Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello, Andrew Alderson, Greetings Luke. Before we touch on domestic stuff,
looking more and more likely that the Aussies are going
to have the ashes earn locked away before Christmas. What's
with this English team not firing well?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
They head it in their hands yesterday, Luke. I think
they had those four relatively yearly wickets and I thought
maybe this is going to be a turning point in
the series, given if they went on and they bat big,
but Alex Carey suffexively taken it away for them with
that hundred musbond Tuarge not doing too bad in the
either and coming into that side of make notice of
Steve Smith and needed just annoying runs from Mitchell Stark

(00:40):
and fetch towards the end, and I think threequently sixth freight.
I'd say, well to Australia's day effectively, because you're given
them they're two nail up in the series. England, They're
going to have to have a monumental innings there. I
would have thought to really give themselves a chance given
they'll be batting fourth or at least, and there they
will be, and that's a lot of pressure to deal with.

(01:02):
Well in front of the fifty six thousand of the
adelaide Over I thought was a repressive crowd for the
amen the third test.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
They know how to find the numbers, don't they. So
if it wasn't hard enough finding motivation to get through
these final few days of work for cricket fans, you're
at Mount Monganili. We were standing by for the third
and final test, Black Camps the Windy's crazy to think
these guys have been in the country since the start
of last months. The hotel bill must be horrendous.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, exactly, And well I think cricket might put their
hotel bill for them and then rights when you go
across the west in these but yeah, there's a decent
lenk of two at least by the modern standards and
in fitting those three tests. And yeah, you're living the
last Saturday at Bayoverle on itayover book actually and just

(01:50):
looking at a blue green strip.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
I I've heard that you've copped a bit of rain
and total on this. So how's that changed things for
the likes of Tom Latham because Agazz was a show
and maybe not so much.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
That's the one thing I think Latham's grappling with this
decision at least it appears so at the press conference.
I mean, Christian Clark's played a pretty heavy part of
right arm all round her from Northern Districts in training yesterday.
Whether he'll make his Dave ever be black Cap two
ninety four. But then agents Patel hasn't played a Test
at home. We know what he's achieved overseas, phenomenal performances,

(02:23):
particularly in India, but hasn't play a Test at home
since February twenty twenty. So that's telling you something about
the nature of spinning Museean of course, were less for
spin all rounders in the form of Mitchell Sanda, Michael Bracewell,
and today it'll be Glenn Phillips. So Tom Laker's spaceback
call is whether he thinks it will turn. There's been
one plug at shield game here at bay Oval the

(02:44):
season Northern District's Aorkland twenty to thirty one wickets were
taken by spinning gleen two of Cain Williamson. That was
taken twice by orthodox, so Lathan is grappling with that one.
He'd have a bit of an under ahead of the
start to play.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, good luck conditions do play ball over coming days
but a levity Andrew Ortison just to finish up from
the press conference yesterday there was a secret center, well
there was with Sindys.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
They've enjoyed themselves here. I got this impression Ross and
Chaste Skipper just saying that they had a Christmas dinner effectively,
I mean they lost their inside three days and Welling
didn't have stopped them enjoying themselves at each other's company,
and they might bow well for the prospects of leveling
the series.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
He said that they had these suits handed the camp
of Well wish we had a cap of this at NCB,
but a US one hundred dollars on it. Luke and
what age He ended up with an added as track
suit and I think he bought someone Jaden Seals. I
think it was a prior to Cologne.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
So yeah, keep a couple of slabs of dB mid Canterbury, Rugby, Jersey.
They are on special yesterday. You could have got three
of them for underbacks.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Well yeah, someone that had a word
