Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the All Sport Breakfast podcast with Dancy
Waldegrave from News Talk ZEDB and here.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Is it again, Yes, like I bought one. Mister Jim
Dolan out of the Lucky Country, welcome, good morning Marine.
Hello there, Jim. Let's talk golf and I know that
is right at your rally Australian Open Golf. You loving it,
but the players aren't.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
High morning Darcy. Yeah, it's upset a few people. I
think there might be a push to split it because,
as you know, we've got the men's, the women's and
the all abilities all being played at the same time
across two courses. But that means only thirty women make
the cap. It also meant that the leading women players
in the world won't be here because they only just
(00:50):
finished playing the other day and a lot of the
big names turned up with even a practice round. So
they want to go back to an earlier than New
Year's setting because then they think they can get the
likes of Nelly Carter to play. Cameron Smith has been
very vocal and so of a number of other players
about the course being too easy, although it's not the
way it seems to you're playing for them. They want
(01:10):
a proper Australian Open where you can't just aim at
the flag and the land right beside it. You need
to think about your shots, they think, as well as
the rain and the greens have been watered down, perhaps
to make the ladies and the all abilities feel more
at home with them, but they would rather play it
in Melbourne on the way it should be, where you've
got to really plan out your shots. So we'll see
(01:30):
how that goes. Golf Australia and the sponsors they are
very happy with the way things are going and getting
banged for their back with all three tournaments at once.
TV numbers are up a bit too, so that's good.
It should be interesting on the weekend and the ladies
like playing in front of galleries this big. But we
will see who is the winner out of it. On
the leaderboard it's Lucas Herbert, four shot leader. He's done
(01:52):
very well in the first two rounds. Elvis Smiling, who
went in Western Australia than the PGA last week. He's
five back, hoping for three wins in a row. Cameron
Smith had a back nine he'd rather forget. He's six
hundred our eight from the lead in the women's we've
got two Koreans on top, but it's our favorite Minji Lee.
She's having a horror with the putter. A lot of
people know exactly how she feels. He's three out of
(02:15):
but twelve back. It's the amateur. He joined Yang at
nine under, leading from veteran g A Shin, who I
would imagine this is a lady to beat from here
because she doesn't normally get run down when she's that close.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
So they've turned it into a game of darts pretty much.
You're just loving the balls.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Grammar Smith and some of the leading Australian men is saying, yeah,
they don't want it to be like the American tour.
They want you to not have to pull out the
different repair on the green.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
So it's an Australian Open, Jim, it's an Australian Open.
Isn't there supposed to represent the best of us? Isn't
it supposed to be tough?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
That's exactly right, that's the argument the camera Smith's making.
You should jump in his corner for him.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I will. Indeed, I don't have quite as an impressive
mullet that he got, and think they've only got a
tough and after the horror of November, I certainly won't
be going anywhere near a mustache again. When is that?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I reckon? Anyone could have camera and cover with his mustage.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Let's move on to cricket. I was lucky enough to
Rain and Brett Lee for my program this week What
are top Blake Bingers? And they were talking about what
has to happen now? What does happen to happen now
in this gap after that humiliation at the hands of
the Indians who we just humiliated in India.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yes, it's we're just clabing not playing the kiwis this summer.
You'd be unbearable, Tazzi allround at Bo. Webster has been
added to the Australian squad for the second Test against India,
starts in Adelaide this week. There are reports Mitch marsh
is struggling, but will webs to play or be like
the more credentialed Michael Nisa and carry the drinks before
returning to shield cricket. It's just the weird thing of
(03:59):
the scheduling that there's a break between the first and
the second Test and then we basically played four in
five weeks, so it's Australia had to get it right
here and for the players to have their feet up
for the weekend after they've already had their feet up,
letting me the first Test you didn't turn it, Well,
that's not great, So we're not sure what's going to happen.
The sightings of Marnas in the nets for hours on
(04:21):
end we're encouraging for his fans, but the throwdowns he
was getting certainly don't look as threatening as Bulmer and
co did to him in Perth. So I think the
Aussie's probably had to have a long look in the
mirror because that's all they've been able to do. There's
been no match practice for them, and we'll see in
Adelaide where they have a pretty good record with the
pink ball, but as we've seen from India on this
(04:41):
tour and the last records don't really mean too much
to them at the moment. And yeah, current form didn't
mean much to the meter and they've got the added
problem of three of their better players returning for the
second Test. So yes, it's going to be an interesting
week ahead.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
A couple of things on there just but you know
those throwdown tools that you used to chuck the wangan.
He actually is a bit like a bowling wanger because
he just kind of dawdles into the crease there which
are out of come, so he's got wanger arms. I
might start calling them that and I'll think no friends
(05:18):
amongst the Indian fans. Why is the second Tiers to
day night pink ball, or, as Brittley described it, a
rose a ball. Well, they're so stupid those test matches
and to have it now after a break do they
not want to win? Do they want to throw this
to the gods? What a ridiculous bit of scheduling A.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Bit, Yeah, it's pretty I think it's something to do
with the TV scheduling and the network has it. Their
own is from Perth, so that's probably why they started there.
But yes, I think it doesn't feel like his traditional
somewhere unless we start at the Gabba with a nice
juicy pitch to get the tourists hopping around straight up.
Whereas with the way the schedule is now, they get
(05:59):
to work out to it and they're going to Adelaide
for the second test when we're already in trouble. Pink
ball under lights it's yeah, it's setting things up for
India to do to Australia what New Zealand did to India.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Okay, it's got a better idea. It's avoid cricket like
the plague and talk about what's the furthest way we
can get from cricket state of origin.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah in the headlines, Oh it has to be they
shock this, drag something out all the time to try
and keep it up there. And yes they're still talking
about the Blues coach since Michael maguire went to the Broncos.
You won't believe this sacked after winning just six and
fifteen games as coach seven years ago. Laurie Daily is
(06:41):
the favorite to coach the Blues again in twenty twenty five.
He is, of course, only the second Blue behind Bayne
Pears to play captain and coach New South Wales to
a series win back. As the front runner, he will
probably have to quit his day job as a spokesman
for the tav if he wants to take the role.
It is seen as Michael Ennis, Paul McGregor and Trent
(07:02):
Barrett as his rivals for the role, but not with
as much portersdalely. I just think imagine if Michael Edie
gets to coach them, and the neggle that could be
involved with every player and the team. It could be
ugly but enthralling viewing.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I'm just looking at the dates. I think that story
is about eight months later, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Well we don't even have really the dates locked in
for Origin next year. That yeah, so it's a long way.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And on that you enjoy your golf, not watching it,
but playing it, and we'll catch up again same time
next week. The recidibus that is Jim Dolan. We thank
you for your time
