Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the All Sport Breakfast podcast with Darcy
Waldgrave from News Talk SEDB.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Good a, Jim Dolan.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Good morning, Darcy. Are you going to Vegas?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
No? No, no, no, no, no no no no.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Management does have some sense.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well they've got no money. More's the point. I think
they'd probably like to send me away for years, but
they can't. So now I'll be watching it on. Tell
you well, I wouldn't mind going to Vegas at some
stage in my life. We will see under the administration,
though I doubt I'll get there. America. Let's get away
from that and let's talk about Crockett records. Someone's listening.
(00:46):
I mon' have met a flight over the place. So
they're smashing them all over the place, aren't they. The
Ossies having the time of their life.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah, the numbers nerds are super excited about all the
records they'll be able to tick off this weekend. In
the second Test against Sri Lanka, Ossie's were in a
bit of trouble after losing two quick ones. Manas lavas
of pressure over his future in the side. After another
failure where everyone else seems to be on the attack,
it's scoring fairly floral Marnas. It looks like he's battling
(01:15):
for his life and using a spoon. He's just having
no luck at all at the wicket. And after that,
Alex Kerrey made the most of it being promoted up
the order because of injury to Joss English. So he
didn't feel much on the first day because of the
back problem. So he has to be timed out. I'd
imagine the time has been served now. He'll be in
(01:37):
next if he gets a chance. Kerry rocketed past Steve
Smith heeds one hundred and thirty nine, not out Smith
one hundred and twenty. They've added two hundred and thirty
nine for the fourth wicket basis where it all happens.
Not only is it their best partnership together apparently now
they've taken it from thirty four the average when they've
bat together, it's now well and truly in the fifties.
(01:58):
And they have the all time fourth wicket Australian record
versus Sri Lanka and their sites. That's three hundred and
eight from Travis Heay and Joe Burns, the highest fourth
wire get away partnership by anyone against Rae Lankers two
hundred and fifty eight Michael Hussey and Sean Marsh so
three for three hundred and thirty. We're looking to tick
tick tick those off today and the Proodgs, Rilank and
(02:19):
bowlers had their heads down yesterday. Unless they can come
up with a really good plan, they could be in
for another long day in the field.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So is Labis like, did you have like one of
those commemorative display teaspoons or is he using a ladle?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
It looks like he's using We wouldn't spoon my mummy
used to chase me with. He just cannot get the
ball away from the square and he does manage to
nick it or get trapped in front of the stumps
a fair few times.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Slow nation disaster. Right, let's move away from that and
go to the NRL. As discussed before, it's back and
already the sick page stuffed with characters.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yes, dw Z about for the Warriors in that game
last night, that was a fairly impressive start both sides
I think can take plenty away from that, Sharks and
the Warriors as it is only a trial, although these
days were a bit sorry, it's a preseason challenge and
they're all televised, and I think if your footy starve,
it's one thing, but you can't expect too much trimmed
(03:19):
teams when they're running around in the head of February.
So mainly and Saint George took it to the next level.
They went behind closed doors. I did think the Warriors
are good without you know, we'll talk about Shawn Johnson
will be back later in the season, but I think
they went fine without him. Tonight we've got the Panthers
and the Raiders and they're all wondering if the Panthers
(03:41):
can keep to that level or go at another level
higher after four straight premierships. So yes, and then you
mentioned the Indigenous All Stars next week. It'll be interesting
to see if we're taking it seriously this year or
there will be a MATS withdrawal this week due to
players having niggling injuries.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
JHN, tell me what you think.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Lay it on the line, Jenn Bus, Yeah, a lot
of the teams don't like playing it. I wonder if
they're under any pressure from the NRL, but I think, yeah,
there probably will be a few pull out at last
I think the Warriors will probably still have plenty of
players in there for you.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, I think there's five at last count that again
to be doing there, including the Fish our latest acquisition.
And look, it'll be intense. Those Indigenous games are intense
start of the season. That's not reckless, that's just dumb.
I'm allowed to say that because I'm not living in
Australia like you knows, never routined my calls anyway. So
(04:37):
I want, quite frankly.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
You certainly won't now.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No, absolutely not sorry, Pete can't give us a ring.
All is not lost and the UFC is down under
the cage antics cover.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh it's teen back page of the show's latest telling
the newspaper this week, and Sean Strickland has certainly made
himself for the bad guy for this and the backlock
page headline on Thursday of the Telegraph. Can someone please
knock this fool out that shirt he got under his skin?
(05:10):
In his own words, describe himself as a one time
neo Nazi. Ah he yeah, he considers Australians as English
white trash, or even Irish white trash, he says, American
white trash. He should have a lot in common with this,
but he doesn't like the way there's cameras everywhere. He
described Australia as a communist state, although he did get
(05:32):
serious at one stage and said I'm not going to
answer that question because I'll have to break character andrecus Duplessi.
He's loving all of the emotions that he could have
a large selection section of the crowd behind him when
that gets underway tomorrow, and as you would expect, is
a sold out venue, and i'd imagine it's going to
sell a few more papers on Monday, whether he wins
(05:54):
or losers ISRAELI.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Listen, you're going to be in the crowd. Do you
think he's got pretty up close and burst on both
those blokes.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I think lots of people will be there, and yeah,
there'll be the usual anyone and everyone getting their ringside photos,
bro cage side photos, offter gone side photos.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
That's the one octagon cage, whatever you want to call it. Basement.
They could put it in the cellar. I'm sure people
would still turn up to watch it, selling.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Paper tattoos on displaying the flour.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Ink for Africa. And on that note, we'll let you
get on and go back and get yourself done. You know,
I don't know what an eagle on your back? Are
you interested in maybe an eagle on your neck? Jim,
I could see you going along that well, I reckon.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, the travel is I'm getting to the age that
it's too long, not too far away before it will
turn into a bluebird or a buzzet.
