17 wickets have fallen on the first day of the first test between Australia and India.
Our Australian Correspondent Adam Peacock joined Jason Pine to try make sense of the situation.
“When it comes to T20 cricket, it’s batters, and they thrive in that.”
“So maybe it’s not a bad thing that there is still a little section of the game still reserved for elite bowlers.”

Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine
from Newstalk.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Z B bort Adam Peacock joins us to unpack it all.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Seventeen wickets have fallen on Day one of the opening
cricket Tests between Australia and India in Perth Adam, India
all out one fifty Australia sixty seven for seven.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
I don't know. I spoke to my mate Habs after
play yesterday briefly and he said, and I asked him
the same question. I said, what was that? Was that?
Just the wickets? Was a horrible batting, was a good
bowling and he went the ladder. He just said, just
elite bowling. And yeah, you've got to hand it to
both Stark and Hazard in particular for Australia, but Jasper Boomrock,
(00:50):
my goodness, he just made them look like third greatest
the way that he was able to rid through that
Australian top order. And yeah, you've got to pay nothing
but compliments to the guy about how good he us.
He's on these wickets. He comes into his own and
it makes you question what end you do with there? Wick.
It's like they've got a fast bowling battery that looked
(01:11):
pretty good yesterday, and you just wonder why they rock
up with those decks against you guys in particular that
turn sideways. It's weird. But yeah, for the bowlers, and
let's be honest, Piney, when it comes to T twenty cricket,
it's batters and they thrive in that. So maybe it's
not a bad thing that there is a little section
(01:31):
of the game still reserve for the elite bowlers and
they can get the most out of there chosen craft.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
It'd be nice to see some batting at some point.
Tho wouldn't you wouldn't want to take us today?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Three here? Would you?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
No? No, we I think we'll be doing a wrap
podcast on Monday out there saying will they talk, as
opposed to doing one next Thursday. It's yeah, it is
disappointing for like you want to see a contest and
drawn out a bit. But hey, if the bowling's too good,
the bowling's too good, let's go to.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Rug beat the Wallabies on a roll. Wins and successive
Test matches against England, then that's thumping of Wales. You reckon,
They'll keep the Grand Slam Dream Alive against Scotland Monday morning.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Well, talking Tobe for me to be the expert voice,
but I had a chance to catch up with Tim
Horan through the week and he was saying that people
in Australian rugby know well, are happy if it's one
out of two of the next two. Ireland obviously not
going to be easy next weekend, but he reckons this
Scotland side is going to provide a massive test. They're
(02:31):
good at the moment and it's weird, isn't it with
the home patients. They kind of they go from like
they have two or three years where they're very, very
good and then they drop away in their mud again.
So at the moment it seems like Scotland's going through
a good period. I did note that Joe Schmidt and
his team have barely been able to train this week
because of the Arctic cold snaps that's ripped through the
(02:51):
northern hemisphere and there's been no pitches to train on.
They've been training on artificial turf, so maybe the freshen
up might do them good. But yes, it's certainly or
we spoke about it last week, didn't we. But the
PEP and everyone stepped in. Australian rugby is certainly back
after these two wins, absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah, Samon Churan with the All Blacks are playing Italy.
Apparently our commentary team over there just trying to source
every single jacket beanie scarf layer that they possibly can.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Apparently it's absolutely freezing up there.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
And oddly enough, my son is in Serbia and played
a game in bulk area through the weak piny of
the round ball type and he played his first ever
game in snow. So yeah, it's continental wide. What's happened
over there? So yeah, jackets and short supply all.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I want to get to the soccer roos in the moment.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
But first of all, Australia through to the Davis Cup tennis
semi finals are two to one went over the US.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Was this expected?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
No, I've got to be honest. And Laighton Hewett went
bold with his selection first up with party Kock and Arkas,
who's not set the world on fire this year, He's
had some pretty good results, but he beat Ben Shelton
and they kind of set the tie up and they
went to one's look it's it's Datas Cup light, it's
all doing four days, eight teams knockout best of three
(04:11):
in best of three set matches. It's yeah, it's not
what it used to be Datas Cup over the course
of a weekend with best of five matches and five
match ties as well, but it is what it is.
But they went through. Unfortunately we lost Spain though at
the first hurdle, which meant we lost Raphael and Nadal,
who lost his last ever match one. He's lost his
(04:32):
first ever Datas Cup match, lost his last ever one,
and won everything in between, so that pretty much comes
up his career. Op Farmers are.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Absolutely right, full circle moment for him and circling back
to the Football World Cup qualifiers for the SOCCA Rus.
I'm just looking at this table just to explain to people.
It's a group of six. The top two go automatically
to the World Cup. Japan a top. They've got sixteen
points after six of ten games, then Australia seven points, Indonesia,
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and China all six points.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
This is up for grabs, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yeah, Japana through so that they don't have to worry
about anything. They're ten matches you need basically thirteen points
I reckon well, the way that the results are going,
maybe twelve's enough, but Japan are often running and they
can book their place right now. We've just been really fortunate.
We haven't looked after our own business like we did
against Bahrain. Through the we're won their up cruising and
(05:25):
then bang bang, we've got two goals against the run
of play and all of a sudden we have to
scratch around for a draw, which we get. But look,
we've got to take their business fix style. In March
against Indonesia, don't win. That could be gone the long
way around to try and get to the World Cup.
But it's a weird old group because other results underneath
everyone's beating everyone. So at the moment it's still in
(05:47):
Australia's hands that have to be a lot better than
what they were in moments against Bahrain and also against
Saudi Arabia last week. It's frustrating, it's very frustrating. How
to key, we're going almost.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
True almost yeah, back to back eight goal out ex
Actually we need to put it into context. They're playing
Oceania sides, but yeah, doing what they have to do.
So yeah, a couple of games away and as you
know Oceanny you get automatic entry from now on, so yeah,
we're looking forward to March when there's the Semis in
the final in Oceanny. You're qualifying crucially though, mate, crucially.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
How's the weather in Sydney today for a bit of
golf and you're not round to the A League Twenty
four degrees and not a cloud in the sky, so
it is a one Sydney weather for once, brilliant.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Well, I'm going to let you go out and enjoy
that and we'll catch up again next Saturday.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
She's funny one.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
