subscribe to the YouTube channel.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I feel like we're not far off the two point
five mark.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah, I don't have the updated I reckon, I reckon
we're close.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, that's exciting. I reckon. We might have to up
our goal at three k, but we'll see how we
go there.
Speaker 1 (01:34):

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Quick single? This could be the quickest ever single. Who's
a good.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Runner between the wickets? A quick single? I'm not sure,
but this is going to be a very very quick single.
Forty degrees in Melbourne today, which is brutal. As Leo mentioned,
it's going to be brutal for the players, brutal for
the fans. I was actually talking to the family yesterday.
There's no heat out or like in professional cricket, is there,
because I'm.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Pretty sure that there would be.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
They played in five or something, they played in Dubai
and things like that, which would have been over forty.
I reckon like, yeah maybe because in local it's like
thirty seven. But these guys are just yeah, if it's fifty,
get it, get them out there. But yeah, not ideal
for going to the cricket poll. I'm glad I'm going
on day two. You're going tomorrow as well?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
There?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, going tomorrow. I think it's twenty two tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Oh perfect, Yeah, very nice.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, if you're going today, and make sure, yeah, keep
hydrated in the bars, and yeah, definitely wear some sunscreen.
Definitely want to bat first, as you mentioned, Yeah, are
we still in towards that?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah. I think whoever wins the toss and bats first
has a huge advantage because you're pretty much locked in
to get at least four hundred running first. You don't
even need to look.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
At four hundred. You're saying, yeah, well, you don't even
need to look at the pitch.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
If it's forty degrees and it is a green top,
it's going to dry out and it's just going to
be easy about it on you think, So, yeah, win
the toss, bat watch Cummen's Bowl first or something stupid.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But yeah, sure he's alright with that.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
He doesn't always win the toss, but when he wins,
I think it's all right. Another one, Travis Head spit
to play. There was a little bit of rumors around
his was it his hammy or his calf or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Something.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, but he seems okay and he was fine at training,
so he's ready to play. Very happy with that with
trad ball, and then the other one Rohit Sharma has
been rumored to open.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I don't know about that. That have been too bad.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
That's where he plays his best. I think Rahul can
make runs anywhere. Sharma hasn't really worked at five or six.
So I don't mind that too much.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You don't, okay, yeah, obviously liking it. You like it,
you're liking it.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Marcus wouldn't mind it because he thinks jess Will has
no our, so either is Marcus.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
To be fair though, So there we go. All right,
that's not that's the quickest single ever be happy. I was.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I think two minutes.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
How good? Is that? Pretty good?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
That's how it should be every day everything I'll keep
in mind.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
That's I'll see what the fans won in the comments.
All right.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Australia VERSUS India Fourth Test, Boxing Day Test late male
Australia confirmed their eleven so obviously I swear constance was
ninety nine confirmed in and then like two days ago
they're like, oh yeah it is in, Like didn't we
already know that.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I don't know what was gone.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
It's because the coach in the mouth dropping mc sweeney
and then not really including another opener in the squad.
Everyone's like, it's going to have to be and then
they confirmed it.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
They confirmed that they want it. From the coach's mouth, obviously,
Bowlin's in, Oh, surely Scotty bowlers. He averages thirteen at
the g and Test two matches, I think ten wickets
six for seven months. Surely fires up on this. How
many wickets is he going to get? You said, he's gonna.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Get over both in it. I think he gets most wickets.
I reckon he get.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Eight, seven or eight. Ooh nice, that would be awesome.
And then Travis said, is good to go. So this
team is as you're predicted during the week hasn't really changed.
India rumors of Shama opening, so that means Rhul that
a lot of sites have Rhul at three, which surprised me.
And then Gil shouldn't Gil drops down a little bit.
And then another one that's been brought up on a
(05:26):
lot of Indian news is that Washington Sunda might come in,
so they play Jadaja and Sunda as two spinners. I
don't know if that's to do with the heat or
or things like that, but excuse me, that's that's good timing,
the great timing. Yeah, I'm allergic to talking about indiot.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
No, that's not true. Washington Sunda coming up. I don't know.
I thought the g's pretty good for seemers as Scottie,
Boland and Starks had a pretty good what do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I know it's interesting because you make the case about
the heat, but they've also got ready you can come
in a bowl a handful of votes, so I'm not
sure about that.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I think Bomar only has like ten steps. He's not
going to get too tight.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Typically, the G isn't known too much for spin either,
like interesting sound for something different to Judea. They want
to rest Sarage, maybe because Deep would be fresh after
only playing one test, and I thought Deep was actually
better than sarag in the last test he was, so
be interesting to see what they do.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, I agree. Let's get into some big questions for
I've got a few off the cuff.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
That aren't written down.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Who out of anyone in the Aussie team is under
the most pressure. We've talked about. We talked about Marnas,
then we talked about obviously mixt weeen. He was under
a little bit, but we didn't think he was going
to lose his spot and anyone else is it was
he probably larger then probably tied second is actually there's
there's three people for second, marsh Lavashane and Line.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I think it's all Kaja.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Definitely keep lying out of your mouth.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
He's under pressure.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
He's under pressure a little bit.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He actually has a pretty good red go of the
g He gets a little bit of bounce there and
a bit of spin. He got the nice Gary moment
that was in a few people's Oh yeah I was
there that day.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That was that was nuts.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Everyone's ready to go nice Gal and then it's the wicket,
so that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, I'm trying to think.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, Kawaja probably is, But that sounds like they're going
to back him for the rest of the series if
they're dropping McSween because now just say the next like
this test was, he makes ten total runs, that's going
to look really bad on the sleeking.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Definitely, He's just he hasn't made a score over twenty one.
This series almost had his measure. He needs to make
a century like fifty would be nice. Obviously top orter runs,
but he needs to really like put it, put his
foot down on this series because he's thirty eight so
(07:50):
this could be his last series in all honesty.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, no, not wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Thirtyeah, thirty eight for a guy that's definitely dropping off
a bit. And then March the other one who said
the Bison he's in the team just for vibes. He's
got the best celebrations when he takes catches, he has
apparently good tunes. He likes to get the gets going
in the rooms. He's always up and about. Is the
bisoning just for vibes?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
No, that's a bit harsh. That's a bit harsh.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Well, I see your point, but I don't know. I
just think if he fails again, there's you should throw
in English. I wouldn't even be a Webster West test. Yeah,
English or Webster, I think English. Yeah, he's just naturally aggressive,
so you don't lose anything in that aspect. So his
Webster as well. Webster offers more with the ball.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
So yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I actually wouldn't be until he answered if they did
it for this test, to be honest, I know they
confirmed the eleven, but yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Maybe give Inglish a ball. Just pretend he's Mitch Martin.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
What would he Matthew Wade, Matthew Wade start Matthew Wade
getting up to like.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
One twenty one thirty K's was back, what was it?
One thirty? I think, yeah, that was pretty impressive, but
I don't think very impressive.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I don't think this is actually would you rather Matthew
Wade bowling on Boxing Day or Marnus Matthew Wade. Matthew Wade, Yeah,
I agree, you're probably rather English, even though he doesn't bowl.
As long as Martus doesn't bowl, will be happy. H
two quick ones which Indian bowler can fire up around Boomera.
I just chuck this in there because Boomra is just dominating.
(09:12):
They need someone else to fire up.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I think Deep maybe Deep. He was a pretty good
last Test, but not at the standard of Boomera. Saraj
can but he always just lets it. He lets the
environment become too much for him. He's just gonna calm down.
I know, he's just very great. He's a great cricketer,
but he can't down mate. Focus on the game and
(09:35):
you'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Actually, he might be what's he doing? What is he doing?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
He might be fired up with this big crowd, like
if something rattles him a little bit, or there'll be
a I reckon.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
He might throw a ball that might be a big call.
He might throw a might put a hit out.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
He might be in the crowd straggling someone Homer, Yeah,
oh my god, that would be nuts.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
What else we got an big questions?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Will Australia stop or to make any runs? There we
go talking about most runs you sais.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Backing it in. It's the fairy tale boxing moment that
we all want. The nineteen year old from Sydney, the
wonder kid as we call him, It will make a
century top order makes runs because between him, Smith Manas
and Kawaja will make a hundred between them, and he'll
(10:27):
make a hundred. And then he'll go to the changing
rooms and tell Steve Smith he's the man of the
absolutely owns the Ozzi dressing room.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
To be fair, there's a few guys that aren't like
strutting around alphas, like Lavishane's not a big alpha.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Steve Smith, No, he's not.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I think Travisaid doesn't give a crap. Mitch marsh probably
heads head and Marshall head and Marsha and then come
and s he's the captain, so he's yeah, Bolin's not
gonna There's like half This team is so quiet and
not a hard man, like Marcus likes to say.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
They're very chill, chill.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I just think of you, guys.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
There's a chill guy. Get a little just chill guys. Yeah,
so I think you're I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
It could come down to Constance and that would be
even the Greek Actually, did you see the news yester
yesterday day before The Greek community of Melbourne is getting
around him.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
If they will have a big, big party.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
The president of the Australia Melbourne Greek Community or something
they're having a big party for him, So you get yeah,
they'll get around Constance as well. Ah, well you already
said most runs. You're sticking to Constances most runs?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, why not? Just a bit out there, dream of
the fairy tale.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I don't even if he doesn't open, he's just too
good to have. I said this other day, it's too
good to have this whole series and not make a
big score. So if he opens, even better, because like
you said, that's his usual position, and then most wickets
you're going to gobo.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
And yeah, yeah, yeah, nice too.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
He will be up there with most runs. Colie.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, he loves the loves the g Yeah, with the
big crowd as well.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'm going to go stark for most wickets.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I said, there's sort of two guys that we haven't
really talked about in that dark is Oh, he's so good.
He's got a wicket I think in the first over
as well at the mcg before, so fingers cross. If
he gets that and it just says ninety thousand there today,
the crowd would be going absolutely Banana, so absolutely, And
then who wins? I don't remember saying Australia win, and
(12:20):
the graphics says Australia win for me.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
But I don't no, I don't actually remember.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I know he said Australia. I was like, Marcus, I
don't remember.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I can't remember. I'll just stick with the graphic stuff.
Ozzie's win.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
We have awesome boxing day tests and yeah, we'll be
laughing all the way because if India win this, they
retain the Border Gaviskod Trophy.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So yeah, which is an interesting one. Who are you going?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I think India win because Sharma is very good at
calling the toss.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Wait that is oh yeah, whoever wins, that's that's going
to inform win the toss.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I'm going to change to Australia, but I think India
win because I just think Sharma can alpha Cummings at
the toss and just get get the early start.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
On getting his head of it.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
By the time this is out, the toss and the
game will already be on, so we'll know. But just
know to the audience out there, whoever wins the toss,
that's who I am backing.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I thought you were going to like drag this pot
out for another hour and just wait for the wait
for the toss.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, predict SA and Australia would be pretty good, but yeah, maybe, yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I just thought you might you might want to do that,
all right, I'm yeah talking talking all things Big Bash

help online dot org dot AU. Lot's happening in the
Big Bash. I was a bit disappointed there wasn't a
Christmas Eve game. I swear they used to have a
bit of a Christmas Eve big bash in the Yeah. Yeah,
they always had strikers on news e Is. Yeah, but
(14:00):
yeah they all they're changing around. They probably wouldn't get
massive crowds on Christmas Eve. But that's okay, that's okay.
We went to the game the other night. Make sure
you check out. Actually I didn't say that. Our interview
is Fergus O'Neil. He provided some gold. I feel like
he just says whatever he wants, He has a good time.
He's just it's just good Vibesburg. So get around that
show that we did on Tuesday, that's on our YouTube channel,
(14:21):
Cricket Today Show.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And the Renegades got an awesome win. It was a
bit a bit way at the end Lea. It was
betting on Buddy Scorches as.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
They did, but the Renegades, it was cruisy until or
the end there and then.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
They still got the job done.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
The Renegades are on top of the ladder somehow, somehow,
you've predicted they're going to go pretty well, and they've
started two and one. We're going to win against the
was it the Hurricanes and the scorches. So I'll take
that every day, the weak. All right, bb'll preview tonight
Boxing Day in Australia, six is taking on the Stars.
The Sixers are two and oh, the Stars are oh
and three and are sticking it up. I'm just gonna
(15:00):
keep saying that because that's just funny with they always
trying to think they've had.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
A great squad.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
They recruit, well, oh we got this guy, we got that. Gup,
he's still crap short Abbott. He's not in the Sixers squad.
I don't know if you know anything about.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
That in there, Oh, there we go. Probably he probably is.
I forgot about that. So he's out.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
That's a that's actually a big out for the Sixers
because definitely he gets a couple of wickets every game.
And then your mate, I feel like you don't rate
him at all. I say, you don't rate him.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
When have I ever talked about this of men?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I feel like I brought him up last year saying
he was all right, and you're like, nay, yeah, it.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Was a little bit poop poo last year. Been a
little bit poo poo. This year, we'll see Stars need
to win this, Like six is aways such a tough
ass though, I staring down the barrel of zero and four.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, I'm guessing it's at the seg. I don't think
the stars have any chance in this one.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
We both need Ducket, duck Itt or Maxi to just
go off or stilliness. One of them needs to make
like seventy or thirty five. Yeah, that's been the problem
with Stoying. He's been better this year, but he's making
like twenty or thirty odd or thirty seven. I think
he got the other game.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
It needs to go on.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Just get a fifty mate, come on hig big storm,
and then they could have a chance to win it.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
But also this is awesome. You get two, you get cricket.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I just realized, because the next one is the scorches
best the heat, so it's a different time. I think
we get cricket from ten thirty to about ten thirty
am to about eleven thirty pm for very good.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
How good is that?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I spoil, don't move off the couch under your air conditioner.
And then yeah, the next one has I just mentioned
the scorches taking on the heat. The scorches are one
and two. That is not a start that the scorches
are used to and then the heat two and they.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
What was I trying to say the other night, was
it they're batting? I think I was. Yeah, they're batting scorches.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I don't think is that good unless fin Allen can
make some runs at the top quarter. He's had three
disappointing games. I think they're cooked. They're not looking as
good as scorches.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yeah, they're imports. Alan and Jennings haven't done what they've
to do at the top. If they fire, I think
it's all right because you've got Connerly three.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, Connerly's the god, the golden bat leader. He's been Also, you've.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Got I think Herst will come in for English at four.
I think he's a poem. I don't know too much
about him. Then Turner at five is decent. So they
just need their openers to fire. They need their openers
to fire. That's that's critical for him.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, because yeah, Conder is doing his Joe.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
He's getting a wick and then he's getting what is
he getting about forty runs a game, so he's.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Got a right.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, he could have got eighty. According to Ferk, you
get twenty ft in the roof. That would be pretty good.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I don't I don't know about that one.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Well that was Zam Zampa said that.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Zampa said that, yeah, two firks.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
So I don't know if I agree with that one,
but you yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And I don't know why Zample was thinking that because
they would have lost the road against They've got twenty
fit in the roof. And then yeah, so Scorches, they're
no no giant. Are you going to even watch the
Scorches with no giant? Richardson, Well, I went to the
game on Monday night. I think he was playing, and
he didn't play. So I got my money back.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Oh did you? I don't know about that.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, I got my money back.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Get your money. But he didn't want to hang out
with the rooster. Marcus the Rooster.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I didn't even know that guy was.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
It was. It was great phrase. But yeah, no Gike
again and then no English because they're both in the
Aussie squad.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
And then Spencer Johnson it looks like he's going to
return for the Heat, which is handy for super Coach,
which will touch on as well.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I think they were relying way too much on Zavia ballad.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
He was getting three wickets a game I think, or
two wickets a game so far in the Big Bash. Wait,
if he returns, he's going to help their bowling so much.
So yeah, who are we going with this one? We
always went the sixers in the first one. This one's
a bit tricky because it's over in Perth. I just
love watching the Heat, so I'm just going to keep
back in the Heat. I'm going to keep doing this
last season.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Johnson will be good on that wik too. I think
Heat win again, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
They've got such a good bowling attack and they've got
bowlers that can bowl really well on that surface. Scorches
do as well, don't get me wrong, but I think
the Heat obviously two and zero and the Scorches have
lost two games, so form stays with the Heat, and
I think conditions are pretty even battle to be honest.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, usually you backed. The Scorches bowlers are awesome and
the Heat bowlers with the pace they actually will be
right over in Perth. They'll be They'll be loving that.
Let's go quickly go through some tips over the weekend.
So those are the massive games tonight after the Boxing
Day test tomorrow and I would have quickly go through
the Strikers taking on the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes randomly beat
the Scorches. Yeah, because of Mitchellen, But I think that
(19:21):
was a bit of an outline. Mitchelin's not going to
make one hundred or even fifty, I reckon ever, again,
that's a bit harsh, but I think that was a
bit of an outlier.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
But who are we going to Strikers Hurricanes?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I'm going Oh, that's tough, strikers.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Just strikers. I'm going to go strikers as well. Adelaide
over Lloyd Pope. He's going to have the redemption season
after after that first game, he's absolutely.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Lord Pope Legacy season.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I saw I think it was Mama or someone posted
posting this for when Lord Pope's getting a fire for
in the twenty twenty seven ashes.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I hope he's not in.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I don't think that's happening. There's about four spinners. Yeah,
is he ahead of Zemp.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
No, he's the head of EMP that's playing cheer Oh yeah,
truth Geez hopefully examples that watching this podcast would be
filthy with that next one Saturday Night actually Stars taking
them the Thunder, the Battle for the spoon.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I was saying earlier in the season, the Thunder at
least have got to win. Audio reckon, can the Stars
get a win?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I'll go Stars.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Now, I'm going to back the Thunder. The Thunder to
have constance, So that'll be a bit of a worry.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
You're actually never going to tip the Stars, are you?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Wait? Heat will go undefeated, Stars won't win the game, Stars.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Will go could be done tonight, Yeah, they both both
both those tips can.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Go wrong tonight.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
So yeah, literally, oh that would.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Be very funny. But I reckon the Thunder get the
job done. Their battle life is still good, and their
their bowlers are the ones that I really like. You
got Chris Green. You've got a lot of guys that
have good change ups. So Thunder for me. Uh and
then the last one because the Thunder and then Against
play Monday nights till we'll be doing a show.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Then the Heat and the Sixers. This will be a
really fun game.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Actually have a final rematch, grand final rematch at I'm
guessing that's.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
At the Gabbar. Let me just double check that one.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I believe it is, Yeah it is.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah, So we got the Heat taking on the Sixers.
All lean towards the Heat. They're gonna go unefeated this season.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, you have to. After what you just said. I've
got on the Sixers.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I think six revenge. Yeah, a bit of revenge. Nice.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
All right, that's Babeur preview. Let's go super coach wash
or super coach preview for round three. Talking about this
the other day. But you got the Sixers, the Heat,
and the Stars all have the double this round.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
So yeah, anyone you're leaning towards in super coach leader
from those teams.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah, So I've actually done my trades. I've brought in
beautiful Jack Edwards and Ben Dorsch's for the Sixers.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Nice nice to rounders.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah, I'll go well, and I did bring in he
doesn't have the double, but Mitch Owen and I also
brought in. This is just more like a bench pick.
But I have to sort of kind of field him
with the flex position Tom Whitney for the Heat.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
If he still keeps his I've got him. Yeah, I've
got him as well.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yeah, if he doesn't, then it's all right. He's in
the flex spots to be all right.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
He's been playing well. I don't mind a bit of
a bit of Whitney.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Whitney.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, a bit of Whitney. I don't know why I
said like that.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Whitney.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, get me in you aside, he's no, he's south
was I.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Think, actually not sure. I think he's from Queensland. I
don't know too much about.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Him somewhere, but he's been he's been going some somewhere.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
He's from somewhere. I brought in Renshaw. Surprisingly. I was
thinking about he's averaging fifty three and he's going to
he's going to be in their top order. He's obviously
not bowling. I try to lean towards as many all
around as possible. But that's why I brought in Jack Edwards.
I think he's he's awesome. He's averaging seventy. I think
Towashes is averaging the most points outside of Subtler Otherland, Yeah,
outside of Subtlen. So I think to wash his savage
(22:39):
like eighty nine because he's on'tly listed as a bowler,
which was a bit harsh because you can hit bombs
to wash.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah, so he's an all rounder even though he's listened
as a bowler. He's awesome.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Then I brought in Philippe as well, just because it's
going to get a lot of catches, so that's an
easy few ten to twenty thirty points. And then yeah,
if he just has a fire with the batj just
and I think he got where he get twenty or
thirty odd last game. If you can fly with the
he's so good at one hundred and twenty two thousand,
super coach, then the Renegades have the buy. I'm keeping
Subtlent and Fergo Neil just because I think they're going
(23:08):
to keep scoring points and keep making me money.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Are you keeping any of the Renegas.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Keeping Ferg and I'm keeping.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Sip It as well because he's been Yeah, he's been
awesome and he's making money. The other one, a lot
of people are training out Matt Short they've got the double,
so I'm happy to keep.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
But he's gonna keep his price.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Do they don't have the double though?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
The strikers, Oh no, sorry, they don't know. So he
has one.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Actually, I might get it the more that we talk
about I might get it because he's his break evens
one hundred and forty five, I believe, and he's not
going to well he could because he has the ability
to score a hundred but he's he's so my trade
him man Lea does all.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Of his trades.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
And then oh you can undo supercoach.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Exactly right. You've got the beauty of the flex position.
You've got the beauty of the undoo button. That's exactly right,
very nice, very nice. All right, that's the super Coach previe.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
If you're round three, let's finish it off as we
always do with the question slash fan comments.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Just don't even questions. It says questions.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Oh well, there was not in the comments.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Unfortunately, I can just make it up now Boxing Day
preview with us some funny ones.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Abby t JUGI won five seven seven.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Just a big fan of Leo. Let me paint a picture,
That's what Abby has said. Abby shout out Abby. Just
Leo said that about three times.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
I was my cousin.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
But yeah, that was that was pretty funny. You just
kept saying that I was waiting for let me paint
you a picture today? Maybe about Constance special special. It's
a special feature of the show. I'm not going to
bring it out. Everything true. Otherwise, what's the point. Doesn't
it loses its magic? Is exactly Andrew te comments all
the time. He Andrew says, I predict Sammy Seagal will
(24:47):
drop a little white present onto Salarage while he's bowling.
I think Osie fans wouldn't mind Sammy Seagull popping one
onto I.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Can't believe I don't call him Steven Stevens well, I
think they do.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
That was online. I'm sure they do. Let's have a look.
I think they do. Stephen Segar just to face Stephen's face.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
That's pretty good, naht. I really like that from Andrew.
He's got some good comments to really like that one.
Then last one no sorry, second last one on first
last one on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
On the Boxing Day preview.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Podcast asked this was from s d q a X
you always coming to love his support. He says that
guy should wear an IPL kit with head printed on
the back to the stadium. It'll be funny as I
think he's referring to the Sunrises. I would actually get
a Sunris's kids. They were very hard to get in
Australia when I tried to get one earlier in the year.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
And then he's saying if I wear that, that will
confuse a few Indian fans. Am I am?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I am I an Indian that's supporting India or am
I supporting?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
It would be pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I would love a Travis Head Sunrises kid so s
d q A X if you can, yeah, if you
know where I can buy one. It was so hard
in Australia to get one. It was also now and
things like that. I would love a Sunrisers kid. I
just didn't like the twenty twenty four kit for the Sunrises.
Well that's it looks very weird, shocking the old ones
with like it looked like a sunrise, like the sunrises,
(26:14):
whereas now they just like just put you liked it?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
