I didn't know the rooster was a Pakistan Yeah, but he.

Speaker 5 (01:40):
Was also a Fakistan hulkman Cricket threatened to un alive me.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah he did. We saw the Pakistan hulk man.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Let's just keep going on. Let's get into it.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
As I said, we are going through a huge Australia
Pakistan ODI series preview here. So the second match we're
going to do a first match rap as well. We're
gonna do some predictions and things like that. So let's
get into it. Before we start, be sure to get
around this podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and subscribe to YouTube.
That's Cricket Today podcast and all the socials. Cricket Today
AU A lot of fun stuff has gone up on

(02:09):
the socials at the moment.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
This is all that videos. Rooster video is coming out.
I was going to say something else, So yeah, get
on cricket today here. It's a lot of fun.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
All right.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
We're going to start with the news, big news that
Leo wasn't that excited about when I was talking to
him the other day. Australia is big news.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
I think it is.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
It's fairly big.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
If you're a captain of Australia in any format, that
is pretty big. So Josh, Josh, what kind of say
his name? Josh Inglish is the new ODI I n
T twenty series captain for Australia. So for the final ODI,
the third od I against Pakistan and then the whole
T twenty series against Pakistan, Josh.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Inglish is for the second one.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
No, because comings are still around for the second one
apparently arresting the Test stars and a few others are
out after that.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
But Josh Inglish is he captain?

Speaker 1 (02:55):
W A No, I had a look, oh no, I
can't remember who it was, but it wasn't so I
don't even think he's as a captain his junior team.
I don't even know what do we really know.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Surely he's had a captain time at the junior level. Maybe,
but that's about it.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Possibly it does like it doesn't translate level. Look, it's
not that big of a story.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Isn't like we're going to talk about it.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
We're a cricket show, Tim Tim Payne captain eyes.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Well, that was a big story though when he came up,
when he maybe they're saying that he's on the rise.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Alex Carry is pretty much gone now like he's got
in the short format, Alex would be no Alex what's
your name? I was thinking of Alex Carry. You'll be
happy about that because you know.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Called Alex Carrey, Alex from I met Alex Carrey.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
All right, fine, you don't want to talk about that,
We'll go to the next one.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
I can talk about it.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
But I just think it's not that big of a story.
Like it's good on him. He doesn't captain Steve Steve
Smith captain. That's all right, he's washed, he's washed.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, he's actually how Josh l I think he's looking
Smith is actually looking a little.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Bit twenty nine. Yeah, how do you know? Just look
what the bar are there?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Next one in the news Nathan McSweeney is set to
open the batting for Australia, so that match is on now.
They're toying with the minds of Constant. So Constant drops
to four. McSweeney's opening with Harris and then Bancrofts at three.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
McSweeney opened at all.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
He hasn't opened for Shy four.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh, I didn't even know your host the cricket.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
State cricket, so boring. What cricket's ding?

Speaker 4 (04:34):
You care about English captaining some short form stuff, but
you don't care about the grass Australia. You don't care
about the States.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Professional they play on grass. It's very good to start
to their Test career. Anyway.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
What do we think about McSweeney opening, Constant that's going
to shoot him?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Shoot him?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Confidence for Constance anyway?

Speaker 3 (04:55):
You reckon? Yeah, he's really young.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
Yeah, yeah, so I think I think a Cross should
probably be the one to come in, but not Nissa
is picking between the four batsman. I personally think Bancroft,
but yes, Nissa should be in the squad. Took two
wickets in the first in his first over today in
the very one Chris Gale or two. He has three,

(05:18):
three or four after two overs. Just get him in,
get him in. I'm telling you he's good.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
He's a gun, he's a very unlucky in. Put head
at one and then move everyone up the order.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yeah, we're playing with an extra scene bowl.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I told you you'd get ansa chatting here anyway.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, I brought it up.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Surprised we're playing with an extra scene bowler when we can.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
We actually saw the Aussie selection.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Nissa's an all around as well around.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
There's a difference, Sy, that's true, that's true.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
We also actually saw the Aussie selector George Bailey at
the public Yes, we did a good word about driver.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Did you not ask him to come on the Cricket
Today Show? No, he was, he was too come. James
Hopes poor.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
He's a big man. What does that mean? Just just
truck hunting man.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
He's just big. I'm allowed to say that he's woken up.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Anyway, back to who should open? Micsweeney I really rate
out of those four, but he's not an opener.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Do we think that the Ossie selectors are leaning towards
Xsweeny opening there?

Speaker 4 (06:18):
If he performs as well, he'll open.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
I don't think any open is going to perform because
the deck of the G is so green, so I
feel for.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Any open maybe constants of four could.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Unless he makes single digits in both innings, he'll see
him opening the batting for Australia mc.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Sweeny ten and you've heard here first. If he makes ten, open.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Open the batour, open the batting, we can make. We
can probably make just.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
The way the selectors think they're done like that, yere,
George Bailey, Yeah we should have.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
All right, that's enough news. I was going to talk
about Marcus becoming famous.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
And they already did that.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
We already talked about that, So let's get into it.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
The first OD I wrap Australia verse Pakistan the MCG
on Monday, and I were there for at least the
first innings.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, yeah, we went to went back off the po beautiful, beautiful.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Pakistan two hundred and three got bowled out in forty
six point fourevers very slow innings until Zeem Shar decided
to hit some bombs. Australia eight for two hundred and four.
This doesn't tell the whole story.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Three.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
I was going to say thirty three point three overs.
They got the job done in so Australia win by
two wickets, but it was actually really close. The pace
bowlers from both teams were electric, yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Causing, but Havoc middle order struggled for Australia and the
top order pretty much.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
I got well Smith and English got Inglis.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Smith Inglish was forty nine or forty two. It was
really good.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
You've got Nazim Shah was like probably the best batter.
I could not believe that he was hitting sixers at
the g like really big jo wondering No, but like
his confidence.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
He's never never hit him with the ball, never hit
a six in an Ali before that game and.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Hit three or four four, hit a Test mat six.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
There you go, yeah but no, no, yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Mitchell Stark was the best baller for Australia. Three for
thirty three, just a couple. This is why Niece is
just so lucky. The Aussie bowlers just never are they
ever going to retire? No, like Star Coven's Hazelood.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Around the same age.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, that's why, exactly exactly, because these bowlers you can
rely on. Start to get three for, then the next
match comes, we'll get three for. Then the next match
hazew will get three ft.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
It's just one thing will remain the same. Seann Abbott
will never take it.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Three. Pakistan as well. Their bowlers were electric.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Harris Ralph, I swear the only place I was saying
this to my mate and watching it at the pub,
the only place he can play well in the world,
Harris Ralph. The g he's got, he's got a hatchet
there for the stars. He dominates for the stars sometimes.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
And he's got three for sixty seven, which is not great.
He was going at a seven economy but three f
he was bowling absolute heat and a few of the
ones Steve Smith Manus got out.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
He tried to leave it, Yeah, tried to leave it,
but it was deep third I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
He didn't try to play it.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
It was a bit stuck at the third man catching practice,
don't you talking about Manus?

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Manus good little segway there.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
One over one wicket. Should he be bowling? He played
some really bad you know, the saying I crap gets wiickets.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
I hope he proves me wrong. But he was brought
into this team as a batsman. He and if he
like I think, he will have the worst summer with
the bats.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Jeez.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
He needs the bloody. Stop worrying about his bowling and.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Why is he one over for one? He might come
in handy here.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
I don't win the game anyway, whether he bold or not.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
He might come in handy in a spinning deck.

Speaker 6 (09:43):
Zampa and Manas Okay, I'd bowl Head before Manus, I'd
bowl Matt Short before Manus, I'd bowl Maxie before.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
But the other guys, Steve Smith before, he's probably not
Steve Steve miss was he will is an equal fifth
best spinner in this team.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Why are we giving him an over?

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Because he's.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Giving over because.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
He's so unpredictable.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Also, the Pakistan was so dumb they tried to sweep
and then slog him. He needs every ball, that's why
they got out.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
He needs to.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Prove me wrong and just have a good summer with
the bat. He's going to drive me crazy.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
If he bowls one or two every game and he
gets a wicket, that's a that's great.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Efficiency.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Will come and come out and said that, basically saying, yeah, he's.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Got a bowling an over at least an over because
he's always in his ears.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
Because he's always in his ear and it's just a
good chance to rest.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Its just needs to be bloody like you.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Needs to be a hard man. Remember we're talking about
hard man like manus. Shut up, eccentric, stupid idiot, you're
not bowling and over giving it some Maxi or shword
of head.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Who are actually better bowlers the better Well, I hate
to tell you, Eli, he's going to get a fire.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
For any Is there anyone more annoying in cricked history
than Minus who is the keycher was annoying.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
I don't like.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Pants yeah pants, yeah, fancy part. Yeah. Some of their
middle order and towards the end was terrible.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
They have the same Shark obviously was great, but players
like Carrol's real who came in off two boards. Yeah, absolutely,
whack it out of the stadium. You're in the same
show who in his inform? Just get him on strike exactly,
Just hit the single, get him on strike, that would
have been the smart play instead and makes just over
two hundreds.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
That probably cost him.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
If they made ten or twenty more runs, they had
a chance because the bowling really well. Cummins obviously was
the match winner with the baut thirty two or thirty one.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
He's just mister perfect.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
You know you got mister cricket comings. Mister perfect, can
I say that good?

Speaker 4 (11:46):
Look whatever you want.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
You can bat, he can bowl, he can field. Just
looks good. Is a Sydney supporter though Sidney Swan's so
is he? Yeah, he's from Sydney.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
J Cummens or big Bow Webster. Well you say comments
can do everything big Bow, he's not.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Even playing that. Yeah, I would like to be.

Speaker 6 (12:05):
Sandwich big Bow back Bigo is not playing for better
than Cummings in the Big Bowl, mediums better than Commings comings,
bowls better than local gets in Webster Webster bowl is
better spin than Cummings. Website has bigger hands and Cummings
and there.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Just look at him.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
You can tell he's also.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
Got a big fat head compared to Cummings.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Well that's a bit.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
It's more long, he's long elongated.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
I can't blame we're comparing.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
I'm just saying big your favorite tooth even played for
Australia right the moment, Yeah he has.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
He played for Australia.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Breakout used to take over from thirty and he doesn't
played for take over from manas another spinner better than
Manas he.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Doesn't anyway, see that both spinning back comings every day.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
What would you rather nickname was come dog or slug slug?
Why it looks like a slug? I guess, Oh no,
I can't tell. Yeah that's what another podcast. Yeah it's
named after Johnny. Oh wait, okay, I think I know
what he's saying. But there you go.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Let's move on.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Let's move on.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
That's a good idea. The fast balls, they were good
at the g. Anyway, Australia got the win by two
week its wasn't that convincing. But I think the G
as we mentioned last week, I reckon was when we're on,
that was the biggest danger game of this series because
the G at the fast ball is going to be
really good.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the danger game, all right.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
The second ODI I preview, Let's do it Australia verse
Pakistan Adelaide Oval, two thirty pm Australian Eastern daylight time.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Look.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
I wrote down some notes about this Sheffield shielded Adelaide Oval.
Pretty low scoring, spun a lot as the match went on.
Both Lloyd Pope and Ben Menenti had a five ft
in the match.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Lloyd Pope I forgot existed. I love Lloyd Pope.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
I thought he was going to be like a gun
and then he just dropped off the face of the earth.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Married that's going to be Todd Murphy. But that's just
a baby.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
And then Ben MINENTI getting five. But what does Tom
say that in the office? He says, uh, door door opener,
your door handles. Yeah, it's a bit stiff. He doesn't
spin it, can actually spin it accurate, accurate. They both
got five from this match. So I think that's going
to be really telling and really good for Australia. Zampa
could have a field day, Marnas could have a field day.
I don't know, what do you guys, Reckon, it's going

(14:22):
to be spinning in Adelaide.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
I'll tell you what. I'll put the house on it.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
Marna's bawls more than one over in this game.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
I agree. I reckon, it'll be like five overs.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
I reckon, you'll bowl, Yeah, you'll bowl minimum three to
four okay, cool.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
And he'll get two weeks two wickets.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
My thoughts as above is what I said before.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Okay, yeah, yep, touching on this.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Australia has won convincingly in the last three odio matches
against Pakistan at the Adelaide Oval, so they'll be pretty
confident there. I've tucked in some big questions. I'll put
him to you guys, because you guys like answering big questions.
Do you short and Fraser McGirk need a better shot
selection in the match? A lot of people, I think
it was Brad Hadden and a few other pass players,
are like, they're so annoying because they they're very good players,

(15:06):
but they picked the I reckon they premeditate their shots
a little bit too much, do you Uh.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
No, I don't.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
They just got to go for it any I think
that's just the way they play.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
That's their personal style.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
That's what got him into the team, the form off
the back of the way that they bat yep, and
look yeah, look it doesn't look great when it doesn't work,
but when it does work, we're like, well, this is
the next this is the next kid. We're gonna be
sticking around with this opening partnership in tournament. So I
just think, yeah, just just play the way you've been playing. Possibly,
if one of them had to be a semi slower

(15:39):
component than the.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Other, sure, yeah, doesn't matter that anymore.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Are we introducing Fraser McGirk incorrectly into the Australian setup.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
I reckon he shouldn't be opening.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, do you think I think we've had this discussion
six or seven because he can go for a ball
one there.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
Yeah, and because even in a big batchel he hasn't
proven he can stay around for an inning, like he
can be explosive, but he never really ends not out
like he can really like when it's not going his way.
He can't knock it about for two to three overs
and Odiy is longer thirty overs.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
More like, is it a.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Bit good point?

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Should we put him maybe.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Deep as we've gone with cricket analyst?

Speaker 6 (16:23):
Move on?

Speaker 3 (16:24):
I'm saying I like it, it's good, but yeah, like.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Should we should we bat him at six open?

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Then?

Speaker 4 (16:30):
I don't mind Hardy.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
He's a better technique.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
He can he can knock it around for a bit
and he's probably as explosive as Short.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Probably not, but you might have just sold soft hunger.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yeah, yeah, something like that.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
No, I don't mind that, because you're right. If he's
coming later in the order, he can play those natural
shots and the.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
Only thing is once mcgirk's so he solidified that sport
at six or look, he's getting used to it, then
are you going to move people out of the way
to push him up the.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Because he's Stephen Smith and Martinus he's.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
So young that once he can prove to a lot
of us that he can stay around for beginnings, that's
when we can make the shift up top. Because I
still think he's an opener, but I don't think he's
Australia right now.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Okay, yeah, that could be. That could be the best
take we've had on the show.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
That's a good year.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Actually, I'm going to stay silent for the rest of
the episode next week. Question, are the Ossie is beatable?
Not used to facing express pace?

Speaker 3 (17:32):
We talked about this.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
We haven't played that many teams that bowl really quick
and when I'm not saying maybe not beatable, but are we.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Prone to getting losing wickets to express pace?

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah? I think we are.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
I don't think we are honest discuss.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Thank you sir.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Well.

Speaker 5 (17:50):
I guess players are used to facing this pace. They
will have Mitchell Stark pack Comings bowling to them in
the nets.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Who bowl?

Speaker 1 (17:57):
They do these videos of them bowling.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
They probably not.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
As much as forty.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
No, they probably bowl like mid one thirties early one third.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
Unless you talk smack about them in the in the news. Yes,
Steve Smith, I've done something.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Guys. It's like room.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
No.

Speaker 5 (18:16):
I think that's just a bit of a cop out. Nothing,
that's a bit of a cop out. I think, yeah,
they should be used to it, especially in Australian conditions,
in Australian pictures suit past. So I feel like we
should be used to Yeah, we should.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
Be, but I don't think we are. I think it
is an issue like you see what Ralph did to us,
like he was clearly too quick, like a Ralph. Like
I look back to the twenty twenty one ashes where
Wood came in.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah, we were worried. We've been worried with Joff And the.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
Only Asie batsman that test that stood up to the
short ball was was Alex Carrey from memory, and everyone
else was I didn't know what to do even you
know Travis head struggles with the short ball.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
A lot of the players that got out in those
games should be used. Got out to a golden Harris Ralph.
He faces him in the it's all the time throughout
BBL summer, true because he faces him in the nets. Again,
I just think it's possibly just the way some players play.
If you've got something someone more aggressive and more.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
Just because you should, you should be used to it.
Doesn't mean it's a strength tho.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
No, no, but I just think if we like it's Yeah,
it might not be a strength. But I think it's
just a cope out to say that.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah, the extra pace is is the reason they get
is the reason we're concerned.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, the short mixed with the pace.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yeah, don't mind that we don't handle the short ball
while bowling and batting.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
No, actually, yeah, you're right, which is well bounces at
each other in the nets and tested out. I reckon
for a little clip, don't have the I can do
a little, a little bouncer, emphasis on the little.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah, it can just duck down in one.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
By the way that's going, Do you agree with I
ended up go aging with Marcus.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
I agree with you on the last.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
We can do this from now we can have a
little debate and the side I'll be the host. Yeah, yeah,
who's more like Trump? I don't want to answer that party.
I feel like we will lose some friendships if we
do that. Next one too, ones about specifically about Pakistan.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
How was Rizwan's first performance as captain. I reckon he went.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
I think he actually batted pretty well because he had
to bat slow just to solidify their innings a bit.
I think he actually badded pretty well him and then
his decision when to put some of their fast balls,
and I think it was good to got reliance on
him with him and the top order, which I was
going to touch on some fan comments in questions, so
make sure you stick around for that later. But I
think as a captain did really well. I think I
think they got in the game. They probably wanted to

(20:36):
make more than two hundred, but he's like, come on, Guss,
can someone else make some runs?

Speaker 3 (20:39):
They just need some more. The is they only had
four bowls bowl.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
It's bad for but that's because the state of the game,
like working that they couldn't go to.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
They don't have any spinners for the next game. They
like any good.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Spinners Salmon who can I'm not really concerned. But if
he bowled, that game would have been over. Quicker I
had to stick with the pacement.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
True last one will in the Z sharp move up
the batting and water that's what it looks so good
where he is.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, you don't want to.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
He was so fun to watch, was gone. I feel
like there's a bit of ash vibes about it, like you
have any and then yeah makes a naughty day.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Isn't actually good at batting?

Speaker 4 (21:22):
He just had one about ninety eight and remarkable.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
I said anything of that that was like it for it? Oh,
that was unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
That the best nine of your life.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Definitely not well, that might be answer to a thing.
Maybe maybe, Yes, there we go. We'll get into a
good little segue there.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
I reckon. You guys have said segue more than I have.
Now you've got me saying it's in my head now
since we've come back, definitely, stats guy has.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Bring back the roosters.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
I don't have to talk as much, all right, Predictions
for this game, we're all gone get the rooster mask on.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Predictions are we going the trailer? Trailer?

Speaker 4 (21:59):
Trailer?

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Who is anyone the vibe? I think this will be
a lot more one sided than the first one.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
I said.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
The g is the chance for Pakistan to make it close.
They did.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
If this is spinning, zam is going to have a
field day. Our batsman, I think, are really good at
facing spin as well.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
And we've got a lot of part time spinners, and
a lot of them a lot.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
More like to spin.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yes, so we're all gone Australia. Pretty convincing, I reckon,
you're going to be closed.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Not closed, but not convincing, also convincing.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Okay, I agree with markets on this one. There we go.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
All right, let's finish off with some fan comments slash questions.
So I've written down some of the comments and then
I've attached the question myself to it. The first one
comes from why we want to get the fans involved?
This one is on YouTube Andrew T two one five seven.
The first Greek game I ever went to was Canada
verse Pakistan this year at the World Cup.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
I'm guessing their Canadians.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
I'll always do for Pakistan because of how nice and
welcoming all the fans I met were. That's a really good,
really comment there, coming from that. What match got you
guys into cricket or your earliest match memory. I've put
that in there because this is Andrew's first ever memory,
but you can even does that have to be first ever?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
I think it's his.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
First ever memory, first ever game cricket.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Obviously, I make cricket. Cricket memory because its first game.
Do you remember the first game he went to?

Speaker 3 (23:16):
No, actually, don't like first one. An early match that
you got, this is this is sick.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
If you looked at Peter Peter, Peter Patrick Patrick on
his birthday, that's oh yeah, I would have been ould.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Have been younger.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
There, that's a good moment that makes me feel James
Faulkner against Yes, yes.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
Yeah see I have once, but they're all from like
when I was thirteen fourteen.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
You can talk about before.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
Yeah, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Johnson, Yeah, that was pretty good.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Mine was David Warner.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Mine was the under armble.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Like someone was.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Going to war first the first T twenty at the
g David Warner go on absolutely yourself, switch hit. Yeah,
he did a couple switch on the in the best
kids Australia has ever had. I reckon with the Gray
and Yellow ones when they had the nicknames on the back.
I love those kids. I'm with the sleeves. You can
get the long sleeves. Michael Clark got I think two

(24:14):
runout directed runouts awesome, that's my one. I don't even
know what I was around a bucket hat the old caves.
You remember the KFC bucket ats get the bucket out on. Yeah,
it's all vibe all right. Next fan comment her name
Khan Im Roun Khan is so far ahead of Cummings.
He says, that's when in reference to this or that,

(24:34):
I wanted to reference that this videos to check that
out on cricket today.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
Are you, socials? What do we think?

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Guys?

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Is im Roan Khan so far? So far ahead? I
think he might be ahead.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Maybe when Comms retires we could compare him a bit.
But right now, because Iron Khan could do it all
as well.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Comes has got what three four years left? Maybe, I
think the time.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
I think so.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
I think so if his body he's thirty one, so
maybe four you reckon?

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Probably Yeah, he's probably.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Got He's like a fit athletic man. He is.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Earlier in his career he had those bad injuries, didn't
he But.

Speaker 5 (25:08):
When he was when he was a late teenager.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
But now he's been Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
So yeah, we're learning towards Iman Khan now Pakistan fans. Yeah,
but maybe at the end of the career.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Closer to that. I don't think that Commons being captain.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
I would love to see coming and bens.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Do we bring exactly do we bring in trophies to this.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Or in winning? Yeah, well like accolade, Yeah, becoming around him?

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Probably president Pakistan.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, they have a prime minister, but I can't remember.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
I just completely mixed them, mixed someone up.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
No, I reckon you could be on something. Yes, yeah
he was.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yes, we're talking winning.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Yeah, they've had some crazy things happened over there though,
but I don't know if it was under his watch,
but I don't want to get into that anyway. Next one,
I had to get our number one fan in here.
I sed to see Jim, but I see he actually
had him.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
No, he was.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Yeah, I told you it was there. I forgot. Maybe
he didn't he didn't come to see us.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Yeah, he was looking. And then it's like he's that
guy on the risk.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Of away from him. There's that guy Peggan at kids chips.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, I see Jim, but he said we need to
break this partnership. I just wanted to reference that because
literally Australia vers Pakistan if we break a riz one
and Barba partnership came over, Like, does the RIZ one
in Barba partnership control too much of Pakistan's score.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
Yeah, whenever, whenever they win, one of them makes at
least a half century.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, so like if they made a sixty or so
one of them, then they probably could have won.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
So they just needed that middle order. It's just cooked.
They need to make it.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
It's a lot a lot on the rizz lie, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
On the rizzler? Yes, there is King. I think opening
it was as well. Yeah, that was that was bad.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Losing speaking you, but I don't mind.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
But no, no, the personnel, not the personnel, but the
way they go about it. I don't mind.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
I I ube is a very explode like he's like
phrase of me, Yeah, except not as good.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
He's probably seen him hit.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
He's not as good because we don't know a lot
about him. Yeah, I've seen a lot of like weird
highlight packages of him.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
And I'll give you that all right. I'm calling it
that stumps for the Cricket Today Show. We'll be good
