The people segment, Let's go rick single. He hasn't read
my comment? What comment?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Here we go, go to the quick thing.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
We'll go quick single first one. I know you guys
are when I put someone something overseas here you go,
why is this in a quick single? Yes, we really
need this, Leo, we really need this. We are a
cricketing podcast and you always go, I know so much
about this guy and this guy? Yeah, how are you
not interested in this? That is the joke. Here we go.
South African Matthew Britzky hits the world record one day
(02:27):
score on debut. So no one has ever scored one
hundred and fifty on debut? Come on? Did you do
it against against the kiwis New Zealand? So that's a
really good phone. New Zealand ended up winning. There you go,
So that was off for nothing. It was off for nothing,
but he got the records going debut.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I mentioned in our quick single, which is watching exactly right?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
What about Williamson's second fastest to seven thousand runs?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I'd argue that's way more important than this.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
No way, Leo was just a big hater. Yeah, yes,
and who cares? There's people on ten thy twelve thousand,
thirteen thousand, who cares about seven thousand? I couldn't give
on runs not test. I think it was oh yeah,
of course, yeah, that's very good. To be fair, that's
pretty good. But I thought you've got to talk about that.
(03:14):
We're a world record, Leo, a world record. That's yeahsive,
yeah it is. He's on. I do need to learn
how to say Sam. And I'm pretty sure it's preezy,
preezky fretzky. That's a lovely anyway, let's go into the
Aussie side of things. Australia win the second Tests, sorry,
their first Test series in schi Lanka for fourteen years.
Obviously they were playing well, well they're playing for a
little bit. Are they playing overseas? Was that?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
But was no Schlanka? Was Slanka playing a home the
whole time? Those fourteen news no idea, Okay, that's okay,
but we've yeah, won our first Test series. There were
what a start? M are you bringing up this stuff for?
I don't know? And then we smashed him in both tests.
Were happy now.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Toil and we just lost our entireshan An audience.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, look, I don't think we have to that's all good.
But wow, great logo, great kid, not good play.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
We're we expecting much. I was expecting more from Sri Lanka.
But what are we expecting?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I was expecting a lot more. To be honest, I
thought it would be victim in the first Test. We've
been over this boys, the so our social media is
never live.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
So the person who handles our social media crickets today absolutely.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Absolute bum. I just hoped to show I have told
you that he was the one that just to show
both I just wrack up here. Anyway, we smashed him.
We'll go through it just quickly. Who did well? Coonerman
and Lion wickets? The man cut a man seven wickets
between sorry, not between it and they both got seven wickets.
Alex carry Now I want Marcus to talk about Alex
(04:52):
here justly.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Anologize, apologize, said he should be out of this.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Apologize. He has been unbelievable this.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Summer and he has he's proved me wrong. I'm sorry,
Alex Carrey. It's about time you went on and made
a big score like this, because that's what you haven't
been doing.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
You know. He passed for the highest score in Asian
in Asia, Yes, he passed.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
It's Gilly Gilly, Gilly, Gilly gilly carry. Carey is now
on the top of that carry.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
So in fifty years time, people are going to look
back on it and be like, bloke, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
They know Adam Gilchrist Alex carry one hundred and fifty
six career high. It was a good they were that
pairing with Smith and Cary. Just the way they were
playing spin beautiful and watch that all day day, Candy
Eye Candy.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
They were very defensive though, Shri Lanka.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, they needed to just field.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
They weren't looking and searching for wickets. It was just
really boring and crap to watch like it was from
Australian point of view.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Great, we're attacking, we're just knocking. Who's English? I needed
to be more attacking to get us out. I agree.
Last one Smith awesome, sure you lad saw that one
of the diving slip. Yeah yeah, two hundred catches now,
so he's on the way to catch that two ten
in Test crick I reckon we should check that just
(06:11):
a bit of yeah, so he's up to two hundred
or maybe two hundred and one needed checked. I think
he's at two hundred now. So team catches off the
most in test history. So hopefully you guess that we
deserve two hundred two hundred.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
There we goes five away from the top three.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Perfect uh and then last two more things in a
quick single the Ausie team. So they had a dig
at ed cow and ed cow and a former test opener.
Bit of a flog. I didn't think he had this
in him, but he was saying that trip to Dubai,
the pre for the before the Shrilanka series, was just
a bit of a golf trip and why they doing that.
You can have a bit of team bonding. It's a
part of being in a team. They're allowed to play golf,
(06:47):
ed count then they go, oh, great golf trip or
something like that. Travis said in the social media. So
who dig at ed Cowen there like Ed Coward? Yeah?
What do you think about that? Hell is they also
were training for like ninety percent of the time they
were there, and then they might have played there. You know,
(07:10):
I have spies there. Yeah, yeah, I was talking to
Dan journey Ah connection.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Best moment yeah, good man, well it said on Travis
Said's story it's another golf trip full stop as well.
Oh bit of a love it aggressiveness if you have
a if you have a miss. So you know the
full stop is not good when you see that on
a text message. And Travis has just given kl on
the full stop.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Leo gives me full stop every time I'm every time,
every time I speak to you. He can I can
hear the full stop in his voice. Lastly, in the
quick single Let's keep it quick, Cooper Connelly, I just
want a big question mark. I know it's not that
big on that, but I should have made a lot
bigger big question mark. I don't. I don't think you
should have got picked. And I said that before and
one yeah, but why we just hadded random business?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Is this one of the he's not? Is this one
of the worst Test debut.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I don't think it was one of the first stage views.
But the fact that he got picked way too well,
he's never got a first class wicket. He proved that
he didn't get a wicket and he got four runs
and it.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Wasn't necessary if you got to pick a specialist batsman
who can bowl some spin, bring someone else in.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Michael Nissa, Okay, can I just point out I think
it was stupid?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Well, he played terribly, that's fine, I don't mind that.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
At the start of the summer, lads, we've been going
where's the young, where's the young kids?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Want young? We want them to play, we want them
to come into the team. Getated.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
George Bradley says, all right, stats guy, we're having to
go with.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Them, No, we want You're going to give them a go.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Don't bowl them three four overs and then put them
eight where they're having to agree to have a dip
towards the man of an innings when we're on four hundred.
Why not, because it's just not giving him the platform
to show the best of what he can do and
keep himself.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
In this one need be fine? Fine, fine, he will,
he will.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
But the kids at Melbourne UNI, you've got like eight
years left like a jury's doctor.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Whatever they call it over there.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Like this kid's gone to Sri Lanka.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
He's living live. Come back, they're just living live. It's
all fun, just all right, all right, it go last.
I'm calling that quick single. We lost the game.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I would agree with you, but we won the game.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
No I don't. I don't win the battle, win the war.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I don't think I give him a platform the George
what he can do me on this show?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yes, I think you need less of a platform.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I think they should put my chair on the table
and I sit on the.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
More of a platform, like a literalestal. You can see
on this if you want, all right, nasty, all right,
quick single is done. That was That was the longest
kid drink. It is all right, quick singles done. Let's
get into what we all want to talk about. That's
why I've suited up here today, the Cricket Today Awards.
So the first half we're going to do the awards,
the fun ones, the ones that we can have a
(10:00):
bit of a chuckle about. We have a bit of
a chuckle about the rest of them, like that, exactly
like that. And then second half of the show we'll
get into some of the more serious ones and we
will give out our Player of the Season, the inaugural
Cricket Today Player of the Season, with this great trophy.

stepped it up again. Scotty Bowl and Scobo, build the
man a statue. Where is that statue? Are they building
it yet? Leo? What are they doing? Where is that statue?
We should start it?
Speaker 3 (13:24):

That match we will go to.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Stuff we'll sticker.
Speaker 3 (13:39):

Speaker 3 (13:47):
And the good social thing there.
Speaker 1 (13:49):

He's actually cooking. All right. That's the cold figures. We've got, Moose,
We've got everyone under the sun. From Marcus and Scobo.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
From me, summer feels like an a you know what
it feels like twenty twenty three summer.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I know it does very weird. Best celebration. I just
wanted to put this in there. We can have a
bit of a discussion. Yeah, this was a trave ball.
When he cooled his hand down, put his and then
he was doing this, He's like, oh my hands on
fire and he needs to put his hand in ice
and things like that because he gets the when he
gets rolled up.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
The Indian fans too because they thought he was doing
a different sort of gesture.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, and then yeah, it was a bit dodgy. He's
thinking it wasn't the context context head.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, but yeah, like if you don't know the context,
first thing that comes into your mind will be learn
the context.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yep, fair enough, so Tradboll I think he's going to
take out the award for that one. But then a
sneaky shout out to Sammy Constance, I reckon.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
He was firing up the croud like this celebration was good.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
There's not many cricketers, especially on their debut, that a
goal like this to the crowd.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
That's awesome, awesome, kum already celebration when he got his century, Yes,
that was sick.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, yeah, like that I'm actually the we just love
his dad.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
The video. I'm very glad I didn't have to see
uh today's celebration because I love his celebrations. Good, he's
another swords celebrations. So very glad we didn't have to
see that one. So yeah, Trubol, he takes that one.
They all accept their awards. Yeah, coming in, I'm coming afterwards.
Yeah when the cameras, So do we get a little
(15:21):
trophy and I shake hands with you and just photoshop
today after dark. Yes, I don't know about that one.

have a think best hair, so best hair over the
summer of cricket? What have you got here? Just we
(15:41):

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Because this man loves his haircuts.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
There was one episode that we were doing at home
we had to reschedule because of his.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
That's such a good and the bus he's been that's
just not even true. I was trying to juggle getting
a haircut during the day balance ballan skit with meetings
the show.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
That was funny though, but the haircut was the main point.
We wanted to get it done during anyway? Long now
best there other than yourself, Tim David. I'll go Tim David.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
He's got to be charming.
Speaker 1 (16:27):

Here we go.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So this is a surprise award, it is. It's it's
one that the people wanted, one that Marcus wanted. So
I don't know actually where Marcus went, but I think
we've got the flop of the season in the room.
Oh my god, there's a rooster in the room. Oh
my god, get him him. So we love Jake Fraser McGirk.
We thought he was gonna have a ripper season and
then he just had that season from hell Bud, he's
here today. How are you going? Rooster? I can't believe
(17:34):
Marcus ditch Us, but he's got the rooster and he
Jake Prasemirk, how hot is it under there? Yeah that
means really damn hot a pigeon. Yeah, it's all right.
At the start of the joke, Yeah, Jake Frasing McGirk,
what do you reckon? Flop of the season, unfortunately unfortunate
man man? Yeah he was okay, he was okay. Yeahs
(18:00):
Mitch Marsh, wegot about him. Oh my god, Markets is back.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Marsh Okay, what what a what a roller coaster of
three is with mitchad Yeah, dropped, best player in Australia drop.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We still love him. He is the best bloke.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
And if he wants to come on the show to
talk about how bad he was, I.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Don't think he wants to do that. I'll talk about anything,
but cricket is like.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
The great cricketer. But we're all twenty years younger. Yeah
except for stats guy, and we know less about cricket except.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
For who was the age of great crickets?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Literally about Yeah, they're about fifteen years older than that. Anyway,
Last one before we have a little break and go
into the next part of the awards, last non serious one,
the Shane Watson Award. I've called this one mates, so
Peter fields from him. I think they could guess what
the Shane Watson Award is about. Obviously led in. I
think he's underrated and you love him as well. I
do love him, but the worst at Ours this season,
(19:05):
so arrest the division review system. That was a twister
and a half for some reason. But yeah, the Shame
Watson Award. Who do we think? I think one man different? Yeah,
three two one mass madness so I love his toast
is in the pockets, but Manus, you don't have to
(19:25):
appear now if he was. If Marnus was the captain,
we would have no reviews left after the first session ever.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Ever, this chill mate so bad. We'll be like India's
reviews system. The way that they go about it. They
just waste them left frotten, so.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
They do so manus he gets that, he gets an
award a leaks, but he gets this one. The shore.
You got a little shout out, little nominee. It's not
a player, funnily enough. Yeah, I agree with this one.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
It's a shout out to umpire Joel Wilson, who was
stuffed Australia on multiple occasions.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
He guesses there were there, there's all these people online
going I'm pretty sure Joel Wilson just looks down, looks up.
He just yeah, we'll give it out. And he's blind.
He honestly, Actually do they get their eyes checked? I'd
have to get Especially in.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Cricket, you've got to have a really well like you
know how players they get a bit older than their
times done. Yeah, same for of course.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
No, of course a lot of umpires are older, but
actually old.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Especially in the shorter format, you need to have twenty
twenty vision.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
That's good. That was good. That was pretty good. I
don't say yeah, look he hasn't mean good.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
He's had some shockers, not only Australia, the Border Gathers
Trophy series in India, but also the warn Marley series.
Speaker 1 (20:41):

A five eight or VI? Is it gambling help online?
Dot org dot? Are you all right lads? To continue
the awards. There's just the awards left right, it's any year,
but we're getting too the main ones. This one I
think is pretty easy. But I just think the player
is well deserved of an award from us. At the
same time, let me say what this thing is best.
(21:24):
Let the award is first the best Ozzie opponent in
terms of a player. So whoever's come to Australia, I
think there's only one player three to one. Oh my god,
that's the biggest, biggest flog. Sirs would have got a
great award anyway, best Ozzy opponent, Jasper Bumra, the best
bowler in the world. Look, we went over to Srilanka,
(21:46):
Lea and I when we discussed on this could be
pretty I wish I did Australia the cricket team did
but made us look like horrible batting. And then we
go over to so I can go, oh, this is easy.
He is the only playing in the world that can
make us look like that. He's unbelievable. So he was.
He's probably the best bowl in the world and the
best guy that was on our shores, probably the.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Best bowling on Australian soil ever, almost ever, maybe an
international ever.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, it could even be because like usually you know,
when you look back at other stuff or people talk
about the past, they go, he's nowhere near as good
as this guy, as good as good as the fast ball.
Even the older guys and the older commentaries are like,
this could be the best summer from an ever, like
did he bowl a bad ball? And genuinely I don't
(22:31):
I remember seeing one.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Well, it's funnily enough because he got a hit for
a record score of his bowling in and over. Yeah,
but I do think any incredible.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
None of them were bad delivering the same conscious just
bad really well top five or a moment it was started.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
With was unreal. He thoroughly deserves this crusty award that's
been passed players.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, that's not that's not that's the last Yeah, so
what is he? Yeah, just our recognition and we'll shake
his tam when we see him at the actual.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Official tim tam. Some Veggie might Yeah, I don't think
you like veg like some proper coaches.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Ye like it. Next one, we've got the best ossy
opponent done. Best moment of the summer. I've actually forgot
to write this one down, but I think the best
moment of the best moment of the summer can mean anything.
But do you recommend you got to be day five
at the g of boxing. I'm gonna say day one
or day five with Sammy Constant, we would it all together.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I'm going to go I'm gonna go session session one,
day one boxing just because I was there.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, fair enough. Yeah, I would have said that test
as well. But if I if I take out the
Test cricket. The Big Bash Final was probably one of
the most excited Big Bash Finals or big Bash games
I've seen in since I've known you guys, I reckon
at least five years. Okay, yeah, don't you think it
was good like that? Yeah? I know, but it just
(23:57):
it just got the hype up like it was a
really loud crowd. I don't know. It just felt really
good to have the big really good again.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I'll tell you what next next year, next Summer awards,
we should all bring up three or four nominations and
then pick from even suggestions.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, they can let us know in the comments any
of these awards. I'm sure they will. We've got lots
of loyal fans. But mcg test I agree that that

field of my generation is Judasia.
Speaker 1 (31:10):

No one comes close. Remember Justin Langer saying to the
Australian team never to take a risk chance running when
is around.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
The ball, his speed like close to the stumps and
just being able to whip it like Ricky Bonding style.

are the locals they must know, what's a boring one
sided match?
Speaker 1 (31:43):

Here we go, go to the quick thing.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
We'll go quick single first one. I know you guys
are when I put someone something overseas here you go,
why is this in a quick single? Yes, we really
need this, Leo, we really need this. We are a
cricketing podcast and you always go, I know so much
about this guy and this guy? Yeah, how are you
not interested in this? That is the joke. Here we go.
South African Matthew Britzky hits the world record one day
(02:27):
score on debut. So no one has ever scored one
hundred and fifty on debut? Come on? Did you do
it against against the kiwis New Zealand? So that's a
really good phone. New Zealand ended up winning. There you go,
So that was off for nothing. It was off for nothing,
but he got the records going debut.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I mentioned in our quick single, which is watching exactly right?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
What about Williamson's second fastest to seven thousand runs?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I'd argue that's way more important than this.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
No way, Leo was just a big hater. Yeah, yes,
and who cares? There's people on ten thy twelve thousand,
thirteen thousand, who cares about seven thousand? I couldn't give
on runs not test. I think it was oh yeah,
of course, yeah, that's very good. To be fair, that's
pretty good. But I thought you've got to talk about that.
(03:14):
We're a world record, Leo, a world record. That's yeahsive,
yeah it is. He's on. I do need to learn
how to say Sam. And I'm pretty sure it's preezy,
preezky fretzky. That's a lovely anyway, let's go into the
Aussie side of things. Australia win the second Tests, sorry,
their first Test series in schi Lanka for fourteen years.
Obviously they were playing well, well they're playing for a
little bit. Are they playing overseas? Was that?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
But was no Schlanka? Was Slanka playing a home the
whole time? Those fourteen news no idea, Okay, that's okay,
but we've yeah, won our first Test series. There were
what a start? M are you bringing up this stuff for?
I don't know? And then we smashed him in both tests.
Were happy now.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Toil and we just lost our entireshan An audience.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, look, I don't think we have to that's all good.
But wow, great logo, great kid, not good play.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
We're we expecting much. I was expecting more from Sri Lanka.
But what are we expecting?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I was expecting a lot more. To be honest, I
thought it would be victim in the first Test. We've
been over this boys, the so our social media is
never live.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
So the person who handles our social media crickets today absolutely.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Absolute bum. I just hoped to show I have told
you that he was the one that just to show
both I just wrack up here. Anyway, we smashed him.
We'll go through it just quickly. Who did well? Coonerman
and Lion wickets? The man cut a man seven wickets
between sorry, not between it and they both got seven wickets.
Alex carry Now I want Marcus to talk about Alex
(04:52):
here justly.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Anologize, apologize, said he should be out of this.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Apologize. He has been unbelievable this.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Summer and he has he's proved me wrong. I'm sorry,
Alex Carrey. It's about time you went on and made
a big score like this, because that's what you haven't
been doing.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
You know. He passed for the highest score in Asian
in Asia, Yes, he passed.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
It's Gilly Gilly, Gilly, Gilly gilly carry. Carey is now
on the top of that carry.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
So in fifty years time, people are going to look
back on it and be like, bloke, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
They know Adam Gilchrist Alex carry one hundred and fifty
six career high. It was a good they were that
pairing with Smith and Cary. Just the way they were
playing spin beautiful and watch that all day day, Candy
Eye Candy.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
They were very defensive though, Shri Lanka.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, they needed to just field.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
They weren't looking and searching for wickets. It was just
really boring and crap to watch like it was from
Australian point of view.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Great, we're attacking, we're just knocking. Who's English? I needed
to be more attacking to get us out. I agree.
Last one Smith awesome, sure you lad saw that one
of the diving slip. Yeah yeah, two hundred catches now,
so he's on the way to catch that two ten
in Test crick I reckon we should check that just
(06:11):
a bit of yeah, so he's up to two hundred
or maybe two hundred and one needed checked. I think
he's at two hundred now. So team catches off the
most in test history. So hopefully you guess that we
deserve two hundred two hundred.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
There we goes five away from the top three.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Perfect uh and then last two more things in a
quick single the Ausie team. So they had a dig
at ed cow and ed cow and a former test opener.
Bit of a flog. I didn't think he had this
in him, but he was saying that trip to Dubai,
the pre for the before the Shrilanka series, was just
a bit of a golf trip and why they doing that.
You can have a bit of team bonding. It's a
part of being in a team. They're allowed to play golf,
(06:47):
ed count then they go, oh, great golf trip or
something like that. Travis said in the social media. So
who dig at ed Cowen there like Ed Coward? Yeah?
What do you think about that? Hell is they also
were training for like ninety percent of the time they
were there, and then they might have played there. You know,
(07:10):
I have spies there. Yeah, yeah, I was talking to
Dan journey Ah connection.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Best moment yeah, good man, well it said on Travis
Said's story it's another golf trip full stop as well.
Oh bit of a love it aggressiveness if you have
a if you have a miss. So you know the
full stop is not good when you see that on
a text message. And Travis has just given kl on
the full stop.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Leo gives me full stop every time I'm every time,
every time I speak to you. He can I can
hear the full stop in his voice. Lastly, in the
quick single Let's keep it quick, Cooper Connelly, I just
want a big question mark. I know it's not that
big on that, but I should have made a lot
bigger big question mark. I don't. I don't think you
should have got picked. And I said that before and
one yeah, but why we just hadded random business?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Is this one of the he's not? Is this one
of the worst Test debut.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I don't think it was one of the first stage views.
But the fact that he got picked way too well,
he's never got a first class wicket. He proved that
he didn't get a wicket and he got four runs
and it.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Wasn't necessary if you got to pick a specialist batsman
who can bowl some spin, bring someone else in.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Michael Nissa, Okay, can I just point out I think
it was stupid?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Well, he played terribly, that's fine, I don't mind that.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
At the start of the summer, lads, we've been going
where's the young, where's the young kids?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Want young? We want them to play, we want them
to come into the team. Getated.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
George Bradley says, all right, stats guy, we're having to
go with.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Them, No, we want You're going to give them a go.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Don't bowl them three four overs and then put them
eight where they're having to agree to have a dip
towards the man of an innings when we're on four hundred.
Why not, because it's just not giving him the platform
to show the best of what he can do and
keep himself.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
In this one need be fine? Fine, fine, he will,
he will.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
But the kids at Melbourne UNI, you've got like eight
years left like a jury's doctor.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Whatever they call it over there.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Like this kid's gone to Sri Lanka.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
He's living live. Come back, they're just living live. It's

Speaker 3 (09:26):
I don't think I give him a platform the George
what he can do me on this show?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yes, I think you need less of a platform.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I think they should put my chair on the table

Speaker 1 (09:38):
More of a platform, like a literalestal. You can see
on this if you want, all right, nasty, all right,
quick single is done. That was That was the longest

the fun ones, the ones that we can have a
(10:00):

stepped it up again. Scotty Bowl and Scobo, build the
man a statue. Where is that statue? Are they building
it yet? Leo? What are they doing? Where is that statue?
We should start it?
Speaker 3 (13:24):

That match we will go to.
Speaker 3 (13:31):

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Stuff we'll sticker.
Speaker 3 (13:39):

Speaker 3 (13:47):
And the good social thing there.
Speaker 1 (13:49):

dominated got so many wickets and he is cooking over there.
He's actually cooking. All right. That's the cold figures. We've got, Moose,
We've got everyone under the sun. From Marcus and Scobo.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
From me, summer feels like an a you know what
it feels like twenty twenty three summer.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I know it does very weird. Best celebration. I just
wanted to put this in there. We can have a
bit of a discussion. Yeah, this was a trave ball.
When he cooled his hand down, put his and then
he was doing this, He's like, oh my hands on
fire and he needs to put his hand in ice
and things like that because he gets the when he
gets rolled up.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
The Indian fans too because they thought he was doing
a different sort of gesture.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, and then yeah, it was a bit dodgy. He's
thinking it wasn't the context context head.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, but yeah, like if you don't know the context,
first thing that comes into your mind will be learn
the context.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yep, fair enough, so Tradboll I think he's going to
take out the award for that one. But then a
sneaky shout out to Sammy Constance, I reckon.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
He was firing up the croud like this celebration was good.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
There's not many cricketers, especially on their debut, that a
goal like this to the crowd.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
That's awesome, awesome, kum already celebration when he got his century, Yes,
that was sick.

summer of cricket? What have you got here? Just we

There was one episode that we were doing at home

just not even true. I was trying to juggle getting
a haircut during the day balance ballan skit with meetings

Here we go.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So this is a surprise award, it is. It's it's
one that the people wanted, one that Marcus wanted. So
I don't know actually where Marcus went, but I think
we've got the flop of the season in the room.
Oh my god, there's a rooster in the room. Oh
my god, get him him. So we love Jake Fraser McGirk.
We thought he was gonna have a ripper season and
then he just had that season from hell Bud, he's
here today. How are you going? Rooster? I can't believe
(17:34):
Marcus ditch Us, but he's got the rooster and he
Jake Prasemirk, how hot is it under there? Yeah that
means really damn hot a pigeon. Yeah, it's all right.
At the start of the joke, Yeah, Jake Frasing McGirk,
what do you reckon? Flop of the season, unfortunately unfortunate
man man? Yeah he was okay, he was okay. Yeahs
(18:00):
Mitch Marsh, wegot about him. Oh my god, Markets is back.

Speaker 3 (18:05):

were some good shouts.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I think Mitch Marsh, I'm going to go. I'm gonna go.
Jake Fraseman, I thought he was going to tee up
and say I will go Mitchell.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Marsh Okay, what what a what a roller coaster of
three is with mitchad Yeah, dropped, best player in Australia drop.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We still love him. He is the best bloke.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
And if he wants to come on the show to
talk about how bad he was, I.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Don't think he wants to do that. I'll talk about anything,
but cricket is like.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
The great cricketer. But we're all twenty years younger. Yeah
except for stats guy, and we know less about cricket except.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
For who was the age of great crickets?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Literally about Yeah, they're about fifteen years older than that. Anyway,
Last one before we have a little break and go
into the next part of the awards, last non serious one,
the Shane Watson Award. I've called this one mates, so
Peter fields from him. I think they could guess what
the Shane Watson Award is about. Obviously led in. I
think he's underrated and you love him as well. I
do love him, but the worst at Ours this season,
(19:05):
so arrest the division review system. That was a twister
and a half for some reason. But yeah, the Shame
Watson Award. Who do we think? I think one man different? Yeah,
three two one mass madness so I love his toast
is in the pockets, but Manus, you don't have to
(19:25):
appear now if he was. If Marnus was the captain,
we would have no reviews left after the first session ever.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Ever, this chill mate so bad. We'll be like India's
reviews system. The way that they go about it. They
just waste them left frotten, so.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
They do so manus he gets that, he gets an
award a leaks, but he gets this one. The shore.
You got a little shout out, little nominee. It's not
a player, funnily enough. Yeah, I agree with this one.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
It's a shout out to umpire Joel Wilson, who was
stuffed Australia on multiple occasions.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
He guesses there were there, there's all these people online
going I'm pretty sure Joel Wilson just looks down, looks up.
He just yeah, we'll give it out. And he's blind.
He honestly, Actually do they get their eyes checked? I'd
have to get Especially in.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Cricket, you've got to have a really well like you
know how players they get a bit older than their
times done. Yeah, same for of course.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
No, of course a lot of umpires are older, but
actually old.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Especially in the shorter format, you need to have twenty
twenty vision.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
That's good. That was good. That was pretty good. I
don't say yeah, look he hasn't mean good.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
He's had some shockers, not only Australia, the Border Gathers
Trophy series in India, but also the warn Marley series.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
We were going to get him on the I'm just
definitely not all right. That's the shamee Watson a war.
That was the main five mines. We'll get into the
more serious ones and hand out the big trophy just
after this little shout out before we get continue out
very prestigious awards. Make sure to check out tab Touch
for their sports markets which cover every cricket match this season.

(21:02):
a bit? You really want? A place for free and
confidential support called one eight hundred and eight five eight
A five eight or VI? Is it gambling help online?
Dot org dot? Are you all right lads? To continue
the awards. There's just the awards left right, it's any year,
but we're getting too the main ones. This one I
think is pretty easy. But I just think the player
is well deserved of an award from us. At the
same time, let me say what this thing is best.
(21:24):
Let the award is first the best Ozzie opponent in
terms of a player. So whoever's come to Australia, I
think there's only one player three to one. Oh my god,
that's the biggest, biggest flog. Sirs would have got a
great award anyway, best Ozzy opponent, Jasper Bumra, the best
bowler in the world. Look, we went over to Srilanka,
(21:46):
Lea and I when we discussed on this could be
pretty I wish I did Australia the cricket team did
but made us look like horrible batting. And then we
go over to so I can go, oh, this is easy.
He is the only playing in the world that can
make us look like that. He's unbelievable. So he was.
He's probably the best bowl in the world and the
best guy that was on our shores, probably the.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Best bowling on Australian soil ever, almost ever, maybe an
international ever.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, it could even be because like usually you know,
when you look back at other stuff or people talk
about the past, they go, he's nowhere near as good
as this guy, as good as good as the fast ball.
Even the older guys and the older commentaries are like,
this could be the best summer from an ever, like
did he bowl a bad ball? And genuinely I don't
(22:31):
I remember seeing one.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Well, it's funnily enough because he got a hit for
a record score of his bowling in and over. Yeah,
but I do think any incredible.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
None of them were bad delivering the same conscious just
bad really well top five or a moment it was started.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
With was unreal. He thoroughly deserves this crusty award that's
been passed players.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, that's not that's not that's the last Yeah, so
what is he? Yeah, just our recognition and we'll shake
his tam when we see him at the actual.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Official tim tam. Some Veggie might Yeah, I don't think
you like veg like some proper coaches.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Ye like it. Next one, we've got the best ossy
opponent done. Best moment of the summer. I've actually forgot
to write this one down, but I think the best
moment of the best moment of the summer can mean anything.
But do you recommend you got to be day five
at the g of boxing. I'm gonna say day one
or day five with Sammy Constant, we would it all together.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I'm going to go I'm gonna go session session one,
day one boxing just because I was there.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, fair enough. Yeah, I would have said that test
as well. But if I if I take out the
Test cricket. The Big Bash Final was probably one of
the most excited Big Bash Finals or big Bash games
I've seen in since I've known you guys, I reckon
at least five years. Okay, yeah, don't you think it
was good like that? Yeah? I know, but it just
(23:57):
it just got the hype up like it was a
really loud crowd. I don't know. It just felt really
good to have the big really good again.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I'll tell you what next next year, next Summer awards,
we should all bring up three or four nominations and
then pick from even suggestions.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, they can let us know in the comments any
of these awards. I'm sure they will. We've got lots
of loyal fans. But mcg test I agree that that
