eight hundred eighty five eight A five eight or visit
Gambling help online dot org dot Are you quick singles
the segment it's gonna be really quickly. I just put
these in because I just saw these are in the news.
(03:04):
I did say this though the first one is a
little bit funny.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's funny. I think it's very mean.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Well, but like it's funny because India India have strict
new rules about family wives, girlfriends, partners, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
After they're lost to Australia. So if they're all o,
the co goes well. Yeah, so India obviously lost to Australia.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
They said that the partners of the players were too
heavily involved or too much around too.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Did they say that. They didn't say that in the article.
I've read the article. Yeah, they said that that that
was part of a problem.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
They think so on their forty five day tours, it
used to be I think too, sorry, more than two
weeks they're allowed with you, but now it's down to
fourteen days, and then on a shorter tour it's seven days.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
That's what I read. What do we think about that?
I think that's very harsh.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
It's not like the partners of players or staff and
things like that aren't going to affect the like it's
probably a good thing to have your family there, especially
if you.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Have kids or you have a wife or switching to
isolate them.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Yeah, the impact on the players that could have you
never know, like every player would be different to it.
But yeah, I think it's really really strict and I
don't think it's.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Like any reason why they lost. That's why. That's why
it was funny. That's why I said the start was funny.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's just I feel like India have had this all
this media probably going oh, you're not good enough for
things like that, and like, oh, we've got to change something.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Why is this the thing that changing.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
They don't want the fans come into their training sessions,
they don't want the.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Partners of the players there.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I don't and they're they changed another rule as well,
they have to go to games via the team.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
But I don't mind that.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I like that because it's already did that because there's
probably half the players that do, and then you've probably
got Colie and some of the bigger names that just goes.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Which it differ would actually hate that because then the
bus would get.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
That's the only thing I would say India is way
different in that sense to Australia because they get mobbed
like you might like Holy for example, wouldn't be able
to step one step out of anywhere he goes so
maybe a team bus might make that worse, but I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
We think that's a bit harsh, though, I think it's harsh. Yeah,
I think girlfriends here very harsh.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Next one of the quick single many people I've meant
this train open a lot many people comparing Nick Curios
two Constant. Who are these people? Are these people are
constantly Curios? Who are these people comparing?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Just like there was like three articles Yeah by who crappy?
I just wanted to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I'm not going to say who the organizations, but we
could find out one of them is probably They're very different,
I think, I just I think people are trying to say, oh,
they're a bit of.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
A bad boy.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
But Sammy Constas seems like a nice guy, whereas Curios
is just a four.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Conscious is immature. Curios is immature.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
But he's more like he's more trying to be like
I don't know, like.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I get that. It's like air of arrogance. Yeah, about
both of them, they're different. They're on different ends of.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
The to be fair, they're flashy flash This is the
other thing.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
When Curios started, though, it was very similar.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Everyone loved him, like when he first started it's the
same as Sammy Conson.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Do you think he's going to.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Have a bit of trajectory where people are not like him,
even Australian Sami.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Const Actually, but that's not I don't think that's the
way he acts. I think it's just I don't think
so because tennis and cricket sport.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I just did the comparisons last week.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
He's got players in the team like Pat Cummins and.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Keeps a level head, no good and and he trains
a lot harder than us because do you watch them? Yeah,
I follow the same consents. Everywhere goes that what's that page?
Sexy Sammy Constant, that's creepy, but we like that guy
comes on lots of our stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
So all right.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Next one in the quick single, Bo Webster b b
W Big Bow Webster joins County Cricket. He's a perfect
preparation for the World Test Championship. I read today if Green,
if cam Green and Bow Webster are healthy lads, who
we picking great?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I'm actually on I'm on today Webster had that one.
I'm picking both both both they.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
All out of your behind sitting you would pick two
will show drop Kaja open head in the World Test
Championship Final against If you had a.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Gun, you had a gun to your head and you
had to pick one.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
If I had a gun to my head, I had
to pick one. I'm picking bow Webster, oh.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Right now, right now, right now, because came Green has
had a lot of time off. But if he gets
back to his best level, he's not injured, I'm picking cam.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Can I also just say the reason I want both
in the team. We only would need to slips then.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Because filders around the back they cover the whole slip.
They could cover legs slicing.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I think they're at gully. They also cover short leg.
They're just everywhere. Sorry short expect to get off.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That's somewhat of a position. There we go.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So we're going we're leaning towards bo Webster in the
World Test Championship Final. Just but I reckon they might
pick him Green.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I know.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
But you can't drop him after one game where he was?
Was he was he in the match in that game?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
No? I don't think he was. Was he not sure?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Boland, he's pretty good that guy.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Build a statue.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
All right, let's get into you see the mc g
official Instagram account or Twitter account Facebook accunt posted should
we build the man a statue? Dot dot dot?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Do you reckon? It's possible? No, even build a statue?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
No, like it might be a little a little one
like not because you know the big ones are like
warning legendary AFL players. Literally, Yeah, I think he should
go on a big one, just like a little a
little plant something because because he's.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Like a Melbourne already, like inside the g memory we
have like a Bowland end or something, the Bowlin barl.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, what like near the long room something of him?
Got Don Radmonds.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
All right, we'll get on. We'll get it today. We'll
get a petition for that. I reckon, all right, that's
the quick single, quick enough. No, no, he loved it
all right, Australia already I squad for the champions Trophy
next month.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Here we go. I want do you want to read
it out or do we just want to talk through it.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I'll read it out, Pat Commons, Alex Carey, Nathan Alice
back in the team. Very excited about that. Aaron Hardy,
Josh Hazelwood, Travis Head, Josh Inglish, Minus Labashet Mitch Marsh,
Glenn Maxwell, Matt Short, Steve Smith, Mitchell Stark, Marcus Dounus
and his mate Adam Zeppa. So everyone in there was
in there for the lasts we played, except for Nathan
(09:46):
Alice I believe, Yeah, and maybe Maxie because he was injured.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
No Abbot, that's the one I can A little bit
has been good.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I'm very surprised by Aaron Hardy.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
He's been so about it. We've talked about him in
the Big Bash. He has been horrible. Yeah, but since
he's been back.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
I would have like to see Bo Webster as well
in this team.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
But yeah, is he an already I player. Probably? Yeah,
he plays well in the short format. You can do anything,
you know, anything, But what else could he could? Maybe
someone's kids, Yeah, he could be Fineman. Maybe got long
leavers reach out for the cat in the tree. Yeah,
it kind of looks like a tattoo artist to me.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
He does, because yeah, he looks Brunswick kids, right, No,
put some respect on his name.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
He does not look like that. He does.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
He looks like he's down from like Danny Noong or something.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Well, how often do you go to Daniel pretty talking
about Aaron Hardy. He actually has played a lot more
games than I thought here is he scores twenty four
to ten, thirty four zero twenty two.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, it's not great, is it?
Speaker 4 (10:53):
And like those those twenty two and thirties are about
run a.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Ball and he hasn't bowled one ball in the big back.
Why is it not bowling? Must be injured still.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
They've got a lot of body. But I don't think
he'd be in the starting team team right now.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
No, and then obviously the big one who got dropped,
Jake Fraser mc we said he shouldn't really be in
any Yeah, he probably shouldn't even be in any pro
team right now of Australia.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Well, going to the International T twenty camp as soon
as the Renegade season ends.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Which will is that in Dubai? Actually don't know. That's
it's all all.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Those big money ones are in Dubai. Yeah, I'm very
happy nathanalysis is now. I'm very happy that English English.
Do you think English over Carey? I think English is
more suited to cricket you love Yeah, I love English.
I think he's good enough to deserve a go. Yeah,
like Alex here has been, Carry is pretty good at
Odios too, but English was really good when we went
and watched the g.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I think English just because he plays more domestic sort
of one day cricket rather than carry deserves.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Ye, who will open alongside Head? Uh, you've got You've
got a lot of options.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Who could open, That could open, laber Shane could open,
low Key, Yeah, could open.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I don't want Smith opening in Odi. I don't reckon,
I don't reckon.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
But Marsh could open. Martian Head did open. Wasn't he
about it? Three in the World Cups and things like that.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
They might go with Marsh and Head to open and
then sort of stack the middle, can't even use might
stack the middle order with Smith and laber Shane to
be sort of the anchors English at five.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Maybe there's one thing with the squad. Who could have opened?
Who's not in the squad?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Who he's opened once in the fashion, now he's going
to be opening up.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
He looked like someone who'd come in at like number
seven in the thirds.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah. Liam Haskett's dad looks who caught it? Yeah, just
got a good just like.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Someone who'd come in at like seven in the thirds.
You'd have a team five for fifty and he'd come
in and make fifty off sixty and just kill the game.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Sure what it looks like than Jake raising mcgir Yeah,
well he is.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
He's Jake the team getam as. Is anyone in there
that should be in there that's not?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Or we pretty happy? I'm pretty happy. Off the top
of my head, I can't think of anyone else.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Alice, maybe Alie. I don't know if he should still be.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I was gonna I like him like I was gonna float.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
I'm an advocate for Alice actually being in the eleven.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah. Same. I think he's really good at white a
great as well.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah yeah, he doesn't like.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
No, that's domestic. He's not short.
Speaker 2 (13:36):

Speaker 1 (13:59):
I'm loving are we Is Hazelwood playing in this bowling
in the teams?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Why not get him in the saving for the test team?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Yeah, that's where I think Alice should go over a
hazel I agree.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
In the short format, I don't think Marcus will agree.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
He's big. One eighty four says, yeah, that's tall. He
is tall. That's six. That's tall, six six tall than
you should You should open the bowling for Shure fash him.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
All right, that is enough for the gotta be happy. Ah, yeah,
pretty pretty happy with I'm actually very happy with that squad.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I think we'll do.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Five foot nine, which is not one eighty four.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
No, that's about one seventy four, because that's a bit tall. Men. Interesting,
this is a conspiracy that goes all the way.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Let's just say it's in the middle of five eleven.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
All right, Australia versus England women's ashes are actually got
the job done again yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Just do you want to go through this one?
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Yeah, so the Aussie is battered first, all that for
one eighty at least Perry made sixty legend legend, but
the Aussies were two for one hundred and thirty one,
so they capitulated at the end. Jeez, I don't apologies
for the pronunciation, but Ecclestone, Ecleston, Eckleston. Yeah, she's a
very good bowler, bowl spin forty thirty five. I think
(15:10):
she was actually she was going pretty expensively in her
first bowl and intensively is that a word? And then
she brought it back nicely. And Alice Capsy as well,
Renegade's legend.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Alice CAPSI played.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
For the in the last season three for twenty two
and then England batted a lot of starts.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Amy Jones forty seven not out sort of, she was
really thirty last match. Yeah, and then the Alana King show.
I love Alta King, the spin King and Kimmy Garth
as well. Three for thirty Sevenna King is so good
to watch.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I love what it's always wearing, the sunny sometimes wears
the captain I don't know about the Caps.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Were bowling with the cap. That's the guy hosting in
the cap. Just forgot about it. The best Australian leg
spinner since Shane warn Though. You're into that same of
all time. Marcus, you're forgetting James muirhead that he was alleged.
I was trying to say, I don't need to talk
about it that much, but he was. He should have
(16:07):
been he's he should have stayed in the TV. He
vanished the face of the he was so good. Yeah,
from Altona.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
That's just the past memory I forgot about Jimmy in
your head from ALTONA. Jimmy, he was a gun. You
packed up because you just like exploded a part of
my memory that I forgot existed.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
He played back when Jimmy Faulkner was doing.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah nice, all right, as well, what are you looking
at her?
Speaker 2 (16:38):

boring and playing mate. Alright, your water grilled is the
simply grilled? You put me on the bonp.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
All right, I'm calling that sponsor US though, one hundred
percent if they're watching, they're literally underneath.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yep. I'll ask the guy down there.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
He's a chatty bogue as talking about actually you two
head down the actual mission, alright to get a spotor alright,
that's the women's to zero. The Aussies are up. That's
very very good. We just need to fix up our
batting a bit. But I don't want to collapse next one.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Dot org? Dot?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Are you maybe our talking points? Thank you very much
for putting these in there. I've been a bit tennis mode.
What happened last night the renegade is what the hell?
I already knew without looking at this guy?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
We lost in the last couple of balls. What happened
the night before?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Though, Scorches eliminated all down for ninety seven stats, going.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
First time since twenty nineteen. The Scorches are not going
to be in the podcast. Thing I know about the
last Thank god. I'm sick of the school the same
team has been.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
It's so surprising because you look at their team on paper.
I think it's a top three team. Still, it's a
really good team. Yeah, and you look at the like
this is probably disrespectful to the Hurrican is it?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
The team not very good?
Speaker 5 (18:47):
It is a bit they've they've players in Samning because
they have been bad.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
They've put players in. Yeah, but they're talking about their
best team.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
The best team is definitely enough and Aaron Hardy Cooper,
Ashton Turner, Nick Hobson, Matthew Spores, Ashton Berendorf.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Morris, can I say, can I say a list of
Scorches players that are overrated this year?
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
No, list?
Speaker 3 (19:12):
We are with tap Dungeon, but I'm not ladder go
for it. So Lance Morris over like, why where's the
what the hype is here?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
He is here, He's actually been bowling really well.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
No, but he gets crap wickets. People just he's not
that good if you put him in any high form.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
He's thirteen wickets, but he hasn't third most of the camp.
But Tom his economy two games fewer seven point two,
which is the best on that list.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
He's there, but I think he's tobaccular. Tom Rodgers leads
the wicket taking and he's not a good Bowler like
acadom like almost. I think I'm just saying he's overrated.
They've got Ashton Turner's really really Yeah, he doesn't have
a face on Google.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Ashton Turner has Yeah, there you go. Ashton Turner hasn't
made like a big score. He's sorry, makes one big
score every season and everyone goes, oh, this guy is
just a great twenty twenty plays.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
It doesn't mean for about four years.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Then you've got Aaron Hardy has dropped off, but he's
been injured, so I'll let him off.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
And then they've got a lot of no names. So
this damn I should have looked at We should have
looked deeper into this team. Hang on, is this called Berendorf?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
No, I love.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
You know, I love ver Enough, I love Connolly, Hobson, Bred,
up and down, up and down. You've got I don't know.
I don't want to keep going on about it. But
when you look deep into this team, the depth isn't there.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Like it was in the past. Do you agree with
me that one? For you don't? I reckon hardly.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Ashton Turner has an average of thirty six and a
half this season.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
He did make a he made one big yeah, yeah,
and he has a couple of not outs.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I think, so, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
I just I probably was a bit harsh on the coaches,
but I'm on their team. I still think it's the
top three team, their best team. And you look at
the Hurricane team. They've got Charlie him and Jake Dorian batting.
How are they still getting the job done?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
It's crazy? How are they the best? Like, I don't know,
six is just going to run away and win it now.
They haven't been in the best of form, haven't they? No,
But they I still think on the actual team, they
have the best team.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
I think if if the top four stays away, it
is now with the Stars in it. I think the
Sixers have the best team on paper, and I actually
think the Stars have the second best team on paper.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Stars, you know they could you know who I'm going
to go from here because I love the Hurricanes. The
Hurricanes are doing what the Heat did last season, where
everyone goes the team's not that good. Well they are
because we said, yeah, we said like I said. I
think later in the season I ended up picking the Heat.
But most of the season everyone's like, oh, they'll drop eventually,
they're not that good.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
The Hurricanes are doing what the Heat did last year.
I reckon the Hurricanes worse than the Heat last year.
I reckon, yeah, Heat have a better last year's Heat.
It was like a lot better than the Hurricanes. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
On paper, Yeah, the Hurricanes are. They're clicking though, so
like credit to them. They're playing some brilliant cricket. And
when you've got the ability for Wade and David to
just come in at any sort of stage and take
the game away from another team, it's.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Good to watch. There's six and one from eight games,
and then one was when the Renegade's bowled them out
for seventy The first game of the year was that.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
It was that's when we thought that they're gonna be
that good, the Renegade's gonna be good. And then it's
just switched since then to the Hurricanes. The Sixers, and
the Thunder are all conferred for finals. What the Hurricanes
and Thunder, I don't think any of us picked for
the finals. You said they were going to be better
than we saw.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Yeah, I had the Thunders. I did have the eighth,
but then right before I put them six, I thought
they could be.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Got to step up. Their bowlers have really stepped up.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
I will say, though they are relying on Warner or
Constance may score, but it has actually been a bit
of a bit fraudulent. And then what about Tommy Andrews
comes in there, that's better than Jake Fraser Girks done.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yep, so he's He's on the list of the list.
That was a great little shore. I love that.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
And then so the Stars, the Heat, all the Strikers
for the last spot in the finals.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Who gets it?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Lads well, Heat and the Strikers have two games and
the Stars have.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
So tonight for the Stars, they need the Sixers to
beat the Strikers, which they should.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
The last two nights, the results have gone the way
of the Stars because the Scorches were eliminated and the
Renegades were elimined.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
In terms of exciting teams, because you take Maxie out,
the Stars are crap.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
I think the Strikers, out of all three of those teams,
have the most. Really, I think.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Because Stars are the top order can just explode. Like
the Strikers made the second best score ever their bowl.
They've got actually good decent bowling depths. So I want
as a fan the Strikers to make it.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
I know that they did take down the Heat bowling
in the last game they played, but the Heat bowlers
well to not like bounce back. When you've got Nissa
Barler John the bowl up front in the power and
at the death and then you've got Coonerman and Sweats
as well.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You know you got rench chalk and chipping for a
wrench has been great. Yeah, but like that's it.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I think that's the best bowling attack in the actually
maybe just behind the Sixers Sixers, but that's a pretty
good bowling. So that's why I'm believing in the Heat
a bit more than the Strikers or Stars.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I like who were going for that last spot. I'm
going to go I should lean towards the Heat because
I always think they just know how to win it,
win it.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
So I'm gonna go to Heat for the most leaning Heat,
then Stars, then Strikers, the Stars, not the Yeah, that's
pretty There's going to be no BBL final in Melbourne.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Though, never is Yeah, well there was what twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Run against one. It's gonna it's gonna be rough.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Imagine the home finals in Tasmania and j Stadium.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
That is a blockbuster. Yeah, true, we need the G.
Get it.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Just get the Grand the final of the g that'll
be nice, all right, BBR. We're actually going to do
quick fire tips because we went too long there on
the BB. I reckon Strikers versus the Sixers, Sixers, It's
got to be the Sixers, I reckon, But the Strikers game.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
It's so even this Chris Lynn, oh, I'm short, yeap,
he could make an he won't make a hundred? Smith?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, Steve Smith watched Can he do that again? Because
he made back to back hundreds a couple of years ago?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Can you well know James will James gone? Smith replaced him?
Really yeah, but James Vince's he's a great player.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And then the Heat versus the Hurricanes is gonna be
awesome match the reigning champs.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Ver's the number one team in the camp. Well, to
back up what I just said, I think I'm going
to go the Heat. Yeah, the Stars need the hurri
against the win, but I do think the Heat win.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna get Heat as well. I'm
still backing him to have a good.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Finish of the season.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
I just I will say that if sixes and Hurricanes
win the next two Nights and Stars and work finals.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Oh there you go. Don't mind that all right? Oh
I didn't even look up the super coach to wash.
Here we go. You all laughed at me. Well we're
not done. Geez what laughter? Where's the super coach? Who's laughing?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Now?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Hahaha's that again, Niel? I think.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Eight hundred and ninety three year project? Sorry you're projected
one eight six, one eighty six left.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
But I'm playing him, but you're playing him again? Yeah,
he had Mitchell and captain, Yeah, captain Mitchell. Otherwise I
would get it. I would have a pretty similar score,
Tim David captain instead of Michell.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Interesting Chris the game to come Bethel score one seven?
Oh yeah yeah, Bethel's good. Be all right? If I
really wish he wasn't. I can't believe you don't have
Chow during your team. I don't have Chowdre.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yeah you don't have me though.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
No, No, it was either here or Tim David. I
went to him. David get him both. Nah, all right,
that's enough. Super coach Chris Green get one hundred and
fifty four because he got three for three for four
down yeah, so I cooked up that one. Heddled by
that because you would have just traded him out. I
don't like him, but.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
No, I said, all right, I think I swear you
just maybe, I said no, I said, all right, I think.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
I can't. I actually don't know if I've a right
questions slash fan comments.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
But this show goes off the rails YouTube.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
But do you not want to go our super Coach schools?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I said, I said him, I said, I said, we're
in the nine hundreds of Super Coach and we talked.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
We talked enough about Big Bach.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I just want to get into the questions slash fan comments.
That's the that's the best part of the show.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Who wants to? Who put him in? Want? You can
read something if you want.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
So from YouTube Ahmed Adam three O three one loves
a comment. So we did comparisons with was Open Players
and Crickets.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Cricket Podcast were remember don't forget are we? I don't
know why you just hesitated that. Elise Perry compared to
Daisy Peers skill wise. Also he's going afl W at last. Perry,
Daisy Piers, Alisa Healy and Aaron Phillips. Entertainment wise, Yeah,
don't mind that. Meg Lanning and Jasmine Garment consistency wise,
(27:58):
that is very good by I don't about Aaron Phillips
is the goat, She's not the goat.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Talks better than Daisy Piers. Oh no, I like Daisy
Pierce's commentary. A coach, Yes, she'll be very she's a
gun coach for the West Coast Egles. But I really
like those comparisons. Lots of skillful players, they're very nice, ye.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Then we head over to Facebook. We go from the
red to the Blue? Were on Facebook followers was nearly
thirty cricket Are you around it? If you're not following,
what are you doing? Get them to become the YouTube?
Yeah too, Actually we don't on Facebook. Cricket Today show
on YouTube as well, So all.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Of these are about Jake and so On Facebook, Ronald
Harrison says he's overrated, gets caught regularly with no runs
to his name.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I'm glad he was not selected for Australia.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yeah that's Ronald Harrison. That's made up two first names.
We love our fans are I like his name? I
agree him and Josh Brown, especially in the Big Bash
for the Renegades. Then learn how to hit along the ground. Yep,
they could make thirty every game. They're that talented, like
thirty obviously pety like a fifty. They literally can get
(29:16):
the quickest start of any player probably in the whole
Big Bash, and they don't utilize their power. Their power
could just hit fours, like from the very start with
the new ball, and they just hit in the air
every time.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Has he cost the Renegades a BBR final sport? Maybe
part of Yeah, I agree, building a good platform. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
What I will say is that the Renegades would have
had a legacy season if they could hit along the ground.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, gone undefeated if they could hit along the ground.
I agree. I agree. Guess who they support? Boys? Who? Ohnega?
This guy tipping the stars every game? Yeah, well it's
working at the moment. What else have we got? Or
more on Jakes on Instagram Instagram our friend of the show.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
I see Jim bow mcgirky is off to the International
League T twenty next.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Feel bad for the Dubai Capitals. Surely makes run for
the bike. Maybe a bit less pressure I know was
the media on him, but.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
You knows won't be as good quality if.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
The bowlers had a brother watch money. There's like David
One usually plays in that. If the bowlers had a brain,
they just watch one Renegade game this season and be like, oh.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
This ball, And who's your team boys? In the International?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
I don't have a team yet. I need to play
on the Derby Night Riders Sunrisers in that way, who
I don't think? So what's the point? I love the
Vipers or I love a good Warriors. What's the table
so far? I'm going to pick a good team. Your
team is last surprise, I'm going the Desert Vibe. That's first. Yes,
(30:45):
the Vipers. What's the am I am? What's have you seen? Dodgeball? Yeah,
the Desert Vipers. That's what we do. And then on TikTok.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Yeah at t Underscore, why one thousand and forty five?
Easy about on those Indian decks that is.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
A part of two forty with fifty bound.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, but we've had some absolute roads I know, I
know Marvelism, we've had some roads in the Big Bash
outside of Marble.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yes, yeah, so he should have made some runs at
least once yep. And then from Marcus's burner account e
then with an ex Crouch says Michael Nica is better
than Jake Fraser. No arguments here, the goat. It's not
even a competition. You've got to own up though, and
said that you wrote that you can't hide.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
He held that Michael na has a cult following, and
it's good to see people are coming out of the
shadows to talk about the disrespect that it's featured on
this man.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Who's better J Richardson or Marcanach?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Paul J Richardson?
Speaker 4 (31:48):
I actually feel bad for him, Michael nice every day,
every single day.
