All right, that's twenty twenty five i PR season preview.
We're gonna go in alphabetic Lord, We're going to go
(02:37):
through the predicted eleven's and just the best players and
how they went last season and things like that. First one,
the Chennai Super Kings, the amount of just call.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Them the Kings. That's that's mine. There's already kings.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
But oh yeah, well what they're not. The Colcutta night
Riders are the kings of the ipoh jab.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I forgot about point. They made finals in twelve years,
so easy to forget.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Got Maxie.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Now they got Maxie and English.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Which will get him. Actually we're here to talk about Chennai.
Last season they finished fifth with a record of seven
and seven. There was about four teams that finished on
that record. I think it's going to be very similar this.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Year, Leo.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
There's gonna be a lot of teams just really in
that in that sort of middle area. Predicted eleven. Do
we want to go through the whole predictable?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
All right, who wants to go? He wants to read
out channel, we'll rotate. You can go with Channile. It
starts off.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Actually maybe we shouldn't because the pronunciations and he were
going to part of the show. Squad and Ravendro opening
would you call me nice?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Do they?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Hood? Sam Curran, dony day Ja Ashvind Nor Ahmad and
Pathy Rana.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I think this is.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
A solid team. You've got the Aussies, what we got
Nathan Alis So he's not in the predicted.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Eleven, but he'll play throughout the tournament. He should be
in this team.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
He should be in this team. In my opinion, I
don't really know much about pathy.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Rano is the slinger.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I think, oh yeah, but he's nothing else is better
than him and the death I reckon.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I like him.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
You've got obviously m Stoney is the only keeper in
this squad at age forty three. He's a nice and
warmed up because how is he still doing it at
forty three?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Actually, help load? Does his hair go?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Now? Do you think he's going long?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Who says their hair is low?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
He does fit like a like an old school Indian king,
like I could see it with like armor on.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Pretty much is a king probably has done that.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, yeah, we've got Ashwin. They're spinning options. This is
the best spinning team in the competition. I've wrote down here.
You've got Judasia as Ashwin and no armored. We're all
really classy with the ball pretty good and you need
spinners obviously in Indian conditions.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And and I thought you were going to say something
about someone else. Tweaker.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yeah, he hasn't been bowling much for New Zealand and
things like that, but he will bowl on the I
p L. And he obviously got the most runs in
the Champions Trophy, my man Rutching.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So I'm very excited.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I don't mind this team loads.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Let's talk about ratch baby. Oh my god, people, what
was that? What that was? I don't know either, I
just thought of it.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
That was outrageous. But yeah, this team will be.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Do you know what that's worth?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Anger is the best on.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Silk?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Oh my god? That was that was?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So what do we think about the they're gonna go, Well,
what do we.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Think that's should we get to it? At the predictions part,
we'll say that we'll save it.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
But yeah, okay, we can say but I think overall
they've got a pretty balanced squad. The fact that Nathan
Alice isn't in this break to eleven, I think that
shows their depths.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, so he's a really good part. I don't have
a bow. But that was two and a half minutes
and a half minutes. No worries.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
We'll get onto the next team, the Dally Capitals, which
isn't coached by Ricky Ponting anymore. He's coaching the Puna Kings.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Leo, it's not I think they're like poo poop. This
team is absolute poop.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
So last year they finished sixth seven seven. Do you
think they're going to be lower than six?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
They will not win a game, you know what I can.
There'll be two and some hed on this.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Quietly before read it out. I think they'll be semi
high up the ladder. Read out there eleven, then the
first guy there you can read it.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Okay, So the rooster himself, hopefully he thought that's good
that he did. Accidentally, I think I was just pronouncing
his name. Best player in the IPL Parrel Patel, Sorry,
pop ups just coming from my computer. Stubbs Sharma, Stark, Yeah,
(06:39):
Kumar Sharma another John who Yes, I tip to do
very well this season.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
There we go, which we'll get into the predictions. I
think the fact that Fraser McGirk is one of the
most out of form players in the world. He needs
to fire up or this team is cooked. Obviously, Carol,
you know you're gonna get He's a very solid player,
fat he's pretty solid. Leo's man. Batal can do a
bit of both, a bit of an all rounder. But
if Fraser McGirk doesn't make any runs, they're cooked. They
(07:05):
need I wouldn't say they're cooked, but there's definitely yeah,
a lot of aliance on me Master, Harry.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Brook pulled out.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yes, so Harry Brooks pulls out of the IPL for
the second straight year. There is calls for him to
be banned from the IPL because stuffs up the competition,
stuffs up the drat. Yeah, the draft, the auction, the
money in terms of that. So the fact that he's
pulled out twice is a bit of a way. And
I don't think it's to.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Do with an injury. It's to do with just playing
for England. He wants to be a loser.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, yeah, no, that's fair, but you can't keep don't
put yourself up in the auction. No, so they might
ban him, which it hurts Deli as well.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
He's a beast as well.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I would love to see him in the IPL.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You always talk up it does struggle with spin as
we found out in recent times.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
That's true. So what you be scared of the spin.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Conspiracy on Harry brook We go and then yeah they've
got an older team, You've got Stark. Obviously, we love
Mitchell Stark as another Rossie and there I think he's
gonna go.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Well, sure, a lot of Indians think Stark is up
there in like the best Australian cricketers of all time.
Well weird.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I think we had this discussion about a couple months ago.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
He is. We just don't I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
We don't talk talk him up enough. In terms of
all formats. Yeah, in terms of all formats, is stark
or comings stuck?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, all formats, That's.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Dark.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
But everyone just leans towards coming because he's the poster boys,
the captain. He's obviously better in tests, but not the
people that think he's woke. Yeah, do you think he's woke.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
He's a good guy, but he's by the way and
a half minutes, don't have a that's right.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
We can just say we're going to the next one.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So I don't want to hear the phone alarm.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
So should I clap when it hits? Maybe that will do?
That'll do?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Next one is good garrat Titans. I always love that name.
Last team Leo thinks is a team twenty twenty four.
They finished eighth with five and seven going in five
and seven. They've got some new batsman, They've got a
really strong bowling line up. I'm not as sold in
the batting line up, but Leo is.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Mate, I love this team. Why is that this might
be my second.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
They've got Josh Butler, Josh, that's not his name, Joss,
who brings down their aura and he's read out the
eleven all read out the eleven? Shouldn't girl? Josh Butler said,
hasan is that shut up?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
From cant might be?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, Washington, Glenn Phillips, Tawhia, Rashly, Cahn, Robarta, Kashow, Saraje
and Krishna. You've got Saraj Krishna, Rashily, card and Roberta.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
It's not when that's a bloody good team. It's not
winning the good bloke team. Butler who else? That's a
great bowling line and the batting is speaking to me?
Why is that they know what languages? I think there's
not enough guys that are going to be going at
two striking.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
You think Butler is good?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah? Maybe what was that?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I don't know if there's enough guys that are gonna
go a like big striker Phillips good, But.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Like Phillips is coming in what is up?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And he's not going to make that many fifties. He's
more like a thirty forty man.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I don't know, I feel like they do rely on their.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Top worter, shouldn't ge it was really I think he
got dropped in the i p L last season. He
may have because he was really poor.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And then Josh Butler, I don't know, he's been out
of form and I feel like there's a lot going
on in that man's mind. He just stepped down as
England captain in the ODI format.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I'm not a bit worried about him. But they're bowling
looks really really good. You've got Rashi Khan that.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Could keep games though. Yeah, that could keep them.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But I think batting is way more important than i PL.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
And we've seen in the i PL.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, you can make like three hundreds.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
You've got to make yeah in the IP Yeah, there's
a lot of I think there's question marks on that team.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But who's going to be their best player here? And
by the way, actually that brings.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Him down Rashik Khana.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, I think he needs to make I think the
last sort of few tournaments that's playing. He's always dominated
with the ball, but he needs to make a few
more runs batting just a little, just a little bit.
Get that helicopter and a few more sixers and then
they'll be right.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, all right, next one.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
You can read this one out, Marcus, because he's your team,
that Cacada Night Riders. Last season they were obviously first,
they won the title. They were nine and three, absolutely
dominated the record. Are they going to go back to back?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Of course yeah, probably most likely meet sun Rises in
the final again spoiler alert. But they still got this
very good team eleven, Quentin de Kock, Sooner, Ryan Rahana,
British Are Raging, Dre rass Raman Deep Seeing, Harshit Rana,
(11:33):
Norkia Aurora and Chava Jakrava track Ravati.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Trust me, I know him because he was very, very
good in the championship. This is a great bowling line up.
I like the the fact that the Ryan isn't open
now I said this last season.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
That is wild.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
But he was the best all rounder in the competition.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
He was so good hands around ten for total runs.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, and then he got a lot of wickets too.
He is clearly the best around. I reckon, you just
mentioned the track for the awesome For me, he was
did he lead? No, he didn't leave the wickets in
the championship, but.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
He was right up there. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I also thought he was a lot younger, but he's
sort of hitting his prime in his thirties. It's pretty weird.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
But because.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Older, yeah, that's wild, because he's I think he's killing
at the moment. He's in his prime.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
He finished nine wickets with an economy of four point
five in the.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Game.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
He only played three games as well, and he got
the second most wickets.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
But the thing I'm worried about is there's a lot
of older guys like Howard cox Is. Hey, yeah, then
you got the Ryan Andre Russell like he hasn't been
at his best, but then he killed it for the
general last season. I know how to play, yeah, short format,
and all of these guys are really experienced in the
i PR. So I think I think agent doesn't really
matter as much in short form, short format cricket.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Ye, that's true, it's true. What do you recommend this
the right?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Still? You know you're not sold?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I just don't. There were retirement homes, Yeah, retirement home.
It's gonna be my dad's actually playing. Where's he coming?
In Twelfth Man? Classic Malali fashion, that one.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
That score has coming to play for them as well.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
No, I played for yeah to get that one, because
I'm all, all right, that's enough for the cold cut
at night ride. As we could talk about them a lot.
We'll get into the luck Now super Giants. Last season
they finished in seventh. That's the fourth team I throd
out now that he's seven and seven last year, so
it was so close.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
H predicted eleven. You can go through this one. When
was the last time they won luck now? Yeah, you
could say they need some luck now. Oh jesus wow,
I thought you've been serious for a second. I was
I always They could have been anything.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
They could have been anything.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
You don't want to know what happens under luck now,
predicted eleven. Mitch Mark, but he's under an injury cloud. Oh,
what's a new Markham poor An poor on sorry, Kailer
Boni armored moist and Khan bish noy deep as khn't
and sit off.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
That's a good eleven. I like that eleven.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I well pronounced as well.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I tried my best. It probably wasn't.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I think it was good.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
At is not in the comments.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, it was good. I think they're batting one is
really good.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I'm not as familiar with some of their bowls, So
maybe that's why I'm not leaning towards this team.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
But no.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Good in the tests.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Actually, yes, that's very true.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Besh Khan's good. I think it's a bit expensive from memory.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, and I think if Midge Marsh can stay in
this team. They've also got Shamad Joseph on their list,
which who we love on this show. But he always
gets injured as well. Marsh and Joseph or anyone else
gets injured a little bit cooked. But if they can
stay fit.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I don't think Joseph should be in the team.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I don't know enough about their balls. Yeah, he probably
doesn't suit Indian positions either. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I think the thing with this team, I really like
the balance of like three, four and five in the
Mark and Poor and Miller, all imports, all like T
twenty spe That's exactly what I was going to say.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
That's very excited opening. You never know what he's going
to do.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, he's so exciting. If they can have Mitch Marsh, FID,
that's a bloody good batting lineup and they could go
pretty well.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Are luck now for them?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah? Oh my god, let's talent and let's get through
Luckdow because he's this is outrageous beause we're done now, yeah,
we're done. Yeah, all right, my Indians is the next team.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
In twenty twenty four, they finished ted lasts, putting them
to do well. Why did you up there?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
They had a really good team on paper, but apparently
not so our four and ten last year.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
She's right, the last person last was three in ten. Anyway,
that's right, four.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
And ten and finished in tenth.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
That's okay. They predicted eleven. I'll go through this one.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You've got row Head, Sharma, Ryan Rickleton, who we absolutely love,
Ricky Rickleton, Ricky Ricky Rickleton.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
We don't do that. I didn't do that, Ricky Rickleton.
We've got Varma, sky YadA of Jack's Jack.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I know him in a while.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Very good he was, He was really good.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
So that's a good pick up form Hardick, Pandia, Santa Shama, Jaha,
Bolt and Bomra but likely just mentioned is set to
miss the first few matches.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I just mentioned that.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I said it like that, but he said, to mister,
that's a big out. I said in my notes that
Boomra and Bolt, even though I said Bolt was washed.
That would be a really good bowling pair because they
just so experienced going to hit that spot every single time.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Bolt bowled really well in the previous p L series
as well.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
He was up there. You guys all said he was
finished and who was the other key? I think it
was the other one, I said more.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Both said O, yeah, that's what he wasn't even in
the definitely because Bolt's first cover of games was bad
and he was he's done and then he killed it
has been done for he keeps proving you clubs.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Run good on it because that was because we saw
him in the Big Bash, because he played for the Stars.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Yeah, and he was very poor then he wasn't He
was that guy who's your girlfriend? Famous Kighley, who's your favorite?
Came came Williams not trampbole No, but doesn't even know
that is rugby union? The old Bucks over more than
the cricket. Yeah, tragic, Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Williams is one of the best players ever.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You think.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Came Williamson is part of the Fab four?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah you forgot about him. He'll pass all of them.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Rickleton has been awesome for South Africa, so I'm very
excited that he's getting to go from Mumbai. He's been
really really good, shar you know what you get that
you know what you're going to get. That did not
come out very well and like you said, you well,
do you.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Know what you're going to get because he was poor
in the Test series, he was very good in the
Champions Trophy.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah, I was reckoning.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
He's more consistent in his home condition condition is going
to do well. There we go and that's the end
of the morn my Indians, apparently, there we go.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Next one up, which is torn Us to Shreds.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Before the show Punjab Kings twenty twenty four. They finished
in ninth at five and nine. I'll get I'll get
you to read this on O Marcus. So the predicted
eleven that Leo thinks is horrible, We don't think it's
too bad, which we'll.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Touch on later.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, well we've got quite a few things in here
opening the banning. We've got Josh English as well, Aya
Glenn Maxwell who also jumps it from our CB.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
And jump ship over as well. So there's a few
people run a lot of people. It's a destination destination club.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
It is.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I don't yeah what here Amzi sing Jansen Bra Bishak
Singh and Shahal to finish off the bowling.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
So in this squad there's a lot of Aussies as well.
You've got English, Maxwell, Stoyness, Hardy and Bartlet. I think
so obviously right now English and Maxwell in the predicted
eleven Do we think Stoying could be surely?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I think he could be in there, and he's pretty good.
He's also very well liked in India as well, Marcus
doin US.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yes, because it's a good look playing.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
In the IPL. So just pure marketing, please get him
in that team. I don't know if Bartlett or Hardy
will make it though.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I think Barlett might get a game or two because
I think but he's underrated. He could he could he
possible up in the IPLs. But and the other one
on them is I'm going to touch on that later.
They think they could make the playoffs, but I haven't
made the playoffs in the last eleven years, so they've
been down the bottom a lot. I think they've been
eight to tenth.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, my god.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
But the fact that they've got English, Straight and MAXI
all brought into this side like that is your three
your best bats. And they didn't have them last year,
so they should be a lot better, That's what I'm.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Will the cohesion be there batting together? They haven't batted
together Max?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Could that be has been good for India, I'm pretty
sure as well. Yeah, I think it'll be pretty good.
The bowling isn't as good.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Charles a solid bowl.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Like Yanson can bowl as well. Yeah, this team just
looks a little bit all over the place though, what
do you mean? In my opinion, it's just.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It's it just doesn't really as much depth.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
It's pretty good. There we go, all right, last couple here, obviously,
last couple.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
They're still lots to go. Rajas Royals is the next team.
Last season I really solid, finished in third. They lost
in the second playoff in twenty twenty four. Predicted eleven.
I can go through this one. You've got a really
good batting lineup. I believe you've got Ja as well,
Jarrell Sampson, Rana paragu Hepmeyer, Hassarranger, Josh Racher, sing Thik,
Shana Pande and Sharma as well.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
And there's an alarm.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
That was the quickest two and a half minutes.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
It's like I was in the bedroom olm like go there,
we go, there, we go.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
The I think their top order is pretty good, but
the fact that they don't have an international player a
lot of reds and articles. They're a bit worried.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Their top five are all Indians. They're very good, yes,
so I don't mind them, but a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I'd take most of those Indian batsman over het Myra
Sick to be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
That's true. Parague was third in the runs last year.
Sandrew Sampson I think was sixth. And yeah, Jason, they've
all gott.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I really liked that opening opening partnership.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
And does he have a very cool as well?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
You could almost apply it to which one I forgot?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Which one ja as well? He doesn't have got.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
He's been out one of our talking within the whole summer,
and you forget because this is our host.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
By the way, his instagram is Liam underscore mccalli and
send him some I.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Don't even think there's a understand well, well another alarm
that by the way, Yeah, mine's not that either, that's right,
uh yeah right down here. They've got no Indian spin off.
I think that's a worry in India. You want someone
with the home conditions, that.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Conditions, he is good.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
But I think of a lot of the israel anking correct,
I just don't want to get that wrong. I think
he hasn't played in the but there's lot of sho
ankors that have been inexperienced in this tournament in i PL,
so I might have been like a squad player possibly.
So I'm just a little bit worried that. And if
Josh Archi can stay fit, that'll be good. They'll be
like sorry, they'll be semi all right. But Josh Archerds
(22:07):
never stayed for a whole tournament or a whole competition or.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Anything, right, and players in the field the entire time,
because English players do have a oh yeah, have a
theme of leaving throughout the tournament. They do, they do.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
So I'm a little bit worried about their depth. But
their top order batting looks bloody good.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah on that one, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
And I feel like a lot of Indians will like
this team just because there's so many strong Indian batsments
all right, true, well you're fire up now, you've hardly
even spoken, but we'll giving.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I don't really want to see B see B see B.
I'm going to storm around the office doing that.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Chance Royal Challenges Bangalore twenty twenty four, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
That was solid, finished in fourth. Remember they made the run.
We were last made the run. Yeah, oh yeah, that's right.
None of you believed in it. Yeah, and you believed
it and now you lost in the first playoff. Yeah,
that's all right. They did really well.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Something dodgy going on there, predicted eleven let predicted eleven
Ni my wornds there, Coli salt part captaining over that's controversial.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
My boy, my boy play for Australia.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
He's not your boy because he's not your boy because
we had the offer to go have drinks with him
to Neil.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
On Christmas.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
And you turned it down. So he's not really a boy.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Is he?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I saw him after That's fine, okay.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I don't even like this living Stone at five Sharma six, Criminal,
Panja Stop Nil Singha, Kuma, Hazelwood and dayl that's a
shocking bowling.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I was going to sway that carrying that that bowling ladder. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I love also good that Livingstone. I think he put
out a big bast recently, did he. I think he
missed a lot of the I p O last year
as well. I'm pretty sure because I dropped possibly, but
he was injured a lot. So good to see that
he in the CID because I think he could have
a good year and Bethel that's a that's a good pickup.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
But you're right the bowling Tim David.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Very probably between him and Bethel, i'd say, because I
don't think you take out hazel Wood or Salt or
Living who's their spinner as well, So Bethel Living sinker
bowl spin I think a criminal Panda.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Oh yeah, and I think correct me if I'm wrong,
swap mill sing bowls.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
But like, they don't have any big name spinners. They
don't have a front, which which is a bit of
a worry in Indian conditions.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You can, I just say, just wonder watch quickly, do
you Sharma? Okay? I just read a little bit. See
how he goes like and he's a very explosive b
he is he young?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I have no idea, but he played well. I think
it was at Punjab last year, maybe thirty one. But
he's in formed.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Apparently according to a few people, he'll be one of
our better players. Yep, I like that, But you're not
you don't have high hopes, which will touch on later.
No good, What else was going to say? Oh yeah,
I think the the batting one up, they won't have
to rely.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
On Coolie as much.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
But he was unrealized.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
He was unbelievable and he I think he made seven
hundred months more than ever.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I do like him and Patty more like the anchors.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
And then you've got the explosive bricks there to just
like the Englishman what they do best and will be
interesting to see how Bestill goes young guy his first
But that's all right, all right, let's get to the
real The best team in the competition.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
The sun Arise as Hyder Badge twenty twenty four finished second,
obviously runners up. So the best team in the competition
will be this season to predicted eleven. This is a
tasty looking eleven if I've ever seen one. You've got, Travis,
said Abby shek Shama. Who would I think the best
opening pair last season? They made that record, scored twice
three hundred a couple of times, got Kishan Klassen.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
We want to wet already.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I think that is the best top five in the competition.
What do you think's is it. I think you're smoking something.
I don't think it's the best. It's pretty damn good.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
It is good good that I'll give.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I'd give you an argument for the best opening.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Period with you if you say pretty good, like pretty good. No,
I'm not. I'm not going out fair enough.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
We've got men manoah, We've got man there, manoah, Paddy Cummins,
what do you call it?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Let me let me cook, Chaha and Shabby wrapping.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
It up there, Travis said, Pat comments are.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
In the team.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Zampa.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
They're they're saying, might be not in the team to
start with because they're going towards Chaha. But I don't know,
I'd lean.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Towards Zampa's Chaha. We read about Chaha for the Mumbai Indians.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
That wasn't that Chahal?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
No, that was I just look at one cat.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, okay, I just think this team much really good. Yeah,
what are you looking up? Pa Jaha is one of them.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yes, so apparently they're going to start with him as
the spinning option over Zampa, which is interesting.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Oh, it's funny, it's funny. I've just read what Statsky's
wroten here, he said, head and Shama is still one
of the best opening duros in the competition, but still
lack batting depth. But you said they had the best.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Top I'm saying after that, I'll be honest.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I think last season we only finished second because our
openers and that our top four made so many runs.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Is coming in at seven, I think I think that's
a bit too early.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I do like pack Cummins, and he's actually finished the
game a few times for the Sunrise and a few
other teams, but he shouldn't be seventh. I think we
need like another all rounded option before him. Yes, but
other than that, I think the top five is and
who would you go xample or leaning towards example, because
I think he's got more expen the big tournament.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Take out an international, Yeah, isn't that what the outlets
are saying because they've got mulderin who is South African.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
That's true, he can bat.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Yeah, so you take him out for zam Zamba is
clearly a better player, but it messes with the batting.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I was about to say that the game it is,
so he's not as good of a batter than some
of the other guys and things like that.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
So yeah, I think he will stay out of the team,
but they might bring him in. You need Zam. But
he's good, good experience, and he's just he's a good man.
All right. That is all.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
The team's broken down. I can't believe we've done that
one for the rest of no need time. So don't
thank you very much for that, Leo. Let's get into
the tournament predictions.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
We've gone through.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Every single team is eleven.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
So should we just go like ten to one?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yes, yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
That's that's a very good idea.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
So we're going to go through the standings.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
This is our table.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
There's only so many big arguments here. Who are going tenth? Leo,
Dei Daly, We've.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
All gone someone different. Yeah, I can't believe you're that's
this is criminal.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I don't like the demon like the team.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Well, I've got the Kings.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
No, they're all right, they've got English.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
They haven't made the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
For crazy, So we'll get into it. But you've got
Dally High, you've got Punjab High and all about it.
We all have rugs down pretty and we've all got
I'm gonna make it a little change, all right.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Who have you got lost?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I've got a Rajstan. I just don't think there's a
lot of depth there. What did I I'm trying to
see what notes I put for them. No Indian spinner.
I think that's that's a big loss because you need
it from an Indian spinner in this tournament. I believe,
or at least a guy that's experiencing IPL So I'm
a bit worried about that.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Ninth. I will keep going around jab.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I don't think that's a bit stiff. But that's okay.
I've gone the register rules ye, and I've gone Deli.
I'm gonna agree with on lea more the more I
looked into it. I believe what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
I hope someone makes like a TikTok ated of like
me putting Deli tenth and then when they.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Come to me boys, when you're all wrong and Dahli
are higher?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Alright, eighth? Wait did you guys? Did you guys say
I've put Bangalore on my beloved Bangalore at eighth?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
So have you?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I again like the I don't like the bowling. The
batting is really good. But yeah, there's a few an
inexperienced guys, including Bethel. You don't know what you're gonna
get and then the bowling just drops off there Hazelo right,
the main guy, he's only main guy, and he's all right,
but he gets smacked around. Yeah, I've gone the lucknow
super Giants. Oh that's a top four, very exciting. I
(30:22):
don't know if they have just enough with the ball.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Okay, and then again they're very good or miss majority
of those batters in that so force Yeah, alright, seventh
you can start off okay, seventh R C B.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
That's the high anyone's got.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Yeah, just push them? Will they make another run?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
They could make another run like im in a flat
mood to that, but they could be good negative. I
can only hope Leo, who've got seventh? You originally had
him intent.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I did, But the top five has come into me.
The Indian that's what they call him them.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, I've gone luck now. I sort of agree with Marcus.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I just I don't agree.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I think the top six are clearly the best teams.
I think that could interchange.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I don't think it's at all to me.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I know so much about IPL Let's go six, so
you two actually have the same one.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
There we go, Mumbai.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yes, I've got good rat. I just don't see the hype.
Leos got a very different prediction. Prediction for good rat.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
What did I right?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yeah, I just think they're explosively if guys that can
make tons of strike, right, they don't have enough of them,
and a few guys that are out of form. So
I'm going good Rat in six.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
What is this?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
What is this crime? Fifth?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, that is very low. We got in fifth.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
That is one thing.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
This is going to be their wrong year into abyss wrong.
They all go past it because the retire they need
to be playing the early games. Because if they're playing.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
At don't you worry about us? But they will have
the big in their system, the big b.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Fifth, Fifth, I've gone en.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah, I've got Mumbai. I had them up a bit higher.
But just again, I think this top four is really good. Leo.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Fourth, they know how to get done. They've got any
spinners as well.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yes, that's why I've got them up a bit higher.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Fourth.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
So this is actually for the playoffs, by the way.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
For the top four.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Good Drat just sneaking in there.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yep, I've got pun Up. I know that is outrageous,
but their batting lineup looks really good. I think you've
got English Max. Who else have they got I'm trying
to Maxie and I'm missing someone else that they brought
it straight? Who is in amazing for him? He was
great last season, so they know there we go. But
I'm putting them in fourth third. Who have we got
Leo luck now? Really we have them in our in
(32:53):
our playoffs.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
I just like their batting lineup. It's balanced. The bowling
does enough for me. It's speaking to me. They're going
to finished.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Third the most outraged even and seven the eighth and
he's gone thir This could be the most outrageous one
because Leon had dely at ninth and tenth.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Who's third for you?
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Well, you just said it.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Makes you say why they're.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Just they're exciting. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I have believe that they didn't do well obviously under
under Ricky Ponning. But that batting one up is exciting though.
That's the thing you've got. Who's just a It's just
a gun.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I love, don't you dare put He's one of the
he's one of the he's one of the gun.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
He's a gun. Yeah, he's one of the best your
players of all time.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Don't you dare put another person in this list like
in this list.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
He's he's washed.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
And then boys and I think I think washed.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I think bowling as well, like they got Stark and
it is well, I'm a little bit worried about.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Just trying to just watch Boys think they think they
will make the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
No, I don't know about that. Third for me is Chen.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
As Lair mentioned, they've got the best spinning attack in
the competition. You've got experience, but then you've got a
bit of use. I think they're very, very all round team.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Top two.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Now here we go top two and then I want
you guys to pick who's gonna win it all. So
number two we'll go Leo Fest.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Thank you good hosting.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
There.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
We've got the same, You've.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Got the same Hyderabad. There's really good batting line up.
They're going to be higher and good.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
That is so bad. I want to leave. What do
want to do it? I've got KKR.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I was chopping and changing my one and two. They've
just they've got the experience they won last season. They
I think they're even better than lie up this season.
So okay, number two number one lads, you.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Guys have all gone.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
We've all gone someone different.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Which is good. I'll start of hydro bad sunrises. I
think the sunrise is going to be really, really good.
The batting lineup is awesome. We've all got them in
our top two. I was gonna say, is that just
blind loyalty? Well it's not, because everyone's got to be
in their top two and so I must be. It
must be normal stuff, mate. I don't think they're going
to win the whole thing, not not just being biased, genuinely.
Their lineup would have won it. Last year was very close.
(35:07):
So I think they're going to go and do it
do one better this season.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Interesting gone, KKR, you're back.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
They got back because you're taking these two have picked
their own teams to win it.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I'm providing the level head.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Who did you predict to win it last year?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
I said, changed you guys plan for next year?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
But I did learn. I did learn because we won.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
And now you're going to finish the fifth and they're
all going to retire all of the whole team.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
You got our first layer.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Currently be one team. The good you're at Titans will
win the twenty twenty five season. We have got the
have I got sixth Marcus has got them four them
in so they could win, if they could win. But
I don't know about first Why is that?
Speaker 4 (35:52):
What was it?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
What is it? I love it? You great analogy girl,
just but lasted Arson. That's good batting lineup. So there
I like a bit of Washington. Yeah, yeah, Phillips, Glenn Phillips.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
He's been grateful misses about him. He's been Yeah, she
can't Saraj Krishna.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
The bowling is good.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
It is good.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
It is good. It is Do they have enough draft? Mate?
They got plenty of the bat don't Alright, he's pretty
confident over there. All right, that's our standings that we
will look at.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I'm going to keep that in the run sheet, so
we'll look at it at the end of the season
and see how how wrong we all got it.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
We went very wrong, so I'm expecting the same that happened.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yeah, I think there was a we flipped the table
on a few of our predictions last season. But that's
all right. Let's get into the most runs and the
most wickets.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Will start with you, Marcus.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Who's gonna Who's gonna have the most runs this season?
Last season was actually Koli. She talked about before sixty
one average seven hundred and forty one runs, five fifties
and one hundred. That was incredible last season. Who's gonna
be the most.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Of this season?
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Well, only the best player in history, Carol.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
That is just not true. In the comments, he is good.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
I'll see if I can find where once you guys
talk about, see where I put him in top i
PR players three. It was very it was very high.
I just think he's an excellent player.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
He is.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
But coming off the back of facing some of the
best bowls in the world in the championship, yeah, he
just he always knows. He's very consistent in the I
p L as well. So ye powerble for me, Leo.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Who's gonna make the most runs?
Speaker 2 (37:28):
The man?
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Oh sure, a bit of a redemption for him, I reckon.
I just think good are going to win and he'll
be the main part of it. So up the up,
the gill, up the girl.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Like a little thing, the girl or something little fish.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
I don't even know how to do that.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Let's go. I'm gonna go most runs.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Travis Head.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
I think, as I mentioned, Sunrise is gonna win it all.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Travis just predicted Travis Head all summer.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Well, he did pretty well.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
He's gonna have the most runs.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
He's gonna make a couple of hundreds.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
He's going to be dominating in the opening spot for
the sunrises and as I did last year, breaking lots
of records. So he's going to be the most runs,
most wickets now. Ashapateel was the most weekets last season.
He had twenty four wickets in fourteen matches at an
average of nineteen. I had a look at a lot
of the averages. Not good look because of all the
runs that were made last season. Yeah, you're not relying
too much on your bowlers in this stype of tournament.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
The Lord Savage was Jasper Bromme think who was up
the wicked that he's sixteen.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Which isn't it's not a bad appalt, but like, there
wasn't any amazing averages. I think because there were so
many runs. We'll start with you this time later. Most wickets, well,
just for.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Those playing along at home. I had whose stats guys
about to say, but he came in and was like,
I really want to pick I could pick someone else,
and you really need to picking.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I really need to so I.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Changed my answer and I've gone rush he can't because
he is. You said that was the first player you
thought of, anyway.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
I say that was another player I thought of. Okay, fine,
because I'm a gracious person and let you have your player.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
He was happy to change talk about he's he's got
the legs, he's got the pace, got the action.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
He's twenty twenty all year round.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Now, he's absolutely twenty.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
He knows what to do specialists.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
I think this guy is one of the most informed
spinners in the world. Chap for Rathi.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
He was also in the Champions troph to take him
from him. He's a beast.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
I thought he was a lot younger, as I mentioned before.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
But he's killing it and he did very well. He
did very well in the Ipeld last season as well.
He did second, Yes, in the wickets.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Didn't it was like fifth or something second, like he
had a team and no, no, he finished second wickets.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
So I think he's gonna do one better this season
and he's going to get the most wickets. What do you,
Marcus only on for the sunder, not for the sunrise,
sorry Delhi.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Yep or I think he bowled a lot of overs.
He was one of only two or three balls to
bowl more than fifty overs in the IPIL last season.
Uh and he took nineteen wickets to go to go
along with it. So if I think Deli are going
to do well this season, I think he will play
a partner.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah, good call, good call. All right, that's our predictions.
We've done all I pr The IPL season preview is done.
Now let's get into the questions and fan comments. As
a rollercoaster some of these comments, but that's all right.
We'll started with YouTube with Andrew t.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
He's absolutely loving it.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
He said, glad to have earned, Glad to have earned
stats Guy's Cricket Today Certificate of Ball Knowledge. He knew
he's stuff.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
You know what's coming from you?
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Though, Well, you agree with me.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
We'll give Andrew.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
He knows what he's doing, he said. I'll call in
and provide the North Americans perspective on cricket. Usually have
provided many hours of entertainment, and I'd be happy to
return the favor. We we got a video call is
Andrew entertainment, See how Canada Cricket's going in the US
and all that. Actually we could have a little Major
League Cricket chat with him. Possibly he's probably too that.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
See I was the one got for MLC chat and
you're going no, no, no, it's a bit dead.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
But like we're not you know what I mean? Do
you still want to do a bit of MR We'll see. Yeah,
Oh my god, let's get this show going. Our next
comedy is SARAHM. Prasan At seven thousand, two hundred. Uh.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Smith played a great innings in his last od I match.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Australia scored highest amongst all four teams against India due
to Smith. So that was when we're talking about retiring.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Not to Smith. Yeah was sarcastic, No, it was been serious.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
From what I've read to the comments, I'm pretty sure
he was saying that, yes, Smith really was there.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Smith.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Smith wants to read that that out of you tech
and all reviews. He says, de Smith lost all the
respect the day he was caught cheating and he came
out and admitted it. Good few Smith's were retiring anywhere
else in the world. He wouldn't be allowed to play again,
but Australia is known for supporting cheaters.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Wouldn't be allowed to play again, and yet so many
very interesting cheating.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
There's a lot of cheatings in almost every country.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
You should read Monty Panasar's book. True he admitted to
using men on the ball?
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (41:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (41:55):
So did he get banned? He did?
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Didn't the India the India eighteen before the main Test series.
Uh tamper with the ball as well and didn't get
And it was.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
One of these ones just sweeping under under.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Guys would tamp with the ball in our.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
Local cricket absolutely, absolutely, absolutely what I reckon? Not really no, no,
I'll use the ball when it's new.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
So oh, there we go on screen on the arms,
I'm not a big.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
I'll do sweat.
Speaker 1 (42:31):

All right, that's twenty twenty five i PR season preview.
We're gonna go in alphabetic Lord, We're going to go
(02:37):
through the predicted eleven's and just the best players and
how they went last season and things like that. First one,
the Chennai Super Kings, the amount of just call.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Them the Kings. That's that's mine. There's already kings.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
But oh yeah, well what they're not. The Colcutta night
Riders are the kings of the ipoh jab.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I forgot about point. They made finals in twelve years,
so easy to forget.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Got Maxie.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Now they got Maxie and English.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Which will get him. Actually we're here to talk about Chennai.
Last season they finished fifth with a record of seven
and seven. There was about four teams that finished on
that record. I think it's going to be very similar this.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Year, Leo.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
There's gonna be a lot of teams just really in
that in that sort of middle area. Predicted eleven. Do
we want to go through the whole predictable?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
All right, who wants to go? He wants to read
out channel, we'll rotate. You can go with Channile. It
starts off.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Actually maybe we shouldn't because the pronunciations and he were
going to part of the show. Squad and Ravendro opening
would you call me nice?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Do they?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Hood? Sam Curran, dony day Ja Ashvind Nor Ahmad and
Pathy Rana.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I think this is.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
A solid team. You've got the Aussies, what we got
Nathan Alis So he's not in the predicted.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Eleven, but he'll play throughout the tournament. He should be
in this team.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
He should be in this team. In my opinion, I
don't really know much about pathy.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Rano is the slinger.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I think, oh yeah, but he's nothing else is better
than him and the death I reckon.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I like him.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
You've got obviously m Stoney is the only keeper in
this squad at age forty three. He's a nice and
warmed up because how is he still doing it at
forty three?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Actually, help load? Does his hair go?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Now? Do you think he's going long?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Who says their hair is low?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
He does fit like a like an old school Indian king,
like I could see it with like armor on.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Pretty much is a king probably has done that.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, yeah, we've got Ashwin. They're spinning options. This is
the best spinning team in the competition. I've wrote down here.
You've got Judasia as Ashwin and no armored. We're all
really classy with the ball pretty good and you need
spinners obviously in Indian conditions.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And and I thought you were going to say something
about someone else. Tweaker.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yeah, he hasn't been bowling much for New Zealand and
things like that, but he will bowl on the I
p L. And he obviously got the most runs in
the Champions Trophy, my man Rutching.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So I'm very excited.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I don't mind this team loads.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Let's talk about ratch baby. Oh my god, people, what
was that? What that was? I don't know either, I
just thought of it.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
That was outrageous. But yeah, this team will be.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Do you know what that's worth?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Anger is the best on.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Silk?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Oh my god? That was that was?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So what do we think about the they're gonna go, Well,
what do we.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Think that's should we get to it? At the predictions part,
we'll say that we'll save it.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
But yeah, okay, we can say but I think overall
they've got a pretty balanced squad. The fact that Nathan
Alice isn't in this break to eleven, I think that
shows their depths.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, so he's a really good part. I don't have
a bow. But that was two and a half minutes
and a half minutes. No worries.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
We'll get onto the next team, the Dally Capitals, which
isn't coached by Ricky Ponting anymore. He's coaching the Puna Kings.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Leo, it's not I think they're like poo poop. This
team is absolute poop.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
So last year they finished sixth seven seven. Do you
think they're going to be lower than six?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
They will not win a game, you know what I can.
There'll be two and some hed on this.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Quietly before read it out. I think they'll be semi
high up the ladder. Read out there eleven, then the
first guy there you can read it.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Okay, So the rooster himself, hopefully he thought that's good
that he did. Accidentally, I think I was just pronouncing
his name. Best player in the IPL Parrel Patel, Sorry,
pop ups just coming from my computer. Stubbs Sharma, Stark, Yeah,
(06:39):
Kumar Sharma another John who Yes, I tip to do
very well this season.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
There we go, which we'll get into the predictions. I
think the fact that Fraser McGirk is one of the
most out of form players in the world. He needs
to fire up or this team is cooked. Obviously, Carol,
you know you're gonna get He's a very solid player,
fat he's pretty solid. Leo's man. Batal can do a
bit of both, a bit of an all rounder. But
if Fraser McGirk doesn't make any runs, they're cooked. They
(07:05):
need I wouldn't say they're cooked, but there's definitely yeah,
a lot of aliance on me Master, Harry.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Brook pulled out.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yes, so Harry Brooks pulls out of the IPL for
the second straight year. There is calls for him to
be banned from the IPL because stuffs up the competition,
stuffs up the drat. Yeah, the draft, the auction, the
money in terms of that. So the fact that he's
pulled out twice is a bit of a way. And
I don't think it's to.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Do with an injury. It's to do with just playing
for England. He wants to be a loser.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, yeah, no, that's fair, but you can't keep don't
put yourself up in the auction. No, so they might
ban him, which it hurts Deli as well.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
He's a beast as well.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I would love to see him in the IPL.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You always talk up it does struggle with spin as
we found out in recent times.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
That's true. So what you be scared of the spin.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Conspiracy on Harry brook We go and then yeah they've
got an older team, You've got Stark. Obviously, we love
Mitchell Stark as another Rossie and there I think he's
gonna go.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Well, sure, a lot of Indians think Stark is up
there in like the best Australian cricketers of all time.
Well weird.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I think we had this discussion about a couple months ago.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
He is. We just don't I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
We don't talk talk him up enough. In terms of
all formats. Yeah, in terms of all formats, is stark
or comings stuck?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, all formats, That's.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Dark.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
But everyone just leans towards coming because he's the poster boys,
the captain. He's obviously better in tests, but not the
people that think he's woke. Yeah, do you think he's woke.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
He's a good guy, but he's by the way and
a half minutes, don't have a that's right.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
We can just say we're going to the next one.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So I don't want to hear the phone alarm.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
So should I clap when it hits? Maybe that will do?
That'll do?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Next one is good garrat Titans. I always love that name.
Last team Leo thinks is a team twenty twenty four.
They finished eighth with five and seven going in five
and seven. They've got some new batsman, They've got a
really strong bowling line up. I'm not as sold in
the batting line up, but Leo is.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Mate, I love this team. Why is that this might
be my second.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
They've got Josh Butler, Josh, that's not his name, Joss,
who brings down their aura and he's read out the
eleven all read out the eleven? Shouldn't girl? Josh Butler said,
hasan is that shut up?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
From cant might be?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, Washington, Glenn Phillips, Tawhia, Rashly, Cahn, Robarta, Kashow, Saraje
and Krishna. You've got Saraj Krishna, Rashily, card and Roberta.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
It's not when that's a bloody good team. It's not
winning the good bloke team. Butler who else? That's a
great bowling line and the batting is speaking to me?
Why is that they know what languages? I think there's
not enough guys that are going to be going at
two striking.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
You think Butler is good?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah? Maybe what was that?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I don't know if there's enough guys that are gonna
go a like big striker Phillips good, But.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Like Phillips is coming in what is up?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And he's not going to make that many fifties. He's
more like a thirty forty man.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I don't know, I feel like they do rely on their.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Top worter, shouldn't ge it was really I think he
got dropped in the i p L last season. He
may have because he was really poor.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And then Josh Butler, I don't know, he's been out
of form and I feel like there's a lot going
on in that man's mind. He just stepped down as
England captain in the ODI format.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I'm not a bit worried about him. But they're bowling
looks really really good. You've got Rashi Khan that.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Could keep games though. Yeah, that could keep them.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But I think batting is way more important than i PL.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
And we've seen in the i PL.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, you can make like three hundreds.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
You've got to make yeah in the IP Yeah, there's
a lot of I think there's question marks on that team.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But who's going to be their best player here? And
by the way, actually that brings.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Him down Rashik Khana.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, I think he needs to make I think the
last sort of few tournaments that's playing. He's always dominated
with the ball, but he needs to make a few
more runs batting just a little, just a little bit.
Get that helicopter and a few more sixers and then
they'll be right.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, all right, next one.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
You can read this one out, Marcus, because he's your team,
that Cacada Night Riders. Last season they were obviously first,
they won the title. They were nine and three, absolutely
dominated the record. Are they going to go back to back?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Of course yeah, probably most likely meet sun Rises in
the final again spoiler alert. But they still got this
very good team eleven, Quentin de Kock, Sooner, Ryan Rahana,
British Are Raging, Dre rass Raman Deep Seeing, Harshit Rana,
(11:33):
Norkia Aurora and Chava Jakrava track Ravati.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Trust me, I know him because he was very, very
good in the championship. This is a great bowling line up.
I like the the fact that the Ryan isn't open
now I said this last season.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
That is wild.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
But he was the best all rounder in the competition.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
He was so good hands around ten for total runs.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, and then he got a lot of wickets too.
He is clearly the best around. I reckon, you just
mentioned the track for the awesome For me, he was
did he lead? No, he didn't leave the wickets in
the championship, but.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
He was right up there. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I also thought he was a lot younger, but he's
sort of hitting his prime in his thirties. It's pretty weird.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
But because.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Older, yeah, that's wild, because he's I think he's killing
at the moment. He's in his prime.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
He finished nine wickets with an economy of four point
five in the.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Game.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
He only played three games as well, and he got
the second most wickets.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
But the thing I'm worried about is there's a lot
of older guys like Howard cox Is. Hey, yeah, then
you got the Ryan Andre Russell like he hasn't been
at his best, but then he killed it for the
general last season. I know how to play, yeah, short format,
and all of these guys are really experienced in the
i PR. So I think I think agent doesn't really
matter as much in short form, short format cricket.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Ye, that's true, it's true. What do you recommend this
the right?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Still? You know you're not sold?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I just don't. There were retirement homes, Yeah, retirement home.
It's gonna be my dad's actually playing. Where's he coming?
In Twelfth Man? Classic Malali fashion, that one.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
That score has coming to play for them as well.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
No, I played for yeah to get that one, because
I'm all, all right, that's enough for the cold cut
at night ride. As we could talk about them a lot.
We'll get into the luck Now super Giants. Last season
they finished in seventh. That's the fourth team I throd
out now that he's seven and seven last year, so
it was so close.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
H predicted eleven. You can go through this one. When
was the last time they won luck now? Yeah, you
could say they need some luck now. Oh jesus wow,
I thought you've been serious for a second. I was
I always They could have been anything.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
They could have been anything.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
You don't want to know what happens under luck now,
predicted eleven. Mitch Mark, but he's under an injury cloud. Oh,
what's a new Markham poor An poor on sorry, Kailer
Boni armored moist and Khan bish noy deep as khn't
and sit off.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
That's a good eleven. I like that eleven.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I well pronounced as well.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I tried my best. It probably wasn't.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I think it was good.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
At is not in the comments.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, it was good. I think they're batting one is
really good.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I'm not as familiar with some of their bowls, So
maybe that's why I'm not leaning towards this team.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
But no.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Good in the tests.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Actually, yes, that's very true.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Besh Khan's good. I think it's a bit expensive from memory.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, and I think if Midge Marsh can stay in
this team. They've also got Shamad Joseph on their list,
which who we love on this show. But he always
gets injured as well. Marsh and Joseph or anyone else
gets injured a little bit cooked. But if they can
stay fit.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I don't think Joseph should be in the team.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I don't know enough about their balls. Yeah, he probably
doesn't suit Indian positions either. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I think the thing with this team, I really like
the balance of like three, four and five in the
Mark and Poor and Miller, all imports, all like T
twenty spe That's exactly what I was going to say.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
That's very excited opening. You never know what he's going
to do.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, he's so exciting. If they can have Mitch Marsh, FID,
that's a bloody good batting lineup and they could go
pretty well.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Are luck now for them?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah? Oh my god, let's talent and let's get through
Luckdow because he's this is outrageous beause we're done now, yeah,
we're done. Yeah, all right, my Indians is the next team.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
In twenty twenty four, they finished ted lasts, putting them
to do well. Why did you up there?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
They had a really good team on paper, but apparently
not so our four and ten last year.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
She's right, the last person last was three in ten. Anyway,
that's right, four.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
And ten and finished in tenth.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
That's okay. They predicted eleven. I'll go through this one.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You've got row Head, Sharma, Ryan Rickleton, who we absolutely love,
Ricky Rickleton, Ricky Ricky Rickleton.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
We don't do that. I didn't do that, Ricky Rickleton.
We've got Varma, sky YadA of Jack's Jack.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I know him in a while.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Very good he was, He was really good.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
So that's a good pick up form Hardick, Pandia, Santa Shama, Jaha,
Bolt and Bomra but likely just mentioned is set to
miss the first few matches.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I just mentioned that.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I said it like that, but he said, to mister,
that's a big out. I said in my notes that
Boomra and Bolt, even though I said Bolt was washed.
That would be a really good bowling pair because they
just so experienced going to hit that spot every single time.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Bolt bowled really well in the previous p L series
as well.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
He was up there. You guys all said he was
finished and who was the other key? I think it
was the other one, I said more.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Both said O, yeah, that's what he wasn't even in
the definitely because Bolt's first cover of games was bad
and he was he's done and then he killed it
has been done for he keeps proving you clubs.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Run good on it because that was because we saw
him in the Big Bash, because he played for the Stars.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Yeah, and he was very poor then he wasn't He
was that guy who's your girlfriend? Famous Kighley, who's your favorite?
Came came Williams not trampbole No, but doesn't even know
that is rugby union? The old Bucks over more than
the cricket. Yeah, tragic, Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Williams is one of the best players ever.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You think.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Came Williamson is part of the Fab four?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah you forgot about him. He'll pass all of them.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Rickleton has been awesome for South Africa, so I'm very
excited that he's getting to go from Mumbai. He's been
really really good, shar you know what you get that
you know what you're going to get. That did not
come out very well and like you said, you well,
do you.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Know what you're going to get because he was poor
in the Test series, he was very good in the
Champions Trophy.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah, I was reckoning.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
He's more consistent in his home condition condition is going
to do well. There we go and that's the end
of the morn my Indians, apparently, there we go.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Next one up, which is torn Us to Shreds.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Before the show Punjab Kings twenty twenty four. They finished
in ninth at five and nine. I'll get I'll get
you to read this on O Marcus. So the predicted
eleven that Leo thinks is horrible, We don't think it's
too bad, which we'll.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Touch on later.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, well we've got quite a few things in here
opening the banning. We've got Josh English as well, Aya
Glenn Maxwell who also jumps it from our CB.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
And jump ship over as well. So there's a few
people run a lot of people. It's a destination destination club.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
It is.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I don't yeah what here Amzi sing Jansen Bra Bishak
Singh and Shahal to finish off the bowling.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
So in this squad there's a lot of Aussies as well.
You've got English, Maxwell, Stoyness, Hardy and Bartlet. I think
so obviously right now English and Maxwell in the predicted
eleven Do we think Stoying could be surely?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I think he could be in there, and he's pretty good.
He's also very well liked in India as well, Marcus
doin US.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yes, because it's a good look playing.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
In the IPL. So just pure marketing, please get him
in that team. I don't know if Bartlett or Hardy
will make it though.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I think Barlett might get a game or two because
I think but he's underrated. He could he could he
possible up in the IPLs. But and the other one
on them is I'm going to touch on that later.
They think they could make the playoffs, but I haven't
made the playoffs in the last eleven years, so they've
been down the bottom a lot. I think they've been
eight to tenth.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, my god.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
But the fact that they've got English, Straight and MAXI
all brought into this side like that is your three
your best bats. And they didn't have them last year,
so they should be a lot better, That's what I'm.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Will the cohesion be there batting together? They haven't batted
together Max?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Could that be has been good for India, I'm pretty
sure as well. Yeah, I think it'll be pretty good.
The bowling isn't as good.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Charles a solid bowl.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Like Yanson can bowl as well. Yeah, this team just
looks a little bit all over the place though, what
do you mean? In my opinion, it's just.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It's it just doesn't really as much depth.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
It's pretty good. There we go, all right, last couple here, obviously,
last couple.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
They're still lots to go. Rajas Royals is the next team.
Last season I really solid, finished in third. They lost
in the second playoff in twenty twenty four. Predicted eleven.
I can go through this one. You've got a really
good batting lineup. I believe you've got Ja as well,
Jarrell Sampson, Rana paragu Hepmeyer, Hassarranger, Josh Racher, sing Thik,
Shana Pande and Sharma as well.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
And there's an alarm.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
That was the quickest two and a half minutes.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
It's like I was in the bedroom olm like go there,
we go, there, we go.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
The I think their top order is pretty good, but
the fact that they don't have an international player a
lot of reds and articles. They're a bit worried.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Their top five are all Indians. They're very good, yes,
so I don't mind them, but a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I'd take most of those Indian batsman over het Myra
Sick to be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
That's true. Parague was third in the runs last year.
Sandrew Sampson I think was sixth. And yeah, Jason, they've
all gott.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I really liked that opening opening partnership.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
And does he have a very cool as well?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
You could almost apply it to which one I forgot?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Which one ja as well? He doesn't have got.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
He's been out one of our talking within the whole summer,
and you forget because this is our host.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
By the way, his instagram is Liam underscore mccalli and
send him some I.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Don't even think there's a understand well, well another alarm
that by the way, Yeah, mine's not that either, that's right,
uh yeah right down here. They've got no Indian spin off.
I think that's a worry in India. You want someone
with the home conditions, that.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Conditions, he is good.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
But I think of a lot of the israel anking correct,
I just don't want to get that wrong. I think
he hasn't played in the but there's lot of sho
ankors that have been inexperienced in this tournament in i PL,
so I might have been like a squad player possibly.
So I'm just a little bit worried that. And if
Josh Archi can stay fit, that'll be good. They'll be
like sorry, they'll be semi all right. But Josh Archerds
(22:07):
never stayed for a whole tournament or a whole competition or.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Anything, right, and players in the field the entire time,
because English players do have a oh yeah, have a
theme of leaving throughout the tournament. They do, they do.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
So I'm a little bit worried about their depth. But
their top order batting looks bloody good.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah on that one, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
And I feel like a lot of Indians will like
this team just because there's so many strong Indian batsments
all right, true, well you're fire up now, you've hardly
even spoken, but we'll giving.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I don't really want to see B see B see B.
I'm going to storm around the office doing that.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Chance Royal Challenges Bangalore twenty twenty four, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
That was solid, finished in fourth. Remember they made the run.
We were last made the run. Yeah, oh yeah, that's right.
None of you believed in it. Yeah, and you believed
it and now you lost in the first playoff. Yeah,
that's all right. They did really well.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Something dodgy going on there, predicted eleven let predicted eleven
Ni my wornds there, Coli salt part captaining over that's controversial.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
My boy, my boy play for Australia.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
He's not your boy because he's not your boy because
we had the offer to go have drinks with him
to Neil.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
On Christmas.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
And you turned it down. So he's not really a boy.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Is he?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I saw him after That's fine, okay.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I don't even like this living Stone at five Sharma six, Criminal,
Panja Stop Nil Singha, Kuma, Hazelwood and dayl that's a
shocking bowling.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I was going to sway that carrying that that bowling ladder. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I love also good that Livingstone. I think he put
out a big bast recently, did he. I think he
missed a lot of the I p O last year
as well. I'm pretty sure because I dropped possibly, but
he was injured a lot. So good to see that
he in the CID because I think he could have
a good year and Bethel that's a that's a good pickup.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
But you're right the bowling Tim David.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Very probably between him and Bethel, i'd say, because I
don't think you take out hazel Wood or Salt or
Living who's their spinner as well, So Bethel Living sinker
bowl spin I think a criminal Panda.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Oh yeah, and I think correct me if I'm wrong,
swap mill sing bowls.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
But like, they don't have any big name spinners. They
don't have a front, which which is a bit of
a worry in Indian conditions.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You can, I just say, just wonder watch quickly, do
you Sharma? Okay? I just read a little bit. See
how he goes like and he's a very explosive b
he is he young?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I have no idea, but he played well. I think
it was at Punjab last year, maybe thirty one. But
he's in formed.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Apparently according to a few people, he'll be one of
our better players. Yep, I like that, But you're not
you don't have high hopes, which will touch on later.
No good, What else was going to say? Oh yeah,
I think the the batting one up, they won't have
to rely.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
On Coolie as much.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
But he was unrealized.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
He was unbelievable and he I think he made seven
hundred months more than ever.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I do like him and Patty more like the anchors.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
And then you've got the explosive bricks there to just
like the Englishman what they do best and will be
interesting to see how Bestill goes young guy his first
But that's all right, all right, let's get to the
real The best team in the competition.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
The sun Arise as Hyder Badge twenty twenty four finished second,
obviously runners up. So the best team in the competition
will be this season to predicted eleven. This is a
tasty looking eleven if I've ever seen one. You've got, Travis,
said Abby shek Shama. Who would I think the best
opening pair last season? They made that record, scored twice
three hundred a couple of times, got Kishan Klassen.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
We want to wet already.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I think that is the best top five in the competition.
What do you think's is it. I think you're smoking something.
I don't think it's the best. It's pretty damn good.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
It is good good that I'll give.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I'd give you an argument for the best opening.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Period with you if you say pretty good, like pretty good. No,
I'm not. I'm not going out fair enough.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
We've got men manoah, We've got man there, manoah, Paddy Cummins,
what do you call it?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Let me let me cook, Chaha and Shabby wrapping.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
It up there, Travis said, Pat comments are.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
In the team.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Zampa.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
They're they're saying, might be not in the team to
start with because they're going towards Chaha. But I don't know,
I'd lean.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Towards Zampa's Chaha. We read about Chaha for the Mumbai Indians.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
That wasn't that Chahal?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
No, that was I just look at one cat.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, okay, I just think this team much really good. Yeah,
what are you looking up? Pa Jaha is one of them.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yes, so apparently they're going to start with him as
the spinning option over Zampa, which is interesting.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Oh, it's funny, it's funny. I've just read what Statsky's
wroten here, he said, head and Shama is still one
of the best opening duros in the competition, but still
lack batting depth. But you said they had the best.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Top I'm saying after that, I'll be honest.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I think last season we only finished second because our
openers and that our top four made so many runs.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Is coming in at seven, I think I think that's
a bit too early.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I do like pack Cummins, and he's actually finished the
game a few times for the Sunrise and a few
other teams, but he shouldn't be seventh. I think we
need like another all rounded option before him. Yes, but
other than that, I think the top five is and
who would you go xample or leaning towards example, because
I think he's got more expen the big tournament.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Take out an international, Yeah, isn't that what the outlets
are saying because they've got mulderin who is South African.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
That's true, he can bat.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Yeah, so you take him out for zam Zamba is
clearly a better player, but it messes with the batting.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I was about to say that the game it is,
so he's not as good of a batter than some
of the other guys and things like that.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
So yeah, I think he will stay out of the team,
but they might bring him in. You need Zam. But
he's good, good experience, and he's just he's a good man.
All right. That is all.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
The team's broken down. I can't believe we've done that
one for the rest of no need time. So don't
thank you very much for that, Leo. Let's get into
the tournament predictions.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
We've gone through.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Every single team is eleven.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
So should we just go like ten to one?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yes, yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
That's that's a very good idea.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
So we're going to go through the standings.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
This is our table.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
There's only so many big arguments here. Who are going tenth? Leo,
Dei Daly, We've.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
All gone someone different. Yeah, I can't believe you're that's
this is criminal.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I don't like the demon like the team.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Well, I've got the Kings.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
No, they're all right, they've got English.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
They haven't made the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
For crazy, So we'll get into it. But you've got
Dally High, you've got Punjab High and all about it.
We all have rugs down pretty and we've all got
I'm gonna make it a little change, all right.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Who have you got lost?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I've got a Rajstan. I just don't think there's a
lot of depth there. What did I I'm trying to
see what notes I put for them. No Indian spinner.
I think that's that's a big loss because you need
it from an Indian spinner in this tournament. I believe,
or at least a guy that's experiencing IPL So I'm
a bit worried about that.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Ninth. I will keep going around jab.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I don't think that's a bit stiff. But that's okay.
I've gone the register rules ye, and I've gone Deli.
I'm gonna agree with on lea more the more I
looked into it. I believe what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
I hope someone makes like a TikTok ated of like
me putting Deli tenth and then when they.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Come to me boys, when you're all wrong and Dahli
are higher?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Alright, eighth? Wait did you guys? Did you guys say
I've put Bangalore on my beloved Bangalore at eighth?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
So have you?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I again like the I don't like the bowling. The
batting is really good. But yeah, there's a few an
inexperienced guys, including Bethel. You don't know what you're gonna
get and then the bowling just drops off there Hazelo right,
the main guy, he's only main guy, and he's all right,
but he gets smacked around. Yeah, I've gone the lucknow
super Giants. Oh that's a top four, very exciting. I
(30:22):
don't know if they have just enough with the ball.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Okay, and then again they're very good or miss majority
of those batters in that so force Yeah, alright, seventh
you can start off okay, seventh R C B.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
That's the high anyone's got.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Yeah, just push them? Will they make another run?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
They could make another run like im in a flat
mood to that, but they could be good negative. I
can only hope Leo, who've got seventh? You originally had
him intent.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I did, But the top five has come into me.
The Indian that's what they call him them.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, I've gone luck now. I sort of agree with Marcus.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I just I don't agree.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I think the top six are clearly the best teams.
I think that could interchange.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I don't think it's at all to me.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I know so much about IPL Let's go six, so
you two actually have the same one.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
There we go, Mumbai.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yes, I've got good rat. I just don't see the hype.
Leos got a very different prediction. Prediction for good rat.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
What did I right?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yeah, I just think they're explosively if guys that can
make tons of strike, right, they don't have enough of them,
and a few guys that are out of form. So
I'm going good Rat in six.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
What is this?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
What is this crime? Fifth?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, that is very low. We got in fifth.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
That is one thing.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
This is going to be their wrong year into abyss wrong.
They all go past it because the retire they need
to be playing the early games. Because if they're playing.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
At don't you worry about us? But they will have
the big in their system, the big b.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Fifth, Fifth, I've gone en.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah, I've got Mumbai. I had them up a bit higher.
But just again, I think this top four is really good. Leo.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Fourth, they know how to get done. They've got any
spinners as well.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yes, that's why I've got them up a bit higher.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Fourth.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
So this is actually for the playoffs, by the way.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
For the top four.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Good Drat just sneaking in there.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yep, I've got pun Up. I know that is outrageous,
but their batting lineup looks really good. I think you've
got English Max. Who else have they got I'm trying
to Maxie and I'm missing someone else that they brought
it straight? Who is in amazing for him? He was
great last season, so they know there we go. But
I'm putting them in fourth third. Who have we got
Leo luck now? Really we have them in our in
(32:53):
our playoffs.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
I just like their batting lineup. It's balanced. The bowling
does enough for me. It's speaking to me. They're going
to finished.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Third the most outraged even and seven the eighth and
he's gone thir This could be the most outrageous one
because Leon had dely at ninth and tenth.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Who's third for you?
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Well, you just said it.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Makes you say why they're.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Just they're exciting. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I have believe that they didn't do well obviously under
under Ricky Ponning. But that batting one up is exciting though.
That's the thing you've got. Who's just a It's just
a gun.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I love, don't you dare put He's one of the
he's one of the he's one of the gun.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
He's a gun. Yeah, he's one of the best your
players of all time.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Don't you dare put another person in this list like
in this list.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
He's he's washed.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
And then boys and I think I think washed.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I think bowling as well, like they got Stark and
it is well, I'm a little bit worried about.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Just trying to just watch Boys think they think they
will make the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
No, I don't know about that. Third for me is Chen.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
As Lair mentioned, they've got the best spinning attack in
the competition. You've got experience, but then you've got a
bit of use. I think they're very, very all round team.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Top two.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Now here we go top two and then I want
you guys to pick who's gonna win it all. So
number two we'll go Leo Fest.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Thank you good hosting.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
There.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
We've got the same, You've.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Got the same Hyderabad. There's really good batting line up.
They're going to be higher and good.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
That is so bad. I want to leave. What do
want to do it? I've got KKR.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I was chopping and changing my one and two. They've
just they've got the experience they won last season. They
I think they're even better than lie up this season.
So okay, number two number one lads, you.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Guys have all gone.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
We've all gone someone different.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Which is good. I'll start of hydro bad sunrises. I
think the sunrise is going to be really, really good.
The batting lineup is awesome. We've all got them in
our top two. I was gonna say, is that just
blind loyalty? Well it's not, because everyone's got to be
in their top two and so I must be. It
must be normal stuff, mate. I don't think they're going
to win the whole thing, not not just being biased, genuinely.
Their lineup would have won it. Last year was very close.
(35:07):
So I think they're going to go and do it
do one better this season.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Interesting gone, KKR, you're back.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
They got back because you're taking these two have picked
their own teams to win it.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I'm providing the level head.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Who did you predict to win it last year?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
I said, changed you guys plan for next year?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
But I did learn. I did learn because we won.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
And now you're going to finish the fifth and they're
all going to retire all of the whole team.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
You got our first layer.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Currently be one team. The good you're at Titans will
win the twenty twenty five season. We have got the
have I got sixth Marcus has got them four them
in so they could win, if they could win. But
I don't know about first Why is that?
Speaker 4 (35:52):
What was it?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
What is it? I love it? You great analogy girl,
just but lasted Arson. That's good batting lineup. So there
I like a bit of Washington. Yeah, yeah, Phillips, Glenn Phillips.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
He's been grateful misses about him. He's been Yeah, she
can't Saraj Krishna.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
The bowling is good.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
It is good.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
It is good. It is Do they have enough draft? Mate?
They got plenty of the bat don't Alright, he's pretty
confident over there. All right, that's our standings that we
will look at.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I'm going to keep that in the run sheet, so
we'll look at it at the end of the season
and see how how wrong we all got it.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
We went very wrong, so I'm expecting the same that happened.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yeah, I think there was a we flipped the table
on a few of our predictions last season. But that's
all right. Let's get into the most runs and the
most wickets.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Will start with you, Marcus.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Who's gonna Who's gonna have the most runs this season?
Last season was actually Koli. She talked about before sixty
one average seven hundred and forty one runs, five fifties
and one hundred. That was incredible last season. Who's gonna
be the most.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Of this season?
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Well, only the best player in history, Carol.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
That is just not true. In the comments, he is good.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
I'll see if I can find where once you guys
talk about, see where I put him in top i
PR players three. It was very it was very high.
I just think he's an excellent player.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
He is.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
But coming off the back of facing some of the
best bowls in the world in the championship, yeah, he
just he always knows. He's very consistent in the I
p L as well. So ye powerble for me, Leo.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Who's gonna make the most runs?
Speaker 2 (37:28):
The man?
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Oh sure, a bit of a redemption for him, I reckon.
I just think good are going to win and he'll
be the main part of it. So up the up,
the gill, up the girl.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Like a little thing, the girl or something little fish.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
I don't even know how to do that.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Let's go. I'm gonna go most runs.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Travis Head.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
I think, as I mentioned, Sunrise is gonna win it all.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Travis just predicted Travis Head all summer.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Well, he did pretty well.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
He's gonna have the most runs.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
He's gonna make a couple of hundreds.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
He's going to be dominating in the opening spot for
the sunrises and as I did last year, breaking lots
of records. So he's going to be the most runs,
most wickets now. Ashapateel was the most weekets last season.
He had twenty four wickets in fourteen matches at an
average of nineteen. I had a look at a lot
of the averages. Not good look because of all the
runs that were made last season. Yeah, you're not relying
too much on your bowlers in this stype of tournament.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
The Lord Savage was Jasper Bromme think who was up
the wicked that he's sixteen.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Which isn't it's not a bad appalt, but like, there
wasn't any amazing averages. I think because there were so
many runs. We'll start with you this time later. Most wickets, well,
just for.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Those playing along at home. I had whose stats guys
about to say, but he came in and was like,
I really want to pick I could pick someone else,
and you really need to picking.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I really need to so I.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Changed my answer and I've gone rush he can't because
he is. You said that was the first player you
thought of, anyway.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
I say that was another player I thought of. Okay, fine,
because I'm a gracious person and let you have your player.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
He was happy to change talk about he's he's got
the legs, he's got the pace, got the action.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
He's twenty twenty all year round.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Now, he's absolutely twenty.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
He knows what to do specialists.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
I think this guy is one of the most informed
spinners in the world. Chap for Rathi.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
He was also in the Champions troph to take him
from him. He's a beast.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
I thought he was a lot younger, as I mentioned before.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
But he's killing it and he did very well. He
did very well in the Ipeld last season as well.
He did second, Yes, in the wickets.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Didn't it was like fifth or something second, like he
had a team and no, no, he finished second wickets.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
So I think he's gonna do one better this season
and he's going to get the most wickets. What do you,
Marcus only on for the sunder, not for the sunrise,
sorry Delhi.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Yep or I think he bowled a lot of overs.
He was one of only two or three balls to
bowl more than fifty overs in the IPIL last season.
Uh and he took nineteen wickets to go to go
along with it. So if I think Deli are going
to do well this season, I think he will play
a partner.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah, good call, good call. All right, that's our predictions.
We've done all I pr The IPL season preview is done.
Now let's get into the questions and fan comments. As
a rollercoaster some of these comments, but that's all right.
We'll started with YouTube with Andrew t.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
He's absolutely loving it.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
He said, glad to have earned, Glad to have earned
stats Guy's Cricket Today Certificate of Ball Knowledge. He knew
he's stuff.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
You know what's coming from you?
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Though, Well, you agree with me.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
We'll give Andrew.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
He knows what he's doing, he said. I'll call in
and provide the North Americans perspective on cricket. Usually have
provided many hours of entertainment, and I'd be happy to
return the favor. We we got a video call is
Andrew entertainment, See how Canada Cricket's going in the US
and all that. Actually we could have a little Major
League Cricket chat with him. Possibly he's probably too that.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
See I was the one got for MLC chat and
you're going no, no, no, it's a bit dead.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
But like we're not you know what I mean? Do
you still want to do a bit of MR We'll see. Yeah,
Oh my god, let's get this show going. Our next
comedy is SARAHM. Prasan At seven thousand, two hundred. Uh.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Smith played a great innings in his last od I match.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Australia scored highest amongst all four teams against India due
to Smith. So that was when we're talking about retiring.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Not to Smith. Yeah was sarcastic, No, it was been serious.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
From what I've read to the comments, I'm pretty sure
he was saying that, yes, Smith really was there.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Smith.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Smith wants to read that that out of you tech
and all reviews. He says, de Smith lost all the
respect the day he was caught cheating and he came
out and admitted it. Good few Smith's were retiring anywhere
else in the world. He wouldn't be allowed to play again,
but Australia is known for supporting cheaters.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Wouldn't be allowed to play again, and yet so many
very interesting cheating.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
There's a lot of cheatings in almost every country.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
You should read Monty Panasar's book. True he admitted to
using men on the ball?
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (41:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (41:55):
So did he get banned? He did?
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Didn't the India the India eighteen before the main Test series.
Uh tamper with the ball as well and didn't get
And it was.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
One of these ones just sweeping under under.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Guys would tamp with the ball in our.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
Local cricket absolutely, absolutely, absolutely what I reckon? Not really no, no,
I'll use the ball when it's new.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
So oh, there we go on screen on the arms,
I'm not a big.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
I'll do sweat.
Speaker 1 (42:31):

shine to respect that. I respect that you don't have
a big head. Yeah nice, all right. That starts with
