in the men's and the women's obviously the men you've
got the Allen Border Medal, Yes, well deserved, travel ball
(02:52):
very well.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
No arguments from this side of the circle table.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, more in the circle man, What you're talking about
besides Dad?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You haven't told me?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah said?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I really could have just got off for that beautiful mustad.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
It was it was only going to be Travis said,
or Pat Cummins wasn't it, but I guess Treviors said
across all three formats was.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, he got Player of the Year as well, so
that probably helped him towards the Alan board.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It's so interesting You've got like two between Cummons and Head.
You've got two very good looking men, but just different
in different ways.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Travis said, is the Dad Bard. They're like, yeah, let's.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I'm talking about this. He looks exactly like David Boone
back in the day when he was ban with the
Baggy Brain and that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
But yeah, he does exact and then Cummins is Zeke
Clark Kent of the Pretty War. Don't use that word.
We're getting canceled.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
There is Clark and Bob. David Boone just poured it
out for Alan. Just two ends of the good looking spectrum, right, yeah,
I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It's just something for all of the people out there
that are interested in that. She used to have a
mustache right here.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, we just beautiful in other ways the other spectrum,
right yeah, what's what's the bottom of the bottom of
the bottom of the spectrum as it is A yeah,
I'm not going to say I was going to say
on the spectrum, Travis said, well deserved also mustache as well.
But then the Clark Award in the Women's talked about
her on Monday with Marcus and about Sutherlands. She's an
absolute supers Di said, she's going to be probably the
(04:28):
best around her in the world and just one of
the best players in the world. She's proven that already
at twenty three years old winning the Best Women's Aussie Player.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Did the Ashes include in that award? I don't think
that would be for next year.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, she's going to win it again next year, probably
because she dominated one sixty.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Was all sane, Yeah, I thought, say, yeah, of course insane.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, yeah, she's an absolute star. The Sunland family just o.
I know will sudden that as a bit to work
up to with Annabel.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
But backyard cricket.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Very competitive, so I hate to be then first match.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Now we've got to let Marcus talk more. Sorry, I'll
shut up.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
What do you want to say? What do you want
to say?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Right? I want to say, Josh Hazwold is the go.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Else.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yes, I literally put the Test player of the in
here just for you because you love Josh Hazel would
well deserved. Yes, well deserved.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
He took thirty wickets at.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Average is thirteen.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Good.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
That is good reading, right there. Yeah, I agree with that.
It's like thirty wickets thirty thirty.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, did two five wicked hauls as well.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, he missed a couple of matches.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, the amount of game, because usually when you get
awards like that, you get around forty plus wicked. Say
to look, but he's average, Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Thirteen speak and he basically he basically missed the whole
Boardy's Trophy series.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
So good, you've got the boat to that. Comments is
a little bit stiff not to get any major awards.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, because he's good. He's a good man, he's not
man and and he dominates. Doesn't need any more awards
though you win everything. Perfect people need perfect things.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, okay, next one that we want to talk about,
as that page calls him sexy Sammy Constance Bradman Young
Player of the Year. He absolutely dominated in Sheffield Shield.
Then he dominated for the Sydney Thunder. Then he just
tore it up for at least a match. Did he
dominate for the Sydney he played looked two good. Yeah,
it was pretty good. Yeah, anyway, I don't think the
(06:21):
Thunder goes at that far towards that. It is more
Sheffield Chield And then he got a sixty for Australia.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
That actually, yeah, the Thunder got stiffed by Australia taking
Sam cons Sri Lanka.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Having him available for the finals.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, and then he does.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Do you think that's going to stop Mussolin though? That
is very true, That's very true.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
But yeah, Bradman Young Player of the Year, then we've
got We talked about the Big Bash all year, so
I might as well put that one in there. BBL
Player of the Year annoyingly was a tight I want
one one player, but Connolly and Maxima. Where is Mitch Owen?
Is he?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Is he a bit stiff?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I'm I thought Connolly was up there, so I'm happy
with that. Maxwell obviously dominated the second half of this
is the very way type perhaps, yes, but it obviously
goes towards votes and fro throughout the season.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
So yeah, Connolly and Maxwell drew that one with Tom Toms.
Yeah for the start when you got your way.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Tom Clark on the show was looking down the barrel
of the camera and said that Tom Roger had a
really good year and he said, yeah, stuff. I don't
know if you've seen.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That, but he wouldn't say that to me.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
He pretty much said that, Yeah, say to him in person. Yeah,
we're happy with that that they shared it and his
stiff Maybe finals, don't go into that. It's a vote lewisness. Yeah,
so probably was just regular season.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
See I would my heart, says Connelly. But MAXI like
pushed his team into final. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Out of those two, and I love Cooper Connelly had
a more consistent season.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I think just love his surfer vibe. Yeah vibe. The
last one I want to touch on. At the Cricket Awards,
it was just weird. Just a lot of it was weird.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
The men's Aussie Test team, which is probably the pinnacle
of the women's pinnacle, was there, but the men's pinnacle,
the team wasn't even there.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
They were inch Lanca.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
They knew that Australia was going, so like probably years ago,
probably at least two years ago.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You don't think, yeah, maybe they're scared. They would they
would have talked about it anyway, they don't.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
They could have scheduled this next week or a couple
of weeks away, like would be playing next week anyway,
scheduled the night, the fact that Travis Head is getting
an award in his training top from was it.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Like zoomed in they have they do the Brownlow.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
For like a little bit.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
That's imagine basically every single club at the Brownlow.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, not there, Yeah, it just it just felt weird.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
And then obviously all the women's players and that was
great and they got to go on stage and do
speeches and stuff. But then, like Travis said, didn't even
really want to do a speech.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
That was just it was really classic Trap, classic Trassic.
It wasn't on him. Just the fact that it was scheduled.
I think that's really dumb. It's like local clubs having an.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Award to night and all your players are on like
boys holidays and they yeah and they yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
While on the piss. It just happened to you, Is
that way you're saying it? Award. He was the only
one that went andord mate.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
To say, one of my good mate ship Sethi is
leading that leaderboard. Oh you know, I made josh one that.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Three years ago.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
So I know a guy, this American guy, My old
Goby won the Duck Award three years in a row.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It was we had a pond just to be pond
on the wall and you could put.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Your ducks on there. I was in there a few times.
But no good, no good, all right, that's enough for
these good one.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, thanks mate. That was water on the wall.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Suspicious something suspicious about that. That's magic.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Don't wry about that.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Next to the quick single, Rashi Khan becomes the all
time T twenty cricket leading wicket taker.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
What the hell?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
He's only twenty six six and he passes DJ Bravo?
Do you want to sing DJ Bravo song?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Still together? Bravo? J Cham young only can's passed it?
Championing I can't. We were just saying that.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I just thought of that off the top man ah
Russia Khan Yeah, becomes the old time T twenty wicket taker.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
How about is the only twenty six? He's at least.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Forty six hundred and thirty wickes. By the way, he's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Twelve, you're twelve, yep. I think we're just lying about
our ages.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Can we get an.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Actual coffee of rash head carp So he's been playing
since of rash sheet.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I meant to say he's meertifically. I would love a
copy of rashet k and Australia have him. Example, he's
a freak. How the hell is the only twenty six?
He's been playing since twenty fifteen? It's said on what's
it called? So that's freaking sixteen.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
He has been cricking fo six, Yes, playing since sixteen,
which is not that big of a surprise sixteen. If
you're really good, it's so. But that is ridiculous. He
looks a bit. I don't know, have I been harsh?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
No?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I agree, like there's something sus going on, some sus
sussy sussy, but awesome effort to be He pretty much
has played T twenty cricket other than when he gets
injured every week of the year.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
He must if he's getting sorent thirty wickets already, let's
thirty one.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Okay, let's just say this is true.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
He's twenty six years old. It's 'm playing for ten years.
He could play until least forty because he's a leg spinner. Like,
they don't play that much Test cricket.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, he's good. Sixty thousand weeks. You could play for
twenty four years, he could get fifteen hundred wickets.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Nuts, he's basically taking like sixty three twenty twenty wickets
a year. Yeah, he doesn't make a lot of competence,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
So he's probably taking at least ten to fifteen wickets
per torn tornament, which is.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
The leading yeah or yeah average for him, Yeah, which
is that's unbelievable. So he's long.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I was gonna say he's long devit already because he's
Aladyn paying ten years, his kids getting wikes.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
But he's only twenty six talking. He's younger than me.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
We're just talked about We've just talked about dj Ravo. Yes,
did you guys see Chris Gail's Instagram post. No, he's
are doing in Australia in front of the Signe House
both back and he said, he said, don't blush in
the cab ah, you already got cancer for that.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
He's doing it again. No, he's done it again, isn't he?
That's a I can describe it. This has definitely been
the longest critic is the quick.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Fire Anyway, we had the fun things to talk about
last one in the quick single that will roll straight
into Shrilanka West Australia.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
This should be in the big question. I was just
putting it in there just to roll it. Should we
just roll into the big question? Just let me say it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Sam Constance, he's been sent home, like you said, he's
been banished from shri Lanka. He's playing set to play
in the Sheffield Shield.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Brad had it.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I didn't know Brad had and that had that much
movement in the Aussie setup because he just said he
should be saying. Get sent him a week later. So
that rolls straight into the Stralankast Australia big questions.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What do we think about that?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Should Sammy Constace have been sent home?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I think no way.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
He already knows what he's doing in the Sheffield Shield.
He's going to play good cricket either way, even if
he's not picked. I don't know he's going to be
around the Aussie setup.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
What do we think?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I need more time to think about it. Marcus, you
you got about thirty s. It's a joke. Yes, it's
a joe.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
You either don't bring him into the Shrilinker Tescod in
the first place, yep, or you keep him there the
whole time, exactly, don't don't pigeonhole where you go?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yes, maybe no, let's send him home now, none of
that not needed.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
You argue against that, and I no, I agree, I
already said I agree. I've got to come up with
the argument.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
No.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
They we're not a debate. I'm just trying to figure
out my train of thought of play Devil's Advocate.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Devil. They send him home.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yesterday, right, yeah, yesterday, slash today on a boat.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
If the test starts tomorrow, yep, it will go for
three four days, hopefully go to five. How many Shoeld
games is he going to play in that time? Probably one, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
So he's gone home to play one Shield game, yeah,
which is like completely different conditions, and that doesn't really
help his crisis. I don't think it's gonna be called
the ode I scord, isn't he Oh, there's a Devil's Advocate.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I don't know where I sit, But just to play
Devil's Advocate, then you're wrong.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
He's getting in game practice is like like he's spent
time in Sri Lanka.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Even if.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
First ball duck in the in the shield and he
comes on playing place one ball when he could be
getting international experience.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
What if the best player.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
If they're not going to play him, then send him
on And I don't think.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
But they're still obviously get him practicing in the national
conditions even thought.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Stark bowling, I agree the best bowlers winners, but he
literally did that. They have no more training now they
send him home. Well they start today.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I this guy, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Could he play for New South bat and then fly back?
I see your point.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
My point is that one Test match is not going
to help his like batting. This is my match.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
But if you were going to pick him and he
should play, he should play as you were going to
pick him, then you shouldn't have put him in the
squad in the first place. But they put him in
the squad to give him the experience. Experience. Yeah, I
got the training sessions of the conditions and they're all
done now. So they're like burning him.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Out and sending him home. Does that just ruin his
confidence of it?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I don't think. I think that needs to happen. Yeah, he's.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Maybe as well, he's not a good at mixing the
cordials as.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Well as he's probably buzzing. He gets to go home
like he probably has like a face. I saw his
stories on his he would.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Be first class or by himself going back to play
cricket to the country he was.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
He came from you, he has for like ten years.
He spent like he'd love it. I reckon it wouldn't
hinder his confidence. No, I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I just think it's a bit silly.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Let us know in the comments, what side of the
corn you end up on?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, yeah, there's not the it's next big question. Should
Marnus be dropped and who should come into the side.
Our mate friend of the show, Dan Churney said last
night that it's most likely he's not going to be dropped,
but there was a bit there was a rumor because
(16:13):
he wasn't batting with the main side last night in
the nets, so apparently he won't be dropped. But do
we think he should be dropped? I think he should
have a rest get maybe mcsweeny McSweeney will rested.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
But McSweeney was training with the with the main guy.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
But Dan Journey said last time that didn't really matter.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
But it was a bit suss.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I'm just saying should should just be dropped like doesn't
matter if he's going to be should he be?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Why not? I think he should be rested, but he'll play.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I thought you were Yeah, okay, so you're saying he
will still play. You think he should think he should be?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
That's I was asking. That's all I answered that.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Okay, Yeah, he did answer the question just a bit.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Drop him, drop him, drop him. He only made tyone
else made a hundred.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
More big decisions, big selection decisions. This match does not
mean anything when we flip the order exactly.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
This is from Nathan Lion and Creudim.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
It's just a perfect time to drop him.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
This is exactly like us after the first Test, robbing him.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
It's we rest him same the same dropped on the
team sheet when it comes out Thursday six twenty.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Well okay I felt today. Yeah, so when's the next
Test series? I don't even know when England? Yeah ashes
ashes not for ages. Yeah exactly, so drop him?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Okay, fair enough. Last big question. We are going on
a long time today. What can try and could do
better to stay in this match? And do they even
have a chance of winning this match?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Do we want an hour a long podcast because we
could roll through it. They could they could bat better,
they could bother, they could feel better done.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, genuinely is what they can do.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I know the Aussie boys, they're pretty fun, you know,
on the beers after the game.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Not least let the at least the game go.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Four or five days and at least bowl twice Slanka, please,
I think make it excited for the viewers. Yeah, a
lot of different things with the ball, more consistency with
the attacking, control with their delivery. Don't ball absolute pass.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
They bowl the wicket taking balls, but then they trickle
in some pass there and it's like, let's get some
controling consistency.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I agree.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Ugly war on your foot like it's when you when
you get the medication and it's healing, but still there's
there's still some pass coming out.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Let this man cook.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
That is Sholenkin bowling.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Also Dan and Dan and Jay the silver use your bowler,
Bour bowler.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
He did. Matthews. I know he's a buddy older than
like your dad.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
But like.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
King, bowl some meds.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Getting chumbling in the keeper up to the stumps, give
you the batsman. Some of the thing about don't let
poor Jayasuria. He's after the game seventy five he doesn't
ever left arm anymore where he's left.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Actually heard his playing right arm next time because he
left well, even we even Bald Trevors heard, didn't we.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah for two overs, we didn't, but we didn't. We
weren't out there for as long as they were. Yeah,
I know. Yeah, Well Todd Murphy got limited overs, so
I'd like to see him have a bit more.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I think we should open with Todd Murphy just for
fat on the ball both well he did in the
ball on the second innings he did, actually, yeah he did.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Maybe a bit more of that, Just get Ian M.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Murphy more involve because I think the first things on
the ball sixervers, we didn't really need him.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Sort of just like died throughout the middle of the year. Murphy,
I haven't really heard about it.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Mine's still killing it. I don't until lines gone.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Murphy's like I swear, between the tests in India and Victoria,
it's just come back up.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
No, he's done really well for Victoria. I know that,
I know, but I just haven't heard. Yeah, fair enough enough.
And then just on the banning quickly for shying. Oh yes,
they battered.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Their aggressive nature was quite good. I thought it was
the right mindset. But the Aussie spinner's bolder more consistently
than what Srilanka did by more wicked balls and just
a little bit more temperament from the Srilanka batters.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
A lot of cheat wickets though, for sure, Yeah, a
little bit more. Keep you calm head, get grounded, captain Oflaka.
You're a big believer.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
In Sri Lanka in the world.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So serious he said that, I was definitely I'm not
win the champions Trovia that they're not in.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
They didn't even call for on the eaker.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
The best teams in Sleaka are a part of that.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
That's not in the best eight teams Afghanistan better than
that's wild. Oh no, I don't think the Western news
in a.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Pakistan, England, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Australia, Afghanistan and bang.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Damn it, they're in the other college like corruption has
gone on.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Oh my god, let's not get into that all right,
before we get into the rest of the predictions and
all things Izzy Cricket, make sure to check out tab
Touch for their sports markets which cover every cricket match
this season. Got the Touch download tab Touch today I think,
is this a bet you really want a place for
free and confidential support called one eight hundred eight five
eight eight five eight or is it gamming help online
dot org dot A. You all right, Lad's predictions were
(21:20):
so well prepared with these as always well, I like
to vibe it same. I think when we talk about
it through the podcast or the big questions, you get
a sense of what if we predetermine it, that's just
nerdy it is. I think that's just our show predetermined anything.
So we'll start with most runs for this test match.
I think all these predictions have to be Australian focused, surely,
(21:43):
just because how bad Slanka were.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
So I'll start with Leo because he tried to apartment
off before.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I'm like, hell, in the first test you said socials,
I tip run the social.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
An absolute mug.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
So the whole graphic was very trying to focus.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I'm like Marcus is and I even asked if I remember,
I was like, should put a striker? But yeah, and
you got roasted in the comments from a few mates
who did shrike. What are you doing? You didn't like?
You just weren't.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
So if you turned up then you would have tip
exactly anyway, that was a bit stiff.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Kenn most runs Leo for the match, most runs. Well,
my head is saying usban khwaja. Can I paint a picture?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Paint a picture? I did a picture for Josh Inglish
and that came true.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I reckon a short, should be you actually painting a
picture of Travis?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Said, oh, you don't want to see me paint you
can draw character of Travis.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
That could be a little segment that we all just
have little easels behind here.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Gerald's had it up like the thumbs up. If you
don't want to see that, the thumbs up.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
The picture, lads, Yeah, hold on, yeah, visualized, visualize. We
can see back manas slabber Shane. Everyone is going should
he be dropped? Should he stay on the team. We've
just done that. There's been rumors of him going out
of the team, rumors of him staying in the team.
I think he plays Australia will play him.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Yeah, it's not a dream. I never said a painting. Yeah,
it's a very detail.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
And then he comes in at three. All summer he's
got a few sixes, few seventies. He wants to really
make his mark on this summer. He wants to make
a century and end the summer under high before the
ashes next.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
So now we're talking here, he goes out, he makes
a hundred. I don't care if how many balls. He
just does it. It'll be ugly to watch because he's
a bit of an ugly batsman, but he'll do it,
and he'll be like, I'm your man to bat three
for the ashes and we'll be there like natural, What
a picture he's just painted there? So is he holding
up the bat in the painting? Or is this all?
Is it? However? You want to visualize the painting, you visualize.
(23:51):
I'm sold. I know you had a nut there.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
So Marnus is making the most runs. I'll back it in.
That is unbelievable. What's abroad? I'm like, I'm going to go.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
I'm going to go, Smudge. Oh, I think he's just
going to go big again. And he looked pretty solid
and it took a pretty good ball to.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Get him, wasn't it. Yeah, yep, Smudge, it's not a
bad shat.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I'm going to go. The man from Leeds, England my thing.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah, he made a LEO called it, but I called
the century. I didn't call it. I said most runs though,
yeah I didn't call it generally, think you make most runs.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
He's like one hundred, that was easy. I'm also make
two hundred. He's gonna make two hundred and then.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
In front of the ball two hundred. I love how
it was.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
He just gave it, giving him so much crap about
being from England and like you should you valid yeah, ballad,
it doesn't matter. England's team is not English, so talking.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Well to be fair like Usman Kowhaja isn't full Australian.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Shane is because that's true. That's just a part of
multiculture Australia. We love it, we Ali. So yeah, I'm
going to go Josh English, he's going to make the
most runs. He's just going to think Test cricket is
so easy and dominate.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I love it all right.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
He painted a picture for so long there, so let's
keep going. Sorry most wickets. We'll start with Marcus.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Let me paint your picture reemption Todd Murphy. Oh this
is fun. I reckon. We'll go to Murphy Murphy's about
it was a quick picture that was like a stick figure.
You do all right? You're like if anyone was going
to listen to an audio book. They probably listened. Oh really,
I don't know about his voice, but out of us story,
(25:27):
out of us story. Yeah, I agree with that, but
you can't get him the character. I'll tell you what
he does. He does most wickets, guys, most wickets. So
you said, Todd Murphy, it's boring, But I just think Coonman,
the man man. Oh yeah, that's the thing. The man
(25:47):
can we can, we should give you.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
It's be called the man.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
That's what I remember when I was watching the last show.
We're not talking about that. I thought he's going to
talk about something else. Story.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Yeah, I said, the last show, how I did the
old should man Shuldman, gil Man.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
That's what I thought about when I was gonna say
Cooneman as well, there we go. You know, only one man.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
There's only one man, that man. He looks so he
looked good.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I know he's got a few cheap ones in the
first thing, but second in he was just so consistent.
Left arm spin I think is going to work really well.
So he's gonna get the most wickets, best ball of
the game. Yeah, yeah, nine wickets, yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
What about a sea Fernando though he was horrible.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I thought he was good. So I saw some highlights
of him before the first test.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
He's been watching YouTube highlights and compilation. Yeah, I think
it was on Instagram reels or something like that. Even
he looked good and the sec the Fernando highlight.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Instagram reels and the whole lots of.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
His bowling is the same thing. Oh, there you go
if you know more Instagram ruels.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Exactly right. You don't want to go on markets instagramers can?
I actually sometimes scroll on Instagram on the Cricket Today
account and I'm like, have you guys ever done that? No,
you're smith all the one searching portals.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
There's no none of that, mate, No, it's just it's
just mussol AND's shirtless.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, absolutely, all right, who wins? Do we even have
to do this little Australia Australia win by an eatings again?
I reckon, they look so bad like.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Australia.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Oh my god, that's our predictions. We're all going Australia Australia.
As you would say, let's finish it off questions and
fair comments.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Who wants to marcause I feel like you know you.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
You can run this little segment. You go, mate on
TikTok jumping Jack Johnson. You guys don't know Jack Johnson,
the singer.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
He's a legend anyway, is X factor? Uh No, I
only know Betty Warp and Kai Sinnat.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
He said when we're talking about Smith Parsington k runs, Yes,
he goes Smiths Smith Smith.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
You're a better with Smith.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Smith will pass Border and War, but I reckon he'll
end up around twelve thousand runs. So I had a
look this morning.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
He's actually eight hundred runs behind Steve Wall, so I
think you'll pass him Border. I'd say he's about a
thousand behind, and I need to double checkout pass him
and then get twelve thousand.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Yeah. Do we think and imagine if.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
He didn't have all those years off like they had
one year, wasn't it a year and a half something?
That might have been a year, but he would have
made how many runs is usually make a year? Trying
to think, but he's peaking. He was a thousand Yeah,
so he's missing out on a few runs there, but anyway,
he's still had an awesome career.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I agree with that. Crime TV. We are with Jack
on TikTok yep yep, good Man. Facebook Facebook.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
This is about the.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Travis Head winning the Allan Border Medal ellen Board Trovian
BALLA Gilmore from Facebook says congratulations, but can the medal
get any smaller?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Low? It is tiny.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I've said that before, even the Brown Australian Awards in
gender and gets decent.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
It's literally like like like a dog coin, a fifty
cent coin. I reckon.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I like that though. It's it makes it seem sure
older and traditional.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Not everything needs to be. I don't think it needs
to be big. But you can't even say that to
the ladies all the time. Jesus.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, true, true, Yeah, you're right, You're right, but I
think it needs to be a little bit bigger.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, I'm talking about the middle. Yeah yeah, yeah it does.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Brian Rock says he's captain material.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
To this is the Brian Rock that's a very negative
in the common We love his parents, but he's usually
on the travers head head fan.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yeah, captain material do we think? I don't think he is.
I'd love track. He's too loose, He's too loose. Jack
a gubblefielder is there? Grand Mustard?
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Was he the one who thought of the Sri Lanka
square leg field. Oh yeah, first Test field, but there
were twenty meters that feel.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah, that's something Marnus would come up with. Yeah. True.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I think he's good vice captain material, like he can
put his input every now and then. But I don't
think he's captain for the Test team. Maybe for one
days or things like that. What do you guys think?
I think he's captain.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
He's captain material post celebrations. Yes, it was like captain material.
Geez again again it's quickly got in for the audio listeners.
I just touched Marcus as ship. Yeah, and it's the

only thing I touched. New by Pierre.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
If I'm saying that, yeah, that was I have no idea.
On Instagram says can't believe Mitch marsh won it last year.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I can. Great, It's just funny to think about that.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
He had.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
He was crap before last year.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Then he ended up this season really crap, and then
he's getting in the middle of that banished pretty much banished,
and then in the middle of that he's one of
the he was a big old Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
He did, but I don't I still don't think you
should have won it. Who should have want it comings.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, we like it at the difference great, yeah, and
he seems like the best bloke. Did you see one
of his interviews he said his nephew is running in
the back up cricket yesterday before and he's running and
he's like, I'm gonna do boom.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
He's on the boom reaction.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
He's like, I'm getting nightmares again. So he's getting nightmares.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
From and that's that's very funny. That was good. His
nephews needs to read the room a bit more. Imagine
if is like, I'm not played anymore. I couldn't have
got that clip mate if he the nephew didn't do that.

True, So it was a good little clip.
