Goodness of anything worse? Now I'm just joking and download
to have touched today.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Imagine what you could be buying instead for free and
confidential support called one eight hundred and eight five eight
A five eight or visit gambling help online dot org.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Dot Are you all right? This may be? Leo wasn't
happy before the show quick single? We're here? There is
only like three mates, seven things maybe a quick single.
We're not running seven on a quick single, mate. I've
seen YouTube run now. I'm just joking.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I was gonna say, you tube between the wickets. I
got no idea if you quick between the wickets or not.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
First other quick single? Yeah, that was really good.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I was gonna go there, and then I was like,
now that's ash you miss is gonna be watching this
this show at the start of the show and you're
gonna be quick single, very quick.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Okay, I'm not going down that, you idiot.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
The women's ashes, obviously, we're going to touch on that
at the mcg day night tests been absolutely awesome.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Is that sorry? How is that? Got one? Dot point?
I'm the quick single. I put it in there the
other day just to remind me to put it in there.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Just relax, right, you can feel like the runchet if
you want anyway awesome. That is the day Night Tests
is looking for the first clean sweep in women's ashes history.
So we've obviously dominated the t twenties, dominated the Odie Eyes.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
And then just one thing.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I wanted to touch on was Alyssa Heally wore Betty
Wilson's blazer from the nineteen forty so she rocked up
to the coin toss. Pretty cool bit of history there.
Betty Wilson's known as the women's version of Don Bradman,
which I've read over this week. So the family gave
Alyssa Heelly as a gift, that is at the MCG
that she should wear Betty Wilson's player. So I thought
(04:36):
that was pretty cool. And then Alyssa Heally was a
bit of a touch and go to play. So she's
not keeping, but you've got to writ the side right,
She's just she's a legend.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, you got to.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I think she's at four four or five slaughter in there.
Bang there you go, yeah, there you go?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Easy is that?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And then the other one on the women's ashes, Atlana King,
I think she's done it before in a women's Test
match for fist she gets four for again, really deserved
a fire for her from what I saw.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
She He's unbelievable. She can spin it an absolute mile.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
The English I think they look okay against a lot
of our pace ballers, but when a lot of king
comes on, they look absolutely bambruised.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, it's pretty similar, isn't it a leg spinner tearing
it up at the mcg Yes, all.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Her overs were from the Shane Warne stand too.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Oh really, that's that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, she was, she was unreal, she was she was
beating the edge of the bat more than Scott Bowland,
like yeah, which is very hard to do. Yeah, like
good levels, very good bowler.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
So we're going really well there.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I think Australia one for fifty six chasing.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
One hundred and seventy.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I think, yeah, that's right. Yeah, so pretty good effort there.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
We're going really strong and I think it could have
been another easy victory where England just aren't good enough
to compete in these ashes.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Well, we're just too good, thankfully. Unlike in Sydney, absolutely
no rain forecasts in Melbourne for it's going to be
hot god knows how long. Yeah, so we're going to
get four or five days play. If it does come
down to that.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Yeah it goes there is thirty
nine in Marlvens.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
That's he's going to be bloody hot.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
But it'll be awesome that we don't get any rain
for the cricket Random mind and the quick single. I
touched on this with Lea before the show, but just
shocked me the age of this man. The highest ranked
Test spinner in the world right now is no man
Ali left arm orthodox sixteen wickets across his two Tests
against the West Indies. He's fifth in the world and
he's thirty eight. That's like Lebron type levels. That is unbelievable.
(06:27):
How's he doing that?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Well? Something mate?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
That thirty eight he just made two hundred and thirty.
But I know Matthews is older than my dad. He's
still bloody playing for at least is this What is
his point in the quick single?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Doing in the world? Was kawaj is not fifth in
the world and his craft, he's first in the world
for being the best. He's the coolest, but also is
I reckon you guys could make a quick fifty against Chilika.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
They're not putting up much of a fight some other teams.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
You really think we could make it quick fifty against
so Lenka on that.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, definitely not. But I just want
to put that in there because that's a bloody good effort.
And I thought you guys would appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
He's only he's only played nineteen Test matches.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, he's in his prime at thirty eight, so he's
going to play till he's about forty five bowls off
a couple.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Of steps, well more, can you want Leo? Great? Oh
my god? You like that?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You're you're harsh man.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I just I don't understand. Like he's thirty.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
It's a great achievement, it's a great bowl, a bold
well against Australia. I think last time we were there bowler.
But like Couhage is thirty eight, he just made two
hundred and thirty.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Like you know what I mean? Like, why is this
in the quick? Single?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Thought?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
It was interesting? I just was interesting.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Do you want to put do you want to put
in what you had for breakfast? As well? So that's guy,
Well do you do you want to put in some
some enthusiasm? Small?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Just last one in the quick singles Sole. It doesn't
have a hissy bit. Steve Smith, we got to touch
on him. That's I put him in here and we
can talk about him in the shankt Australia talking points,
but obviously ticks over the ten thousand Tests runs. He
just needed one run in this Strilanka Test match. The
ticket off raised the bat. The crowd went nuts. It
was very weird because obviously he did very rarely see
someone raise the bat after one run, but he did that,
(08:16):
the fourth ever Ozzie to do so. So we will
touch on that later in the show. Thirty five hundreds,
averages fifty six now in Test cricket and averages seventy
in the first innings, which people are saying is only
second to Don Bradman in terms of I think it's
about fifteen plus tests, so awesome. First innings average seventy
when the balls usually hardest to face. So that's bloody awesome.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Bonnie Blue, eat your heart out the twenty four hours
I've ben Steve Smith's tens, only the fourth ever Australian
to do so.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, he also dominated men. You just love to see
that over in Goalie.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I can't belait we.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Reference that well, Yeah, he's an absolute legend. I remember
when he did the rankings of Aussie batsman and I
can't even remember what I had him, but you bagged
me of how high I had him split some respect
on his name, Leo.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Where did I have him? I can't remember?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
He had him five third?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, I think I had him third or fourth, which
I'm still backing, and this backs up my point.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
He's doing it. He had a couple of years off
as well.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, I was about to say, yeah, he had a
couple of years off. So I think what Joe Root's
got about twelve thousand Test runs? I think something like that,
So he could be well on par with Joe Route
and really knocking on the door of the top run
scoreres in Test history.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, could he not? Ricky Ponting reckons he'll catch him.
Do we think that's possible? I think he's about three
thousand off Ricky Ponting? Is that possible?
Speaker 4 (09:42):
You'll get there?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Because he could play till he's like older.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Depends on many Test matches Australia decide to schedule if
he continues in this form, I.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Don't think he'll get there. Not every test he's going
to be against Sri Lanka on that wicked Yeah, he'll struggle.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, he's also I think he had no test hundred
for almost a year and then these last seven innings
he's had three. So he's bounced back really really well.
And you'd love to say that for Smudge, we have
lots of chocolate the next couple of nights. He loves
his chocolate blocks. When he makes one hundred.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Copt a good nut though on the weekend, yeah, yesterday,
so to get him.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Out, very good delivery. Yeah, and the actually used a
review well for ones. So there we go.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
All right, Should I give us Australia talking points on that?
No more quick single Leo will fire up now he'll
start talking. Uh day one obviously we can touch on
that quickly. Travis Head as an open up, did the job.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
He just knew what to do.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
He had eleven boundaries, ninety two run an opening partnership
with uzz. He fifty seven or forty thought it was
a T twenty travel ball.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Just oh what a beast.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
It was one way to get him out. It was
getting called on the boundary and that's exactly how we
got out. But he missed out and he could have
could you reckon? Big school?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
He should have knuckled down to it. I'll read some
comments later, like after he made fifty. I don't know
so because he would have made a hundred if he
just took a little bit easier.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah, he probably would have. But look at it, it's
one of those things. I think he just has to
play the way he wants to play, like what's worked
for him. It was funny though, on his dismissal. When
he first hit it, the commentator at the time, I'm
not sure who it was, was like, oh he smoked that.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
That's six. Yeah he did. Hi, its out, I take
it back, I take you back it out. Also, he
didn't even hit it clean at all, so I don't
know what the commentator was.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Well, talking about the commentary, by the way, she's pretty bad.
It's dead.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
It's very dead.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
There's no energy, was an enthusiasm. It's just like I
know you, like the game isn't allowing it because Australia,
like we're just dominated.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
For six hundred, but like still yeah, like they've got
as much energy as flak in the field. Talking about
them in the field, Oh day won They were shambles.
They think they dropped early. They dropped Smith early.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
They just they didn't get had out the LB. They
could have reviewed that, we could have reviewed. They've just
been so. I think they've stuffed up a couple of
drest decisions.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, they missed it on Uzzie again when he was on.
He ended up making two hundred.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Even when they got Uzzi out, I feel like, I
don't know, it might have just been relief from the keeper,
but the keeper didn't like really like, it didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Look like he thought he hit it.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
He just sort of grabbed the ball and then put
into his hands, put to his head, sorry, and then
the ball and knew it was out. But the keeper,
I don't know if he was relieved, but he was
just like, which I don't reckon that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, but how would you like, I'm not going to like,
in all fairness, I'm not going to react after the
bloke makes two hundred. The game's done on data appeal.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
But the way he looked relieved but also could be
perceived as oh, he's almost hit that.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Like yeah close again. Yeah yeah, no, I know what
you're saying.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah that, but they've just been I genuinely thought this
would be close. I mentioned before the show eight of
thirteen their last thirteen matches at goal they've won, and
then they do this in Australia, just absolutely dominant. Obviously,
we had seventy four overs of spin on day one,
very close to the same on day two. And then
a funny thing about the weather every single day at
(13:09):
the moment in goal, there's a thunderstorm at the end
of the day, like it's just it's just gonna happen
every day.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
That's their weather.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
At the moment.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Humidity is eighty two percent, crazy humid. It doesn't look
obviously that's sunny and very overcast.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
But jeez, today during the night it's ninety six percent.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Ooh, that's gonna be fun to sleep.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Oh, that would not be good. I feel like it'd
be a cool way trip da. We've seen them sitting
on like the castle. It looks beautiful. It's like four
yeah along the wall looks really sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah, they've got the Shane Warren stand up there on
the floor.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah. Yeah, it's it's actually yeah, it looks.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Like is this the best like two player trophy?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Well, people are bagging the crap out of it, but
I love it.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
It's got the offfee, the handle on the coffee and
then the hand on the leggie. As we're talking about
it the other day later, Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
We were talking about that as in like how many
fingers are gonna put onto ball?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Yeah, I don't remember talking about the.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Trophy they talking about it is a good trophy. I
like it, And honestly, a gol looks beautiful.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Big shout out to Gaul. I'd love a big shout
out to.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Go Yeah, yeah, I would love to send us touch.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, maybe day two will just quickly touch on. That
was his first ever double century. I was surprised when
I heard that. I thought for sure he would have
had a two hundred. But his best score before yesterday
was one ninety five, so awesome. He finished up on
Twildred and thirty two. Steve Smith one hundred and forty one.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Just not good enough.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Smithy, like, if someone's making two hundred, you've got to
make it. Least he was filming with himself. Oh I
left three hundred out there.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Honestly, he probably could have made that.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And then Cowarder and Smith two hundred and sixty six
run partnership. I just thought that these two are never
going out. We might see him bat for two and
a half days the second.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Second or third host Australian partnership ever, you know, usually
I think.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, yeah, I think it was second. I need to
double check that, but I didn't write that one down.
It so bloody awesome. And then Leo, I'll let you
have your moment for the next one.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
You called it everyone's making hundreds, but I'll give you
this one who made a hundred after.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
That, the little man from Leeds, Josh calling him, no,
what a man, Jesse. It didn't look like going out
until he did, didn't he.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Exactly exactly?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I've Leon loves Bethel, but yeah, yeah I have, But
yeah he was.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
He was superb.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
One hundred off ninety balls on debut. First what have
you written here? First on first hundred century on debut
since just twenty fifteen. That was against the Windys yep.
So yeah, just great to see. And yeah, look, our
selection in this Test match is paid off massively, moving
head to the top English great player of spin. What
(15:54):
I really liked is, look, we can say Sri Lanka
have been terrible, because they have, but we've had really
clear plans to spin. We're picking the right ball to sweep,
the right ball to come down to the pitch, right
ball to go back to and like we're also playing
different bowlers differently, Like we're playing trying to play vanders
off the back foot a lot because of his spin.
(16:15):
He's a big turn of the ball. J Suri off
the back foot too. And then with the.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Well we were talking about it.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
On day one. Yeah, on day one in particularly was
just throw it down.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Like day one, vanders I would say was their most
a like he didn't threaten as much, but he was
spinning in a mile compared to like the other guys
that were just as Tom Clark goes on the show.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
The other day would say, door open on day one.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
So the problem with Vandersay is he bowls a good
selection of balls, but then he always gives you the
boundary ball. His controller is a little bit.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
And I just think Australia they knew that they did,
they did their research and as I said that their
plans of this were exceptional and I think if that
if if they were to replicate that in the Indian environment,
I think we'd go very close to winning a series
there as well.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Just quite. I agree.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I'm looking at the I hadn't had a look at
how many runs the shrank of bowlers went for the
three bowlers one hundred and eighty two runs plus raise
the ball.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
That is good.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
The other thing that surprises me, why haven't they used
like Dan and Jay the silver the captain can bowler. Yeah,
he's all right, used combowls, some mediums, Like I know
they're not world beaters, but like give them a chop out.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
There's still them. They're still other three ings to go
in this series. I agree.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, even i'd mends at Bold. I think a couple
of tests to go, just a couple of okay, I
didn't know that a couple of twiks are, but legit,
they let me have another look at their bowlers. If
you're a pairis just take yourself off forty one the wicket.
At least the other two got three.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Has peris maiden one hasn't.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Josiah Bold eight.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Maidens because he bowled eight overs down the league side
to Smith and yes, just kicking them away.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, that was my mate I was talking to the
other night. He goes, I was I turned on the
cricket Smith's padding away every ball.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Fair well, we always.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Have a go at the team selections, right, we always, yeah,
like seem to find something that we don't like. But
it was good. I reckon, they've got a spot on
for this Test match.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah, even though I wanted Constance in there, and like
even hindsight now before I was like, look, they've picked spinners.
This is the first time, I reckon ever we've just
gone we're picking it for the conditions, not for the players.
Like obviously we had no Commings and a few and
Hazero and things like that. But even if all those
guys were fit, I still think we would have taken
one pace bowler. And we're actually thinking about the match
(18:54):
a bit more, which is which is good.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, for sure, I think we made two changes for
the next Test match and I'm looking ahead. But already
I reckon, give Travis Herd to chop out, give him
a rest. I've been Constants back in and then interesting
just confidence getting the face spin a bit more, because yeah,
I agree first at facing spin and then Stark probably
(19:17):
out for Scobo.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Oh I don't mind that, just to change it up.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
We'll see how even even McSweeney. Maybe he took a
ripper of a catch, didn't he he.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Did, Yeah, yeah, yeah, he took an awesome catch.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
It was a bit lucky, controlled it and then back
and then obviously just to finish off the wrap up
of day two, Ozzie's declared at six hundred and fifty four.
I don't know why it's always cool when the captain
just goes and then this brings him in.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I was like when a team declares.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Alex Carey was stiff forty yeah, moore on away from
a half century. Just let him get the fifty.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, that dad was very stiff actually, and Stark was
going off nine and off nineteen, just going at one
hundred strike great love to see that.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Obviously see hundred and fifty for the biggest ever Assie
score in Asia and the biggest overall for Australia in
Test match in Test matches since twenty twelve. So bloody
awesome effort to get that school. It was like like
a PlayStation game. The last time was twenty twelve against
India in Sydney. I believe I reckon that was the
test that Michael Clarke would have got three hundred hundred,
(20:20):
I reckon, but I'm not hundredent sure on that, but
I reckon that might have been that Test match.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
And then obviously Australia fifteen overs with the ball, we
go this wasn't this pitch?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Isn't that good? You idiots? Shlaka, what are you doing? Laka?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Are three for forty four, Star Kuneman and Lyone all
get a wicket and we just go, We're the greatest
in the world.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
We're gonna win the Test Championship. We're gonna We're gonna
win this.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
We're gonna win the Aussie women's ashes. Australia just love
them life.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Well.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
The thing is, though, so we do we have them
three for forty after they struggled so bad.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
But watching Srilanka bowl.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
There were wicket taking deliveries in their spells, just mixed
in with all the other crap they would issue in true.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Marcus ze pooh, he said two. We've said that about
that word about four times.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
But yeah, I yeah, I just thought Australia proved that
if you do consistently bowl in the right area, there
will be something for you.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
And yeah, we'll just see how it goes on and
tea and look, it's either going to be a massive
Australia win or draw this game. So yeah, we'll see
how we go.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Also, can we talk about that square leg field that
they had to Josh Ingliss Yeah, AVO three players directly
behind each other twenty meters apart and square so stupid.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, really the middle I did say that the.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Middle blue couldn't even see the batsman, like you couldn't
even see him that It was like, what is this
field that is?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
That was like trying to get a catch on, but
like if there's three guys there, there were so many
other gaps in the field and then that guy in
the middle is never going to get the ball.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
It was like two balls to go on the over
that had three blows directly behind each other, but you
know he's gonna ball short the Josh Singlis is what
he did, and then Joe Shinglers just left them.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, that's done.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
That reminds me of I saw a video yesterday of
Tony Greg trying to do the like setting the field
on their online like Channel nine things and he's trying
to set the field and move the lips. I don't
know if you guys have ever seen that.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Look it up. If Tony Greg trying to set the
field on there online, I.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Think I know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
And it's so funny. He puts one of the fielders
in front of another guy. Yeah, you guys are.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Like up each other's asses, and then Richardond goes, oh,
what's he doing there?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
And it's like the best thing ever, so clever. Want
to check that out.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
But that reminds me of that because it's just a
field where there's three guys behind it, like.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
What we should have that for our live streams. We're
just describing the field in the whole Hurricain Sunday game
and we're just we're just a field they should do
and this is what they have, just like an umbrella
around the back, all right.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I reckon that's enough for the first two days. Day
three starts today for us at three point thirty. We're
very excited. I'll be right at the end of the day,
but hopefully it's just good during most of the day
before we continue all things Ozzie Cricket make sure to
check out tab Touch for their sports markets which cover
every cricket match this season.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Got the Touch download tab Touch today.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
I think is this a bit you really want a
place for free confidential support called one eight hundred eight
five eight eight five eight or visit Gambling help online
dot org dot au. All right, lad, it's a bit
of a different one I've chucked in here, but we're
going to rank some ossie batsman. I might give it
to you two to do and then I'll give my
opinion on it. But there is four ossies now because
of Steve Smith the other day, whoever made ten thousand
(23:33):
tests runs? Four ossie men that have made ten thousand
test runs?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Do we want to go through?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I'll read them out and then do we want to
discuss what order we want to put him in?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Or do you guys want to do it separately?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Now?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
How can we do it together? What do you we'll
do it together?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I feel like we're going to have similar answers to
at least two or three of them. So first off,
obviously we've got the great Ricky Punter Ponting thirteen three
hundred and seventy eight. We've got ab Alan border with
eleven one hundred and seventy four, so two thousand, two
hundred less.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
So that's an awesome effort from punter.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
We've got Steve Tuger war at ten thousand, nine hundred
and twenty seven, and then smute Steve Smith at ten thousand,
one hundred and forty.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I love how he just.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Got over ten thousand and now he's at ten thousand,
one hundred and forty. That's that's an alpha move right there.
So we've got Ponting Border war In Smith four of
the absolute greats of our game.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Who we put in number one? Or do we want
to start at number four?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Well?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Start number four? S Who are we putting fourth? This
is the toughest spot, I think. I think it's out
of Warring Border. Yeah, probably war and four.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Let's still yeah, that makes sense more than four Warren four.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Paul Tuger, Yeah, he can go number four, and then
we are we going ab and number three.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I'm leaning Smith three.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's a flipper. It's honestly because.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Smith will overtake Ab I think in runs scoring and
that's when he'll overtake him.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
On my list, I'm going to go, so Steve Smith
three d Smith.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Okay, give me I'll give you something. Let me cook, cook, cook,
let me cook, and I'll help you here.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
He's had forty one less matches at the moment than
Alan Border Steve Smith.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
So forty one he's cooked. Surely you're going to put
Steve Smith in number two.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Good point. The other thing I'm thinking is like ab
was playing in an era where weren't really a thing.
He was a hard man. He told Craig McDermot to
get on the next flight at home if you didn't.
But he was also facing the best bowls that cricket
has ever seen was Herschel, Gibbs and the like, not
(25:44):
to mention Lock England's balls were pretty spot on as well.
So wow.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
The other thing persuaded me.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, Smith also averages fifty six whereas all the other
guys average fifty one or less. Is that that might
help a little bit. Smith went put his average up
by four or five just from this Test match, So
pretty awesome effort there. He's got a punting as the
most sixes, but that's because he played a lot more matches.
But yeah, so we're going Smith at two and then
Punting at one.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yes, I think that. I think so so punter Smith,
Border War poor.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
That's that's a bloody good, yeah, bloody good.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Imagine that is your top four or like in your
in your middle order or something you could pull.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
You could all fit him in. You can probably all
fit him in.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, yeah, I don't mind that. Actually, you gotta have
Punting at one. He's got the most runs. He's he's
just an absolute legend, great captain.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
But Smith.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
If Smith passes him Monday in like test runs, is
he better than Punting? But we don't. No, fair enough.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I still I don't think so he would have.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
If he didn't have those years off I.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Reckon both very good catches as well, but I feel
Punter has just got such a crooked brain. I could
listen to him talk called. I agree, Yeah, there's a smudge.
No offense, not so much. I'd rather listen to punt
all day.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
But yeah, but yeah, legends who have made ten thousand
runs and yeah, why not? So we got yeah, Punter Smith.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Border War. I like it all right.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
That's our ranking of Ossie Batsman. Let's get into the
question slash fan comments to finish it up. We've got
some fun ones here. We'll start with Instagram. This guy
loves a comment and he's going his fan base at
Sexy Sammy constantly scoring runs, constantly with a k of course,
sexy Sammy. He's talking about Constants has been treated so
unfairly and has been robbed. What do we think, lads?
(27:37):
He has been a little bit robbed, but he is
a young guy. He'll be back in the team.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Yeah, he'll be fine. He's reckon.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, well we made the problem of handing so many
people the opening sport. Someone someone has to drop out
because he is going to keep his place in Asia.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
So yeah, and Tram said, just proved that it.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Worked, So yeah, I think I honestly, I think he
came back in for the second one.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Yep, I like it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Next one on Instagram at tomosally dot too. This one,
I will give some context. I may have put Stralanka
to win for Marcus's tip, but he wasn't around.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Marcus knows nothing about cricket. Australia number one. Is this
your mate, Marcus?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah? It is actually ye mate. Jeez, that's poor form
putting me the tipshial anchor, making me look like an
absolute I feel as Andy.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Tate would say, yeah, yeah, you obviously want to tip
to Australia.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
But I genuinely thought the match was going to be close.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I've got a bit close, Yeah, because anker have actually
been pretty sold buddy. Next we'll go on to his Facebook.
This one's about Travis Head with his fifty seven runs
opening the batting. Pat Gallica says, a great start, but
in the words of Ian Chapple, he needed to go
on with it a huge hundred gone begging sort of
what we talked about before.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
We agree.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Yeah, I agree, I.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Agree, but with his aggressive nature, he's always yeah, prone
to getting out like that.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Yeah, probably didn't need to. Yeah, before the match.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Fifty seven runs as an opener, you take that every
day the week, right, Yeah, especially of forty balls. This
is also on Facebook on Smith's ten thousand runs. A
lot of people were saying, congratulations, what a legend. He's
right up there with the best.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Da da da dah.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Then we had some negative ones as well, which I
wanted to read out.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
First.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
One Paul Wintle says should have got it against India.
Lowell should have.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Should have it, would have wanted to as well.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
So yeah, he said in an interview he wasn't thinking
about it, but what do you guys think.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Surely he was in the back of his mind. Yeah,
it would have been It would have been a little bit.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Honestly, I don't know why. We just didn't drop him
until the Ashes next year at the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
So I love that.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
And then another one about it, Frank you'es he's still
a cheat. Never forget I don't know as forget three,
he's still a cheap. I don't know if Frank's a
palm or not. But he has commented some stuff stuff before.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Shout out fray.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
We love any type of comments. But I don't know
about that. He was a scapegoat, mister Steve Smith. Mister Smith,
I think so. Still, it's got nothing to do with
his batting. What happened, So it's the call of his
batting is still there. So yeah, very nice. And then
on YouTube. Don't want to read this one out the
next two hours. Yeah, you can read this one out, Marcus,
(30:28):
because it's about your dad's bat.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Oh jeez, here we go. Dump dumpty dumpty donut. Trump
is all.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Trump parents on the internet being like props.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
He says, props to the prop on the show. Obviously
it's not on this show, it's on previous it's on
shows when we're in the studio. In the studio yet,
but we have the power about. That's my old man's
about from when he used to play classic piece of
kid from the eighties, says Dumpty dump.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
No one is that name, Dumpty Dumpty donut tumps out nice. Yeah,
that is a good, awesome gid a bit kit from
the eighties. We didn't know how old.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
It was, but it must be, must be.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
And I picked I don't know if your lads have
picked it up properly. It is so heavy.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
I could not with the live stream. I was showing
my shadow about him. And you notice how heavy it is.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
It I caught like a wood or brought it into
the office, made carrying it on the train.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Marcus, do you know how heavy your bad is?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Do you?
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Le?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I forgot you picked it up, but it is literally

Speaker 1 (03:48):

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Is that sorry? How is that? Got one? Dot point?
I'm the quick single. I put it in there the
other day just to remind me to put it in there.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Just relax, right, you can feel like the runchet if
you want anyway awesome. That is the day Night Tests
is looking for the first clean sweep in women's ashes history.
So we've obviously dominated the t twenties, dominated the Odie Eyes.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
And then just one thing.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I wanted to touch on was Alyssa Heally wore Betty
Wilson's blazer from the nineteen forty so she rocked up
to the coin toss. Pretty cool bit of history there.
Betty Wilson's known as the women's version of Don Bradman,
which I've read over this week. So the family gave
Alyssa Heelly as a gift, that is at the MCG
that she should wear Betty Wilson's player. So I thought
(04:36):
that was pretty cool. And then Alyssa Heally was a
bit of a touch and go to play. So she's
not keeping, but you've got to writ the side right,
She's just she's a legend.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, you got to.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I think she's at four four or five slaughter in there.
Bang there you go, yeah, there you go?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Easy is that?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And then the other one on the women's ashes, Atlana King,
I think she's done it before in a women's Test
match for fist she gets four for again, really deserved
a fire for her from what I saw.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
She He's unbelievable. She can spin it an absolute mile.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
The English I think they look okay against a lot
of our pace ballers, but when a lot of king
comes on, they look absolutely bambruised.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, it's pretty similar, isn't it a leg spinner tearing
it up at the mcg Yes, all.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Her overs were from the Shane Warne stand too.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Oh really, that's that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, she was, she was unreal, she was she was
beating the edge of the bat more than Scott Bowland,
like yeah, which is very hard to do. Yeah, like
good levels, very good bowler.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
So we're going really well there.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I think Australia one for fifty six chasing.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
One hundred and seventy.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I think, yeah, that's right. Yeah, so pretty good effort there.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
We're going really strong and I think it could have
been another easy victory where England just aren't good enough
to compete in these ashes.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Well, we're just too good, thankfully. Unlike in Sydney, absolutely
no rain forecasts in Melbourne for it's going to be
hot god knows how long. Yeah, so we're going to
get four or five days play. If it does come
down to that.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Yeah it goes there is thirty
nine in Marlvens.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
That's he's going to be bloody hot.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
But it'll be awesome that we don't get any rain
for the cricket Random mind and the quick single. I
touched on this with Lea before the show, but just
shocked me the age of this man. The highest ranked
Test spinner in the world right now is no man
Ali left arm orthodox sixteen wickets across his two Tests
against the West Indies. He's fifth in the world and
he's thirty eight. That's like Lebron type levels. That is unbelievable.
(06:27):
How's he doing that?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Well? Something mate?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
That thirty eight he just made two hundred and thirty.
But I know Matthews is older than my dad. He's
still bloody playing for at least is this What is
his point in the quick single?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Doing in the world? Was kawaj is not fifth in
the world and his craft, he's first in the world
for being the best. He's the coolest, but also is
I reckon you guys could make a quick fifty against Chilika.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
They're not putting up much of a fight some other teams.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
You really think we could make it quick fifty against
so Lenka on that.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, definitely not. But I just want
to put that in there because that's a bloody good effort.
And I thought you guys would appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
He's only he's only played nineteen Test matches.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, he's in his prime at thirty eight, so he's
going to play till he's about forty five bowls off
a couple.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Of steps, well more, can you want Leo? Great? Oh
my god? You like that?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You're you're harsh man.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I just I don't understand. Like he's thirty.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
It's a great achievement, it's a great bowl, a bold
well against Australia. I think last time we were there bowler.
But like Couhage is thirty eight, he just made two
hundred and thirty.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Like you know what I mean? Like, why is this
in the quick? Single?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Thought?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
It was interesting? I just was interesting.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Do you want to put do you want to put
in what you had for breakfast? As well? So that's guy,
Well do you do you want to put in some
some enthusiasm? Small?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Just last one in the quick singles Sole. It doesn't
have a hissy bit. Steve Smith, we got to touch
on him. That's I put him in here and we
can talk about him in the shankt Australia talking points,
but obviously ticks over the ten thousand Tests runs. He
just needed one run in this Strilanka Test match. The
ticket off raised the bat. The crowd went nuts. It
was very weird because obviously he did very rarely see
someone raise the bat after one run, but he did that,
(08:16):
the fourth ever Ozzie to do so. So we will
touch on that later in the show. Thirty five hundreds,
averages fifty six now in Test cricket and averages seventy
in the first innings, which people are saying is only
second to Don Bradman in terms of I think it's
about fifteen plus tests, so awesome. First innings average seventy
when the balls usually hardest to face. So that's bloody awesome.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Bonnie Blue, eat your heart out the twenty four hours
I've ben Steve Smith's tens, only the fourth ever Australian
to do so.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, he also dominated men. You just love to see
that over in Goalie.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I can't belait we.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Reference that well, Yeah, he's an absolute legend. I remember
when he did the rankings of Aussie batsman and I
can't even remember what I had him, but you bagged
me of how high I had him split some respect
on his name, Leo.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Where did I have him? I can't remember?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
He had him five third?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, I think I had him third or fourth, which
I'm still backing, and this backs up my point.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
He's doing it. He had a couple of years off
as well.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, I was about to say, yeah, he had a
couple of years off. So I think what Joe Root's
got about twelve thousand Test runs? I think something like that,
So he could be well on par with Joe Route
and really knocking on the door of the top run
scoreres in Test history.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, could he not? Ricky Ponting reckons he'll catch him.
Do we think that's possible? I think he's about three
thousand off Ricky Ponting? Is that possible?
Speaker 4 (09:42):
You'll get there?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Because he could play till he's like older.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Depends on many Test matches Australia decide to schedule if
he continues in this form, I.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Don't think he'll get there. Not every test he's going
to be against Sri Lanka on that wicked Yeah, he'll struggle.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, he's also I think he had no test hundred
for almost a year and then these last seven innings
he's had three. So he's bounced back really really well.
And you'd love to say that for Smudge, we have
lots of chocolate the next couple of nights. He loves
his chocolate blocks. When he makes one hundred.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Copt a good nut though on the weekend, yeah, yesterday,
so to get him.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Out, very good delivery. Yeah, and the actually used a
review well for ones. So there we go.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
All right, Should I give us Australia talking points on that?
No more quick single Leo will fire up now he'll
start talking. Uh day one obviously we can touch on
that quickly. Travis Head as an open up, did the job.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
He just knew what to do.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
He had eleven boundaries, ninety two run an opening partnership
with uzz. He fifty seven or forty thought it was
a T twenty travel ball.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Just oh what a beast.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
It was one way to get him out. It was
getting called on the boundary and that's exactly how we
got out. But he missed out and he could have
could you reckon? Big school?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
He should have knuckled down to it. I'll read some
comments later, like after he made fifty. I don't know
so because he would have made a hundred if he
just took a little bit easier.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah, he probably would have. But look at it, it's
one of those things. I think he just has to
play the way he wants to play, like what's worked
for him. It was funny though, on his dismissal. When
he first hit it, the commentator at the time, I'm
not sure who it was, was like, oh he smoked that.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
That's six. Yeah he did. Hi, its out, I take
it back, I take you back it out. Also, he
didn't even hit it clean at all, so I don't
know what the commentator was.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Well, talking about the commentary, by the way, she's pretty bad.
It's dead.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
It's very dead.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
There's no energy, was an enthusiasm. It's just like I
know you, like the game isn't allowing it because Australia,
like we're just dominated.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
For six hundred, but like still yeah, like they've got
as much energy as flak in the field. Talking about
them in the field, Oh day won They were shambles.
They think they dropped early. They dropped Smith early.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
They just they didn't get had out the LB. They
could have reviewed that, we could have reviewed. They've just
been so. I think they've stuffed up a couple of
drest decisions.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, they missed it on Uzzie again when he was on.
He ended up making two hundred.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Even when they got Uzzi out, I feel like, I
don't know, it might have just been relief from the keeper,
but the keeper didn't like really like, it didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Look like he thought he hit it.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
He just sort of grabbed the ball and then put
into his hands, put to his head, sorry, and then
the ball and knew it was out. But the keeper,
I don't know if he was relieved, but he was
just like, which I don't reckon that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, but how would you like, I'm not going to like,
in all fairness, I'm not going to react after the
bloke makes two hundred. The game's done on data appeal.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
But the way he looked relieved but also could be
perceived as oh, he's almost hit that.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Like yeah close again. Yeah yeah, no, I know what
you're saying.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah that, but they've just been I genuinely thought this
would be close. I mentioned before the show eight of
thirteen their last thirteen matches at goal they've won, and
then they do this in Australia, just absolutely dominant. Obviously,
we had seventy four overs of spin on day one,
very close to the same on day two. And then
a funny thing about the weather every single day at
(13:09):
the moment in goal, there's a thunderstorm at the end
of the day, like it's just it's just gonna happen
every day.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
That's their weather.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
At the moment.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Humidity is eighty two percent, crazy humid. It doesn't look
obviously that's sunny and very overcast.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
But jeez, today during the night it's ninety six percent.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Ooh, that's gonna be fun to sleep.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Oh, that would not be good. I feel like it'd
be a cool way trip da. We've seen them sitting
on like the castle. It looks beautiful. It's like four
yeah along the wall looks really sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah, they've got the Shane Warren stand up there on
the floor.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah. Yeah, it's it's actually yeah, it looks.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Like is this the best like two player trophy?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Well, people are bagging the crap out of it, but
I love it.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
It's got the offfee, the handle on the coffee and
then the hand on the leggie. As we're talking about
it the other day later, Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
We were talking about that as in like how many
fingers are gonna put onto ball?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Yeah, I don't remember talking about the.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Trophy they talking about it is a good trophy. I
like it, And honestly, a gol looks beautiful.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Big shout out to Gaul. I'd love a big shout
out to.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Go Yeah, yeah, I would love to send us touch.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, maybe day two will just quickly touch on. That
was his first ever double century. I was surprised when
I heard that. I thought for sure he would have
had a two hundred. But his best score before yesterday
was one ninety five, so awesome. He finished up on
Twildred and thirty two. Steve Smith one hundred and forty one.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Just not good enough.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Smithy, like, if someone's making two hundred, you've got to
make it. Least he was filming with himself. Oh I
left three hundred out there.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Honestly, he probably could have made that.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And then Cowarder and Smith two hundred and sixty six
run partnership. I just thought that these two are never
going out. We might see him bat for two and
a half days the second.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Second or third host Australian partnership ever, you know, usually
I think.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, yeah, I think it was second. I need to
double check that, but I didn't write that one down.
It so bloody awesome. And then Leo, I'll let you
have your moment for the next one.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
You called it everyone's making hundreds, but I'll give you
this one who made a hundred after.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
That, the little man from Leeds, Josh calling him, no,
what a man, Jesse. It didn't look like going out
until he did, didn't he.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Exactly exactly?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I've Leon loves Bethel, but yeah, yeah I have, But
yeah he was.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
He was superb.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
One hundred off ninety balls on debut. First what have
you written here? First on first hundred century on debut
since just twenty fifteen. That was against the Windys yep.
So yeah, just great to see. And yeah, look, our
selection in this Test match is paid off massively, moving
head to the top English great player of spin. What
(15:54):
I really liked is, look, we can say Sri Lanka
have been terrible, because they have, but we've had really
clear plans to spin. We're picking the right ball to sweep,
the right ball to come down to the pitch, right
ball to go back to and like we're also playing
different bowlers differently, Like we're playing trying to play vanders
off the back foot a lot because of his spin.
(16:15):
He's a big turn of the ball. J Suri off
the back foot too. And then with the.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Well we were talking about it.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
On day one. Yeah, on day one in particularly was
just throw it down.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Like day one, vanders I would say was their most
a like he didn't threaten as much, but he was
spinning in a mile compared to like the other guys
that were just as Tom Clark goes on the show.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
The other day would say, door open on day one.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
So the problem with Vandersay is he bowls a good
selection of balls, but then he always gives you the
boundary ball. His controller is a little bit.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
And I just think Australia they knew that they did,
they did their research and as I said that their
plans of this were exceptional and I think if that
if if they were to replicate that in the Indian environment,
I think we'd go very close to winning a series
there as well.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Just quite. I agree.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I'm looking at the I hadn't had a look at
how many runs the shrank of bowlers went for the
three bowlers one hundred and eighty two runs plus raise
the ball.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
That is good.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
The other thing that surprises me, why haven't they used
like Dan and Jay the silver the captain can bowler. Yeah,
he's all right, used combowls, some mediums, Like I know
they're not world beaters, but like give them a chop out.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
There's still them. They're still other three ings to go
in this series. I agree.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, even i'd mends at Bold. I think a couple
of tests to go, just a couple of okay, I
didn't know that a couple of twiks are, but legit,
they let me have another look at their bowlers. If
you're a pairis just take yourself off forty one the wicket.
At least the other two got three.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Has peris maiden one hasn't.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Josiah Bold eight.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Maidens because he bowled eight overs down the league side
to Smith and yes, just kicking them away.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, that was my mate I was talking to the
other night. He goes, I was I turned on the
cricket Smith's padding away every ball.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Fair well, we always.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Have a go at the team selections, right, we always, yeah,
like seem to find something that we don't like. But
it was good. I reckon, they've got a spot on
for this Test match.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah, even though I wanted Constance in there, and like
even hindsight now before I was like, look, they've picked spinners.
This is the first time, I reckon ever we've just
gone we're picking it for the conditions, not for the players.
Like obviously we had no Commings and a few and
Hazero and things like that. But even if all those
guys were fit, I still think we would have taken
one pace bowler. And we're actually thinking about the match
(18:54):
a bit more, which is which is good.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, for sure, I think we made two changes for
the next Test match and I'm looking ahead. But already
I reckon, give Travis Herd to chop out, give him
a rest. I've been Constants back in and then interesting
just confidence getting the face spin a bit more, because yeah,
I agree first at facing spin and then Stark probably
(19:17):
out for Scobo.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Oh I don't mind that, just to change it up.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
We'll see how even even McSweeney. Maybe he took a
ripper of a catch, didn't he he.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Did, Yeah, yeah, yeah, he took an awesome catch.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
It was a bit lucky, controlled it and then back
and then obviously just to finish off the wrap up
of day two, Ozzie's declared at six hundred and fifty four.
I don't know why it's always cool when the captain
just goes and then this brings him in.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I was like when a team declares.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Alex Carey was stiff forty yeah, moore on away from
a half century. Just let him get the fifty.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, that dad was very stiff actually, and Stark was
going off nine and off nineteen, just going at one
hundred strike great love to see that.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Obviously see hundred and fifty for the biggest ever Assie
score in Asia and the biggest overall for Australia in
Test match in Test matches since twenty twelve. So bloody
awesome effort to get that school. It was like like
a PlayStation game. The last time was twenty twelve against
India in Sydney. I believe I reckon that was the
test that Michael Clarke would have got three hundred hundred,
(20:20):
I reckon, but I'm not hundredent sure on that, but
I reckon that might have been that Test match.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
And then obviously Australia fifteen overs with the ball, we
go this wasn't this pitch?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Isn't that good? You idiots? Shlaka, what are you doing? Laka?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Are three for forty four, Star Kuneman and Lyone all
get a wicket and we just go, We're the greatest
in the world.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
We're gonna win the Test Championship. We're gonna We're gonna
win this.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
We're gonna win the Aussie women's ashes. Australia just love
them life.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Well.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
The thing is, though, so we do we have them
three for forty after they struggled so bad.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
But watching Srilanka bowl.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
There were wicket taking deliveries in their spells, just mixed
in with all the other crap they would issue in true.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Marcus ze pooh, he said two. We've said that about
that word about four times.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
But yeah, I yeah, I just thought Australia proved that
if you do consistently bowl in the right area, there
will be something for you.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
And yeah, we'll just see how it goes on and
tea and look, it's either going to be a massive
Australia win or draw this game. So yeah, we'll see
how we go.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Also, can we talk about that square leg field that
they had to Josh Ingliss Yeah, AVO three players directly
behind each other twenty meters apart and square so stupid.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, really the middle I did say that the.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Middle blue couldn't even see the batsman, like you couldn't
even see him that It was like, what is this
field that is?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
That was like trying to get a catch on, but
like if there's three guys there, there were so many
other gaps in the field and then that guy in
the middle is never going to get the ball.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
It was like two balls to go on the over
that had three blows directly behind each other, but you
know he's gonna ball short the Josh Singlis is what
he did, and then Joe Shinglers just left them.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, that's done.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
That reminds me of I saw a video yesterday of
Tony Greg trying to do the like setting the field
on their online like Channel nine things and he's trying
to set the field and move the lips. I don't
know if you guys have ever seen that.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Look it up. If Tony Greg trying to set the
field on there online, I.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Think I know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
And it's so funny. He puts one of the fielders
in front of another guy. Yeah, you guys are.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Like up each other's asses, and then Richardond goes, oh,
what's he doing there?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
And it's like the best thing ever, so clever. Want
to check that out.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
But that reminds me of that because it's just a
field where there's three guys behind it, like.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
What we should have that for our live streams. We're
just describing the field in the whole Hurricain Sunday game
and we're just we're just a field they should do
and this is what they have, just like an umbrella
around the back, all right.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I reckon that's enough for the first two days. Day
three starts today for us at three point thirty. We're
very excited. I'll be right at the end of the day,
but hopefully it's just good during most of the day
before we continue all things Ozzie Cricket make sure to
check out tab Touch for their sports markets which cover
every cricket match this season.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Got the Touch download tab Touch today.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
I think is this a bit you really want a
place for free confidential support called one eight hundred eight
five eight eight five eight or visit Gambling help online
dot org dot au. All right, lad, it's a bit
of a different one I've chucked in here, but we're
going to rank some ossie batsman. I might give it
to you two to do and then I'll give my
opinion on it. But there is four ossies now because
of Steve Smith the other day, whoever made ten thousand
(23:33):
tests runs? Four ossie men that have made ten thousand
test runs?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Do we want to go through?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I'll read them out and then do we want to
discuss what order we want to put him in?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Or do you guys want to do it separately?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Now?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
How can we do it together? What do you we'll
do it together?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I feel like we're going to have similar answers to
at least two or three of them. So first off,
obviously we've got the great Ricky Punter Ponting thirteen three
hundred and seventy eight. We've got ab Alan border with
eleven one hundred and seventy four, so two thousand, two
hundred less.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
So that's an awesome effort from punter.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
We've got Steve Tuger war at ten thousand, nine hundred
and twenty seven, and then smute Steve Smith at ten thousand,
one hundred and forty.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I love how he just.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Got over ten thousand and now he's at ten thousand,
one hundred and forty. That's that's an alpha move right there.
So we've got Ponting Border war In Smith four of
the absolute greats of our game.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Who we put in number one? Or do we want
to start at number four?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Well?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Start number four? S Who are we putting fourth? This
is the toughest spot, I think. I think it's out
of Warring Border. Yeah, probably war and four.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Let's still yeah, that makes sense more than four Warren four.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Paul Tuger, Yeah, he can go number four, and then
we are we going ab and number three.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I'm leaning Smith three.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's a flipper. It's honestly because.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Smith will overtake Ab I think in runs scoring and
that's when he'll overtake him.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
On my list, I'm going to go, so Steve Smith
three d Smith.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Okay, give me I'll give you something. Let me cook, cook, cook,
let me cook, and I'll help you here.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
He's had forty one less matches at the moment than
Alan Border Steve Smith.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
So forty one he's cooked. Surely you're going to put
Steve Smith in number two.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Good point. The other thing I'm thinking is like ab
was playing in an era where weren't really a thing.
He was a hard man. He told Craig McDermot to
get on the next flight at home if you didn't.
But he was also facing the best bowls that cricket
has ever seen was Herschel, Gibbs and the like, not
(25:44):
to mention Lock England's balls were pretty spot on as well.
So wow.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
The other thing persuaded me.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, Smith also averages fifty six whereas all the other
guys average fifty one or less. Is that that might
help a little bit. Smith went put his average up
by four or five just from this Test match, So
pretty awesome effort there. He's got a punting as the
most sixes, but that's because he played a lot more matches.
But yeah, so we're going Smith at two and then
Punting at one.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yes, I think that. I think so so punter Smith,
Border War poor.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
That's that's a bloody good, yeah, bloody good.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Imagine that is your top four or like in your
in your middle order or something you could pull.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
You could all fit him in. You can probably all
fit him in.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, yeah, I don't mind that. Actually, you gotta have
Punting at one. He's got the most runs. He's he's
just an absolute legend, great captain.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
But Smith.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
If Smith passes him Monday in like test runs, is
he better than Punting? But we don't. No, fair enough.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I still I don't think so he would have.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
If he didn't have those years off I.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Reckon both very good catches as well, but I feel
Punter has just got such a crooked brain. I could
listen to him talk called. I agree, Yeah, there's a smudge.
No offense, not so much. I'd rather listen to punt
all day.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
But yeah, but yeah, legends who have made ten thousand
runs and yeah, why not? So we got yeah, Punter Smith.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Border War. I like it all right.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
That's our ranking of Ossie Batsman. Let's get into the
question slash fan comments to finish it up. We've got
some fun ones here. We'll start with Instagram. This guy
loves a comment and he's going his fan base at
Sexy Sammy constantly scoring runs, constantly with a k of course,
sexy Sammy. He's talking about Constants has been treated so
unfairly and has been robbed. What do we think, lads?
(27:37):
He has been a little bit robbed, but he is
a young guy. He'll be back in the team.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Yeah, he'll be fine. He's reckon.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, well we made the problem of handing so many
people the opening sport. Someone someone has to drop out
because he is going to keep his place in Asia.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
So yeah, and Tram said, just proved that it.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Worked, So yeah, I think I honestly, I think he
came back in for the second one.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Yep, I like it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Next one on Instagram at tomosally dot too. This one,
I will give some context. I may have put Stralanka
to win for Marcus's tip, but he wasn't around.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Marcus knows nothing about cricket. Australia number one. Is this
your mate, Marcus?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah? It is actually ye mate. Jeez, that's poor form
putting me the tipshial anchor, making me look like an
absolute I feel as Andy.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Tate would say, yeah, yeah, you obviously want to tip
to Australia.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
But I genuinely thought the match was going to be close.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I've got a bit close, Yeah, because anker have actually
been pretty sold buddy. Next we'll go on to his Facebook.
This one's about Travis Head with his fifty seven runs
opening the batting. Pat Gallica says, a great start, but
in the words of Ian Chapple, he needed to go
on with it a huge hundred gone begging sort of
what we talked about before.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
We agree.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Yeah, I agree, I.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Agree, but with his aggressive nature, he's always yeah, prone
to getting out like that.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Yeah, probably didn't need to. Yeah, before the match.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Fifty seven runs as an opener, you take that every
day the week, right, Yeah, especially of forty balls. This
is also on Facebook on Smith's ten thousand runs. A
lot of people were saying, congratulations, what a legend. He's
right up there with the best.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Da da da dah.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Then we had some negative ones as well, which I
wanted to read out.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
First.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
One Paul Wintle says should have got it against India.
Lowell should have.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Should have it, would have wanted to as well.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
So yeah, he said in an interview he wasn't thinking
about it, but what do you guys think.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Surely he was in the back of his mind. Yeah,
it would have been It would have been a little bit.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Honestly, I don't know why. We just didn't drop him
until the Ashes next year at the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
So I love that.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
And then another one about it, Frank you'es he's still
a cheat. Never forget I don't know as forget three,
he's still a cheap. I don't know if Frank's a
palm or not. But he has commented some stuff stuff before.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Shout out fray.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
We love any type of comments. But I don't know
about that. He was a scapegoat, mister Steve Smith. Mister Smith,
I think so. Still, it's got nothing to do with
his batting. What happened, So it's the call of his
batting is still there. So yeah, very nice. And then
on YouTube. Don't want to read this one out the
next two hours. Yeah, you can read this one out, Marcus,
(30:28):
because it's about your dad's bat.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Oh jeez, here we go. Dump dumpty dumpty donut. Trump
is all.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
