Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm your host.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Lea McCahon also knows the stats guy. Where is Marcus Barzano.
He's missing in action. He's had a big weekend and I.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Don't know if he's recovered.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Do you want to intro me or I will intro you.
But I'm missing Marcus more than you being here. We're
also he's turned up. He's also at a big weekend.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
How are you going, Leo?

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Last weekend and it's going to be a fun Monday
doing the Cricket Show. Can I just say that we
obviously know Marcus sad.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Some people are like come back Gerald out is the biggest.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
That is the biggest in out discrepancy.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Ever, that is a huge.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
In for this one.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Leo producing here.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
No I met Marcus out Gerald. That is a huge
win for the Cricket Today team. That's a huge win
for the fans, just for everyone, huge win for mankind.
But I will say on behalf of Gerald as well.
You did an amazing Joe the last Coek, so so
well done. Mate, it's just a solo clap beer.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
That's all right, No, only what anyways, feel every play
and be right in the action throughout a massive Aussie
summ of cricket with tap touch. It's almost over the
summer of cricket. There, it's not sort of no because
we go to Sri Lanka.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
That's that's that's a choker block, Big Bash.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Fine, we do we do?

Speaker 3 (01:18):
We still have the Sri Lanka tests, yes, and the women's.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Ashes very tru Actually, yeah, what am I talking about?
Thank you, thanks for just putting my mind at He's there,
big show. As always, we're going to chat about quick single.
There's a lot of cricket news, some BBL talking points.
Are the finals they're here, they start tomorrow night in
the Big Bash.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Somehow the bloody stars made it. We're both renegades.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Somehow.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
We'll get to it. We'll get to it. We'll get
to it before we start.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Be sure to get right around the show on Spotify,
Apple Podcasts, subscribe to the YouTube channel.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Usually Marcus's job to look at it.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
I reckon, we could have hit our three K goals.
You reckon, because I haven't looked at it since the
last show.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
This is our three key subscribers special.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Everybody, I don't really think it is quickly don't understand
a little bit of let's go three k. This is
our subscribers special. We wanted to get to three K
by the end of the summer. I've already got it.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
If you like this video, stats guy will send you
like a cameo style. It'll only cost you twenty dollars.
That's that's a bug. So if they like the video,
they've got to pay twenty dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Feel like one of my mates will do that, but
hopefully they're not watching this one watching.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
No, he won't do it. I can shout out today.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
No, No, he's definitely not watching anyways.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, be sure to get so keep that to stride goal.
Let's go four k.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Next four k has to be the next three five
four K by the start of the summer because we
go to an off season stuff. I think it's a
little bit, a little bit way, a little bit away.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
But we've got champions trophy.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
You got it. There's actually more cricket than usual this year. True,
so we'll talk about that and get around all the
social cricket today. A leo is pumping up, pumping out
all the socials and he's pumping up. There we go

Speaker 2 (02:59):
You all right, Gerald's missed it.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
That was the longest intro ever I know. Now we're
going to the shortest quick single ever.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
No, now, people's segment quick single. Here we go.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
I'm going to keep calling of that that is in
my nightmares. You're saying that quick Yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Gonna be your my ring turn. I recond quick single,
all right.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
First one off off the top of the rank. Steve
Smith is having elbow scans from a bble injury. He
apparently is going to be still heading to the Buy
training camp for Australia, but he's a little.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Bit of a worry for the Striker series. What do
you think about Earl? That's not good because he's in
good form.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Do we know the severity of the elbows of said
elbow injury?

Speaker 1 (03:34):
No, So he got scans last night. I was talking
to him last night. He said it's triply all right.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Left, but well it's nine days away album injury.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, I think you might miss the first Test. But
the sounds of it and.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Then it's not the worst thing, No, it's not the
best thing.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
He's been good, he's been.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
We could get a little bit funky with our batting
lineup though, ye, a little bit of fun with it.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
We could because this match doesn't matter towards the World
Test Championship, which we've talked about.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Well what if we get significantly significantly behind the over
eight and we cop a p Well, okay, Spinach will.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Be fine on that.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
If Smith misses, Cummens is missing, Yeah is that?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Who does that bring? Had Trouble as captain, that'd be
pretty cool. That mean everyone's going to be gone.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
His philosophy is how many slips should I have? I
might just put him there under the lid. I love it.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, that could be pretty fun if Troubles captain next one.
In terms of that as well as Coonerman had surge
on his thumb. He will eventually join the squad, but
he's not going to be going to the training camp.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
So he's not playing first tat well they're.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Saying he still might, but I'd be playing Todd Murphy
because he's obviously healthy.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
What do you Murphy should play in that case? I
think Coonerman if he was fit, I'd pick him over
Murphy though, because he left murphy right arm. We already
have gazz for the right arms and.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah that's the word.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, So I really like him. I hope he plays
because the left end right and like you said, but
he might miss the first as as well. So we've
got a few injuries, which is a bit we're not
used to that, but that's okay.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Next one in the quick single.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Channel seven. This one's actually pretty big. Channel seven has
the rights to the Sri Lanka Versus Australia series. It's
the first non ASHES series on free to wear so
like international match overseas since nineteen ninety seven in Australia.
So that's good for people that don't have K and
foxt We love a bit of K and Fox Sports.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
But yeah, really good to see. Yeah, good full world.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Good for world cricket because Channel seven apparently to do
with the really good numbers over summer, I think no
one's going there's gonna be less people interested in Sri
Lanka than India obviously, Yeah, but there was so much beef.
Hopefully there's a bit of banter and beef like the
India series. Do you reckon we could have a bit
a bit of that. I reckon, Yeah, yeah, why not?

Speaker 2 (05:48):
And then the last one, I'm trying to get.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Through a year. You read this, I'm it's awesome.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Peter Siddle, the Banana Man. He's an Aussie legend. He's
forty years old there and he just signed another contract
for the Malbourne Stars. The Malvin Stars are in the finals.
You you didn't even want him in the Stars team
and now he's on another contract.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well, he gets wicked good, gets weakened, says more about
the BBL batting than it does him. No offense to
Peter Sill was a fantastic bowler. Yeah, one of the
most probably one of the most underrated Australian battles.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
There we go, thank you, but he's come on, he's
forty years old.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
He can't be bowling economically in what's meant to be
a high pressure, high entertaining environment that is the Big Bash.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Well, you're saying that he's too good, or you're saying
he bowls. He does open on other than last night.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
No, I'm saying he Yeah, I'm saying he shouldn't be
bowling that. Oh why what do you mean why? I
just explained it was if the Big Bash is meant
to be an elite competition, we can't.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Have a forty year old performing performing.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
You're saying that it's not good, it's not to the
level it should because needs to be better.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Maybe the forty old is just really good.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
He's really good.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
He was really good.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
No, right, he bought one hundred and forty eight clicks
last night, one hundred and forty.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Eight per hour. What the hell? He's forty that's pretty.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
How old is a gym?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
People don't know? Manage? Sorry, you're not your moster. You
don't talk to him? How is he? I'm actually not sure?

Speaker 3 (07:17):
So what's he doing?

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Is he's forty eight clicks?

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah? What is he doing when he got three stumpings
in pub cricket last week?

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah? Shout out. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Were you twenty three or five?

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Oh, very not like that. Peter sitles not doing that.
I think he could in pub cricket. I don't know,
we don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
I never know.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
No, we might we might have organize.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
That Peter Sidle if you're watching, I'm sorry and.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Cricket even though you just bagged all right, that's the
quick single. I don't know if that was had.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
This is the longest show ever.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Oh my god, Relax mate, it's just because Gerald's back.
It's just a momentous occasion.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Alright.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Bb OL Final Round talking points. The Big Bash regular
season is done. First one quickly go through this because
last time I was watching.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
I've got some points.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Time we go Sydney Smash. Unfortunately it was a washout
on was it Friday night?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, Friday night.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
So that was a bit of a bummer because obviously
some really good players in that match.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Six is really fun to watch. The Thunder have been
really some.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Really good players, but some really great internet celebrities.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Big Boshley, oh that Big Big John.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
I forgot the other guy's name that went yeah yeah,
how good they wracked up? They were Sydney Sixers fans
and I think I saw a meat pie review from them.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
He's been Big John obviously lives in Is he living
here because he's been in Australia like so many times.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Does he have a little private jet?

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Maybe he's got money.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Does he how many how many falls?

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Bosh airlines?

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, bosh bath. He's got a business five just sixty
three thousand falls.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Okay, he's big time.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, big boss, big, big boss big. They didn't say
that in the caption. So that you've done that, I've
seen a few other people say it.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
I'm actually some of my made that big.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Do you like them? Or the guys that go boom
and do better? Who's better? Really? Big John booms? Just American? Yeah? True,
I don't think I'm gone. Is it actually gone?

Speaker 3 (09:03):
There?

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Officially gone? Is it actually yeah? Where have you been? No?
I knew, I knew it was I knew it was
on the way out, but I didn't know it was gone.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
When did it go?

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Like like yesterday, I'm pretty sure it's gone.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
That isn't homelessness has gone up?

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah? And then then Trump's trying to say that he'll
bring it back.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
To our one percent American audience.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
We still have it so sucked and then clicked off
the video.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Anyway back to the Big Bash, because let's go to
the Renegades.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Renegades they finally do something where our beloved Renegades they're like, oh,
we can't really make the finals.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Anymore. So we'll go really.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Well for a day and then now, Yeah, but who
stepped up finally?

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Oh my god, go on, you could say it. No,
I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Say we love the rooster on the show we did.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
I don't know if we love him anymore. Actually, I
want him on to come on the show, so we
still love him. Jake Fras and we ninety five or
forty six balls the first score he's made I think
above twenty three the entire season. Yeah, that is a
big worry because it's the last game of the season.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
But he was still awesome.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
It's worrying that when the pressure is off, he's like,
I'm going to do something.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Oh, he was awesome. He was hitting bombs.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
He actually was about a meter away from making a
sentry because he hit I don't know if he saw
how he got He got caught right on the boundary.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
So if he had that hit that six, he would
hit one hundred.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
I still don't know with him. It's obviously a fantastic
innings and well done to him.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
He's obviously a great playoff.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
He had a sinker, and he's just still a bit
hit and missed. Like he's still like well, obviously, like
he doesn't really rotate the strike.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
He's done a smart cricket.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
He runs hard between the weekends. I'll give him. I'll
give him that. His defense is still questionable, especially at
an od I level.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
If they want to open yeah, I think he's just
twenty twenty of them.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
I feel like he's gone. He's more it's definitely more
legs side than off side. I feel like there's just
still I still have question marks over phrasing. Me go, Yeah,
fantastic innings, but I don't know if you can make
a career off because at least with Maxi, Maxi has
max been three sixty degree player. Maxi knows when to
take sing whereas phrase Mak's league side a lot, isn't Heah,

(11:13):
Maxi is so much more like situational than Jake Fraser McGirk.
He know he can play the situation better than anyone
was Where's Frase McGirk is like.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
This balls either six or yeah the backyard cricket, what
is that? So? Where did that got that come from?

Speaker 1 (11:27):
I'm looking at his stats. So he made ninety five
on the weekend. How many did he make in his
first nine innings of the season, he made ninety three.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
That is so he's average before the weekend was ten
this season and his top score was it doesn't say
twenty seven twenty six.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
I said twenty three before twenty six.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
So that's the worry. You can just take that last
game out and he's had a stinker of a season.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
He still has. Yeah, so no good.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
And then the Renegades missed auded finals with probably one
of the best Renegades teams on paper in a long
time and they've missed out in finals.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
I don't know at the start of the season, and
then I saw them.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
I still agree with that.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
No, it's not okay, it's not bring back Tom Cooper
and bow webster Tom Goop.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
But it was all right.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
It was Netherland's legend. He did play for the Midlands,
that's right.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Next one, what everyone's talking about in the Big Bash
world the Stars taking on the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes come
to the GM, the Stars get the job done to
make the finals for the first time since twenty ninety
and they went.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
They were on a five game win streak.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Later they lost the first five games and everyone's like,
this is the worst Big Match team ever.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
And they make the finals.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
I as a Renegades fan, I don't like the Stars. No,
you've got to give them, got to give him credit,
a huge credit. Yeah, because you look at the teams
below them and they are the fourth best team, like
Scorches Strikers. Again, no, none of them. At any stage
did I go they should be playing final?

Speaker 2 (12:48):
I agree?

Speaker 3 (12:48):
I agree, heat heat, bowling heat.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
I thought he would make it and then go really
well because they're just so good in last coups, they've
been so good in finals. The fact that they heat, well,
we're going to talk about that later. But the fact
that they didn't make it pretty crazy. I wanted to
touch on the actual game, Maxi, MAXI does it again? Yeah,
seventy six or thirty two, just unbelievable. But the only
thing I'll say is the Hurricanes didn't try as hard

(13:13):
as they because they because they already made the finals
the top spot, they didn't even try.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Do you want to know how do I work this?

Speaker 2 (13:20):
And you yeah? Gone? No.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
I was just going to say, like, the reason what
helped the Stars a lot that is maybe flying under
the radar a little bit, is the Sydney Smash being
washed out.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Oh, true. Do you want to work it out? Why
that run rate?

Speaker 3 (13:37):
No, a little bit, A little bit, not really, but yes,
it's something little with the ladder because that game getting
rained out meant Hurricanes were locked in for top spot
to play a weaker team.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yes, so they didn't like that week of a team,
but they only one o they didnt bring back, but
they bowled a lot of our.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Missed the bean the big seventh, sixth eleven. I love that.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
His name is Marcus Bean and the corn him mister
Bean on the He's probably caught that his whole wife.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
By the way, Yeah, there's probably a lot of people
that have that.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
We need to be more original. Well, he's what do
you go, mister bean? I will work that pinto.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
We're going live. What what other beans are Kidney? There
we go, we've got something. Yeah, Jesus A crowded today.
That's not good.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
But in terms of that, they yeah, Chris Jordan boll
three overs, didn't bowlies four one. He bowled won because
he had a bit of a sore groin. But bet
it wasn't that bad. They're just like trying to put
him on it. But so during the while I was
going I was like, oh, they're not even trying. But
then the Stars did play well. Max he had seventy six.
They scored two hundred and nine eight. I don't care
who you're batting against. That is just an awesome f

(14:46):
at the mcg and then Steacidy Legacy game, well, Stey
Legacy had he killed in the Legacy Series.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Legacy season mate.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
I thought Mark Stickety was the most average Bali he
always gets your one wicket.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
You were Marcus thought he was like thirty seven thirty.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
I thought it was older. He's thirty. Good on him.
He's in the prime of his life at the moment.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
He got four four against the Gates and he call
up question, well, he might be the t twenty point
of the year was big.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Let me give you the bowling line up for the
Champions Trophy.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Can we go surely? Steackyy? There we go?

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Sit all yep, Paris No, it's all starts.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, Oh my.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
God, he's I don't like, I don't rate him, but
Steacky he's actually I've actually, yeah, he's really impressed me.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
So good on Mark.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
He took three for last night the Hurricanes. Yeah, they
bought some of the younger guys. They still finished top spot,
as we'll get into later. In the starts charge into
the finals five wins in a row. Can they can
they cause of your upsets in the finals? Well, the stats,
so they can the stats how they can, but their
history of choking says they come.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Minds of stats go on, Leo say they tune in
to find out after this outbreak a break down the video.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
What I was going to say before that is the
minds of Leo and so that's I had them seventh.
So the starts, so maybe we don't want to talk
about that.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
And Marcus, yeah, I think actually three of the four
teams we all had in the bottom four. Yea, but
this year is Marcus and have six's might have actually
got completely wrong. Didiot scorches he had renegades up there,
he had to strike.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
We have to talk about this on Wednesday when he's back.
Let me have a quick look. We have a look
at that on the song. You keep hosting a look.

Speaker 1 (16:28):

Speaker 2 (16:55):
There we go? I've got the fact, you got the facts.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
So we're going to continue with some BBL chats we
have predict at the start of the season.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I reckon we go through that when he's back on Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
But just a quick should I just say he's what
his ladder was, all right, and then we can go
through ours on Wednesday. It sounds good, Marcus is maybe
I'm fourteen ladder. Look, we all, we all haves, we
all have mistakes, we always all terrible, we all we
all sucked at this. He had the scorches first winning
it yep, the Striker's second being the runner up.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
They both didn't make it, and the heat third but
didn't make it.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
He had renegads four.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
That's what.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Oh no, that is awful.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
To be fair, that's not a bad ladder, and we
we just he should have.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
The Sixers in there, the Strikers being in there. No,
that's just his Adelaide buyas because he's from Adelaide. Yeah,
well he's not from Adelaide, but his family is like,
that's the same thing. Yeahue, I'm from Scotland.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
And that is that true. I'm from it.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Something fun from Italia having fun on this show.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
That accident anymore, I don't know. We'll see I could
do because I'm Italian.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Alright, BBR Finals teams, let's just quickly touch on it.
Who made the finals from here?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Obviously? The Stars were in fourth?

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Who made the finals just the opposite of what I
just said, the opposite of predictions.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Stars in fourth. Thunder surprised a lot. They have a
really good young team, the Thunder.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
So they finished third. Yep.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Davy Warner was just amazing. Was he did he end
up coming first in the runs? I think in the season,
you don't know. I think he continues to do the finals,
but regular season I'm pretty sure he did. Second was
the Sixers. They just I thought that Scotches and the
Sixers would always be in there, but no Sixers are
into second.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Hurricanes, the horror chains they were with the big gold change.
They finished first.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
They finally had a really good BBL season, So I'm
barracking for them. I'm going for them in the season
because they've never won it. The Stars and never the
Stars have never won it. I'm going for them.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Who are you going to save?

Speaker 3 (18:45):
For the Hurricanes as well? Exact same reason.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
I've been down there a few times, watched some Hurricanes games.
I saw Darren Sammy ages Ago win it off his
own bat one, so like four when.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
I was about.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Welcome back Gerald, Oh my god, this is the craziest show. Yeah,
the Hurricanes.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah. Do we think though, what who do we predict
for the fire?

Speaker 1 (19:09):
I think we both predicted Hurricane sixers and we still
went in towards that. Yeah, even though the Stars are charging,
Stars are charging there. Well now they're the most informed
team because they beat the most informed.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Team, Hurricanes.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
And the Hurricanes were on the second longest streak in
Big Bash history, the one before the most ever was
eight I believe, and then the Hurricanes were on seven,
so they were trying to equal the longest streak and
they sort of crap the bet at the MG.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
That's all right, all right, there we go.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
That's BB our finals teams. Let's get into the bbur
first final. I was say I was gonna say quck
fight for They never quick fire?

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Are they?

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Hurricanes taking on the sixers in the qualifier. They always
have funny names.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
This one's the qualified Ninja. It's a ninja stadium. What
a name? So you ninja stadium in Hobart.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Hurricanes obviously flying off first first and loudow and sixes
into second.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
What do we think it's going to go?

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Game six is out of the finals? Experience newborn.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
It's weird though.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
They've got very experienced players, but not finals experience like
they've obviously got Nathan Allis Raley, like Chris Jordan, Tim David,
who else?

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Stand Like? Who you shouldered up?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
I'm not I love that the carny mister Bean, but
Marcus Bean is not Chris Jordan.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Hanging around again. We're talked about this on Friday show.
No one knows what he is because I've heard so
many people say he's going to the one of the
other twenty comes and then he just he keeps hanging around.
He's like he said he got injured, and I.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Think he did get it. He didn't get injured. They
didn't get injured. Now Nathan is changing by the second.
I don't know what I'm talking about. Something else.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Chris Jordan bowled through his last night. He was only
sposed to ball too to rest him for the finals.
So I'm guessing he's playing in the finals because that's
what mcdermot's okay, So you can lock in Jordan. He's
got a bit of experience in Tea twenty. Nathan Alice
is a really good captain. I like how he's going.
He's got experience. Hopefully he's Growin's okay. I think they
were resting.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Meredith has been very very It's been very good.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Mitchellen is probably the most informed player in the in
the country.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
The probably you have Peter yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
missed him and Paddy dow Ki.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Chowdery has been awesome, hasn't he.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
David might have to chip in with a few off years.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
And then the Sixers.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
The fifth bowler could be a worry though.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, true, true, And then the sixers side. It's just
the same team every year making making the finals.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
The Hurricanes. I'm sick of these sixes.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
You got.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Jordan Silk is doing his thing in the field, you've
got a missing some some really good bo Dwarshes has
been Unbelievable's one of the best all rounders.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Yeah, but they're just boring.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah, just have a bit of fun, all right. So
we're both on the chains of the hurricanes.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Well I think look, head says six his heart says hurricanes.
I'm gonna say head says h. And they're saying the
sixes because I don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Just give me who actually thinks cut me off?

Speaker 3 (21:52):
Sixes?

Speaker 2 (21:52):
I reckon, you haven't slept all weekends, So.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
You slept, You've just I got just under eight hours.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Oh that's that's more than me. All right, super Coach Wash,
I'm just trying to get through this show.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
I need to look at my speah, so do I?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Super Coach Wash the last round of Super Coach So
a round nine, we're done.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
No more Super Coach content, which is a little bit sad.
Is sad because we had a lot of continent last
couple of weeks, sorry, last couple of months.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
I don't I don't think I should be allowed to
save my score on the internet.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
You were the best at predicting things in the video
we talked about this, yes, and you didn't always put
them in your tem.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Because I would do the video and I would say, oh,
this is makes sense, and then I just couldn't. I
couldn't get it done. Like I don't have the money.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
I just can't.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
I can't work it out.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
I should be able to use your actual money in
the in the team.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
I know what you should be able to do. And
I said this to you. I think in the in
our chat, because I've got six trades left in BBL
Super Coach, they should carry over to AFL Super Coach.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I agree.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
And instead of starting the season with what is it,
thirty six trades you get I got forty two?

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Suck? You got six trades in news?

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah, because I did. I did miss two weeks. I
did miss two weeks one week.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
What did you end up on in the overall?

Speaker 3 (22:58):
No, I can't say that on the internet.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
I just can't. I have missed that show where we
looked at your CIVI coachs go and just going to
stop laughing.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Come on, I got four hundred and eighty nine. I
ranked in the top seven percent.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, well what about overall? Overall? I'm saying, yeah, just
gone bh.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Okay, Oh my god, oh my god, I'm on BB
at home in the middle. Yeah, that's my total score.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, ranked your total score. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Overall, ranked in the top thirty one percent.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
That's nice. Horrible.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Oh, the season rank seventeen eighty seven.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
And you're in the top thirty percent.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
That's all.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
It's the same as footy, mate, it's just confusing.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
It's definitely not I was in.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
The top eleven percent, and I'm pretty sure Marcus would
have been top nine to eight percent because of his
huge score in the last round. He got like seven hundred.
All right, Now, what do you mean, let'supposed to be
in the civic coach.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
I'd rather be ranked terribly and have a legacy round
like I did last round.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
You did have a legacy round.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
I got a shout out on Podmasters. Go give them
a follow on Twitter. They do great work.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
That's true. So yeah, sucked in. I got shout out
in round one to two. Thank you very much. I'm
pretty sure. So long Yeah that was a while ago.
All right, that's enough.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Still still on hold on?

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah yeah, what a long hold? No, we miss job?
All right? Last one? What a crazy show? This is?

Speaker 1 (24:17):
No Marcus and it just goes off the rails. Question
slash fan comments. We love doing this, so I would
like you to read them out later. You haven't said
as much as you want.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Me to talk more, you can, Okay, So from YouTube? Yeah,
pretty Kumar, I'm not going to say that. He always
comments on I really want either Stars or Hurricanes to
win this year. And as an Indian fan, can you
share your thoughts on the new BCC rules after the
loss of Border Gavascar Trophy. Yes, we actually did chat

(24:46):
about this on was it the show on Wednesday or
Monday last week?

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I think about the last week.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
A few viewers probably wouldn't have heard that all the
players wives and girlfriends are being banned from a certain
amount of time with them.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Yeah, they've got lim compared to past series, which we
thought it was a little harsh.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah, I don't want to speak for you.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Sorry, that's said. That was very men of me, true,
it was.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, I thought it was a bit harsh, just like
they're not because their girlfriends were there like.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
That is that is a very old fashioned view.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
So yeah, it's a very old fashion view that the
yeah b CC I was saying or whether they're saying
like I can't even talk now that they would distraction. Distraction, yes,
father is and they lost. There is nothing to do
with why they lost. And especially I think it would
help if they're families or partners.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, if I was touring away from my family for
forty five Yeah, like that would suck. Like it's more
motivational to have them. Yeah, it would make me play
better and make me happier.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Exactly, I agree, So good comment by pretty actual. Wouldn't
one here in his opinion on that. And then the
other thing he said was he wants either the Stars
of Hurricanes to win. They're the only two teams in
Big Back history a Renegade's fan, I'd want the start,
say probably, but both these teams haven't won a title before,
so it'd be good to see a new new winner.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Which is which is good to see next one? You
can get going.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Andrew underscore tea hashchat not hashtag. I was just gonna say,
what am I gonna say? Friend of the show. In
the BBL preview, you guys predicted the Hurricanes the misfinals.
What did they do to exceed expectations and what can
other clubs learn from their success?

Speaker 2 (26:23):
That is a swear that is a great It is
a bloody great.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Credit is bloody great. Allowed to say that, yeah, we
we were wrong and last year I put the heat
to finish eighth and they won. Yeah, and I own that.
I could have not said that and just slipped it
under the race. True, but I own my mistakes on
this show.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
I'll respect I'll respect that. What do they do exceed expectations?

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Two words. Mitch mitch Owen has stepped up. Last season,
he was sort of he had a few good games.
This season, he was their most consistent player. He was unbelievable,
even got a few weeks with the ball. Amazing batsman.
And then the other thing was I think all their
experienced players sort of had a more consistency. Nathan Alis
had a bit more consistent, Chris Jordan had a bit
more consistency. Even Tim David remember last season he was

(27:05):
really bad. Back into the season, Tim David's been really good.
I think that even their older players just been a
bit more consistent. And they're keeping it simple. They haven't
really changed the batting order. They've they've Chawdrey stepped up,
so everyone just sort of stepped up at the right moment.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Can we have a new podcast it's just Mitch Owen based. Yeah,
more work for Gerald. I think he'd be on board.
He loves Mitchell.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Remember how we're going to be a Jake Fraser McGirk
podcast and michell and podcast.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Mitch Owen is the future of Just Australian and it
will be in the tea.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
He actually might be in the next team soon. Yeah,
because he was has come. Yeah, because he can both
for you over to don't mind that.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
But just on the hurricane Yep, it's it's a bit
rude to say this, but I don't think their teams
that good.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
I think I think they are because they're very T
twenty specific. I think they plays with overall team.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
They made slight changes like moving Owen Chadur getting him in,
backing backing them in and they didn't change too much,
which worked, and they've got they've got great players.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
But I think they're playing one.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
The reason I didn't rate them is that they never
really threaten. They never really sort of they finally have
make finals. They are always like a six to seven
team and yeah, everything was just clicking for him, wasn't it.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Like it's similar to the heat last year. Their team
on paper outside of like Johnson and Barlett, is not
that good. And then they won the whole thing and.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
They the Hurricanes nailed the important moments yep, like in
close games against the Reneades against the Heat they just
they won the big moments and it's little moments, but
they go a long way.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
And teach look at the analysis. So here's how you know.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
I'm getting more tired, more analytical for half.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
That's too long.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Last time on TikTok, I'll rate it out because you're tired.
Moy's jamil on TikTok.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
He says Josh Inglis got a lot of chances, but
his performance isn't up to Mark and Jake Fraser McGirk
hasn't proven himself, so Smith deserves a chance at opening
in twenty Stiff on English, I think that's very stiff
on English. I think it's because I said, well, Josh
English open, so I agree. His performance doesn't indicate that
he's an open, so we can. I can agree with
Moy's on that one. JFM is just not getting back

(29:07):
in the side until at least next year.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Now time to learn Chinese, buddy. I don't like over
there ever know of the Chinese Super League not yet.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
There probably will be one. There's a bloody US League, MLS, European,
the European.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
That week's so funny. So yeah, do we agree with
moys Smith deserve a chance? I reckon he does.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Yeah, I think Smith.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Who else is there? Matt Short is still he will
still be there. He's never performed for Australia.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
I think Smith over Short, Mitchen Yeah, actually yeah, but
you can put three or Smith.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Mitch a team of the tallest all rounders. Yeah, there
would be no gaps in the field.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
That's true. Buckets. That is such a good idea.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
All right, so who got Mitch Allen? This is in
no particular order. Jack Edwards, cam Green when he's fit,
bo Webs will Mitch marsh will South for all.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Rounders that is not bad. I don't have a spinner though,
whoever need? Oh imature ball spin.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Connolly Connolly all all rounders, but they know they have
to be over two hundred and tenimeters. Oh that's the rule.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
That's the rule.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
My website must there you go? Yeah, bug, all right,
there we go. That's a pretty happy way to end it.
I reckon, I'm gonna. I'm calling Mitchell and Mitchell and
love I can get him on the pod. That is
our raim for the next twenty four hours, I will

ten k?

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Test phones, Well, what we got two weeks to Oh
