Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome back to the Cricket Today show, brought to you
by tab Touch who bring you daily sports markets covering
every BBL match so you never missed a beat. I'my
host Leam mccallhon, also known as the Stats Guy. I
have been in tennis mode lads, but I'm back in
cricket mode, joined as always by Marcus Barzany. You going,
Marcus fight.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Very good, very good. Good results for the stars, mean
vinals now, so get up and about it within the thing.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I cannot believe that's happening. We've got the status Renegades
fan in Australia. Hey you going there? Well?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I am sad, but not because of the Renegades, because
snats guy you you mentioned it at the top, you
say you're back in cricket mode. I think that is
a blatant lie. I reckon this week you.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Spent a total of three hours on cricket. Yeah, well
admitted it. I don't see anything different than usual, did you?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You don't you don't, don't. You don't care about this show?
You care about us?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Run sheet? I'm over it, boys, It's all right. Run
sheet is included in those three hours you were.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Out drinking at the tennis until and then you joined
this zoom call late. We'll not zoom.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
He doesn't care. He doesn't I was there nine point
thirteen and there was enough of things. So anyway, I'm
getting right into the show, feel every player and be
right in the action throughout a massive, uzzy summer of
cricket with tap touch Big Show. Because yeah, but enough
of yours, I said, the Big Show. Yeah, he's joining.
I wish the Big Show is joining us as we
chat about BBL Finals predictions. So that's just around the
corner of the last match of the regular season is
(01:33):
on Sunday. Got lots of cricket news Super Coach BBR
with Bye Holds, so we love doing that and always
some tasty fan comments and questions. So we've got a
lot to get through here before we start. Be sure
to get right around the show on Spotify for podcasts,
subscribe to the YouTube channel and we've gone up since
the other day. We need to have a look every show.
He's like, I think the thick of it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Oh we have two point nine two is the sophocore.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Oh, we're close to the three k. The goal boy
very nice and as well as all the socials at
Cricket Today AU and downloaded tab touch today. Imagine what
you could be buying instead for free and confidential support
called one eight hundred eight A five eight or visit
gambling help online dot org dot A you quick single time,
(02:18):
here we go. This is this is one of my
hard work goes into I actually think you saying quick
single is in my length nightmare now yeah, always the
same time. So it's like cooking and let's do it people, Yes,
one there, one there, the quick single. That's just what
we do. I'm gonna put it as my rington. Actually
all right. First one the DJ decks last night at
(02:39):
the BBL caught fire. So something the DJ was playing
some absolute bangers and it was absolutely cooking and it
caused an evacuation of everyone at the Gabba while the
game was gone on. Did you guys see that one?
I did?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, that was going back to like the old footy
days where it'd be like a or something.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
It was, Yeah, reminds me of that is yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, normally it's the stadium lights or the scoreboards on fire.
But yeah, jeez, I don't know what. I want to
know what song that DJ was playing?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, I know right, what that is. DJ, that's a
good ad for that. DJ. Just literally these songs are
making that's funny. That's good as I reckon and yeah,
obviously the game came back on. It didn't end any
of the game, but they did. They have to evacuate it.
That'd be a weird one going to the cricket going out.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You have you ever been to a footy game or
game we've had to know what's happened. Having a calling
with Adelaide last was last year or two years ago?
I have evacuated.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, I haven't have you guys, No good chap. I
like the I like the effort. Next only quick single
we've got. Obviously it's wanted to talk about Steve Smith.
He's obviously continues his great Big bash form. A lot
of people are saying he might open for Australia in
the T twenty Internationals and the other one. I will
start off with that. Do we think that's going to happen?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
You know twenties at the moment.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Keeps keeps going to this road. He will get tenenty
twenty twenty runs a notes on he gets before he
gets his test rounds.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Well, so you think about it, right now heads locked
in as one spot, but there is another open the
spot available, so it was like, sure, aving goes short,
you guess will probably go middle order.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Did David Warner retire from all Australian international true? Or
is he's still playing twenty twenties.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
If he's still playing twenty twenty Honestly, he's blurred the
lines between his retirement announcements that no one knows what
because he wants to come back and then what Yeah,
one day he's just going to be opening. He's going
to be opening against the Ashes, and we're gonna be like,
hang on a second, what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
No one knows if he's a pundit, a commentator in.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
A mustache, father, a husband, TikTok dancer, Yeah, oh my god. Yeah,
but it's a sneaky chance, Sorr. Sneaky, Yeah, for sure,
because he's been a buddy awesome. Obviously got fifty two
again and had one hundred and twenty the other night,
so he's also gone really well for the Sixers. The
other part of that Smith one, I had a look,
he's not on an I p ol list. Is he
(05:05):
a little bit stiff or in the past he hasn't
had good IPL seasons, but the fact that he's doing this,
he's better than a lot of ozsies that are on
the i PL list right now.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
But like Jake Frais McGirk and IPL teams though, they
go like, who Steve Smith? Do we want this fidgety
old guy or do we want this young rooster?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Like it's a rooster. It sounds cool. We'll just get
him in. It sounds paying two million thirty keep him in.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You'd be paying Steve Smith a lot more, I feel
than would.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
You though, would you though, because I feel like it
didn't even Yeah, you bring.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Him in and you get you get that with almost
like merchandise and shirt sales alone from his.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
In recent years.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I reckon someone like Caan Williamson would have declined how
much he gets from the IPL because of his because
of his age and getting older.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
It's weird that they do that with some of the
batters but not some of the bowlers. Like you're looking stark,
and that's true. It comes as well, but those ballers
are being always really consistent in the RPL. Whereas that
Steve that's about I just I just thought you just
said Kane Williamson isn't consistent.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I feel like Steve Smith's a bigger name than Look,
I'm not saying that they're completely different in terms of ability.
I think Came Williamson is well up there, but like
I think Steve Smith's just a bigger name because Australian
cricket is bigger around the globe. Yeah, in New Zealand cricket.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah. I just thought it was funny that he's not
in the RPL and he'd definitely been the Aussie T
twenty international team, right, So that's that's just a bit
of a one to think of the Indian contracts over there.
Last one in the quick single, really quick single for you,
lear Jack Edwards is set to captain Australia A against
the England lines next month. What do we think about that?
That's a bit of a surprise, isn't he kept six
(06:47):
for a little bit? I really like it though.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I like it, and I think it just shows that
we have a lot of all round.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I know one it's sort of snuck through a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
So obviously Cam Green's injured, he'll be he'll be firing. Look,
Mitch marsh is probably death now, I'm not going to
really include him in this discussion.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
But you've got bow.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Web Star coming through, coming through his thirty one but
coming through the Australian ranks.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yep. Then you've got Jack Edwards, then you've got Will Sutherland,
then you've got Mitch Owen. Have I missed one? I
may have missed one. Aaron Hardy Aaron Hardy, Aaron Hardy. Yeah,
he's doing it crap this season. But you're right technically
and all yeah, yeah, what have we got? Come from?
Where they come from? Where they go?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Andrew?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, play to be fair. Will Southern's a little bit stiff,
does Jack Edwards? Captain South Wales? I don't think so.
That's a bit surprising that Will Sutherin, but they obviously
don't mind his leadership. And the other one in the
team is Curtis Patterson. People say he's got a bit
of a career resurgence. I don't think it's going anywhere,
(07:55):
but he's had a great couple of seasons. He's a
very good hill batter. Is that's about it? Well? Remember
his century against Sri Lanka.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I do it's a good it's a good player. But
I think we're heading into different direction.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I feel like none of us have.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So yeah, Curtis like, come on, thanks man, thanks thanks,
but no thanks.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, no, I agree on that one.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
But ye will Mitch Mitch Marsh won't be in the
ash squad Excell.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Mitch Owen will be. Mitch. Oh, no way, you might
play for White. I don't know about Mitch. I don't
know if that's a massive call. He's on the he's
on the down. I think even he probably he might
even retired before them or is that a big that's
thirty thirty four. I love how he went from our
(08:46):
best player to worst. Yeah, anyway, I have to you
have to have to think about that. All right. That's
a quick single. Try to get it as quick as
possible for Leo. There next one up. But you usually
get into the big batch in the second half of
the show. But we're getting right into the BBL Finals
because that starts on Does it start right on Monday?
I believe, Yeah, yeah, Monday, Tuesday. Yeah. Anyway, it starts
(09:10):
next week. So we're very excited about that. So before
our next show, there'll be a lot of final stuff.
So BBL fourteen Finals prediction lads who will make the
top four? So that's what we're all been looking at
the top three locked in now. Yeah, Yeah, they've been
locked in for days. Yeah, I'm just just double checking,
just double checking because any who wants to read it
out or if you've got it up, I've got it
up with Yeah, you read it out mate. All right,
(09:32):
we've got the Hurricanes up the top. They're flying seven
to one. The Sixers are six and two in second, third,
other thunder at five and three. Then we've got who
can make it from here? We've got the Stars and
the Heat and the Spa. Can anyone else make it?
Four teams?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Mate?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
No, I'm just seeing if the starts the Stars and
startsn't it. I'm just double chefs. Doesn't come on, mate,
don't want to get confused by Yeah. This is shows
that you're just too much into tennis. Moment. Switch on,
you're gonna lock in. I'm back, I'm all right. So
we've got the Hurricanes, Sixers have done the top three,
four spots available, Stars or the Heat? Who are we
thinking that? So we've got the Stars playing against the
(10:10):
Hurricanes and the Heat play against the Renegades.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Renegades have to lose this to make your stars well,
may not make finals.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Can Perth technically make finals?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
That's what I think. That's what I was trying to say.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Can you guys confuse me Perth, because Perth all the
Strikers can play finals. If Theeges the Renegades beat the
Heat and the Hurricanes.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I'll stop you right there. The Renegades, Heat maybe not,
maybe not. I think Stars make it.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I think Heat will beat the Renegades, And I think
the Stars will beat the Hurricanes purely because the Hurricanes
like they've been trying things more and more in recent
games because they've locked in finals. True, and I think
they'll keep trying some new players, some new positions, some
new bowling roles, and that will open the door for
the Stars, especially at the MCG.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
But the Stars always choke on the big.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Dropped mainly in finals. But yeah, I think I can
say someone else. I think the Heat will make it.
I'm being a hater. The Stars will lose the Hurricanes
no matter who they bring in. That every player's stepped
up this season for the Hurricanes, So I reckon they
will beat the Stars and crush Marcus hopes of another
Stars finals best sorry mate, next one in the finals.
(11:26):
Standout player. So just so you think the stars are
going to make it those top four. Someone out of
the top four who's going to dominate the finals for
the Big Bash. I think Mitch Owen, Oh yeah, big mit.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
So obviously he's bold more because again going back to
that point that they want to try and more things
in cases needed upon in finals. But he's showed that
he's more than capable with the ball. He can be
a little expensive. He's got the tools at the level
to bowl you know, two three overs if need.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Be, and he's batning. He's just real powerful at the top.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I like that they've given him the freedom to just
sort of play his game. I think he was saying
it's shield level. He typically bats seven or eight and
he's normally coming in for that second new ball, and
he's still he still plays that way. He's sort of
aggressive nature and he does it with the new ball.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
So Mitch, just get on him. The next big thing,
literally huge. I thought he is huge. I thought no
way he was going to be the next one. He's
just dominated this.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
So he's also huge. M Bean Marcus been seven foot.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
He actually looks massive. He's not related to mister Bean.
If he's seventh. So are you saying he is going
to be the standout player of the final?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
No, no, no, no, it's going to be Sam Harper.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
No way. Imagine Marcus been in mister Bean's little green car.
It wouldn't even fit in.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Fair car es. No, I agree. I agree with Leo
Mitchell and for sure probably the ones stand out.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Is any what about someone from Gus That's what I
was going to go from the sixers, That's what he
was gonna say. What he was gonna say. Jack Edwards?
You want to say that one as well. No, I've
already talked about Jack Edwards. He's a bit up and
down in the big bash. Ben Dwarfhs is so consistentous,
what a name. He just he can hit absolute bombs.
He's not even listed as an all rounder in super Coach,
(13:20):
which is which is absolute rat. He just can hit bombs.
He can get wickeds, he get He's going to get
two wickets a game in the finals at least, and
then he can hit a quick thirty when he comes
into bats. So I reckon he's going to be the
standout player of the finals. Yeah, he was in my
quick single.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Just a spoiler of that for today for tonight's game,
he's not only been handed with the ball, but just
you mentioned with the bat stats going, just PLoP him
in six or seven. Yeah, and he gets your twenty
off ten minimum and you're just like, that was it?
That was the innings that made me question my sexuality?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Jeez, Mark has agreed. Ye, it's twenty twenty five. I
rate that a Grand Final teams and the title winner.
Who are the two teams that are going to make it,
please lads? And who's going to win the BBL fourteen title?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
The Stars and the Sixers?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Who are interesting?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
The Stars?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
The Stars. I always joke.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It'll be the Hurricanes and the Sixers, and I think
the Sixers win. Oh but if that's the case, Ionet, Hurricanes,
it will be their first Yeah, and that that will.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Leave the Stars as the only team that hasn't won.
That would be hilarious.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
You know what, Hurricane Stars Stars.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Win just so they beat the Hurricane Stars. Game gets
called off repeatedly. Number one wins. Yeah, they played next year.
I'm going to go, what am I going to go with?
I'll go Hurricane Sixers as well. There, but the Hurricanes
is gonna get the job. That they're going to get
their first title. They've got just so many good T
twenty specific players and it just never clicks for him.
But it's finally clicking in the.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Does that mean? Does that mean the final we played
at Ninja Stadium or whatever it could be?
Speaker 1 (14:58):
That is some great advertise for Ninja Creamy.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
It could also sponsor this show, if they could Grill
with Grilled not a sponsor.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, all right, there we go. So we've got Hurricane
Six's and Stars even though Stars haven't made yet, but
they could. They could have their first title. Who knows,
who knows the whey they're going. They just see MAXI
to make ninety otherwise their stuff I reckon? All right?

All right, last couple of nights Big BBL talking points
Strikers and Sixers for a couple of nights ago really
came down to the second last ball. I don't know
what you guys saw that one, but a lot happened.
Yeah I didn't, I must admit didn't see too much
(15:49):
of it. That's right. I saw Steve Smith again thirty
x so stuff. He's such a freak. He's there's absolute freak.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
What.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, I'm trying to think of if he if he
does open, he continued, could he open for the Sixers
in the finals. Is that a possibility or they going
to keep him? I don't know if he's available.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I think he's only available to play three.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yes, I thought about that. Does that change your pick
of the Sixers without Steve's.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Missing, because they're just so boring, they're just away win
have won for a while. But I would love even
though I don't want the Stars to win it, I
would love to see a Hurricane Stars final.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah. That's just like two new teams. Yep. Like one
of them is going to see success for the first time. Yep,
I like it. I just wrote down this one down
lucky Shore. I wouldn't usually put down amazing fielding. It
was really good fielding. But I don't know if you
guys saw the fan footage. There was a guy either
a security guy or something. They got out of his
chair to film exactly as it happened, like right there.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
He works he works for the oh, he worked for
someone I saw. I saw the actual video on it
looks awesome.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
If people want to check that out, Yeah, I have
not seen that. I'll check it out. Yeah. It's like
he's literally standing you can't really see h much.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You're standing on the Andrew and then you just see
Lachlan Shaw's body just come flying.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
It was cool, Yeah, because he just flew past like Superman.
That's pretty cool. A good little stop by a locky
shore over and again, even though he's a bit of
a tool, he loves arguing with the umpires and argument
with the players. Maybe that's why he's a Pommy. He
always does that. But he had two wickets and at
thirty two not out him. Sutherland and dwarshs I Reckon
have been the best all rounders and then like in
Big Bash as well, and he was not he was
(17:28):
last week.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Overendon thinks he's like in w W A or something.
He argues with the umpires and it's going to start
some biff.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Did you see this is sort of related to remember
the Tom Current incident last year. Yeah, David Warner put
out a tweet saying he feels sorry for Tom Current
about that incident because now he gets celebrities to bowl
in the pitch. First of all, we had celebrities last
year do it. Second of all, David like it's the
fact that he brushes past the umpire and ignores his request.
(17:59):
Listened to the umpire, David, you know, you know, bloody,
it's not about whether he can bowl in the wicked
or not. If the umpire tells you not to, then
you don't do it. Celebrity thing is different to that.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Great, So get off Twitter, get off TikTok.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
David, and focus on playing for your bloody Premier League
cricket team.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Because I don't want to see you for it's too far.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Listen, listen to him, David, Andrew Warner.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Oh he's got the middle Andrew, jeez, there we go.
Good call, but he's a bit fined up with David. Sorry,
David Water all right. Next game, last night's game, Matt
Wade wins it on the last ball for Hoe, but
one needed off the last ball, but he hits a
six against Xavier Baaler. The crowd goes wild. Marcus was
(18:45):
going wild last night with the cricket, but.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Not like you going out for drinks and look at.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, that's all right, I'm allow. I'm allowed to do
what I want at the cricket there. I wasn't at well,
I'm going to go to Hobart for a night's into
stating if I was host, I would if I had
a private Jedi. So was at the gabba? Oh the Gabba?
I'm like it was a fire there. I'm glad I wasn't.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Therenus Manus hit some runs.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, he's very good.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
It would have been nice if you did that throughout
the series a little bit more often. But yeah, seventy
seven or forty four.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Very good effort. Yeah, yeah, Caleb Jaw was seventy six
as well. You've got Spencer Johnson and Nathan Alice three
for so Nathan Alys's like, oh, it's got picked in
the other team. Yeah, I well deserved another three for
for him. A little bit expensive, but still he.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Actually knows Shane out though to Alice the last over
where the heat could have put on an extra ten
to fifteen runs with Lava, Shane and also up at
the crease. Ye, I think it only I think he
got two wickets, he got Laba, Shane and Alsop out
and it only went for like five runs and you
end up winning. They ended up winning on the last ball.
So it's little stuff like that that Hobart have nailed
(19:59):
this year and that's why they're the best team.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's a good call. They've they've been really good at
the death. They've got a lot of good bowlers that
can bowl the deaf because you've got Chris Jordan. Even
Riley Meredith has been not as like wayward or a
lot more economical. That's Chris Jordan.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I've heard rumors that he's leaving like every second game,
and now he's still with the Like, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Is he still? I think he's going to the International League,
So don't pick him in super coach.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And then he's well he didn't play, did Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah he was out? He was out, Oh he was out.
This is a mystery. He didn't play because he was injured, though,
I think, yeah, what's going on with him? Maybe he's
playing an in secret tournament like overseas private jet. Coming
back to the Bile game is everywhere that man. All right,
that's enough for BBR talking pouts, BBL quick fire tips.
We're actually going to do a quick fire because we've
got four games. Well, we'll talk a bit more about
(20:48):
the Scorches Strikers. Actually, I'm happy. I'm happy with that
we can we can talk about whichever game he would likely.
I'm happy with that Six's versus the Thunder is the
first one. Obviously second verse they've already locked in seconds.
It's not a huge it's for the home final, home final.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Actually good, Yeah, Sixes, Yeah, yeah, I think the Sixers
as well.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah. Nice Renegades versus the Heat. I think Heat win
by record amount. Renegade. Yeah, it's Reneges are gonna even
try this one there in shambles.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
As much as I want to say Renegades, I think
I think they Heat. No, Jacob Bethel's big out.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, got eighty seven last game and can can have
a bowl, So yeah, I'll go. I'll go the Heat
as well. That they always build at the right end
of the season, so they should have a really good
game there. Yeah, you want to talk about this one.
Scorches versus the Strikers, there's actually usually a really good
matchup but both teams. Both of these teams can still
make finals. They can still make finals, so it's very
unlikely though they could not. Really there's a chance. What
(21:50):
do we think about this one?
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I think Scorches get it done, even if they do
roll out of some of the depth players.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Well, for in a row, someone like the Gorches, there's
the benchmark of the team of the league. That the team.
I'll say that again, they're the benchmark of the league.
This Gorch is like this is soone like them losing
for in a row. I think I'm going to lead
towards the strike. Is they got load Pope, They've got
They're just he's leading the wickets, isn't he in the
comps somehow, even though he bowls to Rogers is up
(22:19):
there too. Tom Rodgers is the goat. So just the
Lloyd Pope.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Going at nine point twenty five and over there, Voyd Pope.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, oh boy, oh boy.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
As a spin you sort of want your spinner to
be a little bit more economical than that.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
No, I agree, I agree obviously the Scorches Cooper Connolly awesome,
but they just need someone else to lift with the bat.
They've got so many good players and they're just being
so inconsistent. Other than Cooper Connolly had to get a
couple of wickets this season more than usual. Just they
need someone to lift.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
They've got They've got two of the top four wicket
takers in the tournament in Lance Morrison, the bearn Dorf.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Don't bring up Lance Morrows, that guy. I hates him,
over read, but you're right.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
There needs to be more runs from somewhere else and
has to come from the bat of Mitch marsh Oh even.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
No, he's not even playing.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I don't think is he not playing this final game.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I don't think he played the last game. I reckon
he was injured. That's why he didn't play last game.
Maybe yeah, maybe he was just out of form. He's
like now, I don't want to play any more lads anyway,
So I'm going Strikers two gone Scorches, Yes, scorches.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Oh jeez, That Scorches batting line up just doesn't look great,
does it.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Nick Hobson Legacy Games Strikers, Yet I like it. Last
one Stars versus the Hurricanes the biggest match to end
the season. If the Stars win, they most likely will
make the finals. What do we think lads. Not most
likely they will make finals. Oh, yeah, I think Stars win.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Look what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
He's doing what I did. No, I believe it. I
believe he had points before. And the Hurricanes will team
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yeah, I think the Stars have won last four. Your
Hurricanes will change their team at the end.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Team the form team of the continent.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Well, the Hurricanes have won seven in a row. Yes,
I think they're the form team. I don't know. Alright,
So you guys are going Stars, I'm going the cane train,
Come on the Hurricanes.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
They're gonna No, no, I'm going.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I'm going.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I'm going the Hurricanes trying to think. Yeah, you know,
like you said, Leo, mate, there's seven on the trot.
It'll be an absolute embarrassment. If they lose to the
to the Cereal Chokers, Melbourne Stars and and lose. Can
they lose Top Sport? They're going to lose Top Sport.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
They're gonna They're gonna roll out the Lon Cesston Premier team.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
They won seven in a row and they're going to
lose Top Sport in a ten game tournament.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Not happening, boys, not happening. Not happening, all right, Super coach. Wash?
What is this point down here? Leo dominates in super Coach.
You've got a few clubs about super coachs le very good.
It's not it's not easy, but me, yeah, you finally
got it out. I figured it out.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Round eight Super Coach is a tough game for some,
but not for this guy.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Right the sky right? What was your score Leo for
a round eight? One thousand, two hundred and eighty one? Oh?
Very that? What is that? What? What was that? What
did that put you in the in the round because
that would be I didn't check that. Do you want
to check that? Yeah? Why not? What was my phones
on the floor so I have to go get it?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Didn't crack the k on four.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
It's not easy, mate, it's not easy. I got one
thousand and seventy three. Pretty happy with that. I want
to see I reckon Leo would have been right up
there in the oh. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
There were some big schools over the week. There were
a lot of players score some lot of.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I know I see that on bb OL. Home mate,
go home, yeah home. Oh my god, you're rookie. I
thought it was in I thought it was in range
two hundred and seventy three. Oh like fifty something one thousand.
I think it is fifty six thousand. Yeah, very nice,
Well done. There we go. Then the top player got
fifteen over fifteen hundred.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Where are you ranked in your total school?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yeah? I don't think it was saying my phone died? Shame?
Where are you Marke? I reckon, it's dead. So we
should have a bet because I reckon we're going to
be around the same was it season?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Season rank five thousand and eighty seven out of out
of fifty six thousand, four hundred and twenty.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I'm six thousand, three hundred, right behind you and the
top eight percent. I reckon. We're going to have a
little bit there. We'll have to think about it. We'll
see at the end of the season. All right, super coach,
So we want to talk all things super coach. Round
nine so to Actually I was going to say this
the last round, but there's two rounds to go. No, mate, sorry,
last round.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Right, you've actually had a man with babyl this this
this podcast. You need to admit that your heart is
not with cricket anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It is it is with cricket. It is.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I swear I'm most four games, laft mate, come on,
well you've got this.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Listen to me if you want to have a good
finish to your Super Coach season, by I'm buying if
you don't already have him. He's been in my team
last couple weeks. But make sure you buy Mitch Ollen.
Leo has been talking him up. He's the best player
in Super Coach right now. He's even having a bowl.
So the start of the season I think he only
bowled one over in the first probably five or six games.
The last couple of games he's been bowling and getting
some wickets. So Mitchellen, he could get a hundred can
(27:24):
it can absolutely smoke him. He's going to get a fifty.
I reckon in this round. So make sure you buy
Mitch Olden. The Stars bowling against the Stars bowling which
took the Renegades to the cleaners somehow.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
But if anyone can hit Peter Siddle into retirement, it
is Mitch olan.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Ah, you dog, but yeah he could. I'm holding David
Warner obviously it was a bit down only you scored
eighteen points in round eight. But you know what we're
going to get from Davy. They really need him to
score runs. At the top order, and he's been unbelievable form.
He's probably been one of the best batters, most consistent
batters in the competition. So make sure top run score
as well. There you go, So make sure your hold, Davy,
(27:58):
I'm selling this is a big call, Leo. I'm selling
Matt Short. He's two hundred and sixty one thousand too much.
He's too much. You know, he's called sixteen points last round,
all right. He could get one hundred every now and then,
but he hasn't been at his best this season. If
you want to finish the round and the super Coach
season strongly, you can get two good players for two
hundred and sixty one thousand rather than holding on to
Matt Short because if he gets out early, he hasn't
(28:20):
been bowling as much as well. So I reckon, you're
gonna sell Matt Short, even though it's risky. So fingers
crossing doesn't make a hundred now and that'll be yeah kicking.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I think on the Perth deck he might actually might
find the hardest score runs as well.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, So I reckon he's going to get out cheaply.
Get rid of Mat Short and make sure you get
to maybe a bit of the kiel chowder in your
team as well too. Yeah, Marcus doesn't mind him all right.
That's by holds self a super coach. Let's finish it off,
lads with the question slash fan comments. Do you want
to read some of those ones out? Marcus? I think
you chucked him in there.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Sure can YouTube. This is my favorite comment almost almost
of the summer new from certified plumbboy fan favorite. He said,
new favorite cricket channel, the great Cricketer shaking in their
boots right.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Now, great cricketer. I wouldn't even know who we are.
They were, they would We're everywhere.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Were on news Corp articles mate, Channel seven, We'll be
on channel We've been on Northern Territory News.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Cant their heart out.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
The cans posts, mate, We're everywhere. They can knocket on that.
I like that from certified Very.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Good coming joking of course, TGC is a very good
Yes Facebook, Josh Ryan, this is about the BBL. Why
the hell don't BBL games start earlier? It needs to
be done by ten pm?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
This so very angry there.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, I'm just I'm just replicating his tone.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
So this is one of those AI voices that just
get angry. This was actually a mate that messaged me
that said that he yeah, and I was like thinking
about it. But maybe for kids and things like that
probably needs to be started to be I don't think
they should start at seventeen six fifteen. You reckon earlier?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
What's seven I'm gonna do?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
That's just sorry. I thought I was seven thirty be
starting seven thirty?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah, yeah, I think I think I think six six
thirty start.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah, I think mid mid don't go to work go
to the big bash at midday now, I don't. I
don't mind earlier start because I.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Was I was getting ready to go to bed, I know,
like the evacuation and stuff for true yea last night,
but I was better go to bed and there were
still nine ten overs to go in the Brisbane heat
Hobile game at twenty past eleven.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Yeah, that's not ideal. That is not idea because they'll
be losing the viewers. Yeah, make sure it starts earlier.
Whit Why not get the kids to the games. Well,
there's no kids going to a game that finishes at
eleven like during the week. Yeah, very often, very often.
Last one on TikTok on trying to fit Green and
Webster into the same World Test Championship team. I'm going
to read those ones out, Marcus draw just George as
(31:02):
he got actually actually got that, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Drop Marnus Green or Smith into three?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Oh? Sorry George?
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Thanks, that's pretty that's pretty stiff on solid.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah, what do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
So I don't agree with that one? And also this
one copped a lot more copt a lot more hate, Leo,
what do you reckon? Well, we can talk about what
we think after.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
We read the comments.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Sounds good minutes this this one actually copt a lot
more hate than the other comments at J M T
B said Smith retire, Marnus spat it for constant about
at three and cam Bancroft back into open where that got?
Speaker 1 (31:48):
That got ratioed heavily.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
None of that is good And I think that got
way more like it's.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
The worst cricket opinion, love, the worst I've ever heard.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
But it's a bit it's not the worst, Jay, but
you know, out of the box thinking is that Michael
Vaughan's banner accounts the worst cricket winion in the world. Usually,
if Michael Vaughan had charge of Australia Cricket. He would
be like, what are England doing? Let's copy that, Jake
Bras mcgo to back three first, let's do it and tests.
Yeah with Sam Constas and Buddy. Who else will he
(32:22):
get it? Bring back David Water? Yeah, So I don't
think either of those. I don't think you can drop
Marnus Smith's not going to retire. He's he's hanging around
chocer box.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Well, I think it's too dangerous to bring Cam Green back.
I don't even think he plays in the World Test
Championship Final. I think he's in the squad, but I
don't think he plays.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
I agree, I agree, all right, I'm calling it that
stumps for the Cricket Today Show. Thanks to the Tap Judge,

Speaker 3 (00:33):
I am sad, but not because of the Renegades, because
snats guy you you mentioned it at the top, you
say you're back in cricket mode. I think that is
a blatant lie. I reckon this week you.

called one eight hundred eight A five eight or visit
gambling help online dot org dot A you quick single time,
(02:18):
here we go. This is this is one of my
hard work goes into I actually think you saying quick
single is in my length nightmare now yeah, always the
same time. So it's like cooking and let's do it people, Yes,
one there, one there, the quick single. That's just what
we do. I'm gonna put it as my rington. Actually
all right. First one the DJ decks last night at
(02:39):
the BBL caught fire. So something the DJ was playing
some absolute bangers and it was absolutely cooking and it
caused an evacuation of everyone at the Gabba while the
game was gone on. Did you guys see that one?
I did?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, that was going back to like the old footy
days where it'd be like a or something.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
It was, Yeah, reminds me of that is yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, normally it's the stadium lights or the scoreboards on fire.
But yeah, jeez, I don't know what. I want to
know what song that DJ was playing?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, I know right, what that is. DJ, that's a
good ad for that. DJ. Just literally these songs are
making that's funny. That's good as I reckon and yeah,
obviously the game came back on. It didn't end any
of the game, but they did. They have to evacuate it.
That'd be a weird one going to the cricket going out.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You have you ever been to a footy game or
game we've had to know what's happened. Having a calling
with Adelaide last was last year or two years ago?
I have evacuated.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, I haven't have you guys, No good chap. I
like the I like the effort. Next only quick single
we've got. Obviously it's wanted to talk about Steve Smith.
He's obviously continues his great Big bash form. A lot
of people are saying he might open for Australia in
the T twenty Internationals and the other one. I will
start off with that. Do we think that's going to happen?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
You know twenties at the moment.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Keeps keeps going to this road. He will get tenenty
twenty twenty runs a notes on he gets before he
gets his test rounds.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Well, so you think about it, right now heads locked
in as one spot, but there is another open the
spot available, so it was like, sure, aving goes short,
you guess will probably go middle order.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Did David Warner retire from all Australian international true? Or
is he's still playing twenty twenties.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
If he's still playing twenty twenty Honestly, he's blurred the
lines between his retirement announcements that no one knows what
because he wants to come back and then what Yeah,
one day he's just going to be opening. He's going
to be opening against the Ashes, and we're gonna be like,
hang on a second, what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
No one knows if he's a pundit, a commentator in.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
A mustache, father, a husband, TikTok dancer, Yeah, oh my god. Yeah,
but it's a sneaky chance, Sorr. Sneaky, Yeah, for sure,
because he's been a buddy awesome. Obviously got fifty two
again and had one hundred and twenty the other night,
so he's also gone really well for the Sixers. The
other part of that Smith one, I had a look,
he's not on an I p ol list. Is he
(05:05):
a little bit stiff or in the past he hasn't
had good IPL seasons, but the fact that he's doing this,
he's better than a lot of ozsies that are on
the i PL list right now.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
But like Jake Frais McGirk and IPL teams though, they
go like, who Steve Smith? Do we want this fidgety
old guy or do we want this young rooster?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Like it's a rooster. It sounds cool. We'll just get
him in. It sounds paying two million thirty keep him in.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You'd be paying Steve Smith a lot more, I feel
than would.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
You though, would you though, because I feel like it
didn't even Yeah, you bring.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Him in and you get you get that with almost
like merchandise and shirt sales alone from his.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
In recent years.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I reckon someone like Caan Williamson would have declined how
much he gets from the IPL because of his because
of his age and getting older.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
It's weird that they do that with some of the
batters but not some of the bowlers. Like you're looking stark,
and that's true. It comes as well, but those ballers
are being always really consistent in the RPL. Whereas that
Steve that's about I just I just thought you just
said Kane Williamson isn't consistent.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I feel like Steve Smith's a bigger name than Look,
I'm not saying that they're completely different in terms of ability.
I think Came Williamson is well up there, but like
I think Steve Smith's just a bigger name because Australian
cricket is bigger around the globe. Yeah, in New Zealand cricket.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah. I just thought it was funny that he's not
in the RPL and he'd definitely been the Aussie T
twenty international team, right, So that's that's just a bit
of a one to think of the Indian contracts over there.
Last one in the quick single, really quick single for you,
lear Jack Edwards is set to captain Australia A against
the England lines next month. What do we think about that?
That's a bit of a surprise, isn't he kept six
(06:47):
for a little bit? I really like it though.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I like it, and I think it just shows that
we have a lot of all round.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I know one it's sort of snuck through a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
So obviously Cam Green's injured, he'll be he'll be firing. Look,
Mitch marsh is probably death now, I'm not going to
really include him in this discussion.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
But you've got bow.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Web Star coming through, coming through his thirty one but
coming through the Australian ranks.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yep. Then you've got Jack Edwards, then you've got Will Sutherland,
then you've got Mitch Owen. Have I missed one? I
may have missed one. Aaron Hardy Aaron Hardy, Aaron Hardy. Yeah,
he's doing it crap this season. But you're right technically
and all yeah, yeah, what have we got? Come from?
Where they come from? Where they go?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Andrew?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, play to be fair. Will Southern's a little bit stiff,
does Jack Edwards? Captain South Wales? I don't think so.
That's a bit surprising that Will Sutherin, but they obviously
don't mind his leadership. And the other one in the
team is Curtis Patterson. People say he's got a bit
of a career resurgence. I don't think it's going anywhere,
(07:55):
but he's had a great couple of seasons. He's a
very good hill batter. Is that's about it? Well? Remember
his century against Sri Lanka.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I do it's a good it's a good player. But
I think we're heading into different direction.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I feel like none of us have.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So yeah, Curtis like, come on, thanks man, thanks thanks,
but no thanks.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, no, I agree on that one.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
But ye will Mitch Mitch Marsh won't be in the
ash squad Excell.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Mitch Owen will be. Mitch. Oh, no way, you might
play for White. I don't know about Mitch. I don't
know if that's a massive call. He's on the he's
on the down. I think even he probably he might
even retired before them or is that a big that's
thirty thirty four. I love how he went from our
(08:46):
best player to worst. Yeah, anyway, I have to you
have to have to think about that. All right. That's
a quick single. Try to get it as quick as
possible for Leo. There next one up. But you usually
get into the big batch in the second half of
the show. But we're getting right into the BBL Finals
because that starts on Does it start right on Monday?
I believe, Yeah, yeah, Monday, Tuesday. Yeah. Anyway, it starts
(09:10):
next week. So we're very excited about that. So before
our next show, there'll be a lot of final stuff.
So BBL fourteen Finals prediction lads who will make the
top four? So that's what we're all been looking at
the top three locked in now. Yeah, Yeah, they've been
locked in for days. Yeah, I'm just just double checking,
just double checking because any who wants to read it
out or if you've got it up, I've got it
up with Yeah, you read it out mate. All right,
(09:32):
we've got the Hurricanes up the top. They're flying seven
to one. The Sixers are six and two in second, third,
other thunder at five and three. Then we've got who
can make it from here? We've got the Stars and
the Heat and the Spa. Can anyone else make it?
Four teams?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Mate?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
No, I'm just seeing if the starts the Stars and
startsn't it. I'm just double chefs. Doesn't come on, mate,
don't want to get confused by Yeah. This is shows
that you're just too much into tennis. Moment. Switch on,
you're gonna lock in. I'm back, I'm all right. So
we've got the Hurricanes, Sixers have done the top three,
four spots available, Stars or the Heat? Who are we
thinking that? So we've got the Stars playing against the
(10:10):
Hurricanes and the Heat play against the Renegades.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Renegades have to lose this to make your stars well,
may not make finals.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Can Perth technically make finals?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
That's what I think. That's what I was trying to say.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Can you guys confuse me Perth, because Perth all the
Strikers can play finals. If Theeges the Renegades beat the
Heat and the Hurricanes.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I'll stop you right there. The Renegades, Heat maybe not,
maybe not. I think Stars make it.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I think Heat will beat the Renegades, And I think
the Stars will beat the Hurricanes purely because the Hurricanes
like they've been trying things more and more in recent
games because they've locked in finals. True, and I think
they'll keep trying some new players, some new positions, some
new bowling roles, and that will open the door for
the Stars, especially at the MCG.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
But the Stars always choke on the big.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Dropped mainly in finals. But yeah, I think I can
say someone else. I think the Heat will make it.
I'm being a hater. The Stars will lose the Hurricanes
no matter who they bring in. That every player's stepped
up this season for the Hurricanes, So I reckon they
will beat the Stars and crush Marcus hopes of another
Stars finals best sorry mate, next one in the finals.
(11:26):
Standout player. So just so you think the stars are
going to make it those top four. Someone out of
the top four who's going to dominate the finals for
the Big Bash. I think Mitch Owen, Oh yeah, big mit.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
So obviously he's bold more because again going back to
that point that they want to try and more things
in cases needed upon in finals. But he's showed that
he's more than capable with the ball. He can be
a little expensive. He's got the tools at the level
to bowl you know, two three overs if need.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Be, and he's batning. He's just real powerful at the top.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I like that they've given him the freedom to just
sort of play his game. I think he was saying
it's shield level. He typically bats seven or eight and
he's normally coming in for that second new ball, and
he's still he still plays that way. He's sort of
aggressive nature and he does it with the new ball.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
So Mitch, just get on him. The next big thing,
literally huge. I thought he is huge. I thought no
way he was going to be the next one. He's
just dominated this.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
So he's also huge. M Bean Marcus been seven foot.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
He actually looks massive. He's not related to mister Bean.
If he's seventh. So are you saying he is going
to be the standout player of the final?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
No, no, no, no, it's going to be Sam Harper.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
No way. Imagine Marcus been in mister Bean's little green car.
It wouldn't even fit in.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Fair car es. No, I agree. I agree with Leo
Mitchell and for sure probably the ones stand out.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Is any what about someone from Gus That's what I
was going to go from the sixers, That's what he
was gonna say. What he was gonna say. Jack Edwards?
You want to say that one as well. No, I've
already talked about Jack Edwards. He's a bit up and
down in the big bash. Ben Dwarfhs is so consistentous,
what a name. He just he can hit absolute bombs.
He's not even listed as an all rounder in super Coach,
(13:20):
which is which is absolute rat. He just can hit bombs.
He can get wickeds, he get He's going to get
two wickets a game in the finals at least, and
then he can hit a quick thirty when he comes
into bats. So I reckon he's going to be the
standout player of the finals. Yeah, he was in my
quick single.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Just a spoiler of that for today for tonight's game,
he's not only been handed with the ball, but just
you mentioned with the bat stats going, just PLoP him
in six or seven. Yeah, and he gets your twenty
off ten minimum and you're just like, that was it?
That was the innings that made me question my sexuality?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Jeez, Mark has agreed. Ye, it's twenty twenty five. I
rate that a Grand Final teams and the title winner.
Who are the two teams that are going to make it,
please lads? And who's going to win the BBL fourteen title?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
The Stars and the Sixers?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Who are interesting?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
The Stars?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
The Stars. I always joke.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It'll be the Hurricanes and the Sixers, and I think
the Sixers win. Oh but if that's the case, Ionet, Hurricanes,
it will be their first Yeah, and that that will.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Leave the Stars as the only team that hasn't won.
That would be hilarious.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
You know what, Hurricane Stars Stars.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Win just so they beat the Hurricane Stars. Game gets
called off repeatedly. Number one wins. Yeah, they played next year.
I'm going to go, what am I going to go with?
I'll go Hurricane Sixers as well. There, but the Hurricanes
is gonna get the job. That they're going to get
their first title. They've got just so many good T
twenty specific players and it just never clicks for him.
But it's finally clicking in the.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Does that mean? Does that mean the final we played
at Ninja Stadium or whatever it could be?
Speaker 1 (14:58):
That is some great advertise for Ninja Creamy.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
It could also sponsor this show, if they could Grill
with Grilled not a sponsor.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, all right, there we go. So we've got Hurricane
Six's and Stars even though Stars haven't made yet, but
they could. They could have their first title. Who knows,
who knows the whey they're going. They just see MAXI
to make ninety otherwise their stuff I reckon? All right?

All right, last couple of nights Big BBL talking points
Strikers and Sixers for a couple of nights ago really
came down to the second last ball. I don't know
what you guys saw that one, but a lot happened.
Yeah I didn't, I must admit didn't see too much
(15:49):
of it. That's right. I saw Steve Smith again thirty
x so stuff. He's such a freak. He's there's absolute freak.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
What.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, I'm trying to think of if he if he
does open, he continued, could he open for the Sixers
in the finals. Is that a possibility or they going
to keep him? I don't know if he's available.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I think he's only available to play three.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yes, I thought about that. Does that change your pick
of the Sixers without Steve's.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Missing, because they're just so boring, they're just away win
have won for a while. But I would love even
though I don't want the Stars to win it, I
would love to see a Hurricane Stars final.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah. That's just like two new teams. Yep. Like one
of them is going to see success for the first time. Yep,
I like it. I just wrote down this one down
lucky Shore. I wouldn't usually put down amazing fielding. It
was really good fielding. But I don't know if you
guys saw the fan footage. There was a guy either
a security guy or something. They got out of his
chair to film exactly as it happened, like right there.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
He works he works for the oh, he worked for
someone I saw. I saw the actual video on it
looks awesome.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
If people want to check that out, Yeah, I have
not seen that. I'll check it out. Yeah. It's like
he's literally standing you can't really see h much.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You're standing on the Andrew and then you just see
Lachlan Shaw's body just come flying.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
It was cool, Yeah, because he just flew past like Superman.
That's pretty cool. A good little stop by a locky
shore over and again, even though he's a bit of
a tool, he loves arguing with the umpires and argument
with the players. Maybe that's why he's a Pommy. He
always does that. But he had two wickets and at
thirty two not out him. Sutherland and dwarshs I Reckon
have been the best all rounders and then like in
Big Bash as well, and he was not he was
(17:28):
last week.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Overendon thinks he's like in w W A or something.
He argues with the umpires and it's going to start
some biff.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Did you see this is sort of related to remember
the Tom Current incident last year. Yeah, David Warner put
out a tweet saying he feels sorry for Tom Current
about that incident because now he gets celebrities to bowl
in the pitch. First of all, we had celebrities last
year do it. Second of all, David like it's the
fact that he brushes past the umpire and ignores his request.
(17:59):
Listened to the umpire, David, you know, you know, bloody,
it's not about whether he can bowl in the wicked
or not. If the umpire tells you not to, then
you don't do it. Celebrity thing is different to that.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Great, So get off Twitter, get off TikTok.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
David, and focus on playing for your bloody Premier League
cricket team.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Because I don't want to see you for it's too far.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Listen, listen to him, David, Andrew Warner.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Oh he's got the middle Andrew, jeez, there we go.
Good call, but he's a bit fined up with David. Sorry,
David Water all right. Next game, last night's game, Matt
Wade wins it on the last ball for Hoe, but
one needed off the last ball, but he hits a
six against Xavier Baaler. The crowd goes wild. Marcus was
(18:45):
going wild last night with the cricket, but.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Not like you going out for drinks and look at.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, that's all right, I'm allow. I'm allowed to do
what I want at the cricket there. I wasn't at well,
I'm going to go to Hobart for a night's into
stating if I was host, I would if I had
a private Jedi. So was at the gabba? Oh the Gabba?
I'm like it was a fire there. I'm glad I wasn't.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Therenus Manus hit some runs.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, he's very good.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
It would have been nice if you did that throughout
the series a little bit more often. But yeah, seventy
seven or forty four.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Very good effort. Yeah, yeah, Caleb Jaw was seventy six
as well. You've got Spencer Johnson and Nathan Alice three
for so Nathan Alys's like, oh, it's got picked in
the other team. Yeah, I well deserved another three for
for him. A little bit expensive, but still he.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Actually knows Shane out though to Alice the last over
where the heat could have put on an extra ten
to fifteen runs with Lava, Shane and also up at
the crease. Ye, I think it only I think he
got two wickets, he got Laba, Shane and Alsop out
and it only went for like five runs and you
end up winning. They ended up winning on the last ball.
So it's little stuff like that that Hobart have nailed
(19:59):
this year and that's why they're the best team.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's a good call. They've they've been really good at
the death. They've got a lot of good bowlers that
can bowl the deaf because you've got Chris Jordan. Even
Riley Meredith has been not as like wayward or a
lot more economical. That's Chris Jordan.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I've heard rumors that he's leaving like every second game,
and now he's still with the Like, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Is he still? I think he's going to the International League,
So don't pick him in super coach.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And then he's well he didn't play, did Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah he was out? He was out, Oh he was out.
This is a mystery. He didn't play because he was injured, though,
I think, yeah, what's going on with him? Maybe he's
playing an in secret tournament like overseas private jet. Coming
back to the Bile game is everywhere that man. All right,
that's enough for BBR talking pouts, BBL quick fire tips.
We're actually going to do a quick fire because we've
got four games. Well, we'll talk a bit more about
(20:48):
the Scorches Strikers. Actually, I'm happy. I'm happy with that
we can we can talk about whichever game he would likely.
I'm happy with that Six's versus the Thunder is the
first one. Obviously second verse they've already locked in seconds.
It's not a huge it's for the home final, home final.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Actually good, Yeah, Sixes, Yeah, yeah, I think the Sixers
as well.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah. Nice Renegades versus the Heat. I think Heat win
by record amount. Renegade. Yeah, it's Reneges are gonna even
try this one there in shambles.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
As much as I want to say Renegades, I think
I think they Heat. No, Jacob Bethel's big out.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, got eighty seven last game and can can have
a bowl, So yeah, I'll go. I'll go the Heat
as well. That they always build at the right end
of the season, so they should have a really good
game there. Yeah, you want to talk about this one.
Scorches versus the Strikers, there's actually usually a really good
matchup but both teams. Both of these teams can still
make finals. They can still make finals, so it's very
unlikely though they could not. Really there's a chance. What
(21:50):
do we think about this one?
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I think Scorches get it done, even if they do
roll out of some of the depth players.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Well, for in a row, someone like the Gorches, there's
the benchmark of the team of the league. That the team.
I'll say that again, they're the benchmark of the league.
This Gorch is like this is soone like them losing
for in a row. I think I'm going to lead
towards the strike. Is they got load Pope, They've got
They're just he's leading the wickets, isn't he in the
comps somehow, even though he bowls to Rogers is up
(22:19):
there too. Tom Rodgers is the goat. So just the
Lloyd Pope.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Going at nine point twenty five and over there, Voyd Pope.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, oh boy, oh boy.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
As a spin you sort of want your spinner to
be a little bit more economical than that.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
No, I agree, I agree obviously the Scorches Cooper Connolly awesome,
but they just need someone else to lift with the bat.
They've got so many good players and they're just being
so inconsistent. Other than Cooper Connolly had to get a
couple of wickets this season more than usual. Just they
need someone to lift.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
They've got They've got two of the top four wicket
takers in the tournament in Lance Morrison, the bearn Dorf.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Don't bring up Lance Morrows, that guy. I hates him,
over read, but you're right.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
There needs to be more runs from somewhere else and
has to come from the bat of Mitch marsh Oh even.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
No, he's not even playing.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I don't think is he not playing this final game.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I don't think he played the last game. I reckon
he was injured. That's why he didn't play last game.
Maybe yeah, maybe he was just out of form. He's
like now, I don't want to play any more lads anyway,
So I'm going Strikers two gone Scorches, Yes, scorches.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Oh jeez, That Scorches batting line up just doesn't look great,
does it.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Nick Hobson Legacy Games Strikers, Yet I like it. Last
one Stars versus the Hurricanes the biggest match to end
the season. If the Stars win, they most likely will
make the finals. What do we think lads. Not most
likely they will make finals. Oh, yeah, I think Stars win.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Look what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
He's doing what I did. No, I believe it. I
believe he had points before. And the Hurricanes will team
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yeah, I think the Stars have won last four. Your
Hurricanes will change their team at the end.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Team the form team of the continent.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Well, the Hurricanes have won seven in a row. Yes,
I think they're the form team. I don't know. Alright,
So you guys are going Stars, I'm going the cane train,
Come on the Hurricanes.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
They're gonna No, no, I'm going.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I'm going.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I'm going the Hurricanes trying to think. Yeah, you know,
like you said, Leo, mate, there's seven on the trot.
It'll be an absolute embarrassment. If they lose to the
to the Cereal Chokers, Melbourne Stars and and lose. Can
they lose Top Sport? They're going to lose Top Sport.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
They're gonna They're gonna roll out the Lon Cesston Premier team.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
They won seven in a row and they're going to
lose Top Sport in a ten game tournament.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Not happening, boys, not happening. Not happening, all right, Super coach. Wash?
What is this point down here? Leo dominates in super Coach.
You've got a few clubs about super coachs le very good.
It's not it's not easy, but me, yeah, you finally
got it out. I figured it out.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Round eight Super Coach is a tough game for some,
but not for this guy.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Right the sky right? What was your score Leo for
a round eight? One thousand, two hundred and eighty one? Oh?
Very that? What is that? What? What was that? What
did that put you in the in the round because
that would be I didn't check that. Do you want
to check that? Yeah? Why not? What was my phones
on the floor so I have to go get it?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Didn't crack the k on four.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
It's not easy, mate, it's not easy. I got one
thousand and seventy three. Pretty happy with that. I want
to see I reckon Leo would have been right up
there in the oh. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
There were some big schools over the week. There were
a lot of players score some lot of.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I know I see that on bb OL. Home mate,
go home, yeah home. Oh my god, you're rookie. I
thought it was in I thought it was in range
two hundred and seventy three. Oh like fifty something one thousand.
I think it is fifty six thousand. Yeah, very nice,
Well done. There we go. Then the top player got
fifteen over fifteen hundred.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Where are you ranked in your total school?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yeah? I don't think it was saying my phone died? Shame?
Where are you Marke? I reckon, it's dead. So we
should have a bet because I reckon we're going to
be around the same was it season?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Season rank five thousand and eighty seven out of out
of fifty six thousand, four hundred and twenty.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I'm six thousand, three hundred, right behind you and the
top eight percent. I reckon. We're going to have a
little bit there. We'll have to think about it. We'll
see at the end of the season. All right, super coach,
So we want to talk all things super coach. Round
nine so to Actually I was going to say this
the last round, but there's two rounds to go. No, mate, sorry,
last round.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Right, you've actually had a man with babyl this this
this podcast. You need to admit that your heart is
not with cricket anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It is it is with cricket. It is.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I swear I'm most four games, laft mate, come on,
well you've got this.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Listen to me if you want to have a good
finish to your Super Coach season, by I'm buying if
you don't already have him. He's been in my team
last couple weeks. But make sure you buy Mitch Ollen.
Leo has been talking him up. He's the best player
in Super Coach right now. He's even having a bowl.
So the start of the season I think he only
bowled one over in the first probably five or six games.
The last couple of games he's been bowling and getting
some wickets. So Mitchellen, he could get a hundred can
(27:24):
it can absolutely smoke him. He's going to get a fifty.
I reckon in this round. So make sure you buy
Mitch Olden. The Stars bowling against the Stars bowling which
took the Renegades to the cleaners somehow.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
But if anyone can hit Peter Siddle into retirement, it
is Mitch olan.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Ah, you dog, but yeah he could. I'm holding David
Warner obviously it was a bit down only you scored
eighteen points in round eight. But you know what we're
going to get from Davy. They really need him to
score runs. At the top order, and he's been unbelievable form.
He's probably been one of the best batters, most consistent
batters in the competition. So make sure top run score
as well. There you go, So make sure your hold, Davy,
(27:58):
I'm selling this is a big call, Leo. I'm selling
Matt Short. He's two hundred and sixty one thousand too much.
He's too much. You know, he's called sixteen points last round,
all right. He could get one hundred every now and then,
but he hasn't been at his best this season. If
you want to finish the round and the super Coach
season strongly, you can get two good players for two
hundred and sixty one thousand rather than holding on to
Matt Short because if he gets out early, he hasn't
(28:20):
been bowling as much as well. So I reckon, you're
gonna sell Matt Short, even though it's risky. So fingers
crossing doesn't make a hundred now and that'll be yeah kicking.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I think on the Perth deck he might actually might
find the hardest score runs as well.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, So I reckon he's going to get out cheaply.
Get rid of Mat Short and make sure you get
to maybe a bit of the kiel chowder in your
team as well too. Yeah, Marcus doesn't mind him all right.
That's by holds self a super coach. Let's finish it off,
lads with the question slash fan comments. Do you want
to read some of those ones out? Marcus? I think
you chucked him in there.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Sure can YouTube. This is my favorite comment almost almost
of the summer new from certified plumbboy fan favorite. He said,
new favorite cricket channel, the great Cricketer shaking in their
boots right.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Now, great cricketer. I wouldn't even know who we are.
They were, they would We're everywhere.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Were on news Corp articles mate, Channel seven, We'll be
on channel We've been on Northern Territory News.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Cant their heart out.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
The cans posts, mate, We're everywhere. They can knocket on that.
I like that from certified Very.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Good coming joking of course, TGC is a very good
Yes Facebook, Josh Ryan, this is about the BBL. Why
the hell don't BBL games start earlier? It needs to
be done by ten pm?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
This so very angry there.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, I'm just I'm just replicating his tone.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
So this is one of those AI voices that just
get angry. This was actually a mate that messaged me
that said that he yeah, and I was like thinking
about it. But maybe for kids and things like that
probably needs to be started to be I don't think
they should start at seventeen six fifteen. You reckon earlier?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
What's seven I'm gonna do?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
That's just sorry. I thought I was seven thirty be
starting seven thirty?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah, yeah, I think I think I think six six
thirty start.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah, I think mid mid don't go to work go
to the big bash at midday now, I don't. I
don't mind earlier start because I.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Was I was getting ready to go to bed, I know,
like the evacuation and stuff for true yea last night,
but I was better go to bed and there were
still nine ten overs to go in the Brisbane heat
Hobile game at twenty past eleven.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Yeah, that's not ideal. That is not idea because they'll
be losing the viewers. Yeah, make sure it starts earlier.
Whit Why not get the kids to the games. Well,
there's no kids going to a game that finishes at
eleven like during the week. Yeah, very often, very often.
Last one on TikTok on trying to fit Green and
Webster into the same World Test Championship team. I'm going
to read those ones out, Marcus draw just George as
(31:02):
he got actually actually got that, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Drop Marnus Green or Smith into three?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Oh? Sorry George?
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Thanks, that's pretty that's pretty stiff on solid.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah, what do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
So I don't agree with that one? And also this
one copped a lot more copt a lot more hate, Leo,
what do you reckon? Well, we can talk about what
we think after.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
We read the comments.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Sounds good minutes this this one actually copt a lot
more hate than the other comments at J M T
B said Smith retire, Marnus spat it for constant about
at three and cam Bancroft back into open where that got?
Speaker 1 (31:48):
That got ratioed heavily.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
None of that is good And I think that got
way more like it's.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
The worst cricket opinion, love, the worst I've ever heard.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
But it's a bit it's not the worst, Jay, but
you know, out of the box thinking is that Michael
Vaughan's banner accounts the worst cricket winion in the world. Usually,
if Michael Vaughan had charge of Australia Cricket. He would
be like, what are England doing? Let's copy that, Jake
Bras mcgo to back three first, let's do it and tests.
Yeah with Sam Constas and Buddy. Who else will he
(32:22):
get it? Bring back David Water? Yeah, So I don't
think either of those. I don't think you can drop
Marnus Smith's not going to retire. He's he's hanging around
chocer box.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Well, I think it's too dangerous to bring Cam Green back.
I don't even think he plays in the World Test
Championship Final. I think he's in the squad, but I
don't think he plays.
Speaker 1 (32:38):

stumps for the Cricket Today Show. Thanks to the Tap Judge,
