But if you want to find out why Sri Lanka
is going to do well this World Cup, stay.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Tuned, stay tuned, all right, and then we just lost
our audience.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
We've also got the man's number one fang.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
In Marcus Bars.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Recent ranking on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I think you said before the show you didn't like
omon no I like to a terrible pun.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Oh yeah, anyway, let's get into it before we start
get around Spotify, Apple Podcasts, subscribe on YouTube, but trying
to get a thousand follow a thousand subscribers to keep subscribing.
And that's as we'll go through it and Papua New
Guineas number on.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Subscribe and we'll give you a sticker. We'll give you
a well give him on that.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
We'll give him. That's another weird one. Anyway, let's get
into it.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I cut out myself, buddy, we can't. We're just going
to start off with the winner. Is that We're going
to start with who we think.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Is going to win the tournament? Wants to hear as
we went through every team that's been out that's on
our YouTube.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Go check that out.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
We did pass.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Now we're deciphering a winner.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I'm going to start with Marcus on this one, because
you guys have different different ones.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
He wa.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Well, we said the past mark for Australia was to
make the final.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
And because we Australian, I'm just going to say.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Australia, reasons why, Please give me some reasons why.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Because we're chronic winners, chronic chronic winners.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Most World Cups in history.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Yeah, because we're also a chronic pain into a lot
of nations.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Give you that.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
So who's going to Who's I think that I think
we've got.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
It's so well rounded because the bowling attack is always
as it is, and I.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Think that's I'm so consistent.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
It's so consistent, it's always the same three and then
xample of the spinner for the short format I think
it's important to have consistency. We've got players who won
the od I Worke Cup, the Travis Head who did
it in an od I worked Cup final against India
in India. Yep, there's no doubt with his i PL
form he can do it in the twenty twenty short format.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
And we just got other players in the middle order
as well.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
I think we've got the most damaging middle order with
Tim David Mark.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, was going to have a big time.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
I just think I struggled to find an area in
the Australian team which we didn't have a team nation preview.
Possibly the spinners, but where is the weakness?
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Weakness?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah? I like that.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
He originally said nothing and it was beautiful And that
was beautiful. Thanks, it was beautiful. Anything positive about Astralia
I'm always here for.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Don't you want to go because you want to piggyback
on that?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
All right? That was so weird. I want piggyback on that.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I think the depth of Australia, you can't go past
them as the winners just know how to win finals,
unlike South Africa, unlike Shri Lanka, unlike you've got I'm
like India. Whi's a lot of India fans know they
crumble in the final, same as Pakistan as well. Yeah,
the most trustworthy team in this tournament is Australia performed.
It's pretty much the same team. I think it's eleven
(03:11):
or twelve players that have won a World Cup. They
know how to do it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So I'm going to go.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Let me tell you why India is going to win
the World Cup. Oh the enemy, what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Don't bring up the IPL?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
No, why would I bring up the IPL? Now? The IPL?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Now India will win because these the conditions and the
squad they've picked. I think it's the most compatible. Okay,
that makes sense. I think they've got the bowlers, the
quicks and the spinners to change ups to just dominate
on these wickets. They've got the batting that can anchor colic,
can anchor innings, and then you've got the explosive bats
as well. Great mix of experience in young, young talent yep.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
So yeah, try to just feel like India overseas as Yeah,
I agree with in your face in India, and I
think the conditions, particularly in America, suits teams like Australian conditions.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Why is that. I don't know what's the conditions?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
In what conditions was It's not as dry moist, there's
more cloud cover and temperatures is very similar to.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It's gonna be like twenty five thirty, I reckon around
this time of year in America, so it'd be pretty
hot stalk not as dry as India.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I just see India.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, I disagree with that, respectful, the first respectful disagree.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
We've had this.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
No, I always respectfully disagree. I just sometimes shouted.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
All right, so yes, respect really shout.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
All right, We're going to Australia. Australia.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, I think India.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
That's fair enough.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I think that definitely those two are going to be
in the fun. So I shouldn't say definitely those predictions
that God go for it because I really like Pakistani
going to win again, say stuff.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
They were the only two teams that we had as
the past mark to make make the.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Phone yep, I think, and I wouldn't be surprised if
Pakistan somehow not at India.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
That'd be that'd be a lot of fun, the two
enemies going at it all right. Live stream for the game,
live stream, Yeah, twelve thirty.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'll be there.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, we'll not there.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah about we're getting a new video.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Olivia wants to go home.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
In fact, she came in today loving this job, and
now she's leaving today.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Maybe I picked the wrong with we went three hours
of cricket. I love it, love this anyway.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
A lot of people probably don't mention the pizzas that
we get during the last roome Oh pizza. She got
a sponsorship the tournament Player of the tournament, Thank you
very much, Marcus pizza. No free ads, not a sponsor,
all right, who I'll start with you there this time
player as the tournament.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Very biased r.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
C B fan here, he brought up, I'm not me.
I didn't vera coley Player of the Tournament.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Oh that's a boring pick?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Is it a boring pick?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah? Well you're a boring individual anyway, Why is it
going to be? Why not? What do you tell me
something about I'll tell you something. He's the best t
twey player in the world right now. That's just the fact,
is he is. Okay, Yeah, he made the most runs
in the IPR as I as I said, I might
(06:03):
have been in one of the.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
First preview videos. He has the hottest player in the
world at the moment. And I'm not talking about his looks.
He's still up there with the looks as well. Yeah looks.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, there you go, a very Kyle. That's honestly a
fair call. India are going to go well then verk
is going to be the leader anyway. So it is boring,
but fact.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
It's another fact that's comes true. Very Colin is going
to get a word.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Fact it just cases whatever I said.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Yeah, Marcus, there you go.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Well, because I think Australia tipped Australia to win the tournament,
I'm gonna tip in Australian player to win the and
play the tournament and you stole what was going to
be my God, Edwards, I'm actually going to go Mitchell
Marsh because not only because he can he can damage
the game.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
He can make you can make a quick half.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Century, but he can also get wickets with the ball
and he has he has a lot of change ups
for a medium pacer as well.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah but yeah, like he's not like he's not going
to get taken.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Like he can do both. Iound a very good standing.
I think if he's going to win player at the tournament.
It might have nothing to do with his bowling.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I think.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
It'll do.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
It'll do with his batting more so than his bowling.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
To be the leading run scorer, right, yeah, if you
want to be a player.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Although will he bowl if Cam Green plays.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Probably not, maybe not, but he could. He still could
do very well with that.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I'd argue he's more suited to the conditions of cam Green.
But that's a whole nother that's a whole nother.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Podcast, a whole other podcast, and you won't even be honest.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
That's got who you are.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Thank you, said trap Ball. He's probably every team in
the world want trap Ball at the moment. He's awesome.
He's going to be coming in at the perfect time
for him to play shots. And as he showed it
in the i PL, not the last game third most
runs in the IP he.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Cares about the last game. That was a fellows that
got him out.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
They're on the same team, so he doesn't have to
worry about Mitchell Starr both. Thank you, But I just
think he's going to be the most damaging. I wouldn't
be surprised if he has a bit of a bawl.
As we mentioned, there's the spinning depth is a worry
and I think if he bowls against some of the
lower teams he can get wickets very easily because he's
a good Yeah, it's almost like my favorite player to
(08:06):
watch good mustache. Definitely Australia's most favorite player to watch. Yeah,
I think he's the cult hero of the team at
the moment. I say so. Tread ball very excited thing
is going to be played for the tournament and continue
his Sunrise's form.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
All right, next one surprise packet. How long we got?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Not that long because we've been here long enough. Then
I'll just speak because I want to talk for a
long time on this. Well, you got bloody sh Anchor
in there, surprise pack le, what do you got?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Afghanistan will overperform. Yeah, I think they'll do really well.
I like their squad.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
They're going to make it out of the group.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I think they'll make it out of the group, just
over the Windys. That's tough though, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That's a bad call. But we'll get it.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Will Jacks as a player really likes what he brought
to r c B. Yes, sorry brought up Marcus, but
he's in hot form.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Good with the bad.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Form doesn't count.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Apparently it does.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I think it definitely does, but but not arguing it
cans for not that much.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
And I think the way he plays is good for
these conditions, with his bowling and his batting.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
So there you go. I think Sri Lanka they are
going to do some damage in this tournament. They will, they.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Will clip it, elipit.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
They will finish above South Africa in.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No, I can't even talk about are you Are you
all right in the head?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Great? And you definitely need a holiday.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Out of the group stage for ten years.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, history is meant to be broken.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Also history is also seemed like to be repeated.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
This is a bit behind the camera, is behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Leo literally about forty six hours ago as time six
hours was saying South Africa can win this tournament, and
now I say it's.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Like, I know, but I think I think South Africa
will still have a good tournament. I think they'll come second.
And I do like their team. But Sri Lanka.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Probably talking to we love a big call on our show,
the big call.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I laugh at me, l you know what happened.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I want I want them to finish first. I don't
care if they go out in the Super eight. If
they finish first, I'm going to come back and I'm
going to play that meme. It's like you all laughed
at me, laughing, laughing that some British joker.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, some British guy. Oh you are laughed at me.
It's a pomp.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Anyway, that's enough from Leo and Lanka. Marcus surprise packet
sports bracket.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Now this is a bold call that will become correct.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Netherlands will progress out of Group D and make it
into the final. What really, that's going to be my
surprise Netherlans.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
In Sri Lanka and South Africa's group.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah they are. They're going to be better than Slanka.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Just back they would say that before they will progress.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
We have a bet on who finishes higher. Netherlands a showing.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Yeah what's your bet?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Just I don't know. Sandwich but yeah, sandwich fat, yeah, sandwich.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Point or palmer pint of sandwich when we go to
the pub boys right after this because we need a break.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Oh my god, all right, I'm going to surprise packet
West Indies. I think at home, I think mine is
less of a bigger big call than you guys.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
You want to you want a player from the same
nation boring?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Is this guy my typical horst?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
You guys literally said West is running back out of
the group.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
The biggest disappointment in because his disappointments hosting the show
with you guys anyway, West, Indies and Nicholas Baran Nicks.
Baran was averaging thirty three in the i PL. He's
been awesome, average twenty eight with the bat one forty
strike rate. I think he can get that up towards
one sixty plus in this time. Is he a surprise
packet though, because he's well, he's never been good. Nobody's
never performed at a World Cup at a World Cup,
(11:57):
so I think this is his sprice packet.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Not enough people talk thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Thank you, because they're going to come over the out
of the group stage and surprise everyone and go we're
playing at home. We know these conditions really well and
we're going to be the surprise backet.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
There.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
We got a right next one biggest disappointment. I haven't
got anything in here, so I'll start with you guys,
well I think of it. We'll go with Marcus because
every time we started Marcus.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Disappointment with Lenka Srlanco finishing bottom two in the Norlanka
are finishing fourth. No, they're finishing fourth and then finishing
(12:44):
make a game out of Sri Lanka. I'm telling you now, No,
Sri Lanka biggest disappointment because again they're just not going
to progress to the to the finals the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
And as a player was Adam zample Ah really? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Do you think Australia example.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
I'm Adam Zamper, so I'm not sold him against when
it comes to the nitty gridy and we're going towards
the end of a tournament.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
I don't trust Adam samp Okay, okay, that's much.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
About it is a little bit about trust to land
the ball, trust them things.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
I feel like spinner is always destined to take wickets
in tournaments in twenty twenties, yep, just because they're harder
to hit than past balls.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
And yeah, you don't think he's gonna get enough wikets And.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
I think like play played batters, we'll get get more
aggressive and get more or crap, there's been a couple
of dollars that much. We actually need to hit some
runs and that's where his wickets come from right. But
then again, I'd love for him to prove me wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yep, no, yeah, true as he who's your biggest disappointment?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Shot someone?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I got a little bit distracted there, joff Cher because
what's he mean up to? We don't know, like going
to yeah come into this like is he going to
be quick? Is he going to be like at his best? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Interesting? A lot unknown with him, So I think he'll
let let us stand a little bit.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Maybe, well, I doesn't keep it that short. I'm going
to go Johnny Bears though with three ends.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Yeah hate my cursor was covering the h.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I think something's going to happen in this in this
Cricket World Cup, like the Australian England match where he
walked out his crease. Something is going to happen something
and hate Johnny Best again. So I think he's going
to be the biggest disappointment. I think he's got to
fire for this team to go really well, because he's
that middle order sort of guy that can make a
big score.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Can he'll open open He's been bad. What is open?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I don't know if he opens England maybe anyway, I
think he might struggle and maybe that's just being being
a biased does he feel want to it'll be but
oh yeah, yeah, best.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Maybe like five or something.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Anyway, I think he might struggle and he does in
the big pressurize environment. I want to see how he goes.
So he's going to be my biggest disappointment. All Right,
we're done.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
We've done that. Thank God for that, Leo. It was
just about the same.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Thank god, thank god, thank god, thank god. Show anchor.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yes and Australia. All right, that's stumps. I'm calling it again.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
The amount of I have to call it very quickly
when we've recorded in this studio is enough.
Speaker 4 (15:16):

Now we're deciphering a winner.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I'm going to start with Marcus on this one, because
you guys have different different ones.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
He wa.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Well, we said the past mark for Australia was to
make the final.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
And because we Australian, I'm just going to say.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Australia, reasons why, Please give me some reasons why.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Because we're chronic winners, chronic chronic winners.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Most World Cups in history.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Yeah, because we're also a chronic pain into a lot
of nations.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Give you that.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
So who's going to Who's I think that I think
we've got.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
It's so well rounded because the bowling attack is always
as it is, and I.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Think that's I'm so consistent.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
It's so consistent, it's always the same three and then
xample of the spinner for the short format I think
it's important to have consistency. We've got players who won
the od I Worke Cup, the Travis Head who did
it in an od I worked Cup final against India
in India. Yep, there's no doubt with his i PL
form he can do it in the twenty twenty short format.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
And we just got other players in the middle order
as well.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
I think we've got the most damaging middle order with
Tim David Mark.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, was going to have a big time.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
I just think I struggled to find an area in
the Australian team which we didn't have a team nation preview.
Possibly the spinners, but where is the weakness?
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Weakness?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah? I like that.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
He originally said nothing and it was beautiful And that
was beautiful. Thanks, it was beautiful. Anything positive about Astralia
I'm always here for.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Don't you want to go because you want to piggyback
on that?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
All right? That was so weird. I want piggyback on that.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I think the depth of Australia, you can't go past
them as the winners just know how to win finals,
unlike South Africa, unlike Shri Lanka, unlike you've got I'm
like India. Whi's a lot of India fans know they
crumble in the final, same as Pakistan as well. Yeah,
the most trustworthy team in this tournament is Australia performed.
It's pretty much the same team. I think it's eleven
(03:11):
or twelve players that have won a World Cup. They
know how to do it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So I'm going to go.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Let me tell you why India is going to win
the World Cup. Oh the enemy, what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Don't bring up the IPL?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
No, why would I bring up the IPL? Now? The IPL?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Now India will win because these the conditions and the
squad they've picked. I think it's the most compatible. Okay,
that makes sense. I think they've got the bowlers, the
quicks and the spinners to change ups to just dominate
on these wickets. They've got the batting that can anchor colic,
can anchor innings, and then you've got the explosive bats
as well. Great mix of experience in young, young talent yep.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
So yeah, try to just feel like India overseas as Yeah,
I agree with in your face in India, and I
think the conditions, particularly in America, suits teams like Australian conditions.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Why is that. I don't know what's the conditions?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
In what conditions was It's not as dry moist, there's
more cloud cover and temperatures is very similar to.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It's gonna be like twenty five thirty, I reckon around
this time of year in America, so it'd be pretty
hot stalk not as dry as India.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I just see India.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, I disagree with that, respectful, the first respectful disagree.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
We've had this.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
No, I always respectfully disagree. I just sometimes shouted.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
All right, so yes, respect really shout.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
All right, We're going to Australia. Australia.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, I think India.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
That's fair enough.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I think that definitely those two are going to be
in the fun. So I shouldn't say definitely those predictions
that God go for it because I really like Pakistani
going to win again, say stuff.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
They were the only two teams that we had as
the past mark to make make the.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Phone yep, I think, and I wouldn't be surprised if
Pakistan somehow not at India.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
That'd be that'd be a lot of fun, the two
enemies going at it all right. Live stream for the game,
live stream, Yeah, twelve thirty.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'll be there.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, we'll not there.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah about we're getting a new video.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Olivia wants to go home.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
In fact, she came in today loving this job, and
now she's leaving today.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Maybe I picked the wrong with we went three hours
of cricket. I love it, love this anyway.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
A lot of people probably don't mention the pizzas that
we get during the last roome Oh pizza. She got
a sponsorship the tournament Player of the tournament, Thank you
very much, Marcus pizza. No free ads, not a sponsor,
all right, who I'll start with you there this time
player as the tournament.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Very biased r.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
C B fan here, he brought up, I'm not me.
I didn't vera coley Player of the Tournament.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Oh that's a boring pick?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Is it a boring pick?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah? Well you're a boring individual anyway, Why is it
going to be? Why not? What do you tell me
something about I'll tell you something. He's the best t
twey player in the world right now. That's just the fact,
is he is. Okay, Yeah, he made the most runs
in the IPR as I as I said, I might
(06:03):
have been in one of the.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
First preview videos. He has the hottest player in the
world at the moment. And I'm not talking about his looks.
He's still up there with the looks as well. Yeah looks.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, there you go, a very Kyle. That's honestly a
fair call. India are going to go well then verk
is going to be the leader anyway. So it is boring,
but fact.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
It's another fact that's comes true. Very Colin is going
to get a word.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Fact it just cases whatever I said.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Yeah, Marcus, there you go.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Well, because I think Australia tipped Australia to win the tournament,
I'm gonna tip in Australian player to win the and
play the tournament and you stole what was going to
be my God, Edwards, I'm actually going to go Mitchell
Marsh because not only because he can he can damage
the game.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
He can make you can make a quick half.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Century, but he can also get wickets with the ball
and he has he has a lot of change ups
for a medium pacer as well.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah but yeah, like he's not like he's not going
to get taken.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Like he can do both. Iound a very good standing.
I think if he's going to win player at the tournament.
It might have nothing to do with his bowling.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I think.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
It'll do.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
It'll do with his batting more so than his bowling.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
To be the leading run scorer, right, yeah, if you
want to be a player.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Although will he bowl if Cam Green plays.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Probably not, maybe not, but he could. He still could
do very well with that.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I'd argue he's more suited to the conditions of cam Green.
But that's a whole nother that's a whole nother.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Podcast, a whole other podcast, and you won't even be honest.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
That's got who you are.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Thank you, said trap Ball. He's probably every team in
the world want trap Ball at the moment. He's awesome.
He's going to be coming in at the perfect time
for him to play shots. And as he showed it
in the i PL, not the last game third most
runs in the IP he.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Cares about the last game. That was a fellows that
got him out.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
They're on the same team, so he doesn't have to
worry about Mitchell Starr both. Thank you, But I just
think he's going to be the most damaging. I wouldn't
be surprised if he has a bit of a bawl.
As we mentioned, there's the spinning depth is a worry
and I think if he bowls against some of the
lower teams he can get wickets very easily because he's
a good Yeah, it's almost like my favorite player to
(08:06):
watch good mustache. Definitely Australia's most favorite player to watch. Yeah,
I think he's the cult hero of the team at
the moment. I say so. Tread ball very excited thing
is going to be played for the tournament and continue
his Sunrise's form.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
All right, next one surprise packet. How long we got?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Not that long because we've been here long enough. Then
I'll just speak because I want to talk for a
long time on this. Well, you got bloody sh Anchor
in there, surprise pack le, what do you got?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Afghanistan will overperform. Yeah, I think they'll do really well.
I like their squad.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
They're going to make it out of the group.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I think they'll make it out of the group, just
over the Windys. That's tough though, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That's a bad call. But we'll get it.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Will Jacks as a player really likes what he brought
to r c B. Yes, sorry brought up Marcus, but
he's in hot form.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Good with the bad.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Form doesn't count.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Apparently it does.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I think it definitely does, but but not arguing it
cans for not that much.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
And I think the way he plays is good for
these conditions, with his bowling and his batting.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
So there you go. I think Sri Lanka they are
going to do some damage in this tournament. They will, they.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Will clip it, elipit.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
They will finish above South Africa in.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No, I can't even talk about are you Are you
all right in the head?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Great? And you definitely need a holiday.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Out of the group stage for ten years.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, history is meant to be broken.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Also history is also seemed like to be repeated.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
This is a bit behind the camera, is behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Leo literally about forty six hours ago as time six
hours was saying South Africa can win this tournament, and
now I say it's.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Like, I know, but I think I think South Africa
will still have a good tournament. I think they'll come second.
And I do like their team. But Sri Lanka.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Probably talking to we love a big call on our show,
the big call.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I laugh at me, l you know what happened.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I want I want them to finish first. I don't
care if they go out in the Super eight. If
they finish first, I'm going to come back and I'm
going to play that meme. It's like you all laughed
at me, laughing, laughing that some British joker.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, some British guy. Oh you are laughed at me.
It's a pomp.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Anyway, that's enough from Leo and Lanka. Marcus surprise packet
sports bracket.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Now this is a bold call that will become correct.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Netherlands will progress out of Group D and make it
into the final. What really, that's going to be my
surprise Netherlans.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
In Sri Lanka and South Africa's group.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah they are. They're going to be better than Slanka.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Just back they would say that before they will progress.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
We have a bet on who finishes higher. Netherlands a showing.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Yeah what's your bet?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Just I don't know. Sandwich but yeah, sandwich fat, yeah, sandwich.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Point or palmer pint of sandwich when we go to
the pub boys right after this because we need a break.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Oh my god, all right, I'm going to surprise packet
West Indies. I think at home, I think mine is
less of a bigger big call than you guys.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
You want to you want a player from the same
nation boring?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Is this guy my typical horst?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
You guys literally said West is running back out of
the group.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
The biggest disappointment in because his disappointments hosting the show
with you guys anyway, West, Indies and Nicholas Baran Nicks.
Baran was averaging thirty three in the i PL. He's
been awesome, average twenty eight with the bat one forty
strike rate. I think he can get that up towards
one sixty plus in this time. Is he a surprise
packet though, because he's well, he's never been good. Nobody's
never performed at a World Cup at a World Cup,
(11:57):
so I think this is his sprice packet.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Not enough people talk thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Thank you, because they're going to come over the out
of the group stage and surprise everyone and go we're
playing at home. We know these conditions really well and
we're going to be the surprise backet.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
There.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
We got a right next one biggest disappointment. I haven't
got anything in here, so I'll start with you guys,
well I think of it. We'll go with Marcus because
every time we started Marcus.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Disappointment with Lenka Srlanco finishing bottom two in the Norlanka
are finishing fourth. No, they're finishing fourth and then finishing
(12:44):
make a game out of Sri Lanka. I'm telling you now, No,
Sri Lanka biggest disappointment because again they're just not going
to progress to the to the finals the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
And as a player was Adam zample Ah really? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Do you think Australia example.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
I'm Adam Zamper, so I'm not sold him against when
it comes to the nitty gridy and we're going towards
the end of a tournament.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
I don't trust Adam samp Okay, okay, that's much.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
About it is a little bit about trust to land
the ball, trust them things.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
I feel like spinner is always destined to take wickets
in tournaments in twenty twenties, yep, just because they're harder
to hit than past balls.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
And yeah, you don't think he's gonna get enough wikets And.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
I think like play played batters, we'll get get more
aggressive and get more or crap, there's been a couple
of dollars that much. We actually need to hit some
runs and that's where his wickets come from right. But
then again, I'd love for him to prove me wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yep, no, yeah, true as he who's your biggest disappointment?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Shot someone?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I got a little bit distracted there, joff Cher because
what's he mean up to? We don't know, like going
to yeah come into this like is he going to
be quick? Is he going to be like at his best? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Interesting? A lot unknown with him, So I think he'll
let let us stand a little bit.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Maybe, well, I doesn't keep it that short. I'm going
to go Johnny Bears though with three ends.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Yeah hate my cursor was covering the h.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I think something's going to happen in this in this
Cricket World Cup, like the Australian England match where he
walked out his crease. Something is going to happen something
and hate Johnny Best again. So I think he's going
to be the biggest disappointment. I think he's got to
fire for this team to go really well, because he's
that middle order sort of guy that can make a
big score.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Can he'll open open He's been bad. What is open?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I don't know if he opens England maybe anyway, I
think he might struggle and maybe that's just being being
a biased does he feel want to it'll be but
oh yeah, yeah, best.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Maybe like five or something.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Anyway, I think he might struggle and he does in
the big pressurize environment. I want to see how he goes.
So he's going to be my biggest disappointment. All Right,
we're done.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
We've done that. Thank God for that, Leo. It was
just about the same.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Thank god, thank god, thank god, thank god. Show anchor.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yes and Australia. All right, that's stumps. I'm calling it again.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
The amount of I have to call it very quickly
when we've recorded in this studio is enough.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
So that' stuns. With the Cricket Today Show, we'll be
back with this again.
