Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
I heard podcasts here more mixed one or two point
three podcasts, playlists and listen live on the Free iHeart app.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Ye oh yeah, I don't like Rickhead.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
It turns out Australia and in England don't like cricket
because they wanted to wrap up a five day Test
match in two days, so it finished on Saturday. We
should be waking up this morning about to tuck into
day four or five, should be evenly poised anything would happen,
but we just like did it on fast forward on
the weeknd.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
This not happening cricket.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
This is the first time a Test match has finished
inside two days since nineteen twenty one. Wow, over one
hundred years. So in Perth on the weekend it was
absolute craziness. Everything was on fast Forward. We bowled really well,
they bowled really well. Everyone battered poorly until our boy,

(01:03):
Travis Head, Heedy Travis Head, south of Tea Tree Gully's own, Yeah,
strolled out and said, you know what.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Everyone's been making this look real hard.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
It's easy.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
And he went out and he hit the equal third
fastest century ever with all of the pressure in the
world on him and just pretty much took the game
away from England. God it.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
And gets the hundred short just sixty nine balls. But
I was so sweet for ms him.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
He was taken on the tour, but he has absolutely
doing with this team in one of the great.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Ashes hundreds and you feel pride. I feel like I
played a part in that. Yes, just because I'm from
where he's from.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
I listened to that in my heart's like, my god,
I wish I was there.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
You love cricket, I asked, yes, what fielding position was?

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I don't want to repeat that.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
It's a different type of because you don't know any filming.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Positions, to be honest with you.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
So I dislike cricket that much that when I had
two boys, I never mentioned the word cricket.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
When they were growing up about sports, what sport do
you play?

Speaker 4 (02:08):
It was always footy, basketball, tennis, whatever, So they actually
know nothing about it.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
They got to about six and they're like, what's that.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Oh, that's something that they play on the field goal
cricket because it just takes so long.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
It's so boring.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
If they go to a school that does rowing, make
sure that they don't learn what rowing is either, because
then you're going to have some early mornings. So the
problem with this two day test, the only problem we had,
Travis said, brilliant, we had a win for Australia.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Brilliant. It's cost Cricket Australia a lot of money for
the Test match to finish inside two days.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
They're facing an estimated loss of more than three million
bucks because they don't get any ticket sales from what
was a sold out Day three and what they'd hoped
had been a busy Day four and maybe even some
Day five ticket sales.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
But so wouldn't have people bought those tickets in advance.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, but if no cricket is played.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
You get your money back.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Oh thank god, they'rey fundable.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
So even the stadium as well.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
YEP Stadium will lose some cash.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
The only people who were loving it one the players
because they just got an extra three days of drink
beers in Perth. And two all of the two operators
over in Perth because they've now got like thirty thousand
Barmi Army people who have just booked to stay in
Perth for six nights and they only really needed to
be there for two nights, so they've got no plans.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
So Rottenos Island to be absolutely rocket.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Oh, the Quakers would be so happy right now, they'd
beginning so much lave.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Hanging out with the Barmi army.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Hey, why didn't the coaches go, guys that slow this down?
Does that happen? This is going too fast?

Speaker 1 (03:34):
So without trying to keep it as simple as possible,
England liked to play really fast. Yeah, that's how they've
decided they want to play cricket. We battered really poorly,
so it went fast for us. And then Travis Head
was like the only person over the entire Test match
that made runs, could extend it out for any time

(03:55):
at all.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I don't mind a two day Test match that's meant
to be five.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
You should try to fight the dream. You should try
twenty twenty cricket.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh see I would like that. That's fast right, yeah, yeah,
still don't like it.
