Speaker 1 (00:01):
Time for Barry's bits.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hello, oh hey guys, I was just just trying to
work out how many sleeps until next Friday, because in
how we like to say that until six small sleeps.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
What is basball?

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Does it mean to throw the ball at them?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
No, it means bat outrageously extravagantly like T twenty cricket.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Oh, okay, just fall.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
And Bas McCallum, who's their coach, He's a Kiwi blake.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
So they adapted that. I hope they do that.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
We will, we will start there because they tried that
yesterday at Lilac Hill and it didn't go well, in fact,
because England A was actually batting. So it's England versus
England A. Ben Stokes, the captain of England's bowling. He
got six for so that's like, you know the Michelle Peiffer. Yeah,
that's five five wickets, Michelle five six Michelle. I knew that, No,

(00:55):
I knew that, the six for six wickets.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
But it was the worst six.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Wickets I've ever seen. That's so bad. They the English
batters just whacked him down legs side and got caught
six times even he was gone.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
This is ridiculous. So good signs for the Aussie.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
I was just going to say, if they could, you know,
sort of employ that tactic next week.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, yeah, exactly right, just keep doing that. So one
week until the first Ashes tested up the stadium. The
rivalry renewed, the oldest rivalry or the best rivalry, the
old enemy, better than the Derby even especially at the moment,
what's what unforgettable moment will happen that will cherish for

(01:39):
years to come, like the famous Alex Carey Johnny Bursto
run out at or stumping actually at Lord's remember that.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
So what happened list was the Australian We.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Could keep Alex Carey, He warned bearst So listen, mate,
at the end of the over I know you go
wandering up the up the pitch to talk to your mate,
do a bit of gardening.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
But you know you're going to just wait a bit.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
You're gonna tap your bat in the in the in
the crease, and I'm giving you a warning.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
And he go, yeah, whatever was he you know whatever?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
So the next over he goes wandering up and just
as he's at the end of the over right and
he throws the wicket down and appeals and of course
they have to give.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Him out, of course they do. But he gave him warning.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
But he clearly was not out because he well, I
was just meaning, well it was I wouldn't have done it.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Put it that way, at least you wouldn't have done it.
Sounds like you would have rushed. Understand what happened?

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Well, oh I remember it was very Yes, but he was.
He was being a bit arrogant.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
But at the end of the over you can wonder
out of your crease. But you sort of need to wait.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
He was back on him.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
This is have you got the audio there.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
This is the reaction of how the Aussies felt about
it a couple of days later.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
I think they I don't think they were. They were
like you non plus a pretty crazy day. Well there's
a shout for run out. Now that's going to be
very interesting.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
We go bea stays out here.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
I just laugh because it's like you just he just
walked straight out of his crazy right.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I imagine the figures going up here was fair game.
It's out every other week. I just that is every
day of the week.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
I thought it was blatantly out.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
My sense is this is going to be given out.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
We're on the screen. It's given out. It's a moment
of controversy at lauds the crowd of booing crowd members.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Not so fair games.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
No, that's the minute.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
It wasn't an underground bowl. But hang on now would
that have been out in the backyard? Oh yeah, it's
absolutely out in the middle of six and out.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Hore was the how was the crowd chanting? Sheet?

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Hey listen, there's big footing news this morning. Actually Glenn
Jakovitch is speaking this morning, the chairman of selectors for
the w A team, the g Man. But the first
players have been announced for state of origin Perth next
year in February. W A good names Patrick Cripps, Captain
Shaye Bolton from Frio, Bulldog, Aaron Norton, Tommy barrass the Trader,

(04:14):
No sorry, Tommy Brass from Hawthorne.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
What happens to this?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
They've been overshadowed Victoria ever named a few small names
the Bond mars All Australian selector captain Jeremy Cameron and
Brownlow medalist.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Matt rowe can I they're getting fitted out for their
ice vests at the moment, are they can?

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Night game would be a night game Okay, yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
I was just going to say, because fourteenth of February's
also be hovering around about thirty in the low thirties.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Even then, you know what that you know what that
day is?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Fourteenth or third Valentine's date?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Arromantic your.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
To the state of origin. Lots of singles at the
state of origin.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
However, I can assure you nothing says I love you
like booing the umpires together while holding hands and eating
a high and watching forty six sweaty blokes humpy sorry
run through each other.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
There's nothing that says love. I'm just someone will propose
if you're going to propose. Is there a jumper on
Valentine's Day?

Speaker 3 (05:27):
A big screen?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Tell Barrah, I'll make sure the camera gets on you.
You'll be national news.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Do it? Do it?

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Do memory to hold forever? Boy? Is there some sport
going on?

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Mate?

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Can you believe the AFL has released the fixtures for
next year? And it's so weird the way they sort
of leak it out and it comes out what's happening?

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Gather around and this is opening round and.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
They've got so much to mess them around with it
all so much. I guess they've they can't dump it
all onlous In one.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
But you know what it overshadows is the afl W finals.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
That's true and why they're doing it's very true.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
You think you let the women have their moment in
the sun anyway, they haven't. They've released the fixtures and lease.
The West Coast Eagles are off Broadways.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
I love your analogy, bar, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Think I've said no Thursday or Friday night games, none,
none at all. Only club not playing on Thursday or
Friday night, which are obviously the big nights. The Docors
have got fire six games on a Thursday.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Pretty much every Sunday afternoon again.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, the Sunday team. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
The Crows, the Hawks and the Cats have eight Thursday
Friday night games. West Coast No, So they're off Broadway.
And when you win one game.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Especially exactly, you go off Broadway.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
What's the analogy when you or.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
When Channel seven wants you when you lose primetime? I
think that's what it comes down to. They don't want
the team who won one game.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
When you break wind in a play or something once
on Broadway, you're off.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
What's the.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
I don't know, but we're going to We're going to
rescue from the youth from.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Bringing you back back to tennis. Okay, well, actually I
might just mention quickly about the draw. So the Eagles
have actually got a pretty tough draw because they played
three tough teams twice. It's all about how many teams
you play twice and play six teams twice, nice even draw.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
So logical.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Eagles play Adelaide, Freemantle and the Giants twice, which is
not good. The docors only play one team in the
top eight twice, Collingwood, Yes, Collingwood.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Will they need their suitcases next season? They have to
go to Marvel.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Well, they're playing the Dockers in in Adelaide. That's that's
not too bad. That'll be a nice game to go.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
So it's almost in Adelaide.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah, that's almost gather, you know, the gatherer. They all
gather in Adelaide.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
That's a long journey.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Now I just got the call out from the newsroom
that we need to find Mark Wood, who's getting a
scan today. So if anyone has seen the English Bowl
of Mark Wood, please ring the station right now.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
What's your number?

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Do you work for s KG them?

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Do your impersonation of someone ringing the Have you got
any problems there?

Speaker 3 (08:18):
What depends which It depends which stare you You know
which office you ring If it's you know, Butler or
me going to go yo, go about twelve.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
For me, it's the ashes. You tell us where Mark
Wood is. Come on, put him away?

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Look tennis from Mark would watch exactly. Alex Demono is
pulled off on the biggest wins of his career. Overnight
he beat Taylor Fritz at the A t P Tour finals.
So you should go through the semis now wild scenes.
It was a great win for him. And you know
when they write on the camera when they come up, yeah,
and it never really works.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Does it. You know exactly he wrote?

Speaker 2 (08:56):
I think he wrote finally, finally, So that's you know,
that's half clever, I suppose.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
So anyway he calls about Mark Wood, there nothing.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
I will keep your post.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
If he's some big tall englishman limping towards a scan
place ring at Channel seven. And a shout out to

Frankie and Sebastian for charity. Oh good for twenty talker

Crown on November twenty two.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
They don't all get to wear the blue singlet? Do
they different colors?

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Actually, that's a good point. I think they probably would
wouldn't know, they'd have to come.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
I have to have the white singlet.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
He got his eyebrows shaved off for telethon once Gladia.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (09:47):
But you know, lea, when you when you shave stuff
and it comes back here.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
That's what my mum used to tell me when I
wanted to shave my legs.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
I was dead to stop you from doing it. Yeah,
does it come back? Harry?

Speaker 3 (10:01):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
I think that's an old wife's tyle. There's only so
many follicles. Yes, there's an old mum's tale. Corporate boxing
event Facebook if you want to go

Speaker 3 (10:11):
