Speaker 1 (00:01):
Time for Barry's bits morning, Barrough what a week weekend?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Wow? What just happened? Exactly two days? That's it all over?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I saw that last session. I was actually at the gym.
I was on the running machine. I kept adding time
to the running because we were getting so close.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I just couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
You superstitious?
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Are you thinking that the Aussies are winning because I'm
on the treadmill?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I didn't. I thought I'd punished myself to witness history.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Do you guys do that at home?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
You sit on the couch if the Eagles are winning
or something, and you won't move because if you move, Yes,
I'm not going to wait man LEAs. First, a big
thank you to the twenty thousand English fans that came
to Perthday.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Added a lot of color.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Humor, a lot of money, and then it ended in
two days, which you tell me it didn't have an
Ashes Test match hasn't ended in two days.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Last time it happened was.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
In eighteen ninety. It was a lot long, long time ago.
You might have caught that game.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Very rude, I think, Jeff Perry, because you're the youngest
in the room.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Stop showing off.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
So pretty sad for inger Land. Big thanks to Mitchell
Stark and Travis Head for basically carrying the Aussie team.
Travis said the second fastest ashes test century since Gilly
belted the living suitcase out of the Poms at the
Waku six.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I look.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Thoughts and prayers obviously go to the Barmie Army, but
also to all the food and beverage vendors. Oh yeah,
at Perth Stadium. You can send all your hate mail
to Travis Head. By the way, it's good.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
How they had that second harvest though, because all the
food goes yes, yeah, which is good.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Apparently cricket Australia is three million, yeah, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And the boys tell me that. When Head went out
to bat he said, boys, book a.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Long lunch for us all at Cot for tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Apparently that's what he said. So all over in two days.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
A good mate of mine flew in from Singapore Saturday night,
so he got his and the Barmie Army told me
a bloke came from London on Saturday night. Oh no,
twenty hour flight stop over in Dubai. Getting increasingly concerned
as he jetted across the world.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Know he's wasted his money, So I hope he's here
for the next test as well.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Maybe he's visiting Elizabeth Key that's and the Lucky Shadows something.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Don't kiss a Quaker, that's all.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Pad Koala oh man. He's also a Liverpool fan and
they're getting pumped. So enough anyway, So here's Head's one hundred.
Everyone in the stadi was actually unbelievable. Sous he was
there too when he got his hundred. Everyone, every single person,
I've never seen this happen at the stadium. Fifty thousand
people stood as one and applauded the great Travis Head.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Head on Monday nine.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Is a stunning century and ashes a spectacular from Trevor's head.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's his quickest.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Sixty nine balls.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It's dispensled.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
The English attach.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm with it. The English hope of the test went
in Perth.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
We have witnessed something very very special.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
The great ones And how good did optus look for
that test? Too? Brilliant? And what about stadium?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
And the reason Head the reason Head was batting first
was because Usman Khwaja sort of broke down. Yeah, and
his pre ashes golf outing apparently didn't cause his back specimens.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
What three rounds of eighteen holes, lak Karen three rounds
and really Lisa wouldn't do that exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Anyone who's played golf knows even if you're playing for
the Gauzzies fourths, you're not going to play golf three
times that week.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
A bit of putt put that's it. Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
So that's why so might have been a brilliant team strategy.
Let's wreck.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
My sources say the one shot that did him in
was there was a bunker escape on the seventh. You
know when you hit the sand too hard sometimes I do.
There was another case where he tried to outdrive Mitchell Stark,
which might have put his back out, but apparently the
main one he got startled by kangaroo hopping across the fairway,
(04:27):
like carrying up because you see those great kangaroos. Either way,
the odds he's got lucky because he did in that
best shot of the day though I don't know if
you saw it, but Travis Head wasn't a six by him.
The best shot was Stuart Broad in the seven commentary box.
Google it up, shutting his eyes.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
And pinching his.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
God and he had to put up with Matthew Hayden
next to him as well.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
If you get a chance you have a look at
it chat.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
And his absolute Aussie Bogan and Stuart Broad's urbane and
Matthew had and ob well I'd mentioned as well, didn't
I that After the Test match finished, I went out
there to do the news four o'clock, so I got
to see everything.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
It was fantastic.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
And then when I got there though, everyone was like
standing around at the end of the match like stun mullets.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
What about?
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I finished when they last happened, turned the century the
other century, not this century, last century?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Oh really, what else can we do? So then they
wandered over. It was like an exodus. Several thousand fans
this week.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Let's go over there that place up there's got the
lights on the whack up right. I just wandered over
to over the Madda Garret Bridge to the Scorches women's
game and it was an absolute belter. The Scorch has
got a team hat trick at one stage and the
match was in the final over and the Strikers Odelade
Strikers needed thirteen runs with one wicket in hand. Right right,
(05:50):
And Lily Mills, she struck a decisive wicked And this
is what it sounded like.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
That's Scott straight up.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
When the air Mooney comes in, she takes the catch.
The Scorches wind out of here having to come in
just get the wicked.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
That's what the Scorches have done all to and from.
They didn't know what they were doing. This is a
brilliant I know who you are. This is fantastic.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
And they got to go to the Wacker, which is psychoic.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah, they love the Whacker. Now least the Las Vegas
Grand Prix.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Oh man, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
It's some stinks.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So Max Denmark Max somethings rotten in them? Mate. What
was his name, Hercules? That was his name, Horatio.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Max wins. Orlando comes second, Piastri comes fourth. But after
the race they looked at the McLaren cars and they said, oh,
this excessive. Were on your underside plank? Yes, there's wood
under the car, yeah, just so you can't get too low.
And it's it's actually a piece of wood. Can you believe?
I can't believe that. And so they got disqualified.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
McLaren's a tire thing.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, the wood would and they know apparently they were
under by like a millimeter yeah one, no point one
of a millimeter or something.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It was like this skull.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
So they both got disqualifical term for it.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
But you know what, it was actually good for Oscar
because he was if they if they stood the way
after the race finished, he'd be thirty points behind.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Lando. Now he's still back to twenty four.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I mean, it's only good that they were both.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Disqualified, that's right, But it actually was a stroke of luck.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
I mean it's hard to get your head around that.
But because because instead of being thirty behind, he's twenty.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Four, they've got the constructor's title.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
All So no, yeah, and the only downside is Max's
twenty four points behind Lando.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And he's coming home.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I reckon Max's.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Im massive chance to win now because that guy can
drive as a gout the do. I just wanted to
do pay risk my respects and honor. Alan Moffatt a
giant of Australian motorsport.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Watch him as a kid in Bathurst. He was the
he was a flag bearer for Ford. He was Ford's brockie.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Born in Canada.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
We kind of liked him even because of that, four
time Baptist winner, four time touring card champ, fires competitor
and alongside the great rock he defined the year, didn't he?
And later he faced Alzheimer's with courage and he raised awareness,
so his.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
