Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Andrew Ordison joins me with the time of five twenty
two hollow orders. Greeting's Andrew, let's work our way from
now back into the past. So right now we've got
India versus Pakistan, one of the great games in world
cricket happening in Dubai. Why can't they play it in
Pakistan or India.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, I think there's the political division there and the
Indian government stepping in and deciding that they wanted to
and when India talks and cricket, everyone listens. So they've
played it in Dubai and India have triumphed. They've really
just dominated Pakistan this morning, reaching two forty two in
the forty third over very coally getting to his what

(00:38):
will be a fifty first ODII century one hundred not
out at the end. So control performance when we defeated
them and I thought, hello, it looks like Vera.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
It's over, you know. And then he's had a good run.
It's over, it's over. Now he's back, and that was
just the point you can with us coming up. Yeah,
that's exactly right. Also, huge scores in Australia versus England.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, that wor ordinary.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, big big.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, especially I think getting what to three fifty two
with fifteen balls to spare?

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Fifteen balls to spare? Come on, it's just.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Extraordinary numbers, isn't it. The swe TEA twenty just comes
to you. Just can't really get a gauge on it.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Now, Okay. The next story was Joseph Parker, who was
absolutely swizzled of having a chance because he looked fit
and he was ready to go. And this poor guy
fought against Flew for two days, arrived at two o'clock,
turned up wobbling all over the place. He was enormous,
but didn't He lasted only one in a bit.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
It was quite the roady for Martin Cole. He was
it from the Congo to get across there to Rhiann
in Saudi Arabia. And you're right, I mean Parker, he said,
this resurgence of his career. I think what's said six
wins is the last six spouts. And yeah, he was
primed and ready to go, and how disappointing for him.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
After a fight he caught out Usick and said, come on,
let's do it, because Usick was going to fight the
winner of Dubois Parker. Yeah, that did not happen. Who
knows when it's going to happen, if at all. Do
you think Usik might go, come on the enjoy, let's go.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Well possibly, yeah. I imagine the word of boxing they had,
you know, well, they say you have to get it
on anyway I've ever done it in quite the h yeah,
I know, but as they hear and across the ten
or in the stadium.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
But there you go. These days they seem a bit slack.
They seem to be a bit like, yeah, we've got
to get it on, but maybe next year. It seems weird. Hey.
