What are you going to talk about on the podcast this week? (ft. Henri Cottam)

What a weekend for the lads!
Lowerhouse claimed their fourth win of the season — and did it against derby rivals Burnley. We’re joined by Henri Cottam (with a special cameo from his dad) to relive the action.

There’s been plenty of chatter about other clubs tuning in to Housecast — and with 750 listens an episode, who can blame them? We put some big questions to Henri, while Joe continues his “scaredy cat” routine about whether we’ll actually win the league.

Drew Peacock writes in to talk through Sundays big game too.

We also round up performances from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th XI.

Episode Transcript

(00:19):
Gordon Gordon, send more house to save the house.
So here we go, the house cast recording on a Monday night
after a good weekend, good weather.
I always say the legendary housecast, but I'm going to change it

(00:42):
tonight to the quite famous, popular with other clubs house
cast for some reason. There's been quite a bit of an
uptake on other clubs players mentioning our house cast for
some reason. But we're going to that as we as
we start off. So we've got a really good guest
on today, a young lad come through the Academy, a real

(01:04):
character and a good fun to talkthrough this weekend's game with
him and and also how he finds it's all gone and he start to
the Lancashire League career. But before we go any further,
we'll just go around the horse and Joe Martin, you're down at
the club you've been coaching. Yeah, I've been coaching
tonight, the slightly older end of the juniors.

(01:25):
How many were down? Not so many, there's a few games
on and there is, you know, holidays and stuff.
So not lots of numbers tonight, but still worthwhile.
Brilliant. No, it's always good to see.
And then we've got Gary and Joe Beneducci who were hosting with
us tonight, the three of us. So that'll be really good.
Plenty to talk about after the weekend and which was a bit of

(01:49):
AI. Don't know what you thought of
it, Duche looking around you like an impromptu reunion of of
yesteryear. I really enjoyed it were a good
crack is I think you went on into the night, is that right?
Yeah, not. Too late, but yeah, I stopped
for a couple, yeah. Yeah, yeah, good.
It was manager's wife's 30th, weren't it?

(02:12):
Yeah. So that was be be good to see
the club fall and and and Gary, you were travelled all the way
up north and I think had a couple afterwards as well.
I were. Do you have a good evening?
Yeah, probably a couple too many, but yeah, we're we enjoyed
it. You know, you don't get out that
much as you know how it is. Long drive makes you thirsty.

(02:35):
Absolutely, absolutely. And you obviously couldn't be
driving home all that way 300 miles, so you have to stop out.
Yeah, that's it. Yeah, it was.
I really enjoyed it to catch up with, with numerous various
people there. And obviously a good game of
cricket, weather was set fast. So it was it was a good day,
which we'll go into in a minute or two.

(02:56):
Is there is there anything else we need to report on from any of
us before I go into the guest from any of the host?
We're all happy. That's good, that's good.
I like to I like to hear that. So this lad, how many he
obviously his introduction goes without saying.
The the family have been down atthe club for donkeys years and

(03:18):
and his dad has really set his store like he's there in the the
absolute stalwarts of the club. A proper legend won loads of
trophies that that he instigated.
I think it's without saying he was he was quite instrumental in
shaping the club as to where it is now.
So without embarrassing you any further, Henry, it's Henry

(03:40):
Cotter. How's it going Henry?
Well. Thank you, you gave him a bit
more to my dad there than me I think.
I'm not being funny, Henry. I think your dad's achieved a
little bit more than you, so I'm.
Saying yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.

(04:01):
And he's a great fellow, he's a lovely fellow, that's why I make
no apology about it. But your career down at the club
has started off really well. You've, you know, obviously
getting in the first team on a regular basis now from what you
know, you're way out of my probably 2 generations.
So I don't really know a great deal about you.

(04:22):
How have you settled in? Certainly this year we've been a
regular being, being that first team, you know, a regular pick
within it. How is it?
How is it for you in such a successful season so far?
Brilliant. Yeah, I'm moving every minute of
it, to be honest with you. I think we've said it on
Actually me and Joe Martin that there's a massive age gap

(04:42):
between the youngest two or three and then the rest of the
squad think is it 3030 is the. Well, yeah.
The youngest. Yeah.
So I think on, I think on Saturday, Henry and Tom were the
youngest in the team and then meand Johnny were the 3rd and 4th,
3rd and 4th, 1331. So yeah.

(05:06):
Yeah, I've never really looked at that.
When, you know, when you get to a certain age, everyone seems
young and it yeah, there is a bit of a gap there because what?
So Tom and CC Gansler and Henry would obviously you don't need
to give your age away. Henry, how old are you?
20. 20, OK. And Tom's What is he, 21 or 22?

(05:28):
22 I believe. And Gansler.
Same age as me as Gansler. Right, OK, so you've got three
good young lads, they're both established and then like you
said Joe, that it's up to you oldies who were, who were 3030
plus. So there's a bit of a gap there
which I've never really noticed before.
But I think the young players, Joe Martin, from your

(05:49):
perspective, you know, the way they've settled in, you know, I
know Henry's come right through our system.
The other two have come from theclubs over the last three years
or so, all settled in well. What's it like in the dressing
room with the the cheeky young Rugrats?
Yeah, no, it's, it's great. And you get to hear some of the
the antics and stuff that they've been up up to over the

(06:11):
over the past few weeks. So it's.
Like what job? Like what?
Just just just general stuff that we were up to at that hedge
job. Playing Tiddlywinks.
So yeah, no, it's it's been good.
But from a cricket, from a cricket side, it's been really
great to see them them all find a role within the team and

(06:34):
become established and also see them grow into those roles.
So you know, Henry's battered 3 OU and done a really great job.
And you know, batting 3 is not an easy, not an easy task.
So Henry's I think really grown into that position and I think
when you watched him batter Wolstone last week and and then

(06:59):
Burnley, Burnley this week, it'sit's really great to see him,
you know, take on take on attacks and and and sort of bat
around people. And it's been been really good,
been really good to have them involved.
And and whilst, you know, we're like having a laugh and a joke
on here, the more and more I speak to people, the love

(07:19):
hearing about that side of the game and how it works and what
practise training development there is involved in it.
And again, Henry, you know, it'sa direct question that you
might. It's certainly not any criticism
whatsoever, but #3 is a real pivotal spot in a team where
we've got, there's probably you and Joe Martin who's on this

(07:42):
call who can hold an innings together together who can other
players can back around them, the rest of them with some real
destructive players. You seem to be the anchor that's
there in the team. You know, sometimes it works,
sometimes it doesn't. How did you find that?
Is that something that you were told you would do, or is that
your natural game? No, it's definitely not tactical

(08:03):
or anything along those lines. It's I think it's just sort of
falling into place really. No, yeah, I just think it's my
game, to be honest with you. I'm not the type of batter
that's going to run at a ball some over the head for six and
into the school or something like that, you know.
But we've got we've got so many players that can do that.
So I think it is important having players like me and Joe

(08:25):
to just offer something slightlydifferent than the rest of
everyone. Yeah, and it does affect the
opposition, you know, I guarantee you know, when
sometimes quality, quality bowlers are happy for someone to
go and get 1520 off and over andthen 10 off the next over
because they know they'll get them out the way they play.
And whereas someone that offers a little bit different from
there. So that's not a tactic that's

(08:47):
you know, obviously I'm sure Benand Dan have seen that for a
period of time and and you're comfortable doing it.
You know you do you can't you play all around the wicket, you
know you reverse sweeps and yourdifferent that me and Gary never
even heard of are outstanding and you're comfortable doing
that. You could happily just bat all
the way through and end up HR not 8 and we still get 300.

(09:10):
Is that you'd be comfortable with that?
Yeah, very happily do that. I hope it happens sometime soon.
It will be, it will do, but don't worry about that.
It's you know, you're properly, you're properly getting yourself
into that sort of of a role within the team.
It's clear from the, you know, other players we've had on and

(09:32):
Dan when we've had Dan on that he's very much into the the
mental side of the game, gettingyour mind right, not over
thinking things. Has that affected you much in
the way you've developed since since Dan's been here?
Definitely, yeah. I think since Dan's come in
especially just he reiterates all the time about just having a

(09:53):
sole belief in what your strengths are.
And when you're batting, for allyou're feeling, whatever you're
doing is that you should have a total.
Because if you don't, you know, what is the not, what is the
point? But sort of, you know, why?
Why do anything different other than what you're best at?
Because it's it's obviously going to be the most successful
in that way and it's going to help the team out the most and

(10:15):
you're going to enjoy your cricket more.
You know, I know we play a very high standard of cricket, but
it's amateur sport at the end ofthe day, isn't it?
You know the the most important part is enjoying it and getting
the most out of it. Yeah, without a day.
And that is something that, you know, we can certainly see from
the side and and I certainly think the people on this
recording understand and get it.It's taking a while for maybe

(10:36):
some others that it is just it'sabout enjoying it.
If things don't go right, you know, no one's going to die and
we move on. And because of the standard that
you're all playing at and the quality and depth that there is
there, it's, it is fantastic to watch and, and great to see what
I'm going to do. Henry, we're going to talk
through Saturday's game because obviously those 3 hosts were all

(10:57):
there. We watched it from start to
finish, really enjoyed it. And just give us your take.
First of all, please Henry on onhow sat they went.
You know from from the start howthe the innings developed and
then their innings developed andthen how we we won it in the
end. Yeah, I thought it was a really
good game. I bet it was a good game for the

(11:18):
neutral, definitely, because there was a lot of big moments
in the game, wasn't there? I thought we bowled really well.
You know, they, you know how they're going to play.
You know, they're going to, they're quite similar to us in
that sense. You know, Cousin Bedford,
they're they're going to come off, they're going to try and be
destructive as they can from thestart.
And then they'll have hockey andAdam and those type of players

(11:42):
that are going to anchor the innings for the rest.
And I think we know that, you know, especially because I think
has got 50 yards today or 40 odd.
We know that if even if they're going to go off the way they do
that we back ourselves 100% to to ball them out.
I know we did. We ball them out.
No, no, no, we're just going to shut.
Down. We had about 10 overs to go, so

(12:04):
we didn't ball them out. Yeah, I don't really know how we
did. Anyway, but we're going to.
Yeah, but yeah, we can, I mean, we can go into that as to as to
what happened. Because it did seem a bit a bit
strange that at at one stage when the middle order were
coming back together, I thought they were going to get 200 here
and maybe have two overs that they'd miss with get over 200.

(12:24):
Gary, we had, you know, I mean, it was a strange old day
forecast blue sky, 25° and it ended up quite chilly and quite
windy. What were your take on the game?
Because obviously you were therefor a lot of it walking around
the ground with those. How did you find it?
Yeah, we're almost a bit of a nail back to and we, we, we'd
look comfortable for a bit in the end chasing and then and

(12:45):
then lose, losing our wicket. And as the guys have said, they
sort of seem to get off to not quite a flyer, but but obviously
a good start. And you know, when we don't take
wickets early on and we've got plenty of other bowlers who can
come on and different actions, different space, different and
etcetera and just and bank and always try and mix it up.

(13:08):
And and again, I think they don't have any bowling changes
were but that that that did did work quite well.
I think joy probably bowled the longest spell of of anyone bowl.
And I think it was his as he's done nothing regular now for,
for a good few weeks when he's come on and he's really dried,
dried him up. And sometimes he's taking

(13:29):
wickets off at the back of that pressure some.
Sometimes he's ending up with, you know #21 off off 10 or
something like that. But.
But he seems to be in the one that's that lately Ben's sort of
turned to for a solid spell and,and wrestle back some sort of
control if we've looked like, like losing it at all.

(13:50):
Yeah. And they, they were like fits
and starts when they were again,if you look at the two innings
actually, so just looking at thestats yesterday on on the game
and, and he didn't feel like it at the time, but the 50 run
intervals were identical in terms of like how many or, you
know, 25 always or whatever it was.

(14:10):
And, and, and he just didn't feel like that in the end.
Like I said, I think douche mentioned it and it felt like at
the end they were just trying toget deniers getting that, that
bonus balling points and sort ofshut up sharp.
But when you look at the I progressive the both innings
were they were virtually identical in terms of runway
through the overs. And it just didn't feel like
that watching it. It felt like we were we were

(14:31):
relatively comfortable. It would just about, you know,
making sure we we kept enough wickets at the end not to make
it squeaky bum, but we bat a long way down, don't we?
I mean, even we 7-8 down or whatever, you're not worried
when we still got 30-40 to get and sure enough again.
So Joy Batterwell Charles looked$1,000,000.
I thought when it came in, it just everything were coming out

(14:54):
of the screws. I thought you were going to see
it through. So yeah.
And Johnnys was a solid 50. I think Tom Scratchy at the
start but then got his groove and again, I think when Charlie
came in pair of them looked to really get on top then just

(15:15):
looked so comfortable and and and and and all the creative
shots they put them away. They didn't need them.
They were just knocking. Get rid of the bad ball,
knocking around the ones and twos good running between the
wickets really running fielders ragged and stuff.
So, so yeah, again, I think justworkmen like performance really
in the end it was just so it wasjust good and and and if you few

(15:40):
heated moments, I guess between odd players, but again, very
frustrated with one or two umpiring decisions.
I think they thought they'd probably got Johnny out and you
know, and then sort of few verbals started.
I think. I think that's when one or two
comments started coming about asking about what we were

(16:00):
talking about on podcast as well, allegedly.
So that were interesting. Focus on game when you you're
fighting for relegation and all you're bothered about is what
we're going to be doing on a Monday night.
So, but interesting, yeah, yeah,a good, so a good 10 points, I
think jazzy in the end. Yeah, I've got to agree with
you, and I'll come to you in a minute, dudes, just for, you

(16:22):
know, a 32nd, 2nd input on how it went.
I was really impressed. And Joe Martin or Henry you know
the way Tom come back Tom Walkerand and the way sometimes and
and again it's not a criticism, but it appears that that type of
player can throw it away in you know it wasn't the best

(16:42):
conditions. The wind is, is a real issue for
cricketers, whether it's bowlersand batters.
And Tom could have think, thought to himself, certainly
with the pressure, what as Gary has alluded to, the, the, the,
the chitchat, the banter, the sledging that was going on.
Tom could have maybe lost his head a touch and then all of a

(17:03):
sudden he gets out caught on theedge.
But I was really pleased he batted his way through that
period, 90 balls for 54 and just, you know, made the game
hours. Was that something you as
players noticed first of all, you, Joe, and that that Tom's
been working on? Or is it just that that's the

(17:23):
natural game that we've got in those circumstances?
I mean, I think, I think firstlyit was a really kind of mature
innings by Tom. Yeah.
Played extremely well and has, you know, certain areas that he
wants to hit and when he does, he executes that, executes that
well and backs himself to do it.And if you get out doing that, I
think I genuinely believe that that's fine.

(17:44):
I think if that's I think it's fine and you kind of don't need
to justify it, but I think he was, I think he anchored the
innings extremely well. He was really well paced in in
how he went about it and battingwith, you know, different people
with different styles as well. Hancock came in and toxic and

(18:05):
Charlie as as as Gary said, battered magnificently,
magnificently well. I think there's one shot that he
played off hockey. I think off the back foot.
It was like a back foot drive through that cover point that
went for four. That was fantastic.
Really, really great. But I think just through, I
think just through Tom's innings, he just continued to

(18:27):
kind of find a way to to keep the, to keep the scoreboard
moving. Didn't really get down at any
point and just kept us, kept us close enough when everybody else
could could, you know, try and, you know, be slightly more
expansive in in some cases. So yeah, it was a really, really
well measured innings. It was, I thought it was

(18:49):
special. We, you know, in the points I've
alluded to the he's potentially,you know, maybe throwing it away
a little bit or he's, you know, he's, he's thinking right, where
can I score? How can I manage this instead of
managing the game? So I was really pleased for me
and I, I genuinely think he'll learn a lot from that.
As to managing it, They, they tried everything, you know,

(19:10):
whether it was cricket related or chatting to him related.
The they did a fantastic job. I'm trying to, to unnerve him
and he managed it really well. Henry, you're, you're quite
close to, to Tom. I know that you, you know you
because of an age and because ofthe talent you both got.
How do you find Tom playing withhim and when he performs like

(19:31):
how, what's his demeanour like? He's sometimes for gays still
young to be honest with you, especially with that innings on
Sunday. It's not often that 22 year old
bats the way he did in such an important game.
Really in a big Derby like that.It's you know, he's only, he's
only two years older than me andyou know, he's just, you can

(19:51):
just wait. You just tell how talented he
is. Really couldn't deal with that
with that innings on Sunday, I thought.
What would he be? Would he be the type of guy that
would react to the chap Henry Middle?
If Barrett would get into him, would would Tom?
How what? What's his character like in
that regard? I don't think it would
particularly anger him. He might talk back a little bit,
but I think we come more often than not.

(20:13):
Let's his let's his batting do the talking.
I. Think what was what was good.
Sorry, what what was good as well is what he's innings and
where does you're you're essentially like throwing away
and what you mean he's like out to an attacking shot.
When you think maybe you know, there's a lot of time, but when
you're batting at at 4:00 and you're coming in after Johnny
and Ben, who've who've more often than not one of them, if

(20:33):
not both of them have got us offto to good starts.
You got I got Henry there who's looking solid.
Congratulations on going throughyour 1000 Lancashire League runs
as well this weekend. You know, 20.
That's a great milestone. Well done.
I know we don't have a tale. We talk about it like like a lot
of clubs do from 7-8 down, but Idon't think he's had that

(20:57):
scenario of batting with the lower order per SE.
And that's where the pressure sort of creaks and you think,
oh, wow, now a fall shot and we're 8 down or we're 9 down.
And, and, and for me, that was, he wasn't, he wasn't sheltering
the, or hogging the strike, you know, forming the strike, trying
to protect the tear or anything like that, that that wasn't
necessary. But I think that's that again,

(21:17):
he's a good, if I've done that tick, I can do that.
We can rely on him in future. He knows the scenario.
People are are trusting each other in terms of their roles.
So for me, that was that was another good moment sort of
subtly lost in the game, if you like, maybe.
Without a doubt, Gary, without adoubt, it is something that you

(21:38):
know you can see and when you know in such a great day like we
had just I was wondering around you pick up all those sort of
things and it is it is great to see.
Whilst we, you know, building upcharm and he's such a great
performance and and the team he is, he can be a little bit daft
as well. Henry can't say.
Yeah, no, no comment. You mean in cricket?

(22:00):
What? Do you mean Yeah, no comment.
I. Was in two minds.
Give us an example of how we canbe daft.
Are we still talking about cricket?
No, it does have to be cricket. He's not, he's not that daft.
I think it's a bit harsh. I think he's pretty level headed
lad. Does he do any impressions?
I'm sure you'll have to ask him.But he's not here.

(22:20):
We're asking you. I don't know.
I've heard he's I've heard he's pretty good impressions.
Yeah. I don't know.
I'm not I'm not exactly sure whohe does them off.
No, but. No, I've heard that he could.
He's pretty decent at it. Because I've I've heard a
whisper. Him and Charlie Ganser are

(22:40):
really quite good at him, but you can beat them at these
impressions. Who Who've you heard that from?
From a lot of people. I've had a few messages today
and I did witness it one a few weeks ago and I just wondered if
you could give us one of your impressions.
Certainly not. Not on here, no.
OK then. OK.
We've kind of. Got your moment, Jess.

(23:02):
Is that like a is that if you were interviewing like a
president, is that what you'd? Is that what you'd ask them?
Oh, sure are. You good at impressions?
Because I know how good Henry isthe.
David Cross never asking anybodythat.
I've, I've, I've heard the, the impressions of us, a lot of the
house cast and I and I, you know, it's so funny.

(23:23):
And I was just hoping Henry could, could maybe give us one
of his, one of his. I think he does 3 I believe.
No. Maybe another day.
I did ask Angela's on Saturday to to show me his version of me,
but he declined. Yeah.

(23:43):
I don't know kids these days, but a great game, Henry.
You know a good 10 points again,I'm going to come to you.
It's not as pointed questions. It were clear there was things
happening on the field which youknow the crack he goes on and
chit chat between people. But it's come to certainly my

(24:04):
attention that maybe a few of the Burnley players listen to
this podcast on a regular basis.From from what they said.
Did you are you aware of any of the Burley players listening to
the podcast and what they talk about in the middle?
There's one in particular that lacks talk about the podcast,
but who wouldn't? You know, it's a very, very good

(24:25):
show, so of course they're goingto have to talk about it.
Yeah, I mean, who wasn't? Is it, is it Barrett?
We, we can say his name. We're not.
We're not like going to get sued.
No, Yeah. Oh yeah.
We can probably give him a shout.
So I'll be watching this one, won't he?
Yeah. Yeah, allegedly he asked Johnny
what what he was going to talk about on the podcast on Monday.
And Johnny pointed out he's not on it every week.

(24:46):
And Barrett says, oh, you seem to be every time I listen.
And there were another couple that were that were chirping up
about it. And that's why I was thinking,
you know, we've gone from legendary.
It is famous and other clubs. I didn't think anyone had
listened to it. But for our our own fans.
So that's that's a proper achievement.
I mean, Adam might know how many, you know, we're up to
hundreds an episode now that arelistening.

(25:08):
So yeah. It's barracks ex law house so
maybe that's why he listens because he's still heavily
interested in his in his original club.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, possibly. Yeah.
Catering for different audienceswith variety of topic topics.
I mean how can you not? How can you resist guess the
winner for example? That got some great feedback

(25:34):
that about I mean last apparently last week within 28
hours or 38 hours Adam Sport with 726 different people that
had listened to it, which is which is some achievement
really. And it's probably because of the
game that was that was created. Guess the winner.
Have we got the the Jingle for it?

(25:55):
We could maybe put the Jingle in.
Well, I'm sure we can do it, butpeople have to wait for that
game for the end of the month, end of the month again.
Yeah, I suppose. Yeah, They'll have to wait for
that. Guess it right.
Don't be a quitter. It's time to play.
Guess the winner. And what's whilst before we go

(26:22):
out, we won't talk about the second team.
And there's a few, a few questions, Henry, that that we
need to ask of you from, from, from, from some of our
supporters and, and followers Adam's put out on social media.
Any questions for our guests. So we've got a they've been
reining in this afternoon. So I think buckle yourself in

(26:43):
and I don't know if you want a lawyer, but just just get ready
for when the when the questions when the questions come in we
between us. The I was trying to predict on a
logical basis of how many pointswe would get and other teams
will get around us. Just trying to work out quite

(27:03):
selfishly which games I've got to be getting myself across to
watch for when we win the league.
And I know you don't like it, Joe Martin, me saying that, but
your skipper likes it so becauseit's a foregone conclusion.
So I started looking at the different points and came up
with a bit of a daft game calledthe House Cast Point Predictor.

(27:25):
Guess the. Points guess the point, guess
the point. We could call it that, it's
still in its infancy, but for for the listeners, it's
basically 8 clubs, the top 8 clubs in the league to work out
how many points they're going toget in a particular game.
So we got, I think we ended up with 22 people submitting.

(27:47):
There's no money gone in, there's no prizes for it.
It was all for a bit of fun, butit's worth just quickly looking
at if that's all right with you guys and just to see a few
pointers. The the scoring went, how far
you were off the actual points the club achieved was with the
points you got. So obviously the lowest points

(28:09):
was was better than someone who'd got a lot more points.
And believe it or not, Paul Stanley won.
I'm talking to 88 predictions where you think that can be.
There's not many between 1:00 and 12:00.
I'm sure, Gary, you'd know how many numbers there is that you
can't get. I think possibly.
I don't think you can get 6, canyou?

(28:31):
I don't think you can get 8 or 9.
And definitely get 6. Oh.
Tie. We both both.
Team out first things get get 2 points and then.
Get within. 20 Score for four batting points.
Yes, you can. And the tie 7, so it's 8:00 and
9:00 you can't get I think. We can get 9 if you get a tie in
bowl the side out. Is that not now?

(28:52):
Yeah. Good, good point, Gary.
No, it's a good job you know they sent it just for you, for
the rules of your game. Jesus.
Sounds like Stan is in the rightjob then if he if he won that
round. Though Stanley ended up getting
it was only eight points off getting the whole the whole
number of points obtained right.You know, which some might say

(29:14):
as manager of the first team, heshould, he should, they should
know what's going on. It's just it's a little bit,
it's a little bit awkward. Well, when our head of selector
and chief cricket coordinator gets 33 points.
I'm only interested in laurels. Bless Got 10, Chippy 11, Frank
14, Adam 15. How many?

(29:36):
Chippy's lad, get deeply. No, I think Tippy put these in
before Joe Martin. We Chippy's lad was absolutely
Jayden. He was fantastic, kept walking
around ground and asking questions about why don't they
get two runs when they run because they both run one.
That were one of his questions and why, when you've got 11

(29:56):
players, can you only get 10 wickets?
Back on the last batter, bat on his own, is there a?
Question. You know, how do we know he's
batting first? All these sort of thing.
But I think the thing that that tipped it for me, Gary and Fran
were walking around quite a bit and he'd obviously picked up on
the name Morehouse. And he whispered to his dad into
the real coincidence that Gary and Fran are called Law House.

(30:21):
The last thing. So anyway, dude, you're, you
know, you're the permanent critic.
What do you think? Should we do it again next week,
this point Predict. Yeah.
Yeah, I think we should do it again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it would have been nice
and all the scoring rules beforewe all participate, I suppose.
But yeah, yeah, why not? I just still got 38.

(30:44):
I weren't going to tell anyone, Gary.
It's all right, Jess, I know. I mean, it's worth just
mentioning, like I said, there'sonly 8 clubs that I wanted the
predictions from and some of theclubs were playing each other.
And so for example, Darwin and has Linden.
So, you know, people would pull 10 points for Darwin, three
points for AS Linden, the one again prominent member down at

(31:07):
Law House, Darwin versus AS Linden, 16 points.
Who were that case? Stand.
So that was the I had to unravelthat, but I'm right.
We'll do it again. And if anyone's listening and
they want to have a goal, then just send me a message and I can
get it out to you. And then maybe with someone we
can develop next year just to have a little bit of fun.
And if we want to put a pound a week on and it builds up, then

(31:31):
then we can do that. So but before we come back to
Henry and go to the questions, it's got to be worth a shout out
once again to the second team. The great victory again, it's,
you know, I know you won't like it, Joe Martin.
It's a foregone conclusion is that table.
I think the promotion probably isn't far off now I would say.

(31:52):
Yeah, yeah, 42 points above Enfield.
Knowing how many points are theyabove third?
Yeah, that's Enfield. That's.
Enfield in 3rd, are they OK? Got it.
Yeah, so that's 42 points. So another great victory, Duke.
I know you were, I'm watching the first team, but I know
you've done a lot of work this week studying this this game.
Do you want to talk us through how it went to Crompton please?

(32:14):
Yeah, can do. Yeah, I wasn't watching the
first team, but I was keeping a very, very close eye as I always
do on the on play cricket. And I spoke to Biffle and Will
after the game and it's as near perfect performance as you can
get really. I mean, they were playing,
playing the team who were in 5thCrompton, you know, they're not

(32:35):
rubbing rags by any stretch. And our boys obviously racked up
267 batting first thanks to Metcalf getting a tonne.
And you know, he probably hasn'tscored as many runs as what we
what we all thought he would do this year, Declan after the year
he had last year. But it's it's great to see him
finally getting significant landmark and shortcut as well.

(32:57):
76 from just 70 balls. So that that sort of propped the
ears up. And last year we got 267 and
then we wrapped him up in 20 oddovers, bowling him out quickly.
So just a shout out for young Jacks Edwards, who who's only
played a handful of games and hegot he got 4 wickets.
So yeah, I think I think it's probably about as comprehensive

(33:19):
a victory as you can get. And you know, when you throw in
the fact that the skipper arranged his engagement party
for the night before the game and half the team were pissed to
to then throw that that performance in and win so
comprehensively, you know, with a few fuzzy heads, then I think
it's a, you know, an even an even bigger achievement.

(33:41):
But like I said to William Bethel, it's interesting.
All the main protagonists who performed in the game.
Dec Metcalf. He don't drink shortcut.
He don't drink Jacks Edwards. And you don't like to drink?
That again with the ball, so youknow all the lads who all the
lads who were pissed that they do on Friday, Friday night did
nothing and they were propped upby the by the young lads who
weren't, who weren't there. That's a great point that 9

(34:04):
wickets for 40 runs off less than 10 overs between those two.
Two young lads, Shortcut and young Edwards Real.
Cats up to 40 wickets this year in the twos.
Yeah, yeah, and gets runs I. Think he's going to get many
more. Unfortunately he's got a job on
Sundays now. We can't.
We can't play on Sundays there. Won't be many more.
There won't be any more Saturdaygames, no.

(34:25):
No, so great performance again from from the second team.
Well done. And you know, let's keep that
going. As I've said, 181 points, 147
points, Green Mount behind them.You know, we've won 15, they've
won 11. So let's keep that going
because, as you said, Joe, it's so important to get promoted and
getting to that that junior division, Division One, a great,

(34:48):
a great effort from all of you for the from the weekend.
So back to you, Henry. I love you find the the you
know, the the training within the first team and the the
liaison with the second team, However, on works together.
Is that something that you enjoyor do you think it should be

(35:08):
like the first team squad only? I think it's I think it's great
bringing the second team is in because got to expose them as
much as you can because they're the next players that are going
to get first team opportunities,aren't they?
So I think it's great that the second team just get involved in
the in the training. It's been they've been doing a
lot this season. It's great, really good.
Yeah, and it does work because you get that whole same attitude

(35:30):
within games and you never know,you know a few injuries or real
dip in form or, or whatever theycould be be straight in the
first team. So it does work.
And again, because of that and and down the way that they, you
know, they manage the whole structure that the training
ratio and it does work really well.
And anything else from from Garyor Dutch or Joe before we go

(35:53):
into the questions for Henry. We've already mentioned it, but
obviously Henna's went past 1000runs for the in his Lancashire
League career this weekend and you had no idea, HI believe that
you're anywhere that you're anywhere near.

(36:14):
So it's a great, it's a great effort, especially considering
this is your first year batting at batting at three.
I think my only question would be how was from when you've
battered, you know, seven and eight maybe in your first year
batting at 5:00 and 6:00 last year.
Have you thought, have you made any changes or have you

(36:34):
approached anything differently when you've had to bat 3 this
year? I think the only difference that
I felt is sort of not, but probably, probably good pressure
if anything like that. And when I'm going out to bat
that, you know, I'm, I'm a key part of our batting order where,
you know, if I get, if I don't get runs, you know, we might not
win the game. Or if I do get runs, it's going

(36:55):
to massively help us win. So I think that's, if anything,
it's been, it's been good and it's been really nice to be a
part of and a big part of the team in general.
It's been great watching you. I'm sorry, Gary, I interrupted
you. No, no, I think I introduced a
new job. But yeah, no, it bodes, it bodes
well to to have a successful season and at the same time have
such a positive of, of developing a couple of of the

(37:19):
younger elements in in in key positions in the team.
Opening the bowling, batting at 3-4 again at 5.
Wayne Gansler's been playing, you know, those sort of, you
know, senior positions, if you like junior players.
So confidence in their abilitiesfrom the selection through to
the captaincy and not trying to hide them all.

(37:42):
You know, this is a big game or we're chasing 250 or drop them
down to change the batting orderand things like that.
I think it's that for that, for me, that's the sustainable
element of, of what we see next year and the year after and the
year after that. And you know, you've got a
couple of hundred runs in Worsley Cup already as well.
So, you know, I think though that those totals and averages

(38:06):
and stuff are only going to get better.
The experience getting now, you know, be honest, nobody's,
nobody gets 50 every week or anything like that.
So there's going to be some, some tough days.
But yeah, I think it's, I think it's just you must feel good
about getting that opportunity and then you're grabbing it with
both hands at the moment, I think.
Yeah, and you're looking good with it, you know, and it's, you

(38:28):
know, you, I know you won't rest, your dad won't let you
rest the rest on your laurels. So it is, it's a great
achievement, you know, So congratulations for that.
So we're just going to some of these questions.
There's apparently one of your nicknames that that have been
knocking around for a while is Snooze.
Or can you just explain us what that's about?

(38:49):
Well, about 3 years ago, but with my first year in the first
team I had, I had a day where I was a little bit, as you called
snoozy in the field and out in the boundary.
And this field, a couple you know, was a bit off my game a
bit. But it was three years ago and
it's it's stuck. Unfair really.
Well, you, you say that you knowyou did it and you know these
things stick, you know, So it's just, you know, it might

(39:12):
disappear when you you know, your mid 40s, but but that's
life. What about?
There's a question here. Talk us through how anyone can
turn up to a cricket ground withno gear and what happened.
Well, that three years ago was, well, this one.
Oh, that was last year. What happened then?

(39:34):
We were we were going to little Bro away, which is the furthest
ground away from lower house. Yeah, so you said we.
Who's we? Me and my dad in the car with my
dad I usually drive myself. So my my.
Like stays in my boots and in the morning I hadn't transferred
my bag over to my dad's car and then we got the Tubra.

(39:59):
As I was getting out of the car I realised and Ben got there at
the same time as us and was right next to me.
So I like ran round to the corner of my car and whispered
to my dad that. I didn't have my bag so which
then he shouted it very loudly and yeah, my mum had to come and
bring my bag for me. Very kind of a.

(40:20):
Yeah, it was very good. And what was the significance
about it being the furthest ground away from home?
Well, it took a very long time for my bag to get here.
So. We were, I think, I think we
were more than like 15 overs into the game and and
Littlebridge changing room is atthe opposite side of the ground
to the car park. So 15 overs into the game,
everyone's seen me doing a lap with my bag on, coming round

(40:44):
with my bag on. So yeah, I got a bit of stick
for you have. You whites or not?
Do you have no. I did have my whites, I had my
wipes, I just had my cricket back with my spikes and my
kitten. Right, OK.
Right. And what did your dad say when
you whispered to him? I.
Don't think I can repeat that onhere all.
Right. OK, OK.
I would imagine knowing Charlie as well as I know him, he would

(41:06):
have found it slightly funny and.
By the time after, yes, but not the time.
Yeah, not the time he was annoyed with you.
So that. That's interesting.
I'm guessing it's not something you'll ever do again.
You never knowing me? Hopefully not.
Question a question from a little pseudonyms This so it
doesn't tell who'd win in 100 metre race between you and Deck

(41:29):
Stansfield. Between me and Deck Stansfield,
Yeah, I probably say me. I don't know what you guys
think. You are quite you're a bit like
a whippet around that boundary edge and I've not really seen
deck run that much, but maybe wecould arrange something.
Deck's a lot more aerodynamic, wouldn't it?

(41:52):
Maybe we could arrange somethingbefore in the next few weeks.
I don't really understand this one, so I'm going to read it as
it says. I know Joe's got a couple as
well and I'm sure Gary's got something up his sleeve.
So this is word for word. Henry, talk us through when you
picked Matt. Hope for Jean Cap at church.

(42:13):
Away for the seconds. I think I was only 1514.
It was that my first season in the seconds.
Right. We had like a, a thing going
where I'm sure you've heard of it, the gene cap.
It is. We don't do it anymore or they
don't do it anymore. Sorry, but whoever has had has
been. So say I I went a little bit

(42:36):
without my bag, I would have gotthe Geno for the day because
I've been the idiot the day basically.
OK. Hope it was.
We used to rig it so there were two standout candidates and the
team would vote on on who would be, who would get it and it
would always be a 55 after 10 votes and we would nominate
somebody to have the casting. Vote right.

(42:56):
And Henry had the casting vote this week and it was Matt or I
don't know, probably someone like Aggers or something like
that. And Henry Henry stuck the knife
in on on Skip on that. I bet that went down well.
There's a video of it somewhere.There's a video of it.
That's good. Yeah.
Hi. Charles.
We just. Were you just flashing these?

(43:18):
Then it's Charles. I'm not like Charles.
Sorry, what? Can blind you?
What? Sorry.
That's the lights off. Yeah, Charles, how you doing?
Good mate, Eve? Yeah, well, good.
Thanks Nearest. We've got to get you on this.
Oh yeah, I've just been buildinga fence panel.

(43:39):
All right. Lovely.
Yeah. Has it?
Has it gone well? I hadn't put it in the thing yet
so I don't know if I've measuredit properly, but I've spent
about 3 1/2 hours doing it so I hope I have.
You rang me as I had to come andgive you a lift.
Yeah, I thought you, but I knew you were busy doing this job.
Yeah, your. Chills.
I'll be there. Yeah.
Yeah, you've got some good DIY mates Charlie, aren't you?

(44:01):
With Shields, Ian and Duke? Did that help you outgoing
Charlie? Your lads come across really
well on this. You must be proud of him, what
he's done well. In terms of this podcast or life
or cricket or what? Well, not not remembering his
bag, we don't need to go down that route.
Just around his career at low race or fog and 1000 runs and

(44:24):
you know, his contribution to a very successful team, It must be
something and you're playing thesame side, you know, it's
fantastic to watch. You must be proud of that.
Yeah, very. I love it.
I love it. In all, ONS didn't have been
playing unless Henry was playingnow, you know, but it's good.
I enjoy it. He's done really well.
Yeah, He's. I have no idea how long it
normally takes to get 1000 runs to be perfect at this, but he

(44:47):
looks. I always remember back to when I
was first starting and I didn't feel comfortable playing in the
first team until I was like 23, you know, 24.
And these youngsters have come in even when Keegan comes in the
odd game and they just look really confident nowadays.
So yeah. But yeah, yeah, Card of the
young lad. Good, good.
Yeah, he's doing a great job andcredit to to you and Louise for

(45:09):
the the way he is and the way he's, you know, he's come across
on here and you know, the standard.
Now, Charlie, you know, he's fantastic that that you're
still, you know, good enough andfit enough to play in that side
because it's a hell of a side. When you look back over, you
know, going back when, when you first started or even started,
there hasn't been a better side that they've currently got

(45:30):
there. Now, do you enjoy playing in
there? I know you said you're playing
in there with, you know, becauseof Henry and you want to enjoy
all those periods, but you stilllook like you're enjoying every
game. Is that about right?
Yeah, yeah. When I said yeah, if I wasn't
still I wasn't. If I wasn't enjoying it as well,
I wouldn't be playing either chess.
So I am enjoying it. The dressing room is good.

(45:50):
You know, it's as good as when we used to play in terms of the
the crack that we have. And obviously they are a great
team. When you look at when you look
at the players in the side, you know, sometimes I look at back
at some of the decent teams thatwe've that we've had in the past
and look at some photos and I think actually we weren't that
good. We just, I think what we had, we
had, we were good at winning games because of how close we

(46:13):
were at times. I think as well.
Whereas look at this, look at this team and every one of them
is an exceptional player, aren'tthey?
And. And and I think it goes to when
you look at, you know, is there any weak links who could you
know someone, you know, you lookat Will Norcross or you look at
Keegan like you says, Oh, you know, when Frankie came back,
Oh, bless all these players. There is no real spaces where

(46:35):
you're 100% right. Even when you know for maybe
2005 onwards when you started winning even more after the cup
final in turn 4, there was always someone that maybe would
drop out with because of four one.
You know, these are just exceptional.
And are you enjoying? I know you've always been a bit
of a fitness geek, but are you enjoying the the way Dan runs

(46:56):
things, the mind games, the you know, the attitude side of it?
Because that is if we were all, you know, we drove through a
brick wall for each other and we'd die and we'd salt for two
weeks if we got beat. It's not that like that.
Now, if you manage that, you know one of the senior players.
It talks a bit much for my liking to be honest.

(47:17):
Yeah, I am very much like you just said.
We just get on with it, don't we?
And kind of do our best and all the psychological side of it.
And you know, with the, the, thetactics and you know, the
thought stuff they talk about atthe training is beyond me to be
honest, mate. I get a bit bored.
Well, obviously it's great for the kids and you know, Ben loves

(47:38):
it, Johnny loves it. I think you've got to be that
kind of person. You've definitely got to be that
kind of person. But I'm not knocking it really.
I'm joking. You know, it's it's great for
the team, fantastic for the team.
You know, the the like I just talked about this.
It's as good of cracks we've hadin a long time and that probably

(47:58):
all down to Ben and Don bringing.
Yeah, and I, I appreciate what you're saying about, you know,
you're a bit long in the tooth for it, for that change of
mentality. And it's easy for me to me to
say. And I don't know whether Gary
thinks the same, but you, you you've got a smile on your face
a lot. I don't just mean you, Charlie,
I mean the whole team. And even when things aren't

(48:18):
going well, it's not. And I know it's easier when
you're a great side than when some of the sides we had.
But they won't be going home sulking for days like we used
to. And and they're looking, you
know, you're looking thinking shit, next week we've got as
Linden and their top of leagues,they're going to be tizzy and it
becomes on on enjoyable. So as a spectator, I love I love

(48:39):
watching the attitude of you allnow and you know, that includes
you and and the other players sothat maybe can prolong you
carrying on playing as you are doing.
I guess. I don't know, Gary, what you
know, you've listened to down onthis and you listen to the
attitude. Do you think you would buy into
it like a lot of the younger ones have?
I would just if there were a story kept coming back, just

(49:00):
came back to me then about maybethere's sort of differences in
in that. And I suspect that the captain
and the professional wouldn't take 15 year olds into the lane
ends after a game had been rained off for their yeah, for
their grown-ups to come and dragdrag them out and and bollock
the the senior players for letting it happen.

(49:23):
Is that right, Charlie? Well, it definitely used to
offer me. I know that, but it did.
I don't think it would. No, no, I think going back to
what you were saying, Jazz, I think the they take, they've
taken the fear factor out of thecricket definitely, you know,
and that's in terms of not scared against playing, playing
against any teams. You know, we don't have that
fear factor anymore. And in their own games as well.

(49:46):
So they're not not in no way arethey scared to fail.
As long as they're doing the right things, as long as they've
got a plan, you know, and they're trying to execute it
properly at the right time of the game, then they're not
scared of failing at all. And I think that's that's
probably why they look happy allthe time, because, because, you
know, they generally are. Yeah, yeah.
And it's so difficult to get into.
It's not just sport, you know, you could say in life or work or

(50:09):
you're all different social circles to be happy and
comfortable with what you're doing.
And the end of the day, you know, whether you're a
firefighter or a policeman, things at work sometimes are
life and death. But a game of cricket, it's not.
Where was we used to think it, You know, it was it was the end
of the world and the and it's sorefreshing to see and and went

(50:30):
once Dan's gone and you've gone,Charlie, I think these players
will do that and they will carryon.
But it's like Gary alluded to, you know, we were back in in our
day, I think there was a lot of not selfishness, but there were,
you know, batters battered and bowlers bowled and and some
people would maybe have a littlebit of joy because someone's

(50:50):
failed because they might get upthe batting order or they might
get a shot the week after. But that doesn't seem to be the
case with this lot. So no, it's brilliant to see
Charlie and let's are you one ofthese?
It's not over yet. We'll keep going.
Or do you think we've pissed it?I think we've pissed it, Paul.
Good lad, good lad. He's literally the only

(51:12):
pessimist to decide, and he does.
He's no different. So he's always been exact scared
to death. Yeah, you know.
Everything. Of everything I mean from our
workings out I think 4 points atRochdale Rochdale at home will
win it that that's my my forecast but we'll see Joe

(51:32):
Martin whilst we're on about being scared today just talk us
through those two incidents on Saturday went ball it in the
chest and then when you slipped cheers Charlie the.
Ball, it's in my chest every week.
Not not as bad as that one on Saturday.
You mean not as bad as that one?It was a Tom and bald about it
went over the head and then bounced and then hit me in my
chest. Your gloves were anywhere near

(51:53):
it. That's just a common occurrence
of my wicket keeping technique. And what about the one where the
the field is throwing the ball in and you're you're doing It
was almost like a turtle impression I.
Slept quite a lot, you know. Yeah, I know you do, but I think
you might need to have a look atyour studs.
Yeah, I agree. Yeah.
Good, good. Well that was fantastic to get

(52:15):
your dad on Henry and I don't think he stole the show.
I think you've done a sterling job whilst you've been on.
I'll just ask the other lads if there's any more questions for
you, you know, maybe around. Well I'll see if we've got any
more questions. Gary, anything from you for
Henry before we we wrap up? Not for me.
Thanks Jeff. Brilliant, all been said.

(52:36):
Thanks, Gaz. Joe Martin, No.
Questions. No Dutch.
I've got a couple. Oh.
Good. Yeah, 1's another one's, another
nickname one. Yep, some nickname that you've
been given recently that serves something to play on your
surname. Do you want to?
Do you want to share that with us?
Henry Dropham. Yeah, that one.
Why Henry Dropham? I dropped two catches in the T20

(52:59):
against church. Happens everyone drops catches,
don't they? Yeah, I thought you might answer
in somewhere. Actually drop on a duty.
I've had plenty of stories aboutJohn Beneducci dropping catches
so. I mean that many, really.
No, I never got best around dropping catches anyway, let's
put it that way. It'd.
Be hard to ram your nickname with that job.
That's it, That's all the questions I've got for Henry.

(53:20):
Drew Peacock's written a couple of things but it's all about
Burnley. I don't know if we want to, if
we want to go into that, he wrote.
He sent me an e-mail at it was like half seven on Sunday, so I
think it was after the cup final.
A few moments later. This isn't No, we don't need to
talk. It's true, Peacock rolls.
Responded. Paisley is a patriot for this.

(53:42):
Now talk about the threes and fours.
Go on, Joe, give us their results, their recent results.
That'll be fantastic. They're both won on the weekend
really good. So the fours beat the Rami women
and Ball Map 400 and 17 or 18 I think, and then knock them off.
Some really good performances inthere and then.

(54:04):
League played for Amy, didn't she?
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Yeah, I think so. And then the threes won at home
against Great Harwood again, some some really good before
adding got 60 odd and Joe Clark got 40 odd.
So yeah, we played really well, played really well all weekend

(54:24):
and especially the Poets considering how young they are,
Pink, he's doing a really great job with with that team and
they're playing some really goodcricket as well.
So excellent stuff all all around for the the threes and
fours on on Sunday. It was like Pad Piper on
Saturday, I saw him down on on the Burnley game and he came on

(54:45):
and all the All Stars and all the all the kids were just
loving flocking my name and sounds like he's doing a good
job. Magnificent, Gary.
Fantastic, Really great. Yeah, those Wednesday nights
with the likes of Pinky and yourPaddy Joe and then the other
helpers and the the coaches. It's a real pleasure to watch

(55:09):
and again show take to Stan and we're organising everything
behind the scenes. It's just like a conveyor belt,
which is is fantastic to see. And just quick, I meant to ask
this question. The pitch on Saturday did it.
You know, I've discussed this before.
Wind, I used to hate wind, whether it's cricket or
football. Was the pitch playing well

(55:30):
enough or did you know it's Tom Walker's innings?
Quite, you know, quite the way the the, that any player should
play on that type of pitch. Joe Martin, can you answer that?
I know you never look at it, but.
Yeah, no, I didn't really look at it.
I think it was a perfectly fine,perfectly fine wicket.
I don't think it was particularly fast, but I think
it was a fast, fast wicket. I didn't bat in it in the second

(55:55):
inning, so I can't, I can't really say.
Hennes. Did it turn a lot in the second
innings you think? On the first one ball a spin,
but no, he was, he was relatively flat.
It was saying a little bit lowerfrom the park end towards the
clubhouse, but other than that it was pretty, pretty good
wicket to bat on to be honest. Yeah, especially against Pearls.

(56:15):
Yeah, I mean, Tom and I think actually, I think Harry Snowden
as well. Actually, I think they both
bowled. No, just Tom.
I can't remember. I wasn't even paying it.
Tom bowled, I thought, bowled quicker from the park end
against the wind than he did with the wind in his first
spell. Right I.
Don't know if I don't think snorting ball from.

(56:35):
Second spell to Tom said he'd bevery quick in his second spell.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, as we're getting as we're
getting triggered because he as soon as that wind gets up and he
sees somebody running in off site screen from.
From park end and he used after the 25 overs and he's he he
begrudges people only being limited to like 15 overs these
days. Yeah, yeah.

(56:56):
And being able to bowl from either end.
I just used to get forced by terrible more to bowl from one
end all the time. And I think does it because you
know, the way Stan and and Wardogo about it and the bits and
bats of rain that's been about. It's good that they can keep
keep getting the quality pictures out there, right?

(57:17):
I've not a great deal else otherthan congratulations to Rami.
They won the the world's the cupfinal yesterday, beating Burnley
at Burnley. I think they battered them
really, when you look at the thescores and what have you.
But two sides that you know are clearly not going to win the
league. So good that they they fought
that out. Anything else on a final point
before I close the the podcast? No Henry, I'd really appreciate

(57:42):
you coming on. Thanks very much for the awkward
questions. You managed them quite well,
only quite well, but really appreciate you coming on and
getting your dad there for giving us 5 minutes of his time,
which we really appreciate. So good luck for the rest of the
season. You'll get that winners medal,
don't worry about that. Don't concern yourself with Joe

(58:03):
Martin's pessimism. But thanks very much for coming
on Henry. Anything you want to say before
we conclude it? Anything to to your mates Tom or
or Gansler? It's.
Been a pleasure. But I suppose, Trevor, that last
question was from. Thanks.
Thanks very much. You're welcome.
Do you want to do it? Do you want to do a quick

(58:24):
impersonation before we turn off?
I'm all right. Thanks.
I'm OK. I think you've got some.
Well, you've got an audio of it,haven't you?
Yeah, I have you I. Believe that.
Yeah. Brilliant.
Thanks very much everyone for listening.
Don't forget we will be doing the the Super draw and carrying
out the points predictor over the next few weeks.

(58:46):
So if you want to join either ofthem give us a shout and then we
can talk about them on here. So thanks everyone for listening
and and goodnight.
