Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome along to the unnamed podcast Thursday the seventh of
November twenty twenty four, one of my favorites. Yeah, what
the seventh seventh November? Yeah, November.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, everything's you know what like the you guy folks?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yeah, you're what's that horse race? They're all out of
the way.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
And then yeah, and then just before the Christmas parties
start yesterday on the agenda podcast available, We're all good
podcasts are sold. G Lane asked me, when's an appropriate
date to stick it into neutral?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Now? The problem there is he's my manager.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, a sports podcast ostensibly, I don't know, it's the sports.
We describe it as a sports adjacent podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I think that's a good, good description. Yeah, sports adjacent.
So yeah, we okay, that's that's complicated. Well when you've
got your manager asking yeah, I was like, this is entrapment. Yeah,
good point, sir, So what did you what did you say?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'd sort of try to take his lead on it.
I was like me, Lane, I'm spreading through the finish line,
you know, man.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
For you now, but what about you? What are you
when you're sort of the thinking of checking it in neutral? Yeah?
Good call, just lie, he said, December, he said, December.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
First, I said, I'm probably pushing the I'm probably pushing
the clutch.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
In a couple of weeks out from December first, I
think it's good to change down, you know, I think
it's it's not just put it in neutral. I think
you've got to change down. G Lane has never put
a neutral in his life. You know, he's he's the
kind of guy that he gets he goes first, second, third, fourth, fifth,
and he just he's he flows it in fifth. Well,
I would even just his vibe. He's a floor it
(01:38):
in fifth guy.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I would even describe it as almost flooring it in
third to where he's redlining at the hole up against
the limitter. Well, at least when you're flooring in third
that I would say.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
The thing with him and flooring in the fifth is
you just use a lot of gas and you don't
go that much faster, do you know what I mean?
You've plant your foot and the gas just floods into
the into the motor, but you don't really because you
haven't got the revs going you actually, I don't go anywhere.
So ge Lane's always got the foot on the floor
using a heap of gas but oftentimes it takes a
long time to actually, you know, accelerate up to the
(02:08):
speed that you want to get to.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
So what happens when g Lane puts it into reverse,
like slams it really hard into reverse? What sort of
circumstances lead up to that happening.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Ge Lane in reverse? When has ever gone in reverse?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I feel like I don't think of it, feel like
quite often, for instance, after the radio, would I feel
like when he came into the building approximately three in
the morning and my little Kip on the couch and
him going and reverse, was him actually collapsing onto the
kitchen floor and in the radio?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah? Again, I mean that's interesting. I wouldn't say that
he ever got into reverse. Then I think that that
was possibly neutral slash forth. But but you find that
he would have got straight back up again and away
he goes from that position. I don't know. I never
known Glane to reverse. He goes into car parks, frontwayst Yes,
(03:01):
he went back into it.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I would say that he would have been It's like
he was in neutral with a brick on the accelerator,
you know, so the car.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah go nowhere, but going nowhere? Yeah, Yeah, it's a good,
good analogy for his life. Actually, just flooring it and
going nowhere is the title of his book, Flooring It
and Going Nowhere. What would the title of your book? Bed?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
You have?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
You have?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You put much thought into that. Slow and Steady Wins
the Race. A really exciting book that so many people
would want to read. No, I'd like a cricketing part
of some kind, like you know, balls out, two league stumps. Yeah,
two league stumps. I'll be happy with that. Yeah, you
also be let through. Let that one through to the keeper.
(03:46):
Let it through to the keeper.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Left that one through the keep because you just always
just leaving.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You've got to let a ball. You've got to know
where you're off stumpers, and you've got to let it go.
Every good batsman knows.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
That sneck him out. Actually know, maybe caught in bold
might be yours, because you know.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
What, I don't think I've ever been caught in bold.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Really, it's the worst feeling.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I've never I've never been caught in bold. I've been
bold a lot, I've never been caught in bold. Anyone
else ever been caught in bold?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Yeah? A couple of times. Yeah, I tend to drive
on the app spoon it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
You'll sps timing and drive on the up. So I
missed those and I get bald. Yeah, yes, that's w
league before. I remember once I shouldered arms to swing
and how did that go? I got out? Yeah, Kevin
Jeremy Dunn who was the first living captain at the time.
(04:37):
It was a it was a club game, and he
didn't want to find me because he's a good friend,
and he just went, I just shut shaking his head
and he went, that's absolutely plumb slowly put his finger up.
Do you know what? I think?
Speaker 5 (04:50):
It's actually not okay what you have to do here
in New Zealand when it comes to cricket umpiring, but
the fact that you have to umpire for some of
your best friends and then at least once or twice
in your life having to give them one of them
at ALBW because it's just like a refusable decision, and
it's just I hate it so much. I think I'm
I'm poring your own game of crickett is the worse thing.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I hate it. Yeah, it is hard, it's a hard
thing to do, but I think there's a greater thing
that you have to work towards in those situations and
LBW for me, it's it's clear, it's pretty clear. If
there's a real if there's any doubt, and there's oftentimes
a good reason for there to be some doubt, then
it's not out. Yeah I know. And so if it's out,
(05:32):
it's out. And now you go one hundred percent sure
that it's out. And in that case, you've got to
give someone out. It's it's a tough thing to do,
but it's not right. What it does is if you
don't give that person out. Of my experience, it's generally
people who don't know the rules who actually struggle with it,
you know, who don't actually know the LBW rule. But
if you don't give that out, what happens after that?
(05:54):
Generally you get reprisals going on. You'll get other people
that when they then come to one, they decided that
they're not going to give it out, and you get
the next behind that are clearly out, and then the
game just falls to bits completely.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
The last game of competitive cricket I played, I was
filling in for a mate's team and the guy the
Batsman hit it and it got lodged behind his pad
between his knee and his pad and the keeper ran
around and pulled it out and then appealed, well, there
was one umpire from our team, one umpire from their team.
But then about fifteen dudes from the sides of who
were watching the game ran onto the pitch with their
(06:27):
phones and they googled the rules and blah blah blah.
And I was thinking, I was on the fielding team.
I was like, is this how we want to win
this game of cricket? They were, they were It was
their mates who were running on saying, oh, it's actually
technically out, and then the other team I was technically
not out. No, no, no, Well that just googled like
whatever rules, you can google anything and confirm you Yeah,
you're Specially.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I feel like that's I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but
I would always say that's that's not out. Also, it's
not in the.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Spirit of did ball. Yeah, it's dead ball. It's not
in the spirit of the game. Also, like, is that
how you want to win? I know, like if we
won that game, we go back into the pavilion like yes, boys,
good work.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, I'd feel disgusting. I had a situation where I
was umpiring on Saturday. Actually kids cricket under thirteens and
one of the kids did a man cad on, which
is you know where you run out the non strike
or as you're running into bowl. How old are they thirteen?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
I'd look straight at the parents, by the way, they
need to have a good heart, look at themselves. I've
got a kid going around me and kidding people.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Well, but I was umpiring and the kid was out
men care and I and they and they the kids
were like, it's out, and I said, yeah, technically speaking,
but let's not do man kids. You know, it's not
in the spirit of the increase. And then they're like,
but it's out, and I said, as I said, it's
(07:48):
not in the spread of the game. Let's just give
them a warning and let's move on with the game.
And there were some kids that were like pretty hard
pushing it to be out, and I said, I'm the
umpire here, yeah, and very calmly, and I said, I'm
the umpire here. And if you want to warn someone,
you know, because as a batsman you can't do that.
You can't know it's not good to do that. As
(08:09):
a batsman there needs to be repercussions for it. But
as a bowler and a person who played a bit
of cricket, but you know, never to a high standard,
but a bit of cricket. I would never. I would
never man kid anyone, and I wouldn't want a man kit,
and I never I've never threatened to do it. I've
never done it and then gone like taking the balls off,
run through taking the balls off, and then gone, that's
a warning. I would if someone was taking a head start,
(08:35):
I'd run through the crease. Yeah, but I would never
take the bails off or even shape to take the
balls off. You say, look, you've because when you run
through the crease that the non striker knows that they've
made a mistake. At that point.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
It's such an easy fix though, because you know, as
a bowler from the limited amount of bowling that I did,
but I was down the non struggers in quite a
lot as you just at some point the battler just says,
go to the batsman and the umpire like, hey mate,
come on, can we just yeah, you're cheating a little
bit here, tighten that up and happy days. And then
if a man kid comes along, then fucking deal with that.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Then I'm okay with the man cat after a warning.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Same Actually, weirdly.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
If you give them a brushback, you run through your
crazy tenrouds, like, look, mate, I don't mind you're backing up,
but you're halfway down the pitch before I'm even at
the stumps. Then if they're doing it again, yeah, I'm
okay with just a.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, I think in that situation. Otherwise, what do you
do at some point there has to be some repercussions
otherwise because otherwise, yeah, yeah, I agree, But yeah, it's
hard explaining to thirteen year olds that this is just
not really a way you want to get anyone out,
because they're still trying to get someone out and trying
as hard as they can to get someone out. What
they don't realize is that it doesn't matter. But how
(09:47):
do you tell someone that it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Cricket's also a tough game for this because there's just
a lot of gray area and a lot of these rules,
And we went on a lot about it being a
gentleman's game, and of course it's not really, but at
the same time it kind of is. So it's quite
weird teaching people. How do you teach a kid about
things being half out? Yeah, it's the same thing with
the w W win. It pictures in line during when
(10:09):
you take it upstairs for if you know it and
you go upstairs and if the impact is with it,
the umpires cool part of the.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, it's like, yes, it was going to have the workouts,
but he's not out.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
I think that that's the toughest part about cricket, and
the same with the man ketting situation, same with Wappam
with Johnny Bisto and all that with England. Is there
both sides to each argument, which is strange that a
sport can be played such a high level with that
going on.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Oh, this was great about the sport. There's a whole
lot of gray in it. Yeah, it's it's always been.
I love those little bits of cricket because that's where
you really find out about someone.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, right, I can see why people hate it, but
the same I like it as well.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
It's like learning English.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'd say, if you didn't speak English, you learn English
before except I have to see. But then there's all these exceptions.
Sometimes this would not.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
That much game. It's just you're right English. But I
reckon that thing that they've done with alreally going deep
into this book. The three listeners left with the thing
they're doing with League, like you know, going back and
reviews and stuff over over the bunker. I know that
it's frustrating, but like, was it really like.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I would say the bunker does need to go, but
I would say that ninety Like for the most part,
League is adjudicated on vibe. If you dropped the ball
and went straight down, that's still considered a knock on.
Even if it backwards. The viber is you're holding it.
You fucking would dropped other guys ball, I know exactly. Yeah,
And I think that I like, I liked it like that,
(11:40):
you know, I like that.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I like that part of it. And forward passes are
a bit bit like that because live when you and rugby,
you can just tell a forward past. It just feels
it feels forward. There's something about it. It just you
just know that it's not quite right. That's the rhythm
of it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
The thing that I find about the bunker, because I'm
probably more of a Warriors fan than a Rugby League fan,
I think it'd be fair to say, and I find
that if there's a Bunker decision that goes against the Warriors,
then I am like, fuck the bunker, why are you
going back so far? This is really stupid. But if
it goes in the Warriors favor, I'm like, you go
all the way back. You check that mistake from one
hundred meters away because I beat you, and there we go.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
It is going back miles and miles, Like how far
do you want to go? Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
It tells you because they score a try and then
you're like, oh wait, but six phases also because like
only at the top level do they have the bunker,
but it even really club ground around the country, they
don't have a bunker. They just got a couple of
touches who you know, sons are playing in the game world,
and it all evens out.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I know this is that's and that's totally true. And
some people have more like than other people. Yeah good, Yeah,
definitely some people have more like than other people.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
But that's life.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Got the same message in football at the moment, it's
driven me absolutely nuts. I've got the VAI that essentially
is just second referee to the game, so you've got
a referee out in the field and then everything is
so Also the v I can contact the reff mid
game and go, hey, mate, look, we're just going to
show you something that happened, you know, five minutes to go.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
On the stream.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
We've been checking it out, so could you just pause
the game, come and never look at And then the
referee is then been told him is he to come
check this out? So he's already thinking, fuck, I'm probably
going to have to lean to the side of the
var that you know that recommended me to have a
look at this. It's probably going to And then you
slow it down and it's like, funk. Now it looks
like every down, yeah, and you're just dealing with this.
And then it's the same thing like people will score
a goal and then you have to wait five minutes
(13:27):
to check whether or not it was on or off site,
and it's like this guy has just celebrated it, then
he's not, and then he has and fans fans are
sitting there in the stadium having a ship time. It's
a disaster what we're doing with just in terms of
all sport.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, there's another weird thing that's happening to And I
know that people listening to this six people left will
agree if they've seen it. But in kids cricket now
and all kids, cricket you have, you're scored by an app.
So there's an app that the score is used crik
nore HQ HQ or you used to pick Cricket HQ
(13:59):
and I can't remember which one it is. It's either
player HQ or Cricket h Q.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
It was just coming in as I was finishing up
my career.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Oh my god, it sucks and it never works, and
it was always trying to tell you that the person
who's on strikes not on strike, so that the game
is now being controlled by people with this app on
the sideline. So two parents who are sitting there, one
will work, one at works, and one doesn't, so the
(14:25):
game constantly has to stop. It's so annoying.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Whoever, I'm sorry mate, whoever actually drives me nuts, whoever
invented the cricket score book. It's fine. It's the fucking
second best thing with the wheel, so good, and it
works so clearly because.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
You follow along and if the play keeps going and
you muck it up as a scorer, you just GISs
and you put down a number.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
I don't get why we're stepping away from this thing.
It really doesn't make sense to.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Go back to the good old days of having just
some autistic bloke on the sideline with the scorebook.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Fine, same go everywhere. Scoring was never a problem in
the game. The scoring bit was annoying for but some
people quite like doing it. You can talk and score
at the same time. You get quite good at it
once you score a bit, but you cannot talk and
do the player hq app at the same time. It
is absolutely impossible, So for anybody doing it, no parent
(15:16):
wants to do it. Every parent hates doing it. And
the other thing is the game has the rhythm of
the game. Rhythm of a cricket game is a crucial thing.
When you're the bowling team, you set the rhythm of
the game. You can either bowl your overs quickly, you
can bowl them slowly, but ultimately it starts with the bowler.
You decide the rhythm of the game. That fucking app
should not be deciding the rhythm of it. Currently, that
(15:37):
app is deciding the rhythm of the game. It's so
bloody annoying, and the kids have to stand around sometimes
five minutes and they're just sitting there so they wait
and it ruins it just it's so annoying. One of it.
I hate it, and it's because some parents want to
know some fucking stats.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
One of the best memories I've got is around a
cricket school book. It was I was playing a game
against Amberly at of all places down there in North Canterbury.
We were up there for a country game, and I
bet it quite well. I was opening the Bedding Classic
hard and fast out of the gates. I had about
forty off twenty and then gave up, look it away
and goring a quarter as I always did. Sorry, Gordon Ketty,
(16:15):
I know you drove meny a mile just to see
me get caught in the boundary. But I then was out,
and I was quite kind of disappointed because I thought
I was going to kick on him and back quite well.
I was feeling good and I was fucking fuming, and
I went into this. I went in and say, you
know what, I found it to be my happy place scoring.
I always enjoyed scoring. It kind of worked well with
my personality. I enjoyed like the satisfying nature of you know,
(16:37):
writing numbers down and it all looking nice and trains love.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Did you missturbate like four times a day?
Speaker 5 (16:45):
It feels like a separate issue, and I'm happy to
cover that up after the break later on.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
But that's a different people to know.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
It's different.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That was so many unders, you be sorry, and.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
Six pairs of undies for a three day trip.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
We're walking off after getting forty off twenty odd and
I went to go and do the scoring and I
jumped in the car with the other guy from the
other team that was scoring in the car. Yep, so
it was me and this other guy.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Hot boxing a car while he's scoring.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Oh funny you say this. And then after a while
we just got chatting and I was talking to him
about upset I was, and he was like, oh yeah,
and he started coaching me and he was. He started
talking about technique and things like that's just the other
guy in the car, the other score from the other team,
So who the fuck is this guy? Who the fuck
are you? Anyway, we start talking and then he starts
talking about his son and I'm like, oh, yeah, something
sounds like a handy cricketer. Anyway, I've just been sitting
(17:30):
in the car with Shane Bond's dad for the last
four hours scoring a game of cricket and ambly there
and I realized after I'd got out of the car
that it was Shane Bond's dad. And to this day
I think to myself, half I had that four hours again,
would have been fucking punished. But instead he was just
helping me out in my bedding. What a great man
Shaneburn's I did.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
You always find though, when you're betting, like when you
when you're going really well and you felt really good,
you never scored a mini runcke.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, but that was more to do with my own
technical deficiencies.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I felt when you're feeling the best, it is always
like you get a really good looking sixteen. Yeah, you know,
good out.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
A good sixteen is nothing quite like I got a
good six I was so good at getting a good sixteen.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
A good sixteen, and then could have kicked on that's
my day. And then I scratched your way to forty
eight and you go, oh Jesus, better terribly. Next thing,
you know, you you know, that's the day when you
score one hundred is when you're scratching your weight.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
And that's your one score, and that's your one score
for the season. That justifies you betting three. That's kind
of buying a new bet.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
The next season.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, exactly what didn't Kezy and the ACC eleven versus
the du Lux eleven games, didn't he bet through the
T twenty innings right opening.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
And get twenty eight years or something.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yes, he did, and he came off with a bad
in the air and we were like, yeah, okay, very
proud of you. Your run rate was so slow that
you have single handedly lost us to this game.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Great for him. He scored twenty odd my first.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Time not out, first time he'd played cricket, I think
basically since high school. Well, yeah, great, the Keys Show
was amazing. We've lost the game now, Keezy Show, because
we went at two. We went to and over for
twenty overs.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I watched that game, to be fair, I watched that
game on a live stream, and I was laughing out loud,
Like I'm not saying if I was playing, I'd be
any better because I'm rubbish, but I was. I was
laughing out loud at some of the things that were
going on. It was genuinely fund the slowness the pace
(19:32):
of that game, like how slow everything was in between
the overs, people just dawdling around the place. You don't
even normally watch something like that on TV and the Catchers,
eleven dropped catchers. Not a single catch was taken fifteen.
It was fifteen And the worst part is I took
one of them. You took a catch.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
We don't keep on the dropped to catches, not in
when you're keeping you haven't dropped it.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Rubbish.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
I don't think I can think of a time of
drop catching game.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
What I thought, we didn't make it.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
He really took.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
You do have good hands each you, mish. I saw
you under a couple of chaingers. You do have good hands. Well,
we know he took a stumping you and I took
a stump. That's right, Sorry, I took everyone dropped one
hands man, the notorious pants man, Joel Harrison, his hands
like feet. It was just him, It was he. It
was Lane dropped one. Yeah, Lane. Lane sort of pretended
(20:22):
that he didn't want to get around underneath one and
then but he accidentally found himself underneath the catch. You know,
you clearly didn't want to for a man that's.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
So aggressive, Why is he such a pussy under a highble?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
He used to have good hands.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
And now something's happened.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Small hands, small hands.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So I think once the once the reactions go just
a fraction. Then the small hands start coming in. But
Joel Harrison's got no excuses. He's got shovels for mates.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You know he does. He's got big ye know. Ju
Laine had nothing wrong with his hands. I'm playing his
quick to good good hands.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
The pantsman was too kind of rugby league focus. He
was trying to take it on his chest, was getting
the front knee up and it was causing him all
kinds of trouble.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
He's one of those that ran real fast and then
stopped and then ran again, and then back and then backwards,
and then it's like, no, you've misjudged that man. I
I overran one.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I was down at bloody fine league and then one
was coming towards and I just sprinted as hard as
I could.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Dove.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I haven't played on a pitch that nice who at
bay Oval and I actually slid past the ball that
went behind me and.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Then over the bound There's nothing worse than a running
in attacking it, because I got big chain of coming
at you. You're in boundary running in attacking it, and
then it goes over your head. But it doesn't go
for six. It goes for two. Bounces for four. That's
that's bad.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
I just remember with the one catch, I can think
of me dropping and these allegations that might have dropped short.
And that was the one out of the spa. And
that's why I'm still generally about a black leash infamous
catch where I leaped out of the spar keysy and
I kind of, you know, went flying after it. I
took a lunging dive forward. Unfortunately the ball just dropped short.
But that's the closest thing I've got to drop.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I think you misjudged it. You needed to get yourself
into a bit of position. I mean, there's no point
in lunging at the last second. You have plenty of
time out there on the boundary. Mate, I was in
a fucking spark pall. Yeah, but you had plenty of
time once you actually once you actually got out. I
think you watch flight down the ground. You need to
get out of the sparkle quicker'n mesh from the Meat
(22:18):
and Jerry breakfast on right now, I've got to see
it getting in the getting in the name of the
show and there.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Wait for the replay boys. Tell me this didn't drop short,
Jerry drop short?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
We have a game on our hands. There's a meeting
going on. But you should have got out of the
spark clicker.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Look at the fucking dive, Jerry.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
You needed to get out of the spark quicker, and
then you wouldn't have dropped short. You would have been
a meter further forward.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
This is from a man that thinks fucking fielding and
slips as a mother's meeting. Like I've had to be
the keeper for you before in the slaps, and you're
one of those people that forgets that. You know, as
a slipsman, you've actually got Judy's Now.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I dropped that. I dropped that absolute and slap. Do
you remember that?
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Isn't it funny?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Marshal?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Always remember the things they dropped. There was three or
four years ago straight.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I watched it. I saw it off the bat as
twine in the year. I thought as he went forward,
I thought, this is a great opportunity. This might he
might neck this and it might come right down my
throat that straw. I saw it all the way off
the bat and in and out.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Who was the bowler? Do you remember who the bowler was?
Ha muh Marshall, Oh, he was the bowler?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Have you done anything to work on you out of
the spar speed. No, No, it's probably a bit longer
than you'd like it to be.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
At the stage I have had a chat to I
think it was Andy Ellis who was heading that who
hit that shot. Yeah, and then I've also had a
chat to Nathan McCallum. I'm not sure if those boys
are locked in this year yet, but they have said
that if they do participate in this year's Black Class
that we maybe we should take a look at setting
something up again in that area. But I do need
to Braaktice. Maybe Jerry, we could get you.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
You're talking to the wrong people, mate. You need to
talk to someone from the spar pools.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Well in terms of something some kind of contraption to
get me out of the.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Spark training regime, to just bring that out the spar
time down.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
A little bit.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
I think that's all I'm missing in the aulciousness night, Like,
if I get out of that spar.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
You need to get out quicker. But but to do that,
you've got to be You've got to think that the
wall was coming to you. Before you get out of
the spar. You were probably relaxing and the spa, probably
with an erection, let's be honest. And so when you
got out of the spa you were sort of you know,
half cocked and a little bit slow.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Well, I had to tuck things into the belt and
then you know, lunch for it.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Imagine and all of a sudden you got something poking
out that.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Actually there's a little nugget for the podcast listeners there there.
Maybe next maybe this year at the Black Class, we'll
run a bit of you're in the spars here, you know,
you're not mania. You might be commentating. Is it announced
or if I just let something I don't know pretty sure?
Then maybe if I run a bit of a sock
down the front of the pants in just in case
if I have to lunge out of the spar again,
that there's no questions about, you know, or any issues
(24:47):
around the size of the package.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I saw. I saw where you were operating down that pee.
There's no need to from the country. There's no need
to run or something. There's no need to run.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I'm not worried about. I don't mind you springing out
of the hot bring sparkle on the sideline with a
half mongrel. I'd just like you to bring the time down,
you know, and if you need to, if you need
to come to fall, you know, then so bad. But
I just need you to just shorten that distance up
a little bit. And you know, we're having an open,
honest conversation here, Mash. That's always been the knock on
you slow out of the spars what they say, is
(25:18):
there anything.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
That will knock an erection down quicker other than possibly
your grandparents walking in on you then having to take
a catch down on the ground when you've got a
half mongrel.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
That's a great question.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I think it'll knock it so quickly.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
I'm trying to find the team talk that Gulane had
with us in the sheds after this game, because if
you haven't heard it, it is something else.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Hey, I need to go because I need to go.
Where's really desperately? Okay, by the way, you so you
wrap things up, because I'm about actually about to wean myself.
I'll give you the cliff notes.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Lane just turned to the guy next to him, who
was a prize when I listening to the sec so
fuck you, and that was basically that.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
What are you gonna say for yourselves? I gotta forgive
n two catchers, three maybe four eleven catchers.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
I'll make it so fuckingthing for you, Broakes, say your
mother fucking you.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Fucking hopeless, that was you? And I fuck what how.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Many fucking caches did you chop fucking here? I'm mag
it for you, fucking Luke, not one fucking game, and run,
not fucking run.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Then he slams the door as Hamish Marshall just walks
past and locks and going, what the folks has happened
in there?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah? Wow?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
We shout out to the guy he called a funk
with who was he? He won the chance to come
and play for the ace?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
That was his prize?
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Gelane screaming forward in his face.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
All right boys, all right there, okay
Welcome along to the unnamed podcast Thursday the seventh of
November twenty twenty four, one of my favorites. Yeah, what
the seventh seventh November? Yeah, November.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, everything's you know what like the you guy folks?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yeah, you're what's that horse race? They're all out of
the way.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
And then yeah, and then just before the Christmas parties
start yesterday on the agenda podcast available, We're all good
podcasts are sold. G Lane asked me, when's an appropriate
date to stick it into neutral?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Now? The problem there is he's my manager.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, a sports podcast ostensibly, I don't know, it's the sports.
We describe it as a sports adjacent podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I think that's a good, good description. Yeah, sports adjacent.
So yeah, we okay, that's that's complicated. Well when you've
got your manager asking yeah, I was like, this is entrapment. Yeah,
good point, sir, So what did you what did you say?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'd sort of try to take his lead on it.
I was like me, Lane, I'm spreading through the finish line,
you know, man.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
For you now, but what about you? What are you
when you're sort of the thinking of checking it in neutral? Yeah?
Good call, just lie, he said, December, he said, December.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
First, I said, I'm probably pushing the I'm probably pushing
the clutch.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
In a couple of weeks out from December first, I
think it's good to change down, you know, I think
it's it's not just put it in neutral. I think
you've got to change down. G Lane has never put
a neutral in his life. You know, he's he's the
kind of guy that he gets he goes first, second, third, fourth, fifth,
and he just he's he flows it in fifth. Well,
I would even just his vibe. He's a floor it
(01:38):
in fifth guy.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I would even describe it as almost flooring it in
third to where he's redlining at the hole up against
the limitter. Well, at least when you're flooring in third
that I would say.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
The thing with him and flooring in the fifth is
you just use a lot of gas and you don't
go that much faster, do you know what I mean?
You've plant your foot and the gas just floods into
the into the motor, but you don't really because you
haven't got the revs going you actually, I don't go anywhere.
So ge Lane's always got the foot on the floor
using a heap of gas but oftentimes it takes a
long time to actually, you know, accelerate up to the
(02:08):
speed that you want to get to.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
So what happens when g Lane puts it into reverse,
like slams it really hard into reverse? What sort of
circumstances lead up to that happening.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Ge Lane in reverse? When has ever gone in reverse?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I feel like I don't think of it, feel like
quite often, for instance, after the radio, would I feel
like when he came into the building approximately three in
the morning and my little Kip on the couch and
him going and reverse, was him actually collapsing onto the
kitchen floor and in the radio?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah? Again, I mean that's interesting. I wouldn't say that
he ever got into reverse. Then I think that that
was possibly neutral slash forth. But but you find that
he would have got straight back up again and away
he goes from that position. I don't know. I never
known Glane to reverse. He goes into car parks, frontwayst Yes,
(03:01):
he went back into it.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I would say that he would have been It's like
he was in neutral with a brick on the accelerator,
you know, so the car.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah go nowhere, but going nowhere? Yeah, Yeah, it's a good,
good analogy for his life. Actually, just flooring it and
going nowhere is the title of his book, Flooring It
and Going Nowhere. What would the title of your book? Bed?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
You have?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
You have?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You put much thought into that. Slow and Steady Wins
the Race. A really exciting book that so many people
would want to read. No, I'd like a cricketing part
of some kind, like you know, balls out, two league stumps. Yeah,
two league stumps. I'll be happy with that. Yeah, you
also be let through. Let that one through to the keeper.
(03:46):
Let it through to the keeper.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Left that one through the keep because you just always
just leaving.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You've got to let a ball. You've got to know
where you're off stumpers, and you've got to let it go.
Every good batsman knows.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
That sneck him out. Actually know, maybe caught in bold
might be yours, because you know.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
What, I don't think I've ever been caught in bold.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Really, it's the worst feeling.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I've never I've never been caught in bold. I've been
bold a lot, I've never been caught in bold. Anyone
else ever been caught in bold?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Yeah? A couple of times. Yeah, I tend to drive
on the app spoon it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
You'll sps timing and drive on the up. So I
missed those and I get bald. Yeah, yes, that's w
league before. I remember once I shouldered arms to swing
and how did that go? I got out? Yeah, Kevin
Jeremy Dunn who was the first living captain at the time.
(04:37):
It was a it was a club game, and he
didn't want to find me because he's a good friend,
and he just went, I just shut shaking his head
and he went, that's absolutely plumb slowly put his finger up.
Do you know what? I think?
Speaker 5 (04:50):
It's actually not okay what you have to do here
in New Zealand when it comes to cricket umpiring, but
the fact that you have to umpire for some of
your best friends and then at least once or twice
in your life having to give them one of them
at ALBW because it's just like a refusable decision, and
it's just I hate it so much. I think I'm
I'm poring your own game of crickett is the worse thing.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I hate it. Yeah, it is hard, it's a hard
thing to do, but I think there's a greater thing
that you have to work towards in those situations and
LBW for me, it's it's clear, it's pretty clear. If
there's a real if there's any doubt, and there's oftentimes
a good reason for there to be some doubt, then
it's not out. Yeah I know. And so if it's out,
(05:32):
it's out. And now you go one hundred percent sure
that it's out. And in that case, you've got to
give someone out. It's it's a tough thing to do,
but it's not right. What it does is if you
don't give that person out. Of my experience, it's generally
people who don't know the rules who actually struggle with it,
you know, who don't actually know the LBW rule. But
if you don't give that out, what happens after that?
(05:54):
Generally you get reprisals going on. You'll get other people
that when they then come to one, they decided that
they're not going to give it out, and you get
the next behind that are clearly out, and then the
game just falls to bits completely.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
The last game of competitive cricket I played, I was
filling in for a mate's team and the guy the
Batsman hit it and it got lodged behind his pad
between his knee and his pad and the keeper ran
around and pulled it out and then appealed, well, there
was one umpire from our team, one umpire from their team.
But then about fifteen dudes from the sides of who
were watching the game ran onto the pitch with their
(06:27):
phones and they googled the rules and blah blah blah.
And I was thinking, I was on the fielding team.
I was like, is this how we want to win
this game of cricket? They were, they were It was
their mates who were running on saying, oh, it's actually
technically out, and then the other team I was technically
not out. No, no, no, Well that just googled like
whatever rules, you can google anything and confirm you Yeah,
you're Specially.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I feel like that's I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but
I would always say that's that's not out. Also, it's
not in the.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Spirit of did ball. Yeah, it's dead ball. It's not
in the spirit of the game. Also, like, is that
how you want to win? I know, like if we
won that game, we go back into the pavilion like yes, boys,
good work.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, I'd feel disgusting. I had a situation where I
was umpiring on Saturday. Actually kids cricket under thirteens and
one of the kids did a man cad on, which
is you know where you run out the non strike
or as you're running into bowl. How old are they thirteen?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
I'd look straight at the parents, by the way, they
need to have a good heart, look at themselves. I've
got a kid going around me and kidding people.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Well, but I was umpiring and the kid was out
men care and I and they and they the kids
were like, it's out, and I said, yeah, technically speaking,
but let's not do man kids. You know, it's not
in the spirit of the increase. And then they're like,
but it's out, and I said, as I said, it's
(07:48):
not in the spread of the game. Let's just give
them a warning and let's move on with the game.
And there were some kids that were like pretty hard
pushing it to be out, and I said, I'm the
umpire here, yeah, and very calmly, and I said, I'm
the umpire here. And if you want to warn someone,
you know, because as a batsman you can't do that.
You can't know it's not good to do that. As
(08:09):
a batsman there needs to be repercussions for it. But
as a bowler and a person who played a bit
of cricket, but you know, never to a high standard,
but a bit of cricket. I would never. I would
never man kid anyone, and I wouldn't want a man kit,
and I never I've never threatened to do it. I've
never done it and then gone like taking the balls off,
run through taking the balls off, and then gone, that's
a warning. I would if someone was taking a head start,
(08:35):
I'd run through the crease. Yeah, but I would never
take the bails off or even shape to take the
balls off. You say, look, you've because when you run
through the crease that the non striker knows that they've
made a mistake. At that point.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
It's such an easy fix though, because you know, as
a bowler from the limited amount of bowling that I did,
but I was down the non struggers in quite a
lot as you just at some point the battler just says,
go to the batsman and the umpire like, hey mate,
come on, can we just yeah, you're cheating a little
bit here, tighten that up and happy days. And then
if a man kid comes along, then fucking deal with that.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Then I'm okay with the man cat after a warning.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Same Actually, weirdly.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
If you give them a brushback, you run through your
crazy tenrouds, like, look, mate, I don't mind you're backing up,
but you're halfway down the pitch before I'm even at
the stumps. Then if they're doing it again, yeah, I'm
okay with just a.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, I think in that situation. Otherwise, what do you
do at some point there has to be some repercussions
otherwise because otherwise, yeah, yeah, I agree, But yeah, it's
hard explaining to thirteen year olds that this is just
not really a way you want to get anyone out,
because they're still trying to get someone out and trying
as hard as they can to get someone out. What
they don't realize is that it doesn't matter. But how
(09:47):
do you tell someone that it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Cricket's also a tough game for this because there's just
a lot of gray area and a lot of these rules,
And we went on a lot about it being a
gentleman's game, and of course it's not really, but at
the same time it kind of is. So it's quite
weird teaching people. How do you teach a kid about
things being half out? Yeah, it's the same thing with
the w W win. It pictures in line during when
(10:09):
you take it upstairs for if you know it and
you go upstairs and if the impact is with it,
the umpires cool part of the.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, it's like, yes, it was going to have the workouts,
but he's not out.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
I think that that's the toughest part about cricket, and
the same with the man ketting situation, same with Wappam
with Johnny Bisto and all that with England. Is there
both sides to each argument, which is strange that a
sport can be played such a high level with that
going on.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Oh, this was great about the sport. There's a whole
lot of gray in it. Yeah, it's it's always been.
I love those little bits of cricket because that's where
you really find out about someone.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, right, I can see why people hate it, but
the same I like it as well.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
It's like learning English.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'd say, if you didn't speak English, you learn English
before except I have to see. But then there's all these exceptions.
Sometimes this would not.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
That much game. It's just you're right English. But I
reckon that thing that they've done with alreally going deep
into this book. The three listeners left with the thing
they're doing with League, like you know, going back and
reviews and stuff over over the bunker. I know that
it's frustrating, but like, was it really like.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I would say the bunker does need to go, but
I would say that ninety Like for the most part,
League is adjudicated on vibe. If you dropped the ball
and went straight down, that's still considered a knock on.
Even if it backwards. The viber is you're holding it.
You fucking would dropped other guys ball, I know exactly. Yeah,
And I think that I like, I liked it like that,
(11:40):
you know, I like that.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I like that part of it. And forward passes are
a bit bit like that because live when you and rugby,
you can just tell a forward past. It just feels
it feels forward. There's something about it. It just you
just know that it's not quite right. That's the rhythm
of it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
The thing that I find about the bunker, because I'm
probably more of a Warriors fan than a Rugby League fan,
I think it'd be fair to say, and I find
that if there's a Bunker decision that goes against the Warriors,
then I am like, fuck the bunker, why are you
going back so far? This is really stupid. But if
it goes in the Warriors favor, I'm like, you go
all the way back. You check that mistake from one
hundred meters away because I beat you, and there we go.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
It is going back miles and miles, Like how far
do you want to go? Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
It tells you because they score a try and then
you're like, oh wait, but six phases also because like
only at the top level do they have the bunker,
but it even really club ground around the country, they
don't have a bunker. They just got a couple of
touches who you know, sons are playing in the game world,
and it all evens out.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I know this is that's and that's totally true. And
some people have more like than other people. Yeah good, Yeah,
definitely some people have more like than other people.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
But that's life.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Got the same message in football at the moment, it's
driven me absolutely nuts. I've got the VAI that essentially
is just second referee to the game, so you've got
a referee out in the field and then everything is
so Also the v I can contact the reff mid
game and go, hey, mate, look, we're just going to
show you something that happened, you know, five minutes to go.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
On the stream.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
We've been checking it out, so could you just pause
the game, come and never look at And then the
referee is then been told him is he to come
check this out? So he's already thinking, fuck, I'm probably
going to have to lean to the side of the
var that you know that recommended me to have a
look at this. It's probably going to And then you
slow it down and it's like, funk. Now it looks
like every down, yeah, and you're just dealing with this.
And then it's the same thing like people will score
a goal and then you have to wait five minutes
(13:27):
to check whether or not it was on or off site,
and it's like this guy has just celebrated it, then
he's not, and then he has and fans fans are
sitting there in the stadium having a ship time. It's
a disaster what we're doing with just in terms of
all sport.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, there's another weird thing that's happening to And I
know that people listening to this six people left will
agree if they've seen it. But in kids cricket now
and all kids, cricket you have, you're scored by an app.
So there's an app that the score is used crik
nore HQ HQ or you used to pick Cricket HQ
(13:59):
and I can't remember which one it is. It's either
player HQ or Cricket h Q.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
It was just coming in as I was finishing up
my career.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Oh my god, it sucks and it never works, and
it was always trying to tell you that the person
who's on strikes not on strike, so that the game
is now being controlled by people with this app on
the sideline. So two parents who are sitting there, one
will work, one at works, and one doesn't, so the
(14:25):
game constantly has to stop. It's so annoying.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Whoever, I'm sorry mate, whoever actually drives me nuts, whoever
invented the cricket score book. It's fine. It's the fucking
second best thing with the wheel, so good, and it
works so clearly because.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
You follow along and if the play keeps going and
you muck it up as a scorer, you just GISs
and you put down a number.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
I don't get why we're stepping away from this thing.
It really doesn't make sense to.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Go back to the good old days of having just
some autistic bloke on the sideline with the scorebook.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Fine, same go everywhere. Scoring was never a problem in
the game. The scoring bit was annoying for but some
people quite like doing it. You can talk and score
at the same time. You get quite good at it
once you score a bit, but you cannot talk and
do the player hq app at the same time. It
is absolutely impossible, So for anybody doing it, no parent
(15:16):
wants to do it. Every parent hates doing it. And
the other thing is the game has the rhythm of
the game. Rhythm of a cricket game is a crucial thing.
When you're the bowling team, you set the rhythm of
the game. You can either bowl your overs quickly, you
can bowl them slowly, but ultimately it starts with the bowler.
You decide the rhythm of the game. That fucking app
should not be deciding the rhythm of it. Currently, that
(15:37):
app is deciding the rhythm of the game. It's so
bloody annoying, and the kids have to stand around sometimes
five minutes and they're just sitting there so they wait
and it ruins it just it's so annoying. One of it.
I hate it, and it's because some parents want to
know some fucking stats.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
One of the best memories I've got is around a
cricket school book. It was I was playing a game
against Amberly at of all places down there in North Canterbury.
We were up there for a country game, and I
bet it quite well. I was opening the Bedding Classic
hard and fast out of the gates. I had about
forty off twenty and then gave up, look it away
and goring a quarter as I always did. Sorry, Gordon Ketty,
(16:15):
I know you drove meny a mile just to see
me get caught in the boundary. But I then was out,
and I was quite kind of disappointed because I thought
I was going to kick on him and back quite well.
I was feeling good and I was fucking fuming, and
I went into this. I went in and say, you
know what, I found it to be my happy place scoring.
I always enjoyed scoring. It kind of worked well with
my personality. I enjoyed like the satisfying nature of you know,
(16:37):
writing numbers down and it all looking nice and trains love.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Did you missturbate like four times a day?
Speaker 5 (16:45):
It feels like a separate issue, and I'm happy to
cover that up after the break later on.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
But that's a different people to know.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
It's different.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That was so many unders, you be sorry, and.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
Six pairs of undies for a three day trip.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
We're walking off after getting forty off twenty odd and
I went to go and do the scoring and I
jumped in the car with the other guy from the
other team that was scoring in the car. Yep, so
it was me and this other guy.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Hot boxing a car while he's scoring.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Oh funny you say this. And then after a while
we just got chatting and I was talking to him
about upset I was, and he was like, oh yeah,
and he started coaching me and he was. He started
talking about technique and things like that's just the other
guy in the car, the other score from the other team,
So who the fuck is this guy? Who the fuck
are you? Anyway, we start talking and then he starts
talking about his son and I'm like, oh, yeah, something
sounds like a handy cricketer. Anyway, I've just been sitting
(17:30):
in the car with Shane Bond's dad for the last
four hours scoring a game of cricket and ambly there
and I realized after I'd got out of the car
that it was Shane Bond's dad. And to this day
I think to myself, half I had that four hours again,
would have been fucking punished. But instead he was just
helping me out in my bedding. What a great man
Shaneburn's I did.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
You always find though, when you're betting, like when you
when you're going really well and you felt really good,
you never scored a mini runcke.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, but that was more to do with my own
technical deficiencies.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I felt when you're feeling the best, it is always
like you get a really good looking sixteen. Yeah, you know,
good out.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
A good sixteen is nothing quite like I got a
good six I was so good at getting a good sixteen.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
A good sixteen, and then could have kicked on that's
my day. And then I scratched your way to forty
eight and you go, oh Jesus, better terribly. Next thing,
you know, you you know, that's the day when you
score one hundred is when you're scratching your weight.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
And that's your one score, and that's your one score
for the season. That justifies you betting three. That's kind
of buying a new bet.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
The next season.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, exactly what didn't Kezy and the ACC eleven versus
the du Lux eleven games, didn't he bet through the
T twenty innings right opening.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
And get twenty eight years or something.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yes, he did, and he came off with a bad
in the air and we were like, yeah, okay, very
proud of you. Your run rate was so slow that
you have single handedly lost us to this game.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Great for him. He scored twenty odd my first.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Time not out, first time he'd played cricket, I think
basically since high school. Well, yeah, great, the Keys Show
was amazing. We've lost the game now, Keezy Show, because
we went at two. We went to and over for
twenty overs.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I watched that game, to be fair, I watched that
game on a live stream, and I was laughing out loud,
Like I'm not saying if I was playing, I'd be
any better because I'm rubbish, but I was. I was
laughing out loud at some of the things that were
going on. It was genuinely fund the slowness the pace
(19:32):
of that game, like how slow everything was in between
the overs, people just dawdling around the place. You don't
even normally watch something like that on TV and the Catchers,
eleven dropped catchers. Not a single catch was taken fifteen.
It was fifteen And the worst part is I took
one of them. You took a catch.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
We don't keep on the dropped to catches, not in
when you're keeping you haven't dropped it.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Rubbish.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
I don't think I can think of a time of
drop catching game.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
What I thought, we didn't make it.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
He really took.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
You do have good hands each you, mish. I saw
you under a couple of chaingers. You do have good hands. Well,
we know he took a stumping you and I took
a stump. That's right, Sorry, I took everyone dropped one
hands man, the notorious pants man, Joel Harrison, his hands
like feet. It was just him, It was he. It
was Lane dropped one. Yeah, Lane. Lane sort of pretended
(20:22):
that he didn't want to get around underneath one and
then but he accidentally found himself underneath the catch. You know,
you clearly didn't want to for a man that's.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
So aggressive, Why is he such a pussy under a highble?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
He used to have good hands.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
And now something's happened.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Small hands, small hands.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So I think once the once the reactions go just
a fraction. Then the small hands start coming in. But
Joel Harrison's got no excuses. He's got shovels for mates.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You know he does. He's got big ye know. Ju
Laine had nothing wrong with his hands. I'm playing his
quick to good good hands.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
The pantsman was too kind of rugby league focus. He
was trying to take it on his chest, was getting
the front knee up and it was causing him all
kinds of trouble.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
He's one of those that ran real fast and then
stopped and then ran again, and then back and then backwards,
and then it's like, no, you've misjudged that man. I
I overran one.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I was down at bloody fine league and then one
was coming towards and I just sprinted as hard as
I could.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Dove.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I haven't played on a pitch that nice who at
bay Oval and I actually slid past the ball that
went behind me and.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Then over the bound There's nothing worse than a running
in attacking it, because I got big chain of coming
at you. You're in boundary running in attacking it, and
then it goes over your head. But it doesn't go
for six. It goes for two. Bounces for four. That's
that's bad.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
I just remember with the one catch, I can think
of me dropping and these allegations that might have dropped short.
And that was the one out of the spa. And
that's why I'm still generally about a black leash infamous
catch where I leaped out of the spar keysy and
I kind of, you know, went flying after it. I
took a lunging dive forward. Unfortunately the ball just dropped short.
But that's the closest thing I've got to drop.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I think you misjudged it. You needed to get yourself
into a bit of position. I mean, there's no point
in lunging at the last second. You have plenty of
time out there on the boundary. Mate, I was in
a fucking spark pall. Yeah, but you had plenty of
time once you actually once you actually got out. I
think you watch flight down the ground. You need to
get out of the sparkle quicker'n mesh from the Meat
(22:18):
and Jerry breakfast on right now, I've got to see
it getting in the getting in the name of the
show and there.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Wait for the replay boys. Tell me this didn't drop short,
Jerry drop short?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
We have a game on our hands. There's a meeting
going on. But you should have got out of the
spark clicker.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Look at the fucking dive, Jerry.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
You needed to get out of the spark quicker, and
then you wouldn't have dropped short. You would have been
a meter further forward.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
This is from a man that thinks fucking fielding and
slips as a mother's meeting. Like I've had to be
the keeper for you before in the slaps, and you're
one of those people that forgets that. You know, as
a slipsman, you've actually got Judy's Now.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I dropped that. I dropped that absolute and slap. Do
you remember that?
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Isn't it funny?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Marshal?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Always remember the things they dropped. There was three or
four years ago straight.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I watched it. I saw it off the bat as
twine in the year. I thought as he went forward,
I thought, this is a great opportunity. This might he
might neck this and it might come right down my
throat that straw. I saw it all the way off
the bat and in and out.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Who was the bowler? Do you remember who the bowler was?
Ha muh Marshall, Oh, he was the bowler?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Have you done anything to work on you out of
the spar speed. No, No, it's probably a bit longer
than you'd like it to be.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
At the stage I have had a chat to I
think it was Andy Ellis who was heading that who
hit that shot. Yeah, and then I've also had a
chat to Nathan McCallum. I'm not sure if those boys
are locked in this year yet, but they have said
that if they do participate in this year's Black Class
that we maybe we should take a look at setting
something up again in that area. But I do need
to Braaktice. Maybe Jerry, we could get you.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
You're talking to the wrong people, mate. You need to
talk to someone from the spar pools.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Well in terms of something some kind of contraption to
get me out of the.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Spark training regime, to just bring that out the spar
time down.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
A little bit.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
I think that's all I'm missing in the aulciousness night, Like,
if I get out of that spar.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
You need to get out quicker. But but to do that,
you've got to be You've got to think that the
wall was coming to you. Before you get out of
the spar. You were probably relaxing and the spa, probably
with an erection, let's be honest. And so when you
got out of the spa you were sort of you know,
half cocked and a little bit slow.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Well, I had to tuck things into the belt and
then you know, lunch for it.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Imagine and all of a sudden you got something poking
out that.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Actually there's a little nugget for the podcast listeners there there.
Maybe next maybe this year at the Black Class, we'll
run a bit of you're in the spars here, you know,
you're not mania. You might be commentating. Is it announced
or if I just let something I don't know pretty sure?
Then maybe if I run a bit of a sock
down the front of the pants in just in case
if I have to lunge out of the spar again,
that there's no questions about, you know, or any issues
(24:47):
around the size of the package.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I saw. I saw where you were operating down that pee.
There's no need to from the country. There's no need
to run or something. There's no need to run.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I'm not worried about. I don't mind you springing out
of the hot bring sparkle on the sideline with a
half mongrel. I'd just like you to bring the time down,
you know, and if you need to, if you need
to come to fall, you know, then so bad. But
I just need you to just shorten that distance up
a little bit. And you know, we're having an open,
honest conversation here, Mash. That's always been the knock on
you slow out of the spars what they say, is
(25:18):
there anything.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
That will knock an erection down quicker other than possibly
your grandparents walking in on you then having to take
a catch down on the ground when you've got a
half mongrel.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
That's a great question.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I think it'll knock it so quickly.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
I'm trying to find the team talk that Gulane had
with us in the sheds after this game, because if
you haven't heard it, it is something else.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Hey, I need to go because I need to go.
Where's really desperately? Okay, by the way, you so you
wrap things up, because I'm about actually about to wean myself.
I'll give you the cliff notes.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Lane just turned to the guy next to him, who
was a prize when I listening to the sec so
fuck you, and that was basically that.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
What are you gonna say for yourselves? I gotta forgive
n two catchers, three maybe four eleven catchers.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
I'll make it so fuckingthing for you, Broakes, say your
mother fucking you.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Fucking hopeless, that was you? And I fuck what how.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Many fucking caches did you chop fucking here? I'm mag
it for you, fucking Luke, not one fucking game, and run,
not fucking run.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Then he slams the door as Hamish Marshall just walks
past and locks and going, what the folks has happened
in there?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah? Wow?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
We shout out to the guy he called a funk
with who was he? He won the chance to come
and play for the ace?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
That was his prize?
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Gelane screaming forward in his face.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
All right boys, all right there, okay
