SECOND TEST REVIEW: ‘Stung by a bit of the criticism’ Gilly breaks down how Aussies turned it around in Adelaide · The Follow-On

• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to another episode of Fox Crickets Podcast one.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I'm coming to you from Adelaide and I'm delighted to
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: be joined by brilliant great Adam Gilchrist, who has bought
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the coverage on Fox Cricket and KO Sports for the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: last couple of days in Adelaide. And what an eventful
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: couple of days it was. Thanks for joining us.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Adam, Oh my pleasure, mate. Yeah, it was lively, wasn't it?
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: All done and dusted pretty quickly.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Very rapid. But I'm going to get into a couple
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of way do you matters first before we get down
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to the nitty gritty. I think I'll just start by
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: following up on the tail end of last week's podcast
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: with Michael Vaughan. We've discussed all things paddle. Now what
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I want to know, because I know you're on the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: court a lot. Who's a better player you or Vaughn
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: when it comes to uh to.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Paddle takes the title there. I mean, he plays every day,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: so he should be decent by this stage. I don't
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: know what as he does in his life. Actually it's
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: pretty much paddle and commentate for us on Fox Crickets.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: He's got a good touch. Good touch. He just moves
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you around the court nicely and then he knows he
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: knows how to put your way. It's good fun, it's
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: a good game.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: One of the things I've been enjoying in the last
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks Perth and how adelade is he get
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the occasional front of the crew outgo for a wander
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: along the river, the beautiful Swan River in Perth. The
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: River Torrens here which is magnificent, separates Adelaide Oval from
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the central business district. But they made the point that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you went racing past them on foot, so you clearly
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: got them a little bit in terms of your endurance
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and agility. Is that true?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: On the first morning, I felt like I needed to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: run more than a walk, so I went. I set
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: off a bit later than there. I ended up running
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: past them and they were waddling along in their little
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: little walking groups. So I just went past them. I
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: cracked it up a little bit. You've got to do that.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: You've got to if you're run and past someone that
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: you know, you sort of got to lift the chest
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: up and stride out a little bit harder and quickest up.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: You create the perception gotny that that's the way, that's
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: how fast and running on the whole run. But yeah,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I then joined them for the rest of the rest
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: of the test in the walking groups. Good good fun,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: good exercise clearly and good chat. It was a good chat,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: very interesting topics of discussion that we get to.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I was going to say it just one last
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: one on the lightest sort of side of things. But
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you know, each every team that you're in, there's always
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a character. It's always some banter, et cetera. Just extend
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to the to the broadcast crew where you have to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: have that bit of bit of banter because having had
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the fortune to duck in at different stages, you see
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that there's a lot going on in an actual office
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and it's a fairly high stressful so the thing and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you always want to make sure you get it right.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: So there's that banter or that that little bit of
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: back and forth between the team. You know, does that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: make things easier to make it make for a bit
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of team.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like any team you need, you need your
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: different personalities and we've got that. I think Kerry o'keef
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: can absolutely take the leaders start as being the entertainer
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: David Warner in a recent inclusion that's he's creating quite
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: a few interesting discussion topics with the content that he brings.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: But there's always always a bit of taking the mickey
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: going on and how he's always at front and center
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: of it, or Mark will probably he he can be
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: funny without him even intending to be funny or trying
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to be funny. So yeah, plenty plenty on and Vaughn
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: is a scurrels type, so yeah, it's good fun and
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: great Davis, you go back on deck. Each was missed
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: out on the on the Perth Test. You're just a
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: bit delayed getting out here. So it feels like the
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: teams can compleat now we got everyone on deck and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: the broadcast is rolling along nicely, which is easy to
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: do when the entertaining cricket's being played well.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: It probably brings me to the first one. Having a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: good chat to Kerry last night for Fox Sports talking Points,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and one of the talking points was the day night
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: tests and Adelaide and it is a magnificent look. It's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it's such a beautiful ground Adelaide Oval and I suppose
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: on the tram down each morning just listening to some
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: fans they're a bit perplexed by the fact that it's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: going to Brisbane next year. I suppose more from a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: more from a well a win lost point of view,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Should we be giving up that advantage with the Ashes
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: coming around? I've given Australia is unbeaten at Adelaide Oval
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in day night in the pinball cricket, but did have
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that shock loss to the West Endies earlier this year
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: in Brisbane. Are we given the old old dart, the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: old rival a league up by not playing an Adelaide
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: next year?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I guess statistically it looks like a fortress and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: other teams haven't been able to adapt to the conditions,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, it probably is an advantage that administrators
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: have maybe not taken into account on. I'm not sure
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: how it all works and whether that I don't know
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: whether the team get are so like the leadership group
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: of the current team, whether they're considered in the decision making.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: But it's a remarkable test. It's so much fun, the atmosphere,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the way the city embraces it. I don't think anyone
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: embraces their Test match as well as Adelaide does. And
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: that's right across everywhere of the played test create it's
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: just as you say, the trams walking down, run a
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: mall out at dinner, whatever the case may be, or
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: more so in the mornings at breakfast because of the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: day and I fixture, everyone's a buzz and it's a
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: great atmosphere. So I'm sure Brisbane will create a another
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: hostile environment for the Englishman next year. But it's an
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: impeccable record in Adelaide.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: When we left Perth, there was a lot of questions
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: about clearly the Australians after that performance, the two hundred
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and ninety five run performance. But I remember how to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: chat to you the day prior and you made the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: point that you were pretty strong on this that if
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Australia could survive the initial onslaught from Jasper Boomera, you
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: saw enough there to think there can be a way
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to make some runs that it is possible. I think
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: clearly Travis Head was exceptional in Perth, but Mitch marsh
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and Alex Caerry also got among the runs. It almost
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: as though it panned out Lavashane and McSweeney on the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Friday night he was so gritty, is what you sort
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of spotted in Perth. Come to fruition to an extent
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: in Adelaide and as a result, that's part of the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: reason of perhaps a blueprint that we can look for
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: going forward for the rest of the border. Gaviscar Trophy.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think coming into the series that the uncertainty
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: for India was what the support app for Boomra is like.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: And Mohammed Siraj Hasha Rana did a really good job
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: in Perth, they just just weren't quite up to that
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: same level in Adelaide. I know Siraj ended up with
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: four wickets and he cannot fault his aggression. Obviously it
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: flared up a bit, but his intent. So yeah, I
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: think that still is the glaringly obvious part of that
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: discussion is that Boomra is at a certain level and
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the rest of them aren't quite there, and Australia identified that.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I thought that. I mean, all the headline was about
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Travis head but the effort of Martins Flabershane and Nathan
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: McSweeney in tough conditions on Night one, that's what laid
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the foundation for Australia to be able to launch. So
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of credit to them.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: What did you like about the way they went about
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: it was Kerry again, somebody to chatching miss today basically
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: said he just refused to give up his wick at Martiste.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: We know he'd been struggling sort of clearly, you know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: one p fifty I think in the last nineteen innings
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: or so. I was watching him in the nets on
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the Thursday and we're a couple of nicks late in
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the piece. But it was an extraordinary hot day. But
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: he did look like he had that intent back.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, even just in his defense. Simple things. It's
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: pretty specific, but simple things when you defend, if you're
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: sort of immediately looking to size up whether there's a
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: single on offer or not, it's I might be wrong,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: but in perfect CNB was just so focused on being
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: rock solid in defense that you lose the intent in
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: that action and you might then miss an opportunity to
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: pinch a quick single and get yourself off strike and
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: not get bogged down. So everything about he did was
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: really positive and looked looked really like it had the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: right intent. And yeah, he's a determined young man and
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: he's been as frustrated as anyone about his lack of results,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: so I'm sure it felt good. He would have been
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: extremely disappointed to give up his wicket the way he
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: did in the end in what turned out to be
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: a reasonably soft manner. But the fact that he spent
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: so much time out the crease and started to accumulate
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: runs and had that really important partnership with McSweeney that
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I think has set Marnus back on the right track.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Now it's his job to try and replicate that over
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and over.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Again. Disrefriended, checked the pendulum of pressure, so it tends
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to swing when a couple make runs. Steve Smith must
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: have been very disappointed to get out down caught down
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the league side. I'm sure he's exceptionally hungry for some
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: runners at the Gabba, but he this is grammar. He's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: played well up before and he did make the ninety
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: one not out unbeaten against the West Sydney's earlier this year.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Probably unlucky enough to carry the bat in the Australian
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: winn't given it was such a tight sort of test,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: sort of grant he can make some runs and the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: other thing is just Usmond and Nathan Bean. I know
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: it was only a nineteen run chase, but being able
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to sort of see it through yesterday in that first session,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: late in the first session. It must be a nice
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: thing to walk off the ground now and you've got
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: those runs, even though it's only sort of like a
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: small chase, you're there at the end. Does that sort
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of boost some confidence again?
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I think the nice feeler than walking off by yourself
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: having been dismissed. It was those horrible scenarios, everything to
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: lose nothing in the game. But I think Nathan mcsweeny
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: hit a square cut that tied the scores, I think,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: and I reckon of all the delivery he's faced, of
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: which there's not many in his short test career, that
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: probably been his most special men Perhaps it just he
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: has extended the arms, open the shoulders and just belted it.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: It was a pretty ranked delivery, but he absolutely creamed it.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: And there was about thirty thousand people in yesterday. So
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: for him to have that feeling and that that appreciation
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: of a crowd, that'll help fuel him going forward. There's
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: no doubt. I bet he's so eager to get out
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: in the middle again and try to replicate that feeling,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: and he'll be well supported up at the Gabba because
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: that is his home, his true home state and I
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: think that they'll having discarded him or said he's surplus
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: to requirements, all of a sudden he'll be a Queenslander again.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: So he's playing up there and yeah, that was all
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: round to a perfect game. Really save Steve Smith. He'll
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: be frustrated with that, but he'll keep working hard. And
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: not every player and every team fires all at once.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: So the fact that Marcus has now stepped up, that
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: creates opportunity in the next game for Mitch Marshall or
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Steve Smith who missed out in the last game.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Mark Waugh talks a lot about SIB spielding and you've
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: clearly had a position alongside Samith's standing players in your time.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Just one for later in the series, a little mileson
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: coming up for Steve Smith. What makes him such a
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: good subspielder.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I think he stays low, so his technique is really good.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: He gets himself in a really nice position so that
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: you know, just by very subtle little movements and staying
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: low and keeping at a certain height gets the eye line right.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: He does remind me a lot of Mark Wall in
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the way that he caught it second slip and just
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: really soft, soft hands, really relaxed but I think it's
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: mainly the body position and the body height. You know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: you look at replayers and Steve Smith hands are down
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: really really low, and he's just in really good position
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: and he's just got outstanding reflexes. But I just love
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the way the ball sounds going into his hand, or
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: you know, if you do watch them warm up and
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: do practice, you can just it's just a deep, soft sound.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: So he's naturally gifted. But don't underst about how much
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: they work at it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Again, back to that trend that I was on, and
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: you know, when we were running down before play on
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: day two, it's a bit of chat about people wanted
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to see Nathan Mix twenty the adoptive local boy sort
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: of seek around, but it was all about going to
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: see the man at the moment in Adelaide, Travis Heady.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: He's clearly a local local hero here, eighth Man of
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the Match, which is quite incredible when you think he's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: only played fifty one tests. But Pat Cummins impressed. Last
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: night we was talking about the way bats and the
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: way you can take it away. He said, it's not
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: like it's necessarily a new thing, and he raised you
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: as the comparison as someone who could take the game
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: away from the opposition at sort of five six to seven,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and you know, as a left hander, do you see
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: that sort of similarity between yourself or was it hard
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: to talk about yourself in that matter? And what do
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: you like about Trevis? What have you seen with him?
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Well? I guess it's just that if that's his eighth
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: man of the match I gather he's got one every
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: time he scored one hundred because being his eighth ton.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: So that there in itself shows you just how much
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: of an impact he has. It. It's okay to get
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: the hundred, but how effective was it in setting up
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: a victory for your team? Mitchell Starr could very easily
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: have claim Man the match on is there in that
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: game particularly he set the tempo right from the very
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: first ball. But yeah, I think Travis Innings did swing
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the game, you know, too much in Australia's advantage. So
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: that's the sort of impact. That's what you hope to do.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: You hope to contribute significantly to team victories and it's
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: just great fun to watch. It had been a little
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: bit of a barren spell for him in Test match cricket,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: not to the point of being concerned that he's going
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: to be left out, but a lot of that was
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: covered up through white ball dynamics. He's a great all
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: format player. But I think with Travis said, that's just
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: and the Australian hierarchy, you know this and appreciate this.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: You're just going to have to ride the highs and
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: the lows with him, and when the highs are high,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: they have impact and win test matches. So that's you
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: know which side of the bargain you want to sit
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: on in that negotiation.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: There was a bit of controversy as we've touched on it.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: The well Sarres has been touched on widely. We haven't
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: touched on it about Saraj Sharma rot Chalma in press
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: last night he spoke about how he thinks he brings
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: his best when he's actually fired up and motivated. But
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I suppose your counterpoint is, does he bring his best
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: when he's fired up and motivated? Is it possible that
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: he could get a little distracted and you could see
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: him a little more wayward when he's that engaged in
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: such a fis he encounter how do you sort of
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: assess that with Saraj just in terms of the impact
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: of you know, he's bowling and what he can do.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's a bowler that likes to be
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: in the contest and psychologically get himself into a place
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: where he thinks he's in a bit of a dog fight,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: a bit of a scrap with the opposition player. He
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: carried that sort of role and mantle in Perth and
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: did it brilliantly without going anywhere near crossing any line
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: or getting himself under the attention of the match referee.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I think what really centered over the edge. Again, it
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: wasn't rageous what happened. Let's be honest, it's not. It's
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: not the best image, but it's not the worst. I
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: think the fact that he dropped Travis's head on seventy
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: six and probably every run after that, he knew that
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: that was the game slipping away from them. So to
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: then get Travis out on one hundred and forty, I mean,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Sir Arge would know that that Travis had won that battle.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: So that was just all I think frustration coming out
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: more than anything. And Travis said he's disappointed with his
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: own reaction, But I think it's an emotional game and
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: the temperatures up I don't really see too much about
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: any of it. They've copped it a slap from the
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: match referee, I think, but everyone I'll move on.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: With someone who was probably less tested. And Josh Hazerwood
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: had a quick hit after play last sight and I
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: think most outlets will. We have some of his words
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: later on today and he's going to have a bowl
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: in the nets today. But he said he did have
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: a joke. He said that Nathan Lyon came across to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: him and he said, maybe I might as well leaning
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: your shoes. I only bother the one over and Josh said,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: hang on, good more than you actually had a bowl
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: on Saturday and actually a bowl on Thursday. My point
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: in that, in terms of getting to the fact, I
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: think they only bolt eighty overs thesis through the two winnings.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: It's finishing so quickly, it's quite a lot. Gives extensive
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: turned around to Brisbane, but just with the next three
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: tests to come, a lightloaded, clearly advantageous. Mitch Mars only
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: had the bowl to four over, so he wasn't necessarily
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: stressed with some doubts. But what does it mean for
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the rest of the summer when you have for the bowlers.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: When you've got that sort of light load and you
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: have stark bowling like you did, you have Packhummans back
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to his best. That looked like in that second innings
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: he was five for and Scott bowlands the reserve. Have
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: you ever seen is he the most unlucky bowler in
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the world. If Josh Haes would bounces back given, I
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: think you removed Coolie Gil aswell and Charma four good
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: scalps at your five wickets, and you might make away
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the next time around.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the nature of the beast. So I would
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: expect if Hazelwood's fit, they'll go back to Hazelwood, particularly
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: at the Gabba. I think that's conditions that will suit him.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, either one, either way you go, you're going
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: to get. You know exactly what you to get, and
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: that's consistency and a batting order that as an opposing
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: batting order that'll be under threat. So yeah, timing is
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: unfortunate for Scotty, But I just love the way he
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: just steps up and it's like you're plugging in a
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: board machine that's got a setting on and it just
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: cranks up again to the identical setting. So and I
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: love the way the crowd embraced him and broadcasters and
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: he's just a fascinating story. He's such a humble guy
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: but just just going about his day at work and
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: he can electrify our nation and fifty thou people in
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: a grandstand. But as far as the workload, clearly that
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: works in an Australia's favor. But also the game moved
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: so quickly, India didn't exactly have to bowl a mountain
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: of overs either. And you know, looking at the two games,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Australia has bowled more overs, but it's been a nice
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: spread out now with that extended break between the first
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: and second, and now an extra few days gives them
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: near enough to a week to be ready to go.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: So that's just going to mean the intensity of battle
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: is going to be high quality and continue deeper into
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: the series. By the time we get to Sydney, you know,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: the bowlers could still well be feeling feeling reasonably not fresh,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: but certainly not running to the ground, So that augurs
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: well for the series.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Michael said, to be prior to the adlaid test, that
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: gives surprise that the Aussis didn't bump the Indians a
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: bit more in Perth. It was pretty notable yesterday that
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the aggression seemed to be back in terms of the
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: attack and Pat was you know, he unleashed a bit.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I think I like the line from Mitchell Stark unleash
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the handbreak, Let the handbreak go a little bit in
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: that first sities. What did you see from him now the.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Perth Cummins he was You could see just through his
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: celebration that there was a more you know, every wicket
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: that was taken. He was more aggressive in his celebration,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: not in a lose control extent, but you could just
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: see that clearly they've been stung by a bit of
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: the criticism around after their performance and they internally would
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: have been so disappointed with the way they played in Perth.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: So it showed you what it means to them and
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: that they knew that they were back at the level
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: that they want to play their cricket. So he was outstanding.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: He looked like that, you know, if there needed to
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: be a bit of agreed and oil change after Perth
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: and the tune up, he was purring by the end
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: of it. So that was terrific to watch. And they
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: were just a unit that, you know, the three bowlers,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Nathan Lyne only the went over and Mitch four. Other
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: than that those the big three start Borron comers were
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: just hunting as a pack and bould as a unit.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: So that was really really fun to watch.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Well, just to finish off, Adam and we had a
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: chat about a month or so ago for the feature
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: that we'll run on Fox sports dot com dot Au
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and also a video on Chao Sports about the great tests.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: We've been doing a series rolling about each time around
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: and going back to twenty twenty one in Brisbane, Australia
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: was basically unbeatable in Brisbane prior to that twenty twenty
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: one series against India where the Indians turned it around.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: From Adelaide, what's happened at Brisbane where we've lost that
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: little bit of edge and what can we expect there now?
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: What do we expecting next weekend?
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I think I don't think anything's happened. Opposition teams have
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: played well, maybe the pitch hasn't quite been as spicy,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: trying to think back to the Indian victory. Yeah that
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I mean they had a bunch of newcomers come in
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: without any fear and who knew what opportunity they had
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: for them if they if they sort of played conservatively,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: so they came out and really attacked and and so
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: to the West indiesh Shama Joseph, you know a newcomer
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: to test Creet. He didn't know any history and didn't
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: have any scars of yesteryear on him. So this Australian
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: team is a team that generally the opposition if they're
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: going to beat them, the opposition have to play an
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: extremely high level and play to their best, so that
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: that's a sign of respect towards a good team. Australian
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: create team is a good team. They had a slip
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: up in per they've rectified that and I think that
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: extra edge and determination will be there again to try
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: and quieten down any issue around the Gabba and their
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: results in Brisbane, I think they'll want to build that
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: back up again, so I expect their level of competition
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: will be at the same height.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Well, look, thanks so much for your insights as always, Adam,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I really really appreciate it. It's great for the following listeners.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: But also hope that you get a couple of days
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: back home with the family before you head up to Brisbane.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: It's a benefit of a three day test that does
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: give a bit more of a break. But thanks so
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: much for joining us as all us.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Thanas you mate. See you in Brisbane.
