- 0:00This is thoughts from the metal cabin, where only one opinion
- 0:04matters. And it's not yours.
- 0:07Hi, there and welcome to today's episode of The Casual man cutter
- 0:10here on thoughts, from the metal cabin today.
- 0:13We're reporting on days, three and four from the dubbo Carnival
- 0:17of the youth championships under 15 years team.
- 0:21Now, the wasn't a podcast episode yesterday and generally,
- 0:24the saying goes, no news is good news.
- 0:27That's not the case from yesterday, which is why There
- 0:30was no podcast episode, but we'll touch lightly on
- 0:33yesterday's results, as well as the result today which could be
- 0:37seen to be more positive. So if you're of a mind to spend
- 0:40another five or six minutes, listening to me, ramble on about
- 0:42rubbish, please feel free to wait until the end of the
- 0:46opening music and listen on to thoughts from the metal Cavern
- 0:51right here from lovely downtown dubbo.
- 1:40Welcome discussion. Pretty cool.
- 1:47And thanks for listening in to maybe hear your son or
- 1:52grandson's name being brought up and made famous on this podcast
- 1:56that is listen to generally by about five people.
- 1:59So, as I said, yesterday's game was day three of the carnival
- 2:04for the greater Southern Marlins, and they went out to
- 2:07lovely narrow mind. The home of Glenn McGrath to
- 2:09take on the core Marie, team from albury-wodonga, and I were
- 2:14high hopes for the team to win and perhaps still press for a
- 2:18top two spot, finish in this tournament and everything was
- 2:22going really well from the time that Skipper Lucas K, won the
- 2:26toss and elected to bat. And then things went a little
- 2:31bit awry. When the team lost three wickets
- 2:35in the first day over. And for the addition of just
- 2:39four runs and out of the top five, batsman, there was a total
- 2:43of 11 runs scored so probably not the start.
- 2:46The team was looking for and you would have to say at 5427.
- 2:51Things were looking particularly dire.
- 2:55We had some really good batting though, from that point on in
- 2:57the middle to late order. Noah McWilliams and Tobias
- 3:01island with the first two who put together a decent
- 3:04partnership. To get the paintings back on the
- 3:07road. Noah was eventually dismissed
- 3:09for 11 and Tobias for 15 and then Jacob can start new and
- 3:14Jackson Taylor the hard-hitting all-rounders I guess is the best
- 3:18way to put it. Put together another terrific
- 3:21Partnership of 50 runs before. Jacob was eventually dismissed
- 3:25for 25. Unfortunately, the last two
- 3:28wickets took a total of about two balls to come out and
- 3:33Jackson was left on 21, not out. And the tomb was dismissed for
- 3:37110 runs off just 34.2 overs. Now, in the good old days of
- 3:44this team pretty much, we are part of the philosophy.
- 3:48The team was whatever one team gets.
- 3:50We could keep them under with our bowling and fielding.
- 3:53And so there was plenty of energy, I guess to go forward
- 3:57and try and do that. And by the first drinks break,
- 4:01the team had shown that they were right in this as they had
- 4:04them 5465 at the first drinks break.
- 4:07And they done terrifically. Well, Jack Allen and Jacob
- 4:12Constantin. It, as always open the bowling
- 4:14and Jacob managed to get two quick wickets.
- 4:17And then from the other end, after that initial Fire by the
- 4:20burst, we had Casey Barton, and been Frederick's.
- 4:23Come on and together they bowled 10 overs and took three wickets
- 4:27and conceded. Just 29 runs in that middle
- 4:29section. And it was a terrific style of
- 4:32bowling from both of them. Casey was fast and furious, and
- 4:36if you could seem to get his tape measure to Mark out the
- 4:40right, Right? Run up for himself perhaps.
- 4:43Then he wouldn't have mold those three?
- 4:44No balls. Maybe it's the tape measure,
- 4:46though, or maybe it's the marking, I don't know.
- 4:48But there was three Nobles case you finished with 24 13 from
- 4:52five hours, which is terrific and many Frederick's, came back
- 4:55and bought another great spill five overs, 1416.
- 4:59So, the team was right in the game.
- 5:01Unfortunately, the drinks break things, didn't quite go so well,
- 5:06and the core memory bats was decided that they were going to
- 5:09push it along a bit. And eventually they passed the
- 5:13total made by the Marlins to win by 5 wickets and they still had
- 5:1724 hours in hand. So there are a lot of people who
- 5:21decided that it was their first time to go to narrow mind.
- 5:25And most definitely would be their last.
- 5:36And so on to today's game and all the kids and I think
- 5:39especially the parents were We're grateful that the team had
- 5:43the by in the first of today's, to 20s, which meant a sleepin,
- 5:47and a casual morning without having to worry about too much
- 5:52until those are Russia engagement to get to the ground
- 5:54because they decided to bring the second game forward.
- 5:57So, everyone got to the ground and the game commenced at 11:45,
- 6:02against the highly regarded, but still untested Central West
- 6:09team. Lucas K1.
- 6:12He's seventh toss in a row. Now that would be a record
- 6:17except for the fact that a club level he has lost seven tosses
- 6:21in a row. So 50% is still not great.
- 6:25I guess it's a 50/50 proposition, isn't it?
- 6:29Anyway Lucas tested, the humor of the manager by deciding to
- 6:33bowl first upon winning. The toss came up with plenty of
- 6:37reasons why you should have done it and the manager Basically
- 6:41just said, well, let's just see what the result is before we go
- 6:44any further. The Marlin started off will once
- 6:47again Jack Allen and Jacob could start anew, open the bowling and
- 6:50bold. Therefore overs through complete
- 6:52both. Picking up a wicked before.
- 6:54Lucas K came on and bold his tantalizing off, spin to pick up
- 6:58another Wicket himself, 1416 or for Jack finished with 14 13 or
- 7:02four to finish his carnival on a high and Jacob 1425, or for once
- 7:07again, taking wickets in every game and finishing equal forth
- 7:11on the Bowling tally, for the you championships, another
- 7:14terrific performance by Jake Bob.
- 7:17Then the Destroyers came on and Tobias Island coming from the
- 7:20Northern end with all the fire and Pace.
- 7:22You would imagine picked up three wickets for 11 from his
- 7:25spell and also was involved in a run out with the help of Casey
- 7:29who threw the ball back to him at the ball is in for Tobias to
- 7:32take the bars off and it was the full deliveries of Tobias that
- 7:37got him. His wickets today, it was great
- 7:40to see. It was a good catch by Lucas to
- 7:42get him. His first Wicket lbw, that was
- 7:45absolutely. Plum despite the fact that the
- 7:47batsman complained that he thought the Umpire was putting
- 7:50his hand up to scratch his nose rather than give him out.
- 7:54And then the third week, it was comprehensively bold to finish
- 7:57off the Innings. So, as I said, Tobias finished
- 7:59with 34 11, which is terrific on today's performance.
- 8:04And he bowled really well. Crowd.
- 8:07Favorite though was been Frederick's, who came on at the
- 8:09end and picked up three, four ten, which are his best figures
- 8:13of the week and through. Once again, fantastic bowling of
- 8:16terrific line and length on the off stump line, he had a
- 8:20terrific catch taken by wacky Campion at backward square.
- 8:24That was very, very high and been sorry and wacky had time to
- 8:29eat a sandwich before the ball came down.
- 8:31Not that he did and he called it, well then there's a good
- 8:34catch by now McWilliams behind the stump And then another good
- 8:38catch by Lucas K2. Giving me three wickets 3410
- 8:41today and after all the emotion of a couple of weeks ago, been
- 8:48Frederick's, has had a really terrific week, and he should be
- 8:51very pleased with his performances.
- 8:54So that left the Central West team being dismissed for 90
- 8:57runs, which meant that it was time for the Marlins to go out
- 9:00and score the runs as quickly as possible to enable the team to
- 9:04get back to the hotel or start heading home.
- 9:07Well, they almost did it in the opposite way because three
- 9:09wickets fell very quickly indeed.
- 9:12Unfortunately Eli was dismissed for 12 by us.
- 9:17Technically got a golden duck after facing a wide and then
- 9:20hitting his next ball. Very high in the air to be
- 9:22court. And unfortunately no one would
- 9:24Williams picked up yet another lbw, but then there was a
- 9:28terrific partnership from our two best batters Skipper.
- 9:30Lucas K and Casey Barton put on a partnership of 73 for the
- 9:35fourth Wicket, where they looked in little danger and just kept
- 9:39kicking the runs over to make sure that the Run Red never got
- 9:42too high and eventually it was Lucas, who did get dismissed for
- 9:47Thirty-seven after playing some terrific, cover drives and cut
- 9:51shots, and even a couple of pool shots to finish on 37 or 50
- 9:54deliveries. Casey Barton was not out at the
- 9:58end on 27 or 43. And once again, it was he's
- 10:01driving down the ground. That was the highlight of his
- 10:04Innings and then the finisher Flynn done came out and with 10
- 10:09runs required, he came out with nonchalance and picked up eight,
- 10:13not out of seven. Deliveries to comfortably, give
- 10:16the Marlins a victory by 6 wickets with two overs in hand
- 10:20and a great way to finish the carnival.
- 10:31So getting that we had not much to talk about after yesterday's
- 10:35game, I came to this morning and felt it was just time to talk to
- 10:40three young men who we haven't had a chance to interview during
- 10:42this week and give them their opportunity to become famous to
- 10:47the three people that listen to this podcast.
- 10:50So that's what follows here now. This lovely little in to do with
- 10:54our Lake illawarra Lakers Threesome at the youth
- 10:58championships. I'm sitting here today with the
- 11:02lake illawarra connection, possibly the three greatest
- 11:06players that like a Laura has ever produced and we're about to
- 11:10hear from them now. Opening bat, Noah, Noah
- 11:13McWilliams find find opening batsman, middle-order, batsman,
- 11:18keeper. L extraordinaire.
- 11:22How's your week been? It's been a bit tough.
- 11:26If on the the body, but it is again, getting through it.
- 11:30It's been. Alright.
- 11:30It's been fun as well as a lot of fun.
- 11:33So, a really good eating's against illawarra.
- 11:36Before we came out here, a few starts out here, been
- 11:39disappointing. Not to go on with it.
- 11:40Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, especially in that first
- 11:45game is saying how easy it became to bat after four balls
- 11:51that I faced. Yeah, pretty disappointed.
- 11:54But, you know, it's Cricket. Yeah.
- 11:56It and from a wise man, Bill Peters, you know, there's always
- 12:01next week. So I don't know about wise, man.
- 12:04But anyway, you've had to take on the keeping role as well.
- 12:08And I think everyone agrees that you've just done a terrific job
- 12:12on that. How long you been keeping for
- 12:14in, are you looking to push forward in for that in the
- 12:16future? I started last season so yeah,
- 12:20it hasn't been long but yeah, I've pretty sure that's what I
- 12:25want to do is keep Cuz I yeah it just just in the game a bit more
- 12:30and whatnot. But yeah, I feel like that's
- 12:32what I want to do when I teach excellent.
- 12:36Now we're going to talk to the injury Brothers Lake or a fast
- 12:40bowling Trooper who have come here this week, looking to lead
- 12:43this team to Victory and then decide to injure themselves.
- 12:47So, let's talk to Jackson first Jackson.
- 12:50How's the injury today? It's not bad.
- 12:52Still hurt a little bit, but pushing through Before the
- 12:57injury came bowling well, do you feel there was any improvements
- 13:02you could have made on the first couple of games when you were
- 13:05probably almost right? But not quite pitch it up and
- 13:09hope would have taken a few more wickets.
- 13:12Yeah, I've heard that before. What has been excellent this
- 13:16week and in the previous games has been your batting.
- 13:18This year, you've come in at the end of games and you've been
- 13:20able to do the finisher and and get stuck in and get the runs at
- 13:24the end of your bed. Working on your bedding.
- 13:26Yeah. I've been working at apes are
- 13:28the winner mostly on my power hitting but yeah, it's been
- 13:31good. Well, it has been good.
- 13:34Jacob, we've been here together three years now and we've seen
- 13:38you improve and go along but bowling through injury even to
- 13:42yesterday. I'm interested to know because I
- 13:45when you're sitting there yesterday after buying a five
- 13:48overspill and you basically couldn't move.
- 13:50And then after 10 hours, you demanded to go back on and we're
- 13:54throwing the ball immediately. To me, it felt like you decided
- 13:57that you could still win this game, would that be accurate?
- 14:00I was trying to do my best at the time but still slammed it
- 14:03down a bit short because I'm a bit better but it's hard plans
- 14:06for an injury but you're still being taking wickets with that.
- 14:09Say I mean have you ever felt have you had the bowl through
- 14:14pain to get to that? Yeah, a few times I think every
- 14:17game up here in dubbo except for the first one, I've evolved
- 14:19through injury and trying to do my best.
- 14:21Still a new as well with your batting again.
- 14:24As always at the end is always been Ocular Fred, terman, you've
- 14:26made runs again. Are you still working on that
- 14:29sort of, part of your gun? I've been trying to.
- 14:32I haven't been having a much batting training but I've been
- 14:35put in a bit of work to try and get my technique a bit more
- 14:39better to stay in through the faith Pace Bowlers and stuff and
- 14:43survive the Spinners. All right boys will apart from
- 14:47the fact that you will play for Lake illawarra which now is a
- 14:49sin. Thanks for the week.

- 14:55as well, it's been terrific. And let's hope we see the best
- 14:58out of you coming forward, except when you play are being
