- 0:00Speaker 1: Let's Talk Sport with Adrian Baric.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Welcome, mate. We're back into it.
- 0:05Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a big week. Good morning. Hey, Lise. Hey, Rusty.
- 0:08Speaker 1: It's a big week for Aussie cricket because starting tomorrow,
- 0:11Speaker 1: Australia's South Africa is the big one in Cape Town.
- 0:14Speaker 2: They have to redeem themselves after that last shamozzle.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Three test series tied at one all, but we're back
- 0:20Speaker 1: at the scene of Sandpaper Gate. from eight years ago.
- 0:24Speaker 1: So that's why everyone's watching it.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Crowd participation, I see, coming.
- 0:29Speaker 1: There'll be people bringing in sandpaper, you know, waving it around.
- 0:32Speaker 1: There's journalists at the local Bunnings just waiting for them
- 0:35Speaker 1: to come in.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Doors stop them.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. I said, we're going to be ready for you.
- 0:40Speaker 1: A couple of players have written books. Usman and Warner
- 0:44Speaker 1: are releasing their books this week. So what are they
- 0:47Speaker 1: going to say?
- 0:47Speaker 2: Well, yeah, well.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Yeah, so what will the reaction of the fans be?
- 0:51Speaker 1: It's at Newlands, which is a magnificent, you know, there's
- 0:53Speaker 1: that tabletop mountain in the background. It's such a great ground.
- 0:56Speaker 1: When you walk out there, it's like, I mean, we're
- 0:58Speaker 1: used to nature in Western Australia. We're used to amazing things,
- 1:02Speaker 1: you know, the bungle bungles and all that. But this
- 1:04Speaker 1: is one of them, you walk out and you go, whoa.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Can't see the bungle bungles from the wacker though.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Can you? Well, that's right. But no need to run
- 1:13Speaker 1: down our grounds, mate.
- 1:14Speaker 2: No, no, I'm not. The WAC is iconic. I love it.
- 1:17Speaker 2: I love it.
- 1:18Speaker 1: You can see the Darling Range. You can see Harrison Island.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Harrison Island.
- 1:23Speaker 2: There's some reclaimed land, you know, where the golf course
- 1:27Speaker 2: used to be.
- 1:28Speaker 1: So it's the first time we've played there since the
- 1:30Speaker 1: infamous 2018 day. So there's a lot of emotional baggage
- 1:34Speaker 1: going on. Only one Aussie's still playing that was involved,
- 1:38Speaker 1: Steve Smith. So... He'll be walking back into the exact
- 1:41Speaker 1: same dressing room that he sat in when his captaincy
- 1:43Speaker 1: career just went down the toilet. So local TV broadcasters,
- 1:49Speaker 1: Super Sport, the network whose high zoom cameras caught us
- 1:53Speaker 1: in 2018, they're promoting our cameras will be sharp for
- 1:57Speaker 1: this rematch series. The broadcast crew will actively search for
- 2:01Speaker 1: any unusual ball management techniques. Keeping both teams under the microscope. Oh,
- 2:06Speaker 1: feared income.
- 2:08Speaker 2: There we are. There's the new cricket judiciary. Super sport.
- 2:11Speaker 1: And let's talk footy, though. Two things I wanted to mention.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Gather Round this year. They just announced the draw for
- 2:18Speaker 1: Gather Round. And the Dockers will get a chance to
- 2:21Speaker 1: extract some revenge for last season's finals loss to Hawthorne.
- 2:26Speaker 1: You know that horrible game at Optus? Yeah. They go there,
- 2:29Speaker 1: and that's the first time they'll play Hawthorne. At the
- 2:32Speaker 1: Adelaide Oval Saturday night.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Do you think it'll heal the wound?
- 2:35Speaker 1: Probably not. Well, they got to the grand final in
- 2:38Speaker 1: the end, I suppose. But it's just going to be amazing.
- 2:42Speaker 1: And I think Collingwood plays Sydney on this Friday night.
- 2:45Speaker 1: So book your tickets if you're going to gather around.
- 2:48Speaker 1: So it's all in Adelaide as usual? Yeah.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Where are they playing? I was just going to say
- 2:53Speaker 2: the play out of the Barossa.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Eagles are playing at Norwood Oval
- 2:56Speaker 1: against Richmond. Shouldn't laugh about that.
- 2:59Speaker 2: That's a good apple.
- 3:00Speaker 1: It's like a cigar. It's terrible. It's thin. Anyway, that's
- 3:05Speaker 1: what happens when you're down the bottom. No wine for you. Chardonnay.
- 3:11Speaker 1: What's the best wine out at Barossa? Do we know?
- 3:14Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Red.
- 3:15Speaker 2: There's plenty to choose from.
- 3:17Speaker 1: SSP or whatever it's called.
- 3:19Speaker 2: SSP. Oh, Barry, you are quite the wine connoisseur, aren't you?
- 3:25Speaker 1: You see my cellar is full of.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Don't take him to a tasting, whatever you're doing. full
- 3:28Speaker 2: of books.
- 3:30Speaker 1: So the Eagles, too, I wanted to mention, all their
- 3:32Speaker 1: young guns, led by Harley Reid and Willem Duersma, have
- 3:35Speaker 1: flown to Las Vegas. And what happens in Las Vegas?
- 3:40Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Stays in Las Vegas.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Used to. Didn't once.
- 3:46Speaker 1: It's not like the old trips. Oh, okay, good.
- 3:48Speaker 2: I was just going to say.
- 3:49Speaker 1: This is... They're going to the UFC fighting center to train.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Oh, really?
- 3:55Speaker 1: Not impressed? No. I get it.
- 3:59Speaker 2: What is that supposed to inspire them for? Won't that
- 4:01Speaker 2: get them reported?
- 4:03Speaker 1: No, good for tackling and wrestling and that sort of thing.
- 4:07Speaker 1: So eight of them got, all the eight young guns
- 4:09Speaker 1: at the club have gone over there for a couple
- 4:11Speaker 1: of weeks. Good luck to them, and probably keep Harley
- 4:15Speaker 1: at the club for a couple of years. And I
- 4:17Speaker 1: wanted to mention Alexander Volkanovski. Now, a lot of people...
- 4:21Speaker 1: He's an Aussie. He had another great UFC win. He's
- 4:24Speaker 1: probably our greatest ever UFC fighter. People don't take UFC seriously,
- 4:28Speaker 1: but they should. He is one of Australia's greatest sports people.
- 4:31Speaker 2: It's real, Lisa. Don't look like it's real. This is
- 4:35Speaker 2: not WWE.
- 4:36Speaker 1: This is the real thing. I know. That's... And I
- 4:39Speaker 1: know the viciousness and all that sort of stuff.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Yes. Is it in the cage? Is that the one
- 4:44Speaker 2: in the cage? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 4:45Speaker 1: It's just basically street fighting, isn't it, with no light?
- 4:48Speaker 1: It's a brawl. There's rules and stuff. Are there? Yeah. Anyway, Volker,
- 4:55Speaker 1: the Volker, is one of the greats.
- 4:57Speaker 2: I can't look at it.
- 4:57Speaker 1: He's up with Bradman. No, he's not.
- 4:59Speaker 2: He's not, no.
- 5:01Speaker 1: And horse racing season, if it has a season.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Well, it's spring carnival, isn't it? Is that what they
- 5:07Speaker 2: call it?
- 5:07Speaker 1: Yeah. Spring racing? It's not everyone's exact cup of tea,
- 5:11Speaker 1: but tomorrow week is obviously the Melbourne Gup. The Gup
- 5:13Speaker 1: is on. So that's just around the corner. And Lisa's
- 5:17Speaker 1: spotted at the Northern Races.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Did you take that fascinator that you showed me on Friday?
- 5:24Speaker 1: Did you?
- 5:25Speaker 2: Fancy ladies with fascinators. I'm not a fascinator kind of guy.
- 5:29Speaker 1: And Northern is not really a fascinator.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Left it on the bus.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Oh, no, there were some lovely fashions on the field. Dusty,
- 5:34Speaker 1: a bit dusty, a bit rustic. Quite a few tattoos
- 5:37Speaker 1: as well. The same at the Cox Plate on the
- 5:43Speaker 1: weekend on Saturday, one of Australia's greatest races. And give
- 5:46Speaker 1: a listen to this. We're going to play some audio
- 5:48Speaker 1: of the finish. West Aussie horse, West Aussie owner Bob Peters,
- 5:52Speaker 1: West Aussie hoop. I don't know where that hoop came from.
- 5:56Speaker 1: That means jockey. This is unbelievable. This was one of
- 5:59Speaker 1: the great West Australian racing moments.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Clean sweep for the West Aussies. Cosmic Crusader right down
- 6:04Speaker 2: the outside. It's Birdman. Cosmic Crusader trying to pick it up.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Cosmic Crusader goes to the front.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Cosmic Crusader. It was written in the stars. Wins the
- 6:14Speaker 2: Cox Plate. From in second place, Birdman, Aliata third. Cosmic Crusader. Sorry,
- 6:21Speaker 2: couldn't help myself. How did he get into the commentary box?
- 6:25Speaker 1: That was Willie Pike. At the end, he saluted too.
- 6:29Speaker 1: So normally you try to be a bit understated, not salute.
- 6:32Speaker 1: He couldn't help himself. He got up in the stirrups
- 6:34Speaker 1: and just waved his arm. Mate, it was a fantastic vision.
- 6:37Speaker 1: You would have seen it on the front page of
- 6:38Speaker 1: the West or the back page of the West. And
- 6:40Speaker 1: Ernie Manning in the West said, Well done. Normally at
- 6:55Speaker 1: Mooning Valley, but it's at Flemington Crusade.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Well done to.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Redeveloping.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Oh, yes.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Yes. So good luck to Pikey.
- 7:01Speaker 2: Well done to Cosmic Crusader and Connections, as they call them.
- 7:04Speaker 1: That's right. The Connections, they always look a bit shabby,
- 7:07Speaker 1: the Connections. Don't you reckon? Don't you reckon, Lisa, when
- 7:10Speaker 1: they roll them out? The what?
- 7:11Speaker 2: The Connections. Oh, come on. You've been to the horse races.
- 7:14Speaker 1: The owners. Oh, right.
- 7:15Speaker 2: There's always a huge horse. It's like a syndicate.
- 7:19Speaker 1: I saw Juddy owned a horse as well, as he
- 7:21Speaker 1: would bloody be. Look, Rugby League World Cup, England crushed
- 7:24Speaker 1: France at Perth. HBF's Park Saturday was a big day.
- 7:28Speaker 1: The mighty Gillaroos then annihilated the English Lionesses.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't put up a fight at all.
- 7:33Speaker 1: No, the Tissier Goodness Gillaroos, I absolutely love them. Last night,
- 7:37Speaker 1: Australia won a beauty over Fiji, and the Kangaroos locked
- 7:40Speaker 1: away a semi-final spot.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Oh, Fifi has the... That's the notes, isn't it? That's Fifi.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Fifi Bob.
- 7:46Speaker 2: What a beauty over Fifi.
- 7:48Speaker 1: 36-22. Spell check, people.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Spell check.
- 7:51Speaker 1: After a big scare in Brisbane. The Fiji team, the
- 7:54Speaker 1: Fifi team, the Fiji team was coached by a teammate
- 7:57Speaker 1: of mine. Oh, really? From the Western Reds. Yeah, Mick Potter.
- 7:59Speaker 1: So that was good. Okay. But then there was a game,
- 8:01Speaker 1: the Cook Islands. Population 1,500. Oh, 15,000. They had a
- 8:06Speaker 1: big go at New Zealand, but they ended up losing 82-16.
- 8:10Speaker 1: The Cook Islands is playing in the Rugby League World Cup.
- 8:14Speaker 1: And I Googled them. So there's 15,000 people across a
- 8:17Speaker 1: heap of islands. They're situated basically halfway between New Zealand
- 8:20Speaker 1: and Hawaii. So real rugby league territory. Sort of where the,
- 8:25Speaker 1: you know, it was where the SS Minnow crashed.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Oh, right.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Okay. Have you heard about that?
- 8:30Speaker 2: Yeah. Some bloke called Gilligan.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Yes. But there is a rule.
- 8:35Speaker 2: And lovey how.
- 8:37Speaker 1: There's a rule that no building or resort is allowed
- 8:40Speaker 1: to be taller than a coconut tree.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Oh, I love that rule. It can be quite high.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Not exactly high rise.
- 8:51Speaker 2: No, they're definitely not high rise. They're not those islands
- 8:54Speaker 2: that are sinking, are they? Because then they might need
- 8:58Speaker 2: to start building higher then.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Anyway, it's interesting, the Rugby League World Cup. So Australia's
- 9:02Speaker 1: in the semis. That's the main bit.
- 9:03Speaker 2: That's what they're there for. We shall reconvene on Wednesday, Barrow.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 9:07Speaker 2: We will see you then.
- 9:08Speaker 1: All the best to you guys.
