Now there is a simple remedy. Just a fit for all eternity. Hello everybody and welcome back to the cricket unfiltered podcast with men as Ann McGill. Welcome, Stewie. Hi, how are you? Good, you're not sick of me yet because we recorded cricket unfiltered last week and we did three live dream 11 shows. Yeah, dream 11's our new show. The only way you're going to get listened to us is by downloading the dream 11 app from the relevant app store. There's no archival footage at all.

3:02It's just a purely live show. We record seven o'clock on weekdays. That's right. But this week we're doing a Thursday and Saturday. Thursday and Saturday. If you download the app, you'll see whenever we're going live. As Stewie says, it's not archived. Anything stupid we say. I mean, I hate to correct you. I hate to correct you, but it's going to be Wednesday and Saturday. Oh, Wednesday and Saturday. Saturday is right. But look, but as you know, I correct you sort of five or six times show because you spout quite a lot of crap. But Wednesday, seven PM Eastern Saturday, seven PM Eastern. Yeah. And after the seven PM Eastern show, I'm going to be going out. Excellent. My being going with you. And you're going to ask your rejected again. As you can ask questions. So having a lot of fun doing that, as I said, cricket unfiltered remains unchanged. Yeah. We have so much to get into the World T20 semi finals have been locked in Australia. A set to return to a couple of places. They haven't been in a while. That's good.

4:02I was right again about something. So one meal to me in the manners McGeele fight. And you got to tell what you're right about about Molly you being appointed a strange women skipper. You won't write about that She was the best candidate at the time By the way mate. So now you disrespecting another Australian skipper Pat come and safety Molly. It's fine All right, and uh let's start though with some good news before we get into the arguments Let's start to e f e nearly he signed off a while ago Alisa Healey signing off with a bang on Sunday in Australia Smashing 158 of 98 balls the last 58 came off just 19 balls That's you and McGill in the shield territory. She brought up a century of 79 balls This is incredible. She hit 27 boundaries and two sixes to have 120 runs in boundaries total That's pretty cool. That's a huge percentage and when you say signing off you mean signing off from one day in

5:03Exactly. She's got a test match to come. That's right, but you know what a way to finish ODI cricket Yeah, and in her final ODI series against India she went 56 and 158 averaging 71 So she went out on top and and the total that was put together by this Australian team exactly I always used to feel quite comfortable as a bowler if even in a 50 over game I mean, it was going to be hard But if the other team had made 180 I thought we could compete with that We could we can put that together and if we bow well we can win If my team had made 400 you're not beating us. Yeah, it's trailing seven for 409 Yeah, yeah, final game. Yeah, exactly. So at least here these record in one day cricket ends with eight centuries 1950s an average of 37, but she was a player. What was the strike rate? Strike rate of 100.69 see that's where with that's the stuff that we want to look at in one day cricket 50 over cricket she's she's making a run-able and and and that's yeah, it's unbelievable

6:04And she did it in the big games too. Yeah, and no and no surprises in a final game. She Put on a show and you could actually tell the physically she was struggling. She was cramping up quite early So I think it's a sign she's picking the right time to retire She spoke to her uncle E in this morning on the radio and said that during the last WBBL She'd really struggled through that for motivation So I think she's she's got herself up for this one last series against India And she's she's put on a show. Well, don't rule out a ton in the in the test match either Absolutely, I would love to see that So you predicted it and this is where you get a point the Australian women have smashed India in the ODIs. They lead three nil. Yeah, they now lead the multi-format series eight points to four So they can't lose the multi-format series But India could win the test and draw the series Australia were thrown a few curve balls on the eve of the ODI series At least Perry was ruled out of the one day as Kim Garth was ruled out of the rest of the series

7:06Subsequently ruled out for the rest of the series And then the Australian captain in waiting. Yeah, so if you mollen you has been ruled out for the whole series And she is expected to be fit for the upcoming tour of the West Indies But yeah, you never know with an injury So she's going to miss this series and so the issue with that men is is that we're we're going to be Possibly forced to have a caretaker caretaker. Yes, exactly which which uh You know, well, although now Sophie will following this one off test She's the captain of all formats But if she's not fit for the West Indies then that throws things into a little bit of turmoil As I said you before I like people who have dealt with Adversity um and I like people who have fought their way back from an injury to get back the back back in the form But it is it is troubling that that that she's injured again that that's for sure. Yeah, absolutely So Shirley Nietzsche was on the radio and ABC radio and weekend

8:07She was asked this question by an interviewer You know Were there any concerns about Sophie's injury history when appointing her a skipper sure And she said well, we just feel that Sophie is the best candidate. I think so too So if I take that on face value. This is where I disagree I take that on face value But the best candidate has to be in the team and has to be on the field like she's just in the best 11 And this is So so you're you're saying to me that you're wishing that somebody gets an injury. No, no I'm saying you know you're actually hoping and praying not at all so female and you got an injury so that you can be right No, no, no, not at all. I didn't have anything to do with it. That's the way I heard of it No, no, I just think that the signs were there that she struggled with fitness The signs were there that she's struggled her whole life to get back to peak fitness That's that's the bit that you look at don't look at it half empty man. I like you positively I'm just saying the best candidate has to be on the field right You can that be a great leader But if you're not fit and you're not in the best 11 then you're not he's praying

9:10Well, it's so female and you is is not is unable to get back onto the field following this series Then then I'm going for Sutherland for the captain. Okay, because she's won the the blender clerk medal for the last couple of years I think she's the best player in the team when you can do it with bat and ball Because I know that you've got you know all this little crazy little phobia about bowlers being captains so that they can concentrate on what they've got to do By the way, I can concentrate on a number of things when I'm bowling And I probably do But the most important thing if this you know for an all-rounder is that they can make some runs with the bat They could take some runs with the with the ball. It takes pressure off them And she's going to be able to captain very very easily. I think that your favorite your little poster child Gardner Needs to concentrate on what she's doing with the ball at the moment because you know I think there can be some improvements made there Yeah, and I think Sutherland's a great candidate and one thing she has Head of Molinue is she's been in that team. She's been playing not ahead of Molinue mate

10:14I'm listening the reason that Sophie Molinue was selected as captain No, it's because she was the best option. That's it You you are you are nobody in the big scheme of things minutes. Well, you've just got to understand that mate Well, I get about you in your box. Yeah, and that's that well, I think I'm right on this one I'm taking the win for this one A little tiny man in the corner yapping away like a two hour exactly Yeah, good. She's not going to be playing for Australia. So she's not going to be a great actor for the time being for the time being But of course, I would love to see a fit and doing well But I think the concerns were well-founded just on the ODI series just completed Australia won the first by six wickets They won the second by five wickets And they won the third by 185 runs 185 runs. I'm believe it So you mentioned a couple of weeks ago that you thought that India wasn't scared of Australia anymore There's still scared of Australia. Okay. All of their bowlers failed They did not make a dent

11:14Yeah, George of oil also made 65 there 62 so it's evolved made 101 in the second ODI and 62 in the last So and she's herely successor so that that's that's the sort of thing that I'm talking about So you know in terms of succession planning I think the the women's selectors have done a lot better job than the men's selectors have You know, Georgie boy probably should get on the phone and talk to the women's chairman selectors and you know Find out what the tips are there, you know, yeah I guess they both have captains that really play both It's okay mate. No, it's okay. When when I interview the captains. Yeah, you just won't be here. That's all yeah A Beth Munia hell of a series. Yeah, 7631 106 not out She I say it every show, but she's the rock because she's just always seems to be playing second fiddle like you know She makes the hundred while he is going off at the other end Yeah, but you she's so important to that little Trust me. There is nothing wrong with being second fiddle especially with a hundred six night. Well look

12:19You know from personal experience, you know, just playing your career out in the shadows that it works out for you In the end Beth Munia is going to have a great life Yeah, absolutely and a great career in the making able continues a lich field on fire with 80 in the second odi She pounded in deer and straight in made that chase of 252 look relatively easy I with the bowlers Well, here we go. Alana King seven wickets for the series Strike rate of 25.7 economy three point nine best bowling of four for 33 What do you think of Alana King's next spin? So I watched the game on Friday night was good Friday night I watched the middle game of the three tonight. Yeah, and then watch the sunday obviously, but um I I just um I think she's probably the The best spin ball I'm going around at the moment So I love watching her bowl. So she's good ball Is she does bowl beautiful leg spinners Ash and and I might add Um particularly in the Friday night game. There were catches all over the place that went down

13:24Australia didn't play particularly well And got away with a win. That's a good sign for me too. I'd love to see the perfect game being played but when things are slightly imperfect Um It's good to see that you can still get across the line and I think you'll probably find all the spin bowlers on Friday night Had that chances go down. Yeah, absolutely Ash garden a great series with the ball six far six wickets for the series So they were the two leading wicket takers. So this This series concludes the wacker a day night pink ball test of the wacker starts this Friday So that's going to be a really late start on the east coast. You're looking around it. Maybe a four p.m. First ball Yeah, so cricket long into the night, which I know you love you long night. Stewie. So you'll be able to sit back and watch the cricket Because I'm normally I'm normally working with you until 11 o'clock at night. So yeah Interestingly both Alyssa Healy and Mitchell Stark have a highest test score of 99. Yeah, so it'd be nice if

14:26Alyssa could get one up on him and make a ton. I'd like it in just about unfortunately sorry Mitch Yeah, and there was actually a very funny moment So Alyssa Healy bowled in in her last one day international and they were the first balls. She's ever bowled in International cricket unsurprisingly so she bowled two overs and they had footage of Mitch in the commentary box He was commentating for seven and he did not look happy I wasn't your body was unhappy about but I think he was scared that she No, we should get no, no, I think he was probably scared that she'd get injured and wouldn't be able to play the test match Because people forget how you know even bowling slow You know people forget what bowling does to your body bowling isn't it's the most stupid thing ever invented physically The the strains it puts on your body. So I think he was probably just typing she got through to the next next round of the The tournament that too, but they're also super competitive I think he felt if she took a wicket he would never hear the end of it. If she took a wicket She's still 500 behind him. That's right But then the first ball she ball got hit for four and Mitch goes seritol yet. It's not that easy is it

15:32Just before we move on from the women's game Australia renounced our coming tour of the West Indies in the female game and there'll be no Test match which I'm not surprised about because it's very expensive to stage a test match And I'm not sure it will be viable for the West Indies to host Australia in a women's test match So I think it's a prudent decision. I know there's some Constitiation that the women don't get an opportunity to play enough test cricket But I think apart from sort of against England and India It's pretty hard for smaller countries to put it on. I don't think you should expect the smaller countries who's entire program is focused on white More cricket. I don't think you should expect them to play test cricket because the the the the home nation Tends to pay the bills. Exactly. That's very expensive. I don't I don't think that that's a surprise And I don't think it should be expected either. No running a massive loss All right, but that's where the Aussies go straight after this. Hopefully Molin you'll be on the plane So hopefully yeah, yeah, otherwise it'll be more points for me. No points for you

16:36I'm taking them. I'm taking them. Where are you giving them? I'm taking the cheap points. All right. I like cheap points Now let's move on to some news Australia returning to two places they haven't been for a while. Let's start with the real hot one Australia confirmed they returned to South Africa for the first time since sandpaper gate They'll play three Odin one day to nationals and then three tests remind me what you that was No, 2018 The long time to not go to South Africa considering they're one of our main opponents You know, I think there was a tour cancelled Around COVID. Yeah, but This this is going to be a hot tour Brad hadn't on his podcast was saying the South African crowds are brutal And now they're going back with this hanging over their heads and Smith will be in the firing line because Warner if he's there it's going to be in the commentary box and Bankroft ain't going to be on that tour. I'd say I'd say I'd say Warner's going to cop more of a hiding than than Smithy is But Davey might choose not to go. I'm not sure, you know, but that the reality is made that this is one of our major major opposition teams

17:44You know along with England and India And I think at the moment they're playing great cricket as well So they've got some they've got some very very dynamic players in their squad and I and I think that You know, it may well be that you know are bowling attack which is aging You know, you know, you know, perhaps probably got a few more years and a bit stark and hazelwood And bowling that they're they're getting they're getting close This this might be the final test, you know, so you know, I think it's a big deal And they're going early seasons. I mean October. Yeah So that's you know, their conditions are very similar to ours So I would imagine early season we might get some spicy wickets I think that 2014 tour where Australia got bold out for 40 odd was around the same time. Yeah So it is going to be fastball to dominate and then both teams have these great attacks So won't be fun for baddies and and have some really dynamic batsman up the top two, you know Be firing. Yeah, it could be it could be very interesting

18:45And I think it will certainly test Australia's opening batsman. That's for sure Did you ever play in South Africa? No, I toured South Africa two or three times But without playing a test match and just what you heard how brutal were the crowds Look see I didn't really mind the crowd. I don't really mind the crowds. I'm I you know I had to go back to Perth being a Perth boys So I can't see there any worse than the lack of crowds But but the way by the way, I like that parochial sort of stuff. So What you know, when I went back to Perth I kind of liked the idea that people were supporting their team, you know I don't really care what they say to me If you're listening if you're listening to the people on the sideline, you're not concentrating Okay, so you know, I'd say to Brad, you know, what were you doing listening to them? It's possible that you know You know because I know you know, sometimes people report drinks on you and stuff like that I lose my temper, but who cares? I don't care. I mean it doesn't really matter I think you could the argument could be made that Australian crowds are pretty horrible

19:46You know, I know that you know over the years Australian crowds have been warned At certain grounds that if they don't behave themselves the the the test the status of the ground will be stripped from them So I'd say the grounds are probably equal in ferocity around the world That's yeah, I take that absolutely that's that's fact So you know, so I know a couple of grounds in Australia in particular. I won't mention them for you know Risk of alienating them, but but you know a couple of grounds two grounds in particular in Australia We're warned that if the crowd doesn't behave Against certain oppositions then their test status will be stripped. So so It clearly hasn't happened in South Africa because we know about it That's I mean, so I forget the crowds a while in this well in Australia I do actually think we've been overpoliced our crowds in the last 15 or 20 years and Almost now that the Australian crowds just sit on their hands and sort of watch the cricket and Let's have had a gutful and then they might abuse someone from the sideline

20:47But the only thing I about this uh, you know, I've sort of been thinking a lot about 2018 I said it a few years ago, but I do think the sexist treatment of Candice Warner from the South African crowds went way over the line Going in with Sonny Bill William mass to try and taunt Warner is low. That is low behavior It's it's it's targeting his wife, which I think is pretty poor and I think Yeah, they can go pretty low Well, I think it's pretty low talking about it for starters Men as so I think you know, you didn't need to go into details there. I think that's shit You're fucking idiot why he shouldn't go into details about things like this because you're doing exactly the same as the crowd Okay, no, no you are because they were told listen to me now You've raised exactly the same issues. Yeah, you're saying the same thing that they did and that is shit So we're not gonna talk about that anymore if we're gonna talk about issues to do with one particular player Yeah, we can say that they've talked about personal issues relating to that player if you repeat no

21:47No, I'm right mate know they said that's fair. Yeah, it is fair You know what I want you to do right this minute because otherwise this is gonna be a very very short-lived relationship You need to respect players and their families a lot more than you do it I do respect them. That's why. Well, I feel like you did exactly the same as the South Africa. I feel sorry for her being targeted. I didn't make it. I feel sorry. Listen, she's a friend of mine as well. I feel sorry for her. Listen, I feel sorry for you because you're obviously so pigheaded that you do not, because you do not realize that you said exactly the same thing as the South African girl. I didn't bring anything out. Exactly the same. I didn't bring anything out of it. You did. I didn't go into detail. You are a moron. Continue. Next topic. All right, next topic. Fair enough. All right, now moving to the Bangalod Esh to us. And if you cut that out, it's the last time I've ever worked with you. Well, I won't cut it out at all. I'll leave it in. But I just think you're missing... Move on. You're missing what I'm trying to say.

22:48Because I think... Move on. I'm trying to... Move on. Move on. Move on. Move on. Listen, you muppet. When I say move on, I'm not talking. I'm not saying keep talking about something. Yeah, but it's my show. Move on. It's my show as well. I can keep talking. I will keep talking. Don't... Keep talking. No, I want to move on to the Bangalod Esh stuff. Good. All right. So... It's a good blow-up. And they've announced that, Australia announced they're going to Bangalod Esh up to the North for three tests. Right. You look really upset. I am upset with you. Move on. Okay. Well, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Not that. Just why you're upset. You're a joke, mate. Move on. Move on. Move on. Well, you seem very irritable. Yeah, mate. You might jump across the mic in any second. Just what you need. So, Australia are going up north to Bangalod Esh for three... For two test matches. Actually, you know what?
