1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,280 Hi, this is Sharda Agra. Hello, this is Mohammad Assam. 2 00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:06,960 Hi, this is Pradeep Magazine. This is Bhairam Qazi, welcome to 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:35,080 the PCCI podcast. Hello and welcome to another 4 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:41,440 episode of the PCCI podcast. We are recording this on the 5th 5 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,200 of January in some parts of the world, 4th of January in others, 6 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:51,080 and we have a preview lined up on the WPL. 7 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:57,600 This makes us probably the third podcast probably on the Internet 8 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,880 to do this and we are not a news organization. 9 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,640 If we were then we would be probably the third news 10 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,320 organization also to cover it. There is alarmingly low content 11 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:18,080 on the WPL on the Internet and whenever I've searched WPL 12 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:24,520 previews for researching, considering we do research on 13 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:31,400 this podcast, I I found previews of previous year's games. 14 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:38,360 I have found previews of last year's IPL games come up on the 15 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:47,360 news tab in Google and it is just absolutely been crazy that 16 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,680 so much more can be done but very little is being done. 17 00:01:54,240 --> 00:02:00,840 I have with me Richa and Ben. Is that Moin Ali in the 18 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,440 background? Yes, it is. 19 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,080 That was a that was a gift for my business partner. 20 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,520 He he likes mommy. Very cool. 21 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,960 Yeah, nice. That's when he broke this stump. 22 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,680 He's carrying the stump from the Test match. 23 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,800 Yeah. Speaking of, that'll be the top 24 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:21,760 of conversation later. Yeah, that's detour #1 coming 25 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,080 back. Yes, doing well. 26 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,560 Glad to be here. Glad to talk. 27 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,560 WPL I was going to say if it makes you feel better, it maybe 28 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,560 makes you feel worse. MV But yeah, there's, you know, 29 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,120 there's been a couple times in my life I tried to get into, you 30 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,160 know, women's basketball in America. 31 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,440 And there's also just a total lack of the quality. 32 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,560 You know, like I in my mind, I feel like one big women's 33 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,720 basketball blog you could blow up or one big, you know, if you 34 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,120 if you put quality right in mind, WPL you could blow up. 35 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,240 But maybe, maybe that's just living in the niche ball where 36 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,360 we live in. But glad to have have friends 37 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,960 here today who we can we can make our own, our own preview, 38 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,720 our own discourse. So are you saying the Caitlin 39 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,200 Clark Nike ad is not enough? You know what? 40 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,960 She's certainly, she's brought, she's brought a lot of eyeballs, 41 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,560 but I think it's more. That's right. 42 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,800 That's more viral stuff. It's still I need some, you 43 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,600 know, I need those stats, I need the sabermetrics, you know. 44 00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:32,760 Yeah, yeah, that's right. I think. 45 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,600 Yeah, it's been interesting. I think Detroit's been kind of 46 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,840 crazy with football for the last few years. 47 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,880 So that's all that everyone's playing here, so it's hard to 48 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:51,360 miss it. But yeah, I have been forgetting 49 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,760 to watch the Ashes because they're they're they're over. 50 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,680 And I keep forgetting when when they're on, which is very 51 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,080 strange. Like I seem to have lost 52 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,520 interest in that series completely by the last Test, 53 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,320 which really sucks. I don't think that's your fault. 54 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,160 I think that's their fault, yeah. 55 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,320 And it's not just the pitches it's been. 56 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,120 I think we're lacking storylines. 57 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,760 We're lacking all the things other than England catastrophe. 58 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,440 I know the, The thing is when, when they started doing well, 59 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,680 then you know, it's hard to have the catastrophe line as well. 60 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:34,400 And now I'm bored. But yeah, the WPL coverage it, 61 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,760 it hasn't existed. So I set my Cricinfo to not 62 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,280 India and it doesn't even show up as one of the series that I 63 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:46,320 need to follow. There's no, there's almost very 64 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,200 little articles on Cricinfo. Dharatra has done a really good 65 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,600 article about women's cricket coverage overall, which is 66 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,360 really, really very nice. And it kind of exposes the 67 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,600 complete lack of quality coverage for cricket. 68 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,560 So I think he's done a good job in highlighting that. 69 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,520 But yeah, I think with cricket.com shutting down, 70 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,880 there's like no women's IPL coverage as well, because that's 71 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,040 something I used to follow every year around the WPL. 72 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,680 Really sucks. Now MVI have a question for you. 73 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,760 Did you in in India see any additional attention or after? 74 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,600 You know, I would think that with the Indian women winning 75 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,320 the World Cup that that would provide a boost. 76 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,360 If if that's not going to provide a boost, you know what, 77 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,480 what will? But do you think that that's 78 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,560 giving it a boost or anything? I mean, are you seeing some bits 79 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:50,600 of that for the, for the 15 women and, and the coaching 80 00:05:50,600 --> 00:06:00,360 staff, they in the country, they, they are getting brand 81 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,040 deals and BCCI has also announced an increment in the 82 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,040 salaries for domestic games as well. 83 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:15,040 It's still not as much as you would like it to be, but I guess 84 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,040 BCI is in the business of doing tokenism. 85 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,440 So they've done that. Well, now they'll spend more 86 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:28,080 Money Marketing that tokenism over a period of the next one. 1 87 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,120 1/2 years. And pretty much any conversation 88 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,520 about women's cricket cannot start or end without thanking 89 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,080 Jaysha. So thank you, Jaysha. 90 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,280 Yeah, Thank you, Jaysha. Yeah. 91 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,520 Thank you for moving up. The way go ahead He has. 92 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,720 By the way. Just yesterday, he was speaking 93 00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:00,640 at Run for Girl Child Marathon 2 Point O at Surat in Gujarat, he 94 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,680 said. Was he running? 95 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:12,760 India won eight medals. No, God forbid he was speaking 96 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,920 so he said India won eight medals in the previous Olympics, 97 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,640 which is wrong. India won six. 98 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:28,800 And then he said that we need to win 10 in 2036, No, actually 100 99 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,800 in 2026, in 2036. And 10 medals have to come from 100 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,800 Gujarat, a state famous for no sporting history all together. 101 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,680 And then he said, 2, two medals will come from people here right 102 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,480 there. Like I was like, OK. 103 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,960 Was it a crowd of athletes or generic? 104 00:07:52,160 --> 00:08:00,560 I mean, I've like, no idea. You know there's an old saying 105 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,200 if you. Shoot the. 106 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,400 Moon and you miss, maybe you hit the stars, and I think that's 107 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,360 just what Jay's gone for, setting a lofty goal. 108 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,440 I don't. Think. 109 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,840 I'll, I'll, I'll suck up to him. That'll get my Gudra giant women 110 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,760 some more, some more wide balls, some more, you know, rigged good 111 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,560 calls. I'll, I'll suck up to Jay all I 112 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,960 need to. I'm ready to do that. 113 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,600 So first of all, thank you Jay Shah for moving the tournament 114 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,720 up by two months because you know who wants the same 115 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,600 consistent window year after year? 116 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,840 Let's move it up two months to account for the men's T20I World 117 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,840 Cup and the men's IPL. Great idea there. 118 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:47,720 And yeah, so that means the I think the first half of the 119 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,000 tournament is in DY Partil and the second-half is in Vadodara. 120 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,440 So yeah, it's it's a tournament of two halves this time. 121 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,720 The good thing is the first half is DY Partil. 122 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,520 So yeah, maybe it'll. Be dy Partil deserves all the 123 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,680 all the love and with that I think we can start the previews. 124 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:12,600 The first team is the UP Warriors. 125 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:18,240 Yeah, have. Absolutely used the auction to 126 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,320 do things. Yeah, they've they've done 127 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,480 something. So they had a good captain last 128 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,280 year, but they they decided well since we finished last and we're 129 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:34,160 not doing well and we've won like six matches in two years or 130 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,520 something. You know, something ridiculous 131 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,480 like that. Let's overhaul the team. 132 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,760 And they had the biggest person, the auction as well. 133 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,320 I think they had about 14 crores. 134 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,680 They got Meg Lanning as the new captain. 135 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,400 Meg Lanning had a slightly middling season for her last 136 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,320 year. She was, her average was like 34 137 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,840 at 118, which is kind of slow for her, but she's coming in 138 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,520 with a bit of form. Like if you look at her WBBL 139 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,400 numbers, her strike rate's up. Her average is very good. 140 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,480 It's 53. I think that's because of the 141 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,320 century that she had. She also did well in the women's 142 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,840 hundred and the same like she's been solid, right? 143 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,800 She's had like 135 plus strike rate this whole year. 144 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,760 I think the double. To a little bit of a slow start 145 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,360 in the the women's hundred and I as soon as I declared her washed 146 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,520 she she started scoring a lot of runs there. 147 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,280 So I agree with good form. Yeah, so I think she's coming in 148 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,320 with good form. She scored a century in the 149 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,680 WBBL. So I was, I was like, oh, good 150 00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:45,120 stuff from Meg. I'm excited to see what she does 151 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,680 at UP. I am super excited to see Kiran 152 00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:53,120 Navgiri again. Oh my God, she's such a fun 153 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,520 player. And like last year she didn't, 154 00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:59,960 she didn't have a very high average, but boy, did she get 155 00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:04,680 like, did she tonk those things on the ground? 156 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,680 It was fantastic. And she's coming from great 157 00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:09,640 domestic form. So she's scored, I think. 158 00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:13,240 What did she do? Yeah, she kind. 159 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,360 She scored a century, like the fastest women's T20 century and 160 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:23,880 had a strike rate of 235.35, which is just wild. 161 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,880 She just did this in October. So I'm super excited for Kiran. 162 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,640 You know how they've the UP Warriors have also got this new 163 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,080 Gongadhi Trisha. So she was really good in the 164 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,880 under 19 World Cup. She's actually also an opener, 165 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,000 but has been surprisingly really good at bowling. 166 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,880 She bowls these leg breaks and you like her MP for that. 167 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,680 And she took like 3 for 15 in the final in women's under 19 168 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:57,680 final and then also scored 44 of 33 to win. 169 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:04,040 So I'm like, wow, really want to see her and see what what she 170 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,920 does like really solid freaking talent. 171 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,840 So I think that's that's probably the top order. 172 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,000 I think I think Meg Lanning and Kiran of Kiran might open. 173 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,320 That's the hints. Those are the hints we're 174 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,440 seeing. And they've also got Pratika 175 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:24,040 Raval, who's my, my word. She's had a great year with the 176 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,200 ODI format. I don't think she's played much 177 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,640 in the she's. Not going to play, yeah. 178 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,880 Yeah, she's not. Also going to play right? 179 00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:34,800 This is not likely to play, I would say like she's more like 180 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,040 injury backup for Meg or someone who they need to solidify the 181 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,040 innings I don't think. She's injured injury backup. 182 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,640 Correct. Yeah, Yeah. 183 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,400 But you know, this team's around for three years, so I think 184 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,560 they're probably just trying to bank on her hype also a little 185 00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:56,160 bit and see how she does in the T20 format. 186 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,160 So yeah, I think that's that's pretty solid. 187 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,760 They still have her lean. Who's your favorite player, Dave 188 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,080 Yes. So they bought her lean. 189 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,960 Sorry, they bought her from GG. She was thought at UPA Warriors 190 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,440 yes. So they bought her from GG. 191 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:17,360 She's pretty solid, you know, like just all round solid 192 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,240 talent. Nothing, nothing extraordinary. 193 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,600 Gets the runs, gets things done. But they have Phoebe Litchfield, 194 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,040 which I think is, you know, that's the person. 195 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,720 Another former GG. Player yeah, what a phenom and 196 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:40,400 she's done so well at the WBBL. She's coming in red hot form and 197 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,840 has is hitting like a strike rate of 150 in the WBBL, so I 198 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,720 really like her. She didn't do as well in the WBL 199 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,360 last year. Like she wasn't this consistent 200 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,480 with her runs. I think like she, she. 201 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,240 Wasn't in the line up for the the first half or so. 202 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,240 And then Robar wasn't scoring runs. 203 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,120 But she didn't, she didn't really, you know, catch on. 204 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,840 Yeah. But I I, you know, I think she's 205 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:09,960 very important. I'm with you. 206 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,720 Yeah, I would say like their top, their batting order kind of 207 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,440 looks like Kiran, Meg, Phoebe, Parlene. 208 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,560 That's a good top four. That's a good likely top 4I, I 209 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,360 like it. And then you have probably 210 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,360 Deandra at 5 or 6 wherever you want to put her in. 211 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,200 Like she's she was really good last year. 212 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,560 Like she kind of set the WPL on fire and didn't do anything 213 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,800 anywhere else basically. So Deandra is very interesting. 214 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:48,480 She gets she gets wickets and you know, both of these, I mean, 215 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,320 newbie warriors also has a bit of an issue in the fast bowling 216 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,360 department. I think because they have they 217 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,560 have Shika Pande. So they got Shika Pande from 218 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,080 Delhi and she's good at bowling in the middle overs. 219 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,400 Like I think I like Shika kind of holding thing, keeping things 220 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,880 tied. She goes at about 7 and over and 221 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:14,000 does a reasonable job, but with Shikhar, the concern is always 222 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,880 like if she's doing 3 or 4 overs back-to-back, like she kind of 223 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,840 gets tired in the back end, so you don't want her bowling more 224 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,360 than two or three overs. I think that they'll have to 225 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,560 keep an eye on Shikhar Pandey's fitness, but yeah, she's pretty 226 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,480 good. Let's see. 227 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,080 Who else do they have? Yeah, they have the auto board 228 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,440 will give you. Know bowling pace. 229 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,760 Yeah, Darden will be bowling pace, Shikha will probably bowl 230 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,040 to three overs if they have her in the squad and you know, she 231 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,040 can always hit a few shots at the end. 232 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,080 But yeah, I, I think they they do have the issue. 233 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,000 They do have that issue there. The other one is they bought 234 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,200 Charlie not which I, I don't understand, like the whole 235 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,120 tournament, everyone just buys these Australian all rounders 236 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,760 that they think are going to do really well. 237 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,800 I, I didn't say too much with Charlie not, but who knows? 238 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,320 As I say this, she's going to have like a breakout tournament. 239 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:22,200 So but I mean her, she was decent in the 100, but she's 240 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:27,480 terrible in the WBBL and her strike rate's not great. 241 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,640 I'm I'm not sure you're not getting a lot of batting, you're 242 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,240 not getting a lot of bowling. So I am not a huge fan. 243 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,000 They have still kept Shweta Sairawat from last year. 244 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,760 Shweta looked compact, but I don't think she, I mean, she'll 245 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,480 need to work a lot at her game to really show her strength. 246 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,360 But yeah, I think we saw, we saw the make. 247 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,400 We saw that there's someone who has talent. 248 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,120 Like she's definitely someone who can build upon her talent 249 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,720 and do well. But yeah, we'll we'll see. 250 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,200 And then there's of course, the ever they gave her solid 251 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,960 performer, Deepti Sharma. She got she got good wickets 252 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,440 last year. She's a nice, really good 253 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,319 bowler. And nobody looks at her batting 254 00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:18,319 stats anyway because she she does the job when she needs to. 255 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,760 So we we don't look at her batting numbers. 256 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,520 We we know that she can get the job done. 257 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,160 And yeah, I. He was the top top price player 258 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,680 in the in the auction. Yeah, yeah. 259 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,960 Yeah. That was fantastic. 260 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,920 So I think they used right to match with Dipti and they used 261 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,000 right to match with Kiran. Is that right or something like 262 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,600 that? As well as Ecclestone. 263 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,200 Yeah, yeah. So that was that was good. 264 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,840 They've bought Asha, Shobna and. Kranti did an. 265 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,080 Injury recovery, yeah, Asha and Kranti. 266 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,400 So Kranti of course is fantastic, right? 267 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,440 Kranti's had a great year in terms of bowling. 268 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:00,840 She bowled really well for India. 269 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,280 She took a six wicket haul in England earlier this year. 270 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,120 So you know she can bowl in all sorts of conditions. 271 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,160 I'm not concerned about Kranti doing well at all. 272 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,200 Asha is still coming back from injury. 273 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,720 I think she started rehab a couple of months ago so she's 274 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,560 coming back. She's bowling in the Nets and 275 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,600 stuff now, but I don't think that I don't know if she's going 276 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,560 to be ready for prime time the WPL, because it is starting in a 277 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,160 few days. There is there is another player 278 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,880 they got who's Chloe Tryon. So if you followed the Women's 279 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,960 World Cup, Chloe Tryon is a pretty good finisher at the back 280 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,440 end. She's very important knocks for 281 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,160 South Africa. Yeah, Chloe Tryon's really, 282 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,920 really good. I I like the idea, though she 283 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,120 hasn't done as well in the T20 format lately. 284 00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:56,320 She hasn't even played in any leagues around the world, so 285 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,480 it'll be interesting to see how she comes in. 286 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,320 And this is her first WPL. I don't think she's been in the 287 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,400 WPL before this, at least I haven't seen her play. 288 00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:07,000 Let's see. Who else do they have they? 289 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,280 Yeah. So they got Sophie Ecclestone 290 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:14,480 back, which very smart. So I think, I think I looked at 291 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,480 Sophie Ecclestone's numbers last year. 292 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,960 She's got an economy of about 6.87, which is phenomenal. 293 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,200 Like just freaking amazing. She's changed her style of 294 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,960 bowling, so she gets a lot more dot balls in than she used to. 295 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:36,720 So that last WPL was a master class in defensive bowling for 296 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,240 Sophie Eccleston. Like just fantastic. 297 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,240 So her dot ball percentage is very high. 298 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,280 And I think, yeah, I'm going to be super excited to see what she 299 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,440 does in Vadodara at the back end, because that's, that's 300 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,960 going to be a place where we may see a lot more defensive 301 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,160 bowling. Let's see who else. 302 00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:00,440 Ah, so talking about bad coverage UP warriors. 303 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,720 They, they didn't actually buy a high profile wicket keeper. 304 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:08,760 So they have an uncapped player called Shipra Giri. 305 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,680 And this is a player that's very hard to get any information 306 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,320 about cause some websites list her has as a left-handed batter, 307 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,840 others list her as a right-handed batter. 308 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,880 And I'm just like, what does she do? 309 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,280 What? What's her history? 310 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,040 Yeah, just a complete mystery wicket keeper. 311 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,200 Yeah. So I'm sure there's people who 312 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,200 know about her, but since I have no idea how to get in touch with 313 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,880 any of those people, Yeah, I know nothing about her, but we 314 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,080 shall see. I think that's a huge risk to 315 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,280 come up with an uncapped wicket keeper and that's your only 316 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,640 wicket keeper. That is. 317 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,440 That is a huge risk with UP Warriors. 318 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,280 They do have. They did pick up a couple of 319 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,640 other uncapped players. So they picked up Suman Meena, 320 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,720 who is a bowler. I think she's played the senior 321 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,440 women's T20 for Rajasthan and she plays for Central Zone. 322 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,920 She's been decent. I think it would be nice to see 323 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:13,520 if she gets, if WPL exposure gets her into the mainstream. 324 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,280 I'm not sure, but yeah, that's that's interesting. 325 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,120 And they also have Tara Norris who pulled out. 326 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,560 So that's that's a bit of a miss for them because they are that 327 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,520 would have been another fast bowler and that would have 328 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,280 looked like a more complete squad. 329 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,960 I think she's the. I don't think there's any 330 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,520 Associate Nation players left since Tara Norris pulled out, 331 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,800 which is kind of a bummer. Yeah, I didn't see. 332 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,200 The DC woman from last year, Bryce, she was really, really 333 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,600 cute. Yeah, I really like Sarah Bryce, 334 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,960 but yeah, they don't have, they don't have Tara Norris. 335 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,960 They do have a new coach. So they got rid of John Lewis, 336 00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:00,240 which was smart. He had some really strange 337 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,840 things to say, but yes, he did. Some some wonderful quotes. 338 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,000 I really like the team. I think they have power, they 339 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,600 have stability provided Meg Lanning has a good tournament 340 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,560 and they have they have really good spin. 341 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,720 They don't have a lot of pace. I'm not sure they'll need really 342 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:23,800 need really need it, but you know, we'll see. 343 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,400 I I think they have a really good chance. 344 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,880 Yeah, I was with you first that I think I like the batting 345 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,720 better than the bowling. But the more I look at it, I 346 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,920 mean Deepti and Ecclestone, they've had those two for a 347 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,520 while. Yeah. 348 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,160 I guess the the fast bowling with Pandi and and. 349 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,880 And Deandra they're. Going to have to come up big 350 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:48,360 dawn. You kind of know what you're 351 00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:51,840 going to get, you know, some big wickets and some expensive 352 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,280 overs. Yeah. 353 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,920 So we'll see. She's uneven. 354 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:02,440 I think having both Dorton and Shikha Pandey is a little bit of 355 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:03,920 a risk. I wouldn't. 356 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,920 I mean, I I can, you can count on Kranti, you can count on 357 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,600 Eaglestone. Those are 8 good overs. 358 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,600 And yeah. Yeah, I think this is the most 359 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,280 exciting new team though, don't you? 360 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,840 I think it's the one that I'm most excited to see how they 361 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,400 look on the. I'm really worried about their 362 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:28,440 middle order. I I feel like suddenly if they 363 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:34,040 lose like two or three wickets and then you need to do a Bay 364 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,880 job again, I don't see that happening. 365 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,640 I mean, there's only so many miracles. 366 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,040 Dalton will be able to get through. 367 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:48,120 Yeah, the middle order seems a little flimsy. 368 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,680 Yeah, yeah. And also very interesting that 369 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:59,840 they got back deep deep but gave the captaincy to Metal Anning. 370 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,880 You know, they seem to me that the past couple of years like a 371 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,920 team that's not having a lot of fun, like that team that needs a 372 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,440 leader. So how do you feel about, you 373 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,880 know, we talked about her up and down form earlier. 374 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,040 How do you feel about that? I think, I think that it's good 375 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,920 for them to have a serious leader. 376 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:22,880 Yeah. Yeah. 377 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,920 Oh, we almost forgot. We forgot to introduce it. 378 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:33,480 The our how we're going to summarize each team with 379 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,320 analogous food item. Rachel, what do you think? 380 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:47,800 I think UP is like a cheeseburger, which is something 381 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:55,240 you could never get in UP because you know, everything's 382 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,960 there. You have the meat, you have the 383 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,240 bread, you have, you know, whatever veggies, Pickles, 384 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,000 whatever you want to put in. But it still has to be done 385 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,080 well. And it really, you know, if they 386 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,560 have a good leader, if they have someone who's a real chef in 387 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,080 there, you know, I. Like it? 388 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,520 Good job. I like it. 389 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,040 I could see it being soggy. I could see it not turning out 390 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,120 well. I know you get a couple of 391 00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:25,280 people in bad form like Meg and Phoebe and wow, you know? 392 00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:28,400 Yeah, I think, I think that works. 393 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,720 I mean, I'm, I was sold as soon as you said you can never get a 394 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:36,200 cheeseburger in UP. And I was like, yeah, that's 395 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:42,640 right, because you cannot. All right. 396 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:48,640 The next team is the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Royal 397 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,800 Challengers Bengaluru, who've had a great time playing at 398 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:58,160 home, not particularly last season, but now they cannot play 399 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,000 at home for reasons that everybody knows. 400 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:07,640 I think they've assembled a very, very interesting team and 401 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:14,320 I'm very, very excited about watching Smriti Mandhana and 402 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:20,400 Georgia Vol opening the batting followed by a very, very 403 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,120 powerful middle order along with explosive finishers. 404 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:30,720 I think they they do have a problem at #3 but I'm hoping 405 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:38,040 that they go with Gautami Nayak and not the Alan Hemlata because 406 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:46,680 Got Me provides that option of the left-hander and then they 407 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,760 have an explosive middle order at which by the way, they could 408 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,560 also use up top one of them, Grace Harris, Nadine de Clark, 409 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:01,840 Richard Ghosh. I think this is not that 410 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:07,600 completely eliminates the need for Ellie's Berry because she's 411 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,960 absolutely unreplaceable, but I think that they've done a very, 412 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,680 very good job despite the fact that they that they knew in 413 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,440 advance that Alice Perry is not going to be there. 414 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:25,880 I think that's exactly what I got from whatever little videos 415 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:31,680 they they've put out that bowling is actually pretty good. 416 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:38,200 I I thought, I thought they were able to pick up good bowlers in 417 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:43,880 the in the option and they retained Shriyanka Patil. 418 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:49,120 They have the exciting option of playing both Puja Vasilkar and 419 00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:50,520 Arundati Reddy. Nice. 420 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:57,520 I was going to say Arundati Roy but I'm not moving Karthik. 421 00:27:58,360 --> 00:28:04,360 I'm not only Karthik. Yeah, the side note, I mean, 422 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,800 everybody should read Mother Mary Comes to Me. 423 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:13,680 Good book by Arundhati Roy. I was, I was actually surprised 424 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,480 that they didn't go for Asha and they went for Prema. 425 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,520 But I think Prema will will be very, very handy as a leg 426 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,040 spinner. And they can wrap up their line 427 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:31,120 up with Lauren Belle at at #11 and the option of, let's say 428 00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:35,920 playing Radha instead of Puja if Puja is still not completely 429 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,240 fit. And there is a good chance that 430 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:47,520 this team takes a while to figure out their 11, which is a 431 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,160 very dangerous thing to do in any tournament. 432 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:57,440 But if they are able to agree that this XY or Z is the right 433 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,880 position for Grace Harris, Richard Gorsh, Nating Nating the 434 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,760 clerk, I think that is going to serve them very, very well. 435 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:11,640 Very, very excited about seeing Georgia wool bat with the Smitty 436 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,240 Vandana. It is going to be very, very 437 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,000 exciting. It's it's it's it's such a step 438 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,120 up from Danny Ward Smith as well. 439 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,120 Just in terms of total excitement that that all of this 440 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,520 provide. They did also get Lindsay Smith 441 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:36,080 in their in the auction aside of a few others like Pratyusha 442 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,400 Kumar and Sally Sabkare. You. 443 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,760 Don't even mention Lauren Bell. They spent a lot of money on 444 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,000 Yeah, Lauren Bell. I did say that, right, that 445 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,440 that's how the 11 will end with Lauren. 446 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:50,360 Bell. Yeah, that's right. 447 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,360 Yeah. I like Lauren Bell. 448 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,000 I think she's shaped up the bowl well this year. 449 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,080 She looked good in the World Cup. 450 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,040 Yes, she looked really good in the World Cup. 451 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,520 This tells me that she probably knows how to bowl on Indian 452 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,680 pitches and you know that that's always a good sign. 453 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,640 I I really like her. Very tall woman, I can tell you 454 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:13,920 that much. Very tall. 455 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,280 Yeah. I don't, I wonder about, you 456 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,400 know, they, they, I feel like Georgia Wareham was always was 457 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:27,440 very involved her her leg break was, was a constant costing for 458 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,360 RCP last year. And I don't know, there's not a 459 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:35,280 lot in terms of that, that excitement, yeah. 460 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,720 Yeah, I think in fact. I'll go, I'll go once. 461 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:40,560 Sorry, Sorry. I. 462 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,040 Mean go ahead. I think they miss Sophie Sophie 463 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,920 Molyneux even more last year than they did anybody else 464 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,960 because Sophie Molyneux had a fantastic WPL in 2024. 465 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,680 So yeah, the the season they won and and the final, of course, 466 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,800 yeah. I think they're expecting that 467 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:08,640 Radha and Shriyanka are going to be good enough as that spin core 468 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,640 to keep things together. And I think Prema has a little 469 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:16,040 bit of batting as well if they need to bring her in at the 470 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,880 second-half of the tournament. Lauren Bell got 19 wickets in 471 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,320 the women's hundred this year. That's that's interesting. 472 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,400 That is crazy, yeah. That's wild. 473 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,440 Yeah. So they have the wicket takers. 474 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,440 And is Pooja Vasaka still injured? 475 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:33,800 I think she's still injured, right? 476 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,520 I was wondering the same. Yeah, she is, She is. 477 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,000 Which is why I said they could have a chance to play Radha 478 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,520 Yadav as well. Rather's good, although her 479 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,400 World Cup form wasn't great, but yeah, she was coming back from 480 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,080 an injury. Interesting. 481 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,120 Yeah, I like this team. What is what is your view? 482 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,640 What food item would you call this? 483 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,880 Steam. I have a feeling that this is a 484 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:10,760 paneer butter masala. This is there to solve protein 485 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,520 needs for a particular set of dietary restrictions. 486 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,920 This has the same gravy as a butter chicken, so that helps, 487 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:28,040 but it still doesn't punch above its weight as much as I would 488 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:34,560 like them to. But say you ask them to spice it 489 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,920 up, then that middle order could. 490 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:44,840 Suddenly you're eating dinner and you know, like, oh, you have 491 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,600 that rare conversation. Oh, the paneer butter masala was 492 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,240 good today, so yeah. I think it's spicy. 493 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,560 I think that the that, that Elise Perry was kind of the 494 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,960 cooler. She was kind of the, you know, 495 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,240 like the, the, the yogurt sauce on the side that if you kept too 496 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,360 too spicy of a bite, you know, but now it's all spicy. 497 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,640 Now it might be too spicy. The writer. 498 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,120 Like someone needs not get out. We've just called. 499 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,480 We've just called. Elise Perry, Writer Please 500 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,600 continue listening for such quality. 501 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,800 Well. Speaking of teams who who are 502 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,800 going to need someone to knock it out, should we talk about my 503 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,880 Gujarat Giants? Yeah. 504 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,200 Let's go. Oh, I guess one last question. 505 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,800 Do you, do you think there are? I think they're not better than 506 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:41,960 last year. What do you think? 507 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,320 I'd say marginally on. Paper on paper, they were better 508 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,640 last year. I think they had so many 509 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,360 injuries. Like I feel like if Shriyanka's 510 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,880 back in this team, how much better are they than last year? 511 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,320 Yeah, she's going to have a really, really good season, I 512 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,720 think. I think there is something about 513 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:09,239 Shriyanka which is so exciting and there is. 514 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:14,400 She has that experience of playing in the Cpl., She has the 515 00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:20,840 she has all the right ingredients to be the spin 516 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:25,120 anchor of this of this squad. OK, fair enough. 517 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,560 I'm especially as a in the IPL as a Punjab Kingsman. 518 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:33,760 I'm not I'm not very friendly to RCB right now. 519 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:38,000 So I'm I'm hoping that that they're much worse, but we'll 520 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,600 see. What happened? 521 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,800 We don't. Need to. 522 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,400 We don't need to. We don't need to get into all 523 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,760 that. Let's talk about Goudreau Giant, 524 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:47,800 shall we? Everyone ready? 525 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:56,600 OK, so we're back. We're we are more Australian 526 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,000 than ever. We are the Goudreau giant women. 527 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,680 So right, the core. The core is still Ash Gardner, 528 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,400 you know, one of the most expensive women, tied for the 529 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:13,400 most expensive woman in in the WPL with Seaver Brunt and Marie 530 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,440 T She's going to need to be huge. 531 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,240 And then of course, Beth Mooney, who was a little bit who was a 532 00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:24,400 little bit chilly last year, didn't really she had a couple 533 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:29,480 huge matches, but not the kind of not the kind of consistent 534 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:34,400 presence, like, you know, driving force that that that we 535 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,120 really needed. She had a a pretty solid big 536 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,400 bash, fine World Cup. We we need her more than ever. 537 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,920 And then right we used RTMS on Barty Fulmali who really came on 538 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaking of power, she's she can she can slog it for sex. 539 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:58,560 So if you need more of that and then cash we get out of time 65 540 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,480 lock. That's kind of our core, right? 541 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,960 That's our core quickly who who did who did we lose? 542 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,040 Andrew Dodd and we already talked about is going to UP as 543 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,440 well as Phoebe Litchfield and Harlan Deol. 544 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:19,520 So I guess UP took a lot of lot of those old GG stalwarts, which 545 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:24,040 is interesting. And then of course, Laura 546 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:31,160 Wolvart has moved on to DC. I'm not a fan of Laura Wolvart. 547 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,760 I'm excited to have her out from clogging up that top order she 548 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:36,880 did. She was kind of out of the 549 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,600 lineup anyway by the end of last year. 550 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,120 I, I just don't really, I'm not sure if, if she's a great T20 551 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,840 player. That's my opinion, but that's 552 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,400 what we're looking at in terms of that's, that's where I am, 553 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,560 that's where I am. I mean, I'm not sure she's even 554 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,240 getting on the field for, for DC. 555 00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:59,040 We'll see. But additions, right? 556 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:04,840 So the big headline purchase is the very very elderly Sophie 557 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:10,600 Devine, not that elderly retired from it international and then 558 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:15,320 on retired and re retired yeah she's going to be important with 559 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,080 the bat and the ball. Her bowling numbers are are 560 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,560 still pretty consistently good. The batting not not so much. 561 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,880 You know she she had a couple she had a good start, especially 562 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,960 to the the women's World Cup, but she's she's coming off a 563 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,080 rough big bash. I'm not that's not where I where 564 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,520 I would have thrown my 2 core maybe on Sophie Devine, but 565 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:43,560 we'll see what happens there. Georgia Wareham, who I not so 566 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,560 coincidentally mentioned RCB might be missing. 567 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:53,640 You know, she kind of seems like a a role player, but she did get 568 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,760 this 11 bowling average with 5.47 economy in the most recent 569 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:03,240 Big Bash and with the bat she averaged 40 at 1:47. 570 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,520 I like them apples. She's really good. 571 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,240 She she was really good at finishing for RCB as well. 572 00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:11,960 Like I really liked her. I think she did a really good 573 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,680 job. So she's going to be very 574 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,440 important. Here's one that I'm really 575 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,400 excited about is Ranuka Singh, 60 lock. 576 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:25,040 You know, just having someone top of the power play, you know 577 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,720 exactly who's getting the ball. I've always liked her swing 578 00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:29,840 bowling. I'm I'm thrilled to have Ranuka. 579 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:35,280 You know, she's had a some, some some low lows in the WPL, but I 580 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,920 think she's a great player. I'm excited to have her. 581 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:44,880 Nika Yasti Kibatia. You know, we need, we need, we 582 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,080 need domestic batting and she theoretically is supposed to 583 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,960 provide it. So, you know, if you just read, 584 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,080 you just read the previews and you don't look at the numbers, 585 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,200 maybe maybe she'll be that. I have my doubts. 586 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,560 What do you guys have any thoughts on Yasti Kibatia? 587 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,160 I don't. I'm not sure that. 588 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,440 So last year she played ten matches. 589 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,240 So she was in MI which is a pretty good team and her strike 590 00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:16,000 rate was like 101 and her average was 9.7. 591 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,720 That's those are bad numbers. Yeah, she's got a lot of 592 00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:23,080 international caps, so I'm wondering if maybe there's 593 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,200 something that someone knows that I don't. 594 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:32,960 I yeah, so she's played in 20 international T20 is, I don't 595 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,560 know, I always thought of her more as like a longer format 596 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,960 player as well. Yeah, well, I think she's going 597 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,800 to be on the field and then, you know, a couple other players who 598 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,280 we'll see. We'll see how much time they 599 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,720 get. Kim Garth, she was another RCP, 600 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,360 you know, I remember she bowled a big super over for them. 601 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,520 Important player, good bowler. So I don't think she's in the 602 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,600 1st 11. I also don't think Danny Wyatt 603 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,400 is in the 1st 11. Never been a big fan really, but 604 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,400 it's I think that is there's a very real possibility if we end 605 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,520 up needing more batting that she she gets some games in and Tita 606 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:15,560 Sadhu, I'm not super familiar, but just you know, she she will 607 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,800 will definitely get on on the pitch. 608 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,600 She's young and fast, a really good bowler. 609 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:26,280 But yeah, I don't think she bowled like her whole last year. 610 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,440 I think she was bowling just like 2-3 overs. 611 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,080 Right, which we potentially have the flexibility for for her to 612 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,720 just do a couple overs. We'll see. 613 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,760 Yeah. So those are kind of the the big 614 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:43,440 additions, right? The the the bowling is also 615 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:48,400 fortified by Kashva Galatam and Tanuja Kanwar, who were really, 616 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,240 really solid last year, kind of the core of the bowling attack, 617 00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:55,960 like surprisingly last year. Yeah. 618 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,080 So they're I don't I don't want to leave them out, you know, 619 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,560 while we're going through. But right. 620 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,400 So with that in mind, the strengths, I guess first, let me 621 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,800 name what I think is the likely 11 got Beth Mooney at the top. 622 00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:10,960 And I think it's going to have to be Bhatia batting next to her 623 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:17,600 Divine at 3, Ash Gardner 4, Bharti Fulmali 5, Georgia 624 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,520 Wareham 6. Someone whose name I saw come up 625 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,520 in a couple of the previews was Ayushi Sony. 626 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,120 I'm not not super familiar with her game either. 627 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:31,720 But you know, we're going to need one of Kanika Ahuja and 628 00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:35,480 Ayushi Sony in that middle order all rounder spot. 629 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,760 Probably in my eyes, it's going to be a Ahuja because we need, I 630 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,040 think we need another. Spinner. 631 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,920 But but we'll see what happens with that. 632 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:51,880 Then at 8, we've got Galatam 9, Tanuja Kanwar 10, Ranuka Singh 633 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:56,680 11, Tita Sahu. For me, the strength, well, one 634 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,960 of the strengths is for sure power hitting is going to be 635 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,480 bashing that ball to the boundary, which you love, right? 636 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,120 Divine Gardner, Fulmali, Wareham boundaries. 637 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,960 So we'll see about we'll see how that goes. 638 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,120 I think that I think that should be that should provide some 639 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,880 entertainment. There should be enough, enough 640 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,320 depth of of of of powerful hitting there. 641 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,480 In my mind, this is a great bowling. 642 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,200 This is a great bowling team. It it we were, we were bowling 643 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,160 was our strength last year, not batting. 644 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,520 And I think we've only improved. So maybe we just got lucky. 645 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:36,120 Like I don't know. Am I being delusional on that 646 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,120 one? What do you guys think? 647 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,520 So I think I think they have the fast bowling. 648 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,360 So I love that fast bowling line up. 649 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,280 I don't think anyone has like I feel like they borrowed the fast 650 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:53,640 bowlers, especially on behalf of UP and DC, but I don't know if 651 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,600 they have like a mainstream good spinner. 652 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,200 I guess that Tanuja is pretty decent. 653 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,320 Georgia Wareham, she's going to be. 654 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,440 Georgia Wareham's good, but yeah, they'll. 655 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,040 Utilize a lot of Ash Gardner as well, right? 656 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,240 Yeah. I think that's the thing. 657 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:16,440 I think one of the things with all the women's teams is that 658 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:24,680 we're still in that, in that, in that phase in in T20 cricket 659 00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:31,320 where these roles are still not as coded as the men's game. 660 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:37,320 And that allows for having all rounders play a much, much 661 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:43,200 better part than let's say any other than the men's game, so to 662 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,840 speak. And, and, and I, and again, I 663 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,800 mean, pardon my ignorance, but there is no impact player, 664 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,960 right? So that means the 11 is the 11 665 00:43:55,120 --> 00:44:01,800 and therefore you are able to get more out of the Andrew 666 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:06,720 Dortin or or Ash Gardner or or even Sophie Devine for that 667 00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:10,280 matter, right. And and it just gives you so 668 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,400 much more flexibility. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the 669 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,680 impact player rule. We all know why. 670 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:22,040 Now you, you know, I guess to that point, I think this is a 671 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,480 team where there could be 8 people bowling in a match, you 672 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:30,400 know, So I'm telling myself the bowling is great. 673 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,960 I hope that it's right. Weaknesses. 674 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,720 We're one or two Indian batters short. 675 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,400 I mean, that's that's the big thing for sure. 676 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,600 Our top four most highly paid players are overseas players, 677 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:49,800 which I think is a flashing red light of of like not roster 678 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,000 construction. And I think that's where you 679 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,720 really see it is domestic batting. 680 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,960 Like Barti Fomali needs she's there's a lot of lot of weight 681 00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:03,400 on her shoulders and she kind of. 682 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,600 Yeah, we'll, we'll just have to see how that goes. 683 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,320 She looked good last year. But yeah, those are the 684 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,640 strengths and weaknesses. Other thoughts. 685 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,720 We have someone named Happy Kumari. 686 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,160 Needless to say, I'm a fan. I'm going to be cheering for 687 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,560 Happy Kumari. Yeah. 688 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,160 First, I think I. Yeah, first change from the 11 I 689 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,480 mentioned, I think would be, you know, if we if we just need more 690 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,040 batting. I think that where I'm could go 691 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,800 and and Danny Wyatt could could could hop in there. 692 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,760 Please Lord may we feel the better than last year. 693 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,560 The fielding was was a problem just. 694 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,000 Except for. The whole season, yeah. 695 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:50,640 You know, I forgot to mention this. 696 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,600 That's I'd said some you know, the last time we were on here 697 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,160 talking about women's cricket, I wasn't super nice to Harleen 698 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,560 Deol. We're we have a Harleen Deol 699 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:04,960 sized hole in our in our squad. We really could use her this 700 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,000 year and she wasn't great, but she did play a couple a couple 701 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:13,560 match wing knocks. Yeah, this is certainly a team 702 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,080 that could use Sarah Bryce as well. 703 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,680 So don't know. Why didn't they? 704 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,440 Was she not in the auction? Maybe she. 705 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,200 Wasn't available, who knows what. 706 00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:25,680 Are all these teams doing not selecting Alyssa Haley? 707 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:27,640 Like I don't get it. Yeah. 708 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,600 Unless she's specifically blacklisted for some reason, I. 709 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:39,400 Don't want to speculate but. Oh, I want to speculate, but it 710 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,080 will derail us quite a bit, yeah. 711 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,320 She, you know, her husband has been known to be flaky on the, 712 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,720 the, the men's side of things. So maybe there's. 713 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,800 Yeah. I don't think it's that. 714 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:58,680 I think it's a certain, certain story that she that she told 715 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:03,000 after the IPL ended last year. Yeah, that's that's. 716 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,120 About a train journey and you know about some. 717 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,480 A bomb attack. Yeah. 718 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,400 A certain power outage, perhaps? Yeah. 719 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,760 Yeah, well, we wish her the best. 720 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,160 All right, Food item. I'm thinking a dessert here for 721 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,880 sure. You know, we've got this is like 722 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,440 it's it's like, you know, you've got a lot of big names. 723 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,560 We spent all our money on Sophie Devine. 724 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:36,120 Like we're we're going to get all excited on a sugar high on 725 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,400 the dessert, either a candy bar or maybe a cupcake. 726 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,440 But yeah, I think some of that foundational, you know, the 727 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:48,920 protein like MV was talking about maybe maybe we're not as 728 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,040 maybe we're not as high in protein right now, but I'm 729 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,800 seeing either a candy bar or a cupcake. 730 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,960 Any thoughts on that? What frosting? 731 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,000 Oh, I always have been a buttercream man myself. 732 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,400 Not not for your reach. It's too sweet. 733 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,280 That's what this team is. We are we are all sugar baby. 734 00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:12,240 So do I think we're better than last year? 735 00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:14,520 Definitely. I think this is this is a better 736 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:20,240 team than last year, No doubt. You know, dotting for for 737 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:21,840 divine. That's kind of a like for like 738 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,680 replacement. And I'm, I'm happy to have 739 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,560 Divine's bowling in my mind. It's like a really solid bowling 740 00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,560 core. That's that's the path to 741 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:36,520 qualification because we're not stacking up with RCB in batting. 742 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,520 We're not even close. So we're going to need to bowl 743 00:48:40,720 --> 00:48:44,400 our booties off. Yeah, I think that's about all 744 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,520 I've got on Gigi. Let's let's hope for a good 745 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,240 season. You know, it brought in all the 746 00:48:49,240 --> 00:48:51,200 Australians. It worked for for Punjab. 747 00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:54,920 Maybe you can work for. That's the other reason. 748 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,640 I'm not sure if Danny Wyatt's getting on the field is like 749 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,360 there could be some some Australian collusion there. 750 00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:04,000 But anyway, I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to stop 751 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:05,480 talking. I can talk all that. 752 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:12,920 All right, the next team is the defending champions Mumbai 753 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,600 Indians. They won two WPL titles in the 754 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:22,520 three seasons and they even defended 149 to beat the Delhi 755 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:28,360 Capitals. And I think they do enter as one 756 00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,640 of the favorites. They retained Harmanpreet Kaur, 757 00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:36,960 Nat Silva Plant, Hayley Matthews, Amanjyot Kaur and I 758 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:43,080 think this is a these are all great signs of a team that knows 759 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:44,520 that they're in for the long haul. 760 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:50,480 They they do care about their players, which is very evident 761 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,360 across the MI franchises. They do take good care of their 762 00:49:55,360 --> 00:50:01,280 players. DKS spoken about like getting 763 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:05,320 practice sessions all through the year while he was at Mumbai 764 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,040 Indians. That was more than a decade ago, 765 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,400 but which means that things would have only improved. 766 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:20,400 And they did get in Kamalini, they brought back Amelia Kerr. 767 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,800 They also got in Shabnam Ismail, Nicola Kerry. 768 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,520 They of course have Saikai Shark, Nala Reddy, Mary 769 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:36,240 Ellenworth, Sajana Sajeevan, Sanskriti Gupta, Raila Ferdos 770 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:41,160 and Triveni Vashisht. I think they were very, very 771 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:45,440 strong and settled core like having Herman Preet, Nat Silver 772 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,320 brand, Haley Matthews, Amanjot or Amelia Kurt. 773 00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:53,520 I think any of them could win you one game and typically if 774 00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,320 all of them win you one game each, I think that's that's the 775 00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:01,160 title. Once again, there is AII felt 776 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:05,840 that they don't have the fast bowling chops as as much as they 777 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:10,400 would have liked, but they do have Shabnam Ismail as their 778 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:15,680 stand out pacer and she's done really, really well all across 779 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:20,440 the world. And there's a lot of dependence 780 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:25,480 on Haley Matthews coming back from injury and which means that 781 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,800 she would have the added pressure of a opening the 782 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,040 batting and B also bowling regularly. 783 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:38,880 They released Jessica Bhatia, so now I think they will have to go 784 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:44,520 with the keeping of G Kamalini and I'm very excited for her to 785 00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:48,440 play this entire season. She looked very good in her 786 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,080 opportunities last year. Like athletic. 787 00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,400 Very, very athletic. Yeah. 788 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,560 And, and they completely balanced like they have a good 789 00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:03,960 mix of seam spin all around us and I think a very, very good 790 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:08,440 support staff that compliments the captaincy of Herman Tree 791 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:13,680 Court as well. I do think they might have a 792 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:18,640 have some trouble if Haley Matthews is unable to bowl or is 793 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:23,440 is limited in any form, right? Which means if if Haley Matthew 794 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,200 doesn't play, then they might have to put Amelia Kerr right up 795 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,680 at the top, top of the order to bat with G Kamalini. 796 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:35,480 And then it's a little more flaky in terms of their batting, 797 00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:39,160 because then we'd have Sergeant and Sajim and coming in at maybe 798 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:43,920 6 or 7, right? I, I'm very excited that they 799 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:48,400 got in Nikola Carey. Nikola Carey is going to be 800 00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:52,560 really, really good, very good seam bowler and, and provide 801 00:52:52,560 --> 00:53:00,000 some batting depth at the end. And I I wish for an improvement 802 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:05,320 in fielding from Psych I Shark, but she's such a live wire in 803 00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:12,520 terms of how excited and anxious she is on the field. 804 00:53:12,720 --> 00:53:14,520 That's that's such a great thing to see. 805 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:19,520 Like in general, the the range of emotions that you see in a 806 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:24,760 women's game is, is is something that you must all TuneIn for and 807 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:32,120 and psycho act short third or or or or short fine, always hoping 808 00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,600 the ball never reaches or the ball doesn't follow. 809 00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:38,920 I think that that that is also very, very important. 810 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:40,920 I mean, anybody who's played cricket right, like you, you 811 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,000 always have this one team member. 812 00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,840 Like just put me somewhere where the ball's never going to be 813 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,480 coming. And, and yeah, the ball's always 814 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:53,880 going to follow them by by an inside edge or by deliberate 815 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:59,640 batting towards that field. Yeah, that they do have Poonam 816 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:07,320 Kemnar who's going to come in as their leg spinner and let me see 817 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:12,480 what their eleven could be. So I'm I'm taking into account 818 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,240 that Haley Matthews fit. So she opens with the Kamalini. 819 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:21,840 Nazima Brunt is nailed down at 3, Harmonbeal Court at 4, Amelia 820 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:27,200 Court at 5, Amanjot at 7, Poonam at Poonam at 7. 821 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:32,080 Sorry. Then depending on how it goes, 822 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:38,200 Saji and Sajana at 8, either of Sanskriti Gupta or yeah 823 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:44,280 Sanskriti Gupta at 9 and who else we will get Saikai Shark 824 00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,160 most definitely at 11 and maybe Shabnam is smile at 10. 825 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:53,160 If they were to swap Shabnam is smile, then maybe they will get 826 00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,720 Nikola Carry in. The thing is that, and I have 827 00:54:56,720 --> 00:55:01,200 always like at least in this format, they've always had a 828 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,880 very, very good foreign core as well. 829 00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:10,520 This is the other progression that I foresee happening in the 830 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:15,960 next few auction cycles is that teams are going to have a 831 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,000 stronger Indian core because that allows them more 832 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,400 flexibility. But having said that, I think 833 00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:30,640 this is as balanced and as stronger squad that that could 834 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,400 be and I think they they'll remain favourites every time 835 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,760 they play with as long as I would. 836 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:42,240 The Hayley Matthews is really the only thing that could get in 837 00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:43,720 the way of that, but other than that, I. 838 00:55:43,720 --> 00:55:45,240 Agree. Yeah, yeah. 839 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,280 Do you think they might be? I feel like they have, they have 840 00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:54,840 a lot of bowling options, but do they have like enough of those 841 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,240 score strike bowlers to get you wickets? 842 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,920 I don't. I'm not 100% sure about that. 843 00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:08,920 I have a feeling that The thing is with MI is that they're also 844 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:14,160 very good at matchups. They they they will ensure that 845 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,360 at different times of the game, Amelia Kerr is bowling as a leg 846 00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,040 spinning all rounder. They'll they'll have not several 847 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,200 brand bowling at different phases of the game as well. 848 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:28,760 And hopefully, hopefully the the leg spin off Poonam came not 849 00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,280 also comes to the four here, right. 850 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:35,600 You would want more leg spinners in the game or you want more 851 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,120 Indian spinners to come to the four as well. 852 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:44,640 So from that lens, yeah, I think net, net I, there's this as much 853 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:50,840 as you don't like MI for their, whatever they do on the men's 854 00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:56,480 side, I think you eventually have to doff your hat to the 855 00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:00,920 overall organization and, and say that yeah, they, they do a 856 00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,400 good job every time, yeah. Pretty solid. 857 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:04,640 It's. Kind of. 858 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,360 There's a saying you hate them because you ain't them. 859 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:10,960 There's kind of a you hate them because you ain't them. 860 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:15,120 Quality to to am I? I mean, I was kind of mad that 861 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:19,680 they stole DC's championship last year, yes. 862 00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,600 I was surprised that they were able to get When they got this 863 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:29,040 mail back for 60 locks, I was like this is just. 864 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,520 What are the other teams? It was like when the men got 865 00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:35,720 Quentin de Kock, whose form is now, yeah, the stratosphere for 866 00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:37,000 1,00,00,000 in the men's auction. 867 00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:42,680 It's like only these. Only these only MI seems to have 868 00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:46,200 the right side of deals and no one wants to go up against them 869 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,680 and. Yeah, you know like like 870 00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:52,720 imagine, imagine Quinton de Kock going at once year in the men's 871 00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:58,000 auction and nobody raising a paddle and MI had only two 872 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:02,040 crores I think in that auction in there in the Kitty. 873 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:04,200 I like that was. Fishy. 874 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:08,640 That was fishy. Yeah, am I collects, am I 875 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:13,400 collects players the way am I collects players the way Anand 876 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:19,280 Ambani collects animals for his Conservatory in Vantara. 877 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,800 So there aren't any left for everyone else. 878 00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,760 And they're all there's always a lot of shady stuff. 879 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,120 How could you guys think that Amanda Cora is? 880 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:34,000 Or she has a very high ceiling. We saw that in the first game of 881 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:38,200 the World Cup, right when I think India were 124 for five 882 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:42,680 and and she and Deepti powered India to more than 270, if I'm 883 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:43,960 not wrong. Yeah. 884 00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:48,360 So that was she's a *. Yeah, and that catch and that 885 00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:52,800 catch and that catch. What food item? 886 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,680 I think this is dumb biryani guys, this is slow. 887 00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:02,000 This is this new planning this needs. 888 00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:06,280 This is just right. You ordered it. 889 00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:11,400 It has all the star ingredients. It has a structure. 890 00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:17,720 And yeah, like, there's, there's just, there's just only nice 891 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,480 things to say about a dumb biryani. 892 00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,240 It could go wrong. It could go wrong. 893 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:29,160 But very rarely it does. Like like 9 out of 10 people 894 00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,560 will go and eat any dumb biryani and they're like, Oh my God, 895 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:35,240 that was a great experience. There's only always going to be 896 00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,480 like this this one guy or one girl. 897 00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,560 Like, no, you know, the, the layering wasn't right or the 898 00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:45,040 meat wasn't this. Nobody cares about you guys. 899 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,360 Nobody cares about you. Well, the meat could be stale 900 00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:53,720 like that happens a lot here. I I don't know if you've gone to 901 00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,920 all like there's a lot of Indian restaurants in the US that have 902 00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,880 really mediocre, substandard food. 903 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,840 Especially biryani and you know, if you order biryani on a 904 01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,320 Monday, it's. Being ordered old. 905 01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,560 Being ordered in India, this is being ordered in. 906 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,640 Mumbai Indians is the is the good stuff. 907 01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:19,040 You know, it is like, you know, lost their wages to provide you 908 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,280 this biryani. No, I'm going and eating, guys. 909 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,440 I'm going and eating. OK. 910 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,080 I think. I think we'll buy Indians Most 911 01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,760 boring team to prove you wouldn't you guys agree? 912 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,800 I was going to, I would have called them grilled chicken 913 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:37,080 because it's like you, it's stuff you got to eat. 914 01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,800 It's good for you and it's like gets the job done. 915 01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:42,640 But are you excited to look forward? 916 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:47,200 I don't know. Yeah, I mean, it could be a swap 917 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,680 between them, biryani or a grilled chicken, depending on 918 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:56,760 which side of you're on. What does that leave us with? 919 01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:00,600 That leaves us with the bells of the ball. 920 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:05,920 DC, DC. My my question. 921 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:07,920 My question is. Go ahead. 922 01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:15,480 Will they reach the final again? So I, I don't know and I suspect 923 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:19,280 not. And I mean, they, they could go 924 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,320 on a tear because they have, so they have Jemmy. 925 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:27,560 Jemima Rodriguez is the captain now and she's, she's replacing 926 01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,840 Meg Lanning. Those are huge shoes to fill. 927 01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,960 I don't know if Jemmy's done a lot of captaincy in the past, 928 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,800 but you know, she's great. I love her, one of the best, 929 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,240 best, most lovable characters in Indian cricket. 930 01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:43,040 So I'm really happy for her and really happy for this 931 01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,200 opportunity. I want her personally to do 932 01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,360 really well because she did not do well last season. 933 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:52,760 Like she her average was very low and she's someone who brings 934 01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:56,080 solidity to the team and is bustling like a busy player, 935 01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:59,440 someone who doesn't let the game get too far ahead of them. 936 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,240 So I really want her to do well this year. 937 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,960 You know, they have the chance to do something amazing, which 938 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:12,920 is to have Shefali Verma and Lizel Lee open the batting. 939 01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:20,000 And if that happens, I guarantee you guys this it's 150 strike 940 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,760 rate. So it's basically just like the 941 01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,240 you're going to have eyeballs glued to this television and 942 01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,600 you're going to see like a lot of balls lose their shape as 943 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:34,840 they get hit out of the ground. I'm so excited for this pair. 944 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,960 And you know, Lizelle also has a comeback arc. 945 01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,560 Go ahead. I was going to say I've got DCS, 946 01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:48,440 the biggest downgrade from last year, but you kind of sold me 947 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:52,040 with the idea of Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma opening the 948 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:53,640 batting. And you know that's not going to 949 01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:55,640 happen, right? I know it's not going to happen, 950 01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:59,600 but it's, it's just it's, it's if they do that, then they 951 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,560 deserve to win. You know, if if they don't do 952 01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:06,160 that, then yeah, there I think they have definitely downgraded 953 01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:09,360 from the last season. I don't think they're going to 954 01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,920 go on that that they had last year. 955 01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:15,640 Just consistent performances and like good stuff. 956 01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,680 I don't know, but they have Volvard. 957 01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,760 Volvard's not going to play like I feel like if they're starting 958 01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,360 with Volvard, you're you've gone wrong right there. 959 01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:29,360 She's she hasn't done well in the WBL. 960 01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,160 She hasn't done well in the WBBL like. 961 01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:35,800 It's a like for like with the 110 strike rate they got from 962 01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,440 Meg Lanning last year. They'll just insert a new 110 963 01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:41,280 strike right opener. There you go, that's. 964 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:49,200 True. But see, I I don't know, like I 965 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,680 really like Laura Wilbert. I know she's going to be the 966 01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:57,440 next best batter, but yeah, she's not, not in T 20s. 967 01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:00,280 Like that's not her format. And that's fine. 968 01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,960 They they still have Cap, you know, Marison Cap, who's not at 969 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,040 her best, but she's still pretty damn good. 970 01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,640 She's a really, she's a decent bat. 971 01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:13,520 You know, she can get you those 20s, thirties, not much more 972 01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:18,040 than that. But she can also, she can also 973 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:21,400 bowl pretty well and be a little bit scary in that first over 974 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:25,640 that she bowls. So I, I like Cap. 975 01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:28,640 She's more of a controlling bowler than a wicket taker. 976 01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:32,680 They do have Alana King, who played only one match last year 977 01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:36,040 because UP Warriors is just, you know, stupid. 978 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:41,080 And she had, she's had, she's coming off of really good 979 01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:45,000 bowling form in the WBBL. There is absolutely no reason 980 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,520 that she cannot do a good job, especially in the second-half of 981 01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:50,520 the tournament. I know she needs bounce and 982 01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,080 she's used to more bouncy wickets, but if Sophie Echelson 983 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:57,080 can do it like she can do it like these people are able to 984 01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,840 adjust their games and I think you should give them, give them 985 01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:06,520 some chance and some exposure. They've gotten Sneh Rana, which 986 01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:08,920 you know, if you're going to build a squad, you know, Sneh 987 01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:14,880 Rana is 1 fierce competitor. I really like her, although 988 01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:18,560 she's still more of a defensive bowler I don't think like she 989 01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:22,880 has. I think again, no attacking chop 990 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,920 so far in their bowling other than Alana King. 991 01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:30,640 If they can play her well, they have brought in Lucy Hamilton 992 01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:34,400 who is a bowling all rounder. She doesn't take a lot of 993 01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:37,920 wickets but she keeps things nice and tidy and she was also 994 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:41,440 the Australian under 19 captain. So I really, I really do like 995 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:42,880 her. Quite a bit interesting. 996 01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,560 Yeah. So someone to watch out for, I 997 01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,560 think. Yeah, that, that'll be 998 01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:52,120 interesting to see. There's the Borden and uncapped 999 01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,800 player Nandini Sharma, who's from Chandigarh. 1000 01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,280 She might play, I think because they don't have Annabelle 1001 01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,920 Sutherland. So they, you know, Annabelle 1002 01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:04,400 Sutherland was still in the score. 1003 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:07,960 I think they retained her, but she's out of the WPL and that is 1004 01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:11,480 a huge miss because Annabelle Sutherland is the one who gave 1005 01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:14,440 them control in those middle overs and bulldoze back of the 1006 01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:20,920 length deliveries that, you know, would be really good. 1007 01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:24,840 So I think it's it really sucks that she's not there. 1008 01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:29,720 I think it's a bigger loss than Elise Perry being gone for RCBI. 1009 01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:33,440 Think that DC actually might need Sutherland more than than. 1010 01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,120 RCDC needed Sutherland's bowling. 1011 01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:37,960 Yeah, yeah. So. 1012 01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:42,680 I'm not so sure. Like I mean they could manage 1013 01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:47,040 without her. Yeah, she was pretty critical, I 1014 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:51,520 think so she did provided them a lot of control in the middle 1015 01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:53,240 overs. And the other one was Shikha 1016 01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:54,840 Pandey. I don't know. 1017 01:06:55,240 --> 01:07:00,320 Unless they want my son to play this role or they want Lucy 1018 01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,680 Hamilton or someone else to play this role, I don't know who's 1019 01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:04,640 really going to do it. It'll be interesting. 1020 01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,960 They'll probably bring in Lucy Hamilton for the Animal 1021 01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:11,120 Sutherland role based on what I think she brings. 1022 01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:17,040 They have, they have a really interesting 16 year old called 1023 01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:21,120 DI Yadav, which I'm just like, you're 16, but what are you 1024 01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:22,800 doing? But shouldn't you be like 1025 01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:27,600 writing in slam books? Or you know something? 1026 01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:29,560 Slam Books. In high school. 1027 01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:36,720 Slam books have been mentioned. So DI Yadav, she's coming in 1028 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:42,840 from Haryana, right in Shafali Varma's footsteps and people are 1029 01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:45,440 saying that she's she bats like her. 1030 01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,480 I don't know if she's going to play in the games. 1031 01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:53,120 I'm I would be super excited if she gets a couple of games. 1032 01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:57,440 The way you know, we're above Surya when she broke in in the 1033 01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,640 IPL last year. I would really love to see like 1034 01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,640 a young player come in like that, especially if we don't 1035 01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:05,120 think DC is going to have a great season. 1036 01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,520 They might want to just see how she does, especially if she's 1037 01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,120 doing well in the Nets. I like her. 1038 01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:16,960 They have Chanel Henry who had a fun season and an insane strike 1039 01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:24,520 rate of 196 for UP last year. Like just while so I, I she's 1040 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,760 not consistent. So I, I don't know if they'll 1041 01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:33,240 play her, but I, I, I think Slim begins at this point, right? 1042 01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:34,720 They spent they. Have. 1043 01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:39,960 Yeah, yeah. So they again have a huge 1044 01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,720 weakness with their keepers. Like they have Tania Bhatia 1045 01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:46,399 who's working her way into the Indian team contention who last 1046 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,840 played in Tests and ODI is like as I don't really think she's 1047 01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:55,319 played in T 20s either. Then they have someone from 1048 01:08:55,319 --> 01:08:59,720 Hyderabad, the Mahdiwala Mamta, who's who's a, who's a reserve 1049 01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:03,359 wicket keeper. But I haven't seen good strike 1050 01:09:03,359 --> 01:09:05,359 rate numbers at the domestic level. 1051 01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:08,359 So again, I don't think she's going to be playing. 1052 01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:09,800 Yeah. I have a. 1053 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:11,840 You're going to miss a guys surprise us. 1054 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:15,359 I have a feeling you're going to surprise us guys because I like 1055 01:09:15,359 --> 01:09:19,000 them. I think that's reason #1 and 1056 01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,160 that's. Our bat for the season then, 1057 01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:23,520 because I have a feeling they're bottom of the table. 1058 01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:29,520 They would be sneaky. I must share, Ben, that nobody 1059 01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,359 listens to the podcast, so whatever your claim is right 1060 01:09:32,359 --> 01:09:36,080 now, nobody's going to remember it at the end of the season. 1061 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:43,560 I can just turn the tables and say that I had DC at the bottom 1062 01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:46,200 of the table at the start of the season. 1063 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:47,840 I really like. Wow, what a great call. 1064 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,760 So really interesting. They have a decent spin goal, 1065 01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:56,400 right? So they have, I think they have 1066 01:09:56,400 --> 01:10:01,040 what it takes to have to work in a batting dominated part of the 1067 01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:04,520 season, which is going to be at the D by Partil with their 1068 01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,720 hitting at the top. They do have Nikki Prasad. 1069 01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,120 So I'm excited to see what Nikki Prasad can do. 1070 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,240 She's a phenomenal fielder, right? 1071 01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,800 But in terms of her batting and her overall ability like we're, 1072 01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:21,240 I would love to see more of her. I think she's she's super 1073 01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,000 exciting. I want to see Jamie get her form 1074 01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,920 back. But I think they have a 1075 01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:31,400 reasonable spin due of me, no money and Sri Charani. 1076 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,440 Sri Charani, who didn't get a lot of games last year but has 1077 01:10:34,440 --> 01:10:38,280 played regularly for the Indian side, is just like beautiful 1078 01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:42,960 slow left arm bowler. What a what a gorgeous bowler. 1079 01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,080 I feel like she's she's going to do well. 1080 01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:50,560 I have a feeling like if if Bishan Singh Bedi was alive, he 1081 01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:54,920 would have liked to have watched Sri Charani bowl. 1082 01:10:55,480 --> 01:11:01,080 That is high praise, I. Mean that action is is so good 1083 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,560 that action can hide the arm ball. 1084 01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:11,160 Like I have no idea what bio mechanics is or her bio 1085 01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:17,600 mechanics, but my God, like that is so smooth and that ability to 1086 01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,800 land the ball at the correct spot every time. 1087 01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:26,280 Very, very close to OK, Sophie Eccleston. 1088 01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:30,720 But I think not as much guile because because that comes with 1089 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:34,360 time, that ability to flight. I think she's much more flatter, 1090 01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:39,800 but I think it'll come. I mean, everything is is right 1091 01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:46,080 there. She is, as Sartre said on our 1092 01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:49,280 board. I think she was born in 2004. 1093 01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:51,800 How can you be born in the 2000s? 1094 01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:56,360 Yeah, like. So do you like the spin line up 1095 01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,200 though? You have Minu, you have Sri 1096 01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:02,840 Charani and you have Alana King. Yeah, I mean, that's 10 wickets, 1097 01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:05,680 guys. Alana King takes 7, Sri Charani 1098 01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,640 2 and Minumani one. That's 10 wickets every game. 1099 01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,720 Oh, I didn't know a lot of King replaced. 1100 01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:14,560 I don't know, Sutherlands. That's pretty huge. 1101 01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:18,960 Yeah. Not changing my bottom of the 1102 01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:20,880 table prediction, but that's still pretty huge. 1103 01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,160 So they have good spin and they have good top order batting. 1104 01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:30,200 So I, I think they'll, I think they've built a team that can 1105 01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:35,880 work at both the venues and I, I don't mind it, but I think it, 1106 01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:41,000 it's their middle order will be what decides how well they do 1107 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,680 and how consistent they are. So yeah, that's all I had for DC 1108 01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:47,080 and. We need a food item. 1109 01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:51,840 Oh, yeah. I think DC is kind of like, it's 1110 01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:56,920 like a really good beer. So, you know, one that has 1111 01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:00,840 really good body and mouthfeel and, you know, it's fresh and, 1112 01:13:01,480 --> 01:13:05,560 you know, really fun. You it's great at the beginning 1113 01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,560 of the beginning of the evening and you have a great time. 1114 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,800 But if you have too many, like, are you going to consistently 1115 01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:15,360 feel the same about the beer through the night? 1116 01:13:15,440 --> 01:13:17,280 I don't know. So. 1117 01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:20,040 Yeah. I like it, but I'm saying really 1118 01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:22,120 bad beer. Really bad. 1119 01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:25,120 Yeah, really bad bottom of the table beer. 1120 01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:28,440 How about a Miller Lite? Miller lights. 1121 01:13:28,440 --> 01:13:30,160 There you go. There you go. 1122 01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:36,320 Nice, nice light to hear. Should we do rankings before we 1123 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,280 wrap up? You guys want me? 1124 01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,720 To start doing rankings, I think, I think you can do 1125 01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:43,440 rankings and we'll judge you at the end of the season. 1126 01:13:43,440 --> 01:13:45,680 Yeah, yeah. OK. 1127 01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,080 You do the rankings. I already set my bottom of the 1128 01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:49,640 table, so I'll start at the bottom. 1129 01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,640 Daily Capital women. I'm I'm giving them the the 1130 01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,400 preseason wooden spoon. I just don't think there's 1131 01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:57,880 enough bowling there. I guess the spin bowling is 1132 01:13:58,520 --> 01:13:59,680 we'll see. I don't think there's enough 1133 01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:02,240 bowling then. It was a tough one, but I'm 1134 01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:08,080 going with UPW Uttar Pradesh. They've definitely got, I think 1135 01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:09,320 they've got the biggest variance. 1136 01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:13,760 That's my opinion there. My Gujarat Giant women third 1137 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:19,840 middle of the table, the same as last year RCB coming in in 1138 01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:26,680 seconds and the the the evil overlords Mumbai Indians still 1139 01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,960 stay at the top. Maybe maybe this Haley Matthews 1140 01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,800 injury that could really change things. 1141 01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:35,760 They're pretty pretty reliant on those all those all rounders, 1142 01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:39,640 but maybe not. What do you guys think of that? 1143 01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:42,680 I didn't you you thought I was going to go with Gujarat at the 1144 01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:44,760 top, didn't you because but I'm not a Homer. 1145 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:48,760 I'm I'm a very, very, I've got credibility. 1146 01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:52,880 I, I thought you'd have them second, I think you've 1147 01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:57,880 underrated UPA little bit. I like UPC more and I think 1148 01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:01,360 you're overrating RCBA little bit because I. 1149 01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:03,720 Yeah. I just have a feeling that 1150 01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:05,720 they're not going to do as well this year. 1151 01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:11,480 Yeah, I think, I think UP will do better than fourth, most 1152 01:15:11,480 --> 01:15:13,200 definitely. Interesting. 1153 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:19,480 With RCPI, just can't get over The top is the top is Mariti and 1154 01:15:19,480 --> 01:15:23,160 George of all and then the bottom is Richard Ghosh. 1155 01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:27,680 That's like maybe not really. I'm hanging with that. 1156 01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:30,800 I'm very, very excited about Grace Harris. 1157 01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:37,200 Like I when I when I first heard that she was part of the RCB as 1158 01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:42,080 my first thought was Grace Harris at Bangalore and then I 1159 01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:43,960 realized no, no games in Bangalore. 1160 01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:49,440 That would have been fun. Yeah, that would have been fun. 1161 01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:53,720 All right, I think we have a fun quiz. 1162 01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:57,880 Do you want me to start? Yes, go ahead. 1163 01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:02,280 So Speaking of Grace Harris, who's already done this, who is 1164 01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:05,320 most likely to break their bat smashing something? 1165 01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,040 And it can't be Grace Harris, so it has to be someone else. 1166 01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:10,680 I have a feeling it's going to be Meg Lanning. 1167 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:15,360 We're going. To see her angry at something, 1168 01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:20,560 we're going to see her chopping onto the stumps at a critical 1169 01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:27,360 juncture and it's they're 5 down, she's already on like some 1170 01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:33,640 67 of 52 or something like that. And and they close, but no cigar 1171 01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:35,880 because she just chopped it onto her stumps. 1172 01:16:37,480 --> 01:16:40,000 I think that's a good answer. Is, is Harmon Breit? 1173 01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:46,320 Is that too easy? Guys, she is the answer to 12344 1174 01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:47,920 questions that I come here. Yeah. 1175 01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:50,640 I've got Meg Lanning for at least one of those four that 1176 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:52,800 that I bet you have in mind. So. 1177 01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,440 Herman Breit's always a good answer. 1178 01:16:56,440 --> 01:17:00,760 Herman Breit's just box office right? 1179 01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,880 She is OK Herman Breit's a great answer. 1180 01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:07,440 Who is most likely to have a really funny reel? 1181 01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:13,680 I have two options. One is Diya Yadav and two is 1182 01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:17,800 Shriyanka Patil. I like it. 1183 01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:21,440 I've I've got Nikki Prasad. I think she's she seems like a 1184 01:17:21,440 --> 01:17:25,200 reals kind of kind of gal in me. She's got that kind of like 1185 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:29,520 selfie look about her, you know, lots of followers, lots of 1186 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,920 likes. I'm I'm seeing Nikki Prasad as 1187 01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:37,520 as as the funny real have her. That's a generation generational 1188 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:39,160 gap between her and the IR though. 1189 01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:44,200 I think the IR the wins gap of players. 1190 01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:48,120 I didn't realize there was there was a 16 year old that's not 1191 01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:51,400 quite vibe off level but that's good. 1192 01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:55,840 To know Sophie Devine already has a Durander themed. 1193 01:17:56,120 --> 01:18:04,080 Oh God. OK, so who is most likely to 1194 01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:10,160 break a stump? OK, is this bowling or is this 1195 01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:13,200 in anger? I'd I had imagined this from 1196 01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:16,320 bowling because in anger it's probably Herman Breed. 1197 01:18:18,440 --> 01:18:21,560 I went with shop name is that that might be another too easy 1198 01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:23,560 of an answer. There, that's that's an easy 1199 01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:25,160 one. That's too easy, but I'm going 1200 01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,120 Kranti gourd. Yeah, Kranti is another one. 1201 01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:30,240 That's right, I'm going Kranti gourd. 1202 01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:33,560 Who's most likely to hit 5 sixes in an over? 1203 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:39,480 I am going with Kiran Navgiri. Great answer. 1204 01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:42,280 That's a good one. I have Chanel Henry, who she 1205 01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:45,280 probably, she may have actually done that at one point last 1206 01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:46,480 season. Probably done. 1207 01:18:46,480 --> 01:18:48,120 I think she's going to play for DC. 1208 01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:49,800 I'm predicting that's another day. 1209 01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:53,480 Addiction I. Think if she does DC wins like. 1210 01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:55,920 That's a good point. If she can stay in the line up, 1211 01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:57,560 that's a bad sign for everyone else. 1212 01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,320 That's a good point, yeah. So, you know, how's your. 1213 01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:04,080 Prediction looking. How's your prediction looking? 1214 01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,080 My prediction will look good, rest assured. 1215 01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:12,040 So no, Harmanpreet answers. But who's most likely to yell at 1216 01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:15,760 the umpire? Each core this. 1217 01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:21,920 I have I I still think the scariest cricketer, man or 1218 01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,720 woman, is Mari's on cop. I've got cop for most likely to 1219 01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:25,320 yell. Oh my. 1220 01:19:25,480 --> 01:19:28,360 God, yes, that's true. Oh yes, Oh yes. 1221 01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:31,720 And and the umpire will change their call out of fear when she 1222 01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:35,240 does. The glare, The stairs. 1223 01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:40,680 She had some fearsome when she got some like it's in the 1224 01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:43,640 Women's World Cup. Scary, scary. 1225 01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:48,080 Woman so I like her most for the next answer, which is who's most 1226 01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:51,080 likely to yell at their teammates because I feel like 1227 01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:54,960 I've if you drop a catch of Marazan cap like good luck. 1228 01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:58,520 Yeah, seriously. Just don't go in the dressing 1229 01:19:58,520 --> 01:19:59,960 room. Just go straight home or 1230 01:19:59,960 --> 01:20:03,880 whatever it is, go back to the hotel and yeah. 1231 01:20:05,440 --> 01:20:09,080 Try not to meet. Her I, I think yelling at their 1232 01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:14,000 own teammates, I have a feeling it's going to be deep, deep. 1233 01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:18,200 I have a combination of deep deep Meg landing and. 1234 01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:22,280 And it's going to be very funny because her voice is not suited 1235 01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:25,360 for yelling They. Aren't the same team now. 1236 01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:28,040 Yeah. Do you think they could be 1237 01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:29,960 yelling at each other that that would be funny? 1238 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,280 I think Deep Dee and Meg Landing are going to gang up on poor 1239 01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:37,000 Sophie Ecclestone. I'm, I'm, I'm afraid for her. 1240 01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,000 They don't, Australians don't like Ecclestone. 1241 01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:44,560 I think that she's going to not hustle in between the wickets or 1242 01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:47,960 something and, and she's going to, she's going to get it. 1243 01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:52,680 I predict. I predict Sophie Eccleston hits 1244 01:20:52,680 --> 01:21:01,880 A6 to win them the game and Meg Lanning out of character rushes 1245 01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:05,360 onto the field to hug her. Interesting. 1246 01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:07,560 Wow. OK, there's the there's another 1247 01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:09,120 one. Add that to our bats list these. 1248 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:11,560 Are our ashes. These are our ashes. 1249 01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:15,800 Yes, and this happens in the game. 1250 01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:24,400 Meg Lanning has smashed the bat, and then so comes at the end of 1251 01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:29,280 the game and she's like, Meg thought we couldn't do it. 1252 01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:33,080 Yeah, something like that. So what's? 1253 01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:35,560 Happening they're not finishing fourth in the table, so I can't 1254 01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:39,080 I can't cosign that. So if they're yelling at each 1255 01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:41,960 other, that's really funny. Who's most likely to yell at the 1256 01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:44,520 opposition? And let's get a new player this 1257 01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:46,640 time, not. It's good that you said that 1258 01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:48,320 because I had written down cop again. 1259 01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:57,960 I, I, I have a feeling it's going to be OK. 1260 01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:04,760 I have three options, but I will go with Shikha Pandey for this 1261 01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:08,120 one. Like there's going to be like 1262 01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:12,960 something really random on one of her out swingers or an in 1263 01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,720 swinger depending on if it's a lefty or a righty. 1264 01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:22,000 They would have edged it and not walked and something like that. 1265 01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:23,480 We could use something like that. 1266 01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:27,360 I would love that. I want fire, I want, I want, I 1267 01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:30,200 want fights to happen. Yes, in the WPL. 1268 01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:33,920 We need the Big Bash of the WPL. Yeah, I need it. 1269 01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:36,600 I don't have. I'm going to go with Danny 1270 01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:38,200 Wyatt. I think she's going to be, she, 1271 01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:40,840 she wants revenge on UP. It's going to be this Sunday, 1272 01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:44,640 actually, she's going to, she's going to want revenge on UP. 1273 01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,640 She was clearly not happy there. So that's my prediction. 1274 01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:51,480 Interesting that is. That is very interesting. 1275 01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:56,560 And the last one, who's going to take an awesome boundary catch? 1276 01:22:57,160 --> 01:23:00,840 I had Jemima Rodriguez written down for this, but then I 1277 01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:04,080 realized she's the captain, so she's going to be in the inner 1278 01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:05,360 circle. Correct. 1279 01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,680 And that's why my answer is Radha Yadav. 1280 01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:09,840 I like it. That's. 1281 01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:13,840 A very good answer. I had actually a reverse answer. 1282 01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:16,800 This is where this is where I've done the research. 1283 01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,440 I have a reverse answer. It's just not going to be anyone 1284 01:23:21,440 --> 01:23:24,320 on Gigi. It's not going to be a Gujarat 1285 01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,680 giant taking any sort of good defensive play. 1286 01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:30,520 That's that's a you can you can write that. 1287 01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:35,120 One, it'll happen again. It is going to happen and Ash 1288 01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:38,840 Gardner is going to take a flyer at the deep mid wicket boundary. 1289 01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:39,960 Oh my God. Yes. 1290 01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:43,680 Ash Gardner. Ash Gardner, Helene. 1291 01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:49,040 I was also thinking an outside chance of Nikki Prasad because 1292 01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:50,560 she's also a really good fielder. 1293 01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:56,800 And I and I and I did forget. But for the second question, a 1294 01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:00,240 funny reel. We did miss Phoebe Lichfield 1295 01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:04,680 because she is box office. You also missed Miley Cyrus. 1296 01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:11,120 I'm not sold on it in terms of a funny reel. 1297 01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:14,960 OK, OK. OK, not yet. 1298 01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:17,680 These these teams need to up their game. 1299 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:22,240 The social media teams. Speaking of incredible social 1300 01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:27,280 media games, the last bonus question Who will follow in 1301 01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:32,560 David Warner's footsteps and do a 6-7 celebration when they get 1302 01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:35,720 a 50 or 100? I saw someone tweeting that that 1303 01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:41,080 was worse than the sandpaper the the 6-7 celebration on the 100. 1304 01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:45,000 So I think there's one clear answer for who's doing 6-7. 1305 01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:48,440 I'll let you guys go first. Bet Mooney. 1306 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:55,080 Interesting, but that's well, it's she would be following the 1307 01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:59,880 tradition of of of the the the old people not getting that the 1308 01:24:59,880 --> 01:25:01,640 meme's already dead. So. 1309 01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:03,720 Yes. That's that's the reason. 1310 01:25:04,480 --> 01:25:08,040 I I think it's got to be Jamima. She, she was doing the floss 1311 01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:11,320 celebrations. 6 sevens coming. Out keep the floss. 1312 01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:13,320 It was not the floss. It was. 1313 01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:15,480 She she made it kind of charming. 1314 01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:18,240 She could maybe make me like 6-7 maybe? 1315 01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:22,240 I. I see that happening. 1316 01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:24,480 I see that happening. I I can see. 1317 01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:27,360 Jimmy. It could be Jimmy or Shriyanka, 1318 01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:31,720 like forcing other people to do this, Yeah. 1319 01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:34,400 That's nice that we got to the end of the podcast and we agreed 1320 01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:39,080 on something that's a, that's a nice full circle moment right 1321 01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:40,560 there. Yeah. 1322 01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:48,440 And with that, that's a wrap on our WPL preview podcast with the 1323 01:25:48,440 --> 01:25:54,560 37 different diversions and detours we took and hope you 1324 01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:58,160 enjoy. We will probably be doing two or 1325 01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:04,160 three parts through the WPL and hopefully have a good time. 1326 01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:07,000 You have a good time watching it. 1327 01:26:07,440 --> 01:26:10,480 We will hope to do that as well. That's. 1328 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:14,360 More in a row there is good they're going to blow next in. 1329 01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:19,320 The prodigal son turn Messiah gets a second hundred in 1330 01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:22,960 successive. Romantic style, The whole of 1331 01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:26,320 Bengal are on their feet on the next bull. 1332 01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,240 The dream is diminished for Carlos Pratt Wing. 1333 01:26:33,800 --> 01:26:35,320 Favourable scenes here at the Bull Ring.
