1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,320
That's four in a row. 
Various girls are going to blow 

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,840
next. 
In the Prodigal Son turn, 

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,120
Messiah gets a second hundred. 
In successive. 

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:19,360
Style the whole of. 
Bengal are. 

5
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,880
On their feet. 
He's already dead. 

6
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:39,840
Oh yeah, right. 
So, OK, welcome to the BCCI 

7
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:47,480
podcast. 
I mean we have MV and and me but

8
00:00:47,480 --> 00:01:06,760
I have no idea. 
I'm fine either. 

9
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:26,320
Way I actually wanted to. 
Talk about what do you guys 

10
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:31,720
think of the greatest, most 
alpha man in the world, Ben 

11
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,200
Stokes? 
Overrated. 

12
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:47,200
I don't know because not just 
Ben Stokes jobilog sorry beat 

13
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,960
me, let me chat the distractor. 
But how? 

14
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,600
How come after four years of 
planning, this may happen? 

15
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,480
But first of all, don't know 
cheese, beholding the Ashes is 

16
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,160
not that important. 
Jokhale, they were important. 

17
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,720
And then before the Ashes, it 
was also the biggest series of 

18
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,080
your life. 
How come you go with that? 

19
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,840
How come in four years you only 
have those bowlers which played?

20
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:20,120
Look below, who were the 
collective geniuses behind it? 

21
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,880
So Ben Stokes definitely ached 
the whole way and probably Key 

22
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,880
and McCollum and maybe some 
other people behind the scenes. 

23
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,600
But you remember Hamesha 
whenever England tours India 

24
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:37,640
Evident they don't really care. 
Like he just let's earn the 

25
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:45,320
paycheck. 
Guilty say Pope or Hartley are 

26
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:53,520
fine but same feeling like 
what's the point? 

27
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,720
So. 
We planning here. 

28
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,720
Look, go ahead. 
So here's my problem with Ben 

29
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,960
Stokes. 
OK Ben Stokes and Basmat Kalam 

30
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,760
both. 
So AI is not good for a lot yet,

31
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,160
but it's good for asking 
pointless questions and getting 

32
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,560
the answers you want. 
And one of the things I put in 

33
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,200
is how do you know if you are in
a cult? 

34
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:26,200
OK, so it's. 
Be very be very careful of the 

35
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,000
point that you're saying. 
So authoritarian leader, check, 

36
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,920
right? 
Ben Stokes basically told them 

37
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:37,840
teams, I'll say key, we want to 
be caught out playing aggressive

38
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,560
shots rather than a defensive 
shot. 

39
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,800
We want to entertain. 
We don't care as much about 

40
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,600
winning, OK, Except the moment 
he lost like one game in the 

41
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,040
Ashes, they flipped completely. 
And he's started dead batting 

42
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,600
when it was easy to bat on. 
There was we stopped seeing 

43
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,360
basketball. 
Like basketball died in the 

44
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,000
second Test, right, Or the third
Test, whenever that was that Ben

45
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,760
Stokes played out and they 
bought in Will Jacks and they 

46
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,680
just dead batted the whole time 
when it was really good for 

47
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,360
batting. 
Yeah. 

48
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,360
So basically he tells his team 
for three years, you've got to 

49
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,519
do things this way. 
They build the team around it. 

50
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:17,959
They build a culture around 
this. 

51
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,200
And then they completely 
abandoned this culture. 

52
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,760
And he immediately goes and 
calls them weak men. 

53
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,240
We have no place for weak men. 
Dude, what is wrong with you? 

54
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,160
Like you told them to play like 
this. 

55
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:35,320
You, you did this whole thing. 
So he basically it's basketball 

56
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,160
is whatever Ben Stokes wants it 
to be even more than you know, 

57
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,240
Basma column. 
That's pretty much it, right? 

58
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,320
Yeah. 
Then the. 2nd is days of 

59
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,600
baseball. 
He was doing it kind of like, I 

60
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,920
mean, he would just come swing 
and get out, so. 

61
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,760
But yeah. 
Yeah. 

62
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,920
So the other things to know that
you're in a cult are like undue 

63
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,880
influence, which basically on 
elections. 

64
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,880
Just asking. 
Just asking too soon. 

65
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,200
Too soon, too real. 
Too real. 

66
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:19,120
And then This is why I don't go 
on Baja pond, OK, court reform, 

67
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,680
use constant lecture, sleep 
deprivation or cliches cliches 

68
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,280
though it on a Baja. 
They use career like I'm just 

69
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:30,080
tired of listening to them talk.
I'm tired of listening to that 

70
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:37,480
basketball talk and you know, 
pre pre ashes, the whole the 

71
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,480
whole hype about basketball and 
what they were going to do. 

72
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,800
And this is the most exciting 
team to come to England. 

73
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,560
So they come to Australia. 
It probably was, but yeah, it 

74
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,800
was it was kind of annoying. 
I was like, yeah, let's let's 

75
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,040
start playing already. 
And the fourth thing is like no 

76
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,920
accountability, right? 
I. 

77
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,840
I think because of the previous 
three tours now where it was 

78
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,600
50405 what MATLAB it was 14 zero
right out of 15 last three 

79
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:18,320
times, not just the 11 this time
it was a lottery and whatever. 

80
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:24,080
But at MATLAB, I think people 
are not being accountable 

81
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,640
because for moments it felt like
he at least they were competing.

82
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,920
Although which is made in my 
opinion, it's even worse because

83
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:38,200
they basically gave away they 
gave away the birth test as a 

84
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,720
gift. 
So and had they won the birth 

85
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,480
test, it could have been a lot 
different. 

86
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:50,320
Maybe Cummins comes in not 
really fate and then, you know, 

87
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,480
a lot of things could have 
happened. 

88
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,080
But so they should, I think more
scrutiny, but I think this were 

89
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,360
listening over again because it 
felt like they were competing 

90
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,640
and they also ended up winning 
one. 

91
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:06,000
Yeah, essentially in that both 
Test, I think Australia had no 

92
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,680
business coming back into that 
test. 

93
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,120
I think even in the second Test 
there was a point where we 

94
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,960
thought England could have done 
a good job. 

95
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,920
Yeah, it. 
Wasn't after this first Test 

96
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,760
like what a funny situation like
travel side is saying sorry to 

97
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,600
the people who lost their I mean
who basically got tickets for 

98
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:35,080
the third day couldn't see like.
The accountability in the year 

99
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,600
is pay up MV30-UP in Tippany 
there. 

100
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:44,000
Nice man. 
Be good. 

101
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,280
You had four years to plan for 
this. 

102
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,520
You also told everybody that 
you're planning only for this 

103
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,600
for four years and then you are 
in a situation where none of 

104
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,480
your opening fast bowlers are 
opening fast bowlers in 

105
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,640
Australia. 
The real basic. 

106
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,120
And this is the same thing we 
talk about, I think for, for, 

107
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,480
for pretty much every team and 
even even for BCCIBJP. 

108
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,840
We have spoken about this, right
key that they pick bowlers who 

109
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,280
are maybe first change and then 
give them the new ball or if 

110
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,400
they pick bowlers for the new 
ball who are first change 

111
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,160
bowlers. 
So I mean, there is no point, 

112
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,280
right? 
Because if, and I think Jared, 

113
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,920
Jared spoke about this recently,
also key there are these 

114
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:34,000
bowlers, Georgetown and Braden 
cars and and parts maybe as 

115
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
well. 
Parts go to anyways, like 

116
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:43,640
probably his last game for a 
very, very long time. 

117
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,400
These bowlers typically want to 
bowl only in from the 20th over 

118
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,240
to the 60th over. 
I mean, if you give them the new

119
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,920
ball without any plans, then how
are they supposed to execute 

120
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,320
them? 
And lack of planning is even 

121
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:06,680
like further, when you look at 
the fact that their lengths were

122
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:10,120
so, so, so poor. 
Their lengths were so poor. 

123
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,240
I mean, anybody knows here you 
have to go fuller in Australia. 

124
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,240
We if you're not going fuller in
Australia, then then when will 

125
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,640
you do? 
But again, exactly. 

126
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,480
I was just coming to the. 
I was just coming to the you had

127
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,360
bowling coach who basically he 
just went on a vacation. 

128
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,040
I did. 
He went to play a golf 

129
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,320
tournament. 
Yeah, and six weeks before 

130
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,520
Anderson has gone for a golf 
tournament, they're asking Dale 

131
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,160
stay in six weeks. 
Before, yeah, yeah. 

132
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,160
And I don't know like if I don't
know if Dale stay in takes up a 

133
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,720
lot of coaching gigs. 
I think he's take care of you in

134
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,640
the IPL. 
But if if I am being asked as a 

135
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,640
coach to come in six weeks 
before a before a tournament 

136
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,240
that my team generally that this
team generally loses and loses 

137
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,440
badly, I'm setting myself up to 
be a scapegoat. 

138
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,040
Yeah, who is going to take this 
job? 

139
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:14,800
Yeah, and see, I understand Key 
if they had, Anderson said. 

140
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,640
Mother bought help with the 
whatever, but as a professional 

141
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,080
cricketer you are Australia 
bowling. 

142
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,280
They are literally telling you 
how to bowl. 

143
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,240
No, no, they are winging it. 
Complete winging it. 

144
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,040
This. 
Is. 

145
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:39,320
This is like. 
We. 

146
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,480
We know better. 
We are smarter. 

147
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,960
Even without a coach, we have 
our plans. 

148
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,640
They had, they had one, the only
one plan. 

149
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,360
And it didn't work. 
Yeah, the you're constantly 

150
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,000
bowling short. 
And the other thing about 

151
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,880
selection is Rob Baron actually 
on on combo was talking about 

152
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,640
Matthew Potts and he says 
Matthew Potts has the 99th best 

153
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,720
strike rate in the county 
championship. 

154
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:11,320
OK, so, so like what is 
happening here guys? 

155
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,720
What what is going on? 
What I think what they thought 

156
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,760
is that they don't really need 
to care about their bowling 

157
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,440
because their batting is that 
good, right? 

158
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,720
They thought that their batting 
is so much better than Australia

159
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,920
that it's. 
It's going to and the last Test 

160
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:32,920
match how like to what is the 
point of Stokes? 

161
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:41,160
OK, I know key injuries, but at 
least if if they would have like

162
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,360
at least if had they given 
Bashir more tests, maybe in 

163
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,600
Sydney, you could have just done
a holding job or something like 

164
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,360
they had this by Sydney I mean. 
Jeetan Patel was there. 

165
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,320
I mean how can, how, how come 
you end up with three bowlers 

166
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,600
and Stokes at Sydney? 
Like how? 

167
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,080
Where are the wickets coming 
from? 

168
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,960
Well, because they needed to 
play Will Jacks because their 

169
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,120
batting sucked, right? 
Yeah. 

170
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:09,440
That's that's the main problem 
and and the other thing is key. 

171
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,400
If if I'm Australia, what do I 
not want? 

172
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,960
I don't want England chasing on 
the 4th innings, right? 

173
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,240
I've that is an additional level
of pressure that then it's 

174
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,000
putting me on my batting team to
make sure I have a good enough 

175
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,160
total in the third innings to 
set up the. 

176
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,160
Game to bat for three times, 
yeah. 

177
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,200
Why did you decide to bat first 
three times is like what is 

178
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,520
wrong with this man? 
Like they would have Perth, 

179
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:47,920
maybe they had their bowl first.
Yeah, and. 

180
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,280
So the other thing is the other 
things about being in a cult is 

181
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,880
like suppressed criticism. 
So they are completely against 

182
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,360
any noise happening in the team.
So they don't listen to any 

183
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,400
outside criticism. 
They call the ex players has 

184
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,320
bins. 
I think specifically Michael 

185
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,840
Vaughn, Kolatha Kaiser has been 
in the first conference. 

186
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:19,280
I think referred to his 
criticism also. 

187
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,160
So. 
I don't know, I'm continuously 

188
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,200
getting confused. 
Like this could go on a lot of 

189
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,640
tangents. 
So. 

190
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,280
You have what? 
See the English media, they love

191
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,520
it when their team wins, but 
they love it even more when 

192
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,760
their team loses and they just 
get to sharpen their knives and 

193
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,600
criticize the team. 
And this is true for across 

194
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,160
sports also. 
Yes. 

195
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,080
Every time it's coming home and 
then yes, yeah. 

196
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,400
So yeah. 
So they, I mean, they, they just

197
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,440
love this. 
It's you cannot call the biggest

198
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,400
voices in your, in your media 
husbands just before you start 

199
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,080
on a tool that you've 
historically lost a lot of, 

200
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,560
right? 
That's just insane. 

201
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,600
And then the other couple ones 
are shame tactics like guilt and

202
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,360
shame are used to enforce strict
codes of conduct. 

203
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:26,680
What is the code of conduct here
for the No, no, the first code 

204
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,240
of conduct is thou shalt not 
practice more than we say. 

205
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,720
The second code of conduct is 
thou shalt play golf. 

206
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,680
The third one is going to be 
thou shalt drink a lot of beer 

207
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,640
or whatever your alcohol of 
choices with the boys. 

208
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:51,160
Yeah, that is a code of conduct.
I think legendary stories about 

209
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:58,440
old Australian and English 
cricketers like Joe, but then 

210
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:11,840
he's talking about you don't do 
it, you don't do it, David. 

211
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,840
Boone drank 52 beers on a 
flight. 

212
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:23,920
Whatever. 
But anyway, yeah, I mean, and 

213
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:30,600
also just the fact that forget, 
even though the analysis may be,

214
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:36,240
just look at the history, you 
know, you know, in fact, 

215
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:48,880
analysis carefully, like, you 
know, right, you, you know, you 

216
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,080
know, even if 10 players are 
injured, that 11th guy is going 

217
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,800
to do something or they're going
to find 10 randos from somewhere

218
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,800
who are going to come and they 
will win it for them. 

219
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:11,720
So he took two wickets in and 
over the last day. 

220
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,800
This is when Who is the perfect 
one? 

221
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,840
Day before I literally I mean I 
came to know spin dialogue from 

222
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,040
the final word where Jeff Lemon 
said that Webster will bowl them

223
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:39,560
to victory. 
Yes, all those may again, one, 

224
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,280
one good catch and one but I 
mean but. 

225
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,760
Catch the other England also 
doesn't have a fielding coach. 

226
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:59,080
Yes, like. 
That was just funny and they 

227
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,440
dropped some easy ones, right? 
Like, yeah, yeah, and very 

228
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:13,040
costly. 
Ones like his catch in the deep,

229
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:19,079
he took Alex Carey's catch, Alex
Carey who had like what? 

230
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,040
Smith had a blinder. 
Marner had two or three 

231
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,000
blinders. 
Yeah. 

232
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,080
Yeah and yeah. 
I think even even if you leave 

233
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,440
the blinders aside now look, 
it's it's more like just general

234
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,880
ethic key. 
It is going in, both of teams 

235
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,680
are going in opposite direction.
They are taking blinders and 

236
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,920
they're dropping easy ones as 
well so. 

237
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,520
I mean, what extremes? 
The worst part is at the end of 

238
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:53,280
this you can tell that there are
better younger players coming 

239
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,680
through England, especially in 
their batting then in Australia.

240
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,400
Like who is the next upcoming 
batter in Australia? 

241
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,240
But that's the thing right young
Neoga but could debut currently 

242
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,360
got 31 years pay for like and 
those 4-4 years he will just 

243
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:10,040
dominate and just retire. 
That's how it. 

244
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,080
Works, but like if you see Harry
Brooke, the talent is there and 

245
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,240
that guy Jamie Smith is also 
incredibly talented, although 

246
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:22,400
you could not say it on this 
tour, but he's he's I kind of I 

247
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,680
really like Jamie Smith. 
Bethel is definitely a good 

248
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,000
talent, although I don't know if
he will do well in the short 

249
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,600
term, like in the short to 
medium term to keep it not young

250
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,280
player call. 
You should actually let just let

251
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,400
them play in the domestic 
league. 

252
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,400
Like if you're 21, you should 
not be in a team. 

253
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,960
I I just don't think England 
should. 

254
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,600
Be I mean, yeah, he's 21 with 
like letter of recommendations 

255
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,720
from Lara and sober that all so 
that's why. 

256
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:57,080
Yeah, I I get it. 
But I mean, there is a version 

257
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,480
if you replay this tour with the
right preparation that England. 

258
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,520
Less preparation win. 
Yeah, not over preparation, just

259
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,000
required. 
Preparation. 

260
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,080
Yes. 
There is a version of this tour 

261
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,400
in which it's 32 or even like 
3-2 the other way right? 

262
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,000
Like there is a possibility. 
I think there were too many 

263
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,840
moments. 
Yeah, well, Australia was just 

264
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,520
clutch. 
Australia was just. 

265
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:23,800
Oh yeah. 
Yeah. 

266
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,320
Yeah. 
What is wrong with why? 

267
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,320
Why do they OK? 
What is wrong with Mark Wood? 

268
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,360
How fragile can a human being 
be? 

269
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:40,360
What did? 
You talk about. 

270
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:45,080
But how can you? 
She didn't play the whole 

271
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,760
summer. 
English summer Ek testament art 

272
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,960
word. 
So my point is key and this has 

273
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:59,840
been happening I think after 
2019, 2019-2020 9/23/23. 

274
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,040
So because it's been so many 
years, at least have a have a 

275
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,680
backup for him. 
Like the best case scenario is 

276
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,800
he will play two or three that 
you already knew it. 

277
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,400
But even for that you should 
have at least. 

278
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,600
And again, the other guy who 
ended up playing three and he 

279
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:31,880
was good overall, but I don't, I
have not had hopes with the wood

280
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,440
at all, just purely because he 
hardly ever plays. 

281
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,720
So what's the point of four over
the 150 KS if you're not going 

282
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,160
to bowl for the next 4 tests? 
The the point is they are trying

283
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,680
to play the last, they're always
trying to win the last battle. 

284
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,040
So last time the Boite 
Australia, may Mark Wood had a 

285
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,320
good game in Sydney, the one 
that was a draw I think. 

286
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,200
Yeah, yeah. 
Would draw together with 4.1. 

287
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:01,280
We could say draw with that. 
So yeah, that's so yeah, that's 

288
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,760
the logic. 
MATLAB 8 level P is just vibes 

289
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:06,440
right? 
Like, yeah. 

290
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,880
Yeah. 
At the end of the two, they're 

291
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,640
like, oh, we got found out, do 
you think? 

292
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,640
I mean found out like who found 
out? 

293
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:24,200
You yourself found out because 
just, I mean, giving crickets to

294
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,840
Marnus. 
And I'm pretty sure when Jamie 

295
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:37,360
Smith got out to Marnus, Yogi 
back on the back in the dressing

296
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,320
room. 
OK, TK, you tried. 

297
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,120
Yeah. 
Well done. 

298
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:43,920
That's how we roll. 
I don't think they encourage 

299
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:49,720
madness at all, I don't think. 
Like, Can you imagine? 

300
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,880
Can you imagine, like how 
insufferable madness must be 

301
00:21:53,880 --> 00:22:03,760
inside the dressing room? 
Like level of cricket, because 

302
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:09,240
this is now their sole point of 
conversation at every every 

303
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:16,000
public appearance like and and 
and and and Jamie Smith of all 

304
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,920
people had to really give that. 
I think, I think there's just so

305
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,320
many poor decisions that like 
that. 

306
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,360
That list is endless. 
Like, I mean, even with Brooke, 

307
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,160
I mean, if you look at it, you 
can't say he was playing poorly 

308
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,320
all series. 
He was playing like very 

309
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:39,720
decently well through a lot of 
these forty 50s type of knocks 

310
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,800
that he that he was having. 
It's just that Australia will 

311
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,920
like keep, we have plans for you
and we have plans for everything

312
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,920
that you do and we know that you
are going to fuck up. 

313
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,320
So we will wait for that, yeah. 
And and and that's what 

314
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,080
happened. 
But in that wait for fuck up, I 

315
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:04,040
think another like another thing
that everybody must acknowledge,

316
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,040
and I think everybody saw it, is
that is the fact that one of the

317
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,160
things about basketball is that 
they they used to early on 

318
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,000
change the length of the bowler 
by moving around the crease. 

319
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,760
So the points of contact for 
basketball visa V any other team

320
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,040
were completely different. 
And that changed with Alex Carey

321
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,960
saying TK exo Pantisca bowler, 
we know, I don't care. 

322
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,560
I'm up the stumps now. 
You guys make the mistake. 

323
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,080
I'm not doing any. 
I'm not going to allow you to 

324
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,720
move as much, be it nicer, be it
bowling and and both being very,

325
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,840
very difficult bowlers to even 
keep. 

326
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:39,840
I mean. 
Especially bowling. 

327
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,720
But bowling, like keeping up to 
bowling, is another level, by 

328
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,480
the way. 
Exactly. 

329
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:54,000
Deka, deka. 
So, yeah, so, so I think, I 

330
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,480
think another thing somebody was
saying is that when Bolin hits 

331
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,080
the deck and when when it hits 
the bat, it feels like it has 

332
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,120
hit the bat very hard. 
So imagine what is it like on 

333
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:07,200
the gloves. 
He was again Jared Oscar 

334
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,040
analysis has been like spot on. 
Through the the way he got Root 

335
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,720
in Sydney, but I don't think 
forget about, even if you look 

336
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,280
at the English Ballers 
throughout the series, I don't 

337
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,760
think they pitched that many 
balls in the same spot as Boland

338
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:27,200
did in that phase to get out. 
No, no, not at all. 

339
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,560
Are you Unka? 
Unka pitch maps? 

340
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,320
Unka pitch maps were like here 
are the bars in the area. 

341
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,040
Boland Cup pitch map was key. 
This is my go to bar. 

342
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,200
Please come here. 
Drinks are free because I got 

343
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,960
Kohli out 18 times last season 
last season, so I never pay for 

344
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,520
beer. 
Yeah, I think Boland was the one

345
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,800
who I mean, of course Mitchell 
Stark has the wickets. 

346
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,320
I mean, yeah. 
He took most of the wickets, but

347
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,280
the reason they won is because 
the second best bowler was 

348
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,440
Boland, right? 
Yeah, yeah, Across the series, 

349
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,920
even though somehow Cars has 
more wickets or does he have a 

350
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,760
similar number of wickets? 
No, no, I think. 

351
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:18,840
CARS has 26 wickets. 
Yeah, yeah, and say career ended

352
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,440
bowler and not just this. 
This is the thing, right? 

353
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,840
This is why I feel guys like 
comments and Stark see 

354
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:35,640
unnecessarily my comparison. 
But when actually videos about 

355
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:42,160
like Cricinfo and basically 
their their goal is get a 

356
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,560
batting listed Kohli, Kanavan 
and Banerjee bowling listed as 

357
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,880
the winner, right? 
No doubt and big no doubt. 

358
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,800
Dubra is probably a better 
bowler than both Stark and 

359
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,440
Cummins. 
But when it comes to having the 

360
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,200
first name on the sheet, I'll 
probably have either come into 

361
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:06,760
tag way before because these 
guys just have every like, OK, 

362
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:12,320
if Bumrah is going to pick 5 for
40, maybe Stark will pick 4 for 

363
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,840
60, but then he's also going to 
give you 3540 runs when it's 

364
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,160
absolutely needed. 
The same with Cummins. 

365
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:26,840
Primary skill go up in a 
secondary skill. 

366
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,800
If you, if you ask me, right, 
who if you give me the top 

367
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,760
bowlers like come and start, 
Bumrah and maybe a couple others

368
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,560
didn't go. 
Now see if it was between Henry 

369
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,200
and Bumrah this primary skill 
bowling year, then yes, no 

370
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,560
doubt. 
But to say that like the overall

371
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,320
impact that come in and start 
have is just another level. 

372
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,040
Which reminds me. 
Which reminds me. 

373
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:04,400
Which reminds me the last BGT in
in Australia, Cummins and. 

374
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,560
Start in Australia. 
BGTBGTBGT Bangladesh team 

375
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:17,320
Bangladesh team BGT In Australia
Cummins and Start scored more 

376
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:24,120
runs than Rohit Sharma. 
So just and here also I think I 

377
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:27,040
saw stack where they compared 
the number of balls phased. 

378
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:34,040
So bowling and Nisa had played 
more and broke and all. 

379
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,840
So see, that's that's the thing,
right. 

380
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,880
This is why This is why there it
doesn't matter if they are if 

381
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,040
people say key average age is 
35, it doesn't matter people are

382
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:51,720
in fact, it probably helps them 
as an overall international 

383
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,760
career. 
You might have not you will not 

384
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,920
be as celebrated as the 
longevity Valley career to 

385
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,880
celebrate career. 
But if you're debuting at 31 

386
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:04,200
like me, Sir, I mean, he didn't 
debut, but if you don't play a 

387
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:09,040
lot and you know you're having 
one major full series at 31, you

388
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,800
are matured already and like I 
mean, you will do well. 

389
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,920
So I. 
Mean you're far better. 

390
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,000
Placed to face. 
Yeah, exactly. 

391
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,720
Larger challenge in front of 
you, yeah. 

392
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,920
Yeah, yeah. 
So, so that it doesn't matter 

393
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,560
like they will find them. 
I mean, they'll keep finding 

394
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,680
these 20 or 30 year olds every 
4-5 years. 

395
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:36,400
So I don't I I mean, if anybody 
problem Handy did not commentary

396
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,600
who after this, who after that, 
these guys can just go on a 

397
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,000
series basis and they'll find 
people. 

398
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,560
I mean, OK, but I think 
Australia needs 3 batters at 

399
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,720
least in the next year that they
need next couple of years that 

400
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,160
they need to come up someone who
is an understudy for Steve Smith

401
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,640
because he's going to retire, 
whether or it is not nowhere 

402
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,720
near good enough. 
I think to be an opener. 

403
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,400
At least Mujini Lagda, he also 
got found out pretty quickly. 

404
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,720
Like, OK, when you don't bowl 
short and wide to him, he he 

405
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,360
might get out. 
And Kuwaja is gone right now. 

406
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:18,000
So they need so they have Josh 
Inglis coming through that that 

407
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,520
is there. 
But yeah, yeah. 

408
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,000
For Cameron Green, which are in 
Italy batting positions. 

409
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:31,600
Yeah, but again, I think so. 
See, they've already shown, 

410
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:36,400
although in front of like 
idiotic England, but at least at

411
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,000
home these guys were who you 
were saying incorrect 

412
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,760
replacement. 
They anyway didn't perform and 

413
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,840
they won without them, right. 
So at home not that a problem 

414
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:51,400
even when you're going away like
other than South Africa, I don't

415
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,080
smell up where exactly you want 
to find out. 

416
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,400
I mean, where exactly you will 
be lacking these players because

417
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,640
in the end of the day, England 
again, they like shooting 

418
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,120
themselves in the foot even at 
home. 

419
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,800
So and again, because of all the
other factors, I don't think 

420
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,440
they're going to have a problem.
I mean, they're not like they're

421
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:17,960
not going to go to West Indies 
that often. 

422
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,120
They're not going to go to Sri 
Danka that often. 

423
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,240
So that's true. 
So basically they just want to 

424
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,800
have someone for English summer 
and maybe for India home cities.

425
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:34,720
So yeah, I think they have bowl 
and I don't see why he won't be 

426
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,680
around for the next couple of 
years, even though he's older 

427
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:41,240
than Stark. 
Stark is Stark is taking care of

428
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,080
his body. 
Yeah, I don't. 

429
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,720
Yeah. 
And he's still like, he's 

430
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,680
getting better. 
Like it's just. 

431
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,240
And his pace is also not. 
Going around guys in Stark's 

432
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,520
family, he's not even the best 
athlete. 

433
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:07,840
Yeah, yeah, I'm like. 
No pressure on the kids at all. 

434
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:26,120
Yeah, so Stark was really good. 
I think Travis had. 2024 T 20 

435
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:31,600
World Cup for last year K 
Bangladesh team that is BG team 

436
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:49,000
finished under 20 average and at
a strike rate of 29.64. 

437
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,600
And you see these people also 
even he took an excellent cotton

438
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,120
board. 
Even I think Nisar also took her

439
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,880
an excellent quarter. 
Like why anarchy these people? 

440
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,760
They also its not just the line 
line, but half chances Kobe, 

441
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,960
they just somehow convert and 
again Iska Koi. 

442
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,400
There's no data that can prove 
this right, but there is data 

443
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,240
that will show you that this 
team does it more than others. 

444
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,240
Yeah, like why it happens? 
Nobody knows, but yeah. 

445
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,800
There is a story that Nasser 
Hussain talks about where I 

446
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,040
think after he lost to Steve 
Wall in one of the Ashes, they 

447
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,800
sit down for a beer. 
At the end of like, the series, 

448
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,600
both the teams are supposed to 
have beers together and talk. 

449
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:40,000
And, you know, he sits and he's 
there, like discussing why one 

450
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,280
team does better than the other.
And Steve Wall uses his mind 

451
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,000
game nonsense and says, you 
know, we just wanted more than 

452
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,600
you guys, right? 
And I think that that was not 

453
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,920
true before. 
Yeah, I think that's the thing. 

454
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,120
Yeah, yeah. 
It feels like it's true now, 

455
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:04,000
like it doesn't seem like the 
English team is working towards 

456
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,480
a goal that they want to 
achieve. 

457
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,280
Like it seems like they just 
want to have fun. 

458
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,920
Can someone share their screen 
and play this? 

459
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,960
You'll have to click on audio as
well. 

460
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:21,400
Wait, Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Hey, where is the share screen 

461
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:22,400
option? 
I don't see it. 

462
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:28,160
Share. 
OK, desktop with audio as an 

463
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:33,680
option, Share sound. 
Yeah, I'll have to bring it up 

464
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,480
here now. 
OK, it's there, my wife said. 

465
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,160
If you win. 
We'll. 

466
00:33:46,280 --> 00:34:05,760
Fly to Asia, if I win we'll play
YouTube which is to push up. 

467
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:23,120
To believe as a fast bowler Test
match bro is close to 

468
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:39,800
impossible. 
Of soch kya medical Staffs rub 

469
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:52,679
down the mobilization. 
Yogi mobilization. 

470
00:34:55,239 --> 00:35:06,400
Mobilization. 
The thing is I believe him. 

471
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,480
Like I don't think he's making 
it. 

472
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,320
I don't I don't think he's 
making it up. 

473
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:19,640
Mobile, mobile oil mobilization.
This is not Kapil Sharma show 

474
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:25,720
guys. 
This is shows after experience. 

475
00:35:27,880 --> 00:36:41,320
97. 
And also I don't think. 

476
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,320
The Jiming that he's saying, I 
don't think they do that like. 

477
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,040
Yeah, they're famously not 
allowed to build up. 

478
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,800
Their chest, yeah. 
Muscles. 

479
00:36:53,840 --> 00:37:00,120
Yeah, I mean, that makes sense 
obviously, but but feeling 

480
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:11,240
sometimes. 
But I got the message. 

481
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,720
Reading a book on Shoaib Akhtar 
is like eating tiramisu in a 

482
00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:25,440
chewing gum form. 
That's not how you experience 

483
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:39,360
Shoaib, my God. 
I think I watched that clip at 

484
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,880
least seven times. 
Yeah, just very funny. 

485
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:47,120
There are quite a few Shoaib 
clips like that. 

486
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,200
The only the only thing I don't 
didn't agree with was why are 

487
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,400
you hating on like because he's 
I mean, I get from a very like 

488
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,480
why not like beast, but just and
Pele came. 

489
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,360
But take another second when 
they come to maybe there's an 

490
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,400
ultimate club. 
There's a feeling that Australia

491
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,160
should be hated, but why they 
are. 

492
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,480
They're just pretty good. 
Just enjoy them. 

493
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,840
Yeah, they're not the same 
Australia as before. 

494
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,040
I feel like this is not Ricky 
Ponting Australia. 

495
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,680
This is not even like pre 
sandpaper Australia. 

496
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,280
Yeah, no. 
Even back then. 

497
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:30,800
But see that's because Usana 
hate Karnataka. 

498
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,360
Primary reason they used to win,
right? 

499
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:38,280
Yeah, when you develop 
understanding and then you 

500
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,720
realize the jobi are the 
problems team. 

501
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,440
But this is not an. 
Because they win, yeah, Yeah. 

502
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:47,720
And that's fine. 
Yeah. 

503
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:49,520
This is not an unbeatable team. 
Yeah. 

504
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,760
Even their sledging is kind of 
cute. 

505
00:38:54,880 --> 00:39:00,360
I don't think there's no 
sledging really. 

506
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:05,440
It's basically now annoying. 
The funniest thing like this is 

507
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,880
a reflection of how the team 
really is, is because Nathan 

508
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,240
Lyon was dropped for the second 
test, the pink ball test. 

509
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:14,880
And, you know, he was allowed to
give an interview where he said 

510
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:15,840
he was filthy. 
Yeah. 

511
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,360
So in the next 3 when he was 
selected like Alex, Kerry called

512
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:27,640
him Phil because he was filthy. 
That's like, that's a clear 

513
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,720
sign, Yeah, that's a clear sign 
that they are just enjoying it 

514
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:35,240
so much. 
Yeah, I, I like watching them. 

515
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:37,640
I think their batting is 
brittle. 

516
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,640
But you know, I've said this 
before, Cummins is one of my 

517
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,240
most favorite players and he had
a great series. 

518
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:49,040
He just played one game, won the
Ashes, and then it's like, OK. 

519
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,800
And then did a John Terry. 
Then did a John Terry came full 

520
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,240
kit to pick up the. 
Ashes as well. 

521
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,000
That's right. 
Oh yeah. 

522
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:05,080
But. 
After that Melbourne Test he 

523
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,160
played, he's like, yeah, I'm not
going to turn up on the other 

524
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:12,240
two Tests. 
He turned up in the commentary 

525
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,120
box for the final Test. 
I mean, why not? 

526
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,400
After a while, this was like a 
joke was it was a joke like 

527
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:30,160
could we? 
And they'll play, they'll win 

528
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,400
also. 
They'll just, they're just too 

529
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,560
good, man. 
Yeah. 

530
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,960
And helped by the fact that the 
other team was just stupidity 

531
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:44,320
after stupidity after stupidity.
There, there is, there is 

532
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,120
something to be said for the 
final interview, like the final 

533
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:52,440
day kind of view that Nasser 
Hussain had of Basmakalam where 

534
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,160
he asked him, oh, are you going 
to change? 

535
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,000
Like are you going to adjust the
philosophy? 

536
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,400
Basmakalam is like no. 
Hello, I'm offended. 

537
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,960
I am offended by that. 
Good luck. 

538
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,440
It's too much like it's too 
cultish. 

539
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:21,920
And you know, I mean, again, 
who's touring them this time? 

540
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,760
Will it be South Africa? 
Yeah, South Africa? 

541
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,200
No, they are touring South 
Africa and New Zealand is 

542
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,760
touring Australia next summer 
for four Tests. 

543
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,800
No, no, I don't think anyone is 
touring. 

544
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,480
English summer South. 
Africa. 

545
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,520
Yeah, yeah, South Africa, I 
think October, they're not 

546
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,840
paying any tests. 
Yeah, because South Africa. 

547
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,440
Is touring. 
Building their state, their 

548
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,120
stadiums for the World Cup? 
Yeah, they are. 

549
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,560
Preparing. 
Oh yeah. 

550
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,280
Yeah. 
Even Women's T20 World Cup 

551

tickets, like more than 100 days
out there, they are available, 

552
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:03,160

557
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:24,560
What do you mean that you can 
plan to go to a stadium so. 

558
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:26,960
Who's who's touring them? 
Who's touring them? 

559
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:32,160
I'm I'm just marveled by the 
fact here tickets, I'm bothered 

560
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,680
about who's touring them. 
Three Tests. 

561
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,640
New Zealand. 
New Zealand, OK. 

562
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,000
Three Tests. 
Three Tests. 

563
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,960
Pakistan. 
Very nice. 

564
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:50,960
Three tests. 
Pakistan also actually that will

565
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,480
be again, trash versus trash. 
Are they going to play Mohammed 

566
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,600
Harris? 
Is Pakistan going to play 

567
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,240
Mohammed Harris? 
The most successful? 

568
00:42:58,240 --> 00:43:00,160
England. 
England might. 

569
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:01,400
England will. 
England might. 

570
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,200
That's. 
True God. 

571
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,800
His county I don't think is 
planning to play him anymore. 

572
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,840
Yeah. 
Did he didn't he just switch 

573
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:16,200
counties as well? 
If you switch them, maybe that's

574
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,800
fine because the. 
But he's also like 37 now, 

575
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,800
right? 
So at Max he can, he's just 

576
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,280
going to be like what, one or 
two series for whichever team? 

577
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,760
Oh, that's true, yeah. 
Maybe he's even older. 

578
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,360
So any any final thoughts on the
Ashes? 

579
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,960
Jallikarak Ketan, Buji Kodani 
Jallikarak Ketan But. 

580
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:46,360
Butchering that. 
Just like, just like they were 

581
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,440
butchered. 
I butchered this dialogue. 

582
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:56,360
To be honest, I was very 
disappointed till till the 1st 

583
00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:03,200
Test. 
Exciting work but I knew it 

584
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,560
won't be. 
England were never going to win 

585
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:10,320
it. 
But I thought or, you know, to 

586
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:15,680
fight just like or Jeeta Vitam 
concert is when after like 

587
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,520
Boxing Day, when like your 
opponents were probably just 

588
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,520
they were filled with like cake 
and alcohol. 

589
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,400
Wobi Wobi though didn't it was 
the third day? 

590
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,680
Third day what they got with 
Turkey. 

591
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,840
Just landed in Melbourne. 
Looking forward to my first full

592
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,640
Ashes experience. 
Of course it was satire. 

593
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:42,320
Yeah. 
I do want to talk about drinking

594
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,640
culture, right? 
Like they go, you can you can 

595
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,800
drink, but it affects your 
recovery. 

596
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,960
OK, it affects it dehydrates 
you. 

597
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:58,040
It causes a higher buildup of 
lactic acid and a higher 

598
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,480
propensity for cramps and 
fitness and in general, if 

599
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:06,160
you're. 
But it gives you vibes according

600
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,360
to them. 
I mean, I'm not saying go drink.

601
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:14,120
I will say there is like a, 
there is a point where OK, you 

602
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:18,240
can drink to, you know, do some 
team building to open up, like 

603
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:20,760
to get that feeling of unity 
amongst your team members. 

604
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,760
But they say Nayar, it takes 
away from experience like you 

605
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,120
will. 
You will see even Mitchell Stark

606
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,880
did not drink till the end of 
the series, right? 

607
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,080
Yeah, I mean that's why he 
played all 5 tests the way he 

608
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:34,880
did. 
So it's. 

609
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,640
Yeah. 
Ben Stokes It's a given. 

610
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,720
It's a given You can't. 
Famously earlier last year in 

611
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:45,400
2025, he said, Ki bhai, you 
know, I have stopped drinking. 

612
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,080
I'm going to lose weight so that
I can bolt. 

613
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,200
And I was like, wait, your 
drinking was hampering your 

614
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,880
ability to bowl and you hadn't 
stopped it until now. 

615
00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:58,000
Like, what is what is what is 
wrong with him? 

616
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:03,080
Like, yeah. 
And that's the thing, right? 

617
00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:08,120
Most stereotype have British but
you are professional 

618
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,560
sportsperson you you can do 
this. 

619
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,480
You're getting millions of 
pounds. 

620
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,240
Yeah. 
To to not drink and to keep your

621
00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:23,200
body in good shape and fighting 
with the bouncer at 3:00 AM. 

622
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:24,200
Before. 
Yeah, exactly what? 

623
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,520
The hell is wrong with him? 
I mean, not just drinking, but 

624
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:37,640
just like, I mean basically like
forget about being shouldn't be 

625
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,760
even allowed near the team. 
He's the vice captain. 

626
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:46,400
So, but I skip yeah. 
You know. 

627
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,480
English Captain. 
Yoga, 2027. 

628
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:54,840
Yeah, English people should 
basically be grumpy and annoyed 

629
00:46:54,840 --> 00:47:01,480
all the time and drink not for 
fun but for like, tolerating 

630
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,880
things. 
Why are these people doing the 

631
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:18,040
exact opposite? 
Like even that I mean that that 

632
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:25,760
small incident I think says a 
lot Like he was having breakfast

633
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:32,120
and award of cash flew all 
around the restaurant and like 

634
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,400
journalists and people, 
everybody else had to pick up 

635
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,400
all the cash and give it back to
him like. 

636
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:41,600
See this is the difference, 
right? 

637
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,360
First of all, first of all, 
first of all, I would like to go

638
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,480
on a tangent but like to say who
carries cash? 

639
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,960
Maybe as an Indian citizen with 
UPI, I want to know who carries 

640
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,320
cash. 
Nobody carries cash. 

641
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,920
Yeah, nobody carries cash. 
Australia. 

642
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,800
You remember that story about 
Shane Warne Cash? 

643
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:08,600
Like that's the thing, right? 
That see, there are persons who 

644
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,800
can pull it off and there are 
you. 

645
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,520
So then then don't do that 
please. 

646
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:21,080
Warne was one of one. 
I don't think they realize it. 

647
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:26,360
They realize that and then 
that's the difference now. 

648
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:36,000
So yeah. 
So Ash's review got behind. 

649
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:43,960
OK, stop. 
Stop because I have not. 

650
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,800
I haven't made any. 
OK, OK. 

651
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,880
So we can do it later also if 
you want. 

652
00:48:55,720 --> 00:48:59,440
Either way. 
Unless like, unless like we can 

653
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:03,640
do highlights like and. 
What are our thoughts, initial 

654
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,440
thoughts and? 
Let's do a review of the table 

655
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,480
and whether you're buying or 
selling. 

656
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,080
Oh, buying or selling and why? 
OK, let's do it. 

657
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,200
This section of the podcast is 
our WPL review. 

658
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,600
It is in depth because we have 
watched each and every game, 

659
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:25,880
each and every ball, and this is
not based on all the things we 

660
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,080
just spoke about the English 
cricket team. 

661
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:33,320
This is not based on vibes. 
There is serious data analysis 

662
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,360
that has gone behind this 
segment. 

663
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,880
Mutual fund investments are 
subject to market risks. 

664
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,080
Read all Scheme related 
documents carefully. 

665
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,560
That's funny. 
What do you mean edit? 

666
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:12,120
What is editing? 
Nishant, why do you continue to 

667
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,360
watch? 
Pointless bilaterals No, I was 

668
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:19,640
watching that ask Hey Nina. 
So Abhi last two days I didn't 

669
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,880
follow first match May the 
moment Jadeja got out I was 

670
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:28,560
like, yeah, so I don't share. 
I wanted I wanted Kohli to miss 

671
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,920
a century and then and then 
yeah, because now they've lost 

672
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,800
the 2. 
So that's that's the incentive. 

673
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:40,120
But now that I'm also in a 
favorable time zone, yeah, I 

674
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,720
will watch it. 
Nice. 

675
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,240
Very cool. 
So what? 

676
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,680
Let's do you want to start at 
the bottom of the table? 

677
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,960
Envy. 
I would like to start at the 

678
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:57,080
bottom of the table. 
So at the bottom. 

679
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:01,880
Screen share. 
So the ESPN website famously 

680
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:03,880
doesn't work on my laptop. 
I don't know. 

681
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:04,760
So I have. 
What? 

682
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,600
In front of me? 
OK, let me see. 

683
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:13,560
By the way, the ESPN app, it has
game board which gives you a 

684
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:18,600
really good quality detailed 
statistical analysis of the 

685
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,800
game. 
And it's been really, it's been 

686
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,080
really cool to follow along with
game board. 

687
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,840
I might just have to download 
the app again like the hundred 

688
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:29,960
time. 
Yeah, so. 

689
00:51:31,240 --> 00:51:34,200
That's weird. 
Yeah, you changed my click info 

690
00:51:34,240 --> 00:51:40,800
as well. 
A lot of issues loading. 

691
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:48,680
It's it opened but ekto again. 
For some weird reason WPL is not

692
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,640
among the first two suggestions.
So when I tried to expand the 

693
00:51:53,640 --> 00:52:00,320
window, the site is not working.
That's just anyway, yeah. 

694
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,840
Is it WPLD 20.com? 
Big buzz I think is probably 

695
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,080
better WPLD 20 dot. 
Of course. 

696
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,960
Yeah. 
I mean, I thought official at 2 

697
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,360
points. 
OK, I got it. 

698
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:20,840
I can also share if you want. 
So DCR at the bottom. 

699
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,280
Yeah, DCR at the bottom. 
Yeah. 

700
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,680
So they did start with the 
opening combination of Lizel and

701
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:30,320
Shefali that we really wanted 
to. 

702
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:36,560
But I think until the last game 
when Shefali played a great 

703
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,400
innings by the way. 
And you know, moved around in 

704
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,400
her crease a lot, used her 
crease really well. 

705
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:48,400
And she she had a really good 
fighting knock when DC went 

706
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,080
super hard in the power play and
lost like 4 wickets. 

707
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,520
But yeah, that game, I think if 
we start with the game against 

708
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,560
RCB, there was DC had no 
business being in this game 

709
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,800
after remaining in this game 
after the power play. 

710
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:07,080
And I think the issues that we 
saw with DC was I don't see, I 

711
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,880
don't quite see the bowling like
Nandini Sharma has come in and 

712
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,880
done really well. 
But I'm not saying it like they 

713
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:18,240
need cap to take 3 wickets in a 
free power play to have any 

714
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:22,600
chance of winning games. 
And it's it's really scary. 

715
00:53:23,240 --> 00:53:26,320
I feel like the statement is 
going to struggle even in the in

716
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:30,480
the second leg because Abito dy 
part of my hair, which we 

717
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:34,160
thought would suit them a little
bit more, but and I don't know. 

718
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,040
And they're not even playing 
Alana King, which is. 

719
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:41,880
Why, Yeah, that's another thing.
Like what is stopping them? 

720
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:46,440
Like do they already have a like
spinner they have? 

721
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,960
Yeah, they they are playing for 
foreigners to they aren't able 

722
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:53,720
to. 
I mean. 

723
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:58,200
Finger in. 
But OK, I mean, so did they make

724
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:03,320
a mistake at the auction table? 
Yeah, I kind of think so. 

725
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,160
I don't think. 
I mean, they have so. 

726
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:07,920
Go ahead. 
Go ahead. 

727
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:14,920
So they had. 
So they bought Chanel Henry and 

728
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,880
Lucy Hamilton were both all 
rounders, although I think Lucy 

729
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:20,560
Hamilton they bought for her 
bowling. 

730
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,440
Lucy Hamilton just played her 
first game recently, so you 

731
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,120
can't really expect too much 
from her right away. 

732
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,640
And she's she's very young. 
This is her first WPL. 

733
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,480
I think the problem is like they
have Lazelle Lee and they have 

734
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,960
Blvd. and they have Maris and 
Cap, right? 

735
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:42,760
So these are three players who 
they absolutely need and that 

736
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,760
means there's only one slot 
left. 

737
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:49,000
So based on whether they need 
more fast bowling, because they 

738
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:52,880
don't have any domestic fast 
bowling other than I guess 

739
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,880
Nandini Sharma now. 
So they don't have any good 

740
00:54:55,880 --> 00:55:00,240
reliable fast bowling from their
domestic players. 

741
00:55:00,240 --> 00:55:04,400
So they need to play like some 
kind of fast bowler or slash all

742
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:08,360
rounder in the fourth spot. 
And so far they've played Chanel

743
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:12,680
Henry and they've played Lucy 
Hamilton for one game and I 

744
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,400
think that means that there's 
not been any space for Alana 

745
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,440
King, which I think more than 
anything they need a strike 

746
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,680
bowler. 
I think their problems are 

747
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:24,400
compounded by the fact she, Lucy
Hamilton, came in for this one 

748
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,680
game and did well while batting.
Correct. 

749
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:33,160
She had a 36 of 19 so now they 
are in a bit of a mess. 

750
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,360
I think their only chance is to 
drop Lizzle Lee, as much as I 

751
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:41,000
hate that, and you know, bring 
in a domestic keeper and bring 

752
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:45,720
in Alana King. 
That's that's the only way I see

753
00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:47,640
it. 
Have I see them recovering So 

754
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,600
even though they're at the 
bottom? 

755
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,680
There, there's been bowling more
games to go, right. 

756
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:59,080
So I mean, one, if one leg is 
not worked, it's not worked. 

757
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:03,400
So it's worth doing that. 
The problem is there's spin 

758
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:08,880
bowling hasn't worked at all. 
Like all three spinners have 

759
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:13,280
struggled, Sri Charani, Minumani
and Snehra now. 

760
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,760
Sri Charani has been a bit up 
and down. 

761
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,640
I don't think, like, I mean, 
she's better in a slightly 

762
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,680
longer format. 
I think she'll figure it out 

763
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:27,160
before the end of this season. 
She'll figure out how to bowl 

764
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:31,240
against some of like how to set 
up bowling when you have like a 

765
00:56:31,240 --> 00:56:34,800
much, much smaller spells that 
you do than you do in ODIs. 

766
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:39,680
But Sneh Rana was never going to
be like your strike bowler and 

767
00:56:39,720 --> 00:56:42,680
Minu. 
Minu was really good last year. 

768
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:47,720
Minu was really good last year, 
but again, like very in like a 

769
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,960
more she's more defensive, 
right, as a bowler. 

770
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:54,680
So that's that. 
Yeah, I think we. 

771
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:58,760
Need Jimmy to come up with the 
goods because that middle order 

772
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:02,440
is not giving as many runs as 
it's required because that puts 

773
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:06,480
too much pressure on Nikki 
Prasad and the others down the 

774
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,840
order. 
Just like it happened yesterday 

775
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,000
at when Lucy Hamilton had to 
score runs and. 

776
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:17,920
Yeah, I think players like Nikki
Prasad who are so early in their

777
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:22,080
career, they need, they need a 
little bit of a platform so that

778
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,320
they can feel free enough to 
play their more natural game. 

779
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,880
I'm not sure, but yeah, it's not
it's not looking great on the 

780
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,840
upside, like Shefali looked so 
good in the last game. 

781
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,600
She even I think she bought. 
Did she bring out a reverse 

782
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,320
sweep? 
Oh, she didn't switch it. 

783
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,200
Yeah. 
And I was like, wow, that is 

784
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,480
that like, I haven't seen 
Shefali do that before. 

785
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,040
That was a new shot. 
So she's added some more 

786
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,880
dimensions to her game, which is
which is awesome. 

787
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,000
So instead of just playing 
straight down, which you you've 

788
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,480
seen Shefali just hit smack 
everything straight down the 

789
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,120
ground. 
She's now trying to find more 

790
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,160
areas to score. 
And yeah, it's, it's awesome to 

791
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:04,280
see that. 
But yeah, it's not been, it's 

792
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,560
been a little bit sad. 
Like more than anything, they 

793
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:11,280
look a little bit sad. 
Are you buying or selling? 

794
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:18,280
I am selling because I don't 
know if they take away Lizel and

795
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:22,320
bring in Tanya. 
I Tanya hasn't batted for like 

796
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,480
years though. 
It's at this level. 

797
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,480
So I, I think that's only going 
to make their batting more 

798
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,440
shaky. 
And I don't, I don't know, like 

799
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,280
they have to change a lot to do 
well. 

800
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,120
So I'm I'm selling Delhi. 
Yeah, same. 

801
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,880
I don't see this. 
I mean, unless they can play 

802
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:45,720
party poopers to a lot of teams 
and they play they were yeah, 

803
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:50,360
they they essentially play MIRCB
and GG, which is the top three 

804
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:55,800
right, right after this and only
UPS like right at the end who 

805
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,360
are on the up because they won 
their last two games. 

806
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:06,000
Which brings us to UP Warriors. 
What did you think of UPS season

807
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,960
so far? 
I thought it was very, very odd 

808
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:16,040
because like the oddest thing is
like they randomly won two games

809
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:20,880
back-to-back versus MI, but lost
to everybody else. 

810
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:27,400
And I mean, they are the only 
team like that DC have beaten as

811
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,920
well, right? 
And I and they're, they're still

812
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:37,400
like, see, this is my problem 
with cricket in general, I mean.

813
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,240
Can I ask a non cricketing 
question here? 

814
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:44,000
Not related to not related to 
this specific team. 

815
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,080
Not that not that. 
I'm just saying. 

816
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,920
Why do only three IPL franchises
have the men's team? 

817
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,160
Is it not? 
Is it not in their? 

818
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,520
Constitution. 
Sorry, sorry. 

819
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,000
IPL team was just asked to 
release one of the players. 

820
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:22,120
And and if I may add, if I may 
add, we did a full podcast on 

821
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,480
it. 
And then that that I know I was 

822
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:29,680
just you may wonder what you 
know the category why why not 

823
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,120
have why is it called up? 
What is not LSD? 

824
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:35,120
Women. 
OK, Nishant, I'll, I'll answer 

825
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:36,560
this. 
I'll answer this very very. 

826
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,960
Easy, I know. 
Any such questions? 

827
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:43,000
If you have any such questions 
about anything that happens in 

828
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:51,120
India, remember that my answer 
will always be the normal There 

829
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:56,800
is no incentive to have a 
women's team at all. 

830
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:02,160
So the three franchises that 
have it are basically also. 

831
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:08,200
So okay am I? 
I can understand RCBV and DC is 

832
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,800
the odd one actually because DC 
isn't really that popular IPL 

833
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:13,360
franchise. 
No, that's good. 

834
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,600
But they are. 
They are like backers of sport 

835
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:20,200
now, like the Jindals run sports
foundations all across the 

836
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,160
country. 
So, so from that lens and it's 

837
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,880
good that they have. 
It's good on them. 

838
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,320
It's yeah. 
Let's. 

839
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,920
Sorry you guys were. 
Talking about all of these 

840
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:35,320
questions, I think the solution 
in India is we should question 

841
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,520
Shahrukh like that. 
That is a really important 

842
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:39,400
thing. 
Yeah, exactly. 

843
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,480
I think on this podcast we must 
question why does KKR not have a

844
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,040
women's team? 
Yes. 

845
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,840
Is Shahrukh Khan not a feminist?
Is Shahrukh Khan against women? 

846
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,680
Is Shahrukh Khan's religion a 
factor? 

847
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:03,480
It is always. 
A factor. 

848
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:10,080
To Shahrukh Khan say push nage 
bad, then let's go to North 

849
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:15,240
Srinivasan, who's famously big 
supporter of women's sport. 

850
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,400
He's the diversity champion. 
Yes. 

851
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:27,280
I mean, when I say diversity 
champion, I would urge the 

852
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:30,320
listeners to go and read what he
has done to his own kid. 

853
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:35,080
So yeah, there's that. 
Anyways, we were talking about 

854
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,840
UP warriors. 
So UP, warriors. 

855
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,760
I am buying. 
Yeah, I'm buying. 

856
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:48,920
Because I'm buying. 
I want to know what this team 

857
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,360
does next. 
They're the most exciting team 

858
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,960
they were. 
They completely revamped their 

859
01:02:54,960 --> 01:03:00,120
squad and brought in like a lot 
of super exciting players and 

860
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:04,440
you know, Phoebe Lichfield has 
started doing well on the back 

861
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:09,120
of a couple of catches, but I. 
And and Mccanning. 

862
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:19,320
Don't forget Mccanning. 
Who did this? 

863
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:28,840
Ranjit Goenka. 
So I was, I showed my husband a 

864
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:32,040
shot that Phoebe Lichfield 
played, which was another switch

865
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,280
hit. 
And he's like bad with the 

866
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:40,680
spring hair. 
There is no better player of the

867
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:42,720
Switch hit than Phoebe 
Litchfield. 

868
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,040
Tell me you are a Millennium 
without telling me you are a 

869
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,360
Millennium. 
Accuse an Aussie of having a 

870
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:54,480
spring in his bat. 
Yeah, basically he's like, 

871
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,680
there's no way that she can 
generate enough power to hit 

872
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,080
that without a spring in her 
back. 

873
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,920
Can you, Can you imagine, like 
if Phoebe Litchfield played 

874
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,680
tennis, how hard her backhand 
would be? 

875
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,680
Yeah. 
Ferocious like. 

876
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:13,520
Yeah, I'm not playing any of 
these Aussie all rounders in any

877
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:17,320
sport. 
That's that's a rule. 

878
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:26,680
But I wanted to know if if there
is anything you wanted to say 

879
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,160
about Harleen Deol's retiring 
out? 

880
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:35,800
Harleen Deol was pissed pissed. 
As helpful her ugly management, 

881
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:40,320
she brought up a strike and won 
the game so well. 

882
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:48,880
I was mighty impressed with 
Abhishek Nair like inspiring 

883
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:53,080
Harleen Deol to win win the next
couple of games for them. 

884
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:58,640
So I'll just notice something on
the WPL website to my Inca 

885
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:02,320
squad. 
Up Warriors, up warriors, right?

886
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:05,800
Yeah. 
So they don't have any specific 

887
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:09,480
bowlers in case batters, all 
rounders and keeper. 

888
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,120
That's it. 
And why do they have only one 

889
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:16,000
keeper? 
So this is this is the problem, 

890
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:19,160
right? 
So they, they used to have Healy

891
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:24,400
and they didn't, they don't bid 
for her famously for whatever 

892
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:30,040
reason. 
I think they're bowling is it's 

893
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:36,560
it's probably not suitable for 
Devay Patil because I think just

894
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:39,240
before the last Mumbai game, I 
had done the analysis that their

895
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:44,640
highest wicket taker was Shikha 
Pandey with three wickets, which

896
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,360
I think maybe Karanthi has 
probably overtaken. 

897
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,920
Mumbai it's still it's still 
Shikapandi it's still Shikapandi

898
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:57,200
2 two more in the second MI. 
Yeah, which is really different 

899
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:02,120
from Mumbai, for example, who 
Amelia Kaur has taken 18 wickets

900
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,080
or something like ridiculous. 
Yeah. 

901
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,400
So some ridiculously high 
numbers. 

902
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:11,680
So I think Iyanka next round 
when they go to Vadodara, it 

903
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:16,400
should improve some of some of 
the bowling figures because they

904
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:19,960
have Ecclestone, they have 
Dipti, they have Asha Shobhana 

905
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,240
and I think that between the 
three of them they should be 

906
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,480
able to do a reasonably good 
job. 

907
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:30,280
But yeah, they they bet on 
Shweta Serawat, who's a rookie, 

908
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:34,960
who's batted decently well and 
who batted OK last year. 

909
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,720
But I did not think that her 
performance last year meant that

910
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:39,480
she would be the sole wicket 
keeper. 

911
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:43,920
But apparently she's she's done 
a lot of work in the offseason 

912
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,840
and I know the first game. 
Charlie not. 

913
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,320
She's done pretty. 
Well, I mean, I mean, she's the 

914
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,840
wicket keeper, right? 
I is is Sharavan the wicket 

915
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:54,760
keeper? 
Saravan. 

916
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,480
Is the captain? 
Oh, so she's keeping right now? 

917
01:06:58,000 --> 01:06:58,480
OK. 
Yeah, yeah. 

918
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,120
Charlie not is not a wicket 
keeper. 

919
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:04,560
I think she's a. 
Yeah, and what she's not. 

920
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:05,800
Interesting. 
Yeah. 

921
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:12,680
OK, so then I found I found a 
bug on the website then anyway, 

922
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:15,000
yeah. 
By EA normal. 

923
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:22,560
That's a noun to say like, at 
least from what I can 

924
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:26,160
understand. 
No, I I like them. 

925
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,400
They're fun. 
They have Meg Lanning, I think 

926
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:32,120
they'll do well. 
And you know, Phoebe 

927
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:34,520
Litchfield's doing a good job on
the reels as well. 

928
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:40,280
So I think, yeah, I'm buying UP.
Yeah, yeah, I'm buying UP. 

929
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:45,640
Only time you will hear on this 
politically leaning podcast that

930
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:49,320
we are buying UPI. 
Think somebody needs to buy UPI.

931
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,880
Think it's better? 
I think it's not bought already.

932
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:56,640
No, somebody better needs to buy
UPI. 

933
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:00,480
Mean the weakest *** the Ambani 
Dani. 

934
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,320
Oh, not that podcast. 
Again, again, again, not that 

935
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,000
podcast. 
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, 

936
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:09,920
sorry, sorry, sorry. 
I keep missing this point. 

937
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:12,760
So are you buying them or 
selling? 

938
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,000
I'm buying, I'm buying up. 
OK. 

939
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:21,840
Next is Gigi. 
Gigi's interesting. 

940
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,920
They've been up and down. 
Their form now is like they're 

941
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:29,240
coming on the back of two 
losses, which was strange. 

942
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:34,560
I don't know if I'm. 
I'm probably holding Gigi. 

943
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:38,840
I don't know if I'm buying or 
selling them necessarily because

944
01:08:39,399 --> 01:08:43,560
if you look at them, their last,
So what was it they find they 

945
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:48,560
lost to? 
They lost to RCB, which was 

946
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:52,080
really, they have a good batting
line up. 

947
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:54,760
So they have Sophie Devine, 
who's the MVP of the entire 

948
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:58,080
tournament pretty much, right? 
Sophie Devine when Sophie 

949
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,000
Devine's batting, when she's 
bowling whatever, She's just 

950
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:05,760
been a rock star. 
But Beth Mooney is also done 

951
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,319
well in a few games. 
I think that middle order looks 

952
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:13,640
looks very shaky, which means 
like they they're really they're

953
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:17,680
probably more reliant on their 
openers than others, right. 

954
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:19,880
What what were your thoughts and
we? 

955
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:27,520
I think they will require that 
that Hartiful Mali to probably 

956
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:35,279
score more runs in the coming 
games and not depend on Georgia 

957
01:09:35,279 --> 01:09:37,880
Verum as much as they are 
depending for her batting. 

958
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:42,000
Yeah. 
Otherwise they were always meant

959
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:45,479
to be like somewhere in the mid 
table and they are there. 

960
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:50,240
I think they'll continue to, 
they'll continue to be there 

961
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:57,320
much to the delight of Dave. 
And their next game is versus 

962
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,520
RCB. 
So that probably just. 

963
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:04,400
Played RCB. 
I mean, this is the tournament 

964
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:06,760
where everything happens 
randomly, so. 

965
01:10:08,480 --> 01:10:13,560
Yeah, that's right. 
So Gigi, I don't know what to 

966
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:18,000
make of them. 
Like you're the kind of let I 

967
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:25,600
they let Radha Yadav come like 
put together an RCB come back in

968
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:29,000
that game. 
And I feel like like that's that

969
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,800
is I'm not sure what to make of 
it. 

970
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:37,640
Like, I don't know if it was if 
it was bad bowling tactics, just

971
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:40,800
not trying enough things or, you
know, dropping catches at the 

972
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:45,120
wrong moments. 
And, you know, I feel like that 

973
01:10:45,480 --> 01:10:48,360
it was a chaotic innings. 
Even though Radha Yadav, I think

974
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,600
I checked towards the end, her 
control percentage was like 8 in

975
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,600
the 80s, which is insane. 
I don't know how they measure 

976
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,000
control percentage, but it 
looked a bit sticky. 

977
01:10:57,160 --> 01:11:00,760
It looked like she they dropped 
a few catches of Radha Yadav and

978
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:05,680
they've just not been able to 
execute and close out things. 

979
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,880
And I think Ashley Gardner at 
times has not trusted her 

980
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:10,840
bowling, which is sad. 
I. 

981
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:17,520
Mean the other problem is they 
always keep playing Renuka Singh

982
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:22,920
and and she bowls overs a little
later in the innings. 

983
01:11:23,440 --> 01:11:27,040
Yeah. 
And that that that never works. 

984
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:30,040
That never works. 
And they've not been helped by 

985
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:31,920
the fact that Kashmir started 
well. 

986
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:36,720
But then again, at the death, 
like she ended up facing Nadine 

987
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:44,040
de Clark and and again, yeah. 
So that didn't help at all. 

988
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:50,760
So I mean, they will they will 
require a little bit of planning

989
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:56,680
in the bowling and not depend on
on divine because that match 

990
01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:02,120
against DC that was gone. 
That was that was done for how 

991
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:06,120
Sophie Devine pulled that off is
is just crazy. 

992
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,800
Like 7 of the last over you, you
give up. 

993
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,920
Like in most, in most scenarios 
you would have given up. 

994
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:18,840
But there is no like she was ice
cold like. 

995
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:23,240
Yeah, Do you, what do you think 
about their bowling like the 

996
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,800
two? 
I think Tanuja Kanwar is pretty 

997
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:29,120
good. 
She's done a decent job and 

998
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,760
she's played well for India as 
well, right, I think. 

999
01:12:33,480 --> 01:12:38,960
She has if I remember correctly,
but if you look at like their 

1000
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:43,520
bowling, they didn't even give 
the ball to Tanuja Kanwar in 

1001
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:47,480
that game versus RCV. 
They did not even give the ball 

1002
01:12:47,480 --> 01:12:49,640
to registry Gaikwad. 
Yeah. 

1003
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:55,320
So there are some questionable 
tactics, though I must say. 

1004
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:59,040
There were two really, really 
good catches that registry guy 

1005
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:02,360
called took in that game. 
Like, those are really, really 

1006
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:04,680
good. 
I mean, amidst all the 

1007
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:09,000
troublesome drop catches we've 
seen. 

1008
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:13,320
Yeah. 
I wonder if Ashley Gardner is. 

1009
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:18,880
I don't know whether it's. 
Again, yeah, it looks, it looks 

1010
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:25,160
very, very shaky, like the whole
thing looks like they have they 

1011
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:28,200
have the wherewithal. 
But then, like that final push 

1012
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:33,080
will probably be like, for the 
lack of a better term, I have to

1013
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:35,160
use a pun, a divine 
intervention. 

1014
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:42,800
I think they can bring in, They 
can bring in Anushka Sharma, 

1015
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:46,920
they can bring in. 
I never know how to say this 

1016
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:52,480
name but Titus or Tita Sadhu, 
who I think bold Titash. 

1017
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:58,920
Titash Shadu. 
Famously there is no Sir in the 

1018
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:01,760
Bengali language, so it's always
sure sure. 

1019
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:06,440
Like there is no V, there is no 
V, so it's always BA. 

1020
01:14:07,480 --> 01:14:08,600
OK. 
Yeah. 

1021
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:12,000
Yeah, so Tita Sadhu. 
I think she would. 

1022
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:14,880
I saw her bowl. 
Interesting. 

1023
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:16,440
She's she's she's. 
Really good. 

1024
01:14:16,440 --> 01:14:21,600
Yeah, yeah. 
Big fan purely from the basis 

1025
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:25,360
that she's from Bengal. 
Yeah. 

1026
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:29,480
So I would probably bring out 
take out rain cussing because I 

1027
01:14:29,480 --> 01:14:31,480
think they need something 
different. 

1028
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,240
Which is a. 
Which is a shame because like, 

1029
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:39,360
yeah, there is, I have a 
feeling, and again, we'll go on 

1030
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:42,680
a go on a tangent, but I have a 
feeling that in the next couple 

1031
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:49,760
of years the there is going to 
be a tremendous shift in both 

1032
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:55,000
batting and bowling talent in 
India because of the money 

1033
01:14:55,000 --> 01:15:01,440
coming in and all of these 
cricketers being able to live 

1034
01:15:01,440 --> 01:15:04,880
fuller lives as cricketers. 
I'm not saying fuller lives per 

1035
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:08,880
SE, but as cricketers, because 
they probably would not have as 

1036
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,640
professionals, they they 
probably weren't. 

1037
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:17,480
And the one change that I want 
to see is, is the continuous 

1038
01:15:17,480 --> 01:15:21,640
evolution of Renuka Singh. 
Like everybody knows you can 

1039
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:25,360
swing the ball, but what can you
do apart from that? 

1040
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:28,960
And, and, and that's where 
it'll, it'll have to come in. 

1041
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:32,280
And that is an evolution that I 
want for Renuka Singh because, 

1042
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:37,240
because see, having swing will, 
will probably get you 2 overs or

1043
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:40,960
three overs at the at the top. 
And then it becomes very, very 

1044
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:44,560
difficult because we know this, 
we know these balls stop 

1045
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:47,120
swinging much earlier than they 
used to. 

1046
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:52,680
And that's why it's, it's it's 
critical that she goes ahead and

1047
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:59,480
up skills at the earliest. 
So I'm, I'm, I'm keeping Gigi on

1048
01:15:59,480 --> 01:16:02,040
hold. 
I'm I have, I have, I don't need

1049
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:05,680
to, I don't feel like they're 
perfectly placed on the table to

1050
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:10,480
just hold. 
They're not going to drop in or 

1051
01:16:10,480 --> 01:16:14,480
or or crash per SE, but there is
a chance that there is an 

1052
01:16:14,480 --> 01:16:18,240
upside. 
I've used all the stock market 

1053
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:21,680
terminology that I knew in my 
life in the last sentence. 

1054
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:26,680
Very nice. 
What about? 

1055
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,920
What about the next team? 
Mumbai Indians. 

1056
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:34,560
They are see that's the thing. 
See Mumbai Indian is like 

1057
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:44,360
Australia, like UP have beaten 
them twice and and Mccanning has

1058
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:49,920
the honor of having beaten MI 
twice, 2 times with two 

1059
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,880
different teams right? 
Like once with DC and once with 

1060
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:57,520
UP. 
Now The thing is that they have 

1061
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,600
problems, but they but they 
problem solve. 

1062
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,400
Yeah, they problem solve much, 
much faster than other teams. 

1063
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:07,200
They are they're Hanford by the 
injuries at this point in time 

1064
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:15,520
and there is no denial in that. 
But they don't they're happy to 

1065
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:18,840
fail and fail fast as well. 
Like when you look at like 

1066
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:22,160
sending Amelia Kerr up top, 
playing Hayley Matthews just 

1067
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,960
followed one game, then again 
resting her and and like she's 

1068
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:30,480
she's unfit probably or not, or 
injured yet, right. 

1069
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:37,200
So they and and and the fact 
that they also take additional 

1070
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:43,440
steps where they keep a unit 
together like stuff like any 

1071
01:17:43,440 --> 01:17:47,160
other team probably. 
I mean, I know, I know that 

1072
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:50,320
Kamalini is a keeper. 
Any other team might have 

1073
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:54,040
dropped Kamalini and and moved 
on right. 

1074
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:58,040
Like MI said, no, no problem. 
You back down the order. 

1075
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:02,160
We can tell you that there's no 
no stress. 

1076
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:06,560
We'll keep playing you. 
That doesn't happen with every 

1077
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:11,800
every team, right, and I think 
they will. 

1078
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,040
They will. 
They will do well and and and 

1079
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:17,040
and there anyways, like, 
although all and both these 

1080
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:21,760
losses were recent, before that 
they had 1-2 on the bounce as 

1081
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:24,840
well. 
And and both were very 

1082
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,880
convincing victories, like 
largely convincing victories. 1 

1083
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:29,480
was 7 wicked and the other was 
fifty runs. 

1084
01:18:29,480 --> 01:18:37,960
So I'm I'm not able to sell, 
especially when you look at the 

1085
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:42,120
fact that they have Harmanpreet 
Kaur who's also turning it up. 

1086
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:45,960
They have Amanjot Kaur who can 
open, just randomly open. 

1087
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:49,160
They are happy to send Amanjo 
that. 

1088
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,400
Then they have Nikola Gary 
somewhere. 

1089
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:54,480
Then they'll get even Saji and 
Saji not to score runs. 

1090
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:58,760
I mean, it's very, very 
difficult to root. 

1091
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:04,120
Like not root against, but I'd 
say very very difficult to write

1092
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:06,800
them off. 
Yeah, I think I agree with that 

1093
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:09,560
sentiment. 
I think the one weakness that 

1094
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:14,120
they have is they don't have 
good injury backups, so an 

1095
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:18,760
injury to another key player 
would really change a lot of the

1096
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:20,200
squad. 
And they've moved around. 

1097
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:24,960
They had like 4 opening 
combinations and I think I, I 

1098
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:28,200
don't agree that I don't think 
Amanjyot Kaur is an opener. 

1099
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:32,760
I think her scoring areas are a 
bit too limited where you want 

1100
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:36,840
somebody who can take advantage 
of the field being up, you know,

1101
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:40,640
and not be stifled by the two 
outfielders. 

1102
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:43,160
Like if you place them in the 
right areas, I feel like you can

1103
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:45,440
stifle a little bit of amount, 
of course, scoring. 

1104
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:49,800
So I I think they're going to 
struggle with that opening 

1105
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:51,960
combination. 
And they still have been 

1106
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:54,600
winning. 
I think their bowling is really 

1107
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:56,680
good and and, you know, that's 
our brunt. 

1108
01:19:56,880 --> 01:20:00,360
I expected her to have a 
regression, but that woman shows

1109
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:04,480
no sign of having any 
performance regression at all. 

1110
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:08,280
Yeah, so. 
They're really good. 

1111
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,200
Amelia Curves bowling really 
well. 

1112
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:14,120
I think the way they tried to 
use her up the order batting 

1113
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:20,800
would probably did not work. 
Kamalini I I don't know, we'll 

1114
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:23,800
have to wait and see. 
But I think a lot they have been

1115
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:26,600
able to win because of Nicola 
Kerry. 

1116
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:30,840
And I think if you see even a 
little bit of regression or a 

1117
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:36,520
slight change when they change 
venues, that may come crashing 

1118
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:38,240
down. 
So they have fragilities. 

1119
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:43,240
And yeah, they they are 
successful but fragile. 

1120
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:47,000
And yeah, comparing him to the 
Aussie team is probably a good 

1121
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:50,760
one because they find ways to 
win even in spite of that. 

1122
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:53,560
And they're better at problem 
solving than most. 

1123
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:56,400
So yeah, I'm holding Mumbai as 
well. 

1124
01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:01,880
Yeah, yeah, I'm buying more if I
can, especially in a tournament 

1125
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:04,880
like this where they've already 
won like 2 editions out of 

1126
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:08,400
three. 
Yeah, I mean and, and like in a 

1127
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:14,160
final, in a final, like you need
probably two people to turn up. 

1128
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:18,840
They have like, they're multiple
people who could beat those two 

1129
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:22,080
people in a final, so. 
Yeah, and one of them is 

1130
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:24,080
definitely going to win that 
super brunt. 

1131
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:28,960
So. 
Yeah, yeah, the yeah, even 

1132
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:32,120
Herman Preet turns up in crunch 
matches and she's she's looked 

1133
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:35,320
OK. 
So yeah, she had really good 

1134
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:38,440
form coming into the tournament,
so I have no doubts. 

1135
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:44,480
Yeah. 
What about what about RCPI feel 

1136
01:21:44,480 --> 01:21:49,960
like RCP fans are really scared,
like they are they expected when

1137
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:53,160
the team loses, but when the 
team wins, they are little. 

1138
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:56,720
They're scared of, you know, 
feeling again. 

1139
01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:01,720
What is it with RCB? 
I like it's very difficult to 

1140
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:05,680
explain, right? 
Like everything that they 

1141
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:14,000
shouldn't shouldn't work keeps 
working And even then they are 

1142
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:18,120
also making tremendously superb 
decisions, right? 

1143
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:22,640
Like everybody said, like like 
after the first game itself or 

1144
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:26,040
you need Georgia volleyer or you
need Prema Rawat here. 

1145
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:29,160
And what did they do? 
They did just that. 

1146
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:31,720
They just that it's so much 
common sense. 

1147
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:36,240
Like in a short tournament, you 
need to make fast decisions and 

1148
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:40,480
you need to back your players to
to do the to do the right thing.

1149
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:44,440
And you need to have a unit that
that really, really likes being 

1150
01:22:44,440 --> 01:22:47,080
there. 
And like, you can see like 

1151
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:52,440
Smriti and Shriyanka and, and, 
and, and even rather and, and 

1152
01:22:52,440 --> 01:22:54,880
everybody like, I mean, for 
Grace Harris, Grace Harris was 

1153
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:56,920
miked up. 
She's like rather others are on 

1154
01:22:56,920 --> 01:23:02,280
field captain for fielding. 
Like all of these things, all of

1155
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,880
these things, which means that 
there is there is that team that

1156
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:08,560
is working like diligently 
behind the scenes and and doing 

1157
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:10,640
a good job of good job at it, 
right. 

1158
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:11,760
Yeah. 
So. 

1159
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:16,080
So it's a I mean there is no 
what were the questions? 

1160
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:19,040
I mean if we had recorded 2 days
ago, the questions would be 

1161
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:21,800
Smriti Mandana doesn't score 
runs in the WPL. 

1162
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:23,800
What does she do? 
96 casual. 

1163
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:28,160
I think that was the only 
weakness that Smriti wasn't. 

1164
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:30,600
Exactly, right. 
Yeah, exactly. 

1165
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:36,840
And even in the game, even in 
that one game where like we were

1166
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:39,320
like Grace Harris, what does she
do? 

1167
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:41,360
She's 23 of the first tour and 
that's it. 

1168
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:45,720
That's I mean, those are the 
things that set like the games 

1169
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:49,160
done right, like you've 
demoralized the opposition with 

1170
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:53,400
23 of the over right? 
Like those are like crazy, crazy

1171
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:58,680
things to have to have happened 
to this team and there is no way

1172
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:04,400
that they should lose advantage.
And The thing is, they've been 

1173
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:07,000
tested as well. 
Like, how can you bring in 

1174
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:10,680
rather the other word 5? 
There is nothing in Radha 

1175
01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:14,800
Yadav's history. 
And it's her highest score 

1176
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:19,840
across all formats that she 
scored at #5 in the last game. 

1177
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:23,120
And I'm just like, what, how, 
how has this worked? 

1178
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:30,520
And The thing is that it's I 
think they're all hitting form 

1179
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:33,520
at the right time. 
I don't know if there may be a 

1180
01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:41,400
risk of them peaking too early, 
but you know, I really, really 

1181
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:42,960
like them. 
I wonder if they're. 

1182
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,560
I'm in, by the way, batting. 
Tracks. 

1183
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:52,280
I am in absolute love with the 
fact that the ball is swinging 

1184
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:58,000
and Lauren Bell is putting up a 
show every single game. 

1185
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:02,360
I'm like, yes, yes, when he put 
up when he put up please Fir how

1186
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:06,560
was the Ghumegi ball? 
Oh God, like I'm such a sucker 

1187
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:09,320
for swing bowling is not even 
funny. 

1188
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:13,960
Like I'm like, yes, and we heard
like that tall fast bowler 

1189
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:17,400
rushing in and like it's it's 
super. 

1190
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:20,160
Lauren Bell is amazing and I 
think we talked about her. 

1191
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:24,680
I had predicted her to be like 
the highest wicket taker this 

1192
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:27,400
tournament. 
I hope that persist through to 

1193
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,640
to Vadodara. 
I don't know if it will, but 

1194
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:36,520
it's so it's been so nice to 
watch, like watch her come in 

1195
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:39,560
and take these wickets and get 
her lengths right, get her lines

1196
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:42,760
right. 
And Justice, you know, has done 

1197
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:47,640
such a good job upfront. 
And now I feel like Shriyanka's 

1198
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:50,160
coming in and she's doing really
well and. 

1199
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:51,600
She took a Viper. 
Very happy. 

1200
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:56,120
Yeah, she took a Viper. 
So I mean, teams better be 

1201
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:58,600
scared like. 
And, and that's the kind of and 

1202
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:01,400
that's the kind of change that I
was talking about, right, In 

1203
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:05,760
terms of skill, in terms of like
change that will happen is that 

1204
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:09,480
is that people like Shanka will 
go away on injury and come back 

1205
01:26:09,480 --> 01:26:11,000
stronger. 
Yeah. 

1206
01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:15,480
The kind the kind that we that 
we very rarely see in cricket. 

1207
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,160
Those kind of changes will 
happen more in women's cricket, 

1208
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:22,760
I can guarantee, because they 
they will value this so much 

1209
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:25,800
more than than the men. 
I mean, it's, it's clear. 

1210
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:36,880
I mean, cricket, all of that. 
I can, I can say whatever I want

1211
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,960
and it'll be on record. 
So, so that's also fine with me.

1212
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:45,520
I mean, it's very, it's very, 
very clear to me that this, this

1213
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:49,840
game is, is changing and and 
like, it's this young brigade 

1214
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:52,800
that that'll make it even more 
watchable. 

1215
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:56,520
I mean, like, of course they'll 
have their irritating moments. 

1216
01:26:56,520 --> 01:27:00,080
They will do some 6-7 
celebration, they will make a 

1217
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:03,440
reel that you don't like, but 
all that is doesn't. 

1218
01:27:03,440 --> 01:27:04,600
Matter. 
It doesn't matter. 

1219
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:06,840
Yeah, it doesn't matter. 
Yeah. 

1220
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:10,320
And I think even RCB, like they 
they were trying to force 

1221
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:13,080
Lindsay Smith and did they drop 
her in the last game? 

1222
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:18,320
Because I don't think I saw her.
So they don't need they don't 

1223
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:22,440
need anyone other than Lauren 
Bell as an international bowler.

1224
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:27,680
So they can just focus on having
Georgia Wall, which has paid off

1225
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:31,200
right away, right? 
So what a. 

1226
01:27:31,440 --> 01:27:36,160
She was she was power hitting in
that last game, proper power 

1227
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:39,160
hitting. 
Yeah, I'm so. 

1228
01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:42,320
Like. 
Very, very excited. 

1229
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:46,160
I'm buying and holding RCB like 
it's NVIDIA. 

1230
01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:51,520
NVIDIA Are people still buying 
NVIDIA? 

1231
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:53,440
I just. 
Not anymore. 

1232
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:59,120
OK, NVIDIA from a year ago. 
OK, must share. 

1233
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:01,480
I bought it five years ago, so 
yeah. 

1234
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:05,000
Did you sell it? 
No, yeah, of course, of course 

1235
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:07,760
I'm not like some Mahan 
investor. 

1236
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,920
Most of the times I buy stuff 
and then I forget to sell it 

1237
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:15,880
because who who pays close 
enough attention? 

1238
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:19,040
Yeah, yeah, same, same. 
But but in this case, like I 

1239
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:23,360
think there's just so much 
happening that people as like, 

1240
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:27,760
yeah, yeah, Bhiliyada. 
So like, OK, take care. 

1241
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:32,120
Might as well. 
Doshab Nadine de Clutch kill 

1242
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:36,280
you? 
Sarana Karni Padegi is is 

1243
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:41,480
Kalakari cricketer Key Joe 
batting or bowling? 

1244
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:48,800
I'm I'm like, I am irritated 
that this is a Sunday and I've 

1245
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:54,440
like had to tune into an ODI 
because BJP 11 was losing 

1246
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:58,600
because Usima Mazad ABI ABI. 
Problem is the recording has 

1247
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:03,840
gone on for nearly two hours and
now I have to now I won't be 

1248
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:07,800
able to sleep because I'll be 
watching sports ERE and sports 

1249
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:11,760
tech and I mean the little 
pleasures of life. 

1250
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:15,600
It'll ruin my Monday, but I'll 
have a great Sunday evening. 

1251
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:23,200
Somewhere, Aditya's enjoying 
himself a lot, and his 

1252
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:27,320
background noise is giving him a
lot of happiness while he 

1253
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:31,760
prepares to do really important,
really smart things. 

1254
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:35,520
Yeah, I have no idea why Aditya 
even comes on to the board like 

1255
01:29:36,440 --> 01:29:38,640
but then when he starts 
speaking, you realize, oh, I 

1256
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:39,800
scooped cricket. 
Maybe interest. 

1257
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:44,800
He has equal interest in cricket
and the panel in sports. 

1258
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:49,720
That and sports CRE and the 38 
other right wing podcasts that 

1259
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:51,320
he keeps watching. 
So. 

1260
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:56,680
Listeners should know today, 
Aditya challenged an AI summary 

1261
01:29:56,720 --> 01:30:00,920
of India versus Australia. 
Any anybody will. 

1262
01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:05,920
Anybody will. 
Yeah, like, OK, another podcast 

1263
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:10,680
on on like on on asking AI basic
stuff and AI absolutely fudging 

1264
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:16,280
it is another podcast. 
Final thoughts Who is going to 

1265
01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:23,080
be the winner of WPL 2026? 
See, just because I want a new 

1266
01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:26,360
winner and I want this to be 
competitive, I don't want it to 

1267
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:31,520
be just MI and RCB, even though 
I really like the RCB team, I 

1268
01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:37,960
kind of wanted to I, I want UP 
Warriors to go on a run and win 

1269
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:40,920
because I don't think DC can 
win. 

1270
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:44,480
They're too far from it. 
I think GG are a little bit too 

1271
01:30:44,480 --> 01:30:48,600
middling, but UP Warriors are 
just mercurial enough to come 

1272
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:53,760
from behind and annoy everybody 
like a Sunrisers run for some, 

1273
01:30:54,480 --> 01:30:56,320
you know, all those years ago. 
So. 

1274
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:02,280
Yeah, like imagine Harleen with 
a poster. 

1275
01:31:02,440 --> 01:31:06,600
Yeah, Abhishek talk now after 
the final. 

1276
01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:11,120
After the final. 
Yeah, but I'd rather it was RCB 

1277
01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:15,200
than MI like I just. 
Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm always 

1278
01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:22,400
team new winners and which which
is not going to last a long time

1279
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:26,280
if like these five teams are the
only teams playing it. 

1280
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:28,320
I really hope more teams are 
added. 

1281
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:35,040
Yeah, but I really, really want 
more teams and, and, and I'm 

1282
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:38,320
very, very glad I must share 
that cricket is coming back to 

1283
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:42,520
the Chinnaswamy Stadium. 
I mean, with some conditions I 

1284
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:47,760
have like I have missed watching
the WPL at the Chinnaswamy more 

1285
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:50,320
than anything. 
I mean, it's just, it was, it 

1286
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:54,680
was like a, it was part of the 
routine and I hope it comes back

1287
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:56,400
next year. 
Yeah. 

1288
01:31:57,080 --> 01:31:58,640
Yeah. 
All right. 

1289
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:02,400
With that you. 
Need to watch the WPL folks.

That important. 

1296
