Transcripts

I want to welcome everyone back to the

channel maybe you haven't been here in a

while um but welcome back as the first

point on the agenda today pezza I want

to discuss with you when not if shall we

burn this thing down that being the

gabber I'm sick of it [ __ ] burn it

down I've had enough of it Fortress no

longer I've seen sure I've just watched

one of the greatest test match this

country has ever seen I'm more

interested in the nearly 100 Game 4mth

season of the IPL in 3 years time I

think that brings more joy consistently

to people so there's two points there

bring on the IPL I say and also burn the

[ __ ] down

thoughts it's not really a fortress is

it you know it it it turns out it this

actually diminishes what India did a few

years ago I think maybe we went

overboard um Australia just Los loses

there every couple of years particularly

when is when it isn't the first test of

the year yeah uh look I don't know he

goes

um you know I I I was worried about you

doing this last night you know when I

was cross-examining you about whether we

were going to be magnanimous in the

event of a West Indies Victory and look

for a Damen martines scapegoat but um I

kind of uh I got to say

if this is treasonous or not like I kind

of agreed with that lone voice at the

cavernous gabber as alzari Joseph ran in

with a couple of OES to go who yelled

out in the most Aussie accent come on

alzari I mate I had messages flying in

from a lot of people very happy uh with

what happened and I have to say like I I

I I couldn't take my hat further off uh

all my pants off uh to the and and it

would be disappoint poting to them if I

did that but um to the West Indies for

this win in particular Shamar Joseph who

has um delivered one of the greatest

performances seen on these Shores in the

history of the game uh there's just no

exaggeration there seven far with a

broken Edgar Allen Poe uh from the night

before and Aussies in particular love it

with a bit of pain we're talking John

sattler's jaw you know dery's ribs or

some [ __ ] uh you know bowling High 140s

over after over into his eighth into his

ninth uh zeroing in shuffling in that

kind of Malcolm Marshall uh quick arm

action it's it's it's got to be one of

the greatest performances ever seen uh

in Australia in the circumstances and uh

to see him break down and cry after

taking his Fifer uh followed by just the

sheer twitch on the man after they won

uh it

it's it doesn't really get much better

for for a sports person uh playing

Cricket in Australia so I I just have to

start with that that was um it was just

one of the most brilliant things I've

ever

seen which team which team was more

diminished when beating Australia at the

Gaba the Indian team that had a guy

called te natarajan that no one's even

seen since including his friends and

family or a guy that was working in a

nightclub 6 minutes ago who wasn't even

going to turn up to the ground today cuz

he broke his [ __ ]

foot what the [ __ ] we talking about a

fortress [ __ ] hell Australia can't

come soon enough Al Nicholson was saying

six months ago this bloke was bowling

guy fruit you know and he and and he

wasn't even talking about the he wasn't

talking about the analogy using Cricket

he's like literal fruit in the jungle of

Guyana now I don't know if that's true

or not I thought it was an awesome call

I also loved Bishop call as well saying

felicitations you know from King to

Jamaica give me that voice drip it down

me uh yeah man it was it was some pretty

hot [ __ ] the nature of the dis

dismissals as well you know cam green

who was looking good with 42 uh just

cracks him on the elbow there back onto

the stumps head necks ball straight

through the defenses yorking the coat uh

so to speak it was um mate the guy the

guy was hot it was so it was so awesome

um and there was something in it for

everybody you know there was there was a

chance of Steve Smith getting an even

100 so it kept the artists in the game

as well uh Josh D Silva stepped on his

Bat uh that that was that was going to

upset people there was just a there was

just a lot going on you know uh

meanwhile England's getting themselves

back into the game against India as well

uh nothing's really coming up Australia

uh these last couple of hours not at

least our national day which I'm sure

there'll be uh conversation about in

some quarters following this result well

I think the real winners of The View

count of this video p and maybe our

subscriber count cuz many people left

after a certain game that happened a

couple months ago but I think people

might come back um and we'll also be

reviewing that game uh over there in

hydrabad at at the conclusion of that

one as well um Shamar Joseph

pezza I think like I just want to touch

on what you said about like one of the

best individual performances from an

away player ever I mean I was just

actually trying to think of some in my

lifetime like ctly Ambrose 7 for two in

a spell at the Wacker happened in

lifetime um there was like Coy's

2013 or something like that where he

scored 400s was it here I mean like that

was Sensational I feel like there's been

some decent batting performances over

time Alistair Cook um and trot in the

1011 Nation series when they won here

3-1 with three Innings victories um I

try to think like some other like even

like like the really big players in the

history of the game maybe like a mly

don't think it t h 240 lus hit 277 like

guys have done stuff sticks yeah like

there's been some good batting

performances for sure just trying to

think about bowling like yeah curly

Amber is one that sticks in the mind but

but that from that position that they

were in and also like just love that he

was in pain and he's done it hard as

well up one getting wasn't getting to

the ground cuz he was in hospital I love

that yeah oh um and I've actually played

with quite a few BLS as well who ended

up in hospital lot before a game they

weren't coming to the ground um but pass

that performance 7 for 68 7 for 68 to

win the

game just about single- handly like like

I thought like alzari Joseph would look

kind of unders heaps of no balls um

spinner H not in the game at all um

Groves ball K I suppose uh and and like

just like the the the the nature of the

wickets like that was [ __ ] Wheels man

he was hitting 150 there's guys that

have bow quick out here for sure shab

Mark Wood uh in more recent times but

like that that was that it was 150s and

it was a heavy ball oh and the last ball

that gets

Hazelwood [ __ ] hell man I like I was

oh I was I was a gasp um but you know uh

what does it all mean what does it all

mean I mean I I know I guess I'm saying

as I agree with you that it was [ __ ]

just one of the greatest individual

performances I've ever seen in my

lifetime from an a white player but who

do we blame Pizer um is it time to blame

Damien Martin for Chippy one to cover in

1993 at theg is it time to blame that is

it time to blame [ __ ] for declaring in

the first Innings when those first

Innings runs were desperately needed is

it time to blame Pat cumins is it time

to blame Woolworth for not selling

plastic flams who do we blame in the

country Sam

Perry

um uh I just want to just just note one

more thing about Shamar Joseph that

makes it extra special it's literally

his second [ __ ] test

match you know like that that was

like that that was the the penetration

of a seasoned campaigner that like

professional like International

professional cricketers are afraid of

you know like the the thing that helps

individual performances stand out in and

of like goes beyond the performance

itself it's in comparison to what

everybody else is able to do and as you

noted n none of his colleagues while

being kind of able supporters were

really at the level that was needed to

win that game it was going to take one

of the most special bowling performances

and and that comes from a guy with the

story that he has in his second test at

a venue where Australia essentially

doesn't lose or used to not lose just

makes it all the more um you know the

the the like the birth of a star really

uh so I yeah I just like like he he's

the story of the game um it's a it's

it's a positive story

um very happy to get into the blame game

now as well I thought you I thought I

thought you kicked that off well um I

think ultimately it's going to it's

going to zero in on cumin um I mean I'm

pretty disappointed the bowlers didn't

get the runs that's that's usually their

job uh in in test matches so not really

sure what's going on there with the

bowlers uh and and their blade work um

but uh you know Andrew you know but I

mean we're we're going to zero in in

Ronnie as well I mean he he manages to

to escape uh some of some of the stuff

um I'll tell you what like

um it is it is an absolutely deserved

Victory uh the the wy's are essentially

ahead uh for the majority of the game

and they rendered the conditions

favorable when they bowled and battered

uh I thought they battered with more

application they bowled Fuller uh and

more penetratingly they exposed

Australian weaknesses they're just

absolutely excellent value for the win

and moreover looking broadly at the

summer it it is makes complete sense

that like one of the opposition teams

took at least a match uh I think

Australia does well to come out of the

summer four tests to one up you know

maybe I'm going too far there but um

maybe it just shows Australia is

normally pretty good at edging

themselves over the line then edging

themselves uh you know so so I I think

it's a really really deserved result and

yeah it's going to it's going to ask

questions about where Australia is

really

uh you know as it should that's what

happens when Australia loses a game

against a team sponsored by you know

Baker

Delight um P Australia have lost eight

for 94 to lose the game um and and

whilst you look at the raw numbers of

that and you think well that's just a

complete capitulation of one of the

highest orders to lose a game from there

to lose eight for 94 to lose a game by

eight or nine runs um but I agree with

you in that the the best team has won

the game um and and of course if you

factor in the summer that that one team

has sorry yeah that one team has taken

one game off the Aussies this year or

this this Australian summer but like

because whilst they've lost 8 for

94 they had the best bowler of the match

and the guy has just like in a

footballing s sense grabbed the game by

the Scruff of the neck and just won the

game for his team you know like but then

at the same time I'm I'm thinking about

the mode of dismissals for the guys so

like Cameron green gets a really good

ball seems to jump off a length and then

hits him in the elbow is bald great ball

Travis head it's a Yorker but it's like

it's also a low full toss I mean it's

not it's not a bad ball by any sense but

Tails away it's now it's it's now it's

now four balls in a row he's been out at

the gabber um uh Alex kry plays a pretty

expansive drive it's a good ball again

but it's um it's probably not great um

Mitchell Marsh Nicks off that that was a

decent ball I suppose Mitchell Stark

made 21 from 14 and looked like he was

trying to get it done by the dinner

break um and so whilst that was positive

the shot that he plays he then excuse

one to Mid off wasn't it um or Point

even it was caught so that's loose uh

lion is pulling he plays that yeah I

know I guess I'm I'm trying to balance

between finding flaws in the chase where

they've lost eight for 94 to lose the

game whilst also celebrate the

individual performance of Joseph um so I

mean I I know I mean it it was just the

story of the was the story of the of the

summer for the Aussies like um Manus

there's been a lot of talk about Manus

hasn't scored 134 Innings I think he's

averaged 19 since the beginning of 2023

had some tough tours but I guess that's

test Cricket um maybe what I'm just

doing is expanding on your point of like

where is Australia really at I still

think it's a really good team um but uh

I don't know I guess as well Steve Smith

91 red opening the batting um so would

Australia won had bankr been playing

something to think about um I I think

that's the main question coming out of

it you know if you bring Cameron Bank

into the decide what happens um I don't

know I got to say I was you I was I was

starting to I thought I could I could

see a flicker of you know a grown man in

Cameron green during this Innings you

know I I don't know about you just a

just a couple of authoritative shots

down the ground you know like when when

he when he started it was still like you

know propping pushing reaching you know

timid tentative I even liked the way he

got annoyed when he got out like he he

showed us all that it had hit his elbow

just thought that was just a display of

emotion that I was that I was ke to see

um uh but you know I I I thought he

looked good I thought I thought he

titilated us a little bit Cameron green

which is what I is what I want to see uh

but yeah like the Aussies may explain it

along the same lines as they explained

the deli capitulation you know that it

was like they had plans you know and all

players went out to play their attacking

game game you know head goes first ball

I suppose uh Mitch Marsh Alex KY uh you

know Mitch Stark Nathan Lon was playing

fairly positively not L actually looked

better than most getting behind and

getting forward to the ball and hitting

down the

ground uh you know they must have

assessed that that it was a tough deck I

really think that um I really think the

story is is is one guy um going through

the Aussies with some EX exceptionable

exceptionable sorry exceptional bowling

I'm saying that word uh

and when you when you're bowling high

140s and you are challenging the Stomps

every ball you know he he looked like

getting wickets all the time yeah he

went for a few because he was he was

doing exactly that but um you know it's

just it's it's hats off pants off stuff

for me I think I think it's [ __ ]

awesome and I think he's obviously a

great character who was interviewed

after the game by BJ and uh just put the

credit back on to his teammates as well

which was really cool he made fun of

himself crying after taking fer like he

he was genuinely in tears after taking

fer I just think that's that that's

actually kind of cool sorry to be

vulnerable about

that um what better time to be

vulnerable peasant by putting glasses

in about an hour or so times we'll be

covering the end of that day's play as

well right here in the channel so if you

are new want to click subscribe um peza

um I want to say oh yeah I want to say

like Smith Smith 91 almost gets it done

at the end there Just the Way Anova

before he ramped um alzari Joseph for

six and I thought that had once they got

it to less than 10 by taking that single

um to give hawood two balls of Shamar

Joseph's um eventual final balls of the

match I thought that if Hazelwood got

through those two balls I thought Smith

was going to try and do it in the next

over by himself I think he was probably

going to try and go 64 or or 66 I I I

had that feeling like he wasn't

interested in trying to get another

another entire spell um sorry through

another entire spell of Shamar Joseph

such was the speed and aggression that

he was bowling with it felt like there

was an event coming all the time now

that's obviously hyp um um elevated

because of the stakes of of the game at

the time but um I just felt like Smith

was not interested in just trying to get

through four balls and take a single and

drag it out for another eight eight or

nine overs I thought he was going to try

and do it the next over so I guess that

if if that is true which it of course

entirely might be 100% incorrect but if

it was true the skill of that final ball

that Joseph bows yeah it's it's it's to

Hazelwood that's getting out a lot of

left-handers in the world cuz it pitches

on off and just does enough and it

flicks the or doesn't flick [ __ ]

cannons into the very top of off stump I

mean that's just the most satisfying way

to win a game of cricket and the

Wheeling away I said last night I did

want cartwheels I wanted fireworks I got

them so I guess I'm happy in that regard

um and it saved test Cricket which is

just such great news that it's actually

saved the

game um I don't know I guess I'm saying

is it was [ __ ] good yeah it was good

but yeah Smith opening almost almost won

the game for Australia pezza uh what

does that mean I guess it's something

you know that will help us go to sleep

tonight you know was it was it was it

was some high numbers against the name

that we want he looked good he looked he

looked good Smith he looked good at at

the start of his Innings he was um

looked like he was walking out to the

German club there you know past Point uh

with every delivery like at the study

really tries to cover that off stunt but

who the [ __ ] am I to judg that uh he he

really looked he actually looked quite

untroubled by the bowling all game uh

sorry all all Innings which I think is

pretty um I I mean Shamar Joseph

actually nearly nicked him off uh like

with with one yeah like normally

normally when the set batsman is the uh

is the 10th Wicket is because they're

trying to um score bulk runs with all

the strike given they've got an absolute

[ __ ] um Bunny at the other end and uh

but I thought it would have been

appropriate if Shamar Joseph had just

absolutely like just [ __ ]

scratched Smith off or just got him just

nicking one squaring up uh just to

complete the domination of the day but

um apart from that Smith looked really

untroubled and and very uh in control at

the crease just uh couldn't I guess he

just couldn't steer it there with that

um with with the tactic that he took and

you know as you say I don't think too

many blocks are keeping out that ball

that Shamar Joseph bow to knock

Hazelwood over Ponting even um kind of

called it before that ball as well

surprise surprise but he he like he was

he was sort of saying that Shamar J was

bowling too fer Hazelwood who was

standing deep in his grease he's like

he's just got to pull the length back a

little bit uh and and bring a couple of

more modes into dismissal and it was

just it was [ __ ] great great delivery

well deserved and I like that he's taken

seven as well like seven is like oh

that'll that number will go against his

name you know for a very long time you

know if not forever and seven is like

you've you've had you've had a serious

day out there's there's no like you

can't you can't Jag seven wickets

uh so yeah just I just couldn't dips me

lid further Lids all over my face I tell

you what I know there's a lot of talk

about people in the Caribbean staying up

till 3:00 in the morning to watch this

and there'll be parties all night in in

in certain uh and a variety of bars in

the nation state that is the West Indies

um but I've got to tell you if you're

anywhere near the Story Bridge tonight

in Brisbane there is going to be some

sort of [ __ ] circuit I know it's a

Sunday after a long weekend but I'm I'm

telling you you're going to want to get

out there and have a look at it I I I'm

I just I can only say just send a couple

of texts out who you can really rely on

for a fun night out and I think those

kind of people are going to be wearing

these sort of glasses possibly into the

early hours of the morning possibly into

work the next day at a job that you most

definitely hate but I've got to tell you

if you're anywhere near the circuit in

Brisbane tonight I mean this is a once-

in a lifetime it's it's once in a

lifetime sort of stuff get in and around

it um it's been a it's been a wild

summer I I actually can't think of a

bigger upset again in my lifetime than

what has just happened given what we

were expecting from the West indings

having just lost by 10 wickets a week

ago um it's a completely weakened West

Indian side not just in a team sense but

just structurally at a board level and

they have just heroically won the game

by eight or nine runs or whatever it is

at the gabber at a place that needs to

be demolished as soon as possible

because that is going to be a haunted

haunted Olympic stadium for many years

to come pezza is there anything else you

want to say hey shout out to everyone

who's got behind us this test summer uh

obviously we're just um do not stop

recording we've got one in probably in a

couple of hours time if it does finish
