    Australia wins by 360 runs. Warner has a tonne, Gaz has half a thousand, The Bison’s free, The Cartel’s purring. But what is Perth? Whatever you want it to be, I guess. A fortress. A money pit. A cyber cauldron. A shit tip. Thanks for coming anyway, Pakistan. See you on Boxing Day for nose exhalations, walking in and out of rooms, Blobbying our way through the three weeks of the year Australians let the cricket wash over them. And yes, the BBL is back. We have a new set, by the way. Aaron Finch is on the couch, talking World Cups, retirement, commentary, Hardik v Rohit, and sort of/not really getting dropped. Once that’s done, we return to the new set to discuss the looming IPL auction. That’s not to be confused with the mock auction. Talk about turning dolls over and going to work! Bulk Rupees for Starc and Head, one assumes. The women take on India in a Test starting at the Wankhede on Thursday. Yes, we call for shit tips. South Africa v India. West Indies v New Zealand. Jofra playing for his old club. AskTGC is about drugs, cover drives and simulated orgasms.

  • @Bobby-rq5eg
    @Bobby-rq5eg Před 6 měsíci +8

    In recent years there has been a decline in the number of talented opponents in test cricket maybe because of the preoccupation with t20 cricket. The Australian team lacks talent in quite a few positions to be honest but they are good enough to win a majority of their matches anyway because most of their opponents are average or below average. In comparison to teams playing in the 90's and in the early 2000's where competition was stiff this team is clearly less talented but lacks competition so Ian's and Sam's inclination to think it's all about unrealistic expectations on their part because of their memories of childhood hero worship should not be agreed upon because the difference in talent now and then between era's are in fact clear as day!!!

    • @larrysanders3450

    I thoroughly enjoyed the deck in Perth. Test cricket is at its best when the conditions slightly favour the bowlers. Batsmen have to dig in to score runs but, if they do, then they will. Comparing this deck to the absolute shit tips in India is farcical. Those decks either entirely favour batting OR bowling, there is no middle ground. So uou end up with games that finish on the morning of day 3 with a team scoring 190 in their first innings and winning by 9 wickets or a game that ends an hour before stumps on day 5 halfway through the 3rd innings. I'm happy to shit all over the Gabba deck from last summer as it was absolutely fucked but, as much as I like Harsha, comparing this deck to Indore misses the mark by a LONG way

    I have heard from the inner circles in Australia that there is sort of a scam going on. These Pires go to option, get big bucks and then pull out at the last moment saying that they're injured.
    So the scam here is they are getting insurance. After getting picked up at the auction and when they get injured, the insurance pays them so they are basically not playing and still getting the money

    RCB had the worst ipl auction. replaced Hazlewood, Hasaranga and Harshal with Alzarri, Dagar and Dayal 😂

    MI, CSK did very well. SRH are stacked but will find it hard to manage so many superstar Egos. DC went on a keeper spree 😆 as did KKR with seamers. And Punjab look ver Eng-dependent. GT, RR, LSG look good as ever.
    ---
    Salt unlucky to hit 2 tons a few weeks late after all think tanks had locked in their picks.
    Tbh the mini auction tends to favour foreign quicks and they end up with overinflated wages. big auction next year should normalise that balance...
    key thing is that IPL player "retention fee" should be raised to avoid top 4 players per side like Kohli, sky, bumrah, Buttler, Warner, shami, kuldeep getting retained but underpaid compared to Starc and co.

    Imagine Rinku gets 50L and smashed Dayal (20L) for 5 sixes last year and now RCB got same Dayal for 5CR (10x Rinku!) ... Hard to fathom 😂

    On whether it would be fair to let Lyon continue: Lyon is no Warne but this generation deserves to see at least the journey to try that. Especially when you're improving as a bowler and team man every year.
    Edit: Lyon is senior enough to demand captaincy after Pat. Why not?

      My objection here would be that you have a broad spread of different types of pitches across the Australian grounds - you can't just master one type of conditions and expect that will carry you through. You will face turners, roads, green topped monsters, and lightning decks with grand canyon cracks.
