| 0:00.0 | 94,000 people at the MCG yearning and longing for this boxing day. The series is done. |
| 0:06.9 | That doesn't matter. It's your day. It's about old meats and old blokes. That's what today is |
| 0:12.4 | really about. And what we get is 20 wickets in a day. And what I'm excited about is the review of this |
| 0:17.6 | deck because as we saw in Perth, that was very good. Now this is very, very good if Perth was excellent. So I can't see a better wicket than this in the world. This is a certifiable shit tip. Let's be right about that. And I want to start on the negative tone here, Pezzar. I, as I'm sure you, have many friends here. I've got many friends that have flown here from the UK, excited, |
| 0:38.5 | and this game is nearly over. |
| 0:41.0 | It's a shame. |
| 0:42.4 | It's a tip. |
| 0:43.6 | It's a tip. |
| 0:44.2 | The tip's in. |
| 0:45.7 | And if we do think about our English brethren, and I do, |
| 0:50.6 | this is a game where they go to bed happy and they wake up and they go, |
| 0:53.5 | fuck's sake. |
| 0:56.4 | It's happened again. They wake up and they go fuck's sake it's happened again they wake up they roll over they're like i went to bed and australi was nearly out and i've woken up |
| 1:01.7 | and bolan's batting with head how his head back in and then they realized i saw head get out |
| 1:06.7 | yeah what's happened here what is this a Snicko thing? |
| 1:16.3 | So, and so for the English, that sucks. |
| 1:20.9 | I don't have a lot of sympathy for that, but to be honest, it's also a day for talking about Matt Page, but calling him Pagey. |
| 1:23.2 | It's a day for pretending you know who the groundsman, or as we say in Australia, curator, |
| 1:27.4 | the only efforts into the arts we ever give, is a groundy. And going, man, Paige has left 10 mill on that, and why? And then you start going, what have been the weather conditions in Melbourne in the last couple of weeks that have made it difficult? Because the MCG deck for the last couple of years has been really good. See, now, why has he left 10 on it? |
| 1:44.5 | I thought he was going to shave it. |
| 1:45.4 | He talked to us on Tuesday. |
