| 0:00.0 | This is the Friends Vista Debating Society. I'm John Bachelorette with Jeremy's |
| 0:03.5 | Actress of New South Wales, my guide, and my teacher on cricket. It's a wonderful |
| 0:08.5 | game I'm just learning. Jeremy's got all the language, so sometimes he has to |
| 0:12.6 | translate for me. I do understand, however, that the English team and the Australian |

| 1:19.9 | it had to do with the English team making a decision into the third test. |
| 1:23.7 | Were they going to stay with Bazzball or traditional cricket? Jeremy, what is |
| 1:27.9 | Bazzball and what was their decision? Well, John Bazzball is a very very lightning |
| 1:33.6 | quick form of cricket. And what that means is that instead of in cricket standing |
| 1:37.6 | back and basically taking the game conservatively. So if you're a batter standing |
| 1:41.9 | there watching the balls come down to you, not hitting every ball, but just |
