| 0:00.0 | This is the Friends Minister debating society. I'm John Batsua, Jeremy Zakis, who is teaching me about cricket. |
| 0:06.0 | However, we're going to do the first report about how well the Australian team is doing. |
| 0:12.6 | Go ahead, Jeremy. They're winning too much. Where are they winning? |
| 0:18.5 | Yes, that's right, John. Look, we have finally won against the Indians and the current Indian series. |
| 0:22.8 | Now, this is the far-dived test. This is the crime delicrimal of the competition. |
| 0:26.8 | This is a big one, basically. After a half-port battle over many weeks, which we were speaking about, say three or three weeks ago, |
| 0:32.8 | we were going to last but finally Australia has won. But it wasn't easy. It was a very tough battle. |
| 0:38.1 | We are only won by, I believe it was only 22 runs in the end, but we got there. |
| 0:42.8 | We actually beat them, which shows that with England out there being one of the top sides of the country, |
| 0:48.0 | India being one of the top sides of everything, even Schellacchia, the Australian teams things that have the right mix. |

| 1:13.8 | Yes, and I think the only change they seemed to make was that they took away some of the aggressive, |
| 1:18.4 | bad ball kind of plan, which is where basically the batter is better as hard as they can the whole time. |
| 1:23.3 | The ball is ball as fast as they can the whole time, which is very tiring. It's very strategic on the team, |
| 1:27.8 | especially those five days. They actually took away the fact that they were doing that very much through, |
| 1:33.5 | I get to say 90% of the time in some of their time, and got back to an older style of cricket, |
| 1:38.2 | where it's much more strategic, if the batter goes up, waits for the balls to come down, |
| 1:42.4 | doesn't keep every ball kind of watching them a bit, then goes after the ball, I guess the same work, |
| 1:47.8 | about midway through the five day series. There's a very strategic way, and it was probably |
| 1:52.8 | attuned a little bit to how the Indians played as well, which is in a very similar fashion, |
