And is there a connection between the two?

Australia should still beat Zimbabwe, right?

Irrespective of what you want to say about being stretched across three formats, being tired, you know, the monopolisation of the footy codes, all of these macro forces at play, you know, a cultural issue around care for T20 cricket where, you know...

the DNA of T20 cricket in Australia started with comedy.

That is, Andrew Johns was literally playing in it.

The name of the domestic tournament, the Big Bash, has to be the most cartoonish, comical name of it all.

It's made for kids.

Australia treats it like children would treat a format.

And yet you should still beat Zimbabwe.

And to what extent...

To what extent is that massive capitulation owing to fatigue, complacency, just a reality that it is the lowest priority cricket?

And ergo, we just don't bring energy and skill to those games.

They're heavy on power, the Aussie team.

Sri Lanka, and it's a dangerous trope, but of all international teams, they're probably the most wily and lacking power.

You know what I mean?

Lacking power the most.

The least powerful.

And they've been absolutely fucked on.

here you know like outsmarted outplayed outfielded out bowled um better strategy better team selection uh and like other teams have better players other teams a bit but they they structure better too you know and yeah i do i do think that australia is like we will fall over the line here yeah we'll start bombing everybody in india

And people say, oh, look, you know...
