You are listening to the Hello Sport Podcast. Punners and dribblers, welcome back to All Talk powered by the Toyota Tundra. I'm gonna keep it short and sweet, this intro. Our guest today is one of the greatest athletes this nation has ever produced. Represented the country in football, that's soccer, and cricket. I think maybe the only person To have represented their country at a football world cup and a cricket world cup. Do your own research. I'm pretty sure that's true. Uh the greatest women's cricketer of all time comfortably um It's the one and only Elise Perry punters dribbles. Put your hands together. Put your hands together. Thank you very much for coming in though. Out from uh from Silverwater. How was training today?
How'd you go? How are you hitting them?
Training was good. Um, this time of year, wickets are a little bit spicy normally. Um, haven't had lots of sun to harden them up. So um you normally wear a few, but it's not too bad to keep you. Have you got
like bruises all over your body or anything? Like, is that like Is that like
mainly like main main your legs? Even when you wear a thigh pad, the ball always misses it. Like always.
Yeah, right. It's like the one spot the pad isn't.
Yes. Exactly. It just finds its way through. Um but you know, that's okay. It's a reminder.
Is it it's is is it s are the pitches spicy generally? It feels like the pitchers are just spic uh yeah, we were talking about the Scoville level of the pitchers at the moment. It feels like the the uh what are the the ghost pepper. They're all s they all seem to be spicy at the moment in Australia, the pitches. Is that?
Uh
is that a mischaracterization of the reality of the situation? Uh
maybe it's a hyped up version of the reality. Yeah. Um
unlike us.
I don't know, I mean I think it probably often depends where you are or the time of the year and also the lead in. to an event or a match. So if you get lots of rain, sometimes they end up being a bit spicy because they just don't harden up enough or there's too much grass on them. So this you know,
like it that's just for tests, like looking at tests, they've gone shorter and shorter and shorter. Is that a pitch thing or is that a batting thing?
Um Gosh. I mean I'm not a part of these matches, but I tend to think And I sound really old here, but it's a batting thing. Yeah. 'Cause I feel like wickets would have been like that in the past. But there's probably a a bit more of a focus on moving the game along these days. Much to my
dismay, I must say. But is that moving the game along from a player's perspective? Or is it like what's the
Well, I mean I know you could it's a a bit of a moot point, but I mean, I wonder how much of an impact T twenty has had on um test match cricket in that sense. Um Yeah, 'cause Uh it the prevailing thought I think is it's not entertaining to watch a team score two hundred in a day, it's gotta be three hundred plus. But I think in really challenging c conditions, and again this is where I'm sounding old, but there is actually a lot to take enjoyment. Uh let
us sound old with ya. I like there's heaps to take. We love it.
Just like battening down the hatches and wearing a few and and, you know being dogmatic for a bit. Like I don't I don't know if that exists at the moment. And maybe that's just a bit of a tide. Um, that'll shift back again at some point, but Yeah. I I mean it it would be nice to see tests going past two days.
Well, I mean, heaven forbid we get a d like even a drawer. You know, not that I not that I crave drawers, but it just means it's gone to five days. You don't
crave drawers.
No, I don't crave drawers. It depends on the nature of the draw. Some drawers can be entertaining.
Very true.
You know?
Yeah. And I mean like 'cause don't they do they sell like the first three days of a test? I I think I think they normally s sell before the game starts the first three games in the test. I think you're a gambler if you're buying day three tickets at the moment. Huge
gambler. I reckon they've got to move Jay McGrada on day three of the situation. We haven't missed the
