This is the one where you get the extra hour in bed and you wake up and you're like, "Abba 10 hours sleeper, abba 9 hours sleeper, abba 8 hours sleeper." - Jack is just texting for context. - I was also working the game today and I was up at 4.45 AM. - Oh, Jack. - Alright mate, we got it. You've got a real job, we get it. - Yeah, yeah. But no, I did the game today, England, New Zealand. Obviously, it was a strange game not only for the cricket, but also knowing it was Divine's last game. - I caught the tail end of the radio when I was driving back from my sister's this morning. So I caught the tail end of the emotional. She got a guard of honour, didn't she? And then everyone was giving her a hug and then her Amy Jones is interviewing. It's just, it's obviously a shame that it wasn't a better game for her to go out on, but what a career. - Unbelievable. I don't really know so for that well. But I'm going to sound like a wet lady here. I cried at the National Anthem today, New Zealand National Anthem, because she was crying. - Well, if anyone's not listening to the episode we did with a couple of weeks ago, please go back and listen to it, because she spoke so candidly about this retirement. And she's not actually retired from C20 cricket for New Zealand. So she could still feature next year in the World Cup, but another World Cup. But yeah, this is the final bit of one day cricket. And obviously she's captain them and she got a wicket, I think. She got her the night out, the kite late. And she said how nice it was that she managed to manufacture. It was her and Susie Bowling at the final stage of the game. So it was obviously we don't know anything about Susie, but it kind of feels like it's going to be her last 50-year World Cup as well. But yeah, go back and listen to the episode, because she spoke so well. And it would make sense as to why you were then crying at the National Anthem today. - Yeah. And you know more than I do, but like what she's done for New Zealand cricket over the 19 years playing international ODIs. It's just, she's been through it all, hasn't she? - It's remarkable. And it's hard to imagine because we're in a phase of women's cricket where there is a lot more promotion. There is a lot more bombs on seats. There is a lot more money. There's a lot more resource. But she was probably there when you had to pay for your own kit. She would have been in that era. 19 years is such a long time in the space of our journey in women's cricket. So she will have seen it all. She's ridden all the waves. I'm still so good for it that she's never played a test match for New Zealand. - Never say never though. - Yeah, she may be. There's, she's not retired from test cricket technically. So, - No. - She could go to the show. - She retired from ODI cricket. I'm glad she, she like retires from C20 cricket, never retires from test cricket. So there's always a chance. - She's ready. Turns out, - 50 years old, because then finally put a test match on for the Kiwi's. - No, no. And how are you? - Yeah, I'm alright. I'm alright. Obviously, good days by days. But keeping busy. Doing alright. Yeah. But what we need to do, because we've not got much time, is I want you to give everyone a very, very quick rundown of the semifinal situation, because you know it. You're there. You know what's going on. Here we go. So it's being confirmed, England are playing South Africa in Guaerti on Wednesday, reserve day on Thursday, and India are playing Australia on Thursday, reserve day, Friday. India are also currently playing Bangladesh in Navi Mumbai, where the semifinal and the final is, and it's raining. - Oh, okay, rain. Sponsors this tournament. - And it's due to rain. Yeah, it's due to rain. - Oh, we. - Well, good job, this reserve day, saying, because that would have been really annoying, wouldn't it? - Well, it just put a bit of context on today's game, England, New Zealand, obviously England won. But it was, everyone's like, it's a bit of a nothing game. It means nothing. But actually, had England have lost today, they'd have finished third in the table, and if it does rain next week, they'd have been out and South Africa will go through to the final. So now we've finished second, if it rains, we're okay. - Okay, we're in that safe spot, so that's good. Is it fair to say that the semifinals are what we would have expected? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. In a way, I feel bad for New Zealand, because they might have qualified ahead of India, but India are the better team. Just, I'm surprised on the table. I thought it would be Australia, India, England, South Africa, not, not Australia, England, South Africa, India. - Yeah, it's almost like India haven't taken their home advantage, isn't it? - Yeah, they've lost too many games. They've played weird cricket, but they're at Navimon bites, and absolutely road. And, yeah, I actually think they could, they could, - Telling Australia in Navimon bite? - I hope so. I hope the semifinals are good, because obviously we saw with South Africa yesterday against Australia. What gosh, when they lose, they lose so badly, don't they? - It's crazy. - I've never seen a team qualify for a World Cup semifinal with a negative 0.3 run rate. - They've been bold out for less than 100 twice in a one day World Cup. That's mad. - And no, and no, and I've said this on air today. There is absolutely, I don't know why, and I might be wrong, and I don't want to jinx it, but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that we will be in the final now, England, South Africa. - Well, yeah, we're the better team. - We're the better team. We are just the better team, and we're way better than them, but it doesn't mean to say that it tells me in Brits and Marathon Capcom, I've a good day. - Yeah, and they've got, on paper, they have got a team that you want to be cautious of, haven't they? But it does just feel like when they get into that, that spiral of losing wickets, they just can't stop it, and that's been kind of a bit of a theme for them. But obviously when they go in, they can be a team that could score 350 if they're top 5 do fire. - And now, so it'll be a good semi-final either way, because even if South Africa aren't good, and they get rolled for 100, will feel great and comfortable, or it could be a thriller. - Little shout out to former podcast guest, Alana King, just throwing out a casual 7th, 7th, against South Africa the other day. I feel like when people come on this podcast, they then go on and do really well. - Yeah. - Should we take it? - Yeah, speaking of then. Yeah, let's take it, and then let's show everybody our guest for this week, then shall we, because then our doubt she's going to do really well. - Here you go. - Chrissy, finally, it was on, it was off. It was off, it was back on. The only thing that's more consistent than this podcast, Chrissy, is a Lissa Healey winning ICC trophies. And we've got her on the podcast. - Hello, bitch. - I know what you're going to talk about my career, my career, my starting start, and my fingers inconsistent as my appearance is on podcast. I appreciate you having me on. - No, thank you for joining us, and we did tell our listeners you were coming on Monday, but obviously, in the way. - Yeah, did get in the way, a little bit old and stuff went down and has per life nowadays trying to keep things silent. It's a little bit tricky, but everybody knows now what's going on. So ask away, if you like. - Well, how are you? Are you okay? - I'm good. I'm good. Just start a little baby care. - How's the baby care? - Yeah, a little calf niggle, a training, probably pretending like I was 21 again and running a little bit further than what I should have. So look, my lesson, but everything's tracking okay. Tämä on myös tullut, että se on tullut.
play in this tournament. Is that another perfect excuse not to have to run anymore? To be honest with you, I've been telling them this for five years and they just won't let me not run. So, yeah, I'm not sure that that is the exact excuse anymore, but anyway, we'll wait and see what unfolds out of this. Did you get pulled from the podcast Monday because they didn't trust that you wouldn't tell everyone you had a little niggle? No, well, I mean, I think we can safely say like what exactly happened on Monday was, yeah, we weren't sure how we were going to play it. I think fair play to our comms team weren't sure how to play it and then obviously, funnily enough, you saw me in the gym sitting sadly on a bike while the rest of the team was at training. So it wasn't exactly a giant secret that something was going on, but we just delayed the podcast a few days. I also saw you with a bucket of ice. Do you know what? I think people like, oh, she'll just assume that you're going for bees. And I was like, maybe we'd put us in the bees guys. Come on. But I think it's a secret anymore. And also, I don't, I don't want to tell anybody, but yeah, anyway, I did see you in the gym and then I didn't know you'd message the pod to say you couldn't do it. And then so I felt really rude. I was like, oh no, I only just put my headphones in and I was like, let's see you. It's fine guys, we're all okay. We're all good. I need to clarify something for me because your mum once told me off for how I pronounce your name. Yeah. So I've always called you a Lissa and she told me off for that. It's not a Lissa, is it? It's a Lissa. I think you've got a Lissa. You ought to really get the Aussie twang and get the Lissa in there. But if you're really worried about it, it just completely fine. That's why I've been calling you Mitch for three years because I've been scared. Scared me when I'm telling me off again. She's probably the only one that'll get you and strife it up, but yeah, Steve, they're a Sandy. She'll get you. Well, Crossy actually was dreaming about you the other night and she was telling her on cast listeners the other day she was dreaming about you and she forgot your name and called you smudge in her dream. So we all know how weird Crossy's dreams are as you discovered before this podcast started. Yeah. Yeah, I'm a little concerned about that dream right about now. But anyway, we'll move on. Yeah, move on. Anyway, so you're at a World Cup and it's going well as it often always does for Australia. Obviously no shock that you qualify for the semi as quickly as you possibly could. But how's things in camp? Are you having some fun out in India and Sri Lanka? Yeah, it's actually gone really quickly, which I don't think too many ODI World Cups, you feel like go very, very fast. It's sort of a lot of waiting and watching a lot of games of cricket and waiting for your turn. But we've obviously been in India about six weeks now after the series. We played beforehand. So I haven't heard too many people complaining about missing home or what's going on. So we've been pretty lucky. The vibes are pretty high in the group, which is a really good place to be and obviously we're playing some good cricket, which obviously does help that as well. But it's been good fun. We've been out and about. We haven't been to some of these parts of India before. So kind of getting to know them and finding a decent cafe is everyone's, you know, they enjoy doing that. So it's kind of kept everyone busy. You don't strike me as the best watcher when you're not playing. You spend a lot of time on the TV the other day with a massive smile in face, then I grumped and I smiled again. How do you find it when you've got a niggle and you have to sit out? It's genuinely horrific. It's one of my least favourite things to do because I actually love watching cricket. I'll sit there and watch most days of whatever's on the TV. It's something I enjoy doing. But actually watching my team go about it when I'm not involved. I get a mad bit of phomo. So I find it really hard. The T20 World Cup last year was probably one of the hardest games of cricket. I've ever had to watch just knowing that you can't do anything. You can't help. You can't go out there and try and do something differently. You've just got to watch it unfold and hope that and trust that the team can get it done. So that was tough. But this one was a little bit easier. I could actually move around a little bit. I could go and sit on the boundary and talk to some of the bowlers and still feel like I'm engaged as a captain and I still feel like I can I'm playing a role in this tournament. So I'll have to be back on the field at some point. So staying engaged in that regard has made it a lot a lot easier. But yeah, Midgcam was out the other night. So I've got to be careful about some of my responses to dismissals or opportunities, whatever passed by because they don't miss much over here. They really don't. Like honestly, the camera in the dugout, they had, I think, Volly, given Perry the bird the other day and I was like, that's not telling. They don't miss a lot. I think at one point they got me responding to something happened on the field, but we were actually talking about someone's bowel movements behind. So that one, they assumed that I was watching the cricket, but we were talking about something else. So you got to really be careful. As it been more frustrating missing out on that game because of the form that you're in, you're actually back to back. It's in a World Cup. It's pretty special. Yeah, I mean, I could have walked out there and got a dark A. So maybe it saved me, but yeah, I think so. I think I feel like I've been hitting the ball really well for a couple of years and just haven't really been able to stay on the park long enough to sort of find some consistency. But yeah, I feel in a good place. I mean, I had actually trained today and I had a bit of a hit and I still feel like I'm going okay in that regard. So I'm sure if the opportunity arises again, I'll be fine. What I want to know, I think we're going to ask the same question. Go on then. I want full honesty. Was that a little bit of you that was worried the other day when you were 40 odd for five or whatever it was? We're four for 60. Four for all. I've not been watching all that closely. Sorry. Yeah, why is that? Just playing a bit of golf at the minute. I found a new sport. I'm just having a bit of fun in the cold in England. She's been red and redundin me as well. We're calling it. Yeah, I'm all right. So you never know. I could come, I could come calling back. No, I think like, I mean, honestly, that's been the nature of this whole tournament. Teams have struggled at the top and you know, you've got to back to the depth that you've got. And I have been saying that for ages, even throughout the ashes sort of last summer, like I back the depth that we've got to get the job done regardless of the situation. And they continue to just pop up and stick their hand up and want to get the job done, which is really cool. There whilst I think there was frustration, I don't think we were worried at any point. You've brought the ashes up. So I'm going to ask about the ashes. Have you been involved in a better series? Oh, look, I think that was really cool. I was a really amazing experience. I guess to do that at home as well in front of the home fans. Yeah, it was really special. I think every thing sort of came together. And we played some really good cricket. And I think probably what frustrated me the most out of that was a lot of the narrative after that series was how poor England were and not a lot about how good we were. And I think that's kind of what we've reflected on it at times and go. And actually we were really good in parts and we took the game away from them. Yes, maybe we got some luck along the way and got some opportunities gifted to us. But I thought we were outstanding. And I think as soon as you guys thought you were getting a little look in, we shut the door really quickly. So I think from that perspective, it was a really pleasing summer. Sorry. Is there something quite hard to manage as Captain unlike with the leadership group that you are just expected to win every game in play? Yeah, it's tricky here. I think we also put that expectation ourselves a little bit like we want to go out there to win. You're not going out to step on the field to lose or play really poorly. So we have that expectation of ourselves, but it's also probably reassuring within ourselves as a group that it's okay to lose. And if it's if we're losing the right way, then that's okay. Like if we're playing our style of cricket and we get beaten on the day, then that's completely fine. You know, India, you know, the ice series leading in India got the better of us in that second game. We didn't play the way we wanted to and we probably took that to heart a little bit and then came out and made 400. So there's just sort of certain ways that I think we'd like to lose as bad as that sounds. And you know what, the T20 World Cup last year in the semi was an example of how we don't want to lose. We don't want to lose by being tentative, being shy, not taking the game on. We'd rather go out there and be really aggressive and lose that way. Well, I think we spoke to Kinky about this when she came on, but who kind of led the conversations around that T after that T20 World Cup? Were you a big part of that? Because obviously the ashes followed that and it didn't. You look like a different team completely from that semi final. So were you a big part of that? To me, unless there was everybody, this group's like continued to evolve over the years. The young players are coming through, feeling really comfortable in their place in this unit and wanting to speak up about how they feel about certain situations. So it was actually a really cool group effort. Everyone spoke in the meeting. Some people said what they felt at the time and felt under pressure and felt like they didn't have other options. They were actually really honest and people were great at getting around one another and saying, well, this is what we could do next time. This is how we want to go about it. This is what we did pull. This is what actually what we did really well and that didn't come off. Right. So that was really cool. It wasn't anyone driving it in particular. Obviously we got the group together to discuss it, but it was really the group's conversation. And I think everyone got a heap out of that, which was really cool. It feels like you've always been a real honest team when it comes to even when you win tournaments. It's like how can we get even better? Yeah, but that's also like the narrative outside our group is like, oh, I'll show you on a World Cup. Like, how are you going to improve? And you're like, well, across the paper like, you know, we're doing everything we possibly can. Like, I'm
or the gap keeps closing, that one frustrates me, no end. I'm like, the gap's not really been there that much. It's just that we've been in good positions to win tournaments and trophies with taking them with both hands, right? So yeah, I'd say that that's probably how we are as people as well. We never get too far ahead of ourselves in Australia. Someone will cut you down pretty quickly until you pretty shit something when you think you're going well. So yeah, I'd pride ourselves on that, but it's honestly with care, I think, I think if you're having that conversation the right way, then people are going to take it on board a lot better. We won't keep talking about serious stuff for too long, because this is no balls. But I remember going, just going back to the ashes. I remember me and you having a, we met in the tunnel down at the MCG when the test went on. Oh yeah. And how? [LAUGHTER] I've been with that word. Because you had a fight. We did a lot of fight. We actually had probably one of our most serious chats that we've ever had in cricket. But I remember talking to you. Obviously you had a broken foot at the time, and you just made yourself available and passed yourself off as fit to playing a test match. And I remember thinking at the time, I wonder how many male players have ever had to do that in their careers, because there is an MCG boxing day test match every single year for your Australian guys. But for you, it was probably one opportunity of playing at the MCG in a test. And I don't really know what my question is to be honest, but it's probably more around-- it's probably more around the opportunities that we get as female athletes feel fewer and further between. So did you feel more pressure to make yourself available for that test because you are at a certain age? I'm not going to say that you're-- You're an experienced player. Yeah, did you feel that pressure? Or are you just-- I'm going to do anything I can to play for this team? A little bit of both. I mean, I'd be lying if I said there wasn't some sort of selfish endeavor to play in that test match because of what an occasion it was. And I guess a part of me as well being capped into that in that moment was something that a young Alisa Healey starting Annaker in never ever thought that she would ever get an opportunity like that. So there's a little bit of that. But I also trusted my body. And I thought I could get through it. And I wanted to be a part of it. And the opportunity to go 16-0 was there. It was dangling right in front of us. And I wanted to be a part of that. And I wanted to lead that. So yeah, it's funny that you mentioned that. Because yeah, I think we probably do that a lot more. We want to play in those big moments because we don't get them as often as everybody else. But yeah, I was going to do anything to play that game. And I literally wasn't even in the 11 when I did that presser. So I did play myself fit. And we had to have a conversation after that. But I'd already told everyone Heather actually at the photo asked me if I was playing. And I said, done it, yep. And she just looked at me. She was bemused. And I was like, here I am holding the trophy with the pink ball or whatever to promote the game tomorrow. And I wasn't even sure if I was playing it. So it was a wild-- it was a wild week. That's for sure. Ask for forgiveness, not permission. It's true. That's true. And then I think someone had a conjecture when I chased a ball down the third man, probably after I dropped it. But I had to chase one down there and everyone had a conjecture. But I was fine. Got to hear it. How much pain were you in? Did you just take loads of mats? I was genuinely-- I was OK. It was a really weird-- I had a lot of planar-fash problems as you've probably read everywhere. And apparently this bone in my foot is a bit of a can happen after you tell you planar-fash. You can get a little stress in there. And it wasn't-- it's not a really important bone in some certain movements. It was only going to be like keeping that really aggravated it. So I was actually pretty good, to be honest. Fubi has helped as well. It was a bone injury. So it was happy. One way of getting out of Wicked Keepin for a four-day straight. See how you get to like this 10 times worse. So whatever. It was good. Good fun. One more serious one before V-Miles from our list does. They're all really excited. But how hard is it to pick your starting elevens? Does you got so many cr-- so many cricketers? Yeah, it's tough. Picking our squads of 15, I reckon, is just as hard to come into the financial year. We've got to pick a contract list. That one's tricky for them. Thankfully, I don't have to do anything about that. But yeah, elevens are tough. It's a tough discussion, you know, when people are fit. When they're not fit, who's coming in to replace them, what job they're going to do. So we're really lucky. We can literally go on matchups, conditions, and pick the best eleven we possibly can. That we think's going to get the job done. But honestly, any one of the 15 that we've got here, I know they can do the job. So it's not easy. And obviously, where the captain gets kind of the final say, but I'm always like, whatever you guys think, whatever you're going to put in front of me, we can get the job done. So we're pretty lucky. I feel like Australia is the only team in the world that could play under 11 told school cricket, where you all just rotate round and everyone has a ball and everyone has a wicket-keep. And then if you're at fight, you just move round. That could actually work. I mean, we got literally-- You do that in the next game. Well, actually, I was pretty close to having a ball against Bangladesh. So you never know what's going on followed with these last couple of guys. I would be glad to get your eyes out for that, I like that. But we're having one day. I don't have a lot of cricket left in me for Australia, but I haven't balled in international cricket yet. And as captain, I have final say in that. So you never know what's going on on the next little bit. Yes, it's good. I can ball whatever you need, but you actually balled a handy medium pace growing up. Not beautiful scene presentation. Not quite as good as yours, acrossy. But I don't have the one that comes back in. But now I've resorted to dirty side arm offspin around the wicket to the tail end. And so that's good fun. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] I imagine you were quite fiery as a seamer. You got a better sledge. In fact, we got to talk about East Legend. We can't go on to anything else before we talk. We don't talk about East Legend. But yeah, I imagine you'd have proper sledge if you were bowling. Well, to be honest, we did my fastball in career lasted two games in under 11's. And then I became the wicket keeper. And I've been stuck there ever since. But I am a little bit lippy in the nets, and I remind the baddies of when they get out. So yeah, I'm not great. I don't think I can do fastballing and be terrible. I think you've actually got a bit teamer in your old age, you know? I have. Quietly. That's not like-- That's not like-- That's not like the I'm a stumps. Well, I think international crickets change so much. And I literally said this the other night. But obviously, I wasn't playing against England. And I'm lining bed icing, and my phone buzzes about 8.30 p.m. and it's Sophie Eccleston messaging me. And I'm like, 10 years ago, this would not be a thing. I wouldn't want to buy a bit. I don't want to know. Put me out on the field. I just want to beat whoever's in front of me. And I'm going to do everything I can to possibly do that right. But now you're playing with everyone around the world. You get a nice, amazing opportunities. And if you're too much of a-- What I've learned, if you're too much of a [BEEP] around the world, then everyone starts to hate you. But I think what people have come to realize is I'm really competitive and I'm really passionate. And I care a lot about the teams that I'm a part of. And I think once you play alongside me, the opinion changes a little bit. So that's kind of nice, I think, for me, to probably showcase that to other people. And it's definitely-- I've definitely quietened down the little bit in my older age. But I'm still as competitive as ever. I remember Ash's 20-- when did we have the good test match? Was that 23? Yeah, at Monica. Yeah, but in the ODI bit, I remember I came out. I was back with Catherine for a little while. And got a couple of-- like, literally, a couple of runs got about 10. And you just turn around to you and I was like, no, she's going to say something to you. And you just-- you asked me if you could have my back, because it sounded like you didn't do it. And I was like, why are you being nice? And then that got me a little more than you slidging me. Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah, well, there you go. So sometimes it's just about knowing which band it works in what situations. I think the hardest thing I've ever done in my career was when I got the pair at Monica in that test match. And I copped an all-mighty gobful from Brent on the way through. And Ray Chains is actually at the non-striker's end and thought she was going to have to run in there and stop a fight. But I just kept it all in and kept walking because you know it was about it. You got nothing to say. I just got a pair in a test match. Yellen Scream, all your luck, it's fine. Just let it all out. And then I'm going to go make some change room and cry. But sometimes it's just like nothing needed to do about it. But it's good fun. It's all good. I don't think I've ever been on the end of a sledge from you because I was by the elevenths. There's no need. I got one from Moon's once during the WBBL. She was like, oh, here she is, the best part. I was like, mate, you know I'm going to get a duck. You just have to hit the stump. And I did. So I got to say-- Did he get four ducks?
in a row. I did, yeah. I will have an. I think I'm quite proud of it, but the worst overseas sign in the WBBL's ever had. Well, I cannot put it this way for you. Well, I've not seen you out for you, but I am. But like, the opening bed is right. Face the best ball in the world, first up. The tail end is face the best ball in the world at the back end. So I mean, the way the ball ends, I'm sorry, but a little bit. So ducks are okay. It happens. Look, and the tail end is done on socials. And the tail end is done as much time in the net. So, no, you definitely don't. Just do what you can. I mean, your four defense crossy and that test match was unbelievable. So that's all you have. Oh my god. How frustrating was that to watch? Edge? I was. You know what? It was, but it was just so good. And I think you. It's a watch of the class. No, if you watch about. I'm smiling the whole time because it is just absolute theater that like, it would come down to the last half an hour of play. It was remarkable, but not frustrating. Just funny to be a part of. I remember like. So I've walked out, wait, we'll talk about the test much a bit more. I walk out and I turn to Lisa and I was like, at least what we're doing here. Are we going for the win? Because I was 11 in that game. And she's like, mate, don't lose it. So I was like, oh, okay. So I've got that in my head and I'm going out to back with Sophie Eccleston. First ball, I think T Max Bowling at me, like this juicy half-following on, like, right, this is full of swing and miss. You can't keep your hand just stumps and you're like, next ball is not gone. I need to get my head on here. I was like, I'm going to just not lose this game. Next ball, swing and miss. I was like, oh, God, right. I've got to start defending it now. I just want. Kingy Baldi, the juiciest full toss I've ever seen and I've never seen a better, more disciplined, four defence in my life. I had to go by the end. On top of it. As it came down, it was like, above my island, I was like, having to defend it down. Yeah, it was wild, but fair play, man. Well done. A good fun. Good game. A good game. Well, it's one of my favourite pitches in my career is all of you surrounding me defending a full toss. Yeah, it was good. Good fun. So good. We've had our listeners get in touch and I. we have no idea where these questions are going to go because we've not looked at them, but there will be some weird and wonderful things we've had. Oh, this is actually quite a good one. I don't know who it is. Her's only underscore five. Which silver brunt has given you more stress in your career? Oh, Catherine's probably kept me up more at night because I stress about the next day, but I'd say that Nat's probably given us more stress as a unit, so both equal. She does well against you, doesn't she, not? Yes, she loves it. Sometimes, sometimes some players just match up really well against our bowling attack and she's one of those pretty men, I know as well. What the hell? It's just, I don't know. I don't know what it is, but I think we're just going to follow a few lob ups and see if I can hit them instead. Yes. Three of us have a full toss this hour. 33% of them get wickets. We've had a question from Suzy B, who is an Australian, and she says, what brand of gum do you chew while you're playing? Because I often wonder when you're out there for too long, how does it, does it become tasteless? So yeah, what are you chewing? Yeah, a bit of extra. Spearman, not the blue unpavedment sucks. Spearman is my go to. And I've been as many as I possibly can just to keep my anxiety levels at an acceptable point. What? So you've lost until the drinks ran? Now, like I, when I got to bat, I just chew up until I get tired and I'm normally puffing. So, but if I got through to the drinks, I don't use it after that. Thank you. I work really hard on it. Yeah. The time is sledge and chewing gum. It's a quality workout. She is old. J Cook says, who's the better mixer you or your fella? You've got my friends. I do. Doesn't necessarily make me any better. We're faithfully way both do. Yeah. I have a go. Actually, to be completely honest, Mitch is the most sentimental one that I am. So he actually had to peel all the mine out of a box and like put them up beautifully in a nice display. I've actually just like pulled them all in a box and off I go, look at them later in life. But I don't know, we both do different things. I think what he does is really impressive and how his career is panned out has been pretty cool to watch. So maybe him. Do you have a no cricket role when you get home? Like you can't talk about cricket. We can't give one another advice. That's probably the only, it's not off limits, but it's probably like not really on because I don't bowl left arm same and he doesn't bat properly. So that's a no go. But we do talk about cricket. Like I said, I love watching cricket. He doesn't like watching it at all. So I'll often have it on the TV and he'll go, make a long. So it works well. Didn't he commentate on, was it the, was it the pair test match? Yeah, he actually loves it. He won't, he won't do any sort of cons on any of the men's cricket, but he's happy to do it on the women's game. And I like, he's around our groups a lot. Yeah, he knows everyone, he understands the game probably more than anybody else knowing our conversations are right. So he's actually really the one to have in there because he gets it. He was an adora and the adora would be like, come on, I'll stare the part if they don't ask me twice. Say something else. Tell me again. WBBL fan page of us, do you still get discount at KFC? And I have to ask and I need confirmation. Is this you? Yeah, that's me. Yeah, I love you working in KFC. Yeah, I was at uni studying marine biology and I was working at KFC and I absolutely loved it. They were training me out there just to be now. KFC are our main sponsors, so I get, like, give vouchers and stuff now, but, you know, I did a late athlete, I don't need it too. Of course, yeah, of course. Yeah. Of course, of course. I thought that was AI and it's really weird that it's now doing the rounds again. Yeah, so I was literally being trained up to be the manager of that restaurant and I got picked to go to the 2010 World Cup and I literally walked in there and was like, guys, I've just got picked for a show. I've got to go to a World Cup. I don't need, I can work here anymore and they were like, oh, we'll keep you on the books. We'll keep you on the books if you want some shifts when you come home. Never went back. So I could actually still be on the books at Concord KFC, so she had out to them, not coming back. Yeah, amazing. We're a biologist. Did that take a back seat as well? Are you going to go into that later in life, do you think? No, I certainly fell about five subjects short. In Australia, you can only defer 10 years, I think it is. And I got to my 10th year in the uni finally, but to be out. So I fell five subjects short, but I think if I did a teaching degree, I could teach science. So, yeah, there you go. Oh, wow. Then there's me that just got scraped through my GCSEs. Pesys World says, "Your back informed. Did someone promise you unlimited beer?" Steve, no, I found some rhythm. Yes, nice. Who looks after the dogs when you're both up tour? Oh yeah, good question. Actually, we moved out 12 months ago and a lot of our family, which is family, actually live on the property now. So they actually just look after the dog and they've got a young child. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. On the top of the carpet, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Did you leave me a house for the trophies? No, but in Australia right now, and as you guys who probably attest to in the UK as well, like everyone lives on top of one another now, so we actually found some land out a little bit, still in Sydney out a little bit. So we got a couple of acres of land with a beautiful house and some of our family moved in because I've got a young child and it's expensive in Sydney. So they look after the dog when we are gone and it helps them because they've got to get, like I said, they got a young kid and it gives them a good night's sleep, so they're pretty happy about it. So, that's a bit of charity work as well. You're giving back to your community. It's family. Giving back to the family, yeah, it's a stark hostile at the moment. There's a lot of them living there, but it is good fun. I actually don't come from a big family, so to have family around is quite nice for me. That's cool. We'll get an invite to the house obviously when we're next in Australia, won't we? You're more than welcome anytime I've offered that. As long as we're looking after the dogs. What is the smallest object you could use as a cricket bat and still hit six with? Good question. Oh, Jesus. I reckon you could get away with a hockey stick. I mean, taking a serious effort, but a hockey stick is quite, I mean, it's longer, but it's thin, so golf club. Oh, no, that'd snap. A cricket ball would not work. Oh, yeah, true. You like your golf as well, don't you? You've got a little, you've got a little husband and wife golf day or something. A little trophy? No, we do. We play for a perpetual trophy, yeah. Ask how that one's going. I think I'm five from six of years of it or seven from seven maybe. I think Mitch won last year, so.
Yeah, I'm gonna to get the slack a little bit. - Do you put that in your trophy cabinet? - Oh, it's front and center. It actually sits on the bar. So our trophy cabinet is like tucked away in another room, no one really sees, but it's still here cups it's front center in the bar. - Steely coat, that's a great name. - Good. - Thank you. - Leechy, I don't think it is Phoebe, just says, if you make runs with a certain bat, do you keep it until it breaks down? - Yeah, I'm actually, I don't go through too many bats throughout my career. I've probably, the one I'm currently using, I've had for the last three years, I reckon, just get sexually minus lever chains are stolen off in England a few years ago. And yeah, I warmed down. I was in his ear the whole time, that's the best bat in the bag. I wanted I wanted it, and he finally just gave it to me. And I've used it for last like three seasons, I think. Yeah, the only bat I've retired properly is, I put the 170 from the world cup away. - I'm off cup, sorry. - I think I gave you 70. - Yeah, and the tea, yeah. They only, they only two but, so I think I've retired, that the T20 world cup in the MCG and 170, I've put them away and everyone, all the others I just have used throughout my career, so yeah, I don't go through too many. - I wish I had that conundrum. - Should I retire a bat? - I don't think I've scored 170 altogether with any of mine. - But you're about to sound a good remeber, I think you should hang on to that one. - You can have some of that. - You can hear so, and if you want. - Thank you. - Okay, here we go. Big Mac says, "If you were stuck on a desert island, which teammate would you want to be stuck with?" - Probably in the Aussie team. Probably like Georgia Werem or someone like that. I feel like she'd be quite handy and could probably get us off the desert island, so that would be useful. Either that or that moons, because moons and I'd be on the opposite sides of the island and we'd just kept ourselves and be completely fine. And we'd high five every day on the way through and be good fun. - Yeah. (laughing) - Oh, Belly's here, 'cause Embelly's here, could just helicopter you off. (laughing) - Yeah, they'd find, I think if I was on an island with Annabelle Sutherland, they'd find us real quick. So yeah, that might be a good one. - This is actually a really good one, and I've been quite vocal about it. Have you been frustrated with the weather during this World Cup, especially in Colombo? - Yeah. Yeah, and this is probably another sign of me maturing in my old age is I actually feel, I feel really sad for the teams that have had rein-affected games or washouts that have ultimately affected their World Cup. So I mean, you know, for the sake of I'm just sitting in that press conference kind of talk about a loss, but know that they're out of the World Cup, basically because two games got washed out in Colombo, I think it's devastating. And you know, you train four years for these opportunities and to have a rein place such a massive part, and it's just not fair. So even for the likes of Pakistan, to be as heavily affected as what they are and they're forced to play there. Yeah, it's been hard to watch and it's been really frustrating. And I mean, we were lucky enough to get through one game. We had one washout, but we played one. So we're pretty lucky in that regard, but it's ultimately has affected this World Cup, and it's a bit of a shame. - Very cool. It's cool, well done. I've liked it off every day. - Yeah, I'll be paid to do that. I'm still paid by the ICC. - Especially when you did the prize, won't it? - One more. One more because we've had you probably a bit longer than we should have done. We've mentioned beer a few times. So let's go back, asking what's the weirdest thing that you've done while celebrating? Just one because there's probably heaps. - The weirdest thing I've done while celebrating. Funny thing I've heard about, and I wasn't there because I was still battling concussion, but in the 2018, sorry, sorry again. In the 2018 World Cup Final. I'm so sorry. - Sorry, I'm so good. - We made England in the final. The girls actually, I went to bed, but the girls went out, we were in the West Indies, and they have those floating little things you can sit on out in the water and they've attached you to the bottom of the ocean. Well, the girls got in one and unclicked it and decided to go and try and steal a boat out in the middle of the ocean. So they were floating out to see on one of these things at some, I'm godly hour. Finally enough, it was right around the time that breakfast was reopening. So all of these older couples that were staying at a resort, were watching all this unfold. And they were, oh, I went down to Brecke a little bit later and this couple came up to me and said, did you get there? And I said, what do you mean? He goes, oh, the girls on the little life boy thing, did they get to the boat? Did they get it? I was like, I have no idea what you're talking about. It turns out later they got there and then got booted off really quickly and got told to put it back. So I think that's probably one of the funniest ones I've heard about that. Can you name some names? No. Harry. No way. I did not think she'd be doing that. Yeah, I'm happy to name Pesima. There was a little Victorian crew, so you could figure that out. I think that had a good time. The best ones are when you stroll back in for breakfast like that. Like, you never made a bird yet. I think I went snorkeling after the West Indies in 2010 where I went snorkeling about 6am. And that was not cool because I hadn't slept. So that was not the most safe thing I've ever done. But it was good fun. And, cross it, you've got the final classic no balls question. It's kind of the only thing we've asked, the Aussies though, isn't it? So we asked Pes or someone emailed in and said, "Sepes, what is the biggest animal that you could catch if it was fired out of a cannon at you?" And she said that she reckon she could catch a one bat. Kingi said, "Quala," because it kind of gripped on to you. And then we sent it to Sof Divine, and she said, "A manatee," which just feels wild, thinking about it, because they're about 108 sleepers. And sleep rig. Massive. But she's a strong gal. So we've got to ask you, if we fired an animal out of a cannon at you, what do you think is the biggest one you could catch? You know what? I'm going to go with a bird of some sort. So, Eric and I could catch. Eric and I can catch an emu. If you fired that at me, Eric and at some point, I could grab it. So whether it's spot, yeah, whether it's spotty, like I could probably get that, or I could grab it to neck on the way through. I already do so in an emu. As it's trying to fly. I could java-lead. Yeah, we'll get it. Yeah, it would catch it. OK. We're going to make a day of it anyway. We'll get you all in. We'll get the cannon. We'll get the animals. We'll do it in your house, actually. It feels like you've got enough space. I'm an animal of us, so I won't be taking part in shooting anything out of the cannon, but it has a heart rate. Thank you very much. But, yeah, we could put the past choices there. Let's try that. We'll get past it, Charlie. No, no, it could be funny. OK. Heels, thank you so much for joining us. And we hope that you are back out on the park. I appreciate it. Thanks for having me. Good luck, Alisa. Thank you. I'm a little bit of a proxie. Yeah. I got a text today, because a little bit of that podcast was played out in the interval of the radio. A little teaser. A little teaser about the podcast. Got a text saying she's an oil-only likeable. And I couldn't agree more, because she really, really wanted it. It's Alissa Healy. Is she so good? And she's been that-- Alisa. She's been that player over the years where you want to hate her. And you're doing it into you like that. And she's so humble and so kind. And you just actually really like her. I loved how much she hated when we spoke about how big her house was. She's just got this acreage of land that she's like in family members just reside on as long as they look after her dogs. Yeah. I was like, hang on, hang on. Let's go. Let's talk about how much land you have. Yeah. She really seemed quite reluctant to invite us, but we did invite ourselves on the podcast. So she couldn't seem rude and not follow through with that. Well, she did say to you, you're always invited. I'm not sure I quite got that invite. Yeah. But I don't actually know that well. I've never played with her. She's one of those few players that you feel like when she's on your team, you'd really get on with her, but she's bloody annoying to play against. And I've never had the opportunity to play with her. So I've always just kind of been annoyed by her, because she just scores loads of runs against us. And then we had the opportunity. It would have been my first year of superchargers. And she was our overseas player. And she got injured and couldn't come over. And I remember being quite apprehensive about our personalities, clashing. But now I know that we would have got on so well. We would have been probably the pranksters in the dressing room. There's always a next time. Always there is. But she was a belt. So I was actually very good at interview. Hope you all enjoyed it. What's happening next? Probably there'll be a work at Winnerbell at the time and next, do a podcast. That's exciting, isn't it? Oh, we might have to emergency part of the thing when we're at the final. Yeah, OK, so enough. Yeah. Crossy, I want you to get in touch with us. And all of us, please, and thank you. Yes, you can email us on

We've got it down to a T. We've got it. It's because we've pinned the message again. So we know what our email and our what's up number is. Yeah, because five years later, we have no idea. Crossy, I will see you in about 10 days. You will be doing because you home soon. Big good luck to England in the semi-finals.
