You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Fine
from News Talk ZEDB.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
News Talks ABE seventeen away from two. Let's get you
across the Tasman. Our Australian correspondent at this time most
Saturday afternoons is Adam Peacock who joins us now. But
a tennis to talk. But can we start with the cricket.
Adam Fifteesh Australia India at the SCG India all out
one eighty five yesterday Australia battling a bit at sixty
two for four, but incredible scenes at the end of
(00:35):
day one last night just Brie Boomra dismissed Usman Kowaja
and then turned to glare at nineteen year old opener
Sam Constace, and then all the Indian players came running
in and the yahooing and apparently in fact it looked
as though Sam Constace had earlier been sort of mouthing
off a little bit at Boomra and various other people.
(00:57):
And I noticed that this has garnered a little bit
of mixed reaction online. Sam Constance, this nineteen year old
who's only really just arrived in ten cricket, does he
have to be a bit careful with the way that
he conducts himself.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, Cadet Pine, it was amazing. Day one at the
SG had absolutely everything so at forty seven thousand people there,
which some kind of record, I think. But yeah, I
think now people are having pretty strident opinions on what
they think of Sam Constace, both you and in India
for starters, and I've got a fair idea what they
(01:33):
reckon of him over in India.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Look, it's just basically down to opinion, isn't it your
personal preference for me? I might be like you because
I'm a middle aged variety that you think, well, I mean,
do you really need to get involved there? Is it
really your argument to kind of chime in with or
do you just stay out of it and let us
he deal with the last ball of the day, whereas
younger generations are absolutely lacked that up. So in a
(01:59):
wider sense it's bad for cricket maybe not. Is it
bad for Sam Constae perhaps is he going to get
in trouble? We'll wait and see. Yeah, it's one of
those things that really there's no right or wrong hand
for the match referee has with the day.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well, let's set up a very intriguing second day and
a fifth tist. Can I just ask you about Scotti Boland.
The pick of the ball is yesterday he took his
fiftieth wicket in his thirteenth Test and an average of
under twenty. This is some story, isn't it for a
bloke who made us Test day built what thirty two
years old?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, yeah, it's incredible and the type of guy that
like when he goes down you saw him on day one,
he goes down to find the leg after he's over
where he's taken a couple of wickets or whatever, like Dell.
It still doesn't comfortably with him, like everyone like yelling
out of him and carrying on. He's just kind of
polite little wave. Certainly a bit different to Saan Constance
who goes down to the downtre at the mcg and
(02:51):
starts doing an aerobics class. So yeah, he's he's a
pretty kind of inward guy, Scotty Bowlin. But when he's
when he's he's taken, you ask a lot of the
other cricketers actually point out of here, who face him?
Who face all these guys in the nets, The best
placeman we've got. I als say Scotty Bolin is an
absolute nightmare because it's always just doing enough to trouble
(03:14):
you and worry you around that mid drift area. So
if you know what I mean, Yeah, he's certainly a
huge asset to Australian cricket. And look, he's probably already
paid seventy tests if he's in another era.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Is it just because he was behind Stark, Hazelwood and Cummons?
Is that basically it?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, and you can't argue with that, even I think
the most procial Victorian, I'll look at it and go
Almo's probably fair enough these three who are all going
to go down as Hall of famers as far as
Australian cricketers concern. He's just come along at the exact
same time as they have. So it's pretty unfortunate for
Scotty Bolin, but still a huge asset that is going
to have a huge part to plan next summer's ashes
(03:52):
as well.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Absolutely, all right, let's move to tennis. You've been covering
the Brisbane International Tennis tournament to feed for Novak Djokovic
at the hands of American prodigy Riley Opelk. How big
a surprise was this.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
No, it was Matt. I mean you look at Riley's ranking,
it's too just inside of the top three hundred. But
that's a bit of a misnowner because he spent basically
two and a half years off off the circuit. He
only came back halfway through last year after having a
hip surgery and then two wrist surgeries. So he has
been top twenty in the world. So it's not a
complote shock that this guy has been able to do
(04:26):
something like this. What was the shock is that he
hasn't done anything like this for a very long time.
And Djokovic is Novak Chokovic on Australian courts, so yeah,
a bit of a worry for Novak. He couldn't find
a way against the guy that traditionally he has. He's
had a couple of losses to huge So this Riley
of Purple, by the way, he's nick seven foot tall
and as you can imagine, your service bombs. So Novak
(04:50):
historically has been able to find a way against the big,
big service on tour, but last night he couldn't. And yeah,
it was too good the American Once the ball got
on the ground and there were Rabelais. He was hitting
winners as well, so yeah, it was an epic win.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
For him and Jocovic of course was in doubles ex too,
with Nick Kurrios going down to our men actually Michael
Venus and Nicola Michticch. Was it box office? Curios out
there tried.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
To be he wasn't quite in the full entertainment mode
and he was, Yeah, he was trying to get the
crowd going, and him and Novak it was just a
weird pairing to still saying, but they're like your guy
and the Croatian. They're just a better combo, better doubles players,
so they knew their angles and everything. But it was
(05:37):
entertaining for a couple of matches. And I think Curios
is maybe going to play with Clock and Archers down
to the Australian Open, which will light up the second
week perhaps if they get on a run again. So yeah,
Curios has got his own worries. He wasn't quite sure
about his physical capabilities coming out of this tournament. His
wrist and a few other things that could go wrong
might go wrong down at the Australian Open. So it's
(05:58):
a big wait and see to see how he gets
through that first week.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Indeed, Yeah, well look forward to seeing how that goes.
And so is what semi finals for both men and
women today in Brisbane?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah, there semi finals at Pelco who we mentioned he's
playing against pericarda Frenchman who's six to eight and so
so I've got the theory that maybe they should just
play nine points starting with with no service, and whoever
wins the best of those nine points wins the match
because other than outside of that, it's going to be
a service. I think Peracart's six aces against Nikiios the
(06:30):
other day. So yeah, it's the land of the Giants
at the moment. But the women's event sate ANCA players
on Dreva to really top players. So yeah, good of Nybrision.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Excellent stuff. Hey, and I'm always good to catch up.
The Aussie Open will meet with us before we before
we know it, so we'll look forward to us staying
in touch with you on that. Enjoy the rest of.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Your day, too easy. I'll be in Melbourne next week,
so look forward to it.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
No good on you, Adam, willok forward to Chetney to
you then, Adam Peacock, our regular Australian correspondent. The Australian
Open starts on Monday, January thirteenth. It's what's that Monday week.
The men's ASP class of course, this qualifying on at
the moment. The first round proper starts on Monday, with
the final next weekend and then a lot of these
plas the men's players. The women's plans of course as
(07:13):
well will head to Melbourne for the Australian Open. Speaking
of the ASB Women's Classic, we have our semi final
lineup confirmed. The fourth quarter final is complete and Alicia
Parks has been in country woman Katie Volinets in the
what a great name for a tennis play Volinets in
an all American quarter finals. So Alicia Parks sixty one
(07:35):
sixty four straight sets winner. She will now face Naomi
Osaka in the second of the semifinals. The first of
the semis will be between Robin Montgomery, who won her
way through yesterday and Danish fifth seed Clara Talson, who
completed a straight sets win over Madison Keys in the
rain interrupted quarter final which was completed just a couple
(07:58):
of hours ago. So Robin Montgomery against Clara Talson and
Naomi Osaka against Alicia Parks. Those are the semi finals,
which will happen from three o'clock this afternoon.
