¶ Introduction to Muttly Crew
Welcome ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another episode of Muttly Crew and we are here to go around the kennel to see what's going on in our lives. My name is Jake. I'm here with Cody, Carl. My name is Cody. Oh, I like it. My name's Carl. Oh, that's hot. I am Carl. Carl. Of the Miss Van. Anyway, we're here talking about the weekend and what else is going on. on. I think we're going to start. We're going to talk about it.
We're going to talk about the great achievement here made by myself. There we go. Getting my first ever Club Outdoor Cricket 5 Wicked Hall, baby. I'll tell you what. It was an achievement. A couple of close calls, a couple of fours for the last couple of weeks. Just quickly. I'm going to have to quickly turn this fan off because your tickets are going to blow off otherwise.
Fucking Fucking tickets over here. You know, it might have not been against the greatest team, but, you know, you've got to still get five out of ten. Oh, these were 14-year-old kids again, were they? No. No one under 18, I don't think. I'm not going to. Yeah, let's not. I'm not going to say that. Gears were turned, and I was like, I'll just shut up. I'm not going to make a comment on the last wicket, but I am going to make a comment on what happened just before the last wicket.
So this bloke, who this bloke is Jake Carter, by the way, has had a history of only being able to get four. And then for whatever reason, once he gets four wickets, he just forgets that there's a pitch, can't put the ball on it, just gets absolutely sprayed. Anyway, he got four again, and I'm just like, he's not getting five. He can't do it. He chokes. and dead set just before he got his fifth wicket, old mate just absolutely powder puffs one back to him.
Oh, here we go. And he puts it down. No way. And I just lose me shit. You're all drop, caught, and bowled. You're all joking. Everyone just starts laughing because we just know that he can't get himself a four-four. And old mate, number 11, just powder puffs one back to him. Oh, my gosh. He did not powder puff it. He did all right. Like, other side of the pitch, low to my right. You know, every catch in the world is hard. I should have caught it. Sorry, what? Low and right to your...
Yeah. Low and right? Mate, you took one step to your right. Nah, I took about three. Other side of the pitch. It was around your hip. No, it wasn't. I made it look really good because I moved very well. I got there. How do you make a drop catch look really good? You made it look like it was... Fuck it. You made it look like you were standing too close at second slip. And you had to quickly... I got a little excited, okay? I thought it was there.
And then I dropped it. And I was like, fuck. I had one ball left in my over, and it was the last wicket. I'm like, if I don't get it now, I'm not getting another bowl, because I believe we would have got one of these two out the next over. So then I just did what I had to do. Threw down a bit of a sharp ball. Bit of a cider. Bit of a cider. Straight through him. Middle stump. Mould him. Pfeiffer. Celebrate. A little run all round. A bold five for two.
Joking. What an embarrassment. And, you know, you can't just say I got... I didn't just mop up. I didn't just do a Mitchell Stark. I got the two openers again, you know. No, you didn't. I did. You know, look at the stats, mate. Oh, we're going to go to the online stats because they're always right. You got two. Oh, you didn't get Rick. Oh, well, it's the wrong way around with the stats. But I got two good bats. I was going to say, we're going to believe the online stats now.
I've got two of the top five batters. And then I've got... Yeah, but they've only got three batters. Got put to the sword a bit. Had a little break. How many runs did you go for? 35. Oh, four overs. Six overs. This guy is something else. What did you do yourself, big fella? I fielded. And then... Did you make it a 10 this time? Hey. Yeah, I got 24. And then... Rolling again, you know, just smoking them. And then just took it too easy. I think second or third ball hit for six.
And I don't think I took a single until like probably five or six overs in. I just kept hitting boundaries. And then I got a half tracker. And I was like, oh, yeah, I'll just time this. I won't belt it. Middled it, and I also was hitting into the wind. Oh, fuck. But the thing that got us was because the first six I hit, I just, like, chipped it away, and I middled it, and it was into the wind.
It was the same side, and it went all the way, and I was like, oh, I just have to middle it, and I'm still good. Yeah, no, I was not good. This one was a bit more cow corners, a bit further. If he went for it, if he put his muscles into it. If I'd actually followed through, I was good, but I just, nah. And then I thought I was all right, too, with the bloke that was out there. Yeah, I did not think he was going to catch it either.
Nah, because dead set, like three overs before, the guy that opened with Gaz, the captain, put one straight up, top edge straight up, old mate come running in, didn't look like any chance of catching it, and I don't even think he got a hand to it. And he was under it for about two minutes. So I was like, I saw him out there, and I was like, oh, even if I slightly miss it, I'm pretty good. He fucking swallowed it. I was like, fuck.
This bloke will take this one. A shout-out to Gary Copeland today, too. It's his birthday. Happy birthday. And he got a nice 50-noddy out and got the boys home. So now he's got one more regular game of the season, which it's a bit of a must-win now because some results went their way. So the top three is pretty close. So he's going to make sure we win or not get pumped to make sure we make it to the final the week following.
But I think we should, especially how we've been playing this year, the start of the season, the last couple of months, we've been pretty good. Good. Grood. Grood. But yeah. I am Grood. Looking forward to it. Two more games. I am Grood. Let's win a chip. Which one? Fourth grade. Crinkle? To win it. Nah, straight cut. Straight cut? Anyway, let's get to it. Let's get to the next talking point I like to talk about. Let's talk about the cricket Australian Test team.
What a win they got today. They finished off the Kiwis who just cannot beat Australian Test cricket. It's pretty funny. They're like four for 50 or something. It's pretty funny. Five for 80. Five for 80. Couldn't get a job done. You're a geogun. And they dropped Mitch Marsh. Did they really? Dropped him on 28.
Tim Sally's first ball of the day On day 4, Which was the 7th ball of day 4 Mitch Marsh just cut it Straight to Ravindra And he put it down But then they thought they were off the hook Because the next ball Travis Head did the exact same shot Except whoever I think it was, Will Young at point Actually held it, Ravindra But then I feel sorry for that He's had a poor series He felt like shit today In day 4 I feel like he's fielded like shit the whole time.
He's been a liability in the field, and he hasn't quite been scoring with the bat. But then, yeah, it was... But I think... Big Bison Marsh and Alex Carey, the 140-run partnership. Yeah, fuck whatever you want to say. 140 partnership, got the job done.
¶ Australian Test Cricket Drama
I think they missed a trick after they got the Bison out, because they got the Bison out, so they brought on the young fella on debut. Got Starkey out. And got Starkey out next ball. Golden Quacker, thank you very much. And then... Well, that's usually what happens when you get them out the next ball. Yeah. You're a bowler, mate. You should know this. Yeah. Takes five for it and doesn't know what I'm... And then the young fella...
Just, I don't know. After about his third over, they should have taken him off. Started getting a bit wild, didn't he? Well, not wild. He just, they didn't change their plan to what they were doing to Cummins. They just kept bowling full. They thought the young fella could just go through him. There was one point, I think they said, he bowled a bouncer and he jumped up a little bit on him. And they were like, you need to put someone in close. You need to put them around the bat.
I felt like they didn't bring him in enough early enough. Like, there's three wickets to get. Like, come in and take some catches. But with the way he was bowling, they're not going to bring him in. No, I know. But I just felt like it took them too long because they left him out there and they were getting singles really easy. They felt like they were rotating the strike easy apart from coming right in and going, if you want to hit your boundaries, hit your boundaries.
Because at a certain point, you realize, okay, we've got to take three wickets and they've got to get 30 runs. We've got to stop. The runs will come. Well, when Cummins come out there, they need 57 to win. And Glenn Phillips was threatening all morning. So I would have kept him on from one end, and I just thought they took too long. Especially against Carey, because he got Carey out in the first innings. They took too long to get Matt Henry back on.
I would have taken the young fella off, Matt Henry back on. Well, see, they nearly put Phillips on at the end. Phillips had all his gear off ready to go, and then they went, and Phillips went back over to the umpire, got all his stuff back up, and then Henry come on. That's cool. I think Matt Henry, he's been by far the best bowler of the series. He should have been back on really quick. The effort he's been putting in.
I've actually never really rated him but I think like this series he's actually shown me that actually he's a, Test cricket bowler. And then you look at his stats from the last few years. I'm like, actually, he's actually been doing it for a while. I just, I guess, never read him. Because he always was that third seamer behind Bolt and South. And he just always seemed to be like the shit one. And I respect that review from the big bowler down the end. Oh,
yeah. I respect what he says. I can pick him. Yeah. What happened? He's just taken a big five. He is a world-class bowler. So, when he rates a bowler like Matt Henry, I'm behind him. Mate, he. I'm with him. I respect that. Future scout here. Yeah. He knows what he's looking for in a bowler. Yeah, he used to sit around the fields watching little kids. I might just have to start playing some two-day cricket so I can get fucking 10 bags. 10 bags? Jesus. That'll just get you through the Sunday.
Anyway, so yeah, again, Australia beat New Zealand. Now it's, what is it? New Zealand beat Australia against cricket. Since 1993. That's longer than I've been alive. Was it David Boone? Or no, who? It was Merv Hughes. Merv Hughes was playing in the last time that he bowled the last ball and it went for buys. Leg buys, yep. Went for old leg buys, caught the loss. Sort of, again, describes my gears. That's only a two-test series.
They're fucking stupid, especially when it looked like New Zealand was going to win this. It was going to be a one-on and we're going to blow up about it again. From 2027 or whenever it is, there's no more. They're like, oh, we're bringing it in. And I was like, oh, beautiful. When? 30-84. We're on here. Beauty. Thank you. you. And now what about this? Australia do not play test cricket now for another nine months, so this is crazy. I don't like it.
What are we checking there, Kyle? Something's going on? I'm into it. Summer's mic'd up. There you go. It doesn't have to be like that, does it? I've been talking into it like this the whole time. Yeah, but then you were doing it. Yeah, because I'm dodging a weaver, mate. Boxing on the mic, eh? Oh, I'm just respecting the balls. Anyway, yeah. So no test cricket for nine months for Australia, which sucks because it's the best cricket.
But yeah. That's what happens when summer ends, mate. Cricket stops. We've got the World Cup coming up, though. What World Cup? T20. T20? No, it's not cricket. ICL? IPL starts soon. They'll be cranking up. Jesus. Oh, did you see? I'm a purist, mate. Talking about bringing up the IPL, did you see Elise Perry hit that six into the fucking sponsor car? Yep. Smashed the back window? Punched it through the back window. Oh, dude.
Absolutely obliterated that back window. As if you'd have it at a... I mean, the odds of that happening would be fairly high. But to have your bloody sponsor car inside the... Not up in the stand somewhere, but inside the boundary and she just going whack, bang. Oh, they're obviously pretty confident none of them could hit it that far. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got that wrong. I'm at a winnings game. What the fuck? Why don't she got it? Like she gets to keep the car now. Yeah.
You damage it. You get it. It's okay. I'm not paying for it, but. Yeah, she's like, no, no, no. Don't know your match payments? Something. Surely. Anyway, boys, anything from volleyball the week? Anything worth talking about? That's the reverse testy. Oh, there's gas going out, not coming in. His balls just dropped. Jesus Christ. I fucking slammed the floor like that. Jesus, it didn't more than drop. Fucking put a hole through it. Holy joys. The old boulder's coming through. Oh, right.
That's hectic. No, I was going to hit up the big fella for some golf on Sunday, but I didn't fucking do it until too late. You know, we're going to have a couple of, play a bit of whack fuck. But then I was at the gym, and it was late, and I was like, yeah. So I hit up Max, and we went out to Rosie. I'd be keen to probably organize for you. I'd be keen this weekend. Yeah, we've got to go back out to Rosie and play our second nine.
We paid for 18, and they do a little – they do a chook run, front and back, like two separate ones. There's one comp, but it's like separate. So we paid for the back and then we went out there, played the front and then got to the back and it was just a log jam and we're like, ah, we got a place to be, people see. So we went, can we come back next week and play the other? She's like looking at us with this weird look and I was like, we give you the scorecard so it's
like proof that we've paid. She's like, yeah, I'll put it in the book. I should be here next week. I said, bloody hell, for 13 bucks. So what happens if she's not there? Ah, well, I'll just go, Hey, if you flick through to that page. And I thought, I'll look at my score because I was like, I haven't played since we played last time in October. And I fucking smashed it. Got a decent score of 24, which is like you're winning most weeks with that. And I'm like, that looks like.
Yeah, I want to get a practice game in before we go to Bundy. Yeah, I was like, I think that looks like I've cheated because I haven't played there in so long and all of a sudden I come in with a score like that. And then I have a look. I didn't even place top three. Someone got 29 points I said Now he's a cheater.
He's the cheater But out there The longer If you don't win Your handicap goes up one, Like this is one You'd be able to play out there You don't need a handicap It might just be a little bit more expensive Because you don't have a membership anywhere You just go out there And you just start on nine Or whatever Or seven And then every time you don't win It goes up and up and up and up And then eventually if you win It goes all the way back down Just to give new people a chance so
it's not just the same people winning all the time. So yeah, he just slowly goes up. So that bloke must have had a massive handicap. And he's just played a half-decent round. I'm like, that's like max sometime. I think at one point his, for nine holes, was up near like 20. I was like, brother, you need to win one eventually. Like, Jesus Christ. I don't know how he couldn't do it. I think he's finally got a couple of wins up there. Because he's back down. That'd be me. Oh, yeah, that would be.
¶ Golf Shenanigans and Handicaps
Fucking oath. Yeah, you just have to show up and win it on handicap alone. I'm here. Yeah. Mate, you'd have to hit over 100 on the front nine. How many strokes have I got on this one? 10. 10 per hole. Be ridiculous. And then the big fella bloody got caught up at bloody cricket and show up late for volleyball. Yeah, I went out to see the boys. Yeah. On the Sunday. Oh, good work, mate. Went out and then he lost track of time and then he was like, oh, shit, I've got to be at Wynnum.
And I had none of my stuff, so I just ducked home. Jeez, please. Anyway. Why did you go see the boys, Kyle? Huh? Just wanted to. Just to support. Mmm. Okay, that's good. That's good for you. All right. No, go on share. I don't know. Go on share. What would it be? Go on share. Lots of reasons to go see the boys. Go on share. Oh, no. I'm not going to get more of that for free.
