00:00First pit!

00:05Yeah, I took two wickets that day.

00:09It was pretty low key, we just sort of went to the pub and that's about it, didn't we?

00:14I can't remember.

00:16We weren't fit enough to go anywhere else.

00:18Oh yeah, I think we might have been favourites, yeah.

00:23We had a pretty good even lot of players, like everyone could either bat or bowl pretty alright.

00:29It was pretty even overall.

00:32We batted low, we probably batted down to 10 or 11, didn't we?

00:37We batted right down and we had probably half a dozen bowlers that could handle themselves.

00:41It was a pretty good even side.

00:43I reckon I was battered at number 11.

00:46Yeah, I was 10.

00:47I think the best part of that was the clean spirit.

00:51We got on famously on and off the ground.

00:54We had a lot of pace in each other.

00:57Yep.

00:58We were never really beaten, were we?

01:00Sorry?

01:01Never really beaten.

01:03We had that sort of attitude.

01:05Yep.

01:08We always come back from it.

01:11It looked like we were going to do it.

01:13We always fought back.

01:15We played with the sisters for a while.

01:17We played in the grand final.

01:20And I heard we knew early in the inning plot.

01:24So, playing the candy with me runner.

01:26Yep.

01:27He ran me out when I was 96.

01:31I played with Calora.

01:33I won a premiership there.

01:35I won a premiership with Samuel.

01:38I won a premiership with the sisters.

01:40I think I won three premierships here.

01:43Well, there was no doubt that Robbie's obvious strength really opened up.

01:48I mean, he was pretty fast.

01:50But he was also a great hitter.

01:54I would come out of the school runs really quick.

01:56Yep.

01:57And it was that kind of play.

01:59I don't know.

02:00It was just an all-rounder.

02:01Yeah, it was an all-round bowler.

02:03Good keeper.

02:05But he was a bit unlucky not to keep that year because Robbie was a pretty good keeper, wasn't he?

02:09Yeah, he was.

02:10So, otherwise, they would have done it.

02:11So, yeah.

02:12And Bally, well, he's a great top order bowler.

02:20Yeah.

02:21Yeah.
