00:00I'm here outside the G on day two and we've got two fans who's here to chat to
00:07us about what they're expecting for day two. Got Billy and Brad here. Billy what
00:12are you expecting today? I reckon Australia gonna bat out the day today.
00:16Weatherwood with a maiden tonne. Hopefully put 300 on the board and roll
00:21through England tomorrow. What did you think of yesterday? England were on top
00:25early and then the Aussies a bit of a pickle? Firstly never judge a pitch
00:30before both teams bat on it but I think Australia should bat well but 20
00:35wickets in a day is too much so hopefully not 20 again today. You sound like a bit
00:40of a cricket fan. You play cricket as well? Yeah I play down on the Central Coast in
00:44New South Wales. You would have liked the ball on that pitch yesterday? Yeah
00:47definitely. And Brad what did you think of yesterday's performance from both teams?
00:51Yeah no it was pretty good. I really enjoyed the day's play. We're from New
00:56South Wales and it's our first time coming to the G for Boxing Day and what
01:00an experience to to have with my boy and it was just an awesome day. The game
01:05itself was exciting and probably the highlight for us was the last over when
01:10Scotty Bolan was batting. That was so much fun. This kid didn't stop screaming and
01:14yelling every ball. Who would have thought Doc Bors could be so exciting but it was
01:18just fantastic. And what about the number? Over 93,000. The highest at the MCG on
01:24Boxing Day where it felt like 50-50 with the English and the Aussie fans. Yeah
01:29I'm proud to be a part of that number. I took the young fella Billy down to the
01:33Barmy Army for a while as well. Let him have a bit of fun down there and yeah
01:37that was good fun. What are you expecting today from both teams? Look let's hope
01:41Scotty Bolan can last for a bit longer. That'll be fun for the crowd. Everyone will
01:44enjoy that. Look always hard to say but my expectation is that there'll probably be a
01:50few more runs today hopefully. We saw Jason Gillespie get 201 as a night watchman
01:55a few I guess a few decades ago. Do you think Scotty could do that and what about
01:58the MCG if he does? I'll put my house on that he won't do that today but it would
02:03be awesome if he did. We're actually joking about that last night so that would be
02:07funny. Yeah brilliant thank you very much. There you have it there we go Brad and Billy
02:11outside the G and I'll have more next hour.
