00:00I was just in the rollercoaster man, like it was just India f***ing good.
00:03We will never beat these guys for three centuries.
00:06These kids came in and said we don't give a f*** about the Gabba.
00:08We are not chastened, we're not hastened, we're not afraid of the Gabba.
00:12And now Australian cricketing dominance is over and we welcome the Asian century and our overlords.
00:21How did we lose?
00:23We lost to the Gabba?
00:27Why is this happening to me?
00:30Don't we always win?
00:32What? What is this feeling? It feels familiar.
00:35La familiar.
00:37My name's Ian Higgins, I'm joined by Sam Perry.
00:40Three minutes ago, Australia lost for the first time with the Gabba since...
00:45Is it 1988?
00:4788.
00:4788, 88.
00:48The bicentenary year.
00:49Famously so.
00:51If that's how you consider the nation-state of Australia.
00:53My goodness me.
00:54Now I felt a whole wave of emotions as the country,
00:56and I will be speaking for the country on this occasion,
00:59did, um, I felt, I was just on the roller coaster, man.
01:03Like it was just India are f***ing good.
01:05That's fine.
01:05Oh, you have to say that.
01:06That's fine.
01:07India, we played India C.
01:10Let's go top line here and then we'll dig some onion layers here.
01:12Okay.
01:14You know, that's fine.
01:15They're allowed to play well, but not on our f***ing patch.
01:18Not on our f***ing tour.
01:20All right.
01:20Yeah.
01:21Australia, f***ing dog shit.
01:22It's the worst team I've ever seen.
01:23This bowling lineup is the worst I've seen in a generation.
01:26Keep going.
01:26It's the worst I've seen in a generation.
01:27What's wrong with the f***ing sticks?
01:29Anyone having a stick?
01:30Can anyone bowl but f***ing Pat Cummins?
01:32Yeah.
01:32Best bowling quartet in the world, or that we've ever produced.
01:36Yep.
01:36Can Cummins do it, please?
01:39Cummins getting hammered by a pant.
01:41Probably just saying any danger of anyone else having a bowl.
01:44Yeah. Can I have a blow?
01:45Anyone want to roll?
01:46Yeah.
01:47Four for 30 off 25.
01:49Anyone else f***ing pulling some weight?
01:51You know, before the series started,
01:54it was postulated on the great cricketer and elsewhere.
01:57Yeah.
01:58You know, geez, it could be a really good series.
02:00It could be a close series, a rare close series in Australia.
02:04And as it-
02:04I want to f***ing win!
02:06As it developed so...
02:09It was, oh, not this close.
02:11Yeah.
02:12Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
02:14What's going on?
02:14And you could just see the Australian body politic
02:17as the series went on, scratching their collective heads.
02:20Yeah.
02:20To understand why, why are we subpar?
02:24Why isn't that 100 being turned into 150?
02:26Yeah, daddy.
02:27Why can't anyone else score runs?
02:28Where's our middle order bats?
02:30Hang on, they're the best bowling quartet,
02:31but India's scoring runs, these young guys coming.
02:33And just as the series developed
02:35and then came to its absolute crescendo,
02:38its climax just now,
02:39I think we were all going,
02:40oh, India are good.
02:43This is the Asian century.
02:45The dying embers of Australian dominance are upon us.
02:49The Anglo sphere of Australian cricketing dominance is over.
02:5319th century, Pax Britannica.
02:5620th century, American dominance.
02:5821st century, India.
03:00We will never beat these guys for three centuries.
03:02That's it, we're done.
03:03Consecutively.
03:04Yeah.
03:04Takua came in and debuted at the Gabba Bowl
03:07better than any shield bowler would have ever bowled.
03:09Hmm.
03:10What about Washington Sundar?
03:11Sundar.
03:12Coming in at seven and then was like,
03:13oh, he's a bowler.
03:14And no, he f****** batted under 19s when he was 16.
03:16He's a stick batted four.
03:17Oh, and he's a better stick than eight of our sticks.
03:19He'd bat five for us.
03:21He would.
03:21Straight away, he'd slot right in.
03:23Yeah.
03:23Hey, mate, can you make your debut?
03:25Washington Sundar, please.
03:27No worries.
03:27I'll make 100 runs, 100 very important runs in the game
03:30and take four wickets.
03:31What about Takua?
03:32You want to play?
03:32Yeah, I'll make 70 odd and take seven wickets.
03:36And be the best bowler apart from Cummins on the Gabba.
03:38My favourite thing about this is, Pez,
03:39we'll never see these guys again
03:40because there's eight guys ahead of them
03:41who when they're fit, they'll play because they're better.
03:43This isn't just a loss of a series.
03:45This is the Asian century.
03:46It is.
03:47It's the commencement of the Asian century.
03:49China's coming in.
03:50No, but the symbolism of the Gabba Hoodoo being destroyed.
03:53The Gabba isn't just a record of wins and losses for Australia.
03:57There's no losses there.
03:58Gabba is turning it on as I did on day one
04:00after spending the morning at the zoo with my family
04:03and feeling safe with the hue of the light.
04:05Oh, it's November.
04:07Oh, there's that hue.
04:08I feel safe.
04:09There's the teal and arbitrary splashes of yellow, of canary.
04:14Oh, it's a full house.
04:15Is it a full house?
04:15Oh, no, it's just coloured streets.
04:16But it's Queensland.
04:17There's the Forex sponsorship.
04:19I know what that means.
04:20That means happiness in the crowd,
04:21but a bit of hostility underneath.
04:23And every time Australia got the advantage,
04:27these 19 year old IPL kids came in and said,
04:29we don't give a f**k.
04:30We don't.
04:31These kids came in and said,
04:32we don't give a f**k about the Gabba.
04:33We are not chastened.
04:35We're not hastened.
04:36We're not afraid of the Gabba.
04:38And now Australian cricketing dominance is over
04:40and we welcome the Asian century and our overlords.
04:43We will compete now for the best of the rest.
