🍿 STARSTRUCK By Sachin Tendulkar & Why Are Australia So Good At Cricket? | Bumble & Kimber | EP2

[@feeltheheat824]

Bumble's line after India's historic victory at Chennai 2008, when Tendulkar scored winning runs with a boundary and reached his hundred, are iconic - 'This is for Mumbai. The rest of the world, this is for Mumbai'

i'm asian who grew up in australia. we played cricket at lunch time at school. it'll alternate between football, rugby league, cricket or whatever, every few weeks. but all the boys played every sport competently. most of the kids played for a team on weekends. cricket in summer football or league in winter. almost every boy plays something every single day, from grade 1 or grade 2. it's cultural and ingrained.

That's the reason Aussies are one of best sporting country of the world....every other country envy about it 😅

[@bartonez123]

12:20 In England there's a reverence for the sport, whilst in Australia there is a reverence for competition. This line from Kimber nails it on the head. Australians take on everything at full throttle. I remember back at school once we played a game of cricket (with a tennis ball), and I ended up bowling to my girlfriend at the time - I bounced her repeatedly. And then I pulled out the Brett Lee chainsaw celebration when I bowled her as she backed away from my last delivery. Or that time when I was in my early 20's, I was doing a net session (with a proper ball) and somehow ended up bowling to an under 15's kid - I bounced him too in much the same manner (but he took the hit, and then started hooking me everywhere). Whether it be at training, or in the most inconsequential of games, there is always this prevailing desire to win.

[@AndyFNQ84]

Kimber gets it. You never take it easy and you always need to be looking for an extra edge. If the opponent isn't very good, then beat them none for 600 declared vs all out twice for 14 and 17. "Taking it easy" or "giving someone a chance" is to disrespect both yourself and them. How do they know how good they really are unless you do your absolute best against them? I heard someone else say that this was behind the trouble when Bairstow got stumped at Lords - the English were like "but you probably shouldn't do that, bit of a cheap shot" and the Aussies were like "if you're out of your crease and the ball is not dead, you're fair game". That competitive edge is drilled in fairly hard in sport - well, every sport that I've played anyway

[@abc-pi3lc]

Cricket will be richer than European football leagues in upcoming 2 decade which inevitably gain immense attention by the rest of the world therefore I believe in next 2 decade most of the globe will play our beloved sports "Cricket". You old chaps are doing really great, please continue the podcast as India's economy grows this channel will grow along with that. Thanks for the contribution to game of cricket love from India.

[@aviralsrivastava7324]

No way though ipl will become the biggest sports league but cricket surpassing football is a long stretch

[@Dazumu]

Lmao, what are you on about?💀

[@ashiqurrahman4389]

Nothing will surpass Football. Cricket is not popular outside India.

[@KKpandita88]

Nothing is permanent. Field hockey was the most played and followed sport in the world until Pele came onto the scene. And Cricket was the most followed and played sport in the world up to 1920 until Dhyan Chand came into the scene. People think Cricket is an expensive sport, but it can be cheaper than Football depending on what you play with. The problem with cricket is that it has too many varieties.

[@mattskeff3022]

in Australia we work hard, play hard, help our mates and win at Cricket. Thats it!

[@apoorvagarwal4787]

Difference is India produces individual players but Australia produces a complete team

[@arnabiitmphy]

It's not just cricket. The Aussies are good at all sports. They have a great sporting culture ingrained in them. I guess what sets the Aussies apart from other teams is their amazing mental strength and self belief, which comes from their amazing physical fitness, strong work ethic, along with obvious talent. They are actually "athletes" in the true sense of the word, as opposed to some players from south Asian teams who are lazy and unfit. Also they have a great first class cricket structure and system in place.

[@Shivian124]

Jarrod really nailed the final bosses. Newcastle grade was just littered with these guys. They are merciless. They will have a grade debutant 14 year old at non-strikers end playing an 80 over innings and they will farm the strike. They don't care. They are playing a test match at 45 years old in 3rd or 4th grade.

[@Ram92026z]

Its not about India here. It is about time the world just love the Australian way! The Ozzie way of playing cricket is REAL! Look at what Cummins is doing quietly. He has WON EVERY DAMN THING THAT CAME HIS WAY. I really hope SRH wins IPL this season and I am a frikkin' Bangalorean saying this.

Cricket in England is ridiculously competitive - I remember being played at 4 for the local first team at 14 years of age and their opening bowler telling me ‘You’ll never be good enough to score runs against me.’ I proceeded to smash him through mid on for 4, and he bowled 4 bouncers at me to finish the over…

[@ianmontgomery7534]

the weather wasn't kind this year for my local team (in Dandenong) -the first five games were cancelled to rain outs.

[@thatsbollox]

The quality of the wickets they produce in Australia is a huge factor. You could play 4th grade club match ad it will be a better wicekt than most test match grounds elsewhere in the world. Good batsmen make runs in Australia, and bowlers love it also. If you get picked to tour Australia you know it will be the ultimate test of your talent. They are wickets fair to everyone and produce quality cricket.

Yeah but all of pakistan is a colonized people. Did you play cricket with your mother growing up or was it deemed improper for a woman to play competitively with a man? Kimber is arguing Australia decolonized itself while other countries follow the colonial family norms of England including pakistan

[@hamzahussain4429]

That's not his point. His point was it is played only elite. How's playing with your mother counted in that category. That's a dumb feminist wannabe argument you are presenting.

[@nihavd]

@@sherafgantareen7487 don't think he's saying anything about women playing the sport. Nor is he saying anything about colonization and family norms here. Just about the competitive sport culture. Which is there across the subcontinent as well, but until recently, we didn't have the resources to match the Aussies or the English. And even now, only India has an edge in that regard because of just how rich the BCCI is. And while it may be true that the '92 pakistan cricket team wasn't all elite folks, Indian cricket used to be dominated by elite Bombay ppl for the longest time (with important exceptions like Kapil Dev ofc). And it's really only since the Dhoni generation that India has really started to tap into its demographic advantage (again partly because of the lack of infrastructure in smaller towns until now).

[@sherafgantareen7487]

@@nihavd he is. Listen to him. He says sports is a ritual of community building so that in every family the moms and aunties play with their sons and fathers competitively on the front porch and park. That’s decolonizing the sport which as he argues fails to grow because it’s elitist. The imran khan reference makes sense too because no matter how many players on that Pakistan team were not imran khan, khan afterall was the idealized vision of a leader because he was aitcheson college and oxford.

[@neilgovender7450]

This Aussie is great at sport is a fallacy.their football is awful. their rugby union team is not that strong anymore and you only competitive in swimming at the Olympics. South Africa a third world country is rugby world champions, we can compete with you at cricket with no funding and so little fan support we can't get sponsorship and we way better at athletics. Akani Simbine our current 100m champion is faster than any Australian ever. The only reason you good at cricket is because it has an high barrier to entry. Its for rich people even in South Africa. Did you ever wonder why South Africa sporadically produces a black cricketer, Hashim Amla and KG Rabada's fathers were doctors and they went to elite schools. Thats it, no other reason
