Peter HollandGUEST
Ooh, yeah.
Brian WaddleHOST
And he wanted, wanted Bradman to attend a photo shoot at Adelaide Oval alongside, I think it might've been Allan Border or something along those, to celebrate some major achievement.
Brian WaddleHOST
And, uh, Coward, he, he, he didn't turn up and he, he wasn't able to make it, and on the first day of the test, Mike Coward was walking down the stairs with Sir Donald Bradman at the ground, and he basically says, "Oh," he said, "I'm d- disappointed you weren't able to make it, uh, yesterday, Sir Donald.
Brian WaddleHOST
I'm sorry.
Brian WaddleHOST
It would've been, uh, nice to have had you part of the photo with Allan Border." And Bradman's response was, "You'll get over it."
Peter HollandGUEST
[laughs] He was a curmudgeonly character.
Brian WaddleHOST
[laughs]
Damien ThomlinsonGUEST
Yeah, Mr. Taylor, sir.
Damien FlemingHOST
Yeah, Damo, I played my first few one days w- with Allan Border, and everyone's calling him AB-
Damien ThomlinsonGUEST
Oh
Damien FlemingHOST
... or Pugsley, the older dudes.
Damien ThomlinsonGUEST
Mr.
Damien ThomlinsonGUEST
Border, so, the fu- I've got a funnier story about him.
Damien ThomlinsonGUEST
My, a, a friend of my dad's worked on a commercial with him when he was young, and I got a ball that's still just sitting over there that's signed by Allan Border to Damian.
Damien FlemingHOST
Oh, wow.
Charlie ClausenHOST
Think about his hobbies.
Wil AndersonHOST
Yeah, Alan Border?
Charlie ClausenHOST
No.
Wil AndersonHOST
Hmm.
BaldyHOST
This batting lineup hasn't been un- this unstable, uh, for...
BaldyHOST
But basically since 1984 when the Chappells all left, Kim Hughes retired, Allan Border had to take over.
BaldyHOST
I think that was '84.
BaldyHOST
Um, it hasn't been this unstable for a long, long period of time, because no matter what we do, there's holes everywhere.
Tim GilbertGUEST
It was amazing.
Tim GilbertGUEST
Alan Border was his last series in Australia.
Tim GilbertGUEST
And I think working with Dougie and all those guys, a few of them are gone now, obviously.
Tim GilbertGUEST
Dennis Committee quite recently, God rest his soul.
Ian PaytenHOST
You know how they all, um-
Michael AtkinsonHOST
But I mean, hopefully it's also not the Alan Border medal where they just have a barbecue-
Ian PaytenHOST
Yeah
Michael AtkinsonHOST
... at Alan Border Oval and-
Ian PaytenHOST
Well, it's a Zoom call these days.
Ian PaytenHOST
Yeah
Michael AtkinsonHOST
... that was really bizarre.
Michael AtkinsonHOST
Anyway, not that we-
James BrayshawHOST
[laughs] Yes, yeah.
James BrayshawHOST
The reigning Allan Border Medalist, don't worry about that.
James BrayshawHOST
I know.
James BrayshawHOST
Our most coveted award.
Travis HeadGUEST
Like he, he, he didn't play much franchise cricket over a long period of time.
Travis HeadGUEST
He wanted to prioritize test cricket, and I think he's reaping the benefits of that now.
James BrayshawHOST
Hey, well done on the Allan Border Medal.
James BrayshawHOST
Mm.
Graeme HughesHOST
Nice, yeah.
speaker_9AUDIENCE
Now, uh, Robbo, yeah, you caught my ears with your last comment there talking about leadership and, um, your experience with Steve Waugh and, uh, Allan Border.
speaker_9AUDIENCE
What would you take away-
Gav RobertsonHOST
Mark Taylor
Paul ClarkeGUEST
Well, the, the other news we've talked about, uh, Mark Waugh commentating on Fox.
Paul ClarkeGUEST
Uh, Allen Border's been commentating, which has been great to hear his, his voice on the commentary considering he's got Parkinson's disease.
Mike WhitneyHOST
Well, he's got Parkinson's.
Mike WhitneyHOST
It's fantastic that he's made the trip from Brisbane up to Mackay, and it was really great to hear him on, on the commentary.
Paul ClarkeGUEST
But they held on for a draw.
Mike WhitneyHOST
I got to bat twice with him in my first two tests.
Mike WhitneyHOST
In my first test, when I went out in the second innings, I got a duck, but I batted for about 50 minutes, and he'd already scored 100, and it was just unbelievable, me being out there with Allen Border, even though it was early in his career and he played for four or five seasons.
Mike WhitneyHOST
But in the last test at The Oval, he was on about 92 when I went in to bat and I said to him, "I'll get you through to a fucking hundred, AB" and I did.
Marty SheargoldHOST
Put...
Marty SheargoldHOST
Put Alan Border into that position.
Marty SheargoldHOST
Are we having a captain that walks past and says, I don't want to know what you're doing? I don't know what that's about.
Marty SheargoldHOST
I don't want to know what that's about.
