Tell me, how do you win a game without completing a single pass over 60 minutes in a game that is meant to be an offensive passing league?
16:36
I don't know if you saw it.
16:38
I watched the entire game and I've seen conditions and, you know, we've seen snow games and it can be completely random, wet games.
16:48
And this was torrential from start to finish and probably around about three hours prior to the start of the game between the Atlanta Falcons at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
17:00
And quite simply put, the Buccaneers, whilst Jalen Daniels came in in Baker Mayfield's stead after that dislocated thumb injury, they've got a pretty decent offensive line.
17:13
The Bucs, I'm not saying it's the best in the league, but it's pretty steady.
17:17
And they just said to Bucky Irving, let's run it.

15 MINS LATER

32:44
It's
35:04
Was that the greatest object of childhood desire, Charles?
35:09
It really was.
35:11
That was...
35:11
I, I had two Duncan Fe- 'cause Duncan Fearnley, I didn't know about bat m- bat manufacturers.
35:16
I didn't.
35:17
At, at sort of eight, nine, 10 years of age, I didn't know about bat manufacturers at all.
35:22
I didn't know, but I saw Ian Botham using one.

7 MINS LATER

42:43
I even, I even hit him for a couple of runs, and it obviously annoyed him because [laughs] he came, came in on the next ball off the same run
33:15
At 3-1, are the Las Vegas Raiders for real?
33:18
Do you know what? I think they are.
33:20
I don't see them as a, you know, a 14-3 side.
33:23
I see them...
33:25
Let's remember where they've been.
33:26
You know, this is a franchise that has been sort of, not in turmoil as such, but they've had no direction.
33:31
Now they have a direction.

6 MINS LATER

39:41
Have they resolved their issues offensively and are they back on track, or are we now seeing the teething problems of a young quarterback just perhaps plateauing out, uh, and it's a natural progression in the NFL?
37:05
It, it really is a complete reset.
37:07
And, and- How they're trying to build.
37:10
What I do like, I like the opportunity that Malik Willis has.
37:13
And look, they...
37:14
And I think, I, I think all Dolphins fans are under the i- impression or, or, or, or sort of made their peace with the fact they're gonna be underdogs in every single game.
37:24
They are gonna end up with a high draft pick.
37:26
I'll be intrigued to see how Malik Willis deals with this.

17 MINS LATER

54:55
Oh, without question
11:43
Um, but yeah, it'd be interesting to hear your thoughts on it as well and what, what you think.
11:48
I did, I, I, I, I have got the feeling that it wasn't quite the same.
11:51
It didn't ...
11:52
No, I don't think it's about having the same energy.
11:55
I think it did at the start, and I think everyone was very excited about, about, you know, the, the makeups of the squad and all, all of that sort of stuff.
12:03
I think it got off to a slow start because perhaps there was an element of, you know, uh, uh, being in a bit of a rush.
12:11
And I know it's the same with the men's, but, uh, in a weird way, the men's are kind of used to that a little bit more, going from franchise to franchise, sort of just dropping into one team and then going away and doing another.

14 MINS LATER

26:34
The argument-
6:09
There was a, a small period there, wasn't there, where Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amy Jones were together where England rallied a little.
6:14
Yeah, they came in, what, 47 for four I think it was they came together, and there needed to be a little bit of onus put back on the, uh, opposition bowlers.
6:23
And I thought Amy Jones did that really, really well.
6:25
Nat Sciver-Brunt was playing a more of the, a- an anchor role and, and you needed to counterattack.
6:31
You needed to actually try and put the foot down a little bit against a bowl, rather than t- allow the Indian bowlers to settle in.
6:37
And I thought Jones did this really well, really well.
6:40
The one black mark against Amy Jones, and, and she was by far and away the best of England's batters, situational play has been not necessarily a strong suit of Amy Jones.
9:17
Maybe they didn't want her to bowl her to Verma, do you think?
