Logan van BeekGUEST
It's amazing when you get a couple of owners and a designer as your captain where you can take it.
Ben HurleyHOST
Yeah, well, let's talk about your captain because, yeah, you mentioned Faf du Plessis, 42 years of age, sort of stopped playing international cricket a little while ago.
Ben HurleyHOST
And when you see him popping up in these leagues, you're like, is that like a legacy selection? But it's not, is it? Because as you say, he scores bucket loads of runs.
Ben HurleyHOST
What does he do to keep himself in shape? Or is it just pure testosterone? Because he seems to have a lot of that.
Varun AlvakondaHOST
Maybe too good? Fair.
Jarrod KimberHOST
Faf du Plessis?
Behram QaziHOST
Yeah.
Varun AlvakondaHOST
Faf.
Behram QaziHOST
...
Behram QaziHOST
he should have made this team, honestly.
Jarrod KimberHOST
I always feel this is the Faf du Plessis team.
Behram QaziHOST
It is.
Kate CrossHOST
Yeah, that's true.
Kate CrossHOST
And you've got so many big names in that, like, huge, huge, huge cricket names now in that tournament that, that they probably, even if they do as well as the up-and-coming stars, they, like Ravi Ashwin and Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis are gonna get more headlines than a young, younger player who no one really knows about.
Alex HartleyHOST
Yeah, exactly.
Alex HartleyHOST
So it's like every time we've been picking man of the match, or player of the match, sorry, it's, like, been... it's been obvious, and it's not been like a, "Oh, that new bowler's done well," or, "That new batter's done well."
Nathan JohnsGUEST
You know, they might maybe if they're lucky, particularly some of the Irish guys, they might have a few list A games or T20 games ag- basically against each other.
Nathan JohnsGUEST
But at this level of cricket, you know, with Nokia bowling rockets and Faf du Plessis whacking it everywhere, which is pretty much how it's gone on the pitch, um, that's a good thing, I think.
Nathan JohnsGUEST
You know, I don't necessarily always buy into the exposure is, is necessarily a good thing-
Cameron PonsonbyHOST
Mm
11 MINS LATER
Cameron PonsonbyHOST
How about David Wiese?
Nathan JohnsGUEST
Yeah.
Nathan JohnsGUEST
[laughs] Well, David, what's he, he still going? Um, the, kind of, you know, the old, the old guys dominating T20 cricket continues 'cause Wiese is the second top wicket taker and Faf du Plessis is the, the top run scorer.
Cameron PonsonbyHOST
Just keep going.
Warren DutramGUEST
We've got... our players, and I mean our in the Irish, Scottish, Dutch players, populating various squads in which you've got some of the best players in the world.
Warren DutramGUEST
I mean, just watching it the other day, you've got Trent Bolts from New Zealand's greats, Mitch Santner, the New Zealand captain, bowling to Faf du Plessis, still playing in the Indian Premier League, and these guys are absolutely world-class.
Rob HartnettHOST
You've
Warren DutramGUEST
got Glenn Maxwell, who's an Australian T20 great, And they're all playing with and against our players.
AjitHOST
But then when they started, Michael Leavitt was dismissed soon.
AjitHOST
Faf du Plessis looked really uncomfortable.
AjitHOST
I was hoping I would see something special from him and maybe Vikramjit, my favorite here.
AjitHOST
Then when Dermot came and went, Heinrich Lassen came and went, that's it.
Aman PatelHOST
But for the Dockers, they got the runs from the top of the order.
Aman PatelHOST
Faf du Plessis, the captain, scored 79 off of 51, with Heinrich Klassen finding 34 off of 28 of his own to give the Dockers a much more comfortable 7-wicket win with 8 balls remaining.
Aman PatelHOST
The Edinburgh Castle Rockers were up against the Belfast Wolves, and the Castle Rockers were batting first.
Aman PatelHOST
J.J. Smuts would score 98 off of 60 alongside a Brandon McMullen 30 off of 16 to finish with the Mitchell Santander 25 off of 13.

A lot of names that have come out and played.
Jarrod CrokerHOST

AjitHOST
That's what we hear from him when he gives out interviews.
AjitHOST
But well, all I'm hoping, you know, The local cricket people, the people who play cricket from Netherlands, Scotland, Ireland, they get to brush shoulders with these bigwigs, with the Faf du Plessis, all of these people, right? Glenn Maxwell.
MogGUEST
Glenn Maxwell, even,
AjitHOST
yes.
NoahPANELIST
So he had a pretty positive impact.
NoahPANELIST
