Stuart Law

he he has been that guy on the outer for three or four years having to score runs having to average 52 to get recalled to chef to test cricket he's been that you know the opener who's faced the fire and averaged 50 in 100 tests i mean it's amazing 30 test century so it comes from that position of strength But the difference here probably from now to Matt's day is probably there's not that many alternatives.

There's not many great young batsmen waiting in the wings as there was once a Mike Hussey or a Stuart Law, a Martin Love, a Brad Hodge, those sort of players.

So there is that difference.

But I always have a lot of respect for what he says, Matthew, because he's a good judge of the game.

We might have three, four, five.

I like the days when we had 16, 18, 19 players waiting, knocking the door down, like Martin Love, like Stuart Law.

The list is long, Graeme.

I can just keep going, but anyway, you four, John.

The match referee.

Because I remember once in particular, I was given out and Stuart Law, bless him, went upstairs and absolutely destroyed the fourth umpire's room.

Got fined a percentage of his match fee for doing that.

But that's what you want to see.

Now, we've got a couple of questions here.

We have Stuart Law asking us about Daniel Tice.

Brian, you should answer that.

I guess that would be a yellow light if we were playing the game.

why I moved there, um, cause I lost my contract with South Australia and, um, but yeah, I mean, that's probably one of the proudest things I did in my career, uh, having lost my contract, having no guarantees of anything in Queensland, just kind of picked up and moved to Brisbane and, um, yeah, managed to just force my way into the team through just taking buckets of wickets.

I had an agreement with Stuart Law that I could come and train with the Queensland Bulls side, kind of that pre-season.

So, you know, that was my one little in that I had.

And yeah, it just kind of everything that could go right went right and found myself upgraded onto a contract and managed to extend out my career by another five years, which was,

Get out of the winter here in South Australia.

Yeah.

And obviously you mentioned Stuart Law as well, you know.

as we'll talk about a bit later on, you know, another member of the One Test Club for Australia.

You know, and in this case, David Saker, who I mentioned the other day, and Brad Williams making their first class debut in the same game against- Right ...

Matty Hayden, Trevor Barsby, Martin Love, Stuart Law, the captain, Allan Border in his final season, Jimmy Maher, Greggie Rowe, um, who we haven't had on the pod necessarily, but he has been on the feed through the greatest season that was.

Michael Kasprowicz, big Carl Rackemann, who I reckon this was his last season as a professional as well, and, and Andrew Symonds was the, the 12th man.

So proper, proper roll off the tongue, legends of a great era in Shield cricket.
