The shul's from B.B.C. Radio 5. I'm Sarah Brett taking a look back at 5 life from across 20 I say on the 23rd of June 12th boys on their coach from the wild boars football team in Thailand became trapped in a flooded cave system in the north of the country over the next 2 weeks a dramatic rescue ensued with divers from around the world coming together to help get the boys to safety all 12 boys and their cage for eventually freed from the cave but the rescue mission was not without a tragedy Petty Officer someone going on a former time Navy diver lost consciousness and subsequently died off to delivering at times to the boys whilst they waited rescue Howard Johnson the B.B.C.'s correspondent in Thailand spoke to Nicky Campbell about the incident and the challenges facing the rescuers on 5 life refaced. Good. For the Navy SEALs for a number of years but currently he was working for the biggest port in Thailand and buying call he'd come back to help his former. Diving friends to try to help this operation to get. Tanks through this very network of flooded chambers and tunnels when he was going through the net. We heard reports that he had run out of became unconscious when his body tried to revive him he couldn't help him so he was taken to the hospital around 5 am last night but unfortunately they couldn't revive him either We've heard that the military will give him full on as far as a funeral service for the Thai king has expressed sorrow about what happened. Lots of people saying this really illustrates how dangerous this task is that it. Is struggling to get through this network of chambers and cabins What is it going to be like for an 11 year old or a 16 year old it's a very onerous task how do how they could begin to rescue these boys get them out of the. Well there's a 3 pronged approach and no one quite knows which way it's going to go at the moment the 1st way which a lot of people really giving much credence is to drill a hole from the top and get them out from the top but we're seeing most of the operation focused on driving through this network of tunnels Currently they have a forward come close to the chamber 3. Times and levels falling inside the area where the boys are this and concern that. Dropping this big push today to get. Into the area where the boys all of the approach rather than to get them to dive out that's the 2nd approach which would require teach them . To dive using scuba gear the 3rd approach is to just simply sit and wait out the monsoon season here last for around 3 to 4 months that could be till the end of the stockpiling the caves down there with food supplies water supplies and of course lots more tanks and how far is it from the caves to open. From where they are where the boys. Where the boys car is around 5 kilometers away from the cave entrance but to get requires going through some twists and turns some spaces are just big enough for one person to fit out a squeeze So bearing in mind none of these boys have scuba dive before let alone a flooded chamber with 0 visibility this is a really big undertaking and it will require a lot of time I'm planning and practice all these diving skills before they decide to do anything of that kind the prime minister has said he would pinpoint a day when the boys will be extracted they're going to wait until it's 100 percent safe or somewhere near that region before they decide to get them out. The authorities decided to get the boys out for a network of tunnels and a British Army soldier cave diving expert was one of the international team who helped with the operation he spoke to about the rescue. You are diving completely blind you're following the rope all the way through doing everything I feel I actually turn my lights off a points because they were completely pointless and actually I was just getting glad from the back scatter of all that mud and particulars that was in the water and how tight with the passages that you were trying to get through the passages were snug in places you had to you know maneuver yourself through and that's always made more complicated by lack of visibility so it's quite a slow process moving through these smaller passages Yeah you've got your kits on presumably as well which makes you wider than you would you would ordinarily have been Yes So for us as U.K. Divers we dive a set up called side mount which is where R S L And there's a mounted on the side of our body and we always dive with 2 which means we can get through lower passages much more easier post to the standard back mounted setup which will sort of see if you look at any videos online. But that definitely adds or a level of complication when the passage is quite faint on its with and you'll So at this point as somebody else laid the guide right that you'll following Yes So when I arrive someone else had laid the guy drove already. You know through the passage which was you know quite helpful so I wasn't having to lay a guy wrote going through we went searching. All the idolators allow you to know we'll go and you're still going into territory you've never personally experienced before no matter what anyone described as you still have to figure things out if you're going along and when you got in that the moment when you when you 1st saw the boys how did that fail. So my 1st sighting of one of the boys was actually when the primary care and gotten through our stage in chamber 5 with my daughter partner and it kind of really brought it all home is you know it's quite easy to say you're home and look at your phone or the news or watch the videos on the telly but I actually see the kids for real you know and even you it takes them off the primary care. To do some checks on them and you know start traversing them through the cave it really sinks our home quite a lot and what kind of condition where they in at that point. When I met the kids they were all set up in their full face masks in our wet suits so they were in full flow of coming out the cave point yeah and as you say you you prepared for this you you used to this but you must have felt the rescues that you've been involved in of all the cave diving that you've done that there was so much at stake here for this one yeah I definitely understood there was a lot of stake this was sort of make or break for the kids so we were fully understanding of the consequences of hands but you really have to sort attach yourself emotionally as best as possible you also want to communicate with the kids you know maybe know their name if you can and talk to them. Giving words of comfort was some advice I've been given in cave rescues. You saw really do have to almost emotionally detach yourself from it and just you know be quite always clinical about the activity which is really quite hard to do when you don't always achieve it yeah I bet it is and how do you actually we talked about how you got in there in the kitty have to where and how difficult it is how did you get the boys out in that similar situation given that they've never dived before so the children were cell with in a wet suit with a full face mask which is much more comforting to a non diver you don't have the feeling of water against your face and you can breathe a lot lot easier on a full face mask system they have a point c jacket on and you are able to sort of grab the back of that jacket and help guide them through the passage that way how do you keep them calm Well there was obviously a sedation going on which helps kind of car calmed them a lot which was very very helpful but words of comfort and seat keeping a positive one was voice if you're something positive in your voice and everything seems to be you know relax and in control. Conference was the casualties. Next back in September Gary Richardson spoke in an in-depth interview to a daughter of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali she revealed what life was like growing up in the household of the former heavyweight champion and also played Garry some recordings have fathered mate of a 3 year old Hannah singing with her dad's. Friend. In the morning from school. The teacher teaching. He can't. American his jumper. Yet it. Is 2 more I'm over. The phone. If you don't get your little green ring gold bail. The most is the see it in the latest. This is dedicated. To. You don't let it. Be. A 3 year old. Lady with a Hummer Dolly who made so many recordings as she was growing up I mean when you hear about that that was a very special time for you wasn't it oh yeah I can't tell you my dad I had so much from with him he was just like he's better he was he's be he was better than Disneyland he's just he was so much fun and so much love and he was so theatrical and funny and gentle and loving in just patient you know with with me I just couldn't have had a more beautiful wonderful blessed childhood and I am so grateful that he made these recordings I listen to them you know in the mornings in the evenings randomly mainly I listen to him saying prayer you know he has one recording where he's actually work he's saying prayer so I feel like I get to pray with him that clip is actually one of my favorites of us singing together so that's one of my favorites for sure I listen to it all the time. And you describe yourself in the book as a daddy's girl. Oh yeah I was always with my father who was always with my mother and I was fine it's funny telling people how almost social media or on interviews that she does you know people think she was the daddy's girl because you know she fell down his footsteps and went to the boxing ring but she was actually super close to my mother and I was super close to my father I mean literally always with him and this is the thing about your house you had famous actors visiting people I carry Clint Eastwood's pop stars like Michael Jackson who who was suddenly there in your dad's bedroom and you came home and you got a real surprise use Yeah you know it's funny because there was always celebrities around because you know everyone wanted to come and meet him and he always made people feel good you know he didn't have any as much as he believed in himself. To talk about how great he was it was really pretty remote black pride in that time and sell tickets but really he was very humble he knew he was famous he knew that he was a wonderful human being and great but at the same time he loved making other people shine so whether they were a celebrity or not I mean if the mill man deliver the mail he'd answer the door take the mail and if I was standing there he'd say this is the world's greatest mill man or you know or you know when we're going to eat I was a little girl this chef is the greatest chef you the world's greatest chef so we thought everyone was famous because he always like pumped everybody up I'm not kidding you whoever it was his friends that came in he always try to make you feel good and even in crowds of strangers he would point out the person who looked the most shy or that was the most the least noticeable or the least attractive in what they were wearing or how they were looking in the crowd point them out make them come to the front he love making people feel good and special and so when celebrities came you know of course Michael Jackson was one of the greatest singers at the time so but he still this is the greatest you know this is hard this is the greatest singer of all time. You know so we thought everybody was important because he gave that introduction to everyone with my father it was you know everybody with a celebrity. From B.B.C. Radio 5 Live View. In January former England football captain and well loved member of the family here at 5 Live Jimmy Armfield died aged 82 following a long battle with cancer B.B.C. Football correspondent John Murray pay tribute to Gerry after hearing the news this is extremely sad news for us it will be extremely sad news to hear from everyone who knew Jimmy because he was such a popular man such a friendly man and certainly for all of us at B.B.C. Radio Sport all the commentators and the football producers who have worked with Jimmy over many many years over decades and my predecessor as football Correspondent Mike Ingham and Allan Crane who I think work with Jimmy longer than anyone else in his radio career I think they will be you know particularly sad to hear this news but he was the absolute to tell me of a football man a super Korea as a footballer with Blackpool Football Club you know if if they have had a better servant I would I would be surprised and and also for England as well where he was the England captain played for them at the 1962 World Cup where you know the feeling was that he was as good a right back as there as there was at the time in the world of football and I don't know that Jimmy felt that England really should have won that will cook but 4 years later did win the 1966 World Cup and Jimmy was part of the squad then and probably was deprived of a place in the team because of an injury that he suffered in the run up to that particular World Cup so. A life in football and that terribly sad news this morning. Away from the fields to me had a long career here on B.B.C. Radio ads and demo bonnets by to the man who 1st brought him on board broadcast uncommon sights to own homes Well I got to know Jimmy when he was manager of Legion I had falling on the catastrophic Brian cliff if you can have 2 more contrasting characters. And I enjoyed my time with Jimmy so much as Mark said he was wonderful company used to do The Daily Telegraph crossword cryptic of course on flights abroad and when he left Legion or acted I met him at a match the City game they were playing Bristol City and just bumped into him in a corridor and we were chattering away to how these guys knowledge is dry sense of humor his wisdom now lovely voice that you've just referred to there is a particular nature is absolutely perfect for Radio 2 as it was involves days in which it would use somebody doing a bit of poor casting forces who had to love it love the following Saturday that was it he became one of the great voices of B.B.C. Radio and he just takes us to absolutely because of all that knowledge e have because of the fact he'd been a wonderful As Mark says in 9066 he was still a member of the World Cup squad even though he didn't play in the final didn't have no bitterness he didn't have a bad bone in his body you know at a time like this whenever like so we just last week or never somebody passes away we also have the nicest thing in Jimmy all feels case it would be impossible to think of anything there's not much to say because he was just such a top top gentleman.

It took a little bit longer because what I had really I should have thought about it but when I really had anticipated there are moments of and there are also there's a number of nonverbal interactions that happen in a sermon when you actually delivery bed actually take the time and so it ended up being a little bit longer than I planned on regionally the manuscript is 6 maybe 7 minutes I think we culture to 30 minutes 43 seconds thank you so much for doing that.

Radio 5 law if But 1st for much of the year Bret sits and the deal guy took center stage when it came to political news in November treason may present his hope withdrawal agreement to Paul meant and followed it up by taking part in a special phone in with them Obama's questions from 5 lovelessness Michael from the talks to go straight to the point Mrs May with the people would be better off with the deal she negotiated or staying in European Union. Craftily promised afternoon we all know that you voted to remain in the you and the you now accepted the referendum result clearly here without any push or awful or convoluted ounce just between the 2 of us watering your honest opinion is better for the U. K. Your deal or the deal we had which stayed in the E.U. Well I'm honestly believe that I'm getting what is going what is a good deal for the U.K. And I recognize that there were aspects of being in the European Union the calls people real concern and free movement was one of those when I came out when I gave a speech where the beginning of the referendum campaign when I explained why I was voting for Maine and I actually I wasn't one of those who said you know if we if we leave the European Union it will be really bad for the U.K. She said the sky won't fall in and we will be able to create it'll be a different world for us outside the European Union but it will be a good one and I believe we can really build on what we're doing and one of those examples is actually the trade we can do trade partnerships we can develop around the rest of the world I genuinely believe there's a bright future of this country in our best days lie ahead of us Michael as the prime minister actually answered your question. Honestly though not so it's very sad we're questionnaire to go up to show you are you saying Prime Minister I would still like to know what you think whether we would be better off if it stayed in the you or we will be better off with you or do you now I think we will be I think we will be better off in a situation which will have outside the European Union where we have control of all those things and are able to trade around the rest of the world I was one of those people who said that as I'm just said that it wasn't going to be the case that outside the European Union we were going to have the sort of problems that some other people said we would look I think it but it's different you say we better off better off actually it's a different sort of environment and a different approach that will be taking to things what will make us better off is not so much about whether we're in the you or not it's about what we can do for our economy it's about what we can do for our prosperity that's about things like our industrial strategy is a government it's about ensuring we're the leading edge of key technologies and developments such as you know. Autonomous vehicles battery technology artificial intelligence these are the things that will make us better off so it's less about whether we're in or out of the European Union we want a good trade relationship with the E.U. Good trade relationships about the rest of the world but what we do our future is in our hands and that's what's important can you say it's better than being in the just simple yes or no when I think I just did I actually never forget but it's you know it's the 1st thing is it's going to be different and I believe we can we can build a better future outside the European Union and in the days and weeks that followed 5 Live space people up and down the country measuring the mood of the nation his Nicky Campbell with coal is giving their opinions on what the best outcomes is off the back sit on 5 Live breakfast. Morning mail Hi Nathaniel morning Susan good morning i Nicky has a question a whole what's your best case scenario and he's confessing times went up I mean it really appreciate people have immediate concerns about prosperity but I think when I took the decision to vote early on I was looking at the long term future of the country I factored in that there probably would be sure to meet the facts on the economy but saw a long term global future where we were thoughtful for our own destiny so I mean obviously and doing you kind of project that's where we'll start to see you know some some benefits from from that a long term projects is on what you say to nail I'm sitting all that is just seems to me that at least campaign the why and through the campaign a continuing now in this and put in time Philip Hammond seeing that and the basic deal is better than staying in the E.U. Which clearly against even the government said position. She's a nice deal that she's a queen and that the union to talk about today and had when people are saying that it's 40000000000 we will lose will be worse off in stay in the E.U. And there's no get back set Susana deal thank you very much indeed have a wonderful day in a thon Hill in London how do we heal the nation. I think anyway as your mission is to come from within this what they really want and say back to the. Guests in cars your muscle fix on the way we've got a people have 2 years ago well you know a few years ago we had a referendum where the question about hate was the room a mistake this quote. Was this sort of sunny where you know we get is not a cool trade you know the rest of the. Strings are $2000000.00 pounds the N.H.S. I mean the easiest trades are an extra pair of 8. Days in any longer she you know what we're being offered now could say that this is really what we've all said it's in trace 6 A What's your best case scenario then. My best case scenario would be that the sterile goes down in the House of Commons M.P.'s comes that sense serialised actually maybe this is what people as it's all maybe there's a reason this is basic difficult research a lot send it back to the PECO. 15 shools from B.B.C. Radio 5 Live. On sever Bret's looking back at 5 Live from across 2018 in April 5 Live presenter on a false report and gone it received unprecedented access to NASA a Met some of the world's leading space scientists to talk about the future of space exploration Katie Burke is a NASA flight analyst based at Kennedy Space Center in Florida and she designs the trajectory so that when rockets and launched into space land up in the right place Kelly was working on a modest mission and she told Ana about some of the difficulties they face. In less than a month and a half we're going to be launching the insights lander to Mars and so that's going to the 1st and our planetary launch going from California on May 5th and it's can launch in either May or June but it's going to arrive arrive on November 26th no matter what time what day we launch an earth how does that would just change the speed depending on yeah I mean every day we have we have targets that have the planets in addition to having a change of speed the planets do move every single day a little bit when you launch to Mars we think of it as a football quarterback throw interest Seaver and so we throw to where the receiver is going to be when the ball comes down not where it is when the quarterback throws it and so we change the pitch that the ball is thrown out you can change the direction a little bit and then also how fast it is the director analyst I work for he is the one who tells me the targets and I make sure the rocket drops spacecraft off for those targets because you can't afford to miss Yes it is something you know I personally been working on 5 and a half years there are people at J.P.L. And other agencies have been working on this longer Yeah we want to get there but an interesting thing whenever you launch to Mars or Also Europa which is I mean of Jupiter we think there might be life there and so we don't want to send. Vehicles that are full of Earth bugs that have Earth biology to those planets if we can avoid it so the rocket is not clean very specially cleans there's no bugs on them or very very few and we don't do that with a rocket so instead we make sure that the rocket which is going along with the spacecraft is aimed a little bit away from Mars and then the spacecraft uses its fuel to go back to Mars. Is deliberately sterile so if there is life. Polluting it with anything that we might send Yeah that's what our hope is if we have if we one day find life earth we would like it to be life that was already there not life we brought with us do you think there is life out there so yeah I personally think there is. I don't know what it looks like and. You know it's interesting we'll see if we fight in our own solar system or somewhere else but we have a whole group here at NASA called astrobiologists and their whole job is to look for that I'm just a part of working to make sure I don't pollute their work this lander is going to study how Mars form is a planet so it's going to put sensors down on the ground that are going to measure from Mars quakes and also it's going to dig 600 feet down that's why I want to make sure the soil is easy to dig in and measure how heat flows to the planet. But to not care annoying bug he told about the time her crew mate Luca Parmitano developed a leak in his helmet while. The training really just kicks in I think all of this relates there's not any time to panic panic does you no good. And so you just do the job that you need to do and you know like I floated on the Russian segment the Russians came to help immediately. Brought towels to wipe off the water . And so and then the ground team of course worked a little bit modified procedure and called up exactly what they wanted me to do and I went through my mind a few times to make sure that I didn't have to sit and read the whole you know and the only time I almost did something off what I was told is I actually control the repressurize ation of the airlock with a valve how much air how quickly there's going back into the airlock and if you do it too fast the pressure changes too quickly and you can burst eardrums of the crew members Well there was a period of time when Luca wasn't responding for a while you could tell that he could hear us because I was reading off switch throws and I watched through the little hatch window and I could see him doing it and then after a period time he stopped responding and of course we're all thinking. This is not good and finally he squeezed Chris's hand well it turned out he wasn't hearing us anymore had finally gotten that bad. And so I was almost going to switch that up to you know fast re pressurization and I would have burst everybody here drums Chris is included but we thought we need to get him in but luckily Chris leads us and we didn't have to do so we just kept the nominal pressurization that relief must be extra Yes Yes And a lot of it wasn't till hindsight that we realized just how bad it was the fact that he was completely his whole head covered in water you know we're talking about it the rest of the evening we talked about it and and he said that that was the best worst day of our lives and that's really kind really how it goes because you realize at the time you know you never want something like that to happen but that's why we train like we do especially the flight control team you can't make a mistake you can't screw something up when it's life or death and so to be to have gone through it and succeeded it's a big sigh really care and also that some of the big questions about space and the life of an astronaut put to her by schoolchildren from Move field primary school in Stockport. Just lots of space Earth from space is the most beautiful thing you could ever see it it's hard to describe in words and pictures and never show exactly just how beautiful it is the colors are amazing the color of the water the color of the sand in the deserts the mountains with the snow on top it is most that the most beautiful thing in my favorite is watching sunrise and sunset where you see that darkness the Terminator of where the sun is just going down just creep across the earth until there's nothing left but this thin blue line it's absolutely beautiful well I really want to feel safe and I do feel safe and space in the main reason I feel safe in space is because we've been trained so much on handling anything that can be dangerous and we also have a good group of people in Houston and other flight control centers all around the world that are monitoring the space station looking at everything making sure that there's no problems with it so I feel very safe but the question I'd like to ask. Is because I do We haven't seen anything in the SO our solar system certainly haven't seen anything from the International Space Station and lower earth orbit but the universe is so big so so very big beyond our imagination that the possibility that there is life somewhere that we would call an alien I think it exists to those 1st few minutes feel like. The 1st few minutes in space are very surreal feeling you just launched on a rocket where the forces as you're going up and up and up for the 1st and a half minutes make you feel very heavy and then all of sudden you're floating up into your seat belt. And you're in this unusual environment that you've never been in before but the thing is you have a lot of work to do and so you just don't really at 1st have the time to think about this. Cool environment a chariot but it's quite exhilarating definitely I would like to us an extreme is that when you see still feel a is polluted and I actually felt quite awful to be honest gravity feels very very strong when you come back I felt like I weighed about 500 pounds and you also feel very nauseous at least I did it was very hard even to lift an arm because of how happy you feel. With regrets. Now on to sports back in March 3 key members of the Australian cricket team will found to be tampering with the ball during its has much in South Africa the instant was widely condemned by former international players and led to Captain Steve Smith vice captain David Warner and Cameron Bancroft or being banned from 1st class cricket legendary Australian wicket keeper Adam Gilchrist gave his reaction to Jenny. I was stunned. Shocked at probably 2 words that come to mind and then when you were a little bit more about. You see the vision and you learn more about it. In Paris MN sad. It's still now talking about it. You know where I sort of I don't know now as after learning about it's Sir touring with a lot of emotion about it because it's it's just not what should happen and should not happen and that's a disappointing thing it's not a spur of the moment decision it's not a under pressure decision the way you make a decision and you know I can't go wrong because of the precious moment it's preplanned it's premeditated and it's just not acceptable and it sounds like it's premeditated not just at one level that throughout many apples from Steve Smith up with sin and the management as well and that must mean that it's more disappointing because you know that it it's it contaminates you'll sports I proceed to contamination is probably have the Roy heard of it contaminates. Possibly allows people to speculate on a whole lot of things now and then and you know not just the effect that it's trying to create good which has a great deal of pride. Stalk of the cricketing sporting world but it will ask people to sit back and start speculating and casting sort of aspersions over other activities but that that's you know that's by the boy at the moment what we know is in front of us and they've admitted it that's about the only positive I can tie get of the sites that let's have sat down and looked at running the onset yet we did it and in Shawshank pretend that they don't and will he stories I'm sure of Tommy at around where people say all the old teams do it they all do it in different levels in different ways but case you don't do it you just don't do it it's not bending the spirit of the game it's going outside the laws of the game so as to the levels that you meant. Steve Smith again we're on like everyone still trying to learn more information about it but he has said that management 1000 Vols that the coaches knew nothing about a senior player or leadership group he said on don't ever remember having a designated leadership group in March I mean create that. The out of unwritten leadership group was a coach captain and boss captain but they talking as if there's a group of whether it's saying implies he made this decision but Cameron Bancroft isn't saying applies itis in. The very best it tastes a new mouth has a man he's represented Australia how can you even equate to what happened it's really disappointing and I tell you I'm just thinking and feeling emotional about it. You always sit back when you remember being a current player when I was trying and think the last thing you want at any time on his exploits coming in and sort of putting the boot in to you as a team and jumping on board you know stories and get being in the Create same but look on on Chawner I'm on the sofa that I just can't help but feel we've all been really really badly let down. And Phil Tufnell gave the schools on the situation and addressed why the reaction to the instant has been so intense. New Zealand on this I'll be angry but I wouldn't be as angry because of the way Australia has been for the last 2 or 3 I've been self-righteous You know they've trying to tell everyone about how how the game is played the they talk about this baggy green you know they all know the privilege you know everything that it stands for it shatters not just look at Australian cricket what they have done over the last few years want to punch Joe Root Yeah right into the league and you've got the pay dispute last year with their own cricket board they held their own cricket and brought suit to ransom for the good of the game that's what we all read the more you read into that sounds like it wasn't always about the GO TO THE GUY it not been for the hire and to get a few more quid the biggest abuses on the on the cricket field of personal abuse you know I'm all for. A little bit a slight in but from what I hear from many people it's not just in the play from many players around the world that when the Aussie start talking in particular one human being it starts to get personal and nasty South Africa in the 1st test whether they point a finger at certain aspects of what a certain player had on his hand in terms of why the ball reverse in so soon and he spat back and then suddenly came out with a few personal insults and he didn't like it you know then all of a sudden the Australian captain because one of his players got abuse from a fine in the stands you know this is an Australian coach that 3 years ago asked the Australian public yeah to send Stuart Broad home crying Oh it even Lloyd every single Australian fan to get on Stuart Broad back yet now because he's all the same again the best they can a few of us for by the way I'm completely against and completely disagree with any support I want to go any family member they don't come into this point it gets to that stage by the trigger of what goes on on the field yet they complain they make an official complaint about abuse I just don't like the double standards of what they've tried to achieve of the last few years you know it's been the same stories it's been the same people that I mentioned and because of this incident she feel that it's almost built of tension of Will cricket to go right this is the time I. Never want to hide his fees for mink and caps in an all round Freddie Flintoff had his say on the Flintoff savaging Ping-Pong guy podcast. Where things are really annoyed me and I'd say about militant social media and I'd say not them people an hour from me wants to know I don't know what's going to come out is that I've seen people Rezin the profile on the back of other people's misery and I've seen it the worst thing about social media is people can pour an instant opinion and I've seen people I've put it with being good for the May and I don't want to buy them I've seen him change within the space of so seconds over so much call for the READ THIS IS discourse and this is disgraceful some of them in glass houses well miss you can you stay on sides you know we've done a few things which I am particularly within the rules not as bad as out more. Changes and I saw Steve Smith on the C.V. Crying his eyes out so upset. And think I put it's way out say yep enough is that what you wanted it over so Nobody cheated on the net but I don't I don't what a bunch Ockham's and you've never cheated on a former here and also think about oh no oh no I have yeah yeah yeah but didn't try afterwards if that's not the point for a friend what you say I mean I think the point friends make it is really interesting because that's what gave me a bit of sympathy for Smith the Mormon Bancroft Yes they cheated what they did was clearly wrong but given what Fred intimated in that last podcast that there are gray areas in cricket in particular when it comes to ball tampering and people have been pushing the boundaries doing that with the sun cream which isn't totally ethical or using the sweets and all that and then looking at the level of moralistic thought on them nice stories that pi is an audience people and I'll be honest with you as well is that you know when you say it's a meet and you sit and say me and you talk about what you do everyone knows I'm struggling to think. Not everyone knew I might be completely wrong but you talk about you talk about how you're going to treat the bull the bull in cricket is so important you've got this ball in your hands as a ball if this Bull Moves if this bulldozed off then you. In the game if you know you're out of it so this ball was so important you sit in team meetings and talk for ages you know designate a book who's going to look after it more than anyone else you talk and so consult about how you're going to look after his ball so then say that other people didn't know nor if that's the case I feel sorry for Mitchell stock because Mitchell stock he's got the bullet he's on written in thinking he was in my come this bold move in everyone he's thinking I'm cracking the air I'm cracking at this I'm doing something which is unbelievable Well if you go tell me you didn't know also says if I had a ball in my you would know it is all money and if I had a ball with my on and I will hit you could give me a ball now and I can say one which has been scratched and one not while they're there so I look at it and I look at the condition of a ball if I want to reversible whether it's the end of the wicket or I can sell off it as I'm in the game me with this ball so to set the ball as go a ball designs or anybody else on the field does not nor that this ball has been tampered with is absolute nonsense.
