1
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,760
BANDIT: Let me tell you about
the time we tried to get Rusty out.

2
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,120
It was some kid's birthday,
I don't remember who.

3
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:33,360
And we were playing cricket.

4
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,400
Oh, ya!

5
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,200
(LAUGHS)

6
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,920
Oh, out you go, Bingo.

7
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,040
Well done.
Whose bat?

8
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,160
Mine.

9
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,240
OK, everyone, move in close.

10
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,520
Move in close.

11
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,320
Hilarious.

12
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:49,760
Give us a bowl, Bluey.

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:52,800
(GRUNTS)

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,760
ALL: Whoa!

15
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,720
Six and out.
Oh, man!

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,400
Who hasn't had a bat yet?

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,040
Rusty hasn't.

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,360
Hey, Rusty.

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,000
Your bat, mate.

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,200
Dad, can we play tiggy instead?

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,080
What? Cricket's more fun than tiggy.

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,600
But cricket is just about hitting
a ball around the grass.

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,440
Cricket's about more than that, kid.

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,600
Tell you what, we'll get Rusty out
and then play tiggy.

25
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,360
You'll never get Rusty out.

26
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,320
I think I can handle it.

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,320
Aah!

28
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,760
ALL: Yeah, Rusty!

29
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,920
Four bits.

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,480
See?

31
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,440
This episode of Bluey
is called Cricket.

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,360
You right with
a bit of swing, Rusty?

33
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,440
All good, Mr Heeler.

34
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,520
Now, what we didn't know
was that Rusty loved cricket.

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,200
He played all day
with his brother and sister.

36
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,080
Can you hit me a catch?

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,400
Not yet, Dusty. I'm almost at 50.

38
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,640
Ya.

39
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,560
And when they weren't around,
he played by himself.

40
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,640
Far out.

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,280
That's it, Snickers.

42
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,880
Man, this kid's good.

43
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,600
Look, he likes to square cut.

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,040
Stripe, you and me will move
to gully and point.

45
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,160
You send one to his off stump.

46
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,760
Lure him into the catch.

47
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,720
It was a good plan, but we didn't
know about Rusty's kitchen.

48
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,240
(SHOUTS)

49
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,920
Uh-oh!
Run!

50
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,040
Hey, come back here!

51
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,240
That was good motivation
to work on his square cut.

52
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,560
I had no chance.

53
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,680
Yeah, Rusty!

54
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,280
It was time to mix up the attack.

55
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,720
Give me that.
I've had enough of your pies.

56
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,880
Bit of spin OK, Rusty?

57
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:52,000
All good, Mr Heeler.

58
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,480
Stripe, put it right on
that crack there, see?

59
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,840
Oh, yeah, good call.

60
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,520
Stripe couldn't spin
to save himself,

61
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,600
but if he could land it
on that crack,

62
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:02,520
Rusty would have no chance.

63
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,480
But what we didn't know
was that when Rusty's dad was away,

64
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,840
he'd get a lift home
with his mate Jack.

65
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,280
And this was his front yard.

66
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,080
Got him!

67
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,160
Oh, not fair.

68
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,760
Rusty played at Jack's
a lot that year.

69
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,040
So he got pretty good
at playing on a rough wicket.

70
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,680
BOTH: Yeah!

71
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,480
He could handle Stripe's fruit
any day.

72
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,880
What?!

73
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:34,280
(LAUGHS)
How did he hit that?

74
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,880
Now, every batsman has a weak spot.

75
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,600
That's it. Time for a pace attack.

76
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,320
And Rusty's was pace.

77
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,200
OK if I have a go, Rusty?

78
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,800
Sometimes Rusty would play
with his older brother's mates,

79
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,640
one of them being this kid Tiny,

80
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,320
who could bowl really fast.

81
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,400
Got him!

82
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,240
He was never brave enough to bat.

83
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,560
Whose bat?

84
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,040
Until one day...

85
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,760
Um, mine?

86
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,960
..he was.

87
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,240
Rusty, you can bat if you want,

88
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,160
but no one's gotta go easy
on you, understand?

89
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,680
They didn't play
with a tennis ball, either.

90
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,080
They used a proper cricket ball.

91
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,720
And they are hard.

92
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,280
ALL: Ooh.

93
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,560
Maybe wait till you're a bit older.

94
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,520
Rusty didn't want to give up,

95
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,440
but he was so scared of Tiny.

96
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,520
(GASPS)

97
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,960
One day, a letter came.

98
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,240
Mum! There's a letter from Dad!

99
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,960
"And, Digger, you thought
Christmas up north was hot?

100
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,240
"You should try over here.
It is boiling.

101
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:47,600
"I'll see you all soon.

102
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,480
"Miss you heaps, Dad."

103
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,440
Rusty? Dad's letter has
a PS for you.

104
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,680
Can you read it?

105
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,080
"This Tiny sounds like
he's got some pace on him."

106
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,120
He does.

107
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,960
"I wish I could be there
to bowl a few at you..."

108
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,800
RUSTY'S DAD: ..but I can't
right now, mate.

109
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:06,720
But look, as you grow up,

110
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,080
you'll face harder things
than a cricket ball,

111
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,480
and you'll have two choices.

112
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,760
Back away and get out...
Got him!

113
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,360
Whose bat is it?

114
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,480
..or...

115
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,520
..step in front...

116
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,680
..and play a pull shot.

117
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:25,400
Just keep your eye on the ball,

118
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,600
and take care of
your little sister for me.

119
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,200
Love, Dad.

120
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,840
Lucky's dad had no chance.

121
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,400
(GRUNTS)

122
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,720
(ALL CHEER)

123
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,320
Downward dog!

124
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,520
Lunchtime!

125
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,040
ALL: Yay, lunch!

126
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,480
Nah, hang on! Rusty! One more?

127
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,040
OK.

128
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,840
Rusty would have played 50 more.

129
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,960
What a shot!
That's it, Rusty, run!

130
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,520
He just loved cricket.

131
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,400
BLUEY: I told you
you wouldn't get Rusty out.

132
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,840
Come on, Pat.
This one's for dignity.

133
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,440
Lucky's dad put everything
he had into that ball.

134
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,480
(GRUNTS)

135
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,680
And Rusty could have smashed it
into next week if he wanted to.

136
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,440
But instead...

137
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,280
I caught it!

138
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,960
..he hit his little sister a catch.

139
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,640
Oh, you got me.

140
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,960
And that's lunch.

141
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,520
Thanks, Mr Heeler.
Thanks, Lucky's dad.

142
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,200
ALL: No worries, Rusty.

143
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,720
I got you out!

144
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,240
I know. I can't believe it.
What a catch.

145
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:31,720
(LAUGHS)

146
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,520
THAT'S what cricket's about, kid.
