00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,467
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Fine

2
00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:12,107

00:00:16,667 --> 00:00:21,467
Speaker 2: athlete Jack Lovelock, iconic fifteen hundred meter Olympic gold medalist

5
00:00:21,827 --> 00:00:24,427
Speaker 2: in nineteen thirty six, was born on this day in

6
00:00:24,547 --> 00:00:29,587
Speaker 2: nineteen ten. Jack Lovelocke died tragically in nineteen forty nine,

7
00:00:29,627 --> 00:00:32,027
Speaker 2: far too early, when he was struck by a train.

8
00:00:32,267 --> 00:00:35,267
Speaker 2: I'm Jason Pine here talking sport with you until three

9
00:00:35,267 --> 00:00:38,547
Speaker 2: o'clock this afternoon, during which time we'll keep a very

10
00:00:38,547 --> 00:00:41,187
Speaker 2: close eye on what's happening at the Basin Reserve. In

11
00:00:41,227 --> 00:00:47,707
Speaker 2: the first International twenty five up against Ri Lanka, Mitchell

12
00:00:47,747 --> 00:00:50,387
Speaker 2: Santna won the toss and sent Ri Lanka and that

13
00:00:50,707 --> 00:00:53,547
Speaker 2: was a very good decision. They were three down early

14
00:00:53,627 --> 00:00:54,307
Speaker 2: and then this.

15
00:00:57,907 --> 00:00:58,227
Speaker 3: Was there.

16
00:00:58,307 --> 00:01:01,747
Speaker 4: I felt like I heard something in the umper deep

17
00:01:01,867 --> 00:01:06,067
Speaker 4: exhale before he says no, they don't look super confident

18
00:01:06,107 --> 00:01:08,947
Speaker 4: about at that Mitch Senter's trying to get a bit

19
00:01:08,947 --> 00:01:12,507
Speaker 4: of advice. He's talking to Mitch Hay, He's talking to Smith,

20
00:01:13,107 --> 00:01:14,907
Speaker 4: do you want it?

21
00:01:16,667 --> 00:01:19,347
Speaker 2: There was definitely a little sound I heard something.

22
00:01:20,067 --> 00:01:21,467
Speaker 4: I don't know what it was that I heard?

23
00:01:21,747 --> 00:01:23,387
Speaker 2: Slon is smiling. He shakes his head.

24
00:01:23,387 --> 00:01:25,587
Speaker 4: He says, no, nothing there.

25
00:01:25,787 --> 00:01:28,187
Speaker 5: It was played to director. We have a play review

26
00:01:28,267 --> 00:01:28,707
Speaker 5: for court.

27
00:01:29,067 --> 00:01:31,947
Speaker 2: It was high above his head, not out all his

28
00:01:31,947 --> 00:01:32,467
Speaker 2: feet checked.

29
00:01:32,467 --> 00:01:34,947
Speaker 5: It's a fair delivery and could have front tom.

30
00:01:34,787 --> 00:01:37,987
Speaker 4: Spin vision please and he slashed away. Alon got to

31
00:01:38,027 --> 00:01:40,067
Speaker 4: be great to get him out if we could got

32
00:01:40,067 --> 00:01:43,867
Speaker 4: a good bit of bounce here off the semen as this.

33
00:01:45,907 --> 00:01:48,787
Speaker 5: Oh, ball is very close to the bat there.

34
00:01:49,107 --> 00:01:52,667
Speaker 2: If it's anything, it's bad because there's no pads involved.

35
00:01:52,667 --> 00:01:53,027
Speaker 2: There's no.

36
00:01:56,707 --> 00:01:57,507
Speaker 5: Just freeze up there.

37
00:01:57,507 --> 00:01:58,827
Speaker 2: Thank you, Sean.

38
00:01:58,907 --> 00:02:00,907
Speaker 4: I've got a clear spike with the ball next to

39
00:02:00,947 --> 00:02:02,387
Speaker 4: the bat and ask.

40
00:02:02,227 --> 00:02:04,987
Speaker 5: You to overturn your decision to out stand by.

41
00:02:05,747 --> 00:02:07,227
Speaker 3: You're on street signal now.

42
00:02:07,467 --> 00:02:08,467
Speaker 2: Ah, there we go.

43
00:02:08,867 --> 00:02:11,307
Speaker 4: Ah, that's the end of aslega. This is good for

44
00:02:11,387 --> 00:02:14,107
Speaker 4: New Zealand. It came right off the point of the

45
00:02:14,147 --> 00:02:16,747
Speaker 4: shoulder of the bat. He looks so sure. In fact,

46
00:02:16,787 --> 00:02:19,907
Speaker 4: he's still arguing with the umpire. He doesn't think he's

47
00:02:19,947 --> 00:02:21,947
Speaker 4: hit it. The umpire say, mate, we went up and

48
00:02:21,987 --> 00:02:22,787
Speaker 4: reviewed the tape.

49
00:02:22,867 --> 00:02:24,907
Speaker 2: We swore the audio. There you go, Curtisy of the

50
00:02:24,907 --> 00:02:30,307
Speaker 2: Alternative Commentary Collective. That's the fourth SriLankan wicket, falling Charith Selanka,

Speaker 2: to fifteen overs Sri Lanka and a fifty one for

54
00:02:38,507 --> 00:02:42,267
Speaker 2: four Vishka Fernando, the opener, is pretty much playing a

55
00:02:42,267 --> 00:02:44,827
Speaker 2: lone hand. He's twenty six not out of thirty two

56
00:02:44,867 --> 00:02:47,147
Speaker 2: balls with a couple of boundaries and a six, being

64
00:03:09,267 --> 00:03:13,547
Speaker 2: In the women's event, Naomi Osaka and Clara Towson set

65
00:03:13,547 --> 00:03:15,867
Speaker 2: to do battle from five o'clock this afternoon. We'll preview

66
00:03:15,947 --> 00:03:20,347
Speaker 2: that shortly with our Sky Sport friends and that commentator

67
00:03:20,427 --> 00:03:24,067
Speaker 2: Ricky Swinell. Other matters around today. One of the undoubted

68
00:03:24,307 --> 00:03:27,427
Speaker 2: success stories of twenty twenty four was the emergence of

69
00:03:27,467 --> 00:03:31,147
Speaker 2: Auckland FC Director of Football Terry mcflynn with us after

70
00:03:31,187 --> 00:03:33,587
Speaker 2: one o'clock to I guess break down some of the

71
00:03:33,627 --> 00:03:35,827
Speaker 2: reasons why it's been so good for them on and

72
00:03:35,867 --> 00:03:38,627
Speaker 2: off the field so early in their life. Seventeen year

73
00:03:38,667 --> 00:03:43,667
Speaker 2: old Luke Littler yesterday clinch the World Darts Championship title,

74
00:03:43,707 --> 00:03:47,467
Speaker 2: will wrap that with Ben Francis early January as well.

75
00:03:47,627 --> 00:03:51,867
Speaker 2: Is always the time for resolutions and many sports people

76
00:03:51,907 --> 00:03:55,987
Speaker 2: and particularly coaches, i'm sure looking ahead and planning how

77
00:03:56,027 --> 00:03:58,427
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five can be a good year for them,

78
00:03:58,547 --> 00:04:02,027
Speaker 2: whether it's at elite level or perhaps at grassroots coaching

79
00:04:02,067 --> 00:04:05,467
Speaker 2: guru Wayne Goldsmith joining us after two with some tips

80
00:04:05,507 --> 00:04:10,067
Speaker 2: on making and keeping your sporting resolutions for twenty twenty five.

81
00:04:10,547 --> 00:04:15,547
Speaker 2: And Auckland City Hospital. Doctor Inia Oromatti has achieved an

82
00:04:15,587 --> 00:04:21,307
Speaker 2: incredible feat. He completed a self supported ultramarathon on all

83
00:04:21,467 --> 00:04:24,987
Speaker 2: seven continents in twenty twenty four. He's going to join

84
00:04:25,067 --> 00:04:27,667
Speaker 2: us the jet about that and exactly why it was

85
00:04:27,667 --> 00:04:30,267
Speaker 2: that he put his body through that. James mcconi back

86
00:04:30,307 --> 00:04:33,227
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty five in his regular slot as well

87
00:04:33,507 --> 00:04:35,987
Speaker 2: Live Sports Keep Tabs on the one day, as I say,

88
00:04:35,987 --> 00:04:39,187
Speaker 2: between the black Caps and Sri Lanka. Obviously, also Test

89
00:04:39,227 --> 00:04:43,227
Speaker 2: cricket at the SCG Australia and India underway on day

90
00:04:43,267 --> 00:04:45,987
Speaker 2: three in the next half hour or so. This test

91
00:04:46,067 --> 00:04:50,067
Speaker 2: is tantalizingly poised India one forty one for six in

92
00:04:50,147 --> 00:04:52,267
Speaker 2: their second innings, that to lead of one hundred and

93
00:04:52,307 --> 00:04:55,307
Speaker 2: forty five. Finals date at the ASP Tennis Classic is mentioned.

94
00:04:55,347 --> 00:04:59,627
Speaker 2: Also qualifying for the men's tournament is underweight and the

95
00:04:59,747 --> 00:05:03,507
Speaker 2: National Bowls Championships finals and the women's singles and the

00:05:27,907 --> 00:05:29,947
Speaker 1: most trusted home builder News Talks NB.

105
00:05:30,627 --> 00:05:33,787
Speaker 2: Let's start with tennis. Naomi Osaka and Clara Towson will

106
00:05:33,787 --> 00:05:38,267
Speaker 2: meet in this afternoon's ASB Women's Tennis Classic Final in Auckland.

107
00:05:38,627 --> 00:05:42,227
Speaker 2: Both emerged from the semifinals yesterday with straight sets wins.

108
00:05:42,747 --> 00:05:46,987
Speaker 2: Fifth seed Clara Towson over American Robin Montgomery.

109
00:05:48,347 --> 00:05:51,787
Speaker 6: Game the two matches in one day. That's the ultimate

110
00:05:51,867 --> 00:05:57,387
Speaker 6: results for Clara Towson. Cruise of the final of the

111
00:05:57,467 --> 00:06:03,467
Speaker 6: ASB Classic, the third final of her career, and she

112
00:06:03,587 --> 00:06:07,347
Speaker 6: has done it with some emphatic style, big shots, big

113
00:06:07,387 --> 00:06:09,907
Speaker 6: winners and now a big smile. Six to four or

114
00:06:10,027 --> 00:06:14,027
Speaker 6: six three. Clara Towson goes through to the final.

115
00:06:14,227 --> 00:06:17,227
Speaker 2: At Auckland and then seventh seed of that Japanese plan

116
00:06:17,387 --> 00:06:22,267
Speaker 2: Naomi Osaka far too good for Alicia Parks.

117
00:06:24,427 --> 00:06:30,067
Speaker 6: The marquee performance from the tournament's headline act. For the

118
00:06:30,107 --> 00:06:33,587
Speaker 6: first time since twenty twenty two, Naomi Osaka will play

119
00:06:33,667 --> 00:06:39,827
Speaker 6: for a title on the WTA Tour. The Young America

120
00:06:39,867 --> 00:06:42,507
Speaker 6: and Alisha Parks drew plenty at a She absorbed it

121
00:06:42,587 --> 00:06:48,707
Speaker 6: all in Naomi Osaka clinical, professional, calm and composed. She

122
00:06:48,827 --> 00:06:51,867
Speaker 6: goes through to the final six four six two.

123
00:06:52,187 --> 00:06:56,227
Speaker 2: Naomi Osaka and Clara Towson each last one a WTA

124
00:06:56,347 --> 00:06:59,787
Speaker 2: title in twenty twenty one, so are we while between

125
00:06:59,867 --> 00:07:02,747
Speaker 2: drinks for both of them live coverage on Skysport. The

126
00:07:02,827 --> 00:07:05,507
Speaker 2: voice you hear you heard calling those semi final wins

127
00:07:05,587 --> 00:07:08,547
Speaker 2: was of course lead com Montata Ricky Swanell, who joins

128
00:07:08,627 --> 00:07:11,747
Speaker 2: us now Ricky the first time these two have ever

129
00:07:11,787 --> 00:07:14,627
Speaker 2: played one another, which is always an intriguing prospect. Can

130
00:07:14,667 --> 00:07:17,387
Speaker 2: you perhaps start by comparing the two of them for

131
00:07:17,587 --> 00:07:19,867
Speaker 2: us and their relative strengths.

132
00:07:20,667 --> 00:07:23,747
Speaker 7: Yeah, they've got some similarities and that we've seen. How

133
00:07:23,787 --> 00:07:25,987
Speaker 7: are you Piney Stokes? It's the same I hello first

134
00:07:25,987 --> 00:07:28,307
Speaker 7: of all, before we get it, and happy New Year too.

135
00:07:28,547 --> 00:07:28,707
Speaker 3: Yeah.

136
00:07:28,707 --> 00:07:32,987
Speaker 7: Look, they have got some similarities in that big game style,

137
00:07:33,307 --> 00:07:36,227
Speaker 7: big weapons, big series, big four hands, and both have

138
00:07:36,307 --> 00:07:39,627
Speaker 7: been pretty controlled with it as well. When Naomi Osaka

139
00:07:39,667 --> 00:07:43,867
Speaker 7: played Alicia Parks in the semi final yesterday, which she

140
00:07:43,947 --> 00:07:46,787
Speaker 7: won in straight sets, eventually that Parks has got a

141
00:07:46,907 --> 00:07:49,547
Speaker 7: huge game, but she was probably just a bit more

142
00:07:49,587 --> 00:07:53,307
Speaker 7: of a slugger, didn't have necessarily the variety in the

143
00:07:53,307 --> 00:07:54,987
Speaker 7: game or the control when she needed it.

144
00:07:54,987 --> 00:07:56,587
Speaker 8: That somebody like Osaka has.

145
00:07:56,747 --> 00:07:59,427
Speaker 7: What we've seen from Clara Talson is that ability to

146
00:07:59,747 --> 00:08:02,707
Speaker 7: mix her game up as well a handful of occasions,

147
00:08:02,747 --> 00:08:06,627
Speaker 7: particularly in the quarter final against Madison Keys. Key is

148
00:08:06,627 --> 00:08:10,067
Speaker 7: getting stuck behind the baseline, and Towson had some really

149
00:08:10,107 --> 00:08:14,187
Speaker 7: lovely touch, good drop shots, some variety in her game

150
00:08:14,307 --> 00:08:16,947
Speaker 7: as well. She was a former world number one junior

151
00:08:16,947 --> 00:08:18,747
Speaker 7: and a lot of the juniors, you know, they come

152
00:08:18,787 --> 00:08:20,947
Speaker 7: through playing a heap of doubles as well, so she's

153
00:08:20,947 --> 00:08:23,587
Speaker 7: got that nice touch. But yeah, so there's some definite

154
00:08:23,707 --> 00:08:28,427
Speaker 7: similarities in their games. We could expect some big time tennis,

155
00:08:28,427 --> 00:08:31,227
Speaker 7: some big balling, which is quite I think the crowd

156
00:08:31,227 --> 00:08:34,787
Speaker 7: here always likes. I likes to see a couple of

157
00:08:34,787 --> 00:08:36,067
Speaker 7: big hitters really going at it.

158
00:08:36,267 --> 00:08:38,787
Speaker 2: Clara Tolson had a busy day yesterday, didn't see two

159
00:08:38,867 --> 00:08:40,907
Speaker 2: matches to reach the final of this single. She had

160
00:08:40,907 --> 00:08:43,507
Speaker 2: to complete her quarter final win over Madison Keys, then

161
00:08:43,547 --> 00:08:46,667
Speaker 2: beat Robin Montgomery and she had a double semi as well.

162
00:08:46,787 --> 00:08:49,907
Speaker 2: So will fatigue play any part today?

163
00:08:50,187 --> 00:08:52,987
Speaker 7: Yeah? I mean these players at this time of year,

164
00:08:53,227 --> 00:08:56,907
Speaker 7: they're coming off their preseason, right, They've been doing probably

165
00:08:56,947 --> 00:08:59,867
Speaker 7: double days, double training days, and spending a lot of

166
00:08:59,867 --> 00:09:02,827
Speaker 7: time on court in their preseason getting ready for it.

167
00:09:02,907 --> 00:09:03,987
Speaker 2: She didn't show.

168
00:09:04,107 --> 00:09:07,107
Speaker 7: Any signs of it at all. In a semi final

169
00:09:07,147 --> 00:09:09,507
Speaker 7: against Robert Montgomery. She just sort of picked up where

170
00:09:09,507 --> 00:09:11,267
Speaker 7: she left off. I guess the thing is with the

171
00:09:11,307 --> 00:09:14,307
Speaker 7: Keys match is that she was probably only on court

172
00:09:14,347 --> 00:09:16,827
Speaker 7: for about twenty minutes half an hour. It finished off

173
00:09:17,267 --> 00:09:18,227
Speaker 7: with a seven six.

174
00:09:18,027 --> 00:09:18,827
Speaker 3: Of the tiebreaker.

175
00:09:19,187 --> 00:09:21,947
Speaker 7: They had called off the quarter final relatively early the

176
00:09:22,027 --> 00:09:25,307
Speaker 7: day before, so the players would have left the stadium

177
00:09:25,347 --> 00:09:27,787
Speaker 7: at kind of nine thirty the night before. Then she

178
00:09:27,867 --> 00:09:30,467
Speaker 7: came out. They were slightly delayed getting on court at midday,

179
00:09:30,507 --> 00:09:33,187
Speaker 7: but so yes, while she was on court a lot

180
00:09:33,547 --> 00:09:35,067
Speaker 7: and we saw a lot of her, which was great.

181
00:09:35,627 --> 00:09:38,187
Speaker 7: You know, that second match at quarterfinal was about only

182
00:09:38,227 --> 00:09:40,667
Speaker 7: twenty minutes, and then the doubles match was only an

183
00:09:40,707 --> 00:09:43,027
Speaker 7: hour or so as well. And I wonder if maybe

184
00:09:43,347 --> 00:09:45,667
Speaker 7: she was a little bit, probably more mentally fatigued. I

185
00:09:45,707 --> 00:09:49,107
Speaker 7: would think that day for her as opposed to the

186
00:09:49,147 --> 00:09:52,387
Speaker 7: physical fatigue. But you know, we wait and see how

187
00:09:52,427 --> 00:09:55,187
Speaker 7: she comes out today. How heavy the legs may be

188
00:09:55,547 --> 00:09:58,507
Speaker 7: when you're playing someone like Osaka, who's just got such

189
00:09:58,547 --> 00:10:01,067
Speaker 7: big ground search and as I say that ability to

190
00:10:01,107 --> 00:10:02,187
Speaker 7: control it really well.

191
00:10:02,467 --> 00:10:05,027
Speaker 2: The pedigree of Naomi Osaka, we all know, you know,

192
00:10:05,187 --> 00:10:08,427
Speaker 2: two time Australian Open, a two time US Open winner.

193
00:10:08,507 --> 00:10:11,347
Speaker 2: That was a week while ago. Now, though, how do

194
00:10:11,427 --> 00:10:14,467
Speaker 2: you assess where she is now relative to when she

195
00:10:14,667 --> 00:10:17,107
Speaker 2: was rarely at her peak?

196
00:10:17,147 --> 00:10:19,707
Speaker 7: I think the game's getting back there. She looked really

197
00:10:19,707 --> 00:10:21,907
Speaker 7: good yesterday and what there was it? I thought there

198
00:10:21,947 --> 00:10:24,707
Speaker 7: was a sort of said the control, a kind of

199
00:10:24,827 --> 00:10:28,867
Speaker 7: calmness to her. She always stays really active. You can

200
00:10:28,907 --> 00:10:31,947
Speaker 7: see your thinking, you can see your kind of keeping

201
00:10:31,987 --> 00:10:35,667
Speaker 7: her game in. Obviously, it's a big thing to come

202
00:10:35,707 --> 00:10:38,587
Speaker 7: back from having a baby. Your body has changed completely

203
00:10:38,827 --> 00:10:41,307
Speaker 7: when you're getting back out there and initially not doing

204
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:42,987
Speaker 7: the things that it used to be able to do.

205
00:10:43,067 --> 00:10:43,147
Speaker 9: It.

206
00:10:43,187 --> 00:10:45,907
Speaker 7: So it has and will take her some time. But

207
00:10:46,147 --> 00:10:50,387
Speaker 7: I think certainly those signs are that she is back

208
00:10:50,427 --> 00:10:53,707
Speaker 7: to being able to compete at the very top again.

209
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:56,867
Speaker 7: I know there's a piece of stuff today with a

210
00:10:56,947 --> 00:10:58,987
Speaker 7: Dave Long where she's sort of said, like in the past,

211
00:10:59,027 --> 00:11:01,307
Speaker 7: she's probably been a bit guilty of not really focusing,

212
00:11:01,787 --> 00:11:04,547
Speaker 7: putting too much focus on these smaller tournaments. She's always

213
00:11:04,587 --> 00:11:07,147
Speaker 7: one big events, four Grand Slam and her other events

214
00:11:07,147 --> 00:11:09,707
Speaker 7: have always been massive, and so she's come here with

215
00:11:09,787 --> 00:11:13,547
Speaker 7: it with a really fresh focus. She's looked incredibly relaxed,

216
00:11:13,587 --> 00:11:16,627
Speaker 7: I must say too very Jovi or she's quite a

217
00:11:17,267 --> 00:11:19,947
Speaker 7: quietly spoken person, but very jovi. You've been out and

218
00:11:19,987 --> 00:11:23,147
Speaker 7: about things to be enjoying her new coaching team as well,

219
00:11:23,227 --> 00:11:25,467
Speaker 7: and even in matches like they've been having a laugh

220
00:11:25,507 --> 00:11:28,507
Speaker 7: and a giggle over things as well. So she looks

221
00:11:28,587 --> 00:11:31,507
Speaker 7: really composed and like super chill almost then.

222
00:11:31,387 --> 00:11:33,747
Speaker 2: Like great to hear, great to hear, well, I should

223
00:11:33,747 --> 00:11:36,427
Speaker 2: serve her well. So five o'clock this afternoon that's later

224
00:11:36,467 --> 00:11:38,787
Speaker 2: than normal. Is that because the men's qualifying.

225
00:11:38,947 --> 00:11:41,467
Speaker 7: No, they've changed that over the last couple of years

226
00:11:42,027 --> 00:11:44,987
Speaker 7: to be a twilight kind of final. I guess it

227
00:11:45,027 --> 00:11:49,347
Speaker 7: gets the punters in and suitably lubricated at around that time.

228
00:11:49,787 --> 00:11:52,627
Speaker 7: It's a nice, nice time of day to think, oh yes,

229
00:11:53,027 --> 00:11:54,627
Speaker 7: I'll pop in for a bite to eat and some

230
00:11:54,747 --> 00:11:58,027
Speaker 7: tennis and a glass of something fizzy or fizzy or

231
00:11:58,027 --> 00:12:00,827
Speaker 7: cold perhaps. So yeah, it's a good time and a

232
00:12:00,867 --> 00:12:03,107
Speaker 7: condition so much better. I mean, that is one factor

233
00:12:03,147 --> 00:12:06,707
Speaker 7: that the conditions at the tournament has been really, really tough,

234
00:12:06,787 --> 00:12:10,147
Speaker 7: and so the credit to Osaka and tough and how

235
00:12:10,147 --> 00:12:13,307
Speaker 7: they've handled the wind in particular. If that picks up again,

236
00:12:13,587 --> 00:12:15,227
Speaker 7: it could be effective for them as to say, those

237
00:12:15,227 --> 00:12:18,427
Speaker 7: big groundstrokes that they have and big serves, but they've

238
00:12:18,427 --> 00:12:21,147
Speaker 7: handled it well and at the moment probably conditions will

239
00:12:21,187 --> 00:12:23,227
Speaker 7: be as good as they've been all week. So yeah,

240
00:12:23,947 --> 00:12:27,547
Speaker 7: a nice twilight start for a Sunday late.

241
00:12:27,387 --> 00:12:30,667
Speaker 2: Afternoon, nothing wrong with it at all. I guess the

242
00:12:30,707 --> 00:12:33,707
Speaker 2: promoter's dream would have been Lulu Soun coming through and

243
00:12:33,707 --> 00:12:36,347
Speaker 2: going deep into the tournament. How disappointing was it to

244
00:12:36,347 --> 00:12:37,627
Speaker 2: see her tap out so early?

245
00:12:38,227 --> 00:12:41,347
Speaker 7: Yeah, a real shame, wasn't it. I mean, they and

246
00:12:41,427 --> 00:12:43,707
Speaker 7: I'm sure all the Kiwi fans would have been hoping

247
00:12:43,827 --> 00:12:46,187
Speaker 7: to to really be able to get into behind her

248
00:12:46,267 --> 00:12:49,827
Speaker 7: and to ride that wave, not least Lulu herself. She's

249
00:12:49,867 --> 00:12:52,507
Speaker 7: obviously coming off a handful of injuries which sort of

250
00:12:52,507 --> 00:12:54,747
Speaker 7: shut her season down a little bit earlier.

251
00:12:54,387 --> 00:12:54,467
Speaker 3: And.

252
00:12:56,227 --> 00:12:59,507
Speaker 7: Not quite back to where she is physically and where

253
00:12:59,507 --> 00:13:01,427
Speaker 7: she'll need to be because she's going to have a

254
00:13:01,427 --> 00:13:04,187
Speaker 7: whole lot of eyes from here on her again this year.

255
00:13:04,267 --> 00:13:06,947
Speaker 7: She played the most matches last year and she ever

256
00:13:06,987 --> 00:13:09,707
Speaker 7: had it at a high level, and so it's learning

257
00:13:09,707 --> 00:13:11,667
Speaker 7: for her body to be able to handle that, I guess.

258
00:13:11,707 --> 00:13:14,787
Speaker 7: But yeah, you're really disappointing, and maybe you just you know,

259
00:13:14,827 --> 00:13:16,947
Speaker 7: as I say, that little bit of added pressure, being

260
00:13:16,947 --> 00:13:19,227
Speaker 7: a headline name for a first time, being the local

261
00:13:19,267 --> 00:13:21,347
Speaker 7: for the first time, and all of those things. I mean,

262
00:13:21,387 --> 00:13:22,907
Speaker 7: the good thing is that we're going to see lu

263
00:13:22,947 --> 00:13:26,907
Speaker 7: LUs on here year after year. You would imagine, you know,

264
00:13:26,907 --> 00:13:28,107
Speaker 7: it's not going to be like, oh, who are you

265
00:13:28,107 --> 00:13:29,667
Speaker 7: going to have come into the Classic. You always know

266
00:13:29,707 --> 00:13:32,107
Speaker 7: you're going to have LULUs on a headline name.

267
00:13:31,987 --> 00:13:33,507
Speaker 8: To be able to tack that on.

268
00:13:34,387 --> 00:13:36,747
Speaker 7: But yet, yeah, disappointing to see it go so early,

269
00:13:36,787 --> 00:13:39,147
Speaker 7: particularly because she played so early, right she played day one,

270
00:13:39,187 --> 00:13:41,627
Speaker 7: I was like, oh straight away, you know the key.

271
00:13:41,627 --> 00:13:43,107
Speaker 8: We hope the fourth seed is gone.

272
00:13:43,307 --> 00:13:45,347
Speaker 2: What about the overall standard. We've got the final to go.

273
00:13:45,707 --> 00:13:48,267
Speaker 2: It's a good matchup, as you've outlined, but the overall

274
00:13:48,307 --> 00:13:50,547
Speaker 2: standard across the week. If you paid your money and

275
00:13:50,587 --> 00:13:52,307
Speaker 2: turned up for the first time, would you feel like

276
00:13:52,347 --> 00:13:53,627
Speaker 2: you've got value for your money?

277
00:13:54,187 --> 00:13:54,387
Speaker 10: Yeah?

278
00:13:54,387 --> 00:13:57,627
Speaker 7: I think so. I think it's been an interesting tournament

279
00:13:57,667 --> 00:14:01,787
Speaker 7: and tough losing Radikanu and Elise mertens as well, the

280
00:14:01,827 --> 00:14:04,187
Speaker 7: two of the top seeds, and then Amanda and a

281
00:14:04,227 --> 00:14:05,627
Speaker 7: Simova goes down in the first round.

282
00:14:05,627 --> 00:14:06,147
Speaker 2: So there you go.

283
00:14:06,187 --> 00:14:09,267
Speaker 7: You've got Son and as simovera Radakanu and Merton's gone

284
00:14:09,307 --> 00:14:12,307
Speaker 7: early on. Some of your named players, I think they'll

285
00:14:12,347 --> 00:14:14,147
Speaker 7: be the crowd would have come along, would have been

286
00:14:14,147 --> 00:14:16,427
Speaker 7: really impressed with what they've seen from some of the

287
00:14:16,507 --> 00:14:20,507
Speaker 7: newer names. Robin Montgomery certainly you get the feeling that

288
00:14:20,547 --> 00:14:22,707
Speaker 7: she'll be one that next year. If she had a

289
00:14:22,707 --> 00:14:24,347
Speaker 7: good year, people go oh. I saw her at the

290
00:14:24,387 --> 00:14:27,107
Speaker 7: Classic when she was twenty and she did really well

291
00:14:27,347 --> 00:14:30,627
Speaker 7: and be lost out in the semees. But she's a

292
00:14:30,707 --> 00:14:33,067
Speaker 7: real talent as well, saying with Alicia Parks, if she

293
00:14:33,107 --> 00:14:35,187
Speaker 7: can kind of control and add a little bit more

294
00:14:35,227 --> 00:14:36,987
Speaker 7: to her game, she's got a really good coach in

295
00:14:37,027 --> 00:14:40,867
Speaker 7: her corner. So it's I mean, I think people kind

296
00:14:40,867 --> 00:14:43,947
Speaker 7: of know. It's really tough for the tournament Nicholas Nico

297
00:14:44,027 --> 00:14:47,667
Speaker 7: Lamprin to be able to sneer these top fields all

298
00:14:47,667 --> 00:14:49,387
Speaker 7: the time, so to get the names he had to

299
00:14:49,467 --> 00:14:52,147
Speaker 7: have in Osaka, to have Madison Keys, you know, players

300
00:14:52,267 --> 00:14:54,547
Speaker 7: at the top. Radakan obviously we didn't get to see,

301
00:14:54,587 --> 00:14:57,587
Speaker 7: but she's she's a headline name. That's the way he

302
00:14:57,707 --> 00:15:00,547
Speaker 7: has to go because of the rules and restrictions around

303
00:15:00,667 --> 00:15:04,107
Speaker 7: who and where players can play. So we might see

304
00:15:04,107 --> 00:15:07,267
Speaker 7: a couple of well known names or players who have

305
00:15:07,427 --> 00:15:09,667
Speaker 7: been near the top, like a Sloan Stevens and Sophia

306
00:15:09,787 --> 00:15:12,507
Speaker 7: Kennan who've dropped down in the rankings a bit. But

307
00:15:13,107 --> 00:15:16,387
Speaker 7: having big deep fields is a different story.

308
00:15:16,427 --> 00:15:17,587
Speaker 3: They just won't be able.

309
00:15:17,387 --> 00:15:21,627
Speaker 7: To get those really deep, deep fields of players across

310
00:15:21,667 --> 00:15:24,107
Speaker 7: the board. So it's pad banking on some of these

311
00:15:24,307 --> 00:15:27,347
Speaker 7: young stars and a handful of other headliners around.

312
00:15:27,347 --> 00:15:28,787
Speaker 3: It is the way to go, all.

313
00:15:28,787 --> 00:15:32,147
Speaker 2: Right, Naomio Osaka, Clara Tawson, five o'clock this afternoon, who's

314
00:15:32,147 --> 00:15:34,547
Speaker 2: holding the trophy? Later on the scene, you.

315
00:15:34,467 --> 00:15:36,827
Speaker 7: Again asked that I knew you again. I mean the

316
00:15:36,907 --> 00:15:39,667
Speaker 7: dream scenario for all of us. It is, with all

317
00:15:39,747 --> 00:15:42,787
Speaker 7: due respect to Clara Talson, is that Naomio Osaka adds

318
00:15:42,827 --> 00:15:46,387
Speaker 7: her name to Serena Williams, Coco Goff, Venus Williams, Anna

319
00:15:46,427 --> 00:15:50,067
Speaker 7: Ivanovitch Because you know, we have had some absolute Hall

320
00:15:50,107 --> 00:15:52,627
Speaker 7: of Fame players lift that trophy in the last few

321
00:15:52,667 --> 00:15:56,347
Speaker 7: years and absolute superstars and so yeah, but the heart

322
00:15:56,387 --> 00:15:59,387
Speaker 7: and actually the head would say Naomi Osaka will lift

323
00:15:59,387 --> 00:16:00,347
Speaker 7: it up this afternoon.

324
00:16:00,587 --> 00:16:03,187
Speaker 2: Have absolutely loved your commentary across the week, Ricky, Thanks

325
00:16:03,227 --> 00:16:04,347
Speaker 2: for joining us this afternoon.

326
00:16:04,867 --> 00:16:06,067
Speaker 7: Pleasure Pinny, nice to chat.

327
00:16:06,147 --> 00:16:08,187
Speaker 2: Nice to you to Ricky. Ricky spell there. You can

328
00:16:08,227 --> 00:16:10,787
Speaker 2: hear her on Sky as the lead commentator when the

329
00:16:10,787 --> 00:16:13,427
Speaker 2: final we'll get to underway at five o'clock this afternoon,

330
00:16:13,627 --> 00:16:16,947
Speaker 2: twelve twenty four. If you've been following this tournament, you

331
00:16:17,027 --> 00:16:19,787
Speaker 2: might have some thoughts on who you're favoring this afternoon.

332
00:16:19,827 --> 00:16:22,467
Speaker 2: As Ricky just said, then the dream scenario is the

333
00:16:22,467 --> 00:16:27,227
Speaker 2: big name, right Naomi Osaka, the four time major winner.

334
00:16:28,667 --> 00:16:32,227
Speaker 2: She's paying a dollar forty four at the tab. Clara

335
00:16:32,267 --> 00:16:36,187
Speaker 2: Towson is playing is paying two dollars sixty. Tewson is

336
00:16:36,227 --> 00:16:39,267
Speaker 2: seated higher due to her world ranking, which is currently

337
00:16:39,347 --> 00:16:43,147
Speaker 2: number fifty in the world. Naomi Osaka currently world number

338
00:16:43,427 --> 00:16:47,347
Speaker 2: fifty seven. But I think the odds probably reflect the

339
00:16:47,347 --> 00:16:51,307
Speaker 2: pedigree and also the slightly more comfortable schedule for Naomi

340
00:16:51,347 --> 00:16:54,587
Speaker 2: Osaka not having to play a catch up game yesterday

341
00:16:54,787 --> 00:16:58,987
Speaker 2: and also not in the doubles either. If you've been

342
00:16:59,027 --> 00:17:00,627
Speaker 2: watching this or be keen to hear, you've used oh,

343
00:17:00,627 --> 00:17:05,067
Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty ten eighty, and have you been to

344
00:17:05,747 --> 00:17:08,627
Speaker 2: the asp BE Classic Every year when it comes around,

345
00:17:09,027 --> 00:17:13,547
Speaker 2: it's it's very well promoted. I think they put hundreds

346
00:17:13,547 --> 00:17:16,787
Speaker 2: and hundreds of hours of work and to making it

347
00:17:16,227 --> 00:17:21,267
Speaker 2: a real spectator experience. We often hear about the close

348
00:17:21,307 --> 00:17:25,187
Speaker 2: proximity of the spectators to the you know, the court,

349
00:17:25,547 --> 00:17:27,787
Speaker 2: and some of the players even find that a little bit.

350
00:17:28,227 --> 00:17:30,507
Speaker 2: First of all, they find it a bit strange because

351
00:17:30,507 --> 00:17:34,547
Speaker 2: it doesn't happen really anywhere else that the spectators are

352
00:17:34,547 --> 00:17:37,387
Speaker 2: so close. Those who pay the extra money perhaps or

353
00:17:37,427 --> 00:17:41,307
Speaker 2: get the invite from one of their one of their

354
00:17:41,307 --> 00:17:47,747
Speaker 2: corporate mates. Along to the tables, you're right there, right alongside.

355
00:17:47,907 --> 00:17:50,427
Speaker 2: But obviously the you know, the normal seats and the

356
00:17:50,947 --> 00:17:55,307
Speaker 2: and the amphitheater at at the at the tennis is

357
00:17:55,867 --> 00:17:59,547
Speaker 2: very conducive to watching, you know, at a really really

358
00:17:59,547 --> 00:18:02,587
Speaker 2: good distance away. If you've been, I'd like to hear

359
00:18:02,627 --> 00:18:05,907
Speaker 2: your experiences on this I eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.

360
00:18:05,987 --> 00:18:07,427
Speaker 2: Just give us a yell and let us know how

361
00:18:07,467 --> 00:18:09,867
Speaker 2: you found it, even if you've been you know before

362
00:18:10,107 --> 00:18:13,907
Speaker 2: or or this week. How does it compare to other

363
00:18:13,947 --> 00:18:17,307
Speaker 2: sporting events you've been to a New Zealand or overseas

364
00:18:17,347 --> 00:18:19,547
Speaker 2: in terms of the experience that you get the value

365
00:18:19,787 --> 00:18:21,947
Speaker 2: for money. I had the chance to be there a

366
00:18:21,947 --> 00:18:23,347
Speaker 2: couple of I think it was a couple of years ago,

367
00:18:23,467 --> 00:18:25,467
Speaker 2: wasn't wasn't last year, might have been the year before

368
00:18:26,227 --> 00:18:29,307
Speaker 2: to broadcast the radio show from there, and the vibe

369
00:18:29,307 --> 00:18:31,547
Speaker 2: around the place was great, but I was sort of

370
00:18:31,627 --> 00:18:34,347
Speaker 2: up in the broadcast area, so it's a bit falseo

371
00:18:34,387 --> 00:18:36,547
Speaker 2: in terms of the spectator experience. But how is it

372
00:18:36,587 --> 00:18:39,067
Speaker 2: as a punter? What's it like to be there? But

373
00:18:39,227 --> 00:18:41,067
Speaker 2: king to know if you've been, oh, eight hundred and

374
00:18:41,107 --> 00:18:43,747
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty nine two nine two, if you'd like

375
00:18:43,827 --> 00:18:46,467
Speaker 2: to send a text through to us updating you from

376
00:18:46,467 --> 00:18:50,547
Speaker 2: the base in Reserve where Shrolankap are starting to recover

377
00:18:50,707 --> 00:18:54,387
Speaker 2: from from losing four wickets early. They're up to sixty

378
00:18:54,467 --> 00:18:57,147
Speaker 2: three for four now they were twenty three for four,

379
00:18:57,267 --> 00:19:00,267
Speaker 2: so there's to have put on forty, these two being

380
00:19:00,387 --> 00:19:05,547
Speaker 2: a Vishka Fernando and Jonath Leejunga sixty three for four

381
00:19:05,587 --> 00:19:08,067
Speaker 2: in the eighteenth over, so New Zealand still i'm sure

382
00:19:08,107 --> 00:19:10,747
Speaker 2: will feel as though they've got the upper hand. Matt Henry,

383
00:19:10,787 --> 00:19:13,267
Speaker 2: Jacob Duffy, Nathan Smith a wick at each and also

384
00:19:13,787 --> 00:19:16,107
Speaker 2: a sharp run out by captain Mitchell Santner in there.

385
00:19:16,667 --> 00:19:20,547
Speaker 2: Sixty three for four becomes with a shot down to

386
00:19:20,587 --> 00:19:25,187
Speaker 2: backward square sixty four for four Now we'll keep you

387
00:19:25,267 --> 00:19:27,667
Speaker 2: updated on that twelve twenty seven here on News Talks.

388
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:29,387
Speaker 2: There'd be back on Weekend Sport after this.

389
00:19:30,867 --> 00:19:33,787
Speaker 1: You be the TMO. Have your say on eight hundred

390
00:19:33,787 --> 00:19:38,587
Speaker 1: and eighty ten eighty Weekend Sport with Jason Paine and GJ. Guvnerholmes,

391
00:19:38,787 --> 00:19:41,267
Speaker 1: New Zealand's most trusted home builder, News Talks.

392
00:19:41,267 --> 00:19:44,267
Speaker 2: There'd be bang on twelve thirty on Weekend Sports. Some

393
00:19:44,267 --> 00:19:46,507
Speaker 2: good techs through here on the tennis, So I had

394
00:19:46,507 --> 00:19:49,187
Speaker 2: the privilege, says this one, of going to corporate boxes

395
00:19:49,227 --> 00:19:52,547
Speaker 2: for many rugby and cricket games, but the ASB Tennis

396
00:19:52,547 --> 00:19:56,467
Speaker 2: Classic was the best event by far. I guess you're

397
00:19:56,507 --> 00:19:59,067
Speaker 2: so close, aren't you the cricket and the rugby. Yes,

398
00:19:59,107 --> 00:20:01,947
Speaker 2: you can have the corporate experience, but often you're miles

399
00:20:01,987 --> 00:20:06,267
Speaker 2: away just the proximity. Is there any event, any elite

400
00:20:06,467 --> 00:20:11,987
Speaker 2: events where you are that close to the action? As

401
00:20:11,987 --> 00:20:14,027
Speaker 2: I say, I know some of the players who haven't

402
00:20:14,067 --> 00:20:17,187
Speaker 2: been to Walkland before find it a bit jarring to

403
00:20:17,227 --> 00:20:19,787
Speaker 2: start with, but most of them, for the most part,

404
00:20:19,827 --> 00:20:23,267
Speaker 2: actually really enjoy it. Now there's the there's obviously the

405
00:20:23,347 --> 00:20:26,147
Speaker 2: need to be quiet when the serving is going on,

406
00:20:26,667 --> 00:20:28,827
Speaker 2: and I guess the later in the day you get

407
00:20:29,147 --> 00:20:31,227
Speaker 2: and the longest some of the patrons have been there,

408
00:20:31,627 --> 00:20:34,067
Speaker 2: the tougher it is to get the silence. But I

409
00:20:34,107 --> 00:20:37,187
Speaker 2: get the feeling that that if you were making too

410
00:20:37,227 --> 00:20:39,987
Speaker 2: much noise, you'd either be told to pipe down a

411
00:20:40,027 --> 00:20:41,867
Speaker 2: bit by those around you, or you might be you

412
00:20:41,947 --> 00:20:44,827
Speaker 2: might be told to head out the back somewhere, because

413
00:20:44,867 --> 00:20:47,307
Speaker 2: there is a whole precinct there. That's the other thing

414
00:20:47,347 --> 00:20:51,547
Speaker 2: about about the Tennis Center in Auckland is that there's

415
00:20:51,787 --> 00:20:53,747
Speaker 2: you know, there's all this sort of the areas out

416
00:20:53,787 --> 00:20:56,387
Speaker 2: the back if you like, where there's big screens and

417
00:20:56,867 --> 00:21:01,907
Speaker 2: bean bags and other places to watch Tony says Jason.

418
00:21:01,947 --> 00:21:04,587
Speaker 2: The best tennis spectacle at the moment is the United

419
00:21:04,627 --> 00:21:07,867
Speaker 2: Cup at the ken Rose Wall Arena in Sydney. An

420
00:21:07,907 --> 00:21:10,027
Speaker 2: amazing event to watch and what a venue, thanks Tony

421
00:21:10,587 --> 00:21:13,187
Speaker 2: and Pone. I love Stanley Street. It's a unique tennis venue,

422
00:21:13,227 --> 00:21:15,907
Speaker 2: says this one. But they do need to renovate the

423
00:21:16,067 --> 00:21:20,547
Speaker 2: entire precinct and enclosed center court is now a minimum

424
00:21:20,627 --> 00:21:24,787
Speaker 2: requirement these days to be a significant tournament. It is

425
00:21:24,827 --> 00:21:27,507
Speaker 2: a hard balance to maintain its flavor and feeling, but

426
00:21:27,587 --> 00:21:30,067
Speaker 2: it is a required change for the future.

427
00:21:30,107 --> 00:21:30,307
Speaker 11: Thanks.

428
00:21:30,347 --> 00:21:31,867
Speaker 2: Indeed, if you've been I'd love to hear from you,

429
00:21:31,947 --> 00:21:34,707
Speaker 2: especially if you have sat down their court side, right

430
00:21:34,787 --> 00:21:38,787
Speaker 2: up close. You must be able to just about you know,

431
00:21:40,507 --> 00:21:43,747
Speaker 2: is so close, aren't you? We need to make that

432
00:21:43,827 --> 00:21:48,227
Speaker 2: a We need to make that a weekend sport bucket

433
00:21:48,267 --> 00:21:51,907
Speaker 2: list item. To get up close. At the ASB Classic,

434
00:21:52,267 --> 00:21:55,227
Speaker 2: Naomi Osaka into the final. Of course, we heard from

435
00:21:55,267 --> 00:21:59,347
Speaker 2: Ricky Swinell earlier. She had to beat Alicia Parks yesterday

436
00:21:59,867 --> 00:22:04,267
Speaker 2: in her semi final, an opponent with quite a long reach,

437
00:22:05,147 --> 00:22:07,707
Speaker 2: a tall opponent. How did I was could deal with that?

438
00:22:07,867 --> 00:22:08,187
Speaker 11: I don't know.

439
00:22:08,227 --> 00:22:10,627
Speaker 12: I feel like every match against every player, you kind

440
00:22:10,627 --> 00:22:14,027
Speaker 12: of have to change things here and there, and against her,

441
00:22:14,707 --> 00:22:18,147
Speaker 12: she was definitely attacking myself quite a lot, So I

442
00:22:18,227 --> 00:22:21,387
Speaker 12: just tried to, I guess, get it out of her wingspan.

443
00:22:21,867 --> 00:22:24,507
Speaker 2: What's she more confident once the rallies got going that

444
00:22:24,587 --> 00:22:25,827
Speaker 2: she was in control of the match.

445
00:22:25,947 --> 00:22:29,427
Speaker 12: My biggest thing was just trying to get rhythm in

446
00:22:29,467 --> 00:22:32,227
Speaker 12: the rallies. Granted, I know we didn't play that many,

447
00:22:32,267 --> 00:22:36,907
Speaker 12: but I definitely would say against most players, I feel

448
00:22:36,907 --> 00:22:38,827
Speaker 12: more confident once the rally gets going.

449
00:22:39,107 --> 00:22:41,427
Speaker 2: What about the mental battle? Did she feel out there

450
00:22:41,467 --> 00:22:43,867
Speaker 2: as though she was winning the mental battle in this one?

451
00:22:44,027 --> 00:22:44,987
Speaker 13: I don't really think.

452
00:22:45,067 --> 00:22:49,027
Speaker 12: During the match, I think, I like try to concern

453
00:22:49,107 --> 00:22:51,427
Speaker 12: myself with what the other person's doing. But I do

454
00:22:51,467 --> 00:22:54,667
Speaker 12: feel like for me, I know I'm doing well once

455
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:58,947
Speaker 12: I don't remember what the score is because I realize,

456
00:22:58,987 --> 00:23:03,027
Speaker 12: like I'm trying my best every point and I'm just

457
00:23:03,067 --> 00:23:05,827
Speaker 12: so focused that I kind of lose sight of the

458
00:23:05,867 --> 00:23:09,667
Speaker 12: score line. And I think that's probably when I play

459
00:23:09,747 --> 00:23:13,907
Speaker 12: my best or when like my best treats come out.

460
00:23:13,987 --> 00:23:17,307
Speaker 2: So having not won a title since twenty twenty one,

461
00:23:17,387 --> 00:23:19,947
Speaker 2: what does it mean for nami Osaka to be into

462
00:23:19,947 --> 00:23:22,427
Speaker 2: a final early in twenty twenty five, and if the

463
00:23:22,507 --> 00:23:23,907
Speaker 2: chance to win one again?

464
00:23:24,067 --> 00:23:26,827
Speaker 12: You know, it's really weird. I think this is a

465
00:23:26,867 --> 00:23:30,267
Speaker 12: new experience for me, especially being you know, the first

466
00:23:30,347 --> 00:23:33,627
Speaker 12: tournament of the year. I've never had that before. But

467
00:23:36,787 --> 00:23:39,587
Speaker 12: I don't know, I really appreciate it. I think the

468
00:23:39,667 --> 00:23:43,107
Speaker 12: last year has grown my character a lot, and so

469
00:23:43,787 --> 00:23:46,187
Speaker 12: you know, I don't take this for granted at all,

470
00:23:46,267 --> 00:23:49,947
Speaker 12: and I'm looking forward to the match tomorrow. Of course,

471
00:23:49,987 --> 00:23:53,467
Speaker 12: I hope the journey doesn't stop here. But overall, I

472
00:23:53,507 --> 00:23:55,427
Speaker 12: think this trip has been a really good one.

473
00:23:55,627 --> 00:23:57,667
Speaker 2: This is the voice of Naomi Osaka. How does she

474
00:23:57,707 --> 00:24:00,587
Speaker 2: assesse the level of her game right now?

475
00:24:00,987 --> 00:24:03,827
Speaker 12: Honestly, I think I'm playing really good. It's really hard

476
00:24:03,867 --> 00:24:08,627
Speaker 12: to tell here though, because there's weather differences, of course,

477
00:24:08,707 --> 00:24:13,147
Speaker 12: and I feel like that's also a testament to being

478
00:24:13,187 --> 00:24:17,907
Speaker 12: able to adjust really well. But level wise, I honestly

479
00:24:17,947 --> 00:24:21,667
Speaker 12: can say I feel like I played the best I've

480
00:24:21,667 --> 00:24:27,227
Speaker 12: played in a while in Beijing, and unfortunately I got

481
00:24:27,267 --> 00:24:29,547
Speaker 12: injured there. But I'm hoping like this is a carry

482
00:24:29,587 --> 00:24:32,507
Speaker 12: on of that and then when I'm in Melbourne it'll

483
00:24:32,547 --> 00:24:35,907
Speaker 12: like really shine and yeah, that's all I can really

484
00:24:35,907 --> 00:24:36,267
Speaker 12: hope for.

485
00:24:36,667 --> 00:24:40,747
Speaker 2: And finally from Nami Osaka, with a five o'clock start

486
00:24:40,787 --> 00:24:44,387
Speaker 2: to this match, what will her pre match routine consist of?

487
00:24:44,707 --> 00:24:47,947
Speaker 12: I mean, definitely, I think you know, all tennis players

488
00:24:47,947 --> 00:24:52,227
Speaker 12: are superstitious. I always have to eat the same thing

489
00:24:52,267 --> 00:24:55,147
Speaker 12: for breakfast, and I'm quite tired of it at this point,

490
00:24:56,667 --> 00:24:59,427
Speaker 12: So same thing for breakfast. I listened to the same

491
00:24:59,787 --> 00:25:02,347
Speaker 12: music walking on to the court. I listened to the

492
00:25:02,387 --> 00:25:07,467
Speaker 12: same music in the car time my you on and

493
00:25:07,507 --> 00:25:08,107
Speaker 12: then my life.

494
00:25:08,787 --> 00:25:09,267
Speaker 4: It's a lie.

495
00:25:09,347 --> 00:25:10,707
Speaker 12: It can get very exhausting.

496
00:25:10,947 --> 00:25:14,067
Speaker 2: That is Naomi Osaka ahead of the final of the

497
00:25:14,067 --> 00:25:16,787
Speaker 2: ASP Women's Classic, which comes around five o'clock this afternoon

498
00:25:17,067 --> 00:25:20,267
Speaker 2: at the Auckland Tennis Center in Stanley Street, twenty four

499
00:25:20,747 --> 00:25:23,867
Speaker 2: to one updating you on some cricket at the Basement Reserve,

500
00:25:24,107 --> 00:25:26,907
Speaker 2: Troy Lanka seventy one for four, seventy one for four

501
00:25:27,267 --> 00:25:30,027
Speaker 2: in the twentieth over. Having been sent into bat By

502
00:25:30,387 --> 00:25:32,787
Speaker 2: New Zealand earlier on, they've recovered pretty well. They were

503
00:25:32,787 --> 00:25:37,227
Speaker 2: twenty odd for four. These two, Lejanga and Avishka are

504
00:25:37,227 --> 00:25:40,267
Speaker 2: doing things fairly nicely. As another ball flies away to

505
00:25:40,347 --> 00:25:43,507
Speaker 2: the cover boundary, I can report it's not the nicest

506
00:25:43,587 --> 00:25:46,667
Speaker 2: day in Wellington. They're out there playing. It's not raining

507
00:25:46,987 --> 00:25:48,827
Speaker 2: at the moment. It is heavily overcast and I think

508
00:25:48,827 --> 00:25:51,987
Speaker 2: a bit of rain was forecast for today at some stage.

509
00:25:52,027 --> 00:25:53,627
Speaker 2: Just not raining at the moment. But can I tell

510
00:25:53,627 --> 00:25:57,867
Speaker 2: you it's quite cold. If you've ever experienced a Wellington southerly,

511
00:25:58,227 --> 00:26:01,907
Speaker 2: then that's what we've got today. I'm just looking at

512
00:26:01,947 --> 00:26:04,667
Speaker 2: the people who have turned up and actually it's a

513
00:26:04,707 --> 00:26:08,507
Speaker 2: full house. The sold outsign is up. Whether all of

514
00:26:08,507 --> 00:26:10,667
Speaker 2: those who have bought tickets actually turn up, I guess

515
00:26:10,947 --> 00:26:12,547
Speaker 2: remains to be seen. But it's pretty full at the

516
00:26:12,587 --> 00:26:15,507
Speaker 2: moment looking at the television pictures, particularly the bank, but

517
00:26:15,667 --> 00:26:19,947
Speaker 2: everybody is rugged up, everybody has got the jacket on,

518
00:26:21,347 --> 00:26:27,787
Speaker 2: a few beanies, plenty of layers, and as far as

519
00:26:27,787 --> 00:26:29,867
Speaker 2: the players are consumed. We had Mitchell Santney yesterday, I

520
00:26:29,867 --> 00:26:32,787
Speaker 2: talk about what it's like playing in Wellington when it

521
00:26:32,787 --> 00:26:36,787
Speaker 2: gets a bit colder. It's those bowling into the southerly

522
00:26:36,987 --> 00:26:41,467
Speaker 2: that I guess we'll find it most will fight it

523
00:26:41,587 --> 00:26:46,427
Speaker 2: most problematic. So they'll be driving into the southerly breeze

524
00:26:46,427 --> 00:26:49,787
Speaker 2: from the from the scoreboard end of the Basemin Reserve.

525
00:26:49,907 --> 00:26:52,387
Speaker 2: I guess somebody has to do it, don't they. Twenty

526
00:26:52,427 --> 00:26:54,187
Speaker 2: five of the overs have to come from that end,

527
00:26:54,267 --> 00:26:57,907
Speaker 2: So it's whoever gets the shortest draw or perhaps whoever

528
00:26:57,987 --> 00:27:01,347
Speaker 2: pool's rank. As far as as far as that is concerned,

529
00:27:01,587 --> 00:27:04,787
Speaker 2: Jacob Duffy currently is bowling with the northerly at his back,

530
00:27:04,867 --> 00:27:07,667
Speaker 2: so he'll he'll he'll be happy with that anyway. Seventy

531
00:27:07,707 --> 00:27:10,227
Speaker 2: six for four in the twentieth over over at the

532
00:27:10,387 --> 00:27:14,987
Speaker 2: SCG India, resuming at one forty one for six in

533
00:27:15,067 --> 00:27:17,467
Speaker 2: their second innings. They've added a couple of runs this

534
00:27:17,507 --> 00:27:20,227
Speaker 2: morning for no further loss. They lead by one hundred

535
00:27:20,267 --> 00:27:25,467
Speaker 2: and forty seven runs. The big one here was around

536
00:27:26,387 --> 00:27:31,587
Speaker 2: Uspert Boomera. Now, yesterday he left the ground and was

537
00:27:32,267 --> 00:27:36,387
Speaker 2: shown on television heading to hospital to get something done.

538
00:27:36,907 --> 00:27:38,667
Speaker 2: I'll do a little bit of background here in the

539
00:27:38,667 --> 00:27:40,707
Speaker 2: next little while and find out for you what his

540
00:27:42,387 --> 00:27:45,147
Speaker 2: likelihood of involvement today is. By this sounds of it.

541
00:27:45,147 --> 00:27:49,067
Speaker 2: He's come to the ground, so he's there, which means

542
00:27:49,067 --> 00:27:51,747
Speaker 2: he can bat. The bigger one though, is whether he

543
00:27:51,747 --> 00:27:55,027
Speaker 2: can bowl. If he can bowl, then I think if

544
00:27:55,067 --> 00:27:57,147
Speaker 2: India get anything over a lead of two hundred, then

545
00:27:57,347 --> 00:28:01,707
Speaker 2: they our favorite. Because Jaspert Boomra has been remarkably good

546
00:28:02,267 --> 00:28:06,107
Speaker 2: in this series, so good thirty two wickets, the most

547
00:28:06,107 --> 00:28:09,987
Speaker 2: by any Indian bowler in a series in Australia. If

548
00:28:09,987 --> 00:28:13,627
Speaker 2: he was able to bowl in the Australian second innings,

549
00:28:14,267 --> 00:28:17,187
Speaker 2: and as I say, they're chasing anything north of two hundred,

550
00:28:17,507 --> 00:28:20,027
Speaker 2: I think it's advantage India to square the series at

551
00:28:20,027 --> 00:28:22,507
Speaker 2: two all. If he can't bowl, then that changes the

552
00:28:22,587 --> 00:28:26,267
Speaker 2: dynamic completely. Of course, the first thing India have to

553
00:28:26,347 --> 00:28:28,387
Speaker 2: do is build that lead. Currently they lead by one

554
00:28:28,427 --> 00:28:30,907
Speaker 2: hundred and forty seven. That is not I don't think

555
00:28:31,187 --> 00:28:33,787
Speaker 2: going to be enough even in a low scoring test

556
00:28:33,907 --> 00:28:36,227
Speaker 2: like this one. They want to push on towards that

557
00:28:36,307 --> 00:28:40,347
Speaker 2: psychological two hundred run lead and beyond as well. Currently

558
00:28:40,347 --> 00:28:42,867
Speaker 2: one forty three for six, they lead by one hundred

559
00:28:42,907 --> 00:28:45,107
Speaker 2: and forty seven, twenty one away from one. We'll take

560
00:28:45,107 --> 00:28:46,867
Speaker 2: a break, come back and then check in with the

561
00:28:46,907 --> 00:28:51,067
Speaker 2: Wellington Blaze and with jess Kerr Blaze all Rounder and

562
00:28:51,147 --> 00:28:53,827
Speaker 2: white films all round her who's started the super smash

563
00:28:54,227 --> 00:28:56,867
Speaker 2: in terrific fashion. She's with us right after this on

564
00:28:56,907 --> 00:28:57,787
Speaker 2: Weekend Sport.

565
00:28:58,227 --> 00:29:01,307
Speaker 1: Have have some more than just a game. Weekend Sport

566
00:29:01,587 --> 00:29:05,707
Speaker 1: with Chasing Vine and GJ. Gardnerhoves, New Zealand's most trusted

567
00:29:05,707 --> 00:29:07,307
Speaker 1: home builder, News Talks Be.

568
00:29:07,867 --> 00:29:09,707
Speaker 2: News Talk said be a seventeen and a half away

569
00:29:09,707 --> 00:29:11,907
Speaker 2: from one, Jessica. In just a moment, India have lost

570
00:29:11,907 --> 00:29:15,227
Speaker 2: their seventh wicket Ravendra Jadasia caught behind by Alex Carey

571
00:29:15,427 --> 00:29:17,747
Speaker 2: off the bowling of Pat Commons for thirteen. India one

572
00:29:17,867 --> 00:29:20,387
Speaker 2: forty seven for seven. They lead by one hundred and

573
00:29:20,467 --> 00:29:24,267
Speaker 2: fifty one runs. As far as jaspery Bomra is concerned,

574
00:29:24,427 --> 00:29:28,867
Speaker 2: he is padded up, so he will bat. That's the

575
00:29:28,907 --> 00:29:31,347
Speaker 2: first bit of good news. So he's available to take part.

576
00:29:31,787 --> 00:29:36,707
Speaker 2: He can also, the rules are how long before he

577
00:29:36,707 --> 00:29:39,587
Speaker 2: can bowl in the second innings. The the answer is

578
00:29:39,587 --> 00:29:42,307
Speaker 2: he can bowl straight away because India have batted for

579
00:29:42,427 --> 00:29:45,067
Speaker 2: longer than he was off the ground. So he's okay

580
00:29:45,067 --> 00:29:48,427
Speaker 2: to bowl. But whether he will there was talk earlier

581
00:29:48,467 --> 00:29:53,267
Speaker 2: that he he went through sort of some very very

582
00:29:53,427 --> 00:29:56,507
Speaker 2: gentle bowling in the warm up. I don't know what

583
00:29:56,547 --> 00:29:59,267
Speaker 2: that means as far as his ability to bowl properly

584
00:29:59,827 --> 00:30:03,147
Speaker 2: in Australia's second innings. I guess we'll wait and find out.

585
00:30:03,227 --> 00:30:07,507
Speaker 2: So a seventh wicket down for India now and a

586
00:30:07,627 --> 00:30:10,747
Speaker 2: lead still quite slender of one hundred and fifty one.

587
00:30:11,387 --> 00:30:13,827
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty one is the lead at the moment.

588
00:30:14,427 --> 00:30:16,867
Speaker 2: Closer to home, the Wellington Blaze have gone two from

589
00:30:16,867 --> 00:30:18,987
Speaker 2: two at the start of their defense of the domestic

590
00:30:19,027 --> 00:30:22,067
Speaker 2: women's T twenty competition. They bet the Central Hines by

591
00:30:22,307 --> 00:30:25,387
Speaker 2: twenty five runs in Nelson yesterday, posting one hundred and

592
00:30:25,547 --> 00:30:28,587
Speaker 2: fourteen for eight before bowling CD out for eighty nine.

593
00:30:28,707 --> 00:30:31,667
Speaker 2: It would have been a fairly straightforward choice, I'm sure

594
00:30:31,987 --> 00:30:34,667
Speaker 2: for Player of the match Wellington All rounded. Jess Kerr

595
00:30:35,067 --> 00:30:38,227
Speaker 2: made fifty nine or forty five balls in a game

596
00:30:38,267 --> 00:30:41,307
Speaker 2: where no other batter made twenty five, and then she

597
00:30:41,387 --> 00:30:42,707
Speaker 2: took three for fourteen with the.

598
00:30:42,667 --> 00:30:47,307
Speaker 14: Ball Wow and gone, Jessica.

599
00:30:47,827 --> 00:30:51,267
Speaker 2: It was the swing that did armitage. She came down

600
00:30:51,347 --> 00:30:51,867
Speaker 2: the wicket.

601
00:30:52,227 --> 00:30:56,947
Speaker 9: Couple of quiet overs here or good swing straight on

602
00:30:56,987 --> 00:30:57,747
Speaker 9: to the stumps.

603
00:30:57,867 --> 00:31:01,187
Speaker 2: Jessicaz with us. Congratulations on your performance and the win yesterday.

604
00:31:01,267 --> 00:31:03,347
Speaker 2: Jess Can we start with your batting? This was your

605
00:31:03,467 --> 00:31:07,387
Speaker 2: second fifty in two matches after your beaten sixty one

606
00:31:07,467 --> 00:31:10,667
Speaker 2: against Northern Districts on New Year's Day in Hamilton. Is

607
00:31:10,667 --> 00:31:13,227
Speaker 2: you're batting something you've been working pretty hard on.

608
00:31:13,947 --> 00:31:14,467
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.

609
00:31:14,587 --> 00:31:18,267
Speaker 15: I think obviously with the woman's game, you see all

610
00:31:18,307 --> 00:31:20,747
Speaker 15: around this sort of being the way to go, especially

611
00:31:20,747 --> 00:31:22,987
Speaker 15: in the international game. So it's something I've sort of

612
00:31:23,027 --> 00:31:26,147
Speaker 15: wanted to chip away at and I've sort of believed

613
00:31:26,227 --> 00:31:31,027
Speaker 15: I can contribute, especially with Wellington. So yeah, I've been

614
00:31:31,067 --> 00:31:34,147
Speaker 15: working hard in the winter and yeah, to have an

615
00:31:34,187 --> 00:31:36,347
Speaker 15: opportunity to bet a bit higher and spend more time

616
00:31:36,347 --> 00:31:37,427
Speaker 15: in the middle has been great.

617
00:31:37,747 --> 00:31:40,267
Speaker 2: So in terms of the work you're putting in, what

618
00:31:40,387 --> 00:31:42,707
Speaker 2: is it specifically that you're focusing on when it comes

619
00:31:42,747 --> 00:31:44,227
Speaker 2: to batting in the T twenty game.

620
00:31:45,667 --> 00:31:49,147
Speaker 15: I think I've always sort of naturally had the power

621
00:31:49,227 --> 00:31:52,507
Speaker 15: and ball striking abilities. I think it's for me just

622
00:31:52,627 --> 00:31:56,147
Speaker 15: the bits in between and being able to access a

623
00:31:56,187 --> 00:32:00,347
Speaker 15: few more areas across the wicket. I've always been quite

624
00:32:00,347 --> 00:32:02,307
Speaker 15: strong on the off side, so I've worked hard to

625
00:32:02,507 --> 00:32:05,467
Speaker 15: develop a sweep shot and just hitting hard, straight and

626
00:32:05,507 --> 00:32:08,387
Speaker 15: sticking to my drinks. But that's sort of been things

627
00:32:09,587 --> 00:32:12,387
Speaker 15: I've kept working on, and keeping that strike right.

628
00:32:12,307 --> 00:32:14,227
Speaker 2: High and coming in a bit higher in the order,

629
00:32:14,227 --> 00:32:16,427
Speaker 2: coming in at number five. Is that something that you

630
00:32:16,507 --> 00:32:18,827
Speaker 2: were keen to do as well? I guess the high

631
00:32:18,867 --> 00:32:21,107
Speaker 2: you are, the more likely you are to spend time

632
00:32:21,147 --> 00:32:22,987
Speaker 2: in the middle. Is that something that you discussed with

633
00:32:23,027 --> 00:32:24,947
Speaker 2: the rest of the team and the coaching stuff.

634
00:32:26,187 --> 00:32:27,907
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean I didn't get too much of a

635
00:32:27,987 --> 00:32:31,507
Speaker 15: surge of Scott Toles, you know, merely as a big

636
00:32:31,547 --> 00:32:34,667
Speaker 15: supporter of mine, which is great, and obviously T twenty

637
00:32:34,667 --> 00:32:38,147
Speaker 15: it it's a short game, so to be able to

638
00:32:38,147 --> 00:32:42,107
Speaker 15: have more time to bet as many balls as awesome,

639
00:32:42,187 --> 00:32:44,907
Speaker 15: and yeah, it's just great to have those opportunities and

640
00:32:45,667 --> 00:32:47,387
Speaker 15: while you hit so many balls in the nets you

641
00:32:47,427 --> 00:32:50,467
Speaker 15: can't really replicate time in the middle and gain time.

642
00:32:50,547 --> 00:32:52,787
Speaker 15: So to be able to have this opportunity for Wellington

643
00:32:52,827 --> 00:32:55,187
Speaker 15: is just going to be some great learnings for me.

644
00:32:55,507 --> 00:32:58,027
Speaker 2: How much did you enjoy batting with your sister Melee

645
00:32:58,307 --> 00:33:01,067
Speaker 2: against Northern up in Hamilton on New Year's Day? You

646
00:33:01,147 --> 00:33:03,427
Speaker 2: came together three down for not many. Did you enjoy

647
00:33:03,627 --> 00:33:05,707
Speaker 2: the chance to bat for a long period with Mealy?

648
00:33:06,707 --> 00:33:06,827
Speaker 16: Oh?

649
00:33:06,907 --> 00:33:09,667
Speaker 15: Yeah, it was pretty special. That she's obviously a world

650
00:33:09,667 --> 00:33:11,987
Speaker 15: class player and you know there's never going to be

651
00:33:12,027 --> 00:33:15,867
Speaker 15: pressure if you're betting with her, So yeah, she was awesome.

652
00:33:15,907 --> 00:33:18,587
Speaker 15: That made my job a lot easier, that's for sure,

653
00:33:18,667 --> 00:33:21,867
Speaker 15: And yeah, hopefully we can do that again. But she's

654
00:33:21,867 --> 00:33:23,787
Speaker 15: probably one of my favorite people to bet with and

655
00:33:24,027 --> 00:33:25,707
Speaker 15: managed to do it for a long time, so that

656
00:33:25,827 --> 00:33:26,507
Speaker 15: was great.

657
00:33:26,387 --> 00:33:29,627
Speaker 2: Good stuff. So yesterday one fourteen doesn't seem like a

658
00:33:29,627 --> 00:33:32,667
Speaker 2: big total to defend, but you defended it reasonably comfortably

659
00:33:32,667 --> 00:33:35,907
Speaker 2: to win by twenty five runs. In the Blaze, do

660
00:33:35,987 --> 00:33:39,147
Speaker 2: you kind of back yourselves to defend any total?

661
00:33:40,467 --> 00:33:42,827
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think we do. I think for a few

662
00:33:42,907 --> 00:33:45,507
Speaker 15: years now we've managed to win from a lot of

663
00:33:45,507 --> 00:33:48,947
Speaker 15: different scenarios and you just develop that belief. And I

664
00:33:48,987 --> 00:33:52,827
Speaker 15: think our bowling attackers is something really special, especially with

665
00:33:52,867 --> 00:33:56,547
Speaker 15: the spinners. I mean, Sarah Jetley and Leave was fantastic yesterday.

666
00:33:56,747 --> 00:33:59,467
Speaker 15: And knowing you've got nearly curdible four overs in the

667
00:33:59,507 --> 00:34:03,387
Speaker 15: middle is just just an absolute weapon. So yeah, I

668
00:34:03,427 --> 00:34:06,707
Speaker 15: think we've had so many different scenarios we've been able

669
00:34:06,747 --> 00:34:08,747
Speaker 15: to win, so we know if we don't get the

670
00:34:08,827 --> 00:34:09,587
Speaker 15: runs you want, we.

671
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:13,187
Speaker 2: Can fight hard with the ball and yourself with the ball,

672
00:34:13,307 --> 00:34:16,027
Speaker 2: you've always been able to swing it. But the delivery

673
00:34:16,027 --> 00:34:18,147
Speaker 2: that bold Holly Armata, she's a pretty handy player, must

674
00:34:18,147 --> 00:34:18,827
Speaker 2: have felt pretty good.

675
00:34:19,827 --> 00:34:22,227
Speaker 15: Yeah, definitely. I was a little bit disappointed with my

676
00:34:22,307 --> 00:34:26,307
Speaker 15: bow and performance in Hamilton, so I was quite determined

677
00:34:26,787 --> 00:34:30,187
Speaker 15: to come back and contribute with the ball as well.

678
00:34:30,227 --> 00:34:32,147
Speaker 15: But yeah, it was getting a bit of movement down

679
00:34:32,187 --> 00:34:35,867
Speaker 15: in Molson, so yeah, I was happy with that delivery.

680
00:34:37,107 --> 00:34:38,387
Speaker 15: More swing than I usually get.

681
00:34:38,507 --> 00:34:40,987
Speaker 2: No, it's a nice one. Alise Perry has spent the

682
00:34:40,987 --> 00:34:43,707
Speaker 2: first couple of games with the Blaze. I didn't quite

683
00:34:43,707 --> 00:34:46,347
Speaker 2: work out for her with the bat. But how much

684
00:34:46,387 --> 00:34:49,147
Speaker 2: did you enjoy having such a world class player around

685
00:34:49,187 --> 00:34:49,507
Speaker 2: the group.

686
00:34:50,587 --> 00:34:54,107
Speaker 15: Oh, she's been fantastic. Her energy around the group has

687
00:34:54,107 --> 00:34:57,707
Speaker 15: been amazing, And yeah, like you said, probably would have

688
00:34:57,787 --> 00:34:59,947
Speaker 15: liked to have scored a few more runs, but I

689
00:34:59,987 --> 00:35:02,307
Speaker 15: think just the learnings we've all had seeing the way

690
00:35:02,347 --> 00:35:07,067
Speaker 15: she trained that the great person she is is you know,

691
00:35:07,307 --> 00:35:09,907
Speaker 15: has contributed so much to us as a team, and

692
00:35:09,947 --> 00:35:12,827
Speaker 15: she's talking about wanting to come back and the years come,

693
00:35:12,907 --> 00:35:15,667
Speaker 15: so hopefully schedules the line and we'll get her back.

694
00:35:15,747 --> 00:35:17,907
Speaker 15: But yeah, I'm sure she's a bit sick of me.

695
00:35:17,947 --> 00:35:19,987
Speaker 15: And nearly now she's been hanging like us quite a

696
00:35:20,027 --> 00:35:23,027
Speaker 15: bust and hits have a roomy and whatnot, so she's

697
00:35:23,067 --> 00:35:27,107
Speaker 15: probably been humbled a bit, but she's she absolutely loved

698
00:35:27,107 --> 00:35:29,867
Speaker 15: it and always loved having her So it's pretty cool

699
00:35:29,867 --> 00:35:32,787
Speaker 15: to have someone like her wanting to play this tournament

700
00:35:32,827 --> 00:35:35,907
Speaker 15: and hopefully going forward they can just keep getting more

701
00:35:35,907 --> 00:35:40,107
Speaker 15: internationals coming. And and yeah, bettering.

702
00:35:39,427 --> 00:35:41,667
Speaker 2: The comp well, were you were you and meally sort

703
00:35:41,667 --> 00:35:43,507
Speaker 2: of the catalyst for this. Were you kind of chipping

704
00:35:43,507 --> 00:35:45,467
Speaker 2: a white herd during the you know, during your time

705
00:35:45,507 --> 00:35:47,227
Speaker 2: in Sydney, you know, say hey, come over for a

706
00:35:47,267 --> 00:35:48,187
Speaker 2: couple of games.

707
00:35:48,867 --> 00:35:52,467
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think it was the drawer against CD last year. Actually,

708
00:35:52,587 --> 00:35:55,627
Speaker 15: she messaged me and said, I don't know what was

709
00:35:55,627 --> 00:36:00,107
Speaker 15: was more incredible that that that board, that game, or

710
00:36:00,667 --> 00:36:04,747
Speaker 15: I think she noticed that his flipped So I sort

711
00:36:04,787 --> 00:36:08,067
Speaker 15: of said, all you come and play for us one year,

712
00:36:08,107 --> 00:36:10,827
Speaker 15: and she actually said I would love to, And at

713
00:36:10,907 --> 00:36:13,347
Speaker 15: first I thought she might have been joking, but she

714
00:36:13,427 --> 00:36:16,187
Speaker 15: said she was serious and from there I just did

715
00:36:16,227 --> 00:36:18,627
Speaker 15: a bit of hard yards and then merely was obviously

716
00:36:18,707 --> 00:36:22,827
Speaker 15: with for six and she kept she kept hounding here

717
00:36:22,867 --> 00:36:25,427
Speaker 15: as well, and yeah, scared a couple of games before

718
00:36:25,467 --> 00:36:28,427
Speaker 15: she starts the Ashes. Harry, is it that sort of worked?

719
00:36:28,467 --> 00:36:28,667
Speaker 3: Well?

720
00:36:28,827 --> 00:36:30,267
Speaker 2: Hope there's more to come. Hope there's more to come

721
00:36:30,307 --> 00:36:32,267
Speaker 2: on the years ahead. Change of coach for you as well.

722
00:36:32,547 --> 00:36:35,907
Speaker 2: Lance Dry has moved into a Pathway's role with Cricket Wellington.

723
00:36:36,147 --> 00:36:39,667
Speaker 2: Johnny Bassett Graham has taken the reins for the Super Smash.

724
00:36:40,067 --> 00:36:41,907
Speaker 2: How was it having a different voice around the group

725
00:36:42,147 --> 00:36:44,627
Speaker 2: having had Lance and Luke Woodcock there for so long.

726
00:36:45,907 --> 00:36:48,907
Speaker 15: Yeah, look, it's it's been. It's been fairly seamless and

727
00:36:49,387 --> 00:36:53,107
Speaker 15: Johnny and Joe has bought a great energy. I've had

728
00:36:53,107 --> 00:36:56,107
Speaker 15: a couple of sessions with Johnny and he just quietly

729
00:36:56,147 --> 00:36:59,707
Speaker 15: goes about his business and stills confidence in each of

730
00:36:59,827 --> 00:37:02,667
Speaker 15: us and Joe's just exit and dozing to be here too,

731
00:37:02,867 --> 00:37:07,187
Speaker 15: so too keeping specialists which is awesome for just mcfeddin

732
00:37:07,307 --> 00:37:10,947
Speaker 15: and but yeah, no, it's been really good and credit

733
00:37:10,987 --> 00:37:14,427
Speaker 15: to our girls for being able, adept and all that

734
00:37:14,507 --> 00:37:14,947
Speaker 15: as well.

735
00:37:15,347 --> 00:37:18,267
Speaker 2: And looking ahead this year, obviously the Super Smash takes

736
00:37:18,267 --> 00:37:21,427
Speaker 2: precedence at the moment, but ever international matches in March

737
00:37:21,627 --> 00:37:24,227
Speaker 2: Sri Lanka and Australia both here for White Ball Series,

738
00:37:24,267 --> 00:37:26,427
Speaker 2: then later in the year the fifty over World Cup.

739
00:37:26,467 --> 00:37:28,827
Speaker 2: How keen are you to be involved in more white

740
00:37:28,827 --> 00:37:32,147
Speaker 2: ferns cricket in twenty twenty five, Yeah, definitely.

741
00:37:32,227 --> 00:37:35,467
Speaker 15: I think I found it quite tough obviously still being

742
00:37:35,507 --> 00:37:38,147
Speaker 15: in the squad but not necessarily in the eleven for

743
00:37:38,707 --> 00:37:42,867
Speaker 15: further World Cup in the home series against Australia. So

744
00:37:43,147 --> 00:37:45,347
Speaker 15: you know, I'm always someone that's wanting to improve and.

745
00:37:45,267 --> 00:37:45,907
Speaker 3: Get better, and.

746
00:37:47,427 --> 00:37:50,227
Speaker 15: Like I said before that all round a spot is

747
00:37:50,547 --> 00:37:53,867
Speaker 15: sort of quite important now in the women's game, So yeah,

748
00:37:54,107 --> 00:37:56,787
Speaker 15: obviously bowling comes first, but if I can just keep

749
00:37:56,787 --> 00:38:01,107
Speaker 15: contributing and doing my job, hopefully I can I can

750
00:38:01,107 --> 00:38:03,307
Speaker 15: find a way into that squad and into that team

751
00:38:03,427 --> 00:38:06,627
Speaker 15: and yet pretty special to be able to play against

752
00:38:06,627 --> 00:38:11,067
Speaker 15: Sri Lanka and again and hopefully the World Cup in India.

753
00:38:11,147 --> 00:38:13,547
Speaker 15: I don't think you can get much better than that,

754
00:38:13,667 --> 00:38:15,867
Speaker 15: playing a playing in a World Cup in India.

755
00:38:16,067 --> 00:38:17,867
Speaker 2: Well, it's going well for you so far, Jess, thanks

756
00:38:17,867 --> 00:38:20,187
Speaker 2: for taking the time. Congratulations on the first two matches

757
00:38:20,427 --> 00:38:21,907
Speaker 2: for the Blaze. I look forward to seeing how the

758
00:38:21,947 --> 00:38:23,067
Speaker 2: rest of the season plays out.

759
00:38:23,947 --> 00:38:25,227
Speaker 3: Thanks Jesson, Thanks Jess.

760
00:38:25,307 --> 00:38:28,187
Speaker 2: Jess Kur there joining us from I presume she's at

761
00:38:28,187 --> 00:38:32,187
Speaker 2: the basin watching the black Caps take on Sri Lanka.

762
00:38:32,227 --> 00:38:35,787
Speaker 2: Shorlannkor have just brought up one hundred for four wickets

763
00:38:35,827 --> 00:38:37,747
Speaker 2: there in the twenty fourth over. One hundred for four,

764
00:38:38,187 --> 00:38:42,907
Speaker 2: so a good sort of bounce back partnership here, having

765
00:38:43,347 --> 00:38:47,427
Speaker 2: earlier been in a high degree of strife at twenty

766
00:38:47,507 --> 00:38:50,307
Speaker 2: three for four, these two aout of what seventy seven

767
00:38:50,347 --> 00:38:51,787
Speaker 2: now to take up to one hundred for four and

768
00:38:51,827 --> 00:38:55,147
Speaker 2: the twenty fourth over. We'll keep eyes on this for

769
00:38:55,187 --> 00:38:57,227
Speaker 2: you as far as the Super Smash is concerned, no

770

Speaker 2: have predicted the success that I've had so early in

785
00:39:51,227 --> 00:39:53,627

806
00:40:58,347 --> 00:41:01,667
Speaker 2: on to achieve given the fact he doesn't turn eighteen

807
00:41:02,227 --> 00:41:04,107
Speaker 2: for a couple of weeks and darts is not really

808
00:41:04,107 --> 00:41:07,707
Speaker 2: one of those sports where age is a barrier. I mean,

809
00:41:07,707 --> 00:41:10,987
Speaker 2: could he play for another, goodness, I don't know, thirty

810

818
00:41:36,827 --> 00:41:39,867
Speaker 2: NEWSTALKZEDB dot co dot NZ. Let's update you on live

819
00:41:39,907 --> 00:41:42,827
Speaker 2: sport as you heard from Nathan in our sports news

820
00:41:42,867 --> 00:41:46,107
Speaker 2: and New Zealand have gone bang bang in cricketing parlance,

821
00:41:46,627 --> 00:41:48,827
Speaker 2: and Sri Lanka, who are one hundred and ten for four,

822
00:41:49,347 --> 00:41:52,987
Speaker 2: are now one hundred and ten for six. The partnership

823
00:41:53,027 --> 00:41:58,227
Speaker 2: between Jonathan Leanga and Avishka Fernando is over and both

824
00:41:58,227 --> 00:42:00,227
Speaker 2: of those two batsmen in our back in the shed,

825
00:42:00,707 --> 00:42:04,707
Speaker 2: Avishka Fernando the opener out for fifty six and Lee

826
00:42:04,747 --> 00:42:08,747
Speaker 2: Younger for thirty six. So after twenty seven overs, Sri

827
00:42:08,867 --> 00:42:11,587
Speaker 2: Lanka one hundred and ten for six. Batting first couple

828
00:42:11,627 --> 00:42:13,627
Speaker 2: of wickets for Nathan Smith one it's for Matt Henry,

829
00:42:13,707 --> 00:42:17,067
Speaker 2: Jacob Duffy and Mitchell Santinap and there's been a runout

830
00:42:17,107 --> 00:42:19,747
Speaker 2: in there as well. And Australia have just picked up

831
00:42:19,787 --> 00:42:24,827
Speaker 2: the ninth Indian wicket at the SCG, the wicket of

832
00:42:24,987 --> 00:42:28,867
Speaker 2: Muhammad Suraj. He's been caught by Usmand Kwaja off the

833
00:42:28,907 --> 00:42:31,707
Speaker 2: bowling of Scotti Boland, who's picked up his fifth wicket

834
00:42:31,707 --> 00:42:34,147
Speaker 2: of the innings five for forty four to go with

835
00:42:34,227 --> 00:42:36,467
Speaker 2: his four for thirty one in the first innings. What

836
00:42:36,507 --> 00:42:41,747
Speaker 2: a performance from Scotty Boland. Jaspery Boomra is out there.

837
00:42:41,747 --> 00:42:46,227
Speaker 2: He'll be joined by Prisheid Krishna and the lead is

838
00:42:46,427 --> 00:42:50,347
Speaker 2: not that big for India one hundred and sixty day

839
00:42:50,427 --> 00:42:54,187
Speaker 2: lead by with doubt over whether Jasper Bomra will even

840
00:42:54,227 --> 00:42:57,507
Speaker 2: bowl in the second inning. So Australia well and truly

841
00:42:57,547 --> 00:43:00,267
Speaker 2: on top there. A win here would see them into

842
00:43:00,307 --> 00:43:03,907
Speaker 2: the World Test Championship Final a bit later on in

843
00:43:03,907 --> 00:43:07,147
Speaker 2: the year. And finally, just updating you from the National

844
00:43:07,267 --> 00:43:11,427
Speaker 2: Bowls Championships, the twenty twenty five Somerset Nationals being played

845
00:43:11,427 --> 00:43:14,427
Speaker 2: in Auckland at Browns Bay. Its finals day in the

846
00:43:14,507 --> 00:43:17,827
Speaker 2: women's singles and the men's pair and the women's singles

847
00:43:17,867 --> 00:43:22,427
Speaker 2: finals are really tight affair it's the first to twenty

848
00:43:22,507 --> 00:43:26,627
Speaker 2: one shots. They've had twenty ends. Dead White from the

849
00:43:26,707 --> 00:43:30,827
Speaker 2: Hinuera Bowling Club and Wendy Jensen out of Takapoona twenty

850
00:43:30,987 --> 00:43:35,027
Speaker 2: ends and it is deb White who leads thirteen shots

851
00:43:35,347 --> 00:43:38,627
Speaker 2: to eleven. So it's going to take them a while,

852
00:43:38,627 --> 00:43:40,667
Speaker 2: you'd have to think to get to twenty one. They've

853
00:43:40,667 --> 00:43:42,787
Speaker 2: been out there for ages. This game started I think

854
00:43:42,787 --> 00:43:45,547
Speaker 2: at eleven this morning, eleven thirty, so what we are

855
00:43:45,547 --> 00:43:48,907
Speaker 2: approaching a couple of hours and we're still a wee

856
00:43:48,907 --> 00:43:51,227
Speaker 2: way away from working out who is going to win

857
00:43:51,267 --> 00:43:54,147
Speaker 2: that one. Dead White and Wendy Jensen battling it out

858
00:43:54,187 --> 00:43:58,907
Speaker 2: for the women's singles title at the National Bowls Championships

859
00:43:58,907 --> 00:44:00,827
Speaker 2: in Auckland. As always, we'll keep you right up to

867
00:44:30,947 --> 00:44:35,307
Speaker 14: Alex Paulson's goal finally breached, but it wasn't enough to

868
00:44:35,427 --> 00:44:38,987
Speaker 14: silence the port, and it was not enough to lower

869
00:44:40,347 --> 00:44:45,147
Speaker 14: the blue and black colors of the A League's new boys.

870
00:44:46,907 --> 00:44:50,147
Speaker 14: They stay perfect, they go marching on.

871
00:44:50,867 --> 00:44:53,747
Speaker 2: As mentioned, one of the undoubted success stories on the

872
00:44:53,747 --> 00:44:56,267
Speaker 2: sports field and offered off twenty twenty fourth was the

873
00:44:56,307 --> 00:45:00,427
Speaker 2: emergence of Auckland FC in their first A League men's season.

874
00:45:00,747 --> 00:45:03,907

00:45:14,587 --> 00:45:18,307
Speaker 2: their fan base has grown from nothing to something pretty special,

879
00:45:18,587 --> 00:45:21,787
Speaker 2: with two sellout crowds at go Media Stadium and four

880
00:45:21,867 --> 00:45:26,467

887
00:45:44,307 --> 00:45:47,067

Speaker 17: important in this league to get off their good start

889
00:45:49,787 --> 00:45:52,307

900
00:46:16,627 --> 00:46:18,027
Speaker 5: real burning.

901
00:46:17,667 --> 00:46:20,707
Speaker 17: Ambition within the club to be successful and that stands

902
00:46:20,747 --> 00:46:23,667

00:46:35,667 --> 00:46:38,667
Speaker 17: weekly basis. So the players have really brought into what

908
00:46:38,667 --> 00:46:40,827
Speaker 17: we're trying to achieve and we're just taking the game

909
00:46:40,867 --> 00:46:41,867
Speaker 17: by game at this stage.

910
00:46:42,067 --> 00:46:44,227

00:46:55,027 --> 00:46:55,827
Speaker 17: whole group.

917
00:46:55,907 --> 00:46:56,787
Speaker 5: I think you can see that.

918
00:46:56,907 --> 00:46:59,267
Speaker 17: And you know, from the first whistle to the to

919
00:46:59,307 --> 00:47:02,627
Speaker 17: the last whistle, the boys never give up. They keep

920

Speaker 17: working for each other, they keep working for the club,

921
00:47:04,547 --> 00:47:07,107

928
00:47:23,787 --> 00:47:23,947
Speaker 16: Oh?

Speaker 17: improvement to do. We're a brand new group. Like I said,

931
00:47:28,547 --> 00:47:31,067
Speaker 17: we only started in July. There's a lot of cohesion

932
00:47:31,067 --> 00:47:33,787
Speaker 17: that still needs to take place over the common weeks

933
00:47:33,827 --> 00:47:36,347
Speaker 17: and months, and we continue to work on that day

934
00:47:36,427 --> 00:47:39,307
Speaker 17: and day as I said, did the coaching staff, Steve

935
00:47:39,387 --> 00:47:42,147
Speaker 17: Cork and Danny Hay, Jonathan Gold, Elias Priacre and all

936
00:47:42,187 --> 00:47:46,307
Speaker 17: the medical team beat Christie. They're doing an amazing job

937
00:47:47,267 --> 00:47:50,427
Speaker 17: with all the players and Foster and that relationships Foster

938
00:47:50,507 --> 00:47:53,187
Speaker 17: and that cohesion and working together behind the common goal.

939
00:47:53,787 --> 00:47:55,947
Speaker 2: You've known Steve Carriker for a very long time. You

940
00:47:56,027 --> 00:48:00,027
Speaker 2: played together, of course at SYDNEYFC. What are his strengths

941
00:48:00,147 --> 00:48:00,907
Speaker 2: as a head coach?

942
00:48:02,107 --> 00:48:05,467
Speaker 17: Alok, Steve is a very very good tactician first and foremost.

943
00:48:05,547 --> 00:48:07,387
Speaker 17: That's his job as a head coach is to set

944
00:48:07,427 --> 00:48:09,827
Speaker 17: the tactics for the team.

945
00:48:09,947 --> 00:48:11,387
Speaker 5: He's very trusted of his staff.

946
00:48:11,467 --> 00:48:13,787
Speaker 17: You know, as I said, all the coaching staff are

947
00:48:13,787 --> 00:48:17,067
Speaker 17: doing an amazing job with their departments, whether it's a

948
00:48:17,107 --> 00:48:20,587
Speaker 17: head of performance, whether it's assistant coach, goalkeeper, coach, medical.

949
00:48:20,867 --> 00:48:22,467
Speaker 17: There's a lot of trust in the group from Steve

950
00:48:22,467 --> 00:48:25,347
Speaker 17: as the head coach. He empires people. I think you

951
00:48:25,347 --> 00:48:28,507
Speaker 17: can see that in the freedom that the departments have,

952
00:48:29,267 --> 00:48:31,067
Speaker 17: but also in the players as well as a real

953
00:48:31,107 --> 00:48:33,587
Speaker 17: trust in the system. There's a real trust in the

954
00:48:33,667 --> 00:48:35,907
Speaker 17: environment and like I said, it's just a joy to

955
00:48:35,987 --> 00:48:36,947
Speaker 17: come into work every day.

956
00:48:37,307 --> 00:48:39,547
Speaker 2: Danny, how you mentioned them there, assistant coach of course,

957
00:48:39,587 --> 00:48:42,067
Speaker 2: former All Whites head coach and a guy who has

958
00:48:42,067 --> 00:48:44,707
Speaker 2: been a head coach for away while in other environments.

959
00:48:45,187 --> 00:48:46,947
Speaker 2: I guess there might have been a few questions about

960
00:48:46,947 --> 00:48:49,627
Speaker 2: how he'd adjust to a role as an assistant coach.

961
00:48:49,667 --> 00:48:51,307
Speaker 2: What have you sayen from him? In that regard.

962
00:48:52,027 --> 00:48:54,747
Speaker 17: Oh, Daniel's been fantastic. You know, he's a real sign

963
00:48:54,747 --> 00:48:57,107
Speaker 17: and board for Stev. They've obviously known each other for

964
00:48:57,147 --> 00:48:59,307
Speaker 17: a long long time as well, they played together in England.

965
00:49:00,387 --> 00:49:02,987
Speaker 17: So again I think having that knowledge in the room.

966
00:49:03,387 --> 00:49:06,467
Speaker 17: Jonathan Gould's another one. Having that type of foot or

967
00:49:06,587 --> 00:49:09,907
Speaker 17: knowledge experience in the room is only beneficial to the

968
00:49:09,907 --> 00:49:10,347
Speaker 17: whole group.

969
00:49:11,067 --> 00:49:16,307
Speaker 2: Your imports, Terry Geygoss for Strata my moreno, Saki, I've

970
00:49:16,347 --> 00:49:19,187
Speaker 2: all worked out, which is you know, that's not always

971
00:49:19,227 --> 00:49:21,387
Speaker 2: the case with imports, as you know, I mean there

972
00:49:21,387 --> 00:49:23,587
Speaker 2: have been some imports on the A League who haven't

973
00:49:23,587 --> 00:49:26,987
Speaker 2: come as advertised. How did you do your due diligence

974
00:49:27,467 --> 00:49:29,907
Speaker 2: on your foreigners to make sure you've got good players

975
00:49:29,947 --> 00:49:30,627
Speaker 2: and good people.

976
00:49:32,107 --> 00:49:34,107
Speaker 17: Yeah, I looked at this was a little bit different

977
00:49:34,787 --> 00:49:37,027
Speaker 17: to what we're previously used to Jesson, to be honest,

978
00:49:37,227 --> 00:49:39,827
Speaker 17: was to bring a foreign player to a club that

979
00:49:39,827 --> 00:49:42,987
Speaker 17: didn't exist was a bit of a challenge. Obviously, a

980
00:49:42,987 --> 00:49:45,747
Speaker 17: lot of the selling points and bringing foreigners to the

981
00:49:45,747 --> 00:49:48,947
Speaker 17: competition as your history and your heritage.

982
00:49:49,147 --> 00:49:50,427
Speaker 5: Obviously we didn't have any of that.

983
00:49:50,987 --> 00:49:53,427
Speaker 17: So again it's testament to our head of recruitment, Dog

984
00:49:53,467 --> 00:49:57,467
Speaker 17: Corse did a lot of work in the boatground in

985
00:49:57,507 --> 00:50:00,347
Speaker 17: around this type of player that we wanted to bring in,

986
00:50:01,027 --> 00:50:03,347
Speaker 17: but more importantly it was about the people that we

987
00:50:03,427 --> 00:50:05,027
Speaker 17: bring in. You know, we said that from day one

988
00:50:05,107 --> 00:50:07,467
Speaker 17: that we want to feel building up with good people.

989
00:50:07,987 --> 00:50:10,667
Speaker 17: With good people, you can achieve anything. And as you said,

990
00:50:11,627 --> 00:50:15,027
Speaker 17: all five imports are good people.

991
00:50:15,387 --> 00:50:17,067
Speaker 5: They're here for the right reasons. They want to bring

992
00:50:17,107 --> 00:50:18,027
Speaker 5: success to Auckland.

993
00:50:18,227 --> 00:50:20,107
Speaker 17: They want to bring success to this football club and

994
00:50:20,587 --> 00:50:23,867
Speaker 17: make the supporters in the stands prior to the performances

995
00:50:23,907 --> 00:50:24,467
Speaker 17: weekend we go.

996
00:50:24,987 --> 00:50:28,587
Speaker 2: And one of them came with huge pedigree obviously, Hierarchy Sakai.

997
00:50:28,787 --> 00:50:32,587
Speaker 2: He's your inaugural club captain. Can you give us an

998
00:50:32,627 --> 00:50:34,667
Speaker 2: idea of his influence around this playing group.

999
00:50:36,187 --> 00:50:39,467
Speaker 17: Yeah, Look at Rookie is incredibly influential in the group,

1000
00:50:40,067 --> 00:50:42,307
Speaker 17: you know. For I think it's a very important one

1001
00:50:42,347 --> 00:50:45,747
Speaker 17: for our younger players to take note of what he's

1002
00:50:45,787 --> 00:50:48,747
Speaker 17: actually done in the game. To play seventy five times

1003
00:50:48,747 --> 00:50:52,867
Speaker 17: for your country, playing three World Cups, playing multiple countries

1004
00:50:52,907 --> 00:50:55,867
Speaker 17: around the world, and obviously his hometown in his home

1005
00:50:55,987 --> 00:50:56,827
Speaker 17: country in Japan.

1006
00:50:56,947 --> 00:51:00,467
Speaker 5: He also played in France, he played in Germany, so.

1007
00:51:00,427 --> 00:51:03,587
Speaker 17: He's the experience that he brings to the group, the

1008
00:51:03,667 --> 00:51:05,227
Speaker 17: knowledge that he brings to the group, and just a

1009
00:51:05,267 --> 00:51:09,987
Speaker 17: professionalism both on and off the pitch is a real

1010
00:51:10,347 --> 00:51:14,307
Speaker 17: I don't think we'll actually see how important Hiroki is

1011
00:51:14,507 --> 00:51:18,467
Speaker 17: for our football club short term. I think the benefits

1012
00:51:18,747 --> 00:51:20,947
Speaker 17: our football club be long term. And the professionalism that

1013
00:51:20,987 --> 00:51:23,227
Speaker 17: he's he's bringing to the club. And you know, the

1014
00:51:23,267 --> 00:51:25,387
Speaker 17: younger players are run the run the traps that Fim

1015
00:51:25,467 --> 00:51:29,947
Speaker 17: McKinley and Ollie Middleton and Louis Toomey and John t Bidwell,

1016
00:51:30,187 --> 00:51:33,187
Speaker 17: Jesse randall these young players that are learning the craft

1017
00:51:33,187 --> 00:51:34,707
Speaker 17: and learning their trade.

1018
00:51:34,987 --> 00:51:37,867
Speaker 5: To have someone like Karokie in the dress rooms invaluable.

1019
00:51:38,507 --> 00:51:40,547
Speaker 2: You're going along brilliantly. And then there was that that

1020
00:51:40,587 --> 00:51:42,507
Speaker 2: little bump in the road, the four nilla home loss

1021
00:51:42,507 --> 00:51:45,027
Speaker 2: to Western United. How much of a of a bump

1022
00:51:45,027 --> 00:51:47,347
Speaker 2: in the road was that? And and how I guess

1023
00:51:47,587 --> 00:51:49,907
Speaker 2: pleased were you to see the bounce back performance a

1024
00:51:49,907 --> 00:51:51,267
Speaker 2: week later against the Mariners.

1025
00:51:52,027 --> 00:51:53,747
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, we've we've always said it, Jess.

1026
00:51:53,787 --> 00:51:56,307
Speaker 17: We're never getting too carried away with with things has

1027
00:51:56,347 --> 00:51:58,267
Speaker 17: going well, and we won't get too carried away when

1028
00:51:58,267 --> 00:51:59,627
Speaker 17: we do have a little speed bump for us, it's

1029
00:51:59,627 --> 00:52:04,547
Speaker 17: a but sticking to the processes, sticking to what works

1030
00:52:05,027 --> 00:52:07,667
Speaker 17: weekend week guide. For us, we wanted to see a reaction.

1031
00:52:08,667 --> 00:52:10,627
Speaker 17: We got that reaction when we went to Central Coast.

1032
00:52:10,987 --> 00:52:14,827
Speaker 17: The players refocused and we went again. So for us,

1033
00:52:14,947 --> 00:52:18,947
Speaker 17: it wasn't a major deal. You know, we know in

1034
00:52:19,027 --> 00:52:21,987
Speaker 17: sport that everything is not going to always go smoothly

1035
00:52:22,067 --> 00:52:25,027
Speaker 17: and it's not always going to go your way. And likewise,

1036
00:52:25,027 --> 00:52:26,987
Speaker 17: when things are going well, it's about how you react

1037
00:52:27,027 --> 00:52:29,587
Speaker 17: to things. So you can never get too carried away

1038
00:52:29,627 --> 00:52:31,067
Speaker 17: when things have gone well, and you can never get

1039
00:52:31,067 --> 00:52:33,547
Speaker 17: too carried away when things don't go the way they are.

1040
00:52:33,587 --> 00:52:36,547
Speaker 17: As long as we can identify areas where we can improve,

1041
00:52:37,227 --> 00:52:38,787
Speaker 17: unless we continue to do day and day.

1042
00:52:39,427 --> 00:52:41,987
Speaker 2: How much are the players and the and the staff

1043
00:52:42,027 --> 00:52:43,867
Speaker 2: and the you know, everybody in the club. How much

1044
00:52:43,907 --> 00:52:47,227
Speaker 2: you enjoyed the atmosphere EDG Media Stadium for home games?

1045
00:52:47,987 --> 00:52:51,307
Speaker 17: Oh, it's amazing, It's absolutely amazing. I've said before the

1046
00:52:51,347 --> 00:52:54,907
Speaker 17: work that Nick Becker and all the admin team off

1047
00:52:54,987 --> 00:52:56,987
Speaker 17: the pitch is done to fill up the stadium. The

1048
00:52:56,987 --> 00:53:01,107
Speaker 17: boys absolutely love it long and out to you know,

1049
00:53:01,147 --> 00:53:03,307
Speaker 17: a massive crowd every week. I think we're leading the

1050
00:53:03,347 --> 00:53:06,227
Speaker 17: crowded the men, I think, and so I'll start. You know,

1051
00:53:06,267 --> 00:53:07,987
Speaker 17: the Day were the first club to break a hundred

1052
00:53:08,027 --> 00:53:11,307
Speaker 17: thousand support us through the turnstiles this season, so you

1053
00:53:11,347 --> 00:53:13,987
Speaker 17: know that's again that's testament to the to the team

1054
00:53:14,027 --> 00:53:16,507
Speaker 17: that have made the fan experience what it is. You know,

1055
00:53:16,627 --> 00:53:23,267
Speaker 17: to see families, kids, teenagers.

1056
00:53:22,387 --> 00:53:24,667
Speaker 5: You know, everyone turning up on match to day. There's

1057
00:53:24,667 --> 00:53:25,427
Speaker 5: something for everyone.

1058
00:53:25,467 --> 00:53:27,267
Speaker 17: You know, we had the beach, we've got the inflatables,

1059
00:53:27,267 --> 00:53:29,667
Speaker 17: we've got the slide, we've got much day experience, we've

1060
00:53:29,667 --> 00:53:31,507
Speaker 17: got the Black night club, we've got good football on

1061
00:53:31,547 --> 00:53:34,827
Speaker 17: the pitch, so there's actually something for everyone. And just

1062
00:53:34,867 --> 00:53:37,587
Speaker 17: to see the joy on the people's faces. I'm obviously

1063
00:53:37,587 --> 00:53:38,867
Speaker 17: getting good results helps as well.

1064
00:53:39,147 --> 00:53:43,187
Speaker 2: The director of football is an overarching role that you hold,

1065
00:53:43,467 --> 00:53:45,147
Speaker 2: what takes up most of your time.

1066
00:53:47,707 --> 00:53:50,347
Speaker 17: Look, obviously in the initial phase was setting up the

1067
00:53:50,347 --> 00:53:54,187
Speaker 17: football department for the men's team. When I shift and

1068
00:53:54,267 --> 00:53:58,227
Speaker 17: focus to certainly myself is to setting up the female program.

1069
00:53:58,747 --> 00:54:03,507
Speaker 17: So we'll into the competition this year. See that's that's

1070
00:54:03,507 --> 00:54:05,707
Speaker 17: sort of where my focus shift at a minute. But

1071
00:54:05,747 --> 00:54:08,027
Speaker 17: really to day it is just making sure that everything's

1072
00:54:08,067 --> 00:54:11,827
Speaker 17: running smoothly. If the coaches need, I signed on board

1073
00:54:11,867 --> 00:54:15,387
Speaker 17: if the players need to have a chat about anything, logistically,

1074
00:54:15,467 --> 00:54:18,867
Speaker 17: making sure that the team's moving around the country in

1075
00:54:18,907 --> 00:54:23,067
Speaker 17: and out of Australia smoothly, and just generally being here

1076
00:54:23,107 --> 00:54:25,187
Speaker 17: and making sure that the department's run out smoothly.

1077
00:54:25,507 --> 00:54:29,587
Speaker 2: Any unexpected surprises in that role, good or bad.

1078
00:54:30,827 --> 00:54:32,467
Speaker 5: Oh, Look, that's the beauty of football.

1079
00:54:32,787 --> 00:54:35,627
Speaker 17: You know, you're dealing with people, You're dealing with emotions

1080
00:54:36,307 --> 00:54:39,147
Speaker 17: every single day. So that's the beauty of the jobs

1081
00:54:39,187 --> 00:54:42,467
Speaker 17: in that never two days of the same. There's always

1082
00:54:42,467 --> 00:54:45,307
Speaker 17: something that needs attention. There's always something that needs to

1083
00:54:45,347 --> 00:54:49,267
Speaker 17: be rectified and something that needs to be addressed, which

1084
00:54:49,267 --> 00:54:50,907
Speaker 17: is the beauty of it. But like I said, with

1085
00:54:51,027 --> 00:54:53,467
Speaker 17: good people, you can achieve anything. We've got some fantastic

1086
00:54:53,467 --> 00:54:55,987
Speaker 17: people in this building and it's just a joy to

1087
00:54:55,987 --> 00:54:56,627
Speaker 17: be here every day.

1088
00:54:56,787 --> 00:54:58,547
Speaker 2: Well, as I said at the start, one of the

1089
00:54:58,627 --> 00:55:00,747
Speaker 2: undoubted success stories of the last little while is the

1090
00:55:00,747 --> 00:55:03,347
Speaker 2: emergence of Auklandiff say, congrect on your part and that

1091
00:55:03,507 --> 00:55:05,947
Speaker 2: Terry or the Beast four are brilliant. Twenty twenty five.

1092
00:55:05,947 --> 00:55:07,867
Speaker 2: Thanks for taking the time for a chat.

1093
00:55:08,107 --> 00:55:09,707
Speaker 5: No problem, Thank you very much for your support.

1094
00:55:09,747 --> 00:55:12,387
Speaker 2: Jesson Now too easy, Terry. Thanks indeed, Terry mcflynn, director

1095
00:55:12,387 --> 00:55:17,027
Speaker 2: of football at Auckland FC, who have entered into the

1096
00:55:17,067 --> 00:55:20,107
Speaker 2: new year. I said five points clear, actually four points

1097
00:55:20,107 --> 00:55:22,027
Speaker 2: clear at the top Melbourne Victory picking up a point

1098
00:55:22,067 --> 00:55:24,347
Speaker 2: last night in a too wall draw with Western Sydney,

1099
00:55:24,387 --> 00:55:27,307
Speaker 2: so four points clear Auckland FC. But they do have

1100
00:55:27,747 --> 00:55:29,947
Speaker 2: a game in hand over Melbourne Victory. They've got a

1101
00:55:29,947 --> 00:55:32,187
Speaker 2: bit of a break actually now Auckland f C. Having

1102
00:55:32,307 --> 00:55:34,667
Speaker 2: drawn nil all with Victory on New Year's Day. The

1103
00:55:34,747 --> 00:55:39,227
Speaker 2: next match is next Saturday. It's the long trip to

1104
00:55:39,307 --> 00:55:42,787
Speaker 2: Perth for a match against Perth Glory on the night

1105
00:55:42,827 --> 00:55:46,267
Speaker 2: of Saturday January eleven. Next home game is the following

1106
00:55:46,307 --> 00:55:50,307
Speaker 2: Saturday at go Media Stadium, which has become their fortress.

1107
00:55:51,467 --> 00:55:54,427
Speaker 2: Apart from that little blip and that lost to Western United,

1108
00:55:54,627 --> 00:55:58,027
Speaker 2: they take on Auckland City. That's on the night or

1109
00:55:58,067 --> 00:56:01,267
Speaker 2: the late afternoon five o'clock of Saturday January eighteen. Man,

1110
00:56:01,307 --> 00:56:02,987
Speaker 2: that's going to be a busy all weekend at Auckland

1111
00:56:03,267 --> 00:56:06,147
Speaker 2: with Sale GP on at the same time. Looking forward

1112
00:56:06,147 --> 00:56:09,787
Speaker 2: to that, India are all out in their second innings.

1113
00:56:09,827 --> 00:56:12,787
Speaker 2: They are all out and have been dismissed in their

1114
00:56:12,827 --> 00:56:16,947
Speaker 2: second innings for one hundred and fifty seven. That leaves

1115
00:56:17,027 --> 00:56:20,107
Speaker 2: Australia one hundred and sixty two to win, one hundred

1116
00:56:20,147 --> 00:56:22,187
Speaker 2: and sixty two to win. Time is not a factor.

1117
00:56:22,227 --> 00:56:24,507
Speaker 2: This is only the third day, of course, of this

1118
00:56:24,587 --> 00:56:28,547
Speaker 2: Test match, so this will almost certainly finish today on

1119
00:56:28,587 --> 00:56:32,507
Speaker 2: the third day with Sam Constace and Osmond Kowaja going

1120
00:56:32,547 --> 00:56:38,187
Speaker 2: out to have a crack at that total. In India's innings,

1121
00:56:38,347 --> 00:56:43,147
Speaker 2: Scotti Boland sixteen point five overs, five maidens, six for

1122
00:56:43,147 --> 00:56:47,747
Speaker 2: forty five. That's to go with his four for thirty

1123
00:56:47,787 --> 00:56:51,907
Speaker 2: one in the first innings. What performance ten for seventy

1124
00:56:51,987 --> 00:56:55,907
Speaker 2: six in the match. And you look across the series

1125
00:56:56,667 --> 00:57:00,147
Speaker 2: and Scotti Boland has taken twenty one wickets and average

1126
00:57:00,147 --> 00:57:03,947
Speaker 2: of thirteen. Terrific from him for a guy who's had

1127
00:57:03,987 --> 00:57:05,907
Speaker 2: to wait and wait and wait behind the likes of

1128
00:57:05,907 --> 00:57:09,067
Speaker 2: Mitchell Stone, Josh hazel Ward and Pat Cummins, and rightly so,

1129
00:57:11,347 --> 00:57:13,907
Speaker 2: a wonderful story this. Scott Bowland didn't make his Test

1130
00:57:13,907 --> 00:57:18,547
Speaker 2: debut until he turned thirty two. Here he is ten

1131
00:57:18,587 --> 00:57:22,107
Speaker 2: wickets against India at the SCG and bowling his team

1132
00:57:22,147 --> 00:57:24,827
Speaker 2: into a very very good position down at the base

1133
00:57:24,867 --> 00:57:29,187
Speaker 2: of reserve updating you on Sri Lanka's first innings or

1134
00:57:29,267 --> 00:57:32,707
Speaker 2: only innings in this one day against New Zealand. Pretty

1135
00:57:32,747 --> 00:57:34,787
Speaker 2: slow going for them one hundred and nineteen for six

1136
00:57:34,907 --> 00:57:37,547
Speaker 2: through thirty overs, so I took under four runs and

1137
00:57:37,587 --> 00:57:42,067
Speaker 2: over big partnership for the fifth wicket has been broken.

1138
00:57:42,667 --> 00:57:45,027
Speaker 2: So Sri Lanka looking to build again and post a

1139
00:57:45,067 --> 00:57:48,627
Speaker 2: total of at least some competitiveness one hundred and nineteen

1140
00:57:48,667 --> 00:57:51,787
Speaker 2: for six through thirty of their fifty overs on a

1141
00:57:51,827 --> 00:57:54,507
Speaker 2: fairly chilly day down at the Basemin Reserve with a

1142
00:57:54,667 --> 00:57:58,147
Speaker 2: cold southerly not adding to the comfort. I'm sure of

1143
00:57:58,187 --> 00:58:02,307
Speaker 2: the Shri Lankan batsman. One twenty six. Let's get a breakway.

1144
00:58:02,347 --> 00:58:04,947
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll talk some darts. Incredible scenes

1145
00:58:05,267 --> 00:58:09,467
Speaker 2: at London's Alex Palace yesterday morning with seventeen year old

1146
00:58:09,547 --> 00:58:14,347
Speaker 2: Luke Littler becoming the youngest ever world champion. Ben Francis,

1147
00:58:14,347 --> 00:58:16,587
Speaker 2: our darts analyst, is going to put this into context

1148
00:58:16,667 --> 00:58:19,027
Speaker 2: for us when we come back here on Weekend Sport.

1149
00:58:19,187 --> 00:58:22,907
Speaker 1: The tough Questions off the turf Weekend Sport with Jason

1150
00:58:22,987 --> 00:58:26,907
Speaker 1: Pine and GJ. Gardnerholmes, New Zealand's most trusted home builder

1151
00:58:26,987 --> 00:58:27,507
Speaker 1: News dogs.

1152
00:58:28,947 --> 00:58:30,587
Speaker 2: It is one twenty nine. Can tell you from the

1153
00:58:30,667 --> 00:58:33,267
Speaker 2: SCG that Jasper Bomra has not taken the new ball,

1154
00:58:33,387 --> 00:58:36,187
Speaker 2: so it doesn't look as though he will take any

1155
00:58:36,267 --> 00:58:38,907
Speaker 2: part at the bowl increase for India as they try

1156
00:58:38,947 --> 00:58:41,827
Speaker 2: and restrict Australia to less than one hundred and sixty two.

1157
00:58:42,267 --> 00:58:44,627
Speaker 2: It is a massive blow for them. He is by

1158
00:58:44,747 --> 00:58:48,787
Speaker 2: far their most dangerous bowler. He will not bowl. By

1159
00:58:48,787 --> 00:58:51,427
Speaker 2: the looks of things in Australia's innings, they're fourteen without loss.

1160
00:58:51,427 --> 00:58:55,747
Speaker 2: Early Constance five and Kawaja four saw a ball fly

1161
00:58:55,867 --> 00:58:58,547
Speaker 2: away for four buyers as well, so not the start

1162
00:58:58,587 --> 00:59:02,267
Speaker 2: that India were after. Australia well on track to knock

1163
00:59:02,267 --> 00:59:04,587
Speaker 2: off the one hundred and sixty two runs to take

1164
00:59:04,667 --> 00:59:08,307
Speaker 2: a three to one series victory and confirm their place

1165
00:59:08,347 --> 00:59:12,547
Speaker 2: in the World Test Championship Final. Luke Littler is the

1166
00:59:12,627 --> 00:59:17,067
Speaker 2: youngest champion, youngest World Champion in Darce history.

1167
00:59:17,267 --> 00:59:20,467
Speaker 18: To realize his dream to achieve his destiny to.

1168
00:59:20,467 --> 00:59:24,347
Speaker 11: Be world champed, good.

1169
00:59:25,667 --> 00:59:35,427
Speaker 13: Spending, Tastes, gervation, special Channans Pezza greats La, col Vandel bloops,

1170
00:59:35,507 --> 00:59:40,707
Speaker 13: the new Cletum. The Teenager is Champion of the World.

1171
00:59:41,627 --> 00:59:43,147
Speaker 2: He is pizza them all.

1172
00:59:44,027 --> 00:59:48,627
Speaker 11: It's just seventeen to claim the biggest tras.

1173
00:59:48,667 --> 00:59:49,587
Speaker 13: In the sport.

1174
00:59:49,747 --> 00:59:52,667
Speaker 2: They're remarkable. The seventeen year old yesterday beat three time

1175
00:59:52,747 --> 00:59:56,307
Speaker 2: former world champion Michael van Gerwins seven leagues to three

1176
00:59:56,627 --> 01:00:00,147
Speaker 2: in the final at London's Alexandra Palace. He was runner

1177
01:00:00,227 --> 01:00:02,587
Speaker 2: up last year Luke Littler, but stepped up a level

1178
01:00:02,587 --> 01:00:04,747
Speaker 2: and this year's decide a racing to a four sets

1179
01:00:04,787 --> 01:00:07,587
Speaker 2: to nill lead in the final and never letting Michael

1180
01:00:07,667 --> 01:00:11,827
Speaker 2: Van gerwin get closer than three sets away. Let's bring

1181
01:00:11,867 --> 01:00:16,187
Speaker 2: in host of the Key Week Darts podcast, Ben Francis. Ben,

1182
01:00:16,347 --> 01:00:20,027
Speaker 2: can you somehow try to put into context for us

1183
01:00:20,107 --> 01:00:23,867
Speaker 2: just how remarkable this is a seventeen year old winning

1184
01:00:24,027 --> 01:00:26,267
Speaker 2: the World Darts Championship.

1185
01:00:27,147 --> 01:00:28,547
Speaker 19: Well, I think the only way you can reach some

1186
01:00:28,707 --> 01:00:30,507
Speaker 19: it up is just as yourself. What were you doing

1187
01:00:30,547 --> 01:00:32,787
Speaker 19: at seventeen and what was some of your achievements and

1188
01:00:32,827 --> 01:00:35,307
Speaker 19: I think will be something a world champion at your

1189
01:00:35,307 --> 01:00:38,387
Speaker 19: event and even making over a million million pounds, which

1190
01:00:38,387 --> 01:00:42,147
Speaker 19: are of course is the UK currency and prizemen. None

1191
01:00:42,187 --> 01:00:43,987
Speaker 19: of us would have done that, So that's kind of

1192
01:00:43,987 --> 01:00:47,227
Speaker 19: what it is. That the manner way that he is

1193
01:00:47,267 --> 01:00:49,747
Speaker 19: playing at seventeen years old. It's something that I don't

1194
01:00:49,787 --> 01:00:51,867
Speaker 19: think anyone's ever seen before. And you think it back

1195
01:00:51,867 --> 01:00:53,867
Speaker 19: to the like Sir Phil Taylor. Of course well before

1196
01:00:53,907 --> 01:00:57,187
Speaker 19: my time that people that know Phil Taylor, he wasn't

1197
01:00:57,227 --> 01:01:00,227
Speaker 19: punching in one hundred averages at seventeen years old, or

1198
01:01:00,227 --> 01:01:02,267
Speaker 19: he might have been, but not in World Championship final.

1199
01:01:02,307 --> 01:01:03,787
Speaker 19: And that's just how it sums it up. And you

1200
01:01:03,827 --> 01:01:06,267
Speaker 19: think this has been seventeen years old. You think Christ

1201
01:01:06,507 --> 01:01:08,187
Speaker 19: how much long was he going to keep this up

1202
01:01:08,187 --> 01:01:09,707
Speaker 19: for it? It's just simply sensational.

1203
01:01:10,067 --> 01:01:14,147
Speaker 2: It's his fearlessness and his confidence as well for me being,

1204
01:01:14,227 --> 01:01:18,067
Speaker 2: he was left at one point yesterday with a seventy finished.

1205
01:01:18,067 --> 01:01:19,787
Speaker 2: There are lots of ways to clean that up. He

1206
01:01:19,867 --> 01:01:22,147
Speaker 2: went bullseye double teen for goodness sake.

1207
01:01:23,187 --> 01:01:25,187
Speaker 19: Yeah, And that's kind of the stuff that we've seen

1208
01:01:25,227 --> 01:01:27,627
Speaker 19: him do before. We've seen him do finishes. There was

1209
01:01:27,667 --> 01:01:29,427
Speaker 19: one time we had one hundred and eleven left and

1210
01:01:29,427 --> 01:01:32,107
Speaker 19: he went bullseye eleven bullseye and that's just unheard of,

1211
01:01:32,147 --> 01:01:34,107
Speaker 19: you know, some of the way that he does things,

1212
01:01:34,147 --> 01:01:36,627
Speaker 19: the confidence he has, and there were times during that

1213
01:01:36,707 --> 01:01:40,267
Speaker 19: game we thought Michael van Gerwen was trying to match

1214
01:01:40,307 --> 01:01:41,267
Speaker 19: that and tried.

1215
01:01:42,627 --> 01:01:42,987
Speaker 17: Ways.

1216
01:01:42,987 --> 01:01:45,507
Speaker 19: He was trying to finish, finish it off his scores

1217
01:01:45,547 --> 01:01:47,387
Speaker 19: and it just wasn't working because there was his board

1218
01:01:47,467 --> 01:01:50,987
Speaker 19: management was off and that really cost him. And even

1219
01:01:51,027 --> 01:01:52,467
Speaker 19: just going back to that first leg when he had

1220
01:01:52,467 --> 01:01:54,787
Speaker 19: two hundred and five left, hit the one eighty. Probably

1221
01:01:54,787 --> 01:01:57,107
Speaker 19: did that a bit of confidence to show I'm in

1222
01:01:57,187 --> 01:01:58,787
Speaker 19: charge here, but that really came back to fight him

1223
01:01:58,787 --> 01:02:01,227
Speaker 19: because he couldn't even finish twenty five until attempts, which

1224
01:02:01,707 --> 01:02:04,187
Speaker 19: in a final, and especially someone of his caliber, he

1225
01:02:04,227 --> 01:02:06,147
Speaker 19: should be doing. But that was there was so many

1226
01:02:06,627 --> 01:02:09,747
Speaker 19: incidents sorry, where he was doing that in the final

1227
01:02:09,787 --> 01:02:11,507
Speaker 19: and it kind of just came back and bit him

1228
01:02:11,547 --> 01:02:13,987
Speaker 19: and the backside Luke Little just ran away with it

1229
01:02:14,027 --> 01:02:15,747
Speaker 19: and there was no coming back for Van Goirlin.

1230
01:02:15,947 --> 01:02:18,587
Speaker 2: Did you think he was rattled by let Laer And

1231
01:02:18,627 --> 01:02:20,667
Speaker 2: he's been around for a long time Van Gouin, as

1232
01:02:20,707 --> 01:02:23,947
Speaker 2: I say, three time former world champion, he wouldn't have

1233
01:02:23,947 --> 01:02:25,307
Speaker 2: been rattled, would he.

1234
01:02:26,267 --> 01:02:28,467
Speaker 3: I don't know if rattled was the right word.

1235
01:02:29,187 --> 01:02:30,987
Speaker 19: I just go back to his confidence on the board,

1236
01:02:31,027 --> 01:02:33,467
Speaker 19: and there's a saying in darts where they say triples

1237
01:02:33,467 --> 01:02:35,507
Speaker 19: for show doubles for do I know lots of other

1238
01:02:35,587 --> 01:02:39,067
Speaker 19: sports have very similar sayings that Van Girl was very

1239
01:02:39,067 --> 01:02:40,907
Speaker 19: good at heading the trebles at certain stages, but he

1240
01:02:40,987 --> 01:02:43,267
Speaker 19: just couldn't finish and that's what really let him down.

1241
01:02:43,307 --> 01:02:45,787
Speaker 19: And I think he was getting a bit frustrated by that.

1242
01:02:45,867 --> 01:02:48,987
Speaker 19: But just the composure of Luke Littler and even I

1243
01:02:48,987 --> 01:02:51,347
Speaker 19: remember meeting him at the yell And Darts Masters last

1244
01:02:51,387 --> 01:02:55,187
Speaker 19: year and just the calmness on his shoulders and it's

1245
01:02:55,227 --> 01:02:58,227
Speaker 19: just crazy. He's just a quiet kid from Warrington in

1246
01:02:58,267 --> 01:03:00,707
Speaker 19: the UK and it's just incredible what he's able to do.

1247
01:03:01,547 --> 01:03:03,907
Speaker 19: I really don't know what else the comparator. It's almost

1248
01:03:03,947 --> 01:03:06,507
Speaker 19: like a f You're maybe few pioneer say something like

1249
01:03:06,507 --> 01:03:08,267
Speaker 19: it would be like a messy or something like that.

1250
01:03:08,307 --> 01:03:10,627
Speaker 19: At seventeen years old, and he's just got the world

1251
01:03:10,667 --> 01:03:12,627
Speaker 19: in front of him. It's just crazy to think what

1252
01:03:12,667 --> 01:03:13,267
Speaker 19: he can achieve.

1253
01:03:13,467 --> 01:03:15,547
Speaker 2: You've joined us on weekends sport over the last two

1254
01:03:15,627 --> 01:03:18,827
Speaker 2: or three weekends as the World Championships have been playing out.

1255
01:03:19,147 --> 01:03:22,347
Speaker 2: You always liked the look of Luke. Did he at

1256
01:03:22,387 --> 01:03:25,827
Speaker 2: all look troubled to you throughout the tournament? I can't

1257
01:03:25,827 --> 01:03:28,787
Speaker 2: remember him being in any real trouble of elimination.

1258
01:03:29,747 --> 01:03:32,227
Speaker 19: I wouldn't say trouble, but there was this match against

1259
01:03:32,587 --> 01:03:35,907
Speaker 19: Ryan Joyce, who did push him a little bit, but

1260
01:03:35,907 --> 01:03:38,067
Speaker 19: that's because Maryan Joyce is one of the best finishes

1261
01:03:38,147 --> 01:03:40,947
Speaker 19: and darts and he was taking out some big shots

1262
01:03:40,947 --> 01:03:43,347
Speaker 19: and that was keeping him in touch, but was scoring

1263
01:03:43,387 --> 01:03:45,987
Speaker 19: throughout the entire tournament. I think he averaged one hundred

1264
01:03:45,987 --> 01:03:48,387
Speaker 19: and five across the whole tournament, which is roughly what

1265
01:03:48,427 --> 01:03:49,987
Speaker 19: he had in the final as well, and that just

1266
01:03:50,067 --> 01:03:53,147
Speaker 19: that little bit of extra scoring power just kept them

1267
01:03:53,227 --> 01:03:56,187
Speaker 19: enough in front. And then his ability to finish on

1268
01:03:56,267 --> 01:03:59,227
Speaker 19: his favorite doubles double ten, which he absolutely smashed every

1269
01:03:59,227 --> 01:04:01,147
Speaker 19: single time. He pretty much threw it at in the final,

1270
01:04:01,507 --> 01:04:03,227
Speaker 19: which is pretty much what got him over the line.

1271
01:04:03,427 --> 01:04:05,547
Speaker 19: And they say the triples the show doubles to go.

1272
01:04:06,827 --> 01:04:10,667
Speaker 2: Darts is a sport where age isn't really a barrier, right,

1273
01:04:10,707 --> 01:04:15,147
Speaker 2: I mean, having achieved this, it's seventeen, what could Luke

1274
01:04:15,187 --> 01:04:16,227
Speaker 2: Littler go on to do?

1275
01:04:17,747 --> 01:04:17,907
Speaker 3: Well?

1276
01:04:17,907 --> 01:04:19,867
Speaker 19: That's the crazy thing, isn't it. You think you think

1277
01:04:19,867 --> 01:04:22,507
Speaker 19: of Phil Taylor and all his world titles that he won,

1278
01:04:22,587 --> 01:04:24,747
Speaker 19: and you think, at seventeen years old, he'd definitely give

1279
01:04:24,747 --> 01:04:26,547
Speaker 19: it a good run for his money. But at the

1280
01:04:26,587 --> 01:04:28,667
Speaker 19: same time, there's a lot of money in the sport now,

1281
01:04:28,707 --> 01:04:30,707
Speaker 19: and like a lot of sports, it's only getting bigger

1282
01:04:30,707 --> 01:04:33,347
Speaker 19: and bigger. And you might think for someone like Lout,

1283
01:04:33,347 --> 01:04:35,027
Speaker 19: he might only want to do this the tenth fifteen.

1284
01:04:35,107 --> 01:04:36,747
Speaker 19: You who knows, and he might think, you know what,

1285
01:04:37,107 --> 01:04:39,907
Speaker 19: that's enough. But I'm done. You think, surely, if if

1286
01:04:39,907 --> 01:04:42,227
Speaker 19: you've got all those heady ahead of you, you're going

1287
01:04:42,267 --> 01:04:43,787
Speaker 19: to think, surely I'm going to go for it. Surely

1288
01:04:43,787 --> 01:04:45,987
Speaker 19: you're going to go break the record, which most people

1289
01:04:46,267 --> 01:04:49,307
Speaker 19: in sport would say is unbreakable. Seventeen world titles is

1290
01:04:49,307 --> 01:04:51,707
Speaker 19: just simply sensational. But he can definitely give it a

1291
01:04:51,707 --> 01:04:53,787
Speaker 19: good run for his money. But he wants to give

1292
01:04:53,787 --> 01:04:55,667
Speaker 19: it a just work at it slowly. He just wants

1293
01:04:55,707 --> 01:04:58,907
Speaker 19: to win. He won ten titles across his first season

1294
01:04:58,947 --> 01:05:00,427
Speaker 19: as a professional, and he just wants to win more

1295
01:05:00,467 --> 01:05:02,347
Speaker 19: than that. And no doubt we're going to see him

1296
01:05:02,347 --> 01:05:04,307
Speaker 19: come to Walkland. That will be next year as well,

1297
01:05:04,347 --> 01:05:05,587
Speaker 19: and I have no doubt he I want to give

1298
01:05:05,587 --> 01:05:06,947
Speaker 19: that title a good well.

1299
01:05:07,187 --> 01:05:08,827
Speaker 2: I look forward to seeing him closer to home. A

1300
01:05:08,827 --> 01:05:11,747
Speaker 2: couple of other storylines from the World Champs, Stephen Bunting

1301
01:05:12,027 --> 01:05:14,267
Speaker 2: through to the semi finals where he was beaten by

1302
01:05:14,347 --> 01:05:17,227
Speaker 2: Luke Humphries. But he seems to have gained a fair

1303
01:05:17,427 --> 01:05:18,827
Speaker 2: degree of popularity as well.

1304
01:05:18,867 --> 01:05:22,987
Speaker 19: Stephen Bunting, Yeah, his story has been quite remarkable because

1305
01:05:23,027 --> 01:05:25,027
Speaker 19: even going back a decade ago, he was here for

1306
01:05:25,067 --> 01:05:28,507
Speaker 19: the inaugural Are New Zealand Arts Masters in Auckland and

1307
01:05:28,707 --> 01:05:30,227
Speaker 19: he was one of the top players. Then he felt

1308
01:05:30,267 --> 01:05:33,907
Speaker 19: away a little bit and if you go back and

1309
01:05:33,947 --> 01:05:35,587
Speaker 19: look look at some of the things in his past,

1310
01:05:36,187 --> 01:05:37,827
Speaker 19: lots of people say he used to look like Peter

1311
01:05:37,907 --> 01:05:40,227
Speaker 19: Griffin's family guy, and it was something that he kind

1312
01:05:40,227 --> 01:05:42,107
Speaker 19: of played along with it, but as well, but then

1313
01:05:42,147 --> 01:05:43,947
Speaker 19: he's kind of gotten that older. I think he's had

1314
01:05:43,987 --> 01:05:45,267
Speaker 19: a couple of kids now and he's kind of thing

1315
01:05:45,347 --> 01:05:47,947
Speaker 19: I would be a bit more professional about this, and yeah,

1316
01:05:48,107 --> 01:05:49,547
Speaker 19: I think like a lot of players will go through

1317
01:05:49,547 --> 01:05:51,467
Speaker 19: the ups and downs, and he's really put down that

1318
01:05:51,547 --> 01:05:53,867
Speaker 19: momentum now and he's definitely been one of the informant

1319
01:05:53,867 --> 01:05:56,627
Speaker 19: players of the last year. And there's a Premier League

1320
01:05:56,627 --> 01:05:58,987
Speaker 19: announcement which is usually the eight best players in the

1321
01:05:59,027 --> 01:06:01,147
Speaker 19: world coming up early next week, and I would say

1322
01:06:01,187 --> 01:06:02,627
Speaker 19: he's definitely going to be in the running for that

1323
01:06:02,707 --> 01:06:04,427
Speaker 19: based on how he's been in the last year.

1324
01:06:04,707 --> 01:06:06,747
Speaker 2: And look, humphreyes I couldn't go back to back, got

1325
01:06:06,787 --> 01:06:09,987
Speaker 2: nowhere near it, actually knocked out by Peter right in

1326
01:06:09,987 --> 01:06:12,627
Speaker 2: the fourth round. Look, Humphrey's though too good a player

1327
01:06:12,787 --> 01:06:15,747
Speaker 2: to not come again. Oh no doubt.

1328
01:06:15,867 --> 01:06:18,667
Speaker 19: Low Humphries is incredibly talented, and I think in that

1329
01:06:18,827 --> 01:06:22,387
Speaker 19: game against Peter Wright, Peter Wright literally hit every double

1330
01:06:22,547 --> 01:06:24,627
Speaker 19: he threw ass and it was remarkable. It was one

1331
01:06:24,627 --> 01:06:26,907
Speaker 19: of those performances where you think, man, even if he

1332
01:06:26,947 --> 01:06:28,747
Speaker 19: was plain of Luke Letler, the way he was hitting

1333
01:06:28,747 --> 01:06:31,507
Speaker 19: the doubles, Luke Letler might have even struggled against Peter Wright.

1334
01:06:31,507 --> 01:06:33,547
Speaker 19: He was just heading everything that was coming his way.

1335
01:06:33,907 --> 01:06:35,987
Speaker 19: Then you saw in the next round he was struggling

1336
01:06:36,027 --> 01:06:38,347
Speaker 19: to anything, and that's what happens in sports sometimes. But

1337
01:06:38,787 --> 01:06:40,747
Speaker 19: I have no doubt Luke Countries will bounce back. He's

1338
01:06:40,747 --> 01:06:43,427
Speaker 19: got a decent lead at top of the rankings, so

1339
01:06:43,467 --> 01:06:45,227
Speaker 19: he's going to be holding number one for a while.

1340
01:06:45,267 --> 01:06:47,867
Speaker 19: But heading into the back end of next year and

1341
01:06:47,867 --> 01:06:50,027
Speaker 19: he's going to be defending a lot of money, then

1342
01:06:50,307 --> 01:06:51,947
Speaker 19: he might drop down a little bit. But I have

1343
01:06:52,027 --> 01:06:53,867
Speaker 19: no doubt he'll come back and he's definitely a guy

1344
01:06:53,907 --> 01:06:55,747
Speaker 19: that you would expect one at least a couple more

1345
01:06:55,747 --> 01:06:56,387
Speaker 19: world titles.

1346
01:06:56,707 --> 01:06:58,747
Speaker 2: Great to get your analysis, Ben, Thanks for joining us

1347
01:06:58,747 --> 01:07:00,987
Speaker 2: over the last two or three weeks and again today

1348
01:07:01,267 --> 01:07:04,067
Speaker 2: we look forward to seeing what Lukeltler might go on

1349
01:07:04,107 --> 01:07:06,627
Speaker 2: to do. Thanks for your time today is Bunny. Thanks

1350
01:07:06,627 --> 01:07:09,467
Speaker 2: being Ben Francis, their host of the Kiwi Darts podcast

1351
01:07:09,867 --> 01:07:13,227
Speaker 2: and a really good contributor for us over the last

1352
01:07:13,267 --> 01:07:15,947
Speaker 2: two three weeks as the World Darts Championship has been

1353
01:07:16,387 --> 01:07:20,307
Speaker 2: going on in London. Luke Littler world champion. Who knows

1354
01:07:20,627 --> 01:07:22,587
Speaker 2: what he might go on to achieve? What had Ben say,

1355
01:07:22,587 --> 01:07:26,747
Speaker 2: there's seventeen world titles for Phil Taylor. Well, I guess

1356
01:07:27,147 --> 01:07:31,267
Speaker 2: you'd have to think it's possible. It seems unachievable, doesn't it.

1357
01:07:31,267 --> 01:07:33,547
Speaker 2: But when you win your first one at seventeen and

1358
01:07:33,627 --> 01:07:35,627
Speaker 2: a sport that doesn't really have age as a barrier,

1359
01:07:35,747 --> 01:07:39,947
Speaker 2: who knows what Luke Littler might achieve. Twenty two to

1360
01:07:40,067 --> 01:07:42,787
Speaker 2: two updating you on Live Sport at the Basemin Reserve.

1361
01:07:42,867 --> 01:07:46,387
Speaker 2: It's Sri Lanka trying to build a competitive total against

1362
01:07:46,387 --> 01:07:49,067
Speaker 2: New Zealand in this first one day, one hundred and

1363
01:07:49,067 --> 01:07:50,907
Speaker 2: thirty for six. They are in the thirty third over,

1364
01:07:50,947 --> 01:07:54,027
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty for six, now one thirty six

1365
01:07:54,107 --> 01:07:57,107
Speaker 2: for six as I speak, in the thirty third over,

1366
01:07:57,187 --> 01:07:59,947
Speaker 2: So I guess on target for something around the two

1367
01:07:59,987 --> 01:08:02,467
Speaker 2: twenty two to thirty mark if they can get going

1368
01:08:02,507 --> 01:08:05,347
Speaker 2: a little bit only or six down only four wickets

1369
01:08:05,387 --> 01:08:07,067
Speaker 2: in hand, so that might be bit of a barrier

1370
01:08:07,107 --> 01:08:09,067
Speaker 2: for them. But we'll keep eyes on the base in

1371
01:08:09,147 --> 01:08:11,827
Speaker 2: reserve for you, as we will on the Sydney Cricket

1372

Speaker 2: Ground where Australia have made a rollicking start in their

1373
01:08:16,587 --> 01:08:20,027
Speaker 2: chase for one hundred and sixty two to beat India.

1374
01:08:20,067 --> 01:08:23,987
Speaker 2: After three overs they're thirty five without loss, largely down

1375
01:08:24,027 --> 01:08:30,227
Speaker 2: to this precocious teenaged opener Sam Constance, who's eighteen not

1376

Speaker 2: out of twelve balls, they already found the boundary three times,

1377
01:08:33,587 --> 01:08:36,627
Speaker 2: so he is clearly in a bit of a hurry,

1378
01:08:36,827 --> 01:08:38,987
Speaker 2: Sam Constance, as he looks to try and win this

1379
01:08:39,307 --> 01:08:42,227

01:09:03,307 --> 01:09:05,387
Speaker 2: of our Sunday afternoons the last couple of years has

Speaker 2: been James McCay. It around about this time. Good to

01:09:17,067 --> 01:09:21,067
Speaker 20: Yeah, great, great negotiations. Thanks Pony. My people and your

1393
01:09:21,067 --> 01:09:25,947
Speaker 20: people obviously agreed terms. And I'm back baby. I mean,

1394
01:09:26,027 --> 01:09:29,067
Speaker 20: I was down in path here I'm looking at the

1395
01:09:29,067 --> 01:09:31,147
Speaker 20: Great White sharks, but I thought, no, I can do

1396
01:09:31,187 --> 01:09:31,667
Speaker 20: this for you.

1397
01:09:32,387 --> 01:09:34,267
Speaker 2: Well, it's great to have you with us for twenty

1398
01:09:34,267 --> 01:09:37,467
Speaker 2: twenty five. Who knows what the year might hold. In fact,

1399
01:09:37,507 --> 01:09:39,147
Speaker 2: want to talk about what the year might hold with

1400
01:09:39,187 --> 01:09:41,347
Speaker 2: you in a moment, But what the years holding at

1401
01:09:41,347 --> 01:09:43,747
Speaker 2: the moment is a fairly cold base in the reserve

1402
01:09:43,787 --> 01:09:46,427
Speaker 2: where Srilanka are making fairly heavy going of it. One

1403
01:09:46,547 --> 01:09:49,227
Speaker 2: forty two for six and the thirty fourth. That's not

1404
01:09:49,267 --> 01:09:51,427
Speaker 2: even really a very good total in T twenty is

1405
01:09:51,427 --> 01:09:53,267
Speaker 2: it let alone fifty others.

1406
01:09:53,667 --> 01:09:56,147
Speaker 20: I don't think I've seen this many puffer jackets at

1407
01:09:56,227 --> 01:10:02,427
Speaker 20: a at a January book kick game. So that's a

1408
01:10:02,467 --> 01:10:04,867
Speaker 20: world record maybe when you get get us out there

1409
01:10:05,267 --> 01:10:08,747
Speaker 20: to test. But I was really looking forward to watching

1410
01:10:09,027 --> 01:10:14,347
Speaker 20: com indumendous. Now he's the guy who averages seventy four

1411
01:10:14,387 --> 01:10:17,387
Speaker 20: in tests. He's just raced up to I think five

1412
01:10:17,467 --> 01:10:20,707
Speaker 20: centuries already in test matches and he got run out

1413
01:10:20,747 --> 01:10:24,347
Speaker 20: for three. So and also the one thing about that

1414
01:10:24,547 --> 01:10:26,787
Speaker 20: is you wouldn't even know he's in the country. Now,

1415
01:10:26,947 --> 01:10:29,627
Speaker 20: I feel like that cricket does lack a little bit

1416
01:10:29,667 --> 01:10:31,707
Speaker 20: of hype. And forgive me, you may have interviewed him

1417
01:10:31,707 --> 01:10:35,067
Speaker 20: earlier in the show Piny, but you know, you know,

1418
01:10:35,147 --> 01:10:38,747
Speaker 20: a batsman who's that talented coming to New Zealand would

1419
01:10:38,787 --> 01:10:40,867
Speaker 20: usually create a bit more of a stare. I think

1420
01:10:41,227 --> 01:10:41,467
Speaker 20: you know.

1421
01:10:41,507 --> 01:10:44,227
Speaker 2: You're right. I haven't interviewed him. No, you're right. I

1422
01:10:44,227 --> 01:10:46,987
Speaker 2: think probably apart from those who follow the game as

1423
01:10:46,987 --> 01:10:49,267
Speaker 2: deeply as you and maybe you know the Sri Lankan

1424
01:10:49,587 --> 01:10:51,467
Speaker 2: nationals who live now in New Zealand, you're right. I'm

1425
01:10:51,507 --> 01:10:53,307
Speaker 2: not sure that there would be a great degree of

1426
01:10:53,747 --> 01:10:57,387
Speaker 2: knowledge around about him as far as New Zealander concerned.

1427
01:10:57,467 --> 01:10:58,907
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but in the t twenties,

1428
01:10:58,947 --> 01:11:01,427
Speaker 2: I just loved seeing some new guys out there, and

1429
01:11:01,467 --> 01:11:05,107
Speaker 2: it's flowed into this as well, you know, Mitch Hayzach folks,

1430
01:11:05,627 --> 01:11:08,667
Speaker 2: you know Tim Robinson's out there. I'm just really enjoying

1431
01:11:08,707 --> 01:11:11,147
Speaker 2: the freshness of our white ball side.

1432
01:11:11,867 --> 01:11:16,907
Speaker 20: I know, Tim Robinson's an interesting one and he's a big, muscular, hunting,

1433
01:11:16,987 --> 01:11:22,627
Speaker 20: fishing batsman who loves to throw himself around. And I mean, look,

1434
01:11:22,827 --> 01:11:25,947
Speaker 20: I think we needed to see that new talent come through.

1435
01:11:26,107 --> 01:11:29,227
Speaker 20: And Duffy as well, just showing that he can do

1436
01:11:29,267 --> 01:11:32,907
Speaker 20: things with the ball. Seems like he could be you know,

1437
01:11:32,987 --> 01:11:36,027
Speaker 20: a Test bowler eventually as well. I mean that's a

1438
01:11:36,067 --> 01:11:39,747
Speaker 20: good thing about it. Mitch Hay as a keeper looks

1439
01:11:39,827 --> 01:11:43,187
Speaker 20: really tidy, so you know that the signs are good.

1440
01:11:43,227 --> 01:11:46,267
Speaker 20: It's just that the summer really it's going see the

1441
01:11:46,307 --> 01:11:49,467
Speaker 20: Black Cats now, because I think the next time they

1442
01:11:49,547 --> 01:11:52,227
Speaker 20: head off to Pakistan and then we turn in March

1443
01:11:52,307 --> 01:11:55,787
Speaker 20: to play a big old series against Pakistan. But the

1444
01:11:55,947 --> 01:11:58,627
Speaker 20: international cricket is about to disappear after this week.

1445
01:11:58,947 --> 01:12:01,587
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. It's a shame because we always love,

1446
01:12:01,987 --> 01:12:04,347
Speaker 2: you know, watching certainly what I do, like what you've

1447
01:12:04,387 --> 01:12:07,787
Speaker 2: read ball International cricket in January, in February, even into

1448
01:12:07,787 --> 01:12:09,387
Speaker 2: March and April, and that's just not going to happen

1449
01:12:09,427 --> 01:12:11,987
Speaker 2: unfortunately this year. But look, I am, as I say,

1450
01:12:12,067 --> 01:12:15,827
Speaker 2: enjoying the freshness of the of the lineups that are

1451
01:12:15,867 --> 01:12:20,867
Speaker 2: out there, with Mitchell Santna captaining the team. Obviously other

1452
01:12:20,907 --> 01:12:24,227
Speaker 2: matters around tennis. Naomi Osaka is in the final at

1453
01:12:24,227 --> 01:12:26,947
Speaker 2: the ASP Classic later on this afternoon. Good to see

1454
01:12:26,947 --> 01:12:29,507
Speaker 2: her living up to her pre tournament billing.

1455
01:12:30,787 --> 01:12:33,947
Speaker 20: Yes, indeed, And I mean, look, I think Naomi Osaka.

1456
01:12:34,107 --> 01:12:40,347
Speaker 20: Tennis really needs her. She is an outstanding talent. Four

1457
01:12:40,387 --> 01:12:45,427
Speaker 20: Grand Slam singles titles. She is legit a potential number one.

1458
01:12:45,747 --> 01:12:48,747
Speaker 20: And now when you look at the tennis landscape and

1459
01:12:49,267 --> 01:12:52,467
Speaker 20: all the players and the big names they've lost, and

1460
01:12:52,547 --> 01:12:55,107
Speaker 20: even with the drug scandals as well in the men's game,

1461
01:12:56,267 --> 01:12:59,987
Speaker 20: tennis needs Naomi Osaka. The top three at the moment,

1462
01:13:00,467 --> 01:13:05,547
Speaker 20: I think we've got Saberlenka from Belarus, Samita Tek from Poland,

1463
01:13:05,987 --> 01:13:08,627
Speaker 20: Coco Golf from USA. He was young. She's only won

1464
01:13:08,707 --> 01:13:14,187
Speaker 20: one Grand Slam, but you could easily say that playing

1465
01:13:14,227 --> 01:13:17,427
Speaker 20: at it her full potential or Sarka should be right

1466
01:13:17,507 --> 01:13:20,667
Speaker 20: up there, perhaps at number one. She took time off

1467
01:13:20,707 --> 01:13:23,147
Speaker 20: ever at a baby of course, so you know she's

1468
01:13:23,827 --> 01:13:25,467
Speaker 20: been using indeed.

1469
01:13:25,507 --> 01:13:26,947
Speaker 2: But yeah, i'd great to say her back out there

1470
01:13:26,987 --> 01:13:29,307
Speaker 2: and hopefully she can continue to climb. I think fifty

1471
01:13:29,307 --> 01:13:31,467
Speaker 2: seventh in the world at the moment, but yeah, a

1472
01:13:31,467 --> 01:13:33,827
Speaker 2: good showing at the Aussie Open and she'll start to

1473
01:13:33,867 --> 01:13:36,707
Speaker 2: climb up the rankings. Again, speaking of climbing up and

1474
01:13:36,747 --> 01:13:40,107
Speaker 2: staying up there, Nottingham Forest are still fit in the

1475
01:13:40,147 --> 01:13:40,947
Speaker 2: Premier League.

1476
01:13:41,827 --> 01:13:44,587
Speaker 20: Look, I can't believe this because you know, I was

1477
01:13:44,627 --> 01:13:46,947
Speaker 20: watching the part of the Man's City game when they

1478
01:13:46,987 --> 01:13:50,027
Speaker 20: beat west Ham this morning and the commentators have pretty

1479
01:13:50,067 --> 01:13:52,187
Speaker 20: much written off man City, just saying, look, they'll be

1480
01:13:52,227 --> 01:13:54,027
Speaker 20: aiming for top four, that's all the best they can

1481
01:13:54,067 --> 01:13:56,347
Speaker 20: hope for. And then I sort of when they had

1482
01:13:56,347 --> 01:13:57,947
Speaker 20: a look at the table, I thought, yeah, there's only

1483
01:13:57,947 --> 01:14:03,707
Speaker 20: two teams that can challenge Liverpool at the moment, and

1484
01:14:03,867 --> 01:14:06,627
Speaker 20: one of them is Arsenal on the other is Notingham Mars.

1485
01:14:06,787 --> 01:14:09,347
Speaker 20: Because they've got a game in hand and if they

1486
01:14:09,347 --> 01:14:11,267
Speaker 20: win again and you know, they go up to level

1487
01:14:11,307 --> 01:14:16,307
Speaker 20: with Arsenal, which is crazy to think, and also with

1488
01:14:16,507 --> 01:14:19,987
Speaker 20: Chris Wood at the forefront of everything they do and

1489
01:14:20,147 --> 01:14:24,427
Speaker 20: right up there on the goalscorers list on the charts.

1490
01:14:24,467 --> 01:14:27,907
Speaker 20: This is I don't think I've ever seen a key

1491
01:14:27,987 --> 01:14:32,187
Speaker 20: player so influential in a top foreign league like that.

1492
01:14:32,227 --> 01:14:33,347
Speaker 20: It's just unbelievable.

1493
01:14:33,467 --> 01:14:35,827
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it hasn't happened. I can't. I

1494
01:14:35,867 --> 01:14:40,387
Speaker 2: think it's unprecedented. It can't remember it happening. Wolves are

1495
01:14:40,427 --> 01:14:44,227
Speaker 2: their next opposition. They go to Wolves tomorrow morning and

1496
01:14:44,307 --> 01:14:47,787
Speaker 2: then I believe they welcome Liverpool next. I mean, this

1497
01:14:47,867 --> 01:14:50,067
Speaker 2: is just brought in for Chris Wood and at the

1498
01:14:50,067 --> 01:14:52,587
Speaker 2: start of a year where hopefully he'll also god New

1499
01:14:52,667 --> 01:14:55,107
Speaker 2: Zealand to the World Cup when they have their final

1500
01:14:55,347 --> 01:14:59,187
Speaker 2: couple of World Cup qualifiers in March. Speaking of looking

1501
01:14:59,187 --> 01:15:02,867
Speaker 2: ahead twenty twenty five, I know you like to, you know,

1502
01:15:03,027 --> 01:15:05,667
Speaker 2: suss out the latest rugby talent at the start of

1503
01:15:05,667 --> 01:15:09,387
Speaker 2: any a year. Last year, I remember very well you're

1504
01:15:09,387 --> 01:15:11,907
Speaker 2: telling me about Wallace a Titi and I said who,

1505
01:15:12,587 --> 01:15:14,787
Speaker 2: and you were right? So who's the name to look

1506
01:15:14,827 --> 01:15:15,627
Speaker 2: out for this year?

1507
01:15:16,467 --> 01:15:18,827
Speaker 20: I've actually most of these names people would have heard

1508
01:15:18,867 --> 01:15:21,787
Speaker 20: of because they kind of made a splash twenty four

1509
01:15:21,867 --> 01:15:23,587
Speaker 20: so I haven't got a Sa Titi out my sleeve

1510
01:15:24,387 --> 01:15:27,467
Speaker 20: at the moment, but in sevens I sort of feel

1511
01:15:27,507 --> 01:15:31,747
Speaker 20: like Georgia Miller and Oli Mathis are going to be unbelievable.

1512
01:15:31,827 --> 01:15:35,227
Speaker 20: And Georgia wherever she plays, I think, and Oli if

1513
01:15:35,227 --> 01:15:38,107
Speaker 20: he gets a chance at fifteens, but definitely Georgia should

1514
01:15:38,107 --> 01:15:42,627
Speaker 20: be able to dabble them both. She just looks like

1515
01:15:42,867 --> 01:15:45,387
Speaker 20: it's it's going to be. Well, she's a superstar in

1516
01:15:45,427 --> 01:15:48,787
Speaker 20: the making. But if you're a if you're Highlanders fan,

1517
01:15:49,707 --> 01:15:53,187
Speaker 20: Fabian Holland the big Dutch Awm Locke, I think is

1518
01:15:53,347 --> 01:15:56,827
Speaker 20: going to make great strides. And I mean everybody went

1519
01:15:56,867 --> 01:16:00,547
Speaker 20: into all that training raved about him. Even you would

1520
01:16:00,627 --> 01:16:04,107
Speaker 20: like the look of someone who looks like your brother Piney.

1521
01:16:04,547 --> 01:16:06,427
Speaker 2: Certainly heightwise, I think he's got a bit more in

1522
01:16:06,507 --> 01:16:10,307
Speaker 2: terms of muscle, but yeah, I mean big lockforwards. I

1523
01:16:10,347 --> 01:16:13,907
Speaker 2: know that Jason Ryan was a huge fan of passili

1524
01:16:13,947 --> 01:16:16,347
Speaker 2: O Toossi when he first saw them the Big Hurricanes

1525
01:16:16,387 --> 01:16:19,667
Speaker 2: prop he loved him. What did Scott Robinson say? It

1526
01:16:19,707 --> 01:16:21,867
Speaker 2: was some sort of love story that he talked about.

1527
01:16:22,027 --> 01:16:24,147
Speaker 2: I get the feeling Jason Ryan and feel the same

1528
01:16:24,187 --> 01:16:27,387
Speaker 2: way about Fabian holland the big the big hunk of

1529
01:16:27,467 --> 01:16:28,267
Speaker 2: Highlanders lock.

1530
01:16:29,307 --> 01:16:32,187
Speaker 20: So look, I mean the Crusaders. I've already sort of

1531
01:16:32,987 --> 01:16:35,947
Speaker 20: harped on about Schaffee hockey before and Noah them. So

1532
01:16:36,067 --> 01:16:38,787
Speaker 20: let's go to your team, the Hurricane, so I think

1533
01:16:39,067 --> 01:16:43,027
Speaker 20: will dominate along with the Blues and Super Rugby. And

1534
01:16:43,027 --> 01:16:46,907
Speaker 20: there's just seeing Cam Royguard on that end of Yew

1535
01:16:46,947 --> 01:16:50,227
Speaker 20: tour if he can play an injured through and whoever

1536
01:16:50,267 --> 01:16:54,867
Speaker 20: plays ten outside. And I think the nineteen twelve combination

1537
01:16:55,547 --> 01:17:00,867
Speaker 20: with roy Gard's Terry Godfrey amazing, Ruben Love incredible and

1538
01:17:00,907 --> 01:17:04,507
Speaker 20: then Riley Higgins outside them, I think that combination could

1539
01:17:04,507 --> 01:17:06,387
Speaker 20: be amazing.

1540
01:17:05,947 --> 01:17:06,187
Speaker 15: To what.

1541
01:17:07,787 --> 01:17:12,107
Speaker 20: Just propped her as well Billy out there, So look,

1542
01:17:12,147 --> 01:17:15,387
Speaker 20: I mean that that's something with the duplask easy as well.

1543
01:17:15,827 --> 01:17:17,827
Speaker 20: But the way he finished that year because he had

1544
01:17:17,867 --> 01:17:21,627
Speaker 20: injury troubles as well and was a leap frog, wasn't he?

1545
01:17:21,667 --> 01:17:24,507
Speaker 20: By Peter Larkey. I just think those guys and that

1546
01:17:24,707 --> 01:17:28,427
Speaker 20: Hurricanes team have got something special. So it's good news

1547
01:17:28,467 --> 01:17:29,147
Speaker 20: for you Piney.

1548
01:17:29,467 --> 01:17:31,707
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking forward to that. Yeah, And what about further

1549
01:17:31,787 --> 01:17:34,747
Speaker 2: up up your way? And then on to the defending champions.

1550
01:17:35,427 --> 01:17:39,587
Speaker 20: Yes, Malicho Rampling is probably a second to Tit if

1551
01:17:39,587 --> 01:17:42,547
Speaker 20: you will. He's a loose forward who can run with

1552
01:17:42,587 --> 01:17:47,307
Speaker 20: the ball. He's got great footwork, he's really silky skills

1553
01:17:47,347 --> 01:17:50,827
Speaker 20: and was a star for the under twenty so he

1554
01:17:51,027 --> 01:17:53,267
Speaker 20: was looking good in Japan last during the preseason. So

1555
01:17:54,387 --> 01:17:56,747
Speaker 20: if he can get some minutes Malicho Rampling for the

1556
01:17:56,827 --> 01:18:00,027
Speaker 20: Chiefs and then up for the Blues. I'm hearing good

1557
01:18:00,067 --> 01:18:04,027
Speaker 20: things about Shay Clark, who will play You remember him

1558
01:18:04,027 --> 01:18:09,107
Speaker 20: from the All Black Sevens, and he'll play blindside flanker.

1559
01:18:09,107 --> 01:18:12,747
Speaker 20: I think tall. It's hard to tell these Sevens players.

1560
01:18:12,747 --> 01:18:15,427
Speaker 20: You can't actually tell me hype until they sidle up

1561
01:18:15,427 --> 01:18:19,267
Speaker 20: beside someone else in the fifteens game. And he's tall,

1562
01:18:19,307 --> 01:18:22,187
Speaker 20: he's fast, So yeah, have a lookout for Shay Clark.

1563
01:18:22,667 --> 01:18:24,987
Speaker 2: I've written all of this down and so a year

1594
01:20:00,227 --> 01:20:03,387
Speaker 2: calendar year. But most of them are kind of in

1595
01:20:03,427 --> 01:20:04,987
Speaker 2: the bin, aren't they by the end of the month.

1596
01:20:05,267 --> 01:20:08,867
Speaker 2: How can you make resolutions that you will keep in

1597
01:20:08,907 --> 01:20:11,827
Speaker 2: a sporting sense? Wayne Goldsmith at Coaching Guru going to

1598
01:20:11,867 --> 01:20:14,627
Speaker 2: talk to us about that. And doctor Inniotromatty made a

1599
01:20:14,627 --> 01:20:17,547
Speaker 2: resolution at the start of last year to run an

1600
01:20:17,667 --> 01:20:21,027
Speaker 2: ultra marathon in all seven continents and he did it.

1601
01:20:21,867 --> 01:20:26,747

01:20:45,747 --> 01:20:48,067
Speaker 2: can let that happen though, a bit of sport to

1608
01:20:48,107 --> 01:20:51,347
Speaker 2: talk between now and three o'clock. An Auckland City Hospital

1609
01:20:51,427 --> 01:20:55,747
Speaker 2: doctor by the name of any Auromatty has achieved a

1610
01:20:55,867 --> 01:21:01,347
Speaker 2: quite remarkable feat completing a self supported ultra marathon on

1611
01:21:01,547 --> 01:21:05,507
Speaker 2: all seven continents inside a calendar year. In fact, he

1612
01:21:05,547 --> 01:21:09,347
Speaker 2: did eight of them on seven continents. Incredible and not

1613
01:21:09,467 --> 01:21:14,987
Speaker 2: tramrathon is two hundred and fifty k that's crazy eight

1614
01:21:15,147 --> 01:21:17,947
Speaker 2: in a year. Normally I think it takes about two

1615
01:21:18,027 --> 01:21:21,467
Speaker 2: or three months to recover from doing one. So why

1616
01:21:21,667 --> 01:21:24,267
Speaker 2: and how did he do it? Dr Nyoldo Matti with

1617
01:21:24,347 --> 01:21:27,467
Speaker 2: us this hour early January. Also the time you make

1618

01:21:31,267 --> 01:21:34,987

1620
01:21:35,027 --> 01:21:37,227
Speaker 2: in guru, Wayne Goldsmith has got a few tips for

1621
01:21:37,907 --> 01:21:41,547
Speaker 2: grassroots coaches and maybe elite coaches too, or anybody really

1622
01:21:41,547 --> 01:21:44,907
Speaker 2: who wants to set their resolutions for twenty twenty five

1623
01:21:44,947 --> 01:21:48,507
Speaker 2: and importantly keep them. He's along shortly a bit of

1624
01:21:48,507 --> 01:21:51,107
Speaker 2: a wrap of yesterday's Wellington Phoenix women's game. They're doing well.

1625
01:21:51,267 --> 01:21:54,627
Speaker 2: Another win yesterday for them at at pottydo it. We'll

1626
01:21:54,707 --> 01:21:56,987
Speaker 2: keep eyes on the two games of cricket that are

1627
01:21:56,987 --> 01:22:00,347
Speaker 2: happening either side of the Tasman The eighth Sri Lankan.

1628
01:22:00,387 --> 01:22:03,307
Speaker 2: Wicked has fallen one seventy five for eight in the

1629
01:22:03,467 --> 01:22:06,707
Speaker 2: fortieth over Sri Lanka, so they're kind of stuck, umbling

1630
01:22:06,747 --> 01:22:08,707
Speaker 2: their way towards I guess what they hope will be

1631
01:22:08,747 --> 01:22:12,307
Speaker 2: somewhere close to two hundred, one hundred and seventy five

1632
01:22:12,627 --> 01:22:16,187
Speaker 2: for eight. Matt Henry three for seventeen in eight point

1633
01:22:16,227 --> 01:22:18,507
Speaker 2: three overs, terrific. Nathan Smith's got a couple of wickets,

1634
01:22:18,547 --> 01:22:21,667
Speaker 2: one each for Duffy and Santna. There's a runout in

1635
01:22:21,707 --> 01:22:24,147
Speaker 2: there as well. Sir New Zealand looking good at the

1636
01:22:24,187 --> 01:22:26,387
Speaker 2: moments for Lanka one seventy five for eight in the

1637
01:22:26,427 --> 01:22:30,587
Speaker 2: fortieth Marnus Lava, Shane's Aud and Sydney Australia are fifty

1638
01:22:30,627 --> 01:22:34,067
Speaker 2: five for two chasing one hundred and sixty two, so

1639
01:22:34,067 --> 01:22:37,507
Speaker 2: one hundred and seven needed eight wickets and hands Steve

1640
01:22:37,547 --> 01:22:40,507
Speaker 2: Smith and Usmund Kowaja are at the crease together. So

1641
01:22:40,587 --> 01:22:43,507
Speaker 2: we'll certainly keep very close eye on what's happening over there.

1642

Speaker 2: it is a bumper edition in case you missed it.

1651
01:23:07,827 --> 01:23:10,627
Speaker 2: Today with so much sport to keep you up with,

1652
01:23:11,307 --> 01:23:13,867
Speaker 2: So let's start with the Premier League. A pleasing morning

1653
01:23:13,907 --> 01:23:16,987
Speaker 2: for leaders Liverpool and they didn't even play. Two of

1654
01:23:17,027 --> 01:23:22,467
Speaker 2: their top four chasing pack adversaries have given up one

1655
01:23:22,547 --> 01:23:25,547
Speaker 2: nil Leeds to be held to one all draws. First

1656
01:23:25,587 --> 01:23:29,387
Speaker 2: of all Arsenal away at Brighton with the penalty against

1657
01:23:29,467 --> 01:23:30,347
Speaker 2: David Ryer.

1658
01:23:31,707 --> 01:23:33,227
Speaker 3: Have rotaws.

1659
01:23:34,787 --> 01:23:36,787
Speaker 2: Clutching harm level on.

1660
01:23:37,027 --> 01:23:40,467
Speaker 21: The ARMRK really well taken penalty.

1661
01:23:40,267 --> 01:23:47,787
Speaker 2: And then Chelsea away at Crystal Palace all away cross

1662
01:23:52,107 --> 01:23:58,467
Speaker 2: the second arf, so one one there as well, leaving

1663
01:23:58,507 --> 01:24:00,947
Speaker 2: Liverpool five points clear of Arsenal with a couple of

1664
01:24:01,027 --> 01:24:05,227
Speaker 2: games in hand. Meantime, a resurgence Manchester City back into

1665
01:24:05,267 --> 01:24:07,027
Speaker 2: the top six thresh in west Ham.

1666
01:24:16,187 --> 01:24:19,107
Speaker 22: If you one knew the gold mccollaghan from Manchester City,

1667
01:24:19,667 --> 01:24:22,547
Speaker 22: it was just a matter of time and the case

1668
01:24:22,587 --> 01:24:24,027
Speaker 22: of who would be on the end.

1669
01:24:23,987 --> 01:24:26,427
Speaker 2: Of a hiding and it is west Ham United.

1670
01:24:26,627 --> 01:24:26,787
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1671
01:24:26,827 --> 01:24:29,347
Speaker 2: Man City won in that one for one. Newcastle also

1672
01:24:29,427 --> 01:24:31,467
Speaker 2: into the top six after a two to one went

1673
01:24:31,507 --> 01:24:34,627
Speaker 2: away at Tottenham. Murphy across it's coming.

1674
01:24:36,067 --> 01:24:36,587
Speaker 21: Isa May.

1675
01:24:36,627 --> 01:24:37,667
Speaker 2: I've got a touch as well.

1676
01:24:39,027 --> 01:24:41,467
Speaker 8: Brilliant played for Murphy once more in that wide area

1677
01:24:41,587 --> 01:24:43,427
Speaker 8: and it looks like he does in fact come off

1678
01:24:43,507 --> 01:24:44,147
Speaker 8: of Isaac.

1679
01:24:44,187 --> 01:24:46,747
Speaker 2: I think the last touch he'll certainly be claiming it.

1680
01:24:47,147 --> 01:24:50,187
Speaker 2: Bournemouth up to the giddy heights of seventh with victory

1681
01:24:50,267 --> 01:24:53,747
Speaker 2: over Everton by Watara. It's a Kirkis.

1682
01:24:55,827 --> 01:24:56,227
Speaker 15: Brooks.

1683
01:24:59,187 --> 01:25:02,027
Speaker 13: What's a glorious strike from David Rugs.

Speaker 2: from the welshion. And at the bottom more misery for Southampton.

Speaker 9: Twelve runs needed to stay behind the line that's gone.

1714
01:26:54,307 --> 01:26:55,907
Speaker 9: It's going to get an opportunity underneath it.

1715
01:26:55,947 --> 01:26:57,627

1757
01:29:38,507 --> 01:29:41,787
Speaker 16: few years, you know, I've been. Making finals has been

1758
01:29:41,907 --> 01:29:45,227
Speaker 16: huge and to put down these two tracks and a

1759

Speaker 16: thing ever in the biggest three of come tu and

1761
01:29:50,427 --> 01:29:51,227

Speaker 8: It's more than just a game.

1763
01:29:54,227 --> 01:29:57,107
Speaker 1: Weekend Sport with Jason Tyne News Talk.

1764
01:29:57,787 --> 01:29:59,547
Speaker 2: They Go told you it was a bumper edition two

1765
01:29:59,667 --> 01:30:03,787
Speaker 2: seventeen on Weekend Sport. Early January is the time for

1766
01:30:03,947 --> 01:30:08,187
Speaker 2: resolutions and many sports people and particularly coaches, we'll be

1767
01:30:08,267 --> 01:30:11,107
Speaker 2: looking ahead and planning how twenty twenty five can be

1768
01:30:11,227 --> 01:30:15,187
Speaker 2: their best year ever, whether it's elite or grassroots that

1769
01:30:15,267 --> 01:30:18,427
Speaker 2: they're involved in. Coaching guru Wayne Goldsmith has joined us

1770
01:30:18,467 --> 01:30:20,627
Speaker 2: earlier in the year to give us some tips. You

1771
01:30:20,707 --> 01:30:23,427
Speaker 2: sent me a great article Wayne, how not to fail

1772
01:30:23,987 --> 01:30:27,827
Speaker 2: at keeping your New Year's resolutions. I found it very interesting.

1773
01:30:28,347 --> 01:30:30,707
Speaker 2: It's a good place to start when you're looking ahead,

1774
01:30:31,267 --> 01:30:34,187
Speaker 2: to look back at the year that's been and reflect

1775
01:30:34,267 --> 01:30:35,747
Speaker 2: honestly upon that.

1776
01:30:35,987 --> 01:30:39,307
Speaker 3: First of all, it is a happy new Year to you,

1777
01:30:39,467 --> 01:30:42,587
Speaker 3: pointing to all your listeners and millions and millions that

1778
01:30:42,747 --> 01:30:44,307
Speaker 3: I know are writes are in New Zealand and the

1779
01:30:44,347 --> 01:30:46,627
Speaker 3: rest of the world if they want to follow sport

1780
01:30:47,307 --> 01:30:49,867
Speaker 3: and learn all they can. But yeah, look, it's what

1781
01:30:49,987 --> 01:30:53,427
Speaker 3: we know about resolutions. It's a very common thing. You

1782
01:30:53,587 --> 01:30:56,587
Speaker 3: grow up with mum and dad saying, right, it's a

1783
01:30:56,707 --> 01:31:00,027
Speaker 3: new year, let's get up and get into school, and

1784
01:31:00,147 --> 01:31:02,387
Speaker 3: it's the year you're going to be in the first

1785
01:31:02,467 --> 01:31:05,747
Speaker 3: eleven soccer team and all those things. Yet we know,

1786
01:31:06,067 --> 01:31:09,347
Speaker 3: and research has been around for years and years, we

1787
01:31:09,547 --> 01:31:12,667
Speaker 3: know that by the end of January about sixty to

1788
01:31:12,827 --> 01:31:17,507
Speaker 3: seventy percent of those resolutions have been abandoned. And look

1789
01:31:17,547 --> 01:31:19,387
Speaker 3: at what I said to you a point of let's

1790
01:31:19,387 --> 01:31:21,427
Speaker 3: go and do something, but there's a seventy percent chance

1791
01:31:21,427 --> 01:31:24,107
Speaker 3: it's not going to work, you probably want to take

1792
01:31:24,467 --> 01:31:27,027
Speaker 3: another approach. And you know, thanks to the work of

1793
01:31:27,067 --> 01:31:29,587
Speaker 3: people like Mark Manson, I'm sure people have come across

1794
01:31:29,987 --> 01:31:33,827
Speaker 3: his book and other people who have looked at changed differently,

1795
01:31:34,587 --> 01:31:39,547
Speaker 3: there's a much much better way of reflecting on what's gone,

1796
01:31:39,747 --> 01:31:43,587
Speaker 3: but being better focused on the achievement of change in

1797
01:31:43,707 --> 01:31:46,107
Speaker 3: implementing change going forward.

1798
01:31:47,067 --> 01:31:49,707
Speaker 2: So let's look at how you do that effectively. Let's

1799
01:31:49,827 --> 01:31:52,547
Speaker 2: look at how we well might first of all, get

1800
01:31:52,587 --> 01:31:55,187
Speaker 2: past the end of January for starters, and then implement

1801
01:31:55,307 --> 01:31:59,547
Speaker 2: things which are going to have a concrete, positive effect

1802
01:32:00,507 --> 01:32:03,067
Speaker 2: when you look back and you look at what has

1803
01:32:03,147 --> 01:32:08,027
Speaker 2: been working, what hasn't doing, What should you stop doing,

1804
01:32:08,307 --> 01:32:10,587
Speaker 2: what should you start doing? And how do you work

1805
01:32:10,667 --> 01:32:15,067
Speaker 2: out which of your actions fall into which of those categories.

1806
01:32:16,587 --> 01:32:20,307
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's a question that even the professional teams.

1807
01:32:20,347 --> 01:32:23,507
Speaker 3: I'm sure when the All Blacks came back from the

1808
01:32:23,787 --> 01:32:27,267
Speaker 3: Spring tour, they came back from Europe and they went

1809
01:32:27,387 --> 01:32:30,107
Speaker 3: through a process of saying, well, what did we do

1810
01:32:30,347 --> 01:32:30,907
Speaker 3: that workers?

1811
01:32:30,907 --> 01:32:32,027
Speaker 2: There's always things.

1812
01:32:31,827 --> 01:32:34,747
Speaker 3: At work, and then what did we do where we went, Well,

1813
01:32:35,307 --> 01:32:38,547
Speaker 3: that just didn't work, that strategy didn't work, that player

1814
01:32:38,587 --> 01:32:41,587
Speaker 3: didn't work in that position, or that preparation didn't work,

1815
01:32:41,667 --> 01:32:44,347
Speaker 3: or the travel didn't work. And then we go, you know,

1816
01:32:44,467 --> 01:32:46,307
Speaker 3: what did we learn about this? What did we learn

1817
01:32:46,347 --> 01:32:48,787
Speaker 3: along the way that we can start doing? And that's

1818
01:32:48,787 --> 01:32:53,907
Speaker 3: a very simple but very effective model. Keep doing, stop doing,

1819
01:32:54,427 --> 01:32:57,587
Speaker 3: start doing what's working, they're doing it, what's not working,

1820
01:32:57,707 --> 01:33:00,387
Speaker 3: stop doing it? What did we learn along the way?

1821
01:33:00,467 --> 01:33:03,467
Speaker 3: What did we learn in the last week. I think

1822
01:33:03,587 --> 01:33:07,547
Speaker 3: the problem that I see with coaches find is they

1823
01:33:07,747 --> 01:33:11,387
Speaker 3: tend to abandon too much. There's a great one that says,

1824
01:33:11,907 --> 01:33:15,467
Speaker 3: if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. So

1825
01:33:15,667 --> 01:33:18,947
Speaker 3: instead of being analytical and say, let's sit down for

1826
01:33:18,987 --> 01:33:22,067
Speaker 3: a minute, what actually worked, what didn't work, and what

1827
01:33:22,187 --> 01:33:25,827
Speaker 3: can we do differently and ask the players, or sit

1828
01:33:25,867 --> 01:33:27,907
Speaker 3: down and talk to the parents or the committee or

1829
01:33:28,427 --> 01:33:31,267
Speaker 3: other coaches, or look at the data or whatever it is,

1830
01:33:31,667 --> 01:33:34,107
Speaker 3: and try to get a bit of an objective assessment

1831
01:33:34,507 --> 01:33:36,907
Speaker 3: of the things that work didn't work and what did

1832
01:33:36,987 --> 01:33:40,827
Speaker 3: we learn and look at it if they can almost

1833
01:33:40,867 --> 01:33:44,307
Speaker 3: from a distance, almost a helicopter perspective of looking at

1834
01:33:44,507 --> 01:33:46,867
Speaker 3: the inside from the outside and go, well, you know what,

1835
01:33:47,307 --> 01:33:50,587
Speaker 3: what actually worked, because otherwise they might be laying on

1836
01:33:50,667 --> 01:33:53,827
Speaker 3: the bench and they're going there's an article from the

1837
01:33:54,347 --> 01:33:57,107
Speaker 3: I don't know, the timber Wolves in the NBA, and

1838
01:33:58,147 --> 01:34:00,707
Speaker 3: the coach says, you know what we found really works

1839
01:34:01,347 --> 01:34:03,787
Speaker 3: is we train Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and we have the

1840
01:34:03,827 --> 01:34:05,467
Speaker 3: rest of the week off. And he goes, that's it.

1841
01:34:06,067 --> 01:34:08,307
Speaker 3: We've got to do that from now on with my

1842
01:34:08,467 --> 01:34:11,267
Speaker 3: under apes, because that's what somebody else is doing.

1843
01:34:11,987 --> 01:34:12,187
Speaker 5: Wrong.

1844
01:34:12,267 --> 01:34:15,507
Speaker 3: Way to go about it. It's not about following trends

1845
01:34:15,667 --> 01:34:19,187
Speaker 3: and saying we're going to change by following what's working

1846
01:34:19,267 --> 01:34:24,067
Speaker 3: for other people. It's that methodical, systematic We're already doing

1847
01:34:24,107 --> 01:34:25,907
Speaker 3: some things that are great, let's hang on to those

1848
01:34:26,387 --> 01:34:29,547
Speaker 3: some things we know just did not work. And then

1849
01:34:29,827 --> 01:34:32,427
Speaker 3: what did we learn though we're going to introduce some

1850
01:34:32,747 --> 01:34:36,067
Speaker 3: smart change to make things better, just.

1851
01:34:36,187 --> 01:34:36,467
Speaker 5: On the.

1852
01:34:38,027 --> 01:34:40,667
Speaker 2: Keep doing the things that worked. I guess the overplaying

1853
01:34:40,707 --> 01:34:43,387
Speaker 2: of that is not changing too much at all. And

1854
01:34:43,787 --> 01:34:47,107
Speaker 2: another one of our favorite sayings is insanity is doing

1855
01:34:47,147 --> 01:34:50,307
Speaker 2: the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

1856
01:34:50,707 --> 01:34:53,827
Speaker 2: How challenging is it for coaches who might have been successful,

1857
01:34:53,947 --> 01:34:58,067
Speaker 2: maybe very successful in twenty twenty four to actually say, okay,

1858
01:34:58,507 --> 01:35:00,667
Speaker 2: we still need to look at things that we can change.

1859
01:35:02,227 --> 01:35:02,387
Speaker 19: Yeah.

1860
01:35:02,427 --> 01:35:04,627
Speaker 3: I think you and I talked about this on a

1861
01:35:04,787 --> 01:35:09,347
Speaker 3: recent call about this need for intelligent and smart change.

1862
01:35:09,587 --> 01:35:13,787
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be big change, but this differentiation

1863
01:35:13,987 --> 01:35:17,787
Speaker 3: between what's working and that you know, those horrible words

1864
01:35:17,907 --> 01:35:21,987
Speaker 3: or those really negative performance living in words of that's

1865
01:35:22,147 --> 01:35:24,667
Speaker 3: the way we do it here. This is why there

1866
01:35:24,747 --> 01:35:26,547
Speaker 3: needs to be a bit of a process of thinking,

1867
01:35:26,787 --> 01:35:28,987
Speaker 3: because otherwise, you know, well we did that last year

1868
01:35:29,547 --> 01:35:33,147
Speaker 3: and we came first. Therefore everything we do is great

1869
01:35:33,227 --> 01:35:36,067
Speaker 3: and it's all working. Then you step back and say, well, hey,

1870
01:35:36,147 --> 01:35:39,467
Speaker 3: on a minute, if we hadn't have got that penalty

1871
01:35:39,547 --> 01:35:42,947
Speaker 3: with five minutes to go in the semi final, we

1872
01:35:43,067 --> 01:35:45,147
Speaker 3: wouldn't have been been in the final. And if that

1873
01:35:45,227 --> 01:35:48,707
Speaker 3: player hadn't been yellow carted after the first fifth day minutes,

1874
01:35:49,547 --> 01:35:51,507
Speaker 3: we may not have won one nil, or we may

1875
01:35:51,547 --> 01:35:53,427
Speaker 3: not have had that extramend's good to try and the

1876
01:35:53,507 --> 01:35:57,427
Speaker 3: corner so you could success could almost blind you. You

1877
01:35:57,547 --> 01:36:00,227
Speaker 3: can look back and say, well, okay, the performance was this.

1878
01:36:00,387 --> 01:36:03,427
Speaker 3: Therefore we know everything and even at the other end

1879
01:36:03,467 --> 01:36:05,907
Speaker 3: of the scale, pointing you could have come last in

1880
01:36:05,987 --> 01:36:09,147
Speaker 3: the comp addition, it doesn't mean that every single thing

1881
01:36:09,307 --> 01:36:12,427
Speaker 3: is wrong. There's always things that are working. And sometimes

1882
01:36:12,547 --> 01:36:15,427
Speaker 3: that's the art is knowing what the tweet, what the change,

1883
01:36:15,507 --> 01:36:18,627
Speaker 3: what not the change, and how to go about changing it.

1884
01:36:19,067 --> 01:36:21,907
Speaker 3: And quite often the evidence is right in front of you.

1885
01:36:22,667 --> 01:36:25,667
Speaker 3: If your eyes are open and you're not blinded by ego,

1886
01:36:25,867 --> 01:36:30,547
Speaker 3: you're not blinded by habit and tradition and ritual thinking

1887
01:36:30,747 --> 01:36:33,747
Speaker 3: that the things I do are all right. It's just

1888
01:36:33,947 --> 01:36:37,627
Speaker 3: circumstance or one of the big ones that I see.

1889
01:36:37,667 --> 01:36:39,307
Speaker 3: Point and I wrote an article about this year in

1890
01:36:39,347 --> 01:36:44,907
Speaker 3: the Week is you can't buy success. But the coaches go,

1891
01:36:45,027 --> 01:36:49,227
Speaker 3: you know what, Sure, we lost every every game last

1892
01:36:49,307 --> 01:36:53,667
Speaker 3: year and our tackling was awful, and our tack was terrible,

1893
01:36:53,987 --> 01:36:56,187
Speaker 3: and we couldn't kick and we couldn't pass. You know what,

1894
01:36:56,267 --> 01:37:01,107
Speaker 3: we need some new gym equipment. Break the mold of

1895
01:37:01,387 --> 01:37:05,427
Speaker 3: thinking that things you buy will fix your problems, and

1896
01:37:05,787 --> 01:37:08,507
Speaker 3: you're probably lost whole bunch of sponsors. I'm terribly sorry,

1897
01:37:08,867 --> 01:37:14,747
Speaker 3: but try to get the mindset of I as leader.

1898
01:37:14,987 --> 01:37:16,987
Speaker 3: I need to lead the change. I need to change

1899
01:37:17,387 --> 01:37:19,307
Speaker 3: what I'm doing and the way that I look at things.

1900
01:37:19,427 --> 01:37:22,627
Speaker 3: I then need to inspire change in the people who

1901
01:37:22,667 --> 01:37:25,347
Speaker 3: are around me. And then when I've got those things

1902
01:37:25,387 --> 01:37:28,747
Speaker 3: and play, sure, let's look for maybe some equipment choices.

1903
01:37:28,987 --> 01:37:30,827
Speaker 3: But I see a lot of you know, there's that.

1904
01:37:32,747 --> 01:37:36,427
Speaker 3: The story I like to tell, the way I like

1905
01:37:36,507 --> 01:37:39,067
Speaker 3: to describe it a people pointing is that if I'm

1906
01:37:39,107 --> 01:37:42,667
Speaker 3: a terrible driver and I break too late or too

1907
01:37:42,787 --> 01:37:45,547
Speaker 3: early and don't accelerate the right way and I don't

1908
01:37:45,547 --> 01:37:48,627
Speaker 3: know how to corner, given me a Ferrari doesn't make

1909
01:37:48,667 --> 01:37:51,467
Speaker 3: me a better driver, And I think it's a lot

1910
01:37:51,507 --> 01:37:53,827
Speaker 3: of coaches go, well, you know what, the skills are

1911
01:37:53,907 --> 01:37:56,627
Speaker 3: not great. There's not a lot of motivation, the culture

1912
01:37:56,667 --> 01:37:58,987
Speaker 3: and the team isn't really working on a lot of

1913
01:37:59,027 --> 01:38:01,947
Speaker 3: problems with parents. You know, we need a new gym,

1914
01:38:02,387 --> 01:38:04,427
Speaker 3: or we need everyone needs to get a new uniform,

1915
01:38:04,987 --> 01:38:07,947
Speaker 3: or we need some new goal paper. No good charming

1916
01:38:07,987 --> 01:38:11,187
Speaker 3: up with a great solution to the wrong problem. So

1917
01:38:11,467 --> 01:38:14,067
Speaker 3: first of all, figure out what's working, figure out what's

1918
01:38:14,187 --> 01:38:17,587
Speaker 3: not working, and then what did you learn that you

1919
01:38:17,707 --> 01:38:19,907
Speaker 3: can systematically implement and make it better?

1920
01:38:20,827 --> 01:38:23,787
Speaker 2: Change can be daunting, though, can't it wane? So can

1921
01:38:23,907 --> 01:38:26,187
Speaker 2: even small steps make a difference?

1922
01:38:27,787 --> 01:38:30,427
Speaker 3: Absolutely? And if you get a chance to read that

1923
01:38:30,627 --> 01:38:33,507
Speaker 3: Manson book, The Subtle Art of Not giving a root word,

1924
01:38:33,907 --> 01:38:36,347
Speaker 3: which I'm sure everybody's ever heard of or soon, but

1925
01:38:36,427 --> 01:38:39,907
Speaker 3: it's great, And he's got a wonderful series on YouTube

1926
01:38:39,947 --> 01:38:43,987
Speaker 3: about making change, James Clear with Atomic Habits. There's a

1927
01:38:44,067 --> 01:38:48,027
Speaker 3: lot of material you can buy or read for free

1928
01:38:48,667 --> 01:38:51,947
Speaker 3: online through social media by those two. But there's a

1929
01:38:51,987 --> 01:38:56,627
Speaker 3: lot of others where the message is small steps matter.

1930
01:38:57,307 --> 01:38:59,387
Speaker 3: So a lot of people going right, this is the

1931
01:38:59,507 --> 01:39:03,027
Speaker 3: year I'm going to change everything about the way I

1932
01:39:03,267 --> 01:39:06,867
Speaker 3: train for rugby. Everything's going to change every single thing. Well, no,

1933
01:39:07,267 --> 01:39:11,387
Speaker 3: just first little step, turn up five minutes early and

1934
01:39:11,507 --> 01:39:14,667
Speaker 3: do a few stretches. The next week, turn up five

1935
01:39:14,707 --> 01:39:18,387
Speaker 3: minutes early, do a few stretches and do ten kicks,

1936
01:39:19,387 --> 01:39:22,387
Speaker 3: or go by yourself the next week, turn up five

1937
01:39:22,427 --> 01:39:25,027
Speaker 3: minutes early, do some stretches, have a few goal kicks,

1938
01:39:25,227 --> 01:39:26,987
Speaker 3: and do a little bit more of a warm up,

1939
01:39:27,187 --> 01:39:31,907
Speaker 3: or just little steps and the cumulative effect of those

1940
01:39:32,027 --> 01:39:35,947
Speaker 3: little steps and achievable steps. What we know from the

1941
01:39:36,067 --> 01:39:42,147
Speaker 3: research about things like news resolutions in broader society, most

1942
01:39:42,227 --> 01:39:45,867
Speaker 3: of them fail because steps are too big. So you

1943
01:39:45,947 --> 01:39:48,467
Speaker 3: might have someone like me is about ten fifteen clays

1944
01:39:48,507 --> 01:39:50,907
Speaker 3: overweight on a good day. You say, right, this is

1945
01:39:50,987 --> 01:39:53,467
Speaker 3: the day, this is the time, this is year. I'm

1946
01:39:53,467 --> 01:39:55,387
Speaker 3: going to lose all the weight. I'm going to run

1947
01:39:55,427 --> 01:39:59,187
Speaker 3: a marathon, I'm going to play NBA, and I'm going

1948
01:39:59,227 --> 01:40:01,347
Speaker 3: to do it all by the end of February. Let's go.

1949
01:40:01,907 --> 01:40:06,027
Speaker 3: And it's not sustainable. The steps are too big and

1950
01:40:06,707 --> 01:40:08,987
Speaker 3: us putting human beings. We want to see results, we

1951
01:40:09,107 --> 01:40:11,547
Speaker 3: want to see things happening, so I want to go.

1952
01:40:11,867 --> 01:40:13,267
Speaker 3: If I go to the gym, I want to look

1953
01:40:13,307 --> 01:40:16,547
Speaker 3: like Schwartz Nigga the next day. So we know that

1954
01:40:16,827 --> 01:40:20,627
Speaker 3: just doesn't work. And your brain centeriator says, what's the point,

1955
01:40:21,187 --> 01:40:23,907
Speaker 3: why bother? I'm not getting Whereas if I go to

1956
01:40:23,987 --> 01:40:26,187
Speaker 3: the gym and say, my only goal to the gym

1957
01:40:26,267 --> 01:40:29,427
Speaker 3: today is to get there on time and to do

1958
01:40:29,627 --> 01:40:33,467
Speaker 3: ten or fifteen minutes of exercise that I enjoy. That's

1959
01:40:33,507 --> 01:40:36,107
Speaker 3: all I need to do today. All Right, Tomorrow I'm

1960
01:40:36,107 --> 01:40:38,427
Speaker 3: going to turn up, I'm going to go twenty minutes,

1961
01:40:38,867 --> 01:40:40,747
Speaker 3: and I'm going to end it with five minutes on

1962
01:40:40,827 --> 01:40:43,627
Speaker 3: the bike or five minutes on the treatment. All right,

1963
01:40:43,747 --> 01:40:48,187
Speaker 3: next week, and those little steps achievable steps, but you're

1964
01:40:48,227 --> 01:40:52,227
Speaker 3: getting immediate feedback to going, wow, I'm getting better. I'm

1965
01:40:52,267 --> 01:40:55,907
Speaker 3: seeing progress. I'm seeing improvement. And if I can give

1966
01:40:55,987 --> 01:41:00,147
Speaker 3: one piece of advice to coaches, to parents and athletes

1967
01:41:00,867 --> 01:41:07,107
Speaker 3: is tiny steps. It's the cumulative effect, the impact of

1968
01:41:07,547 --> 01:41:09,467
Speaker 3: And I'd say to swimmers, okay, what are you going

1969
01:41:09,547 --> 01:41:11,347
Speaker 3: to do this year? And I go I'm going to

1970
01:41:11,587 --> 01:41:13,467
Speaker 3: make the national team or I'm going to break a

1971
01:41:13,547 --> 01:41:16,267
Speaker 3: national record. All right, how far is that? How far

1972
01:41:16,347 --> 01:41:18,587
Speaker 3: are you off your target? And they might say, oh,

1973
01:41:18,747 --> 01:41:22,667
Speaker 3: look I'm four seconds away, which is a huge chunk

1974
01:41:22,747 --> 01:41:25,947
Speaker 3: of improvement, and it can be daunting, but say, look,

1975
01:41:25,947 --> 01:41:28,827
Speaker 3: all you've got to improve is a tenth of a

1976
01:41:28,987 --> 01:41:33,067
Speaker 3: second every session. That's it. Can you improve a tenth

1977
01:41:33,107 --> 01:41:35,507
Speaker 3: of a second. Yes they can, they tell me back. Well,

1978
01:41:35,547 --> 01:41:39,427
Speaker 3: that's all you need to think about, because accumulative effect

1979
01:41:39,507 --> 01:41:43,547
Speaker 3: over a week is half a second, accumulat VINCO two

1980
01:41:43,667 --> 01:41:47,507
Speaker 3: weeks is and those little steps matter.

1981
01:41:48,987 --> 01:41:53,147
Speaker 2: Such instantly usable advice. As always, Wayne, thank you for

1982
01:41:53,187 --> 01:41:54,987
Speaker 2: your time. Now I understand you're hitting our way. You're

1983
01:41:55,227 --> 01:41:57,067
Speaker 2: catching up with a bunch of tennis coaches over the

1984
01:41:57,147 --> 01:41:57,747
Speaker 2: side of the ditch.

1985
01:41:59,067 --> 01:42:03,067
Speaker 3: I am. I am on Monday morning on speaking at

1986
01:42:03,267 --> 01:42:08,787
Speaker 3: the Tennis New Zealand the the Classic Tennis Tournament in Auckland.

1987
01:42:08,827 --> 01:42:13,587
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to it. I'm talking about the importance

1988
01:42:13,667 --> 01:42:17,987
Speaker 3: of coaching choice, and the whole theme will be about

1989
01:42:19,507 --> 01:42:22,587
Speaker 3: taking coaches on a journey on how they can go

1990
01:42:23,067 --> 01:42:27,747
Speaker 3: from coaching kids by what I call bob coaching, bucket

1991
01:42:27,787 --> 01:42:30,587
Speaker 3: of balls coaching and just trying balls across and getting

1992
01:42:30,627 --> 01:42:33,627
Speaker 3: them to hit them back, which is quite off from

1993
01:42:33,627 --> 01:42:36,547
Speaker 3: what we've seen in the really early years and introductory

1994
01:42:36,627 --> 01:42:42,187
Speaker 3: years of coaching, true to helping athletes become independent, to

1995
01:42:42,307 --> 01:42:46,947
Speaker 3: become self accountable, to become responsible for their own actions behavior.

1996
01:42:47,027 --> 01:42:49,987
Speaker 3: So it'll be taking coaches through a process of how

1997
01:42:50,067 --> 01:42:55,627
Speaker 3: do I help kids go from coaching coaching following my

1998
01:42:55,827 --> 01:42:59,747
Speaker 3: coaching and doing the coaching process that I'm suggesting for them,

1999
01:42:59,787 --> 01:43:03,787
Speaker 3: the taking ownership, responsibility and accountability for their own destinies.

2000
01:43:03,867 --> 01:43:06,987
Speaker 3: So it's the asp CLA. We get to go to

2001
01:43:07,067 --> 01:43:09,347
Speaker 3: the tennis that night. What a day. So I get

2002
01:43:09,387 --> 01:43:11,707
Speaker 3: to work with coaches in the morning, hang out and

2003
01:43:11,787 --> 01:43:13,747
Speaker 3: listen to some other presenters during the day, and then

2004
01:43:13,787 --> 01:43:16,467
Speaker 3: we all go to the tennis at night. Carrot Waite's

Speaker 2: says there are showers in p Toni and that's obviously

2029
01:44:19,627 --> 01:44:23,467
Speaker 2: about ten or fifteen k app State Highway two from Wellington,

2030
01:44:23,587 --> 01:44:26,107
Speaker 2: and Mary says, I've just been an Island Bay and

2031
01:44:26,227 --> 01:44:28,667
Speaker 2: then Lyle Bay. A few spits of rain, Island Bay

2032
01:44:28,667 --> 01:44:30,147
Speaker 2: and Lile Bay. Not far from the basement at all.

2033
01:44:30,507 --> 01:44:32,787
Speaker 2: Still quite bright though it'll be interesting if the weather

2034
01:44:32,827 --> 01:44:35,507
Speaker 2: holds long enough for the cricket game to finish. Thanks Mary. Yeah,

2035
01:44:35,547 --> 01:44:38,947
Speaker 2: looking at the window, I'm literally five hundred meters from

2036
01:44:38,987 --> 01:44:40,867
Speaker 2: the basement reserve where I'm sitting here in the ZB

2037
01:44:40,947 --> 01:44:44,307
Speaker 2: Wellington studio. No spits of rain on the window here

2038
01:44:44,307 --> 01:44:46,667
Speaker 2: at the moment, so I get the filing. They'll be okay.

2039
01:44:47,547 --> 01:44:49,347
Speaker 2: New Zealand wuldn't want to make around though. I think

2040
01:44:49,387 --> 01:44:52,347
Speaker 2: they want to get out there and start having to

2041
01:44:52,387 --> 01:44:55,307
Speaker 2: go at it. As far as Australia and India are concerned,

2042
01:44:55,947 --> 01:44:59,107
Speaker 2: Australia is seventy one for three. Seventy one for three.

2043
01:44:59,467 --> 01:45:02,267
Speaker 2: That's at lunch on the third day. They're chasing one

2044
01:45:02,387 --> 01:45:05,347
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty two to win, so another ninety one

2045
01:45:05,467 --> 01:45:09,827
Speaker 2: needed with seven wickets in hand, twenty eight away from

2046
01:45:09,867 --> 01:45:13,947
Speaker 2: three when we come back. A Auckland doctor has run

2047
01:45:14,827 --> 01:45:18,827
Speaker 2: an ultramarathon on every continent in a calendar year. What

2048
01:45:19,067 --> 01:45:21,147
Speaker 2: was it all about? How did he do it? What

2049
01:45:21,347 --> 01:45:24,627
Speaker 2: was the secret? Doctor eny Aromati going to join us

2050
01:45:25,107 --> 01:45:27,067

2051

Speaker 2: Twenty five to three and Auckland City Hospital doctor has

2056
01:45:43,187 --> 01:45:47,867
Speaker 2: achieved an incredible feat by completing a self supported ultra

2057
01:45:47,987 --> 01:45:52,147
Speaker 2: marathon on all seven continents in just one year. In

2058
01:45:52,227 --> 01:45:57,387
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, doctor Ineotromatty completed eight races in eight

2059
01:45:57,467 --> 01:46:02,507
Speaker 2: countries Australia, New Zealand, Namibia, Peru, Mongolia, Romania, the United

2060

Speaker 2: States and Antarctica. Across all seven con stance each Ultra

2061
01:46:07,547 --> 01:46:11,907
Speaker 2: Marathon was around two hundred and fifty kilometers and took

2062
01:46:12,027 --> 01:46:16,627
Speaker 2: five to six days to complete. Doctor Annioldo Matti Joints

2063
01:46:16,707 --> 01:46:21,347
Speaker 2: US Now, congratulations on this incredible, incredible feat. I guess

2064
01:46:21,387 --> 01:46:23,667
Speaker 2: the obvious first question is why.

2065
01:46:25,387 --> 01:46:26,827
Speaker 3: Ah, that's a very good question.

2066
01:46:27,707 --> 01:46:29,787
Speaker 8: It was a bit of a combination of I was

2067
01:46:29,987 --> 01:46:32,707
Speaker 8: raising money for a scholarship that we're starting to help

2068
01:46:32,787 --> 01:46:36,747
Speaker 8: with school kids to get them motivated to partake in

2069
01:46:36,867 --> 01:46:40,987
Speaker 8: sport and tertiary education. And the other reason why was

2070
01:46:41,107 --> 01:46:43,067
Speaker 8: I was turning fifty, so I'm getting old.

2071
01:46:44,547 --> 01:46:48,227
Speaker 2: What better way to celebrate bringing up a milestone birthday

2072
01:46:48,347 --> 01:46:50,587
Speaker 2: like that than doing this. So let's talk about the

2073
01:46:50,707 --> 01:46:53,947
Speaker 2: logistics of it, the scheduling of it. First of all,

2074
01:46:54,787 --> 01:46:57,347
Speaker 2: did you I mean were you You were obviously confident

2075
01:46:57,427 --> 01:46:59,627
Speaker 2: that you could fit them all into one calendar year,

2076
01:46:59,987 --> 01:47:02,027
Speaker 2: but were there any logistical challenges?

2077
01:47:02,947 --> 01:47:04,547
Speaker 3: Oh, it was the logistical nightmare.

2078
01:47:04,707 --> 01:47:06,867
Speaker 8: Like we actually managed to get all is done in

2079
01:47:06,947 --> 01:47:10,827
Speaker 8: ten months in the end, but people would cancel races,

2080
01:47:12,387 --> 01:47:14,107
Speaker 8: you know, and then we'd have to find another race

2081
01:47:14,187 --> 01:47:16,627
Speaker 8: on another on the same continent and try to work

2082
01:47:16,627 --> 01:47:20,187
Speaker 8: it with other ones occasionally, like the worst I had

2083
01:47:20,307 --> 01:47:22,867
Speaker 8: was one race I came back from. I literally got

2084
01:47:22,907 --> 01:47:25,667
Speaker 8: back to New zealand had a day, had to repack

2085
01:47:25,787 --> 01:47:28,107
Speaker 8: all my gear, swap it out, and was back on

2086
01:47:28,187 --> 01:47:30,827
Speaker 8: the plane again the next day. So yeah, it was

2087
01:47:30,907 --> 01:47:31,387
Speaker 8: pretty tight.

2088
01:47:32,107 --> 01:47:34,867
Speaker 2: So I want to come back to the scheduling, but

2089
01:47:34,947 --> 01:47:38,427
Speaker 2: in terms of recovery, because how long would recovery for

2090
01:47:38,547 --> 01:47:40,547
Speaker 2: one of these races normally be. I wouldn't imagine that

2091
01:47:40,627 --> 01:47:43,547
Speaker 2: one day is the ideal recovery. What is the what

2092
01:47:43,667 --> 01:47:45,907
Speaker 2: is the normal recovery time after one of these.

2093
01:47:46,747 --> 01:47:50,387
Speaker 8: Really realistically normally after a big race like that, was

2094
01:47:50,387 --> 01:47:53,867
Speaker 8: the amount of you know, of course your playing I

2095
01:47:53,907 --> 01:47:55,507
Speaker 8: guess for want a bit of term, you're looking at

2096
01:47:55,507 --> 01:48:00,307
Speaker 8: about three months, I guess, so you know, turning around

2097
01:48:00,387 --> 01:48:02,547
Speaker 8: and having like two weeks to be start and as

2098
01:48:02,587 --> 01:48:03,467
Speaker 8: we're traveling between.

2099
01:48:03,507 --> 01:48:06,947
Speaker 2: It's not the best mat it's not, but obviously you

2100
01:48:07,307 --> 01:48:10,627
Speaker 2: you factored all that in the one in Antarctica. I

2101
01:48:10,707 --> 01:48:14,307
Speaker 2: think I read that that only happens every every other year.

2102
01:48:14,427 --> 01:48:15,747
Speaker 2: So if you didn't do it this year, you would

2103
01:48:15,747 --> 01:48:16,707
Speaker 2: have had to wait for a couple of years.

2104
01:48:16,787 --> 01:48:17,147
Speaker 3: Is that right?

2105
01:48:17,787 --> 01:48:20,187
Speaker 8: Yeah, correctly it was the big one. You know, like

2106
01:48:20,307 --> 01:48:22,587
Speaker 8: if I if I messed up at a race this

2107
01:48:22,787 --> 01:48:24,627
Speaker 8: year and couldn't finish it, then I had to wait

2108
01:48:24,747 --> 01:48:25,747
Speaker 8: like another two years.

2109
01:48:27,307 --> 01:48:29,147
Speaker 2: When you look back, which one was the hardest?

2110
01:48:30,547 --> 01:48:35,107
Speaker 8: Oh, I think the one in Libya in Africa. Unfortunately,

2111
01:48:35,147 --> 01:48:37,387
Speaker 8: in the first race in New Zealand, I caught COVID

2112
01:48:37,427 --> 01:48:40,147
Speaker 8: on the last day and so I sort of turned

2113
01:48:40,147 --> 01:48:42,267
Speaker 8: around in the via and it got up to like,

2114
01:48:42,347 --> 01:48:45,547
Speaker 8: you know, fifty degrees in the heat, so I was

2115
01:48:45,587 --> 01:48:49,427
Speaker 8: pretty suffering. So that was probably put the biggest physical toll.

2116
01:48:50,027 --> 01:48:53,067
Speaker 2: Because I guess across the continents, depending on the time

2117
01:48:53,107 --> 01:48:54,707
Speaker 2: of year and all that sort of thing, you came

2118
01:48:54,827 --> 01:48:59,547
Speaker 2: up against different different weather, different climatic sort of conditions.

2119
01:48:59,627 --> 01:49:01,347
Speaker 2: Do you prefer the heat, Do you like it when

2120
01:49:01,347 --> 01:49:02,747
Speaker 2: it's a bit cooler? What's your preference?

2121
01:49:03,547 --> 01:49:03,667
Speaker 8: Oh?

2122
01:49:03,707 --> 01:49:04,747
Speaker 20: I I like the cold.

2123
01:49:04,947 --> 01:49:07,987
Speaker 8: I loved Antarctica. You know, not only an antactic has

2124
01:49:08,027 --> 01:49:10,467
Speaker 8: made for like short, stocky people like myself. You know,

2125
01:49:10,627 --> 01:49:14,867
Speaker 8: it's cold, the wind howling or the really skiny you

2126
01:49:14,947 --> 01:49:18,907
Speaker 8: know runner athlete will get going around, So it works

2127
01:49:18,907 --> 01:49:19,507
Speaker 8: in our favor.

2128
01:49:20,227 --> 01:49:23,227
Speaker 2: So these are self supported ultra marathons, so were you

2129
01:49:23,307 --> 01:49:25,507
Speaker 2: basically buy yourself the whole time?

2130
01:49:27,027 --> 01:49:29,347
Speaker 8: I read a lot from myself, but the self supporter

2131
01:49:29,547 --> 01:49:31,947
Speaker 8: side comes into like you have to carry everything you

2132
01:49:32,067 --> 01:49:34,827
Speaker 8: need on you in your back for the sixty second days,

2133
01:49:34,907 --> 01:49:37,827
Speaker 8: so all your food, your sleeping bag, everything like that,

2134
01:49:38,547 --> 01:49:41,827
Speaker 8: and it just provides you overnight with ten ten water allowance.

2135
01:49:43,307 --> 01:49:45,467
Speaker 8: I've got a really weird running style, so nobody sort

2136
01:49:45,507 --> 01:49:47,987
Speaker 8: of runs with me for long, so that's quite good.

2137
01:49:49,027 --> 01:49:50,627
Speaker 2: What's weird about your running style?

2138
01:49:51,467 --> 01:49:53,867
Speaker 3: Oh, I've got really short legs, and I think.

2139
01:49:53,747 --> 01:49:56,027
Speaker 8: I run as fast as some people walk at times

2140
01:49:56,107 --> 01:49:57,627
Speaker 8: with the big, tall, lanky people.

2141
01:49:59,187 --> 01:50:02,267
Speaker 2: So actually for these for these races, you're probably taking,

2142
01:50:02,387 --> 01:50:04,627
Speaker 2: you know, twice as many steps as somebody else is

2143
01:50:04,667 --> 01:50:04,907
Speaker 2: doing it.

2144
01:50:05,907 --> 01:50:08,867
Speaker 8: Probably, you know, I probably weigh twice as much as

2145
01:50:08,867 --> 01:50:09,587
Speaker 8: some of them as well.

2146
01:50:09,667 --> 01:50:10,307
Speaker 3: But it's all good.

2147
01:50:10,987 --> 01:50:12,547
Speaker 8: It happens with the endurance side of it.

2148
01:50:13,147 --> 01:50:15,507
Speaker 2: So how do you split it up? Any do you across?

2149
01:50:15,667 --> 01:50:19,507
Speaker 2: Do you divide the kilometers evenly across the days? Are

2150
01:50:19,547 --> 01:50:21,627
Speaker 2: there certain days you run more k does? How does

2151
01:50:21,667 --> 01:50:21,987
Speaker 2: it work?

2152
01:50:22,907 --> 01:50:23,107
Speaker 20: Yeah?

2153
01:50:23,147 --> 01:50:25,627
Speaker 8: So typically they run about on the same format, so

2154
01:50:25,747 --> 01:50:29,507
Speaker 8: you run roughly marathon the day, and there's a time

2155
01:50:29,707 --> 01:50:32,067
Speaker 8: cut off that you have to make, and then they

2156
01:50:32,187 --> 01:50:34,387
Speaker 8: totally have a long stage where they sort of double

2157
01:50:34,467 --> 01:50:36,307
Speaker 8: it up, so you might be running eighty to one

2158
01:50:36,387 --> 01:50:40,227
Speaker 8: hundred k's and that can go overnight. If you're quick enough,

2159
01:50:40,347 --> 01:50:42,827
Speaker 8: you almost get a whole day off before the final

2160
01:50:42,907 --> 01:50:44,307
Speaker 8: sort of sprint days to finish.

2161
01:50:45,427 --> 01:50:48,347
Speaker 2: And in terms of sleep, how many hours of sleep

2162
01:50:48,387 --> 01:50:49,907
Speaker 2: are you're getting per night on average?

2163
01:50:50,667 --> 01:50:52,307
Speaker 8: Well, I think they'll probably get more than when I'm

2164
01:50:52,307 --> 01:50:56,187
Speaker 8: working as an emergency dots. The truth you know, before

2165
01:50:56,227 --> 01:50:58,667
Speaker 8: you've got to do is you wake up for a run,

2166
01:50:59,147 --> 01:51:00,867
Speaker 8: eat and have a bit of a sleep. No, I

2167
01:51:00,987 --> 01:51:03,187
Speaker 8: sleep quite well, intense I love it well.

2168
01:51:03,187 --> 01:51:05,947
Speaker 2: I imagine after doing the case during a day, you

2169
01:51:05,947 --> 01:51:09,467
Speaker 2: wouldn't take much to not off in a race of

2170
01:51:09,507 --> 01:51:11,907
Speaker 2: this length, in a two hundred and fifty kilometer run,

2171
01:51:12,667 --> 01:51:14,947
Speaker 2: which are typically the hardest kilometers.

2172
01:51:16,267 --> 01:51:19,627
Speaker 8: Well, I think the early days and that's when most

2173
01:51:19,667 --> 01:51:22,747
Speaker 8: people will put out or quit because you haven't really

2174
01:51:22,907 --> 01:51:25,627
Speaker 8: invested much, and every time you started a new race,

2175
01:51:25,707 --> 01:51:29,427
Speaker 8: it's like your body hurts. And then come about day three,

2176
01:51:30,307 --> 01:51:32,147
Speaker 8: my brain just tells the body to shut up and

2177
01:51:32,227 --> 01:51:35,467
Speaker 8: get on with it so usual. I used to get

2178
01:51:35,507 --> 01:51:37,227
Speaker 8: better as the days go on.

2179
01:51:37,507 --> 01:51:41,587
Speaker 2: So how did you get the ultra marathon bug?

2180
01:51:43,347 --> 01:51:44,067
Speaker 3: It was a little went.

2181
01:51:44,027 --> 01:51:48,027
Speaker 8: Through my dad really like I sort of I hurt

2182
01:51:48,107 --> 01:51:51,587
Speaker 8: my back quite badly in my thirties through work, looking

2183
01:51:51,627 --> 01:51:53,307
Speaker 8: on the chop the service and that, and then just

2184
01:51:53,387 --> 01:51:56,227
Speaker 8: sort of gradually got into running. And my dad was

2185
01:51:56,227 --> 01:52:00,387
Speaker 8: always into like running. So one day, you know, there's

2186
01:52:00,467 --> 01:52:03,667
Speaker 8: priceless earthquakes, he signed me up or he told people

2187
01:52:03,707 --> 01:52:05,507
Speaker 8: I was going to run an ultra marathon to raise

2188
01:52:05,547 --> 01:52:08,227
Speaker 8: money for charity. And that was the first one, and

2189
01:52:08,267 --> 01:52:09,587
Speaker 8: it sort of just took off from there.

2190
01:52:09,987 --> 01:52:12,587
Speaker 2: And because I guess people get the running bag right,

2191
01:52:12,627 --> 01:52:15,227
Speaker 2: they do and they run. They might run a ten k,

2192
01:52:15,387 --> 01:52:17,507
Speaker 2: they might run a half marathon, they might run marathons.

2193
01:52:17,787 --> 01:52:19,787
Speaker 2: The ultra marathon just seems to me to be an

2194
01:52:19,987 --> 01:52:24,267
Speaker 2: entirely different commitment all together. When do you train? Did

2195
01:52:24,347 --> 01:52:26,267
Speaker 2: you manage to train at all? Or was it just

2196
01:52:26,387 --> 01:52:27,267
Speaker 2: race to race to race?

2197
01:52:28,187 --> 01:52:30,987
Speaker 8: Yes, most of my training was actually done in twenty

2198
01:52:31,067 --> 01:52:32,867
Speaker 8: twenty three. I guess I spent a lot of time

2199
01:52:33,907 --> 01:52:36,147
Speaker 8: and the putty once of what is on purposes of

2200
01:52:36,267 --> 01:52:39,547
Speaker 8: muscle and running long back to back runs on the

2201
01:52:39,587 --> 01:52:41,787
Speaker 8: weekends or you know, I could get off work, and

2202
01:52:41,907 --> 01:52:45,387
Speaker 8: then last year you're really just recovery between races. You

2203
01:52:45,427 --> 01:52:48,707
Speaker 8: don't really need to train if you're doing that many runs,

2204
01:52:49,787 --> 01:52:52,427
Speaker 8: you just tried to rebuild enough to get back into

2205
01:52:52,467 --> 01:52:52,947
Speaker 8: the next one.

2206
01:52:53,787 --> 01:52:56,387
Speaker 2: Where does your mind go during these runs? Do you

2207
01:52:56,627 --> 01:52:58,667
Speaker 2: solve the problems of the world, do you do you

2208
01:52:58,747 --> 01:52:59,547
Speaker 2: have do you play music?

2209
01:52:59,627 --> 01:52:59,667
Speaker 3: What?

2210
01:52:59,987 --> 01:53:01,627
Speaker 2: Where does your mind go during these races?

2211
01:53:02,467 --> 01:53:05,227
Speaker 8: Yeah, sometimes they have little epiphanes and sort of they

2212
01:53:05,347 --> 01:53:08,107
Speaker 8: have to quickly think about jotting them down about you know,

2213
01:53:08,267 --> 01:53:09,827
Speaker 8: fixing the health care system.

2214
01:53:09,707 --> 01:53:10,307
Speaker 3: Things like that.

2215
01:53:10,547 --> 01:53:14,147
Speaker 8: But mostly I don't listen to music. I like to

2216
01:53:14,187 --> 01:53:18,547
Speaker 8: switch off. I get sort of bombarded with you know,

2217
01:53:18,827 --> 01:53:21,947
Speaker 8: questions and all that sort of stuff every day all

2218
01:53:22,027 --> 01:53:23,947
Speaker 8: the time. So I like to switch off and go

2219
01:53:24,067 --> 01:53:26,547
Speaker 8: to my own little space and maybe have a bit

2220
01:53:26,547 --> 01:53:29,227
Speaker 8: of a chat with the other runners and you know,

2221
01:53:29,347 --> 01:53:31,347
Speaker 8: learn about why they're doing it as well, and that

2222
01:53:31,467 --> 01:53:34,667
Speaker 8: sort of helps with other things I'm trying to organize.

2223
01:53:34,707 --> 01:53:38,867
Speaker 8: And yeah, it's sort of sometimes I'll run in case whatever.

2224
01:53:38,947 --> 01:53:40,547
Speaker 8: You don't even know it because you've just switched the

2225
01:53:40,627 --> 01:53:41,107
Speaker 8: brain off.

2226
01:53:41,707 --> 01:53:44,987
Speaker 2: Incredible, incredible, So what does twenty twenty five hold for you.

2227
01:53:47,987 --> 01:53:49,787
Speaker 8: Well, at the moment, I think now that all the

2228
01:53:49,867 --> 01:53:51,947
Speaker 8: big races are over, my body's sort of in that

2229
01:53:52,347 --> 01:53:55,907
Speaker 8: it's sore and it's wanting to recover a bit. It's

2230
01:53:55,947 --> 01:53:57,787
Speaker 8: going to be a busy start of the year because

2231
01:53:57,987 --> 01:54:00,347
Speaker 8: I'm getting married and I've got one more race to

2232
01:54:00,467 --> 01:54:03,867
Speaker 8: do to try to set another record, and then hopefully

2233
01:54:03,947 --> 01:54:06,947
Speaker 8: the second half of the year will just be lounging

2234
01:54:06,987 --> 01:54:07,467
Speaker 8: around it.

2235
01:54:08,067 --> 01:54:09,907
Speaker 2: Well, you've earned it. What's the what's the race you

2236
01:54:09,987 --> 01:54:11,747
Speaker 2: have to do to and what's the record that you're

2237
01:54:11,747 --> 01:54:13,587
Speaker 2: looking to set with with us next one?

2238
01:54:14,347 --> 01:54:17,747
Speaker 8: Oh well, there's a four deserts race series run by

2239
01:54:17,907 --> 01:54:21,707
Speaker 8: Racing the Planet, and so I was the first New

01:54:21,827 --> 01:54:24,467
Speaker 8: Zealander and so far the ownly New Zealanders do all

2241
01:54:24,507 --> 01:54:27,347
Speaker 8: four in a year of those. But if I finish

2242
01:54:27,467 --> 01:54:32,107
Speaker 8: the next race in March is a group of us,

2243
01:54:32,147 --> 01:54:33,827
Speaker 8: there's a few of us that if we all finish,

2244
01:54:33,867 --> 01:54:35,467
Speaker 8: will be the first to ever do it twice.

2245
01:54:35,547 --> 01:54:40,467
Speaker 2: And is that one amazing? And then marriage it'll be

2246
01:54:40,507 --> 01:54:41,627
Speaker 2: a breeze after all of this.

2247
01:54:43,787 --> 01:54:45,907

2277

2282
01:56:39,467 --> 01:56:42,747
Speaker 2: the postmat's thoughts of coach Paul Temple, starting with Grace

2283
01:56:42,827 --> 01:56:43,467
Speaker 2: Jarlay's goal.

2284
01:56:43,707 --> 01:56:47,307
Speaker 18: Yeah, almost the same patch, right that She's been doing

2285
01:56:47,347 --> 01:56:50,107
Speaker 18: those at training time after time, and I keep telling

2286
01:56:50,187 --> 01:56:52,067
Speaker 18: her she's just got to keep shooting. She's got such

2287
01:56:52,227 --> 01:56:55,867
Speaker 18: unbelievable ability and there's proof now two games in a

2288
01:56:55,987 --> 01:56:57,907
Speaker 18: row of what she can do. So yeah, there'll be

2289
01:56:57,987 --> 01:57:00,067
Speaker 18: more to come. She seems to keep believing in herself,

2290
01:57:00,507 --> 01:57:02,907
Speaker 18: but technically she can do all those things. It's a

2291
01:57:02,947 --> 01:57:05,267
Speaker 18: great goal two in a row now for Fergie as well,

2292
01:57:05,307 --> 01:57:09,347
Speaker 18: which is good. Keeps building the confidence right. We created

2293
01:57:09,387 --> 01:57:12,027
Speaker 18: a lot of good opportunities. Probably could have been a

2294
01:57:12,107 --> 01:57:15,027
Speaker 18: little bit more clinical as well. Just decision're making in

2295
01:57:15,027 --> 01:57:17,147
Speaker 18: and around the box at times can be a bit better.

2296
01:57:17,227 --> 01:57:19,987
Speaker 18: But these are good problems to have because you know

2297
01:57:20,027 --> 01:57:22,107
Speaker 18: as soon as we start fixing those things, we're just

2298
01:57:22,187 --> 01:57:24,787
Speaker 18: going to start scoring a lot more goals. But we're

2299
01:57:24,827 --> 01:57:27,107
Speaker 18: creating a lot and getting in their box. So unpleased

2300
01:57:27,107 --> 01:57:29,387
Speaker 18: with that. I think this league it's really difficult to

2301
01:57:29,507 --> 01:57:31,747
Speaker 18: plan ahead and think, oh, we could win that, or

2302
01:57:31,787 --> 01:57:33,707
Speaker 18: we're going to struggle there or that Mum might be

2303
01:57:33,787 --> 01:57:35,987
Speaker 18: difficult because you just don't know what you're going to

2304
01:57:36,027 --> 01:57:38,547
Speaker 18: come up against on the day. I think everyone's capable

2305
01:57:38,587 --> 01:57:41,987
Speaker 18: of beating everyone. So we're just this season going with

2306
01:57:42,067 --> 01:57:45,107
Speaker 18: a one step at a time approach. We're not even

2307
01:57:45,147 --> 01:57:47,907
Speaker 18: looking at the opponents ahead. We're just kind of going, right,

2308
01:57:48,067 --> 01:57:49,627
Speaker 18: what are they this week? And what have we got

2309
01:57:49,707 --> 01:57:52,147
Speaker 18: to face and how we're going to prepare ourselves. So

2310
01:57:52,227 --> 01:57:55,067
Speaker 18: we just keep sticking with that strategy and hopefully yeah,

2311
01:57:55,107 --> 01:57:57,427
Speaker 18: we just keep picking up the points. But yeah, I

2312
01:57:57,467 --> 01:58:01,107
Speaker 18: think we're starting to show it's clicking and things are

2313
01:58:01,107 --> 01:58:03,147
Speaker 18: starting to move in the right direction and I think

2314
01:58:03,147 --> 01:58:05,307
Speaker 18: we're a team that can beat anyone and we'll be

2315
01:58:05,387 --> 01:58:06,307
Speaker 18: a force if we can carry.

2316
01:58:06,747 --> 01:58:09,387
Speaker 2: That's pretty happy coach Paul Temple after the win yesterday.

2317
01:58:09,467 --> 01:58:12,587
Speaker 2: Busy week ahead for the Wellington Phoenix Women. Thursday night

2318

2319
01:58:15,587 --> 01:58:18,547
Speaker 2: and they'll stay in Australia and head to South Australia

2320

2337
01:59:11,907 --> 01:59:15,107
Speaker 2: o'clock with Summer Afternoons. Huge thanks to Libby for producing

2338

Speaker 2: Sport returns next Saturday. I think we just carry on.

2340
01:59:22,147 --> 01:59:24,027
Speaker 2: There's no need to stop us there. We didn't stop

2341
01:59:24,107 --> 01:59:26,547
Speaker 2: over the Christmas New Year breaks, so no need to

2342
01:59:26,547 --> 01:59:29,627
Speaker 2: stop now. We'll be back next Saturday. Song to take

2343
01:59:29,707 --> 01:59:33,547
Speaker 2: us out today, Well, Dodor Anyodomaty just inspired me, not

2344
01:59:33,707 --> 01:59:36,307
Speaker 2: necessarily to run an ultramarathon, but certainly to find a

2345
01:59:36,467 --> 01:59:40,187
Speaker 2: song that fits. And I thought about the way Forest

2346
01:59:40,307 --> 01:59:44,587
Speaker 2: Gump ran across America in that movie, and the song

2347
01:59:44,707 --> 01:59:46,507
Speaker 2: that was playing while that was happening. I thought it'd

2348
01:59:46,507 --> 01:59:49,707
Speaker 2: applied pretty much to Doctor Aniodo Matti as well. Not

2349
01:59:49,827 --> 01:59:52,107
Speaker 2: that he was on empty. He was running with a

2350
01:59:52,147 --> 01:59:53,867
Speaker 2: full tank, by the sounds of it, right across the

2351
01:59:53,947 --> 01:59:57,507
Speaker 2: calendar year of twenty twenty four. Running on empty, of course,

2352
01:59:57,827 --> 02:00:00,427
Speaker 2: Jackson Brown. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. See you

2353
