1
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 --> 00:00:11,787
Speaker 1: from Newstalk ZEDB.

3
00:00:12,707 --> 00:00:15,667
Speaker 2: Good to be with you, talking some sport until three

4
00:00:15,707 --> 00:00:19,347
Speaker 2: o'clock this afternoon. Cricket to start us off today, the

5
00:00:19,347 --> 00:00:22,707
Speaker 2: black Caps and Sri Lanka move into fifty over mode

6
00:00:23,147 --> 00:00:26,507
Speaker 2: off the back of their T twenty International series which

7
00:00:26,547 --> 00:00:29,387
Speaker 2: wrapped up in Nelson a few days ago. The first

8
00:00:29,387 --> 00:00:32,067
Speaker 2: of three one day internationals is at the Basement Reserve

9
00:00:32,107 --> 00:00:34,787
Speaker 2: and Wellington tomorrow. Man of the series and the T

10
00:00:34,987 --> 00:00:38,987
Speaker 2: twenty Internationals was Jacob Duffy. What a series he had.

11
00:00:39,427 --> 00:00:41,627
Speaker 2: He's standing by the chat to us not only about that,

12
00:00:41,747 --> 00:00:44,667
Speaker 2: but also about what the future might hold, because it

13
00:00:44,667 --> 00:00:47,347
Speaker 2: would be fair to say Jacob Duffy has had to

14
00:00:47,387 --> 00:00:50,907
Speaker 2: be fairly patient. He has been around for a long time.

15
00:00:50,947 --> 00:00:56,067
Speaker 2: He debuted for Otago Jacob Duffy in twenty twelve, thirteen

16
00:00:56,147 --> 00:00:58,987
Speaker 2: years ago, and it's had to wait and wait and wait,

17
00:00:59,027 --> 00:01:00,667
Speaker 2: and he's got the odd game here and there. But

18
00:01:01,267 --> 00:01:04,347
Speaker 2: when you've got guys like Tim Southy, Trent Bolt, Neil Wagner,

19
00:01:04,827 --> 00:01:08,027
Speaker 2: Matt Henry in front of you, I guess your opportunities

20
00:01:08,027 --> 00:01:10,987
Speaker 2: are a bit limited. But now with a number of

21
00:01:10,987 --> 00:01:13,227
Speaker 2: those players pretty much all of them apart from Matt

22
00:01:13,227 --> 00:01:16,867
Speaker 2: Henry gone. Jacob Duffy might be looking at a prolonged

23
00:01:16,867 --> 00:01:19,427
Speaker 2: stint in our white ball side, and who knows, maybe

24
00:01:19,467 --> 00:01:22,267
Speaker 2: even in the red bull side as well. So he's

25
00:01:22,347 --> 00:01:24,827
Speaker 2: our leadoff guest today, Jacob Duffy. Then I want to

26
00:01:24,827 --> 00:01:28,507
Speaker 2: get your assessment on whether we might be entering a

27
00:01:28,547 --> 00:01:32,867
Speaker 2: fairly exciting new wave of black Caps cricket, because, as

28
00:01:32,867 --> 00:01:36,827
Speaker 2: I mentioned, with those bowlers leaving and other players from

29
00:01:36,867 --> 00:01:41,027
Speaker 2: the Black Cap side dipping out and even you know,

30
00:01:41,147 --> 00:01:43,587
Speaker 2: doing other things like came Williamson and Devin Conway are

31
00:01:43,587 --> 00:01:45,667
Speaker 2: at the moment, so they're not playing for our white

32
00:01:45,667 --> 00:01:47,747
Speaker 2: ball sides. I looked at that team the other night.

33
00:01:47,947 --> 00:01:51,107
Speaker 2: This is a fresh looking side. This is a pretty

34
00:01:51,147 --> 00:01:55,747
Speaker 2: exciting bunch of younger, less experienced players who could actually

35
00:01:55,827 --> 00:01:57,387
Speaker 2: go on to do some pretty cool things for us.

36
00:01:57,427 --> 00:01:58,747
Speaker 2: So I want to talk to about that. One of

37
00:01:58,747 --> 00:02:01,507
Speaker 2: them Bevan Jacobs. He didn't get a game unfortunately in

38
00:02:01,547 --> 00:02:03,507
Speaker 2: the T twenty side. He's gone back to Walkland. Now

39
00:02:03,507 --> 00:02:05,867
Speaker 2: he's not in the one day squad, but he had

40
00:02:05,907 --> 00:02:08,507
Speaker 2: a day at Eden Park yes today, fifty eight or

41
00:02:08,547 --> 00:02:10,467
Speaker 2: thirty balls and then one of the best catches you'll

42
00:02:10,467 --> 00:02:14,787
Speaker 2: ever see as Canterbury basically collapsed. They lost six for

43
00:02:14,987 --> 00:02:18,467
Speaker 2: nine in the space of just over two overs. Bevan

44
00:02:18,547 --> 00:02:20,347
Speaker 2: Jacobs b J Jacobs some call him, but I think

45
00:02:20,347 --> 00:02:23,467
Speaker 2: he goes by Bevan. He is with us after two

46
00:02:23,507 --> 00:02:27,187
Speaker 2: o'clock this afternoon. Other matters around today. An exciting year

47
00:02:27,227 --> 00:02:30,947
Speaker 2: ahead for New Zealand football fans. The All Whites have

48
00:02:31,107 --> 00:02:35,067
Speaker 2: the semis and final of Oceania World Cup qualifying coming

49
00:02:35,147 --> 00:02:37,947
Speaker 2: up in March. Coach Darren Baisley with us on that,

50
00:02:38,067 --> 00:02:40,707
Speaker 2: A huge year ahead. The Wellington Phoenix women back at

51
00:02:40,707 --> 00:02:42,547
Speaker 2: home this afternoon, potty to a park. They take on

52

Speaker 2: Perth Glory from four o'clock. Striker Olivia Ferguson with us

53
00:02:46,947 --> 00:02:50,867
Speaker 2: on that, and Ossie corresponded. Adam Peacock in his regular slot.

54
00:02:51,027 --> 00:02:52,507
Speaker 2: A lot of live sport to keep an eye on.

55
00:02:52,627 --> 00:02:57,067
Speaker 2: Test cricket at the SCG Australia and India underway in

56
00:02:57,107 --> 00:02:59,627
Speaker 2: the next half hour on day two. There India all

Speaker 2: out one eighty five. Yesterday Australia are losing their first

58
00:03:02,667 --> 00:03:05,787
Speaker 2: week at just before stumps and plenty of heat in

59
00:03:05,827 --> 00:03:08,467
Speaker 2: this one, so we'll keep close eyes on the SCG.

60
00:03:08,547 --> 00:03:11,267

Speaker 2: get the remaining two quarterfinals done before they can move

Speaker 2: up there. Jacob Duffy is with us. Congrats on your figures, mate,

99
00:05:13,387 --> 00:05:15,747
Speaker 2: How happy have you been with your bowling over the

100
00:05:15,827 --> 00:05:18,947
Speaker 2: last week in these T twenty matches, Yeah.

101
00:05:18,787 --> 00:05:19,387
Speaker 6: Mate, it's been.

102
00:05:19,627 --> 00:05:20,267
Speaker 3: It's been very good.

103
00:05:20,307 --> 00:05:22,387
Speaker 6: It's coming out well.

104
00:05:22,467 --> 00:05:22,667
Speaker 3: Yeah.

105
00:05:22,667 --> 00:05:24,547
Speaker 6: It's just nice to get a whole series put together

106
00:05:24,587 --> 00:05:27,747
Speaker 6: and they'll see contribute to a couple sort of game

107
00:05:27,787 --> 00:05:30,307
Speaker 6: winning game winning influences too, and then obviously get the

108
00:05:30,347 --> 00:05:33,187
Speaker 6: series winning against what's saying, you know, pretty very good

109
00:05:33,227 --> 00:05:36,907
Speaker 6: side with the high quality betting order and some skillful bowlers,

110
00:05:36,947 --> 00:05:38,547
Speaker 6: so it's bloody good.

111
00:05:38,587 --> 00:05:42,107
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you're preparing for T twenty bowling, just the

112
00:05:42,147 --> 00:05:44,987
Speaker 2: four overs, what is your strategy? What are you?

113
00:05:45,347 --> 00:05:45,667
Speaker 7: What are you?

114
00:05:45,867 --> 00:05:48,907
Speaker 2: What are your bowling plans? In T twenty cricket.

115
00:05:49,867 --> 00:05:51,827
Speaker 6: That's a great question. They changed quite a lot to

116
00:05:51,827 --> 00:05:53,987
Speaker 6: you on us at the start. I think a big

117
00:05:54,027 --> 00:05:56,787
Speaker 6: part of it is still trying to sort of bring

118
00:05:56,787 --> 00:05:59,907
Speaker 6: stumps into play, had a good length. I think sometimes

119
00:05:59,947 --> 00:06:01,547
Speaker 6: you get carried away with trying to bowl but too

120
00:06:01,627 --> 00:06:03,907
Speaker 6: fast or too heavy and actually you can drag you

121
00:06:03,947 --> 00:06:06,307
Speaker 6: it short. So top of the stumps is always sort

122
00:06:06,307 --> 00:06:08,907
Speaker 6: of my cue card. And especially these sh link and beetters,

123
00:06:08,907 --> 00:06:10,427
Speaker 6: they're quite good on their back foot, so they try

124
00:06:10,467 --> 00:06:13,067
Speaker 6: to get you quite square, so sort of bringing the

125
00:06:13,147 --> 00:06:14,827
Speaker 6: bringing them forward a little bit, you know, using my

126
00:06:14,947 --> 00:06:17,387
Speaker 6: outswing the in the first few overs, and then obviously

127
00:06:17,427 --> 00:06:19,587
Speaker 6: adapting from there. It's all about adapting to sort of

128
00:06:20,187 --> 00:06:22,307
Speaker 6: sort of the way they're playing. They're coming pretty hard.

129
00:06:22,347 --> 00:06:22,907
Speaker 3: If we need to.

130
00:06:22,827 --> 00:06:24,627
Speaker 6: Close out and get a bit more defensive, you can

131
00:06:24,747 --> 00:06:26,587
Speaker 6: use your Sla bars and Yorkers and stuff.

132
00:06:26,307 --> 00:06:26,867
Speaker 3: In that regard.

133
00:06:26,907 --> 00:06:29,827
Speaker 6: But starting off as all starts off pretty similar, and

134
00:06:29,867 --> 00:06:31,347
Speaker 6: then we sort of adapt and role from there.

135
00:06:31,427 --> 00:06:33,707
Speaker 2: Really, are you always looking to take wickets?

136
00:06:36,147 --> 00:06:36,347
Speaker 8: Yes?

137
00:06:36,427 --> 00:06:36,627
Speaker 3: And no?

138
00:06:38,147 --> 00:06:40,747
Speaker 6: I guess like yes is the main answer to that.

139
00:06:40,787 --> 00:06:44,267
Speaker 6: We are, But sometimes I guess that comes through defense.

140
00:06:45,147 --> 00:06:47,387
Speaker 6: You know, these guys, you know, once they get going,

141
00:06:47,427 --> 00:06:48,747
Speaker 6: we saw in that first game, they just want to

142
00:06:48,787 --> 00:06:50,587
Speaker 6: keep hitting boundaries, which is you know, that's the name

143
00:06:50,627 --> 00:06:54,187
Speaker 6: of the game. So sometimes denying that boundaries the more

144
00:06:54,187 --> 00:06:56,627
Speaker 6: aggressive options. So if we can deny those boundaries and

145
00:06:56,827 --> 00:06:58,827
Speaker 6: build that pressure through that way, I guess that's that's

146
00:06:58,827 --> 00:07:00,067
Speaker 6: a form of offense in itself.

147
00:07:00,587 --> 00:07:03,907
Speaker 2: And you often hear commentators others talk about, you know,

148
00:07:03,947 --> 00:07:06,787
Speaker 2: getting out of and over if you've for good balls.

149
00:07:06,787 --> 00:07:08,507
Speaker 2: We know T twenty can change in the space of

150
00:07:08,667 --> 00:07:11,827
Speaker 2: just a couple of deliveries. You know, do. You always

151
00:07:11,907 --> 00:07:14,507
Speaker 2: just have to be cognizant of the fact that yeah,

152
00:07:14,587 --> 00:07:17,467
Speaker 2: that batters can go bang bang if you're not right

153
00:07:17,507 --> 00:07:18,387
Speaker 2: where you need to be.

154
00:07:19,307 --> 00:07:22,067
Speaker 6: Oh, one hundred percent. Mate. You often get to say

155
00:07:22,067 --> 00:07:23,627
Speaker 6: if you do good two or three dots, so guy

156
00:07:23,627 --> 00:07:24,947
Speaker 6: as a bowl, you get a little bit at chy,

157
00:07:25,467 --> 00:07:28,027
Speaker 6: just feeling you know, like, okay, he's he's probably lining

158
00:07:28,107 --> 00:07:30,267
Speaker 6: up here. That's kind of a good We used to

159
00:07:30,267 --> 00:07:34,827
Speaker 6: call it a gooseball get out of strife ball, where

160
00:07:35,027 --> 00:07:37,107
Speaker 6: you know you might set a defensive field, like you

161
00:07:37,187 --> 00:07:39,107
Speaker 6: might have your two guys back on the leag side

162
00:07:39,107 --> 00:07:41,467
Speaker 6: and then try him on the back heel sort of thing,

163
00:07:41,587 --> 00:07:43,827
Speaker 6: just to you know, get off that pressure and Olivia,

164
00:07:43,867 --> 00:07:45,867
Speaker 6: but pressure off yourself because you know he's coming for you.

165
00:07:45,987 --> 00:07:48,067
Speaker 6: But then again, like I say, that can be the

166
00:07:48,147 --> 00:07:51,227
Speaker 6: time where if you hold strong as well and make

167
00:07:51,267 --> 00:07:53,467
Speaker 6: them play a tough shot off a good ball, then

168
00:07:53,987 --> 00:07:57,267
Speaker 6: that sort of brings you taking abilities and to play too.

169
00:07:57,347 --> 00:08:00,547
Speaker 6: So it's really summing up the situation and playing each

170
00:08:00,547 --> 00:08:02,987
Speaker 6: ball in its merits. I have to say that's probably

171
00:08:03,027 --> 00:08:05,387
Speaker 6: my first series. I think it is my first game

172
00:08:05,427 --> 00:08:07,507
Speaker 6: is actually playing with me and having a guy like

173
00:08:07,587 --> 00:08:10,347
Speaker 6: that there with you. Helping you out, talking you through it,

174
00:08:10,667 --> 00:08:13,067
Speaker 6: discussing in between overs, and we.

175
00:08:13,107 --> 00:08:13,627
Speaker 3: Just talk a lot.

176
00:08:13,627 --> 00:08:15,827
Speaker 6: He's a guy that loves his loves his bowling, and

177
00:08:15,987 --> 00:08:17,587
Speaker 6: loves talking the game. So me and him got on

178
00:08:17,667 --> 00:08:20,547
Speaker 6: really well on that front. So to keep those communication

179
00:08:20,667 --> 00:08:22,787
Speaker 6: discussions going was really awesome for me.

180
00:08:22,987 --> 00:08:25,787
Speaker 2: Outstanding and you're heading one forty K quite regularly now

181
00:08:26,227 --> 00:08:28,627
Speaker 2: it always have been, I presume, but yeah, I saw

182
00:08:28,627 --> 00:08:30,547
Speaker 2: the speed gun a couple of times. You're you're getting

183
00:08:30,627 --> 00:08:31,907
Speaker 2: up up and over one forty.

184
00:08:33,067 --> 00:08:36,227
Speaker 6: Yeah. I actually happened a couple of years ago with

185
00:08:37,027 --> 00:08:39,667
Speaker 6: Shane Jurgensen. I was away on a trip, were in Dubai.

186
00:08:40,187 --> 00:08:42,467
Speaker 6: I didn't actually play, but I was on the sidelines

187
00:08:42,467 --> 00:08:44,467
Speaker 6: and working with him, and he literally he just gave

188
00:08:44,467 --> 00:08:46,107
Speaker 6: me a couple of sort of things about running in

189
00:08:46,947 --> 00:08:48,867
Speaker 6: sort of on the toes instead of on the instead

190
00:08:48,867 --> 00:08:51,427
Speaker 6: of my heels, and the angle on my front arm

191
00:08:51,547 --> 00:08:54,787
Speaker 6: being more tools of target as opposed upright, And honestly,

192
00:08:54,827 --> 00:08:58,587
Speaker 6: I don't haven't looked back since then. It's kind of weirdly,

193
00:08:58,587 --> 00:08:59,947
Speaker 6: it instantly gave me sort of five K.

194
00:08:59,987 --> 00:09:00,707
Speaker 3: There's always sort of.

195
00:09:00,707 --> 00:09:03,347
Speaker 6: At low thirties, but now I'm sort of hovering in

196
00:09:03,347 --> 00:09:05,667
Speaker 6: mid to high one thirty is pretty regular touching one forty.

197
00:09:05,787 --> 00:09:08,707
Speaker 6: So yeah, big shout out to Jerker because that was

198
00:09:08,787 --> 00:09:11,147
Speaker 6: that was quite huge and sort of how it shaped

199
00:09:11,147 --> 00:09:13,267
Speaker 6: micro has helped my rebul game massively and then off,

200
00:09:13,267 --> 00:09:16,307
Speaker 6: so you can at international level if you're moving the

201
00:09:16,307 --> 00:09:18,747
Speaker 6: ball with sort of one thirty five to one thirty eight,

202
00:09:18,787 --> 00:09:21,027
Speaker 6: that's you know, it makes for handy sort of stuff.

203
00:09:21,067 --> 00:09:23,227
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. You've been running for a while. Your

204
00:09:23,267 --> 00:09:28,187
Speaker 2: debute for Otigo twenty twelve have been consistently excellent domestically

205
00:09:28,347 --> 00:09:30,907
Speaker 2: for ages. You've had to be patient though, with Tim

206
00:09:30,947 --> 00:09:32,747
Speaker 2: Southy and others in the pecking order ahead of you.

207
00:09:33,067 --> 00:09:35,827
Speaker 2: How challenging has it been to be to be patient

208
00:09:35,947 --> 00:09:38,787
Speaker 2: and wait for international opportunities?

209
00:09:40,667 --> 00:09:42,987
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I said, I get, I said a little bit,

210
00:09:43,027 --> 00:09:46,067
Speaker 6: but I haven't really viewed it like that. I love

211
00:09:46,107 --> 00:09:49,627
Speaker 6: playing for Tigo. I've loved you know, competing and growing

212
00:09:49,707 --> 00:09:53,147
Speaker 6: sort of the program down there. Obviously New Zealand's always

213
00:09:53,147 --> 00:09:56,107
Speaker 6: been the goal, But hasn't you say? I haven't always dominated,

214
00:09:56,187 --> 00:09:57,827
Speaker 6: To be fair, it has been ups and downs, and

215
00:09:58,507 --> 00:10:00,467
Speaker 6: just like anyone, you go for your trials and populations.

216
00:10:00,547 --> 00:10:03,387
Speaker 6: But I guess really in the last sort of two

217
00:10:03,427 --> 00:10:08,027
Speaker 6: or three years, really start to feel like I belong

218
00:10:08,027 --> 00:10:11,667
Speaker 6: at the national level certainly, and you have been hungry

219
00:10:11,667 --> 00:10:14,067
Speaker 6: for more. I guess the Test matches haven't quite happened

220
00:10:14,067 --> 00:10:17,467
Speaker 6: for me well yet. Hopefully they will one day. But yeah,

221
00:10:17,467 --> 00:10:20,107
Speaker 6: I guess seeing Tim go about it, it's it's been

222
00:10:20,147 --> 00:10:21,907
Speaker 6: a huge honor to sit behind him and watching him

223
00:10:21,947 --> 00:10:25,867
Speaker 6: go about his business. And I guess he was holding

224
00:10:25,907 --> 00:10:27,227
Speaker 6: me out of the team there for a long time,

225
00:10:27,267 --> 00:10:28,827
Speaker 6: but I couldn't think of a better bloke to be

226
00:10:28,867 --> 00:10:32,547
Speaker 6: doing it because he treated me with huge respect and

227
00:10:32,587 --> 00:10:35,427
Speaker 6: will always helping me grow my game too, so I

228
00:10:35,507 --> 00:10:38,467
Speaker 6: owe him a lot in that regard. So I do

229
00:10:38,507 --> 00:10:41,187
Speaker 6: feel like, you know, I'm ready, ready to take a

230
00:10:41,227 --> 00:10:44,787
Speaker 6: step up and a bit more responsibility hopefully, And you know,

231
00:10:44,827 --> 00:10:47,787
Speaker 6: obviously was selective taken going forward, but I'd love to

232
00:10:47,827 --> 00:10:49,387
Speaker 6: be more of a sort of permanent fixture in the

233
00:10:49,387 --> 00:10:50,227
Speaker 6: Black Caps, shit, n't you?

234
00:10:50,627 --> 00:10:53,307
Speaker 2: And in all formats, because what I mean, you're all

235
00:10:53,387 --> 00:10:55,907
Speaker 2: but three hundred first class wickets, so you read bull

236
00:10:55,947 --> 00:10:59,427
Speaker 2: bowling's obviously been a strength as well down in Otago.

237
00:10:59,507 --> 00:11:02,427
Speaker 2: Are you ambitious in a red bull sense for New

238
00:11:02,507 --> 00:11:03,227
Speaker 2: Zealand as well?

239
00:11:04,147 --> 00:11:07,907
Speaker 6: Oh one hundred. I'd say that's probably my potentially my

240
00:11:07,907 --> 00:11:09,867
Speaker 6: best format in the last sort of four or five years,

241
00:11:10,667 --> 00:11:12,907
Speaker 6: plugging away doing you holding a lot of overs for

242
00:11:12,907 --> 00:11:16,027
Speaker 6: a tigo and you know taking it for sure what

243
00:11:16,107 --> 00:11:18,827
Speaker 6: gets it in the most recent few years anyway, especially

244
00:11:18,907 --> 00:11:22,187
Speaker 6: so I've lined up a county state next year for Worcesters,

245
00:11:22,267 --> 00:11:24,387
Speaker 6: so we got to go test my skills over and

246
00:11:24,427 --> 00:11:27,467
Speaker 6: somewhere else and that as in Barbe Tour next year,

247
00:11:27,547 --> 00:11:29,827
Speaker 6: or you know, be desperate to make a debut over

248
00:11:29,827 --> 00:11:32,267
Speaker 6: there hopefully you know, fingers crossed and even know what happens.

249
00:11:32,307 --> 00:11:35,347
Speaker 6: But yeah, no, I'm dead keen to play that test

250
00:11:35,347 --> 00:11:37,387
Speaker 6: cricket and still probably the pinnacle for me.

251
00:11:37,747 --> 00:11:40,547
Speaker 2: And you mentioned a word before, I'm hunger or being

252
00:11:40,627 --> 00:11:43,827
Speaker 2: hungry for more opportunities, you know, getting a string of

253
00:11:43,867 --> 00:11:46,667
Speaker 2: games as you have just recently, and I guess across

254
00:11:46,707 --> 00:11:48,707
Speaker 2: the calendar year of twenty twenty four when you were

255
00:11:48,907 --> 00:11:52,667
Speaker 2: featuring more prominently, does that make you hungrier to wear

256
00:11:52,667 --> 00:11:53,787
Speaker 2: the black cat more often?

257
00:11:54,747 --> 00:11:57,347
Speaker 6: That doesn't make a hundreds of sense. I've been on

258
00:11:57,387 --> 00:12:00,387
Speaker 6: a lot of tours now and yeah, I've probably carried

259
00:12:00,387 --> 00:12:03,107
Speaker 6: the drinks more than I've played, so that makes you

260
00:12:03,187 --> 00:12:05,227
Speaker 6: hunger in itself. But then obviously you taste a little

261
00:12:05,227 --> 00:12:07,667
Speaker 6: bit of success and you know what it's like to

262
00:12:07,707 --> 00:12:10,307
Speaker 6: actually add value to a team and a team series win.

263
00:12:11,387 --> 00:12:11,787
Speaker 3: Yeah it does.

264
00:12:11,947 --> 00:12:14,347
Speaker 6: It does make you want more. And like I said,

265
00:12:14,347 --> 00:12:15,867
Speaker 6: I feel like, you know, it's my time. I'd love

266
00:12:15,907 --> 00:12:17,827
Speaker 6: to be sort of a permanent fixture in the setup.

267
00:12:17,907 --> 00:12:20,587
Speaker 6: So I'm just going to focus on keep doing what

268
00:12:20,627 --> 00:12:22,227
Speaker 6: I can do and bring my best foot forward and

269
00:12:22,507 --> 00:12:24,627
Speaker 6: I guess let the rest take care of itself.

270
00:12:24,827 --> 00:12:26,787
Speaker 2: And does this feel like a bit of a new

271
00:12:26,907 --> 00:12:29,547
Speaker 2: wave in the New Zealand side? I look at yourself,

272
00:12:29,707 --> 00:12:33,507
Speaker 2: Zach Folks, Mitch Hay, Tim Robinson, Bevan Jacobs although he

273
00:12:33,547 --> 00:12:36,067
Speaker 2: didn't play, and Nathan Smith in the in the squad

274
00:12:36,107 --> 00:12:37,947
Speaker 2: also for the one days. A lot of new faces

275
00:12:37,947 --> 00:12:39,707
Speaker 2: there and new captain Mitch sent It. Does it feel

276
00:12:39,707 --> 00:12:43,067
Speaker 2: like a bit of a new wave of black Cap cricketers.

277
00:12:44,107 --> 00:12:47,347
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it certainly does. That's well the way I say,

278
00:12:47,387 --> 00:12:48,347
Speaker 6: it's pretty much exciting.

279
00:12:48,347 --> 00:12:48,507
Speaker 3: Mate.

280
00:12:48,507 --> 00:12:51,987
Speaker 6: They've got some seriously talented cricketers. And then Aaron Rutsens

281
00:12:52,187 --> 00:12:54,987
Speaker 6: Roland say he's an old boy yet either, so yeah

282
00:12:55,027 --> 00:12:57,187
Speaker 6: we've got some that that bad line out seriously calend that.

283
00:12:57,267 --> 00:12:58,747
Speaker 6: I think you saw a glimpse of Robbie. I know

284
00:12:58,867 --> 00:13:01,387
Speaker 6: he's got more more to come. And then you saw

285
00:13:01,427 --> 00:13:03,827
Speaker 6: what Mitch as Mitchie did in that second game, and

286
00:13:03,907 --> 00:13:06,347
Speaker 6: folks here was outstanding in Sri Lanka. When he play

287
00:13:06,427 --> 00:13:09,627
Speaker 6: those games over there, he probably don't seen. He probably

288
00:13:09,667 --> 00:13:12,147
Speaker 6: didn't have the series he would have wanted this time.

289
00:13:12,187 --> 00:13:14,827
Speaker 6: But he's what twenty two and he you know, he's

290
00:13:14,827 --> 00:13:16,747
Speaker 6: got the head of him like he's played one hundred games.

291
00:13:16,747 --> 00:13:19,827
Speaker 6: So it's exciting. I hope New Zealand. Yeah, New Zealand

292
00:13:19,827 --> 00:13:22,507
Speaker 6: cricket fans get round. I think we've seen just by

293
00:13:22,507 --> 00:13:25,147
Speaker 6: a share turnout of the crowds that they're enjoying the

294
00:13:25,187 --> 00:13:27,787
Speaker 6: brand of cricket we're playing. So I think I think

295
00:13:27,787 --> 00:13:30,227
Speaker 6: it's exciting. And you know there's still guys like well

296
00:13:30,227 --> 00:13:32,187
Speaker 6: I ought to come back in and I see Kj's

297
00:13:32,227 --> 00:13:35,427
Speaker 6: bowling beautifully as well, So there's plenty of depth and

298
00:13:35,467 --> 00:13:37,867
Speaker 6: plenty of talent floating around them. It's good sience in

299
00:13:37,867 --> 00:13:38,507
Speaker 6: NEWSICALD cricket.

300
00:13:38,547 --> 00:13:40,427
Speaker 2: I think indeed more sounds like a packed house at

301
00:13:40,427 --> 00:13:42,627
Speaker 2: the basin on Sunday as well. So as you move

302
00:13:42,667 --> 00:13:45,587
Speaker 2: from the t twenty format into the fifty over stuff.

303
00:13:46,187 --> 00:13:49,027
Speaker 2: Go from what your twenty four deliveries to sixty. How

304
00:13:49,107 --> 00:13:52,467
Speaker 2: much of your T twenty success can you take into

305
00:13:52,507 --> 00:13:54,027
Speaker 2: the fifty over format?

306
00:13:55,107 --> 00:13:57,107
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think take a lot of confidence just to know,

307
00:13:57,307 --> 00:14:00,707
Speaker 6: you know, you're playing similar group of players. We had

308
00:14:00,787 --> 00:14:03,387
Speaker 6: reasonable success over in Trilanka recently two and that one

309
00:14:03,427 --> 00:14:07,467
Speaker 6: day series too, so I definitely can obviously play at

310
00:14:07,467 --> 00:14:08,907
Speaker 6: the base and we get a bit more bounce as well,

311
00:14:09,027 --> 00:14:12,067
Speaker 6: so that'll suit us quite nicely compared to those SriLankan wickets.

312
00:14:12,107 --> 00:14:15,307
Speaker 6: But like I said, we're actually at Schlankan toon. Know

313
00:14:15,307 --> 00:14:17,947
Speaker 6: if you saw the the ODI teams of the year

314
00:14:17,987 --> 00:14:20,267
Speaker 6: and I think they had four players in it. Yeah,

315
00:14:20,427 --> 00:14:21,987
Speaker 6: you know they're top three betters all in it. So

316
00:14:22,747 --> 00:14:24,187
Speaker 6: we're up against the hell of a side. But I

317
00:14:24,267 --> 00:14:26,827
Speaker 6: think we'll be right after the fight and come off

318
00:14:26,867 --> 00:14:29,627
Speaker 6: some success, which is good. Just brings that sort of

319
00:14:29,667 --> 00:14:32,107
Speaker 6: confidence knowing you can, knowing you can compete and do

320
00:14:32,187 --> 00:14:32,467
Speaker 6: well at.

321
00:14:32,427 --> 00:14:34,907
Speaker 2: This sevil and at the end of the series there'll

322
00:14:34,947 --> 00:14:38,027
Speaker 2: be a squad name for the champions trophy next month

323
00:14:38,067 --> 00:14:42,107
Speaker 2: and into March, presumably. Kind of play well in these

324
00:14:42,147 --> 00:14:44,507
Speaker 2: three matches and get your name on that list.

325
00:14:45,227 --> 00:14:46,827
Speaker 3: Oh may that'd be yeah, for sure.

326
00:14:47,187 --> 00:14:48,827
Speaker 6: You know that's a nice s event. That's something I

327
00:14:48,867 --> 00:14:51,427
Speaker 6: haven't been to before, but I desperately love to go

328
00:14:51,507 --> 00:14:53,947
Speaker 6: to that and put my hand up and you know,

329
00:14:54,827 --> 00:14:56,987
Speaker 6: potentially bring home some sivil with New Zealand too. That's

330
00:14:57,347 --> 00:14:59,307
Speaker 6: what that's what it's all about, and winning games of

331
00:14:59,347 --> 00:15:01,267
Speaker 6: coreer for your country and yeah, I definitely love to

332
00:15:01,307 --> 00:15:01,787
Speaker 6: be part of that.

333
00:15:02,267 --> 00:15:04,427
Speaker 2: Well, we've love watching you in the T twenty series

334
00:15:04,467 --> 00:15:06,387
Speaker 2: against Sri Lanka. Jacob. All the best for the the

335
00:15:06,467 --> 00:15:08,347
Speaker 2: other fifty over games over the next week or so

336
00:15:08,547 --> 00:15:11,547
Speaker 2: and beyond into the next segment of a pretty exciting summer.

337
00:15:11,547 --> 00:15:12,827
Speaker 2: Thanks for taking the time for a chat.

338
00:15:13,107 --> 00:15:14,627
Speaker 6: No, thanks mate, no worries. I appreciate it.

339
00:15:14,667 --> 00:15:17,387
Speaker 2: No, I appreciate your time, Jacob. Jacob Duffy. There off

340
00:15:17,427 --> 00:15:20,467
Speaker 2: the back of a terrific series. Those numbers for T

341
00:15:20,667 --> 00:15:24,867
Speaker 2: twenty are exceptional. Three for twenty one, four for fifteen,

342
00:15:24,947 --> 00:15:27,707
Speaker 2: one for thirty eight wickets at eight point twenty five

343
00:15:27,787 --> 00:15:30,347
Speaker 2: and only five and a half runs per over. You've

344
00:15:30,347 --> 00:15:32,707
Speaker 2: heard from Jacob Duffy. I'm keen for your reaction now

345
00:15:32,827 --> 00:15:35,987
Speaker 2: on his performances, we can run a bit of a

346
00:15:36,107 --> 00:15:40,787
Speaker 2: Jacob Duffy appreciation segment eight hundred and eighty ten eighty,

347
00:15:41,467 --> 00:15:44,907
Speaker 2: but a wider cricketing discussion as well, But just on Duffy,

348
00:15:45,507 --> 00:15:48,627
Speaker 2: he's had to be really patient, really patient. He's thirty now.

349
00:15:49,947 --> 00:15:51,867
Speaker 2: But there have been guys ahead of them. He debooters

350
00:15:51,907 --> 00:15:53,907
Speaker 2: have said on them there back in twenty twelve. It's

351
00:15:53,947 --> 00:15:57,787
Speaker 2: been around for twelve thirteen summers and only really now

352
00:15:57,987 --> 00:16:00,787
Speaker 2: starting to get a consistent run in the side. I

353
00:16:00,827 --> 00:16:03,427
Speaker 2: think I saw a fact or a stat during the

354
00:16:03,507 --> 00:16:07,147
Speaker 2: week that that until last year twenty twenty four, it

355
00:16:07,147 --> 00:16:10,427
Speaker 2: had hardly, if at all, played, you know, more than

356
00:16:10,467 --> 00:16:12,707
Speaker 2: two or three consecutive matches for New Zealand. It was

357
00:16:12,747 --> 00:16:14,227
Speaker 2: sort of you know, he came in for a game

358
00:16:14,267 --> 00:16:16,187
Speaker 2: and then he was left out, and he even said

359
00:16:16,227 --> 00:16:19,027
Speaker 2: himself there didn't He carried a lot of drinks, went

360
00:16:19,147 --> 00:16:22,067
Speaker 2: on tours, but was always that guy who I guess

361
00:16:22,227 --> 00:16:25,947
Speaker 2: was the twelfth or thirteenth guy, because there were other

362
00:16:26,227 --> 00:16:29,707
Speaker 2: more established bowlers ahead of them. But now they've kind

363
00:16:29,747 --> 00:16:33,907
Speaker 2: of cleared out, haven't they. He was terrific this past week,

364
00:16:34,027 --> 00:16:36,067
Speaker 2: Jacob Duffy. Now let's look sept for a bit of

365
00:16:36,107 --> 00:16:38,267
Speaker 2: a run on the side. He might also be in

366
00:16:38,387 --> 00:16:42,907
Speaker 2: contention for that Test site this year and beyond. So

367
00:16:43,027 --> 00:16:45,267
Speaker 2: thoughts on Jacob Duffy. I know those of you in

368
00:16:45,347 --> 00:16:48,147
Speaker 2: the southern part of the country have had big raps

369
00:16:48,187 --> 00:16:50,947
Speaker 2: on him for a while. You can give voice to

370
00:16:50,987 --> 00:16:52,987
Speaker 2: those of you like on eight hundred and eighty ten

371
00:16:53,107 --> 00:16:59,067
Speaker 2: eighty and in a wider sense, how exciting is the

372
00:16:59,187 --> 00:17:01,387
Speaker 2: future of this Black Cap side. I think we've got

373
00:17:01,387 --> 00:17:04,227
Speaker 2: a glimpse of it this last week. I looked at

374
00:17:04,227 --> 00:17:06,747
Speaker 2: that team during the week when we were playing T

375
00:17:06,907 --> 00:17:10,667
Speaker 2: twenties and the number of new faces or newer faces

376
00:17:11,747 --> 00:17:15,667
Speaker 2: was really quite exciting. Jacob Duffy obviously, Zach Folks, Mitch Hay,

377
00:17:16,347 --> 00:17:20,547
Speaker 2: Tim Robinson, Nathan Smith who obviously had a Test debut

378
00:17:21,027 --> 00:17:23,667
Speaker 2: against England but was in the side and is in

379
00:17:23,707 --> 00:17:25,627
Speaker 2: the side for the One day as well. Didn't play

380
00:17:25,627 --> 00:17:27,587
Speaker 2: any the T twenties. Bevin Jacobs. I'm not sure what

381
00:17:27,707 --> 00:17:29,467
Speaker 2: was going on there. I'm not sure why you'd bring

382
00:17:29,587 --> 00:17:32,507
Speaker 2: him in and not give him a game, but he's

383
00:17:32,547 --> 00:17:37,227
Speaker 2: there too. A new captain in Mitchell Center. We got

384
00:17:37,267 --> 00:17:39,867
Speaker 2: Will o' rourke coming back for the One Day Internationals.

385
00:17:39,907 --> 00:17:43,707
Speaker 2: He was rested for the T twenty stuff. Even if

386
00:17:43,747 --> 00:17:46,547
Speaker 2: we look at what our red ball side might look

387
00:17:46,707 --> 00:17:51,907
Speaker 2: like in the time ahead. Matt Henry, you know, obviously

388
00:17:52,107 --> 00:17:56,227
Speaker 2: leading our attack, Will O'Rourke, Ben Sears when he's fit,

389
00:17:56,347 --> 00:18:00,627
Speaker 2: Carle Jamison, who I was excited to see bowling yesterday

390
00:18:00,667 --> 00:18:03,947
Speaker 2: for Canterbury, so he's obviously getting back to some sort

391
00:18:03,947 --> 00:18:07,547
Speaker 2: of fitness. Nathan Smith, Jacob Duffy. There are a lot

392
00:18:07,547 --> 00:18:11,107
Speaker 2: of options there for our white and red ball sides

393
00:18:11,427 --> 00:18:15,587
Speaker 2: in terms of our bowling attack new captain of course,

394
00:18:15,707 --> 00:18:21,147
Speaker 2: and Mitchell Santna As I say batting, I guess less

395
00:18:21,187 --> 00:18:25,627
Speaker 2: so less so in our batting, although I mentioned you

396
00:18:25,707 --> 00:18:27,667
Speaker 2: know a guy like Tim Robinson who looks like a

397
00:18:27,747 --> 00:18:31,227
Speaker 2: bit of a white ball specialist. He opened the batting

398
00:18:31,267 --> 00:18:33,547
Speaker 2: with rich and Ravendra in these matches, and I think

399
00:18:33,627 --> 00:18:38,227
Speaker 2: Rachan is probably a you know, a guy who's going

400
00:18:38,307 --> 00:18:39,747
Speaker 2: to be around for a long time. It probably won't

401
00:18:39,747 --> 00:18:42,347
Speaker 2: open the batting. I wouldn't have thought anyway in the

402
00:18:42,707 --> 00:18:45,947
Speaker 2: in the T twenty stuff, they'll look for another option there,

403
00:18:46,787 --> 00:18:52,787
Speaker 2: but there are less obvious replacements for the likes of

404
00:18:53,427 --> 00:18:59,027
Speaker 2: Tom Latham, Devin Conway, Cain Williamson, Darryl Mitchell, will young,

405
00:18:59,867 --> 00:19:04,067
Speaker 2: no obvious heir of parents really in the Test side.

406
00:19:05,107 --> 00:19:07,507
Speaker 2: But you might have some thoughts on that as well.

407
00:19:07,547 --> 00:19:10,747
Speaker 2: But let's let's construct, if we if we can over

408
00:19:10,827 --> 00:19:14,227
Speaker 2: the next year to eighteen months, our sides for in

409
00:19:14,307 --> 00:19:17,747
Speaker 2: particular white ball cricket and guys who you think might

410
00:19:17,867 --> 00:19:22,347
Speaker 2: feature quite prominently in our white ball cricket side, we

411
00:19:22,427 --> 00:19:26,107
Speaker 2: can talk Test side as well. They're all sort of overlapping,

412
00:19:26,147 --> 00:19:29,987
Speaker 2: aren't they. But I just felt quite excited, quite optimistic

413
00:19:30,907 --> 00:19:32,947
Speaker 2: about the fact that there are some new guys in there,

414
00:19:33,467 --> 00:19:37,427
Speaker 2: and we've I guess always been you know well, I

415
00:19:37,467 --> 00:19:39,347
Speaker 2: mean we've had the same side for a while, right,

416
00:19:39,627 --> 00:19:41,467
Speaker 2: there have been guys who've been in the in the

417
00:19:41,547 --> 00:19:43,427
Speaker 2: side for a while and will continue to be for

418
00:19:43,467 --> 00:19:46,507
Speaker 2: a bit longer. But it's great to see some fresh blood.

419
00:19:46,787 --> 00:19:51,747
Speaker 2: Just really enjoyed watching these T twenty games. Chris, I mate,

420
00:19:53,027 --> 00:19:53,747
Speaker 2: you know, mate.

421
00:19:53,907 --> 00:19:55,627
Speaker 8: A happy dear to you.

422
00:19:57,427 --> 00:19:59,667
Speaker 2: And to you Chris hey.

423
00:20:00,867 --> 00:20:06,747
Speaker 7: He played well and this series against Sri Lanka showed

424
00:20:06,827 --> 00:20:09,387
Speaker 7: us that once we lost a few of the guys

425
00:20:09,427 --> 00:20:11,667
Speaker 7: that's been around for a few years, we've got some

426
00:20:11,907 --> 00:20:14,707
Speaker 7: great talent coming thrue. So they just went out there

427
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:19,067
Speaker 7: and played their natural games. I quite like the look

428
00:20:19,147 --> 00:20:23,307
Speaker 7: of that hate that working a batsman and a few

429
00:20:23,387 --> 00:20:25,587
Speaker 7: of a few of the others chipping in.

430
00:20:25,747 --> 00:20:27,387
Speaker 3: But we've also got.

431
00:20:27,347 --> 00:20:31,787
Speaker 7: Some really talented cricketers playing over here in Australia in

432
00:20:31,907 --> 00:20:35,987
Speaker 7: the Big Bash League, and that'll be the selection well.

433
00:20:36,027 --> 00:20:38,027
Speaker 7: And I'm not sure why they didn't get involved in

434
00:20:38,107 --> 00:20:41,027
Speaker 7: the series of Sri Lanka. But if you match the

435
00:20:41,147 --> 00:20:43,547
Speaker 7: guys that have played for the New Guns in this

436
00:20:43,707 --> 00:20:46,307
Speaker 7: current theory, and then also the three or four or

437
00:20:46,347 --> 00:20:48,547
Speaker 7: five of them that are doing well in Big Bass, like,

438
00:20:48,627 --> 00:20:51,947
Speaker 7: we've got some talented crickets. But this is an Sime

439
00:20:52,027 --> 00:20:54,587
Speaker 7: time from his own cricket to sort of move on

440
00:20:54,787 --> 00:20:58,027
Speaker 7: from that golden era that we had and bring through

441
00:20:58,107 --> 00:21:00,747
Speaker 7: these guys. I'm really excited about.

442
00:21:00,467 --> 00:21:02,027
Speaker 3: What we've got for these ten years.

443
00:21:03,627 --> 00:21:06,027
Speaker 2: I am too, Chris, I am touring it and you know,

444
00:21:06,427 --> 00:21:08,947
Speaker 2: you're right, we've had the same side in a successful

445
00:21:08,987 --> 00:21:11,107
Speaker 2: side at least. Not forget that they particularly in the

446
00:21:11,147 --> 00:21:13,187
Speaker 2: red ball staff, you know, winning the World Test Championship

447
00:21:13,227 --> 00:21:15,907
Speaker 2: and you know, making success of white Ball World Cup

448
00:21:15,947 --> 00:21:17,787
Speaker 2: finals that sort of thing. But yeah, but you know,

449
00:21:17,907 --> 00:21:20,587
Speaker 2: time waits for nobody and you know, now with the

450
00:21:20,667 --> 00:21:22,827
Speaker 2: retirements of particularly some of our bowling attack. It is

451
00:21:22,867 --> 00:21:25,307
Speaker 2: I think time to to you know, to move into

452
00:21:25,347 --> 00:21:27,267
Speaker 2: a fresh new face. You talk about some of the

453
00:21:27,307 --> 00:21:30,267
Speaker 2: guys in the Big Bash, Lackie Ferguson's over there, Finelle,

454
00:21:30,307 --> 00:21:32,427
Speaker 2: and Tim Seifert's playing over there too, isn't he. So

455
00:21:32,947 --> 00:21:36,427
Speaker 2: you know there are guys who who Kennel's who are

456
00:21:36,467 --> 00:21:39,467
Speaker 2: also eligible if selected to play for New Zealand. So

457
00:21:40,027 --> 00:21:43,107
Speaker 2: I think that's probably another very good sign.

458
00:21:44,507 --> 00:21:48,027
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, and yeah it's a bit like the All Black.

459
00:21:48,587 --> 00:21:49,107
Speaker 8: When you have.

460
00:21:50,827 --> 00:21:56,587
Speaker 7: Multiple players in positions, the contest gets better and it

461
00:21:56,707 --> 00:22:00,267
Speaker 7: only goes to create a better team. So I look

462
00:22:00,267 --> 00:22:01,867
Speaker 7: at you doing cread and what I've done in the

463
00:22:01,907 --> 00:22:05,627
Speaker 7: last ten fifteen years compared to what I grew up

464
00:22:05,707 --> 00:22:09,147
Speaker 7: with when we lost Monday Series. As some barb Wie

465
00:22:09,787 --> 00:22:12,987
Speaker 7: got watch us by everyone. We're always as a mixed

466
00:22:13,067 --> 00:22:15,747
Speaker 7: paw and that's because we doing cricket is doing really

467
00:22:15,787 --> 00:22:18,427
Speaker 7: well with his development, so we're in a really good

468
00:22:18,587 --> 00:22:20,667
Speaker 7: cricket space and it's great.

469
00:22:21,027 --> 00:22:21,387
Speaker 9: I love it.

470
00:22:22,507 --> 00:22:25,747
Speaker 2: I love it too, Chris. I love the positivity and yeah,

471
00:22:25,787 --> 00:22:29,547
Speaker 2: I'm excited about what lies ahead. You know, sometimes white

472
00:22:29,587 --> 00:22:32,267
Speaker 2: ball series can, especially bi lateral ones can become a

473
00:22:32,267 --> 00:22:34,747
Speaker 2: little bit samey, a little bit, a little bit ho hum.

474
00:22:35,667 --> 00:22:37,547
Speaker 2: But like I say, I watched those teachers. I watched

475
00:22:37,587 --> 00:22:41,107
Speaker 2: all every ball of those three T twenties because because

476
00:22:41,107 --> 00:22:44,827
Speaker 2: I was excited to see Tim Robinson and Mitch Hay,

477
00:22:45,507 --> 00:22:49,507
Speaker 2: Zach Folks, Jacob Duffy. I was hoping to see some

478
00:22:49,707 --> 00:22:54,147
Speaker 2: Nathan Smith and some Bevan Jacobs as well. I didn't

479
00:22:54,187 --> 00:22:55,587
Speaker 2: get to see either of those in the T twenties.

480
00:22:55,627 --> 00:22:57,387
Speaker 2: I say, Nathan Smith is still in the one day sight,

481
00:22:57,547 --> 00:22:59,427
Speaker 2: so hopefully we'll get to see him over the next

482
00:22:59,427 --> 00:23:02,467
Speaker 2: week or so in the fifty over stuff. But yeah,

483
00:23:02,547 --> 00:23:05,947
Speaker 2: I just thought it was really exciting. And Mitchell Sentner

484
00:23:06,347 --> 00:23:08,907
Speaker 2: seems to have brought a freshness as well in terms

485
00:23:08,947 --> 00:23:14,507
Speaker 2: of his captaincy. And you hear, you know, stuff coming

486
00:23:14,547 --> 00:23:17,227
Speaker 2: out of the camp and they like it as well,

487
00:23:17,747 --> 00:23:19,987
Speaker 2: you know, just a different voice. And now that he

488
00:23:20,147 --> 00:23:23,627
Speaker 2: is the permanent white ball captain, he can really start

489
00:23:23,707 --> 00:23:27,147
Speaker 2: to to you know, put his stamp on things and

490
00:23:27,427 --> 00:23:30,027
Speaker 2: carve out a culture in there in a way of

491
00:23:30,147 --> 00:23:33,627
Speaker 2: playing T twenty, in a way of playing fifty over cricket,

492
00:23:33,667 --> 00:23:35,747
Speaker 2: a brand if you like, for the black Caps with

493
00:23:35,907 --> 00:23:39,787
Speaker 2: the white ball I think it's exciting. One hundred and

494
00:23:39,827 --> 00:23:42,067
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighties out number. There's a spear line if

495
00:23:42,067 --> 00:23:43,987
Speaker 2: you want to jump aboard twenty nine away from one,

496
00:23:44,027 --> 00:23:45,467
Speaker 2: We're back with more of your calls after.

497
00:23:45,387 --> 00:23:48,907
Speaker 1: This, he have some more than just a game. Weekend

498
00:23:48,987 --> 00:23:53,347
Speaker 1: sport with Jason Tyne and GJ. Garnomes, New Zealand's most

499
00:23:53,387 --> 00:23:54,987
Speaker 1: trusted home builder, news talks.

500
00:23:54,987 --> 00:23:57,787
Speaker 2: They'd be news talks. There'll be twenty six away from one,

501
00:23:57,987 --> 00:23:59,987
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty talking but a cricket

502
00:24:00,027 --> 00:24:03,067
Speaker 2: and the and the freshness perhaps of the of the

503
00:24:03,147 --> 00:24:05,467
Speaker 2: black Caps in the next little while. I eight hundred

504
00:24:05,467 --> 00:24:09,827
Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty n on text. Jacob excelled in

505
00:24:09,907 --> 00:24:12,827
Speaker 2: the T twenty final for the Vaults back in twenty twelve,

506
00:24:13,107 --> 00:24:16,427
Speaker 2: says Andy, a very level headed player who has bided

507
00:24:16,547 --> 00:24:18,827
Speaker 2: his time, so good to finally see him get his chance.

508
00:24:19,067 --> 00:24:23,027
Speaker 2: Plus the Southland r is a great trait. Yes, I

509
00:24:23,067 --> 00:24:26,187
Speaker 2: could hear the Southland Burr in his voice. There's no

510
00:24:26,307 --> 00:24:29,307
Speaker 2: denying the blokes from Lumsdon good on y, Andy, good

511
00:24:29,387 --> 00:24:31,507
Speaker 2: to hear from you. And muss Is Duff is the

512
00:24:31,667 --> 00:24:34,867
Speaker 2: Matt Todd of cricket. Piney driving down from Hawk's Bay

513
00:24:34,947 --> 00:24:37,587
Speaker 2: mate to watch the black Caps tomorrow. What's the weather forecast?

514
00:24:37,907 --> 00:24:41,067
Speaker 2: I can tell you, Muss, it's actually okay for tomorrow.

515
00:24:41,147 --> 00:24:45,707
Speaker 2: It's not Look, it's not great. It's not absolutely sensational

516
00:24:46,347 --> 00:24:51,227
Speaker 2: for tomorrow. But they should get a gaman. They should

517
00:24:51,267 --> 00:24:53,507
Speaker 2: get a gayman. Although look, let me read it from

518
00:24:53,587 --> 00:24:56,947
Speaker 2: the Met Service for you. A period of rain before dawn,

519
00:24:57,547 --> 00:25:00,707
Speaker 2: then mainly cloudy with showers possibly heavy in the morning.

520
00:25:01,707 --> 00:25:06,667
Speaker 2: Southerly's rising to gale. That'll be nice, gusting ninety kilometer. Actually,

521
00:25:06,667 --> 00:25:09,387
Speaker 2: it's not a great forecast, is it. But I'm looking

522
00:25:09,467 --> 00:25:13,667
Speaker 2: at the rain and tomorrow the game starts at eleven.

523
00:25:14,947 --> 00:25:17,147
Speaker 2: The last of the rain is forecast in the sort

524
00:25:17,187 --> 00:25:22,107
Speaker 2: of midday to one o'clock hour, so that that's when

525
00:25:23,227 --> 00:25:25,067
Speaker 2: most of the rain is forecast. With the last of

526
00:25:25,107 --> 00:25:26,587
Speaker 2: the rain, so we should get a game. And tomorrow

527
00:25:26,827 --> 00:25:29,707
Speaker 2: it might not be particularly warm with those southerlys, musts.

528
00:25:29,747 --> 00:25:32,667
Speaker 2: I hope you packed a jacket, can I fail? You're

529
00:25:32,787 --> 00:25:34,907
Speaker 2: enjoying the new wave of black.

530
00:25:34,667 --> 00:25:36,987
Speaker 10: Caps are.

531
00:25:39,827 --> 00:25:40,707
Speaker 11: Coming from Gore.

532
00:25:40,827 --> 00:25:43,987
Speaker 2: I know all about that, are yes? Indeed? Indeed, well

533
00:25:44,067 --> 00:25:46,107
Speaker 2: one of your own or one of your one of

534
00:25:46,147 --> 00:25:50,067
Speaker 2: your your bottom of the South Island colleagues. Jacob Duffy

535
00:25:50,147 --> 00:25:52,707
Speaker 2: doing great things he is.

536
00:25:52,987 --> 00:25:54,907
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, and I you know, I am.

537
00:25:56,787 --> 00:25:59,627
Speaker 13: I ain't quite enjoying the new look in the in

538
00:25:59,747 --> 00:26:02,507
Speaker 13: the wave like you said, I watched, I watched all

539
00:26:02,547 --> 00:26:06,067
Speaker 13: the games so far. Not sounding too good for it tomorrow,

540
00:26:06,107 --> 00:26:10,467
Speaker 13: but see what happens. Yeah, I'm quite a I'm like you,

541
00:26:10,787 --> 00:26:15,547
Speaker 13: I'm quite sort of optimistic and excited about the future.

542
00:26:15,667 --> 00:26:16,387
Speaker 3: You know, we've got.

543
00:26:18,147 --> 00:26:21,907
Speaker 13: It's funny with Duffy because it's almost like the forgotten player.

544
00:26:21,987 --> 00:26:24,267
Speaker 13: Like you said, he's been around so long. It's almost

545
00:26:24,387 --> 00:26:29,907
Speaker 13: like he seems like an old boy that's just broken through.

546
00:26:30,067 --> 00:26:34,467
Speaker 13: But just because he's been around for so long. But

547
00:26:34,587 --> 00:26:36,587
Speaker 13: I'm glad to see that he has, you know, and

548
00:26:37,027 --> 00:26:39,227
Speaker 13: finally is getting this time.

549
00:26:41,627 --> 00:26:43,707
Speaker 2: But I wonder whether that's I wonder whether that's part

550
00:26:43,747 --> 00:26:47,187
Speaker 2: of the secret phil. You know, you often see youngsters

551
00:26:47,267 --> 00:26:52,387
Speaker 2: coming into international sport, and you know, some of them

552
00:26:52,387 --> 00:26:54,747
Speaker 2: are ready, but some of them you think might benefit

553
00:26:54,787 --> 00:26:57,347
Speaker 2: from a bit of experience. And so when Jacob Duffy, yes,

554
00:26:57,387 --> 00:26:58,587
Speaker 2: I know he's been in and out of the team

555
00:26:58,627 --> 00:27:00,667
Speaker 2: for the last three or four years, but the fact

556
00:27:00,667 --> 00:27:03,227
Speaker 2: that he's got so much to Messter cricket under his belt.

557
00:27:03,867 --> 00:27:05,427
Speaker 2: I wonder whether that's part of the secret.

558
00:27:06,907 --> 00:27:09,627
Speaker 13: Yeah, well it could be. I certainly don't think. I

559
00:27:09,707 --> 00:27:11,467
Speaker 13: don't think it can do any harm. You know, the

560
00:27:11,587 --> 00:27:13,787
Speaker 13: more experience and the more you can play, the better

561
00:27:16,067 --> 00:27:19,267
Speaker 13: basically any any form, because like they say, there's nothing

562
00:27:20,787 --> 00:27:25,667
Speaker 13: like actually on field experience, you know. So yeah, because

563
00:27:25,707 --> 00:27:30,147
Speaker 13: I remember years ago when they talked about Kem Rutherford,

564
00:27:30,227 --> 00:27:34,147
Speaker 13: you know, and how sensational he was as a young

565
00:27:34,267 --> 00:27:36,587
Speaker 13: player and I think was than eighteen, they sent him

566
00:27:36,587 --> 00:27:37,907
Speaker 13: over to the West that he and I think it

567
00:27:37,987 --> 00:27:41,467
Speaker 13: done more harm than good and might have actually harmed

568
00:27:41,507 --> 00:27:44,107
Speaker 13: his career and stunted some of his potential because you know,

569
00:27:44,347 --> 00:27:48,227
Speaker 13: he got quite dealt to with those bowlers at the time,

570
00:27:48,347 --> 00:27:51,187
Speaker 13: you know, that were devastating. So yeah, maybe, yeah, holding

571
00:27:51,267 --> 00:27:53,387
Speaker 13: back a bit, you know, like you say, rather than

572
00:27:53,387 --> 00:27:56,907
Speaker 13: putting someone in too young, could be a beneficial thing.

573
00:27:57,027 --> 00:27:58,387
Speaker 3: But I.

574
00:28:00,067 --> 00:28:02,627
Speaker 13: Yeah, I like the fact, you know, we got O'Rourke

575
00:28:03,067 --> 00:28:06,227
Speaker 13: who's looks like he's going to be super quick speedch

576
00:28:06,387 --> 00:28:09,227
Speaker 13: so you know, like a Brent Lee and like Shane

577
00:28:09,267 --> 00:28:10,987
Speaker 13: Bond got up to and that sort of thing, which

578
00:28:11,027 --> 00:28:14,347
Speaker 13: I think is fantastic because every side. I think needs

579
00:28:14,387 --> 00:28:18,067
Speaker 13: a super quick you know, and I like to look

580
00:28:18,107 --> 00:28:20,787
Speaker 13: at the Hey, the wicket keeper there, robertson the battery,

581
00:28:20,907 --> 00:28:23,787
Speaker 13: you know, like you said, I'm not sure on the

582
00:28:23,867 --> 00:28:27,067
Speaker 13: batting stocks where else we go. We may be a

583
00:28:27,147 --> 00:28:29,507
Speaker 13: bit short on that, but someone might come through, you know,

584
00:28:29,707 --> 00:28:33,547
Speaker 13: younger player might come through during the year sort of thing.

585
00:28:33,627 --> 00:28:37,027
Speaker 13: But we got seers as well, you know, who's quite

586
00:28:37,107 --> 00:28:40,587
Speaker 13: pacy as well. I think is pretty a nippy up there.

587
00:28:40,707 --> 00:28:44,507
Speaker 13: And yeah, I'm just trying to think of all the

588
00:28:44,587 --> 00:28:47,307
Speaker 13: other names that but I'm liking what. You know, I'm

589
00:28:47,387 --> 00:28:51,907
Speaker 13: kind of optimistic for the future. I think Satner it's

590
00:28:52,027 --> 00:28:54,947
Speaker 13: going to be a good captain and a fresh perspective.

591
00:28:55,027 --> 00:28:58,627
Speaker 13: And like you said, the team seemed to like him

592
00:28:58,667 --> 00:29:02,067
Speaker 13: and maybe he's brought a kind of new not to

593
00:29:02,147 --> 00:29:05,627
Speaker 13: say that now he wasn't like he was good, but

594
00:29:06,747 --> 00:29:10,907
Speaker 13: I think there's things to have brought some positivity into

595
00:29:10,987 --> 00:29:13,147
Speaker 13: the team as well, you know, of a belief maybe

596
00:29:13,307 --> 00:29:18,027
Speaker 13: or something. So yeah, I'm liking it. Gay can I

597
00:29:18,107 --> 00:29:21,307
Speaker 13: also say piney. I know this is a bit off topic,

598
00:29:21,347 --> 00:29:23,627
Speaker 13: but yesterday, you know, when you're talking about the sports,

599
00:29:23,667 --> 00:29:25,307
Speaker 13: if you leave it, if you let me the game

600
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:28,227
Speaker 13: in the sports? What's versas game and sports? I was

601
00:29:28,307 --> 00:29:30,267
Speaker 13: thinking about it because somebody once said to me that

602
00:29:30,387 --> 00:29:32,987
Speaker 13: I worked with the golf. Isn't it gay as in

603
00:29:33,067 --> 00:29:34,907
Speaker 13: a sport? It's a game? And I thought, I don't

604
00:29:34,907 --> 00:29:37,187
Speaker 13: want to agree with the guy because he's one of

605
00:29:37,267 --> 00:29:40,747
Speaker 13: those know it all fellas. So I thought maybe maybe

606
00:29:40,867 --> 00:29:43,827
Speaker 13: technically he's right, you know, because I was thinking what

607
00:29:44,107 --> 00:29:45,747
Speaker 13: as I was listening to your talk, be, I was thinking,

608
00:29:46,507 --> 00:29:50,307
Speaker 13: what does define technically? Because you could call golf and

609
00:29:50,427 --> 00:29:52,707
Speaker 13: darts both a game and a sport, you know in

610
00:29:52,827 --> 00:29:55,187
Speaker 13: my mind, but technically what does defind it? And I thought,

611
00:29:55,787 --> 00:29:58,267
Speaker 13: I thought about something like yachting. I thought, well, you

612
00:29:58,387 --> 00:30:01,067
Speaker 13: can't call yachting a game. You wouldn't say yachting is

613
00:30:01,107 --> 00:30:03,547
Speaker 13: a game, but you could coogl it a sport, whereas

614
00:30:03,587 --> 00:30:05,587
Speaker 13: you know, like rugby, you could google a game in

615
00:30:05,707 --> 00:30:06,067
Speaker 13: a sport.

616
00:30:06,467 --> 00:30:06,747
Speaker 3: The thing.

617
00:30:06,907 --> 00:30:10,267
Speaker 13: So I was thinking, I said, their yachting, maybe that

618
00:30:10,667 --> 00:30:11,347
Speaker 13: What do you think of that?

619
00:30:11,907 --> 00:30:12,107
Speaker 10: Yeah?

620
00:30:12,107 --> 00:30:14,627
Speaker 2: Well, look I think yeah we did. We had this

621
00:30:14,707 --> 00:30:18,187
Speaker 2: discussion yesterday, as you pointed out full on. I think

622
00:30:18,227 --> 00:30:21,267
Speaker 2: it started, well, I know it did from whether darts

623
00:30:21,387 --> 00:30:24,587
Speaker 2: was a sport or not, because there is some conjecture.

624
00:30:24,747 --> 00:30:28,067
Speaker 2: There's a divided opinions shall we say on whether darts

625
00:30:28,187 --> 00:30:30,667
Speaker 2: is actually a sport or not? And I think we

626
00:30:30,827 --> 00:30:34,507
Speaker 2: landed on a couple of things, physical exertion being one,

627
00:30:34,867 --> 00:30:38,987
Speaker 2: a degree of physical exertion also a competitive aspect, and

628
00:30:39,747 --> 00:30:44,107
Speaker 2: a degree of technical skill or ability. I think those

629
00:30:44,187 --> 00:30:47,147
Speaker 2: were the kind of the key planks to to how

630
00:30:47,227 --> 00:30:50,707
Speaker 2: you define a sport. People are always going to have

631
00:30:50,747 --> 00:30:53,187
Speaker 2: different opinions. Look for me, there's absolutely no doubt that

632
00:30:53,267 --> 00:30:55,987
Speaker 2: golf is one, and I think probably most people you

633
00:30:56,107 --> 00:30:58,587
Speaker 2: ask would say, yes, golf is a sport, but the

634
00:30:58,627 --> 00:31:01,627
Speaker 2: physical exertion side of it, compared to something like yachting

635
00:31:01,707 --> 00:31:05,067
Speaker 2: for example, there's nowhere near it, you know. And in

636
00:31:05,147 --> 00:31:07,347
Speaker 2: fact they often say, don't they that you need to

637
00:31:07,347 --> 00:31:11,267
Speaker 2: be able to relax to be effective in golf, whereas

638
00:31:11,547 --> 00:31:13,067
Speaker 2: in a lot of other sports. I'm sure you need

639
00:31:13,107 --> 00:31:16,187
Speaker 2: to be a lot more amped up. It's always an

640
00:31:16,227 --> 00:31:19,707
Speaker 2: interesting topic. There was that description yesterday that was given

641
00:31:20,867 --> 00:31:24,307
Speaker 2: of you had to either take off your footwear or

642
00:31:24,387 --> 00:31:27,987
Speaker 2: put on special footwear for it to be a sport.

643
00:31:28,547 --> 00:31:31,707
Speaker 2: So you can ruminate on that, perhaps, Thanks Phil, good

644
00:31:31,747 --> 00:31:34,667
Speaker 2: to chat to you as always, mate. Updating Live sport.

645
00:31:34,867 --> 00:31:38,947
Speaker 2: They're underway at the SCG on day two of the last,

646
00:31:39,227 --> 00:31:43,467
Speaker 2: the fifth and final Test between Australia and India. Australia

647
00:31:43,507 --> 00:31:45,867
Speaker 2: no further loss in the first ten minutes today they're

648
00:31:45,907 --> 00:31:49,227
Speaker 2: thirteen for one. Sam Constance has been joined by Manus

649
00:31:49,307 --> 00:31:52,547
Speaker 2: Larva Shane. So yeah, India all out one eight five

650
00:31:52,627 --> 00:31:54,427
Speaker 2: years today so it's not a big total to defend.

651
00:31:54,467 --> 00:31:56,987
Speaker 2: But there's a bit going on out there. So Australia

652
00:31:57,307 --> 00:31:59,907
Speaker 2: just battling at the moment a little bit thirteen for

653
00:32:00,067 --> 00:32:03,267
Speaker 2: one as they try to build their first innings as

654
00:32:03,307 --> 00:32:06,427
Speaker 2: far as the Super Smash is concerned. Just about to

655
00:32:06,427 --> 00:32:11,267
Speaker 2: get underway in Nelson, the Saxon Oval venue in Nelson

656
00:32:11,307 --> 00:32:15,107
Speaker 2: where the Wellington Blaze taking on the central Hinds. Wellington

657
00:32:15,107 --> 00:32:17,067
Speaker 2: have won the toss and elected to bat first. So

658
00:32:17,907 --> 00:32:20,547
Speaker 2: the second and final chance to see Elise Perry out there.

659
00:32:20,947 --> 00:32:22,907
Speaker 2: Hopefully she'll get a few more uns and than she

660
00:32:23,027 --> 00:32:25,947
Speaker 2: did the other day. And in terms of the tennis,

661
00:32:26,067 --> 00:32:30,147
Speaker 2: I can tell you that Madison Keys has been knocked out.

662
00:32:30,547 --> 00:32:32,667
Speaker 2: I looked up at the graphic on the TV before

663
00:32:32,667 --> 00:32:35,307
Speaker 2: and I thought I saw that Madison Keys had won

664
00:32:35,387 --> 00:32:38,267
Speaker 2: the second set. In fact, she didn't and it went

665
00:32:38,347 --> 00:32:43,147
Speaker 2: to a tiebreaker which the fifth seed, Danish player Clara

666
00:32:43,387 --> 00:32:48,547
Speaker 2: Tollson won, so she's through. She'll play American Robin Montgomery

667
00:32:49,027 --> 00:32:53,707
Speaker 2: in the first semifinal at three o'clock. Katie Volnet's and

668
00:32:53,827 --> 00:32:56,827
Speaker 2: Alicia Parks underway in the final quarterfinal. The winner of

669
00:32:56,867 --> 00:32:59,947
Speaker 2: that one will play Naomi Osaka. So they've had to

670
00:33:00,067 --> 00:33:02,547
Speaker 2: sort of truncate it all and squeeze it all in

671
00:33:02,707 --> 00:33:05,707
Speaker 2: because of the rain. But three of the four quarter

672
00:33:05,787 --> 00:33:09,387
Speaker 2: finals now done, the fourth one underway, and then the

673
00:33:09,427 --> 00:33:12,507
Speaker 2: semis will hit the court from about three o'clock this afternoon,

674
00:33:13,067 --> 00:33:15,507
Speaker 2: coming up sixteen away from one. Still a bit of

675
00:33:15,547 --> 00:33:17,347
Speaker 2: time to talk cricket. If you'd like our eight hundred

676
00:33:17,427 --> 00:33:19,947
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty anybody who stood out for you in

677
00:33:20,027 --> 00:33:24,467
Speaker 2: the recent T twenty Internationals. Anybody you can see, you know,

678
00:33:24,707 --> 00:33:26,787
Speaker 2: leading the line in terms of our bowling attack and

679
00:33:26,827 --> 00:33:29,627
Speaker 2: white and red ball cricket, and who are the up

680
00:33:29,707 --> 00:33:34,747
Speaker 2: and comers as far as batting is concerned, Who are

681
00:33:34,787 --> 00:33:37,867
Speaker 2: the up and comers there? If we're looking for players

682
00:33:37,907 --> 00:33:42,067
Speaker 2: to replace the likes of Latham and Williamson and Conway

683
00:33:42,347 --> 00:33:46,107
Speaker 2: and Mitchell and even will Young in the in the

684
00:33:46,187 --> 00:33:48,827
Speaker 2: next few years. So are they eight hundred and eighty

685
00:33:48,907 --> 00:33:51,107
Speaker 2: ten eighty back with your calls? After the sixteen away

686

691
00:34:05,467 --> 00:34:08,507
Speaker 2: wicket at the SCG Manus Labbashane caught behind. They're thirteen

692
00:34:08,627 --> 00:34:12,027
Speaker 2: for two. The Indians are up and about, up and

693
00:34:12,187 --> 00:34:16,387
Speaker 2: about Bill high Nate, how are you doing very well?

694
00:34:16,467 --> 00:34:16,627
Speaker 3: Bill?

695
00:34:16,787 --> 00:34:17,107
Speaker 2: Very well?

696
00:34:17,507 --> 00:34:17,707
Speaker 8: Yeah?

697
00:34:17,787 --> 00:34:17,947
Speaker 3: Good?

698
00:34:18,147 --> 00:34:20,107
Speaker 8: Hey, Look God, I don't know. I'm not a great

699
00:34:20,147 --> 00:34:23,227
Speaker 8: follower of provincial cricket and stuff, so I don't know

700
00:34:23,307 --> 00:34:25,507
Speaker 8: what happens around the local was seen and what have you.

701
00:34:25,587 --> 00:34:28,707
Speaker 8: But I think with the New Zealand team, they've got

702
00:34:28,747 --> 00:34:31,867
Speaker 8: this attitude of if you've done something, you're good enough

703
00:34:31,907 --> 00:34:34,827
Speaker 8: to stay, you know, and they tend to hang on

704
00:34:34,987 --> 00:34:36,507
Speaker 8: to some of these fellows a week bit too long,

705
00:34:37,387 --> 00:34:39,947
Speaker 8: you know. A classic example would be Gaptoo and one

706
00:34:40,027 --> 00:34:42,587
Speaker 8: or two others that they just seem to keep bringing

707
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:44,467
Speaker 8: back and then all of a sudden he did make

708
00:34:44,507 --> 00:34:46,547
Speaker 8: a score and then for the next age, I think

709
00:34:46,587 --> 00:34:50,267
Speaker 8: he'd get nothing, you know, And I think Ravenda might

710
00:34:50,307 --> 00:34:52,427
Speaker 8: have been a bit lucky to get a few the

711
00:34:52,507 --> 00:34:56,107
Speaker 8: other day because he's actually been quite disappointing.

712
00:34:56,907 --> 00:34:59,147
Speaker 2: He actually, I think by his own admission, Bill, he

713
00:34:59,187 --> 00:35:01,187
Speaker 2: would say that, yeah, he what a get in the

714
00:35:01,227 --> 00:35:03,067
Speaker 2: first one he got eight and one didn't he got sixty,

715
00:35:03,147 --> 00:35:04,747
Speaker 2: or the other night or the other day when he

716
00:35:04,787 --> 00:35:07,787
Speaker 2: had which help, But yeah, interesting.

717
00:35:07,507 --> 00:35:09,267
Speaker 8: Time take him under his wing.

718
00:35:09,867 --> 00:35:13,827
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, yeah, he'll still be okay, Bill, don't

719
00:35:13,827 --> 00:35:15,507
Speaker 2: you worry about that. He'll still be okay. But yeah,

720
00:35:15,507 --> 00:35:17,867
Speaker 2: maybe he needs a bit of guidance. I think you know,

721
00:35:17,947 --> 00:35:19,827
Speaker 2: he's a he's a three format cricketer, which I guess

722
00:35:20,067 --> 00:35:22,307
Speaker 2: adds its own challenges. But back to what you said before,

723
00:35:22,347 --> 00:35:25,227
Speaker 2: it's interesting to me about players who you think okay, well,

724
00:35:25,347 --> 00:35:27,387
Speaker 2: maybe they need to be given a rest. I guess

725
00:35:27,427 --> 00:35:29,587
Speaker 2: one fact that they've got to look at is is

726
00:35:29,627 --> 00:35:30,907
Speaker 2: if it's not that guy, then who is it.

727
00:35:32,427 --> 00:35:32,627
Speaker 14: Yeah.

728
00:35:32,667 --> 00:35:34,827
Speaker 8: The thing is with a lot of these young fellows,

729
00:35:34,867 --> 00:35:37,147
Speaker 8: I think they need to give them a crack. If

730
00:35:37,187 --> 00:35:39,307
Speaker 8: they don't measure up well, then at least they've they've

731
00:35:39,347 --> 00:35:43,507
Speaker 8: given that opportunity. I believe there's far too many people

732
00:35:43,667 --> 00:35:46,147
Speaker 8: on the verge that that don't get a look on

733
00:35:46,307 --> 00:35:49,227
Speaker 8: because because they've hang on to this particular person or

734
00:35:49,267 --> 00:35:52,947
Speaker 8: whoever it may be. You know, there's there's been to

735
00:35:52,987 --> 00:35:54,507
Speaker 8: be a lot of young fellows out there that are

736
00:35:54,587 --> 00:35:56,867
Speaker 8: snapper and the heels of these fellows but just don't

737
00:35:56,867 --> 00:36:00,387
Speaker 8: get that opportunity, and I think they deserve at least

738
00:36:00,427 --> 00:36:02,827
Speaker 8: one chance at it. If they fail, well, then you

739
00:36:02,907 --> 00:36:06,627
Speaker 8: know they fail. The other the other thing to talk

740
00:36:06,707 --> 00:36:12,187
Speaker 8: about quickly, as somebody mentioned about arts not being a sport, yep,

741
00:36:13,227 --> 00:36:15,587
Speaker 8: I think years ago it was in the same league

742
00:36:15,747 --> 00:36:19,147
Speaker 8: as snooker and it was classed well, as far as

743
00:36:19,227 --> 00:36:23,027
Speaker 8: New Zealand's considered, it was class as a leisure because

744
00:36:23,027 --> 00:36:25,387
Speaker 8: I remember I think I'm not sure it was miss

745
00:36:25,387 --> 00:36:29,547
Speaker 8: out or somebody applied for funding from Smoke Free New

746
00:36:29,627 --> 00:36:33,747
Speaker 8: Zealand for it might have been a national ball tournament

747
00:36:33,867 --> 00:36:37,347
Speaker 8: or snooker tournament or something, and that we were rejected

748
00:36:37,427 --> 00:36:40,827
Speaker 8: because of the simple fact they didn't class paul or

749
00:36:40,867 --> 00:36:44,827
Speaker 8: snooker then as a sport. They classed it as a leisure.

750
00:36:45,427 --> 00:36:48,147
Speaker 8: Interesting and to be eligible to be eligible for a

751
00:36:48,187 --> 00:36:50,907
Speaker 8: grant from smoke free New Zealand. It had to actually

752
00:36:50,907 --> 00:36:53,947
Speaker 8: be recognized as a sport. So I think things have

753
00:36:54,107 --> 00:36:54,987
Speaker 8: changed over the years.

754
00:36:55,587 --> 00:36:59,027
Speaker 2: You bill up without doubt they have, without doubt they have. Yeah, thanks,

755
00:36:59,067 --> 00:37:01,587
Speaker 2: but thanks for the insight. And yeah, interesting points you

756
00:37:01,707 --> 00:37:04,867
Speaker 2: make about about selection and how long somebody should be

757
00:37:05,667 --> 00:37:06,947
Speaker 2: there or maybe not be there.

758
00:37:07,307 --> 00:37:10,667
Speaker 9: Jonathan, Hello, we'll get up and Jason, Yeah, I don't

759
00:37:10,667 --> 00:37:12,667
Speaker 9: want to get started on the dance debate again other

760
00:37:12,747 --> 00:37:13,187
Speaker 9: than yesterday.

761
00:37:13,627 --> 00:37:15,307
Speaker 2: No, I think we'll leave it off to one side,

762
00:37:15,347 --> 00:37:16,227
Speaker 2: shall we let's.

763
00:37:16,027 --> 00:37:22,267
Speaker 9: Talk to Yeah, definitely. My clearly is regarding the action

764
00:37:22,347 --> 00:37:24,467
Speaker 9: of one of the Shrilankan bowlers who I've noticed, and

765
00:37:24,787 --> 00:37:26,907
Speaker 9: I think it was the last game or the game

766
00:37:26,947 --> 00:37:29,987
Speaker 9: before that. His arm is coming over what I think

767
00:37:30,107 --> 00:37:34,107
Speaker 9: is forty five degrees, so it's not vertical, but there's

768
00:37:34,187 --> 00:37:38,907
Speaker 9: nowhere near vertical. It's forty five degrees, and obviously I

769
00:37:38,987 --> 00:37:40,787
Speaker 9: was saying to produce it. It's a it's a legal action.

770
00:37:40,907 --> 00:37:42,507
Speaker 9: Otherwise it would be outlawed and you wouldn't be able

771
00:37:42,547 --> 00:37:45,187
Speaker 9: to do it. And I remember years ago, I think

772
00:37:45,267 --> 00:37:49,627
Speaker 9: there was Milingia. He was Malinga the slinger. I think

773
00:37:49,707 --> 00:37:53,467
Speaker 9: his arm was horizontal. I could be wrong. So I'm

774
00:37:53,587 --> 00:37:57,747
Speaker 9: just wondering, are you able to comment or do you

775
00:37:57,907 --> 00:38:04,587
Speaker 9: know the limit of how how off off off vertical

776
00:38:04,707 --> 00:38:07,387
Speaker 9: the arm can be, because I think it's only to

777
00:38:07,427 --> 00:38:08,467
Speaker 9: dodge you to me somehow.

778
00:38:09,227 --> 00:38:11,227
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's new one through sharer. I think the bowlder

779
00:38:11,267 --> 00:38:13,387
Speaker 2: you're talking about, Yeah, and he I think he's he's

780
00:38:13,427 --> 00:38:15,587
Speaker 2: basically on record of saying, look, he modeled himself on

781
00:38:16,107 --> 00:38:19,147
Speaker 2: Lasith Malinga, Malinga the slinger as we all, and he

782
00:38:19,307 --> 00:38:22,787
Speaker 2: was so successful. My understanding of the Lord Jonathan is,

783
00:38:22,827 --> 00:38:25,827
Speaker 2: as long as your arm is straight, you can do

784
00:38:25,907 --> 00:38:28,067
Speaker 2: what you like with it. But you can't obviously can't

785
00:38:28,067 --> 00:38:29,947
Speaker 2: bowl under arm. It's got to be above your waist.

786
00:38:30,907 --> 00:38:34,067
Speaker 2: You can't do that. But yeah, I think you know,

787
00:38:34,107 --> 00:38:35,867
Speaker 2: as long as it comes as long as it comes around,

788
00:38:35,907 --> 00:38:37,147
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I mean, as long as you're not

789
00:38:37,187 --> 00:38:39,587
Speaker 2: having the umpire, I'm pretty sure it's okay.

790
00:38:41,027 --> 00:38:43,507
Speaker 9: Yeah, Because obviously some bowlers would get a better action

791
00:38:44,147 --> 00:38:49,347
Speaker 9: being off the vertical, because because because bowling vertical is

792
00:38:49,387 --> 00:38:52,107
Speaker 9: pretty hard, you know, it's not a natural way to

793
00:38:52,227 --> 00:38:56,787
Speaker 9: throw a ball, is it. Whereas if you come around

794
00:38:57,187 --> 00:39:01,747
Speaker 9: the side like horizontal, nearly you're probably getting a it's

795
00:39:01,747 --> 00:39:03,907
Speaker 9: probably easier on the boller to do that. You could

796
00:39:03,987 --> 00:39:07,867
Speaker 9: bowl under arm, but kind of like softball or baseball fashion.

797
00:39:08,267 --> 00:39:09,187
Speaker 9: But let's not do that.

798
00:39:09,747 --> 00:39:11,627
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, let's not. Let's not get into into a

799
00:39:11,667 --> 00:39:15,347
Speaker 2: softball pitching situation. Jonathan. Yeah, look, and I guess I

800
00:39:15,427 --> 00:39:19,787
Speaker 2: know there are obviously benefits to bowling upright. I think

801
00:39:19,827 --> 00:39:22,907
Speaker 2: it's probably easier to keep your arms straight in that situation.

802
00:39:22,987 --> 00:39:24,827
Speaker 2: If you coming around with a sling, I think you're

803
00:39:24,867 --> 00:39:27,147
Speaker 2: probably more likely to just to, you know, to bend

804
00:39:27,187 --> 00:39:30,667
Speaker 2: your arm, which is illegal. So yeah, but yeah, Malinga

805
00:39:31,027 --> 00:39:35,547
Speaker 2: almost he was a real trailblazer in that way. And yeah,

806
00:39:35,627 --> 00:39:39,467
Speaker 2: Thushara is the latest to give it a crack. I

807
00:39:39,547 --> 00:39:42,187
Speaker 2: hope we clarify it. That's my understanding is as long

808
00:39:42,227 --> 00:39:45,147
Speaker 2: as the arm is straight and it's above the waste

809
00:39:45,187 --> 00:39:47,547
Speaker 2: to the otherwise you're getting into the underarm situation, then

810
00:39:47,587 --> 00:39:50,107
Speaker 2: you're okay. Seven away from one US Talks.

811
00:39:49,987 --> 00:39:54,067
Speaker 1: B analyzing every view from every angle in the sporting

812
00:39:54,147 --> 00:39:56,707
Speaker 1: world weekends for it with Jason Ye.

813
00:39:56,827 --> 00:40:01,027
Speaker 2: They're all under US Talks B four to one. We're

814
00:40:01,067 --> 00:40:03,947
Speaker 2: at the tennis after one o'clock and illegal bowling actions

815
00:40:03,987 --> 00:40:06,587
Speaker 2: when a player is throwing rather than bowling. The ball

816
00:40:06,667 --> 00:40:10,187
Speaker 2: defined by the ICC as when the player's elbow extends

817
00:40:10,307 --> 00:40:12,907
Speaker 2: by an amount of more than fifteen degrees between their

818
00:40:12,987 --> 00:40:15,787
Speaker 2: arm reaching the horizontal and the ball being released. So

819
00:40:15,907 --> 00:40:19,747
Speaker 2: think about throwing. That's what you're doing. Basically nothing in

820
00:40:19,867 --> 00:40:24,027
Speaker 2: this broad definition about where your arm is. As long

821
00:40:24,067 --> 00:40:27,827
Speaker 2: as your arm stays straight, pretty sure you can sling

822
00:40:27,867 --> 00:40:29,747
Speaker 2: it as much as you like. And that's what Thushara

823
00:40:30,067 --> 00:40:32,987
Speaker 2: Malinga and others are doing. Appreciate the call, Jonathan, and

824
00:40:32,987 --> 00:40:36,467
Speaker 2: hopefully the clarification is there for you as well as

825
00:40:36,507 --> 00:40:38,747
Speaker 2: I say. Tennis. After one, we're at the ASB Classic

826
00:40:38,827 --> 00:40:41,427
Speaker 2: on quarterfinal and semi final day and All Whites coach

827
00:40:41,507 --> 00:40:45,427
Speaker 2: Darren Basley to cure their place at the FIFA World

828
00:40:45,507 --> 00:40:49,427
Speaker 2: Cup in twenty twenty six. It is a tantalizing two

829
00:40:49,547 --> 00:40:52,707
Speaker 2: matches away for the All Whites. If they beat Fiji

830
00:40:52,947 --> 00:40:56,427
Speaker 2: on the night of Friday, March twenty first, and then

831
00:40:56,747 --> 00:40:59,667
Speaker 2: that's a semifinal back that up at Eden Park three

832
00:40:59,747 --> 00:41:02,067
Speaker 2: nights later. With a win in the final against the

833
00:41:02,107 --> 00:41:04,947
Speaker 2: winner of the other semi then they will be going

834
00:41:05,027 --> 00:41:08,307
Speaker 2: to the FIFA World Cup in twent twenty six. Automatic

835
00:41:08,507 --> 00:41:12,227
Speaker 2: entry for Oceania in this expanded forty eight nation World

836
00:41:12,267 --> 00:41:14,907
Speaker 2: Cup next year. So for the very first time, the

837
00:41:14,987 --> 00:41:18,427
Speaker 2: winner of Oceania gets direct entry. And I say New

838
00:41:18,507 --> 00:41:23,627
Speaker 2: Zealand's heavily favored to do just that. Heavily heavily favored

839
00:41:23,987 --> 00:41:26,227
Speaker 2: to do just that. So how do they avoid complacency?

840
00:41:26,707 --> 00:41:29,547
Speaker 2: Who's going to get picked? How deep is the squad?

841
00:41:29,627 --> 00:41:31,907
Speaker 2: And if they do make it, how many games will

842
00:41:31,907 --> 00:41:34,467
Speaker 2: they have afterwards between then and when the World Cup

843
00:41:34,587 --> 00:41:38,067
Speaker 2: rolls around next June, that's June of twenty six, to

844
00:41:38,147 --> 00:41:40,947
Speaker 2: make sure that they go there fully prepared. Darren Basley

845
00:41:41,067 --> 00:41:42,867
Speaker 2: is the man to answer all those questions. He's the

846
00:41:42,907 --> 00:41:45,027
Speaker 2: coach of the Sape. He's with us this hour. We'll

847
00:41:45,027 --> 00:41:48,587
Speaker 2: also cross the Tasman and catch up with our Australian

848
00:41:48,667 --> 00:41:52,387
Speaker 2: correspondent Adam Peacock on sporting matters from that side of

849
00:41:52,467 --> 00:41:55,267
Speaker 2: the ditch. Very shortly, some tennis for you from the

850
00:41:55,427 --> 00:41:58,747
Speaker 2: ASB Classic. Just updating you on live cricket which is

851
00:41:58,787 --> 00:42:02,427
Speaker 2: happening on both sides of the Tasman. Super Smash Women

852
00:42:02,827 --> 00:42:06,307
Speaker 2: Saxton Overall and Nelson Wellington won the toss and decide

853
00:42:06,507 --> 00:42:08,827
Speaker 2: they would bat first and outwalk to of the best

854
00:42:09,507 --> 00:42:11,947
Speaker 2: batters in women's cricket, and not just New Zealand but

855
00:42:12,027 --> 00:42:16,307
Speaker 2: in the world. Mealy Kerr and Elise Perry, who's here

856
00:42:16,387 --> 00:42:18,427
Speaker 2: on a two game stint. This is the second of

857
00:42:18,467 --> 00:42:21,867
Speaker 2: those games. Unfortunately for Wellington fans, both of those players

858
00:42:21,907 --> 00:42:25,627
Speaker 2: are out. Mellie Kerr was out for seven and followed

859
00:42:25,627 --> 00:42:29,347
Speaker 2: by Elise Perry for sixteen. So Wellington blaze at the

860
00:42:29,427 --> 00:42:32,227
Speaker 2: end of six overs twenty nine for two. So the

861
00:42:32,307 --> 00:42:35,187
Speaker 2: central hinds you'd say, have the upper hand there. Took

862
00:42:35,227 --> 00:42:37,387
Speaker 2: quite a bit of batting to come from Wellington though,

863
00:42:37,547 --> 00:42:42,067
Speaker 2: And as far as the SCG Test is concerned, fifth

864
00:42:42,107 --> 00:42:45,947
Speaker 2: and final Test between Australia and India, Australia have lost

865
00:42:45,947 --> 00:42:49,547
Speaker 2: a wicket today on the second morning. It is that

866
00:42:49,707 --> 00:42:54,347
Speaker 2: of Marnus Labashane. It needed a referral before it was

867
00:42:54,427 --> 00:42:56,787
Speaker 2: confirmed that he had been caught behind by Richard pant

868
00:42:57,227 --> 00:43:01,347
Speaker 2: Off the bowling of the exceptional Jasper Bunra for two.

869
00:43:02,867 --> 00:43:06,667
Speaker 2: Initially not given out. I saw a reclave up on

870
00:43:06,747 --> 00:43:09,787
Speaker 2: the TV in the studio here before and as soon

871
00:43:09,907 --> 00:43:13,187
Speaker 2: as it was given not out, a straightaway went up

872
00:43:13,227 --> 00:43:16,227
Speaker 2: to the third umpire and he confirmed that yes, Manus

873
00:43:16,307 --> 00:43:18,427
Speaker 2: Labashon had got a tickle on it, so thirty five

874
00:43:18,507 --> 00:43:21,667
Speaker 2: for two. Sam Consta is still there, the nineteen year

875
00:43:21,667 --> 00:43:23,547
Speaker 2: old opener twenty three not out. He's been joined by

876
00:43:23,587 --> 00:43:26,987
Speaker 2: Steve Smith, who was unbeaten on four. So Australia thirty

877
00:43:27,027 --> 00:43:30,667
Speaker 2: five for two in reply to India's first innings of

878
00:43:30,787 --> 00:43:35,067
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty five and so to the ASB.

879
00:43:35,267 --> 00:43:37,067
Speaker 2: In fact, they've just lost a third wicket just as

880
00:43:37,147 --> 00:43:39,667
Speaker 2: I speak, they've just lost a third wicket. Sam Constance

881
00:43:39,947 --> 00:43:45,147
Speaker 2: is out. So in further trouble now Australia thirty five

882
00:43:45,667 --> 00:43:48,427
Speaker 2: for three. More details on that coming up to the

883
00:43:48,507 --> 00:43:52,507
Speaker 2: Tennis ASB Tennis Classic. Top seed Madison Keys knocked out

884
00:43:53,027 --> 00:43:56,867
Speaker 2: by fifth seed Clara Towson in the quarterfinals a short

885
00:43:56,907 --> 00:44:00,187
Speaker 2: time ago. The Danish fifth seed held her nerve in

886
00:44:00,227 --> 00:44:02,947
Speaker 2: a second set tiebreak for a six to four, seven

887
00:44:02,987 --> 00:44:06,467
Speaker 2: to six wins. She will play American Robin Montgomery in

888
00:44:06,467 --> 00:44:08,827
Speaker 2: the first semi from three this afternoon. It also means

889
00:44:08,867 --> 00:44:12,347
Speaker 2: Touson could play three times today. She's had her quarter finals,

890
00:44:12,387 --> 00:44:15,067
Speaker 2: she's got the semifinal, and she's also in the semifinals

891
00:44:15,067 --> 00:44:17,507
Speaker 2: of the doubles. It's a busy old day for her.

892
00:44:17,867 --> 00:44:22,187
Speaker 2: Americans Katie Volinets and Alicia Parks currently playing the last

893
00:44:22,587 --> 00:44:25,267
Speaker 2: of the singles quarter finals before the semis a bit

894
00:44:25,347 --> 00:44:28,627
Speaker 2: later on. You can watch ASB Classic Women's Semifinals live

895
00:44:29,027 --> 00:44:31,947
Speaker 2: on Sky Sport One and stream on Sky Sport Now

896
00:44:32,467 --> 00:44:35,467

Speaker 2: will also have free to air coverage of the first

898
00:44:38,307 --> 00:44:42,187
Speaker 2: semifinal from three this afternoon. Let's bring in former New

899
00:44:42,227 --> 00:44:46,787
Speaker 2: Zealand Davis Cup, representative, director of the Lavvy Tennis Academy

900
00:44:47,107 --> 00:44:49,947
Speaker 2: and expert analyst during Sky Sports coverage of not only

901
00:44:49,987 --> 00:44:54,387
Speaker 2: the women's tournament, but the men's tournament to follow, Sebastian. Sebastian,

902
00:44:54,387 --> 00:44:56,227
Speaker 2: thanks for taking the time. The last of the quarter finals.

903
00:44:56,267 --> 00:45:00,547
Speaker 2: Let's go there, Alicia Parks, Katie Volinets. Can you compare

904
00:45:01,107 --> 00:45:03,707
Speaker 2: and contrast these two players for us?

905
00:45:04,467 --> 00:45:05,227
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, definitely.

906
00:45:05,227 --> 00:45:06,787
Speaker 15: I mean, look, first of all, I think the tournament

907
00:45:06,867 --> 00:45:09,987
Speaker 15: surfer has been really entertaining. I think obviously there's a

908
00:45:10,067 --> 00:45:13,187
Speaker 15: lot of big seeds up front, former Grand Slam champions.

909
00:45:13,547 --> 00:45:15,627
Speaker 15: They got knocked up quite early, so it really opened

910
00:45:15,707 --> 00:45:18,387
Speaker 15: up for a few other players who often don't get

911
00:45:18,427 --> 00:45:20,107
Speaker 15: the chance to play in a semi final or a

912
00:45:20,187 --> 00:45:20,827
Speaker 15: quarter final.

913
00:45:20,667 --> 00:45:21,147
Speaker 14: Of this level.

914
00:45:21,587 --> 00:45:24,587
Speaker 15: I've really enjoyed watching both Volinettes and Parks. Actually they

915
00:45:24,667 --> 00:45:26,867
Speaker 15: bring very different game styles. Volynets is much more of

916
00:45:26,907 --> 00:45:29,907
Speaker 15: an energetic, CounterPunch a type of player, and Parks is

917
00:45:30,027 --> 00:45:32,227
Speaker 15: really a big, powerful server and is trying to take

918
00:45:32,227 --> 00:45:34,067
Speaker 15: her initiative as soon as she can. So I think

919
00:45:34,107 --> 00:45:36,307
Speaker 15: it'll be a really interesting matchup. It's very hard to pick.

920
00:45:36,387 --> 00:45:38,547
Speaker 15: I think that Parks has probably got a little bit

921
00:45:38,587 --> 00:45:42,027
Speaker 15: too much for if she is firing, but Volinets has

922
00:45:42,107 --> 00:45:44,747
Speaker 15: just been really, really relentless on everything. It'll be really

923
00:45:44,787 --> 00:45:45,787
Speaker 15: interesting see how this goes.

924
00:45:46,147 --> 00:45:48,507
Speaker 2: You mentioned the fact that we lost a few of

925
00:45:48,587 --> 00:45:51,667
Speaker 2: the bigger names earlier in the week. We almost lost

926
00:45:51,867 --> 00:45:54,507
Speaker 2: Naomi Osaka yesterday too, didn't we She was a set

927
00:45:54,587 --> 00:45:57,907
Speaker 2: down came back to beat Haley Baptista sixty seven six

928
00:45:58,027 --> 00:46:01,667
Speaker 2: one sixty two. How have you assessed her performances across

929
00:46:01,747 --> 00:46:02,027
Speaker 2: the week?

930
00:46:03,347 --> 00:46:05,587
Speaker 15: Look, I think I think she's actually been performing really well.

931
00:46:05,667 --> 00:46:07,307
Speaker 15: She obviously hasn't played a lot of tennis in the

932
00:46:07,387 --> 00:46:10,307
Speaker 15: last few years. This is her first match since September,

933
00:46:10,387 --> 00:46:13,067
Speaker 15: so for her to come through three rounds against some

934
00:46:13,147 --> 00:46:15,587
Speaker 15: tricky opponents, they weren't necessarily the highest strength, but they're

935
00:46:15,587 --> 00:46:18,067
Speaker 15: still players. With some matches under the belt. Is always

936
00:46:18,067 --> 00:46:20,347
Speaker 15: a good feeling. I think the first set in the

937
00:46:20,387 --> 00:46:23,347
Speaker 15: tournament she played exceptionally well, really really set a high

938
00:46:23,387 --> 00:46:25,507
Speaker 15: standard of play, and then she's been able to get

939
00:46:25,547 --> 00:46:28,467
Speaker 15: through the next ones. I think first set against Baptiste

940
00:46:28,987 --> 00:46:31,067
Speaker 15: probably had a few too many eras in't it. Baptiste

941
00:46:31,107 --> 00:46:33,147
Speaker 15: has got a really difficult game. Star was able to

942
00:46:33,227 --> 00:46:35,347
Speaker 15: mix it up with some slices and had a few

943
00:46:35,387 --> 00:46:37,907
Speaker 15: great passing shots. But then she recovered really well and

944
00:46:38,187 --> 00:46:39,467
Speaker 15: was playing really well at the end, and I know

945
00:46:39,587 --> 00:46:40,827
Speaker 15: she was stoked with that one as well.

946
00:46:41,267 --> 00:46:44,987
Speaker 2: We know Les, I guess about Robin Montgomery, the US

947
00:46:45,067 --> 00:46:47,387
Speaker 2: left hand are currently ranked outside the top one hundred

948
00:46:47,667 --> 00:46:49,707
Speaker 2: in the world. What have you liked about her? Tell

949
00:46:49,747 --> 00:46:50,547
Speaker 2: us a bit about who Gain.

950
00:46:51,347 --> 00:46:52,907
Speaker 15: Yeah, Look, I think we're going to see plenty more

951
00:46:52,947 --> 00:46:55,787
Speaker 15: of her in the future. She's a real big She's

952
00:46:55,827 --> 00:46:58,547
Speaker 15: a real big hope for American tennis. She's a huge

953
00:46:58,667 --> 00:47:00,827
Speaker 15: left handed served, she can swing it left right, she

954
00:47:00,907 --> 00:47:02,987
Speaker 15: can do anything with it, and she's got a really

955
00:47:03,027 --> 00:47:04,867
Speaker 15: good head on her shoulders. I think she's going to

956
00:47:04,907 --> 00:47:06,947
Speaker 15: be actually a top fifty player by the end of

957
00:47:06,987 --> 00:47:08,587
Speaker 15: the year. I wouldn't be surprised if she's in the

958
00:47:08,667 --> 00:47:11,187
Speaker 15: top twenty in the next year. So again it's another

959
00:47:11,227 --> 00:47:13,267
Speaker 15: player that we're able to see before they make it.

960
00:47:13,347 --> 00:47:16,787
Speaker 15: I think Auckland has attendancy really finding these stars before

961
00:47:16,787 --> 00:47:19,667
Speaker 15: they become stars. So I've been really enjoying her match.

962
00:47:19,987 --> 00:47:22,267
Speaker 15: I think that whoever she plays later on will be

963
00:47:22,347 --> 00:47:22,867
Speaker 15: really interesting.

964
00:47:23,227 --> 00:47:26,827
Speaker 2: Surely Osaka and Montgomery would be favorites for the semi

965
00:47:26,907 --> 00:47:29,147
Speaker 2: finals given the facts of bestian By heaven't have to

966
00:47:29,187 --> 00:47:32,227
Speaker 2: play today. The Rhine delay helps them, doesn't it.

967
00:47:33,627 --> 00:47:34,467
Speaker 15: It definitely does.

968
00:47:34,947 --> 00:47:35,587
Speaker 11: It definitely does.

969
00:47:35,707 --> 00:47:39,267
Speaker 15: Having said that, if those players managed to get their

970
00:47:39,307 --> 00:47:42,467
Speaker 15: matches done reasonably quickly, they might not have too much

971
00:47:42,507 --> 00:47:44,827
Speaker 15: tennis in their legs. Sometimes playing in the conditions on

972
00:47:44,947 --> 00:47:47,067
Speaker 15: the day, if it doesn't get you too tired, it's

973
00:47:47,107 --> 00:47:49,827
Speaker 15: actually an advantage. So look, I would say in theory

974
00:47:49,867 --> 00:47:52,267
Speaker 15: they should have an advantage, but it doesn't necessarily mean

975
00:47:52,347 --> 00:47:55,067
Speaker 15: so the other players will have to be wedding around

976
00:47:55,107 --> 00:47:57,427
Speaker 15: little day. Hopefully we don't get too many showers coming

977
00:47:57,467 --> 00:47:59,707
Speaker 15: through today, but it could be a long day. So look,

978
00:47:59,747 --> 00:48:01,507
Speaker 15: it's really anyone's match. I think at the end of

979
00:48:01,507 --> 00:48:03,307
Speaker 15: the day will just come down to those who really

980
00:48:03,347 --> 00:48:05,907
Speaker 15: compete the best and able to play the tennis.

981
00:48:05,907 --> 00:48:08,427
Speaker 2: And big point, how much of a disappointment was it

982
00:48:08,587 --> 00:48:11,427
Speaker 2: to see Lulu sun eliminated so early?

983
00:48:12,827 --> 00:48:14,947
Speaker 15: Look, I think I think as a Kei, we obviously

984
00:48:15,147 --> 00:48:16,627
Speaker 15: would have loved to see her play more in the

985
00:48:16,667 --> 00:48:19,307
Speaker 15: center court. I know that she's obvious had an incredible

986
00:48:19,387 --> 00:48:21,947
Speaker 15: year last year. She's had some big performances, but the

987
00:48:21,987 --> 00:48:24,387
Speaker 15: reality of tennis is you don't win every week. Obviously

988
00:48:24,827 --> 00:48:28,067
Speaker 15: we've seen her quarterfinal run at at Wimbled and we've

989
00:48:28,067 --> 00:48:30,067
Speaker 15: all seen some other big results she's had, but the

990
00:48:30,107 --> 00:48:31,747
Speaker 15: rest of the year players do end up losing a

991
00:48:31,787 --> 00:48:33,587
Speaker 15: lot of matches first and second round, So it's not

992
00:48:34,027 --> 00:48:37,627
Speaker 15: incredibly surprising. But obviously, as a Kiwi and as a

993
00:48:37,707 --> 00:48:39,507
Speaker 15: real marquee player for the event that we'd love to

994
00:48:39,507 --> 00:48:40,187
Speaker 15: see her go far.

995
00:48:41,067 --> 00:48:43,267
Speaker 2: Do you still predict that she will have a big

996
00:48:43,347 --> 00:48:45,307
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five even given what you've said, You're right,

997
00:48:45,387 --> 00:48:48,187
Speaker 2: you know you don't win every week, But have you

998
00:48:48,227 --> 00:48:50,667
Speaker 2: seen enough from Lulu Soun over the last twelve months

999
00:48:50,747 --> 00:48:53,067
Speaker 2: or so? Let's not forget she was only a qualify

1000
00:48:53,187 --> 00:48:55,067
Speaker 2: here last year. Have you seen enough from her to

1001
00:48:55,107 --> 00:48:57,907
Speaker 2: suggest that she has has more gas in the tank

1002
00:48:58,107 --> 00:48:59,107
Speaker 2: in the next few years.

1003
00:48:59,747 --> 00:49:01,507
Speaker 15: One hundred percent. I mean, look, she's had a really

1004
00:49:01,507 --> 00:49:03,347
Speaker 15: big game style. She can hit a powerful ball, so

1005
00:49:03,467 --> 00:49:06,267
Speaker 15: she can now hit a lot of players on tour again.

1006
00:49:06,627 --> 00:49:08,147
Speaker 15: At the end of the day, the way the ranking

1007
00:49:08,187 --> 00:49:10,667
Speaker 15: system works is you don't have to win matches every week.

1008
00:49:10,747 --> 00:49:12,427
Speaker 15: You just have to really peak at the big ones.

1009
00:49:13,027 --> 00:49:14,427
Speaker 15: She's going to have a lot of points to defend

1010
00:49:14,427 --> 00:49:16,587
Speaker 15: at Wimbledon, but she's got plenty of time until then

1011
00:49:16,947 --> 00:49:19,067
Speaker 15: to really wrap up the points. She'll be playing the

1012
00:49:19,187 --> 00:49:21,387
Speaker 15: lastest series now, should be getting a lot of opportunities

1013
00:49:21,427 --> 00:49:24,707
Speaker 15: to compete against higher ranked players. And she's still relatively young.

1014
00:49:24,747 --> 00:49:26,827
Speaker 15: I mean she's only I think twenty two to twenty three,

1015
00:49:26,947 --> 00:49:29,427
Speaker 15: and she's just firing up the ranking, so I would

1016
00:49:29,467 --> 00:49:33,347
Speaker 15: be surprised if she didn't at least get top fifty

1017
00:49:33,627 --> 00:49:35,107
Speaker 15: or maintain top fifty by the end of the year,

1018
00:49:35,107 --> 00:49:37,147
Speaker 15: and then I'd really hope to see her back here

1019
00:49:37,227 --> 00:49:38,107
Speaker 15: next year as one.

1020
00:49:37,947 --> 00:49:38,667
Speaker 3: Of our top seeds.

1021
00:49:39,107 --> 00:49:41,427
Speaker 2: And you alluded to it slightly before as well, around

1022
00:49:41,467 --> 00:49:44,147
Speaker 2: the standard of the week. If you were, you know,

1023
00:49:44,347 --> 00:49:47,747
Speaker 2: to recap the tennis that you've seen. If you know

1024
00:49:47,867 --> 00:49:50,987
Speaker 2: spectators are turned up, that'd be relatively happy with the

1025
00:49:51,067 --> 00:49:52,387
Speaker 2: value for money they're getting.

1026
00:49:52,667 --> 00:49:55,747
Speaker 15: One hundred percent. I mean, look, for me, the match

1027
00:49:55,787 --> 00:49:58,467
Speaker 15: of the week, well, one of the matches of the

1028
00:49:58,507 --> 00:50:01,627
Speaker 15: week was probably the and le versus Sloan Stevens match.

1029
00:50:01,627 --> 00:50:03,827
Speaker 15: Early on we had some really other great matches with

1030
00:50:03,947 --> 00:50:06,187
Speaker 15: Sophia Kennon and Clara Toofs, and those were not necessarily

1031
00:50:06,587 --> 00:50:08,587
Speaker 15: the biggest fans in the drawer, but the matchup just

1032
00:50:08,707 --> 00:50:12,947
Speaker 15: created some incredible tennis. So look, I think watching tass

1033
00:50:13,067 --> 00:50:15,227
Speaker 15: lives and really up close like we're able to do

1034
00:50:15,267 --> 00:50:17,747
Speaker 15: it as Big Bassic is just an experience that it's

1035
00:50:17,827 --> 00:50:20,187
Speaker 15: almost one that you don't get anywhere else, to be honest, Yeah.

1036
00:50:20,107 --> 00:50:21,827
Speaker 2: No, I mean I know that the intimacy of the

1037
00:50:23,387 --> 00:50:27,267
Speaker 2: spectators and the players is a real feature. Just before

1038
00:50:27,307 --> 00:50:29,747
Speaker 2: you go obviously we cross over, now will we start

1039
00:50:29,787 --> 00:50:32,907
Speaker 2: to cross over? Qualifying underway for the men's tournament with

1040
00:50:33,027 --> 00:50:37,187
Speaker 2: the round one main draw proper starting on Monday. I'm

1041
00:50:37,187 --> 00:50:39,067
Speaker 2: no doubt you've had a look at the at the

1042
00:50:39,147 --> 00:50:41,827
Speaker 2: men's draw. Are you excited about the tennis you'll see

1043
00:50:41,867 --> 00:50:42,107
Speaker 2: in the week?

1044
00:50:42,147 --> 00:50:44,907
Speaker 15: You hit from the men one hundred percent. I mean, look,

1045
00:50:44,947 --> 00:50:47,507
Speaker 15: every year we get some amazing surprises, and this year

1046
00:50:47,547 --> 00:50:50,347
Speaker 15: we've got some really very very strong young players coming

1047
00:50:50,347 --> 00:50:54,347
Speaker 15: to Auckland. Probably Giovardi chi Perry Karrave is one player

1048
00:50:54,347 --> 00:50:57,467
Speaker 15: who's just I mean, he's incredible. He's big care of us,

1049
00:50:57,467 --> 00:51:00,107
Speaker 15: he's big for just this week loan in Brisbane. So

1050
00:51:00,227 --> 00:51:02,667
Speaker 15: to have a player like that coming to Auckland, we'll

1051
00:51:02,747 --> 00:51:05,267
Speaker 15: just be really exciting. The person I'm looking forward to

1052
00:51:05,267 --> 00:51:08,787
Speaker 15: seeing us back in action of doubles. He's a new partner,

1053
00:51:09,067 --> 00:51:11,787
Speaker 15: Nicola mctitch, who's performed really well here in the pass

1054
00:51:12,347 --> 00:51:14,907
Speaker 15: and then we've also got Marcus Daniel will be hanging

1055
00:51:14,987 --> 00:51:16,427
Speaker 15: up his reckets at the end of the tournament, so

1056
00:51:16,507 --> 00:51:18,587
Speaker 15: there's plenty of keys to support and I'm sure that

1057
00:51:18,747 --> 00:51:19,787
Speaker 15: this is great tennis coming up.

1058
00:51:20,107 --> 00:51:22,187
Speaker 2: Brilliant to get your analysis, Sebastian, thanks so much for

1059
00:51:22,267 --> 00:51:25,547
Speaker 2: joining us across New Zealand this afternoon. Thank you, no,

1060
00:51:25,627 --> 00:51:28,027
Speaker 2: thank you, Sebastian. Sebastian Levy there. He's part of the

Speaker 2: sky Sport coverage of the ASP Classic, both the women's

Speaker 2: on sky Sport one and streaming on Sky Sport Now

1064
00:51:39,307 --> 00:51:42,907
Speaker 2: from just before three this afternoon. Sky Open will also

1065
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:45,947
Speaker 2: have free to air live coverage of the first semifinal

1066
00:51:46,027 --> 00:51:51,187
Speaker 2: from three this afternoon. Nineteen past one, well I mentioned

1067
00:51:51,227 --> 00:51:53,227
Speaker 2: that Australia had lost a third wicket. They have now

1068
00:51:53,307 --> 00:51:57,307
Speaker 2: lost a fourth. Australia are thirty nine for four, so

1069
00:51:57,587 --> 00:52:01,507
Speaker 2: teetering in their first innings at the SCG. Sam Constace

1070
00:52:02,347 --> 00:52:05,267
Speaker 2: was out for twenty three, quickly followed by Travis Head

1071
00:52:05,267 --> 00:52:08,547
Speaker 2: who came and went very quickly, came in, had a four,

1072
00:52:08,627 --> 00:52:11,227
Speaker 2: then got out for four. Travis Heads had a really

1073
00:52:11,267 --> 00:52:15,747
Speaker 2: interesting series, hasn't He was incredible early on eighty nine

1074
00:52:15,947 --> 00:52:17,787
Speaker 2: and the second is of the First Test one hundred

1075
00:52:17,787 --> 00:52:20,067
Speaker 2: and forty and has only bat in the Second Test

1076
00:52:20,067 --> 00:52:21,787
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty two in the third Test, but

1077
00:52:21,867 --> 00:52:25,787
Speaker 2: since then seventeen nought one and four, So certainly a

1078
00:52:25,907 --> 00:52:29,547

00:54:32,387 --> 00:54:35,147
Speaker 18: We know the job we've got to do. We know

1118
00:54:35,267 --> 00:54:38,427
Speaker 18: the rewards that are there for us as well. So yeah,

1119
00:54:38,467 --> 00:54:41,147
Speaker 18: it's exciting times. We just got to get there now

1120
00:54:41,227 --> 00:54:42,667
Speaker 18: to march and get this job done.

1121
00:54:43,067 --> 00:54:47,467
Speaker 2: You should win these two games. How do you avoid complacency?

1122
00:54:47,587 --> 00:54:49,867
Speaker 2: How do you prepare for these two matches?

1123
00:54:50,627 --> 00:54:50,827
Speaker 14: Yeah?

1124
00:54:50,867 --> 00:54:53,507
Speaker 18: I mean you're right when you look at the opposition.

1125
00:54:53,787 --> 00:54:55,307
Speaker 18: You know the games we should win. We know that,

1126
00:54:55,947 --> 00:54:59,387
Speaker 18: but it's also football and that brings slightly different challenges.

1127
00:54:59,507 --> 00:55:02,587
Speaker 18: So you know, we've been pretty safe through all of

1128
00:55:02,667 --> 00:55:06,307
Speaker 18: these games against the Oceana opposition. We're going to these

1129
00:55:06,427 --> 00:55:11,707
Speaker 18: games slightly differently mindset to when we're playing Mexico a USA,

1130
00:55:12,187 --> 00:55:14,227
Speaker 18: where you know, we just need to be safe and

1131
00:55:14,427 --> 00:55:15,187
Speaker 18: just do our jobs.

1132
00:55:15,227 --> 00:55:15,387
Speaker 3: Here.

1133
00:55:15,427 --> 00:55:16,827
Speaker 18: You know, we need to make sure that we've got

1134
00:55:16,867 --> 00:55:20,507
Speaker 18: super discipline because you know, we know if we stay

1135
00:55:20,547 --> 00:55:23,867
Speaker 18: in the games and nothing nothing happens untoward within these games,

1136
00:55:23,867 --> 00:55:26,107
Speaker 18: we're going to get chances to score goals and you know,

1137
00:55:26,227 --> 00:55:29,107
Speaker 18: ultimately we've got a chance to win the game. So yeah,

1138
00:55:29,187 --> 00:55:33,427
Speaker 18: well we'll take every opposition the same. We'll do all

1139
00:55:33,507 --> 00:55:36,147
Speaker 18: the analysis and make sure that we're prepared and we

1140
00:55:36,267 --> 00:55:38,987
Speaker 18: know what we're coming up against, and we're just yeah,

1141
00:55:39,027 --> 00:55:42,027
Speaker 18: we treat every game the same, but knowing that, you know,

1142
00:55:42,547 --> 00:55:44,547
Speaker 18: these games we need to we need to just get

1143
00:55:44,627 --> 00:55:45,227
Speaker 18: this job done.

1144
00:55:45,707 --> 00:55:48,467
Speaker 2: So last time you were together was mid November, so

1145
00:55:48,627 --> 00:55:51,267
Speaker 2: by the time these roll around, it'll be four months

1146
00:55:51,307 --> 00:55:53,747
Speaker 2: apart from the team. How much contact do you have

1147
00:55:53,907 --> 00:55:56,467
Speaker 2: with your players and will you over the next couple

1148
00:55:56,507 --> 00:55:57,107
Speaker 2: of months.

1149
00:55:57,867 --> 00:56:00,227
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean in contact with them pretty regularly. You know,

1150
00:56:00,347 --> 00:56:03,827
Speaker 18: we watch with technology nowadays and we're able to watch

1151
00:56:03,987 --> 00:56:05,787
Speaker 18: most of the games that they play in around the

1152
00:56:05,827 --> 00:56:08,027
Speaker 18: world and they are We get the highlights, we get

1153
00:56:08,067 --> 00:56:10,387
Speaker 18: all their actions. So yeah, we can keep in touch

1154
00:56:10,467 --> 00:56:12,867
Speaker 18: with what they're doing, how they're playing, how many minutes

1155
00:56:12,867 --> 00:56:15,667
Speaker 18: they're playing, how fit they are, and then just keeping

1156
00:56:15,707 --> 00:56:17,787
Speaker 18: regular contact with them and just make sure that we're

1157
00:56:17,827 --> 00:56:19,907
Speaker 18: all connected. It's a it's a major part of us,

1158
00:56:19,987 --> 00:56:23,227
Speaker 18: our culture and our connection. You know, we're a real

1159
00:56:23,307 --> 00:56:25,787
Speaker 18: cohesive squad when we get together, the players sort of

1160
00:56:26,307 --> 00:56:28,547
Speaker 18: you know, I've known each other for a long time.

1161
00:56:28,667 --> 00:56:30,627
Speaker 18: Some of them you know, grew up together, some played

1162
00:56:30,667 --> 00:56:33,267
Speaker 18: together when they were sort of growing up in different clubs,

1163
00:56:33,347 --> 00:56:37,107
Speaker 18: and so yeah, coming together the culture and the environment

1164
00:56:37,307 --> 00:56:40,387
Speaker 18: is key, just bringing them bringing them back together. So

1165
00:56:40,827 --> 00:56:43,267
Speaker 18: it'll be a bit of a gap from November, but

1166
00:56:43,547 --> 00:56:46,347
Speaker 18: you know, I just know when the boys get together

1167
00:56:46,427 --> 00:56:47,787
Speaker 18: that they'll be ready for these games.

1168
00:56:48,027 --> 00:56:50,307
Speaker 2: Do you operate bays with a leadership group? Is there

1169
00:56:50,347 --> 00:56:52,467
Speaker 2: a leadership group within your playing squad?

1170
00:56:53,267 --> 00:56:53,627
Speaker 14: Yeah, we do.

1171
00:56:53,747 --> 00:56:56,507
Speaker 18: We have a kaitiaki, which are our guardians, guardians of

1172
00:56:56,547 --> 00:57:00,027
Speaker 18: our environment and guardians of the connection, which is the

1173
00:57:00,107 --> 00:57:03,467
Speaker 18: same as our leadership group with players. So yeah, they're key,

1174
00:57:03,627 --> 00:57:06,027
Speaker 18: you know some, and it's a mix in that group

1175
00:57:06,147 --> 00:57:10,547
Speaker 18: of of age and experience and different sort of people

1176
00:57:10,667 --> 00:57:11,467
Speaker 18: within that group.

1177
00:57:11,587 --> 00:57:12,707
Speaker 14: But yeah, we're lucky.

1178
00:57:12,787 --> 00:57:15,827
Speaker 18: We've got such a big squad now of really experienced,

1179
00:57:15,947 --> 00:57:18,827
Speaker 18: good players that we can call upon, you know, options

1180
00:57:18,867 --> 00:57:20,707
Speaker 18: in every position now, which is which is great.

1181
00:57:20,747 --> 00:57:22,707
Speaker 14: We're in a really lucky position at the moment and.

1182
00:57:22,787 --> 00:57:25,027
Speaker 2: A challenging one for you as a coach because you're

1183
00:57:25,067 --> 00:57:28,187
Speaker 2: in the position now where you have more good players

1184
00:57:28,227 --> 00:57:32,467
Speaker 2: then you can fit into your squads. So what informs

1185
00:57:32,547 --> 00:57:35,947
Speaker 2: your selection decisions? How do you go about those those

1186
00:57:36,027 --> 00:57:37,467
Speaker 2: decision making processes.

1187
00:57:38,147 --> 00:57:39,947
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's getting tougher, you know some.

1188
00:57:40,787 --> 00:57:42,707
Speaker 18: You've got some players like Woodsy and Libya and that

1189
00:57:42,907 --> 00:57:45,747
Speaker 18: that you just know, you know, automatic selections at the

1190
00:57:45,787 --> 00:57:48,667
Speaker 18: moment with what they're doing in their personal careers. And

1191
00:57:48,707 --> 00:57:50,827
Speaker 18: we've got other players that are you know, having having

1192
00:57:50,947 --> 00:57:54,507
Speaker 18: really successful moments within their with their careisma. But yeah,

1193
00:57:54,547 --> 00:57:57,027
Speaker 18: we check on form fitness, you know, what they did

1194
00:57:57,067 --> 00:57:58,827
Speaker 18: with us the last time, how they fit in the

1195
00:57:58,867 --> 00:58:01,387
Speaker 18: balance of the team, you know, what we need to

1196
00:58:01,507 --> 00:58:02,427
Speaker 18: do in each game.

1197
00:58:03,347 --> 00:58:04,107
Speaker 14: So there's lots go.

1198
00:58:04,227 --> 00:58:08,147
Speaker 18: Into the selections and obviously I've got myself and Simon Elliott,

1199
00:58:08,187 --> 00:58:10,307
Speaker 18: Tony Reddings, you know, Paul Gotha that you know, we

1200
00:58:10,427 --> 00:58:13,387
Speaker 18: always have different opinions to be fair as well on

1201
00:58:13,667 --> 00:58:15,867
Speaker 18: who we think should should be starting in each position.

1202
00:58:16,027 --> 00:58:18,067
Speaker 18: And the good thing for us as well is not

1203
00:58:18,147 --> 00:58:20,627
Speaker 18: only do we have lots of good options and players,

1204
00:58:20,667 --> 00:58:23,387
Speaker 18: but we have lots of players that are pretty flexible positionally,

1205
00:58:23,787 --> 00:58:26,227
Speaker 18: you know, that could play in different positions. So yeah,

1206
00:58:26,347 --> 00:58:29,747
Speaker 18: making those decisions on starting eleven sometimes is a bit

1207
00:58:29,787 --> 00:58:30,427
Speaker 18: of a process.

1208
00:58:30,787 --> 00:58:33,307
Speaker 2: You and I've spoken before about the whiteboard in your office.

1209
00:58:33,307 --> 00:58:34,867
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if it's an extra white boarder wither

1210
00:58:34,947 --> 00:58:37,147
Speaker 2: it's a spreadsheet on your laptop, but it's kind of

1211
00:58:37,187 --> 00:58:40,547
Speaker 2: the depth chart I guess for New Zealand footballers playing

1212
00:58:40,587 --> 00:58:42,747
Speaker 2: around the world. How many names, Rick can you get

1213
00:58:42,827 --> 00:58:43,067
Speaker 2: up there?

1214
00:58:43,867 --> 00:58:46,787
Speaker 18: Well, we've got about fifty eight at the moment. And yeah,

1215
00:58:46,907 --> 00:58:49,107
Speaker 18: it actually is a whiteboard. It's a spreadsheet as well.

1216
00:58:49,507 --> 00:58:52,707
Speaker 18: There's numerous spreadsheets. But yeah, I like in the office

1217
00:58:52,747 --> 00:58:54,667
Speaker 18: to have the visual of the of the names and

1218
00:58:54,707 --> 00:58:56,947
Speaker 18: the whiteboards so that we can see the balances and

1219
00:58:57,507 --> 00:59:00,187
Speaker 18: know what we've got underneath each player. You know, we

1220
00:59:00,347 --> 00:59:03,027
Speaker 18: know we've got certain players. But when you you know,

1221
00:59:03,147 --> 00:59:05,507
Speaker 18: even for someone like Libby, when you look underneath Libby

1222
00:59:05,547 --> 00:59:08,547
Speaker 18: and there's this five or six of players that are

1223
00:59:09,027 --> 00:59:12,907
Speaker 18: underneath him, competing to challenge or competing to be that

1224
00:59:13,067 --> 00:59:15,907
Speaker 18: number two spot for the left back position, is great

1225
00:59:15,947 --> 00:59:18,107
Speaker 18: to see, and then it sort of helps us just

1226
00:59:18,227 --> 00:59:20,347
Speaker 18: keep an eye on everybody really around the world what

1227
00:59:20,387 --> 00:59:22,987
Speaker 18: they're doing. You know, you've got in the left back position,

1228
00:59:23,067 --> 00:59:27,227
Speaker 18: You've got Dalton some Suddon, You've got James McGarry playing

1229
00:59:27,347 --> 00:59:31,347
Speaker 18: over there. You know, Lucas Galli Hill coming through. There's

1230
00:59:31,427 --> 00:59:33,907
Speaker 18: loads of loads of options. Francis very sorry, I misus,

1231
00:59:33,907 --> 00:59:36,867
Speaker 18: frantsis there so loads of options underneath Libby and we

1232
00:59:36,987 --> 00:59:40,427
Speaker 18: getting there in almost every position now, which is great

1233
00:59:40,427 --> 00:59:40,667
Speaker 18: for us.

1234
00:59:40,827 --> 00:59:41,027
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1235
00:59:41,067 --> 00:59:43,987
Speaker 2: You haven't center back too, haven't you? Because I look

1236
00:59:43,987 --> 00:59:46,387
Speaker 2: at Michael box All, who's been around forever but still

1237
00:59:46,427 --> 00:59:48,187
Speaker 2: seems to be about twenty three years old. I know

1238
00:59:48,267 --> 00:59:51,747
Speaker 2: he's not Nanda Pinniker, who's naturally left sided. Then Finn

1239
00:59:51,827 --> 00:59:56,467
Speaker 2: Sermon Tyler Binden, who's just turning heads everywhere he goes.

1240
00:59:56,827 --> 00:59:59,867
Speaker 2: You must look at that whiteboard and think to yourself,

1241
01:00:00,107 --> 01:00:02,267
Speaker 2: we're probably in as good a position as we have

1242
01:00:02,387 --> 01:00:02,827
Speaker 2: ever been.

1243
01:00:04,027 --> 01:00:07,787
Speaker 14: Definitely. Yeah, it's a really strong, wider squad now and

1244
01:00:08,307 --> 01:00:08,547
Speaker 14: it is.

1245
01:00:08,627 --> 01:00:11,907
Speaker 18: It's getting to the stage now where every squad name,

1246
01:00:12,347 --> 01:00:13,747
Speaker 18: we're leaving good players out.

1247
01:00:13,867 --> 01:00:14,027
Speaker 3: You know.

1248
01:00:14,107 --> 01:00:16,347
Speaker 18: The last few squads we've left players out like Alex

1249
01:00:16,387 --> 01:00:18,947
Speaker 18: Greeb and Max Matter and you know, and people of

1250
01:00:19,347 --> 01:00:21,867
Speaker 18: other players have miss squads, you know, Callum's miss squads,

1251
01:00:21,867 --> 01:00:25,547
Speaker 18: so ourbred's miss squads, you know. But whoever we choose

1252
01:00:25,627 --> 01:00:27,907
Speaker 18: comes in and does a great job. So I think

1253
01:00:27,947 --> 01:00:31,027
Speaker 18: that's great for us now. The players know they're competing,

1254
01:00:31,067 --> 01:00:34,547
Speaker 18: they're challenging, and they have to perform within their club

1255
01:00:34,627 --> 01:00:36,907
Speaker 18: environments and when they come into us as well. And

1256
01:00:37,387 --> 01:00:39,507
Speaker 18: the rewards are so big now, you know. Obviously we've

1257
01:00:39,507 --> 01:00:41,987
Speaker 18: got these two games that we need to do our

1258
01:00:42,067 --> 01:00:44,387
Speaker 18: job on, you know, but the reward for that is

1259
01:00:44,467 --> 01:00:46,467
Speaker 18: going to a World Cup in twenty twenty six, which

1260
01:00:47,067 --> 01:00:50,147
Speaker 18: every footballer dreams of. And they all sort of now

1261
01:00:50,267 --> 01:00:53,307
Speaker 18: competing with each other as well as you know, other

1262
01:00:53,387 --> 01:00:54,747
Speaker 18: teams to perform.

1263
01:00:55,067 --> 01:00:57,107
Speaker 2: That's the most important thing for you buys that they

1264
01:00:57,147 --> 01:00:59,707
Speaker 2: are playing regularly at club level.

1265
01:01:00,867 --> 01:01:04,187
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean, that's key that they're playing. It's not

1266
01:01:04,347 --> 01:01:06,867
Speaker 18: always as easy as that, we've got some players pretty

1267
01:01:06,987 --> 01:01:10,147
Speaker 18: high level environments, like a Marco Staminich at the moment,

1268
01:01:10,227 --> 01:01:13,227
Speaker 18: that's obviously a very very good player. It isn't getting

1269
01:01:13,227 --> 01:01:15,467
Speaker 18: as many minutes as he'd want, but you know, we

1270
01:01:15,587 --> 01:01:19,707
Speaker 18: know that he's he's fine, he'll he'll be great, He's

1271
01:01:19,747 --> 01:01:22,387
Speaker 18: going to have a great career. He's just in a

1272
01:01:22,507 --> 01:01:25,307
Speaker 18: club at the moment. The competition for him is really

1273
01:01:25,347 --> 01:01:29,067
Speaker 18: tough in his position and within that squad. So I

1274
01:01:29,147 --> 01:01:31,547
Speaker 18: think it's a mix of you know, we want players

1275
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:33,747
Speaker 18: to be playing because we know they'll come in, you know,

1276
01:01:34,427 --> 01:01:37,587
Speaker 18: not ready to play, but also, you know, we know

1277
01:01:37,667 --> 01:01:39,907
Speaker 18: the levels of the players around around the world and

1278
01:01:40,187 --> 01:01:42,147
Speaker 18: who they are and what they've done with us previously.

1279
01:01:42,267 --> 01:01:44,747
Speaker 18: So there's a lot of considerations taken into place when

1280
01:01:44,827 --> 01:01:46,067
Speaker 18: we when we select squads.

1281
01:01:46,227 --> 01:01:48,147
Speaker 2: Yeah, you talk about high level environments and then you

1282
01:01:48,667 --> 01:01:51,267
Speaker 2: talk about the Premier League. How much are you enjoying

1283
01:01:52,027 --> 01:01:55,147
Speaker 2: watching Chris Wood in Korea beast form.

1284
01:01:54,987 --> 01:01:55,427
Speaker 14: At the moment.

1285
01:01:56,347 --> 01:01:59,227
Speaker 18: It's amazing. You know, I'm not sure we'll ever get

1286
01:01:59,227 --> 01:02:01,747
Speaker 18: another player that's doing what he's doing right now. You know,

1287
01:02:01,907 --> 01:02:04,627
Speaker 18: he's he's you know, the second in the Premier League.

1288
01:02:04,667 --> 01:02:06,347
Speaker 18: He's one of the top scorers in the Premier League.

1289
01:02:06,547 --> 01:02:10,267
Speaker 18: He's yeah, he's literally on fire. So you know, for me,

1290
01:02:10,587 --> 01:02:13,747
Speaker 18: my job of watching Premier League football and watching Woodsy

1291
01:02:13,827 --> 01:02:16,667
Speaker 18: performer is great. You know, I spend a lot of

1292
01:02:16,707 --> 01:02:20,227
Speaker 18: time watching football of different levels around the world.

1293
01:02:20,387 --> 01:02:23,107
Speaker 14: And then suddenly you get to like, I'll say, scout.

1294
01:02:23,187 --> 01:02:25,747
Speaker 18: We don't need to scout Woodsy, but we're definitely monitoring

1295
01:02:25,827 --> 01:02:28,227
Speaker 18: him and we're watching Premier League football while we're doing it,

1296
01:02:28,307 --> 01:02:29,427
Speaker 18: which is which is amazing.

1297
01:02:29,747 --> 01:02:32,987
Speaker 2: There is starting goalkeeper still a live discussion.

1298
01:02:33,547 --> 01:02:33,787
Speaker 3: It is.

1299
01:02:34,147 --> 01:02:35,947
Speaker 14: You know, again, we've got great options.

1300
01:02:36,147 --> 01:02:36,307
Speaker 3: You know.

1301
01:02:36,947 --> 01:02:40,147
Speaker 18: Obviously Max Crocom's been the number one for the last

1302
01:02:40,227 --> 01:02:42,587
Speaker 18: few years really and he's doing very well. He's playing

1303
01:02:42,627 --> 01:02:45,067
Speaker 18: at a high levels, playing every week in a tough

1304
01:02:45,227 --> 01:02:48,067
Speaker 18: environment in League One and you know his club are

1305
01:02:48,147 --> 01:02:50,307
Speaker 18: struggling at the bottom of the table, which means he

1306
01:02:50,387 --> 01:02:53,187
Speaker 18: gets a lot of action. But again he's doing very well.

1307
01:02:53,227 --> 01:02:56,427
Speaker 18: But then you've got Alex Poulson, who's you know, he's

1308
01:02:56,467 --> 01:02:59,107
Speaker 18: a younger player, you know, he's still that potential player,

1309
01:02:59,187 --> 01:03:01,947
Speaker 18: is in his sort of second year of professional playing now,

1310
01:03:02,067 --> 01:03:04,827
Speaker 18: but has had this run at the Phoenix last year

1311
01:03:04,867 --> 01:03:07,427
Speaker 18: and got his big move and now had this run

1312
01:03:07,467 --> 01:03:09,707
Speaker 18: of clean sheets at Auckland and again playing with a

1313
01:03:09,747 --> 01:03:13,147
Speaker 18: lot of confidence and doing very well. So he's definitely

1314
01:03:13,307 --> 01:03:17,827
Speaker 18: the future. He's the younger one obviously and he's pushing.

1315
01:03:18,467 --> 01:03:21,267
Speaker 18: But behind him, you know, you've got your Holy Sales

1316
01:03:21,347 --> 01:03:24,227
Speaker 18: and Nick Zanev who's playing again at Northampton over in

1317
01:03:24,267 --> 01:03:27,107
Speaker 18: England at the moment, and a load of younger players.

1318
01:03:28,027 --> 01:03:30,227
Speaker 18: Younger goal kid was Henry Gray in case sims that

1319
01:03:30,307 --> 01:03:35,307
Speaker 18: are professionals now in pretty good levels. It's another position

1320
01:03:35,507 --> 01:03:39,507
Speaker 18: where we've got decisions to make and tough, tough decisions

1321
01:03:39,547 --> 01:03:41,427
Speaker 18: for not only the squads but for the start and

1322
01:03:41,467 --> 01:03:42,067
Speaker 18: eleven and.

1323
01:03:42,107 --> 01:03:43,667
Speaker 2: One guy is not playing at the moment for injury

1324
01:03:43,787 --> 01:03:46,587
Speaker 2: is being old. I know it's home over the Christmas break,

1325
01:03:47,267 --> 01:03:50,547
Speaker 2: continuing this reheab, have you got any idea on whether

1326
01:03:50,627 --> 01:03:51,987
Speaker 2: being old might be available for you?

1327
01:03:52,107 --> 01:03:55,627
Speaker 18: And March, well, it's it is a tough spot for him.

1328
01:03:55,667 --> 01:03:57,627
Speaker 18: You know, he's he's picked up this injury at a

1329
01:03:57,667 --> 01:04:00,387
Speaker 18: bad time. You know, he was just really getting himself

1330
01:04:00,427 --> 01:04:03,347
Speaker 18: going in lot of legal and doing so well with

1331
01:04:03,507 --> 01:04:07,227
Speaker 18: us and with niece, So yeah, that's tough. He's I

1332
01:04:07,307 --> 01:04:11,267
Speaker 18: think March is probably touch and go. I think he'll

1333
01:04:11,347 --> 01:04:15,067
Speaker 18: be back, just back playing around those sort of dates.

1334
01:04:15,147 --> 01:04:18,547
Speaker 18: But whether leaving his club, you know, having just recovered

1335
01:04:18,587 --> 01:04:21,147
Speaker 18: from injury and coming to international football is the right

1336
01:04:21,227 --> 01:04:23,987
Speaker 18: thing for him and the club, we're not sure. So

1337
01:04:24,107 --> 01:04:27,667
Speaker 18: at the moment, we're just monitoring him. It's an injury

1338
01:04:27,787 --> 01:04:29,987
Speaker 18: that you know, it could be could be quicker, but

1339
01:04:30,107 --> 01:04:33,067
Speaker 18: it's also an injury where they may just take a

1340
01:04:33,147 --> 01:04:35,307
Speaker 18: bit of time just to make sure that it recovers

1341
01:04:35,347 --> 01:04:38,187
Speaker 18: properly before they throw him back into football. So in

1342
01:04:38,307 --> 01:04:40,787
Speaker 18: the ladder case, would mean he'd probably miss out in March.

1343
01:04:41,467 --> 01:04:43,387
Speaker 2: Did you know that Tyler Bunden, one of your center backs,

1344
01:04:43,427 --> 01:04:45,747
Speaker 2: had the overhead kick goal and his locker.

1345
01:04:47,267 --> 01:04:49,947
Speaker 18: I wasn't sure he had that, but yeah, he's I mean,

1346
01:04:51,187 --> 01:04:54,907
Speaker 18: Tyler can do almost anything. You know, he's nineteen years old.

1347
01:04:55,267 --> 01:04:58,587
Speaker 18: He's playing so much football. He's got caps now, he's

1348
01:04:58,627 --> 01:05:01,107
Speaker 18: got goals for New Zealand and for Reading. He's going

1349
01:05:01,187 --> 01:05:02,787
Speaker 18: to get a big move in the next few weeks,

1350
01:05:03,187 --> 01:05:05,507
Speaker 18: which will be the next step for him. Whether he

1351
01:05:05,547 --> 01:05:08,227
Speaker 18: gets a big, big move, I'm not sure, but I

1352
01:05:08,307 --> 01:05:10,507
Speaker 18: think right now I think just having that next step

1353
01:05:10,547 --> 01:05:12,387
Speaker 18: for him is great, you know, moving up a level,

1354
01:05:12,867 --> 01:05:15,147
Speaker 18: you know, and keep playing is probably key for him.

1355
01:05:15,187 --> 01:05:19,267
Speaker 18: But yeah, he's nineteen years old and he's got a

1356
01:05:19,347 --> 01:05:20,867
Speaker 18: wonderful career ahead of him, certainly.

1357
01:05:21,147 --> 01:05:23,307
Speaker 2: Orright, let's circle back to these World Cup games to finish.

1358
01:05:23,827 --> 01:05:26,267
Speaker 2: If you qualify for the World Cup, if all goes well,

1359
01:05:26,307 --> 01:05:28,627
Speaker 2: you win these two games and you qualify. There's a

1360
01:05:28,707 --> 01:05:31,307
Speaker 2: long time between March and June of next year when

1361
01:05:31,307 --> 01:05:35,227
Speaker 2: the World Cup takes place, so ideally, how many games

1362
01:05:35,227 --> 01:05:36,787
Speaker 2: would you like to play in that time?

1363
01:05:37,587 --> 01:05:40,587
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean we would be you know, if everything

1364
01:05:40,667 --> 01:05:42,987
Speaker 18: goes to plan, we would be the first team in

1365
01:05:43,027 --> 01:05:45,347
Speaker 18: the world to qualify for the World Cup apart from

1366
01:05:45,387 --> 01:05:47,987
Speaker 18: the hosts, you know, which puts us in a really

1367
01:05:48,027 --> 01:05:50,667
Speaker 18: good position of you know, being able to get some

1368
01:05:50,867 --> 01:05:53,387
Speaker 18: really good games in the build ups. So I will

1369
01:05:53,427 --> 01:05:57,147
Speaker 18: play every window, you know, loosing football Andrew Pregnant said

1370
01:05:57,187 --> 01:05:59,627
Speaker 18: that now we're going to play every window. And I

1371
01:05:59,667 --> 01:06:02,467
Speaker 18: think having if we are that team that's qualified for

1372
01:06:02,547 --> 01:06:05,547
Speaker 18: the World Cup will be wanted by a lot of countries.

1373
01:06:05,627 --> 01:06:08,387
Speaker 18: You know, everybody want to play against potential teams that

1374
01:06:08,427 --> 01:06:10,707
Speaker 18: are at the World Cup. So I think we'll be

1375
01:06:10,707 --> 01:06:13,227
Speaker 18: in a really good position to pick up some really

1376
01:06:13,267 --> 01:06:16,507
Speaker 18: good games. The hard thing is a lot of the windows.

1377
01:06:16,667 --> 01:06:19,427
Speaker 18: You know, there's obviously the five fiefa windows throughout the year.

1378
01:06:20,227 --> 01:06:22,187
Speaker 18: The hard thing would then be that actually a lot

1379
01:06:22,227 --> 01:06:24,547
Speaker 18: of those windows were already used up for other teams,

1380
01:06:24,827 --> 01:06:27,667
Speaker 18: you know, in their World Cup qualifiers, which would obviously

1381
01:06:27,747 --> 01:06:29,987
Speaker 18: mean that they wouldn't be available for us to play against.

1382
01:06:30,027 --> 01:06:32,747
Speaker 18: So it's a good position, but it's also a challenging

1383
01:06:32,827 --> 01:06:36,627
Speaker 18: and a little bit tricky finding countries that I've got

1384
01:06:36,667 --> 01:06:39,107
Speaker 18: three windows and are able to play against us.

1385
01:06:39,387 --> 01:06:41,307
Speaker 2: All, let's get March out of the way first. An

1386
01:06:41,307 --> 01:06:44,187
Speaker 2: exciting few months ahead of you, your players in New

1387
01:06:44,267 --> 01:06:46,387
Speaker 2: Zealand football fans base. Thanks for updidding us so early

1388
01:06:46,427 --> 01:06:48,187
Speaker 2: in the year. We'll catch up again soon.

1389
01:06:48,667 --> 01:06:49,827
Speaker 14: Cheers play any catch up soon?

1390
01:06:50,027 --> 01:06:52,507
Speaker 2: Cheers, cheers are there and Darren basically they're the coach

1391
01:06:52,507 --> 01:06:55,387
Speaker 2: of the All Whites. Yeah, so yeah, it is an

1392
01:06:55,387 --> 01:06:58,627
Speaker 2: exciting time. Never before has New Zealand had the opportunity

1393
01:06:58,667 --> 01:07:01,827
Speaker 2: to qualify for our World Cup automatically out of Oceanny.

1394
01:07:01,867 --> 01:07:04,707
Speaker 2: Of the previous two times back in nineteen eighty two,

1395
01:07:04,827 --> 01:07:08,227
Speaker 2: it was Asia Oceanny qualifying went through a whole bunch

1396
01:07:08,267 --> 01:07:10,507
Speaker 2: of games, fifteen games, that New Zealand team had to

1397
01:07:10,587 --> 01:07:13,427
Speaker 2: play to reach the World Cup in Spain in nineteen

1398
01:07:13,507 --> 01:07:16,507
Speaker 2: eighty two, and then of course in twenty ten, when

1399
01:07:16,827 --> 01:07:18,947
Speaker 2: New Zealand made it to South Africa. That was off

1400
01:07:18,987 --> 01:07:23,267
Speaker 2: the back of a two legged intercontinental playoff, the second

1401
01:07:23,307 --> 01:07:26,707
Speaker 2: leg of which they famously won one nill against Bahrain

1402
01:07:26,827 --> 01:07:29,547
Speaker 2: in Wellington and November of two thousand and nine, and

1403
01:07:29,587 --> 01:07:31,547
Speaker 2: off to the World Cup they went. That's been the

1404
01:07:31,627 --> 01:07:34,667
Speaker 2: route for the last few and New Zealand hasn't been

1405
01:07:34,707 --> 01:07:37,107
Speaker 2: able to get there. They weren't able to get past

1406
01:07:37,267 --> 01:07:40,347
Speaker 2: Mexico for the twenty fourteen World Cup, weren't able to

1407
01:07:40,427 --> 01:07:44,387
Speaker 2: get past Peru for the twenty eighteen World Cup. In

1408
01:07:44,467 --> 01:07:47,587
Speaker 2: a one off game against Costa Rica to qualify for

1409
01:07:47,667 --> 01:07:50,227
Speaker 2: the World Cup in twenty twenty two in Qatar, they

1410
01:07:50,667 --> 01:07:52,587
Speaker 2: were beaten one nill in that game as well. So

1411
01:07:53,227 --> 01:07:56,507
Speaker 2: the days of intercontinental playoffs, certainly for the winner of

1412
01:07:56,587 --> 01:07:59,187
Speaker 2: Oceania are gone because the other part of this is

1413
01:07:59,267 --> 01:08:03,387
Speaker 2: that whoever makes the final and is the losing finalist

1414
01:08:03,947 --> 01:08:08,107
Speaker 2: in Oceania goes in intercontinental playoffs, so there is a

1415
01:08:08,147 --> 01:08:11,467
Speaker 2: second chance for that team. New Zealand obviously will be

1416
01:08:11,547 --> 01:08:14,587
Speaker 2: hoping and I think most people would be expecting that

1417
01:08:14,707 --> 01:08:17,947
Speaker 2: they would win the final and make their way directly

1418
01:08:18,027 --> 01:08:21,827
Speaker 2: into the World Cup next year. Exciting times updating the

1419
01:08:21,907 --> 01:08:24,227
Speaker 2: live sport that's happening around the place across the Tasman

1420
01:08:24,267 --> 01:08:27,587
Speaker 2: have just taken drinks on the second morning of the

1421
01:08:27,867 --> 01:08:31,907
Speaker 2: final Test between India and Indian and Australia. Australia fifty

1422
01:08:31,947 --> 01:08:35,147
Speaker 2: eight for four in their first innings with Steve Smith

1423
01:08:35,307 --> 01:08:40,147
Speaker 2: and debutante Bo Webster together. Steve Smith unbeaten on seventeen.

1424
01:08:40,307 --> 01:08:43,267
Speaker 2: Bow Webster has hit his first Test boundary. He is

1425
01:08:43,387 --> 01:08:46,627
Speaker 2: unbeaten on six. Jasp Brick Bomra has two wickets. He

1426
01:08:46,747 --> 01:08:51,027
Speaker 2: now has thirty two wickets in this series. That is

1427
01:08:51,387 --> 01:08:54,547
Speaker 2: the most by an Indian bowler in a Test series

1428
01:08:54,707 --> 01:08:59,627
Speaker 2: in Australia. He has been absolutely superb across this entire series.

1429
01:09:00,027 --> 01:09:05,107
Speaker 2: He's captaining the team too in this game after Rowat

1430
01:09:05,187 --> 01:09:09,507
Speaker 2: Shama was left doubt but thirty two wickets thirty two

1431
01:09:09,547 --> 01:09:13,027
Speaker 2: wickets for Bomra and there's still well six to four

1432
01:09:13,107 --> 01:09:16,147
Speaker 2: in listenings and another ten potentially in the second inning.

1433
01:09:16,267 --> 01:09:18,707
Speaker 2: So goodness only knows what number hell end up with.

1434
01:09:18,747 --> 01:09:21,667
Speaker 2: Could be closer to forty and in the supersmash, the

1435
01:09:21,707 --> 01:09:27,467
Speaker 2: Blaze have recovered slightly from their their earlier trials and tribulations.

1436
01:09:27,507 --> 01:09:31,347
Speaker 2: Batting first against Central and Nelson, there's seventy for four,

1437
01:09:31,827 --> 01:09:34,627
Speaker 2: seventy for four after fourteen overs. Jess Kerr off the

1438
01:09:34,667 --> 01:09:37,267
Speaker 2: back of her unbeaten sixty odd the other day in

1439
01:09:37,427 --> 01:09:40,027
Speaker 2: the first match of the season is thirty not out.

1440
01:09:40,307 --> 01:09:43,427
Speaker 2: Kate Chandler is there with her on four not out

1441
01:09:44,507 --> 01:09:46,427
Speaker 2: nearly twenty to two. We'll take another break when we

1442
01:09:46,507 --> 01:09:48,787
Speaker 2: come back across the Tasman will go catch up with

1443
01:09:48,947 --> 01:09:51,587

1448
01:10:04,707 --> 01:10:07,987
Speaker 2: Let's get you across the Tasman correspondent at this time

1449
01:10:08,107 --> 01:10:11,627
Speaker 2: most Saturday afternoons is Adam Peacock, who joins us now

1450
01:10:11,667 --> 01:10:13,387
Speaker 2: but of tennis to talk. But can we start with

1451
01:10:13,467 --> 01:10:17,427
Speaker 2: the cricket Adam Fifth Test Australia India at the SCG

1452
01:10:17,667 --> 01:10:20,667
Speaker 2: India all out one eighty five yesterday Australia battling a

1453
01:10:20,707 --> 01:10:23,667
Speaker 2: bit at sixty two for four, but incredible scenes at

1454
01:10:23,707 --> 01:10:27,347
Speaker 2: the end of day one last night, just brit Boomra

1455
01:10:27,867 --> 01:10:32,667
Speaker 2: dismissed usmand Kowaja and then turned to glare at nineteen

1456
01:10:32,787 --> 01:10:36,387
Speaker 2: year old opener Sam Constace, and then all the Indian

1457
01:10:36,427 --> 01:10:40,947
Speaker 2: players came running in and oh yahhooing and apparently in

1458
01:10:41,027 --> 01:10:43,707
Speaker 2: fact it looked as though Sam Constace had earlier been

1459
01:10:44,187 --> 01:10:46,147
Speaker 2: sort of mouthing off a little bit at Boomera and

1460
01:10:46,427 --> 01:10:49,467
Speaker 2: various other people. And I noticed that this has garnered

1461
01:10:49,507 --> 01:10:53,027
Speaker 2: a little bit of mixed reaction online. Just Sam Constance,

1462
01:10:53,107 --> 01:10:55,827
Speaker 2: this nineteen year old who's only really just arrived in

1463
01:10:55,907 --> 01:10:57,747
Speaker 2: test cricket, does he have to be a bit careful

1464
01:10:58,387 --> 01:11:00,427
Speaker 2: with the way that he conducts himself.

1465
01:11:01,587 --> 01:11:05,067
Speaker 12: Yeah, kid Pini, it was amazing day one at the

1466
01:11:05,187 --> 01:11:09,587
Speaker 12: SCG had at everything so at forty seven thousand people there,

1467
01:11:09,627 --> 01:11:13,707
Speaker 12: which some kind of record, I think. But yeah, I

1468
01:11:13,787 --> 01:11:17,187
Speaker 12: think now people are having pretty strident opinions on what

1469
01:11:17,267 --> 01:11:20,347
Speaker 12: they think of Sam Constous, both you and in India.

1470
01:11:20,507 --> 01:11:23,347
Speaker 12: For starters, I've got a fair idea what they reckon

1471
01:11:23,387 --> 01:11:28,507
Speaker 12: of him over in India. Yeah, look, it's just basically

1472
01:11:28,627 --> 01:11:31,547
Speaker 12: down to opinion. Isn't it your personal preference for me?

1473
01:11:32,187 --> 01:11:35,027
Speaker 12: I might be like you because I'm the middle age

1474
01:11:35,067 --> 01:11:37,587
Speaker 12: variety that you think, well, I mean, do you really

1475
01:11:37,667 --> 01:11:40,347
Speaker 12: need to get involved there? Is it really your argument

1476
01:11:40,427 --> 01:11:42,467
Speaker 12: to kind of chime in with or you just stay

1477
01:11:42,507 --> 01:11:43,827
Speaker 12: out of it and let us he deal with the

1478
01:11:43,907 --> 01:11:47,747
Speaker 12: last ball of the day, whereas younger generations are absolutely

1479
01:11:47,867 --> 01:11:50,267
Speaker 12: lap that up. So in a wider sense it's bad

1480
01:11:50,307 --> 01:11:53,787
Speaker 12: for cricket, maybe not. Is it bad for Sam Constae perhaps?

1481
01:11:54,187 --> 01:11:55,787
Speaker 12: Are you going to get in trouble? We'll wait and see.

1482
01:11:56,667 --> 01:11:56,867
Speaker 14: Yeah.

1483
01:11:56,907 --> 01:12:00,027
Speaker 12: It's one of those things that really there's no right

1484
01:12:00,107 --> 01:12:02,467
Speaker 12: or wrong hand for the match referee has with the day.

1485
01:12:03,107 --> 01:12:06,747
Speaker 2: Well, let's set up a very intriguing second day and tears.

1486
01:12:06,827 --> 01:12:09,067
Speaker 2: Can I just ask you about Scottie Boland. The pick

1487
01:12:09,107 --> 01:12:11,187
Speaker 2: of the ball is yesterday He took his fiftieth wicket

1488
01:12:11,467 --> 01:12:13,907
Speaker 2: in his thirteenth Test and an average of under twenty.

1489
01:12:14,467 --> 01:12:16,267
Speaker 2: This is some story, isn't it for a bloke who

1490
01:12:16,307 --> 01:12:18,427
Speaker 2: made us teat stay built what thirty two years old?

1491
01:12:19,427 --> 01:12:19,627
Speaker 19: Yeah?

1492
01:12:19,947 --> 01:12:23,147
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's incredible and the type of guy that like

1493
01:12:23,267 --> 01:12:25,267
Speaker 12: when he goes down. You saw him on day one.

1494
01:12:25,307 --> 01:12:26,987
Speaker 12: He goes down to find the leg after he's over

1495
01:12:27,027 --> 01:12:30,027
Speaker 12: where he's taken a couple of wickets or whatever. You

1496
01:12:30,067 --> 01:12:32,867
Speaker 12: can tell. It still doesn't comfortably with him, like everyone

1497
01:12:33,107 --> 01:12:34,827
Speaker 12: like yelling out of him and carrying on. He's just

1498
01:12:35,147 --> 01:12:37,627
Speaker 12: kind of a polite little way, certainly a bit different

1499
01:12:37,707 --> 01:12:40,587
Speaker 12: to Saan Constance who goes down to the downtary at

1500
01:12:40,587 --> 01:12:44,107
Speaker 12: the mcg and starts doing an aerobics class. So yeah,

1501
01:12:44,187 --> 01:12:48,707
Speaker 12: he's he's a pretty kind of inward guy, Scottie Boland.

1502
01:12:48,747 --> 01:12:50,947
Speaker 12: But when he's when he's he's taken. Yeah, after a

1503
01:12:50,987 --> 01:12:52,827
Speaker 12: lot of the other cricketers actually point out of here

1504
01:12:53,427 --> 01:12:55,947
Speaker 12: who faced him? Who face all these guys in the nets?

1505
01:12:56,067 --> 01:13:00,347
Speaker 12: The best placement we've got. They also say Scotty Bolin's

1506
01:13:00,387 --> 01:13:03,787
Speaker 12: an absolute nightmare because it's always just doing enough to

1507
01:13:03,947 --> 01:13:06,787
Speaker 12: trouble you and worry you around that mid drift. So

1508
01:13:07,227 --> 01:13:10,427
Speaker 12: if you know what I mean, Yeah, he's certainly a

1509
01:13:10,587 --> 01:13:13,867
Speaker 12: huge asset to Australian cricket. And look, he's probably already

1510
01:13:13,867 --> 01:13:16,267
Speaker 12: paid seventy tests if he's in another era.

1511
01:13:16,907 --> 01:13:20,587
Speaker 2: Is it just because he was behind Stark, Hazelwood and Cummings,

1512
01:13:20,667 --> 01:13:21,467
Speaker 2: Is that basically it?

1513
01:13:22,307 --> 01:13:25,227
Speaker 12: Yeah, And you can't argue with that, even I think

1514
01:13:25,267 --> 01:13:27,267
Speaker 12: the most prochial Victorian, I'll look at it and go

1515
01:13:27,547 --> 01:13:30,867
Speaker 12: almost probably fair enough these three who are all going

1516
01:13:30,947 --> 01:13:32,507
Speaker 12: to go down as all of famers as far as

1517
01:13:32,547 --> 01:13:35,907
Speaker 12: Australian cricketers concern. He's just come along at the exact

1518
01:13:35,907 --> 01:13:38,387
Speaker 12: same time as they have. So it's pretty unfortunately it's

1519
01:13:38,427 --> 01:13:40,267
Speaker 12: gotta bolin, but still a huge asset. It's going to

1520
01:13:40,307 --> 01:13:42,907
Speaker 12: have a huge part to plan next summer's ashes as well.

1521
01:13:43,107 --> 01:13:45,187
Speaker 2: Absolutely, all right, let's move to tennis. You've been covering

1522
01:13:45,227 --> 01:13:49,147
Speaker 2: the Brisbane International Tennis tournament defeat for Novak Djokovic at

1523
01:13:49,187 --> 01:13:53,707
Speaker 2: the hands of American prodigy Riley Opelk. How big a

1524
01:13:53,747 --> 01:13:54,387
Speaker 2: surprise was this?

1525
01:13:55,187 --> 01:13:56,187
Speaker 3: No, it was massive.

1526
01:13:56,227 --> 01:13:59,027
Speaker 12: I mean you look at Riley's rankings too, just inside

1527
01:13:59,027 --> 01:14:00,947
Speaker 12: the top three hundred. But that's a good of a

1528
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:04,587
Speaker 12: misnowner because he spent basically two and a half years

1529
01:14:04,587 --> 01:14:06,907
Speaker 12: off off the circuit. He only came back halfway through

1530
01:14:06,987 --> 01:14:09,707
Speaker 12: last year after having a hip surgery and then two

1531
01:14:09,787 --> 01:14:12,667
Speaker 12: wrist surgeries. So he has been top twenty in the world.

1532
01:14:12,707 --> 01:14:15,707
Speaker 12: So it's not a complete shock that this guy has

1533
01:14:15,747 --> 01:14:18,267
Speaker 12: been able to do something like this. What was the

1534
01:14:18,307 --> 01:14:20,547
Speaker 12: shock is that he hasn't done anything like this for

1535
01:14:20,667 --> 01:14:24,507
Speaker 12: a very long time. And Djokovic is Novak Chokovic on

1536
01:14:24,507 --> 01:14:27,667
Speaker 12: Australian courts, so yeah, a bit of a worry for Novak.

1537
01:14:27,867 --> 01:14:30,827
Speaker 12: He couldn't find a way against the guy that traditionally

1538
01:14:30,987 --> 01:14:32,987
Speaker 12: he has. He's had a couple of losses to Hue.

1539
01:14:33,027 --> 01:14:34,947
Speaker 12: So this riley of purple by the ways, Nindick seven

1540
01:14:34,987 --> 01:14:37,787
Speaker 12: foot tall and as you can imagine, her service bombs.

1541
01:14:37,827 --> 01:14:42,147
Speaker 12: So Novak historically has been able to find a way

1542
01:14:42,267 --> 01:14:46,067
Speaker 12: against the big, big service on tour, but last night

1543
01:14:46,107 --> 01:14:48,467
Speaker 12: he couldn't. And yeah, it was too good the American

1544
01:14:48,507 --> 01:14:50,467
Speaker 12: once the ball got on the ground and there were abolis,

1545
01:14:50,467 --> 01:14:52,587
Speaker 12: he was hitting winners as well, so yeah, it was

1546
01:14:52,627 --> 01:14:53,787
Speaker 12: an epic.

1547
01:14:53,547 --> 01:14:55,787
Speaker 2: Win for him and Jokovic of course was in doubles

1548
01:14:55,827 --> 01:14:58,547
Speaker 2: action two with Nick Kirios going down to a man

1549
01:14:58,587 --> 01:15:02,947
Speaker 2: extually Michael Venus and Nicola Michticch was it box office?

1550
01:15:03,227 --> 01:15:08,267
Speaker 20: Kurios out there tried to be he wasn't quite in

1551
01:15:08,387 --> 01:15:12,147
Speaker 20: the full entertainment mode and he was, Yeah, he was

1552
01:15:12,187 --> 01:15:14,307
Speaker 20: trying to get the crowd going and him and Novak.

1553
01:15:14,027 --> 01:15:17,107
Speaker 12: It was just a weird pairing to still saying, but

1554
01:15:17,187 --> 01:15:21,347
Speaker 12: they're like your guy and the Croatian. They're just a

1555
01:15:21,387 --> 01:15:25,027
Speaker 12: better combo, better doubles players, so they knew their angles

1556
01:15:25,067 --> 01:15:27,867
Speaker 12: and everything. But it was entertaining for a couple of matches.

1557
01:15:27,907 --> 01:15:29,707
Speaker 12: And I think Curios is maybe going to play with

1558
01:15:29,747 --> 01:15:31,547
Speaker 12: Clock and Archers down to the Australian Open, which all

1559
01:15:31,587 --> 01:15:33,187
Speaker 12: light up the second week, perhaps if they get on

1560
01:15:33,267 --> 01:15:36,787
Speaker 12: a run again. So yeah, Curious has got his own

1561
01:15:36,787 --> 01:15:39,987
Speaker 12: worries though he wasn't quite sure about his physical capabilities

1562
01:15:40,027 --> 01:15:43,467
Speaker 12: coming out of this tournament. His wrist and a few

1563
01:15:43,507 --> 01:15:46,307
Speaker 12: other things that could go wrong might go wrong down

1564
01:15:46,587 --> 01:15:48,467
Speaker 12: at the Australian Open. So it's a big wait and

1565
01:15:48,507 --> 01:15:50,267
Speaker 12: see to see how he gets through that first week.

1566
01:15:50,387 --> 01:15:52,667
Speaker 2: Indeed, yeah, we'll look forward to seeing how that goes.

1567
01:15:52,707 --> 01:15:55,107
Speaker 2: And so is what semi finals for both men and

1568
01:15:55,147 --> 01:15:56,067
Speaker 2: women today in Brisbane?

1569
01:15:56,787 --> 01:15:59,507
Speaker 12: Yeah, there's semi finals at Pelco who we mentioned he's

1570
01:15:59,547 --> 01:16:02,627
Speaker 12: playing against pericarda Frenchman who's sixth eight and so is

1571
01:16:03,027 --> 01:16:05,347
Speaker 12: So I've got the theory that maybe they should just

1572
01:16:05,347 --> 01:16:11,187
Speaker 12: play nine points starting with no service, and whoever wins

1573
01:16:11,467 --> 01:16:13,667
Speaker 12: the best of those nine points wins the match. Because

1574
01:16:13,787 --> 01:16:16,707
Speaker 12: other than the outside of that, it's going to be served.

1575
01:16:16,787 --> 01:16:20,227
Speaker 12: I think perakots six aces against the curios the holiday,

1576
01:16:20,267 --> 01:16:22,747
Speaker 12: so yeah, it's the land of the Giant at the moment.

1577
01:16:22,787 --> 01:16:26,227
Speaker 12: But the women's event satell anca players on Dreva to

1578
01:16:26,387 --> 01:16:29,587
Speaker 12: really top players, so yeah, good of Nybrision, excellent stuff.

1579
01:16:29,947 --> 01:16:32,227
Speaker 2: Hey, and I'm always good to catch up the Aussie Open.

1580
01:16:32,307 --> 01:16:34,787
Speaker 2: We'll meet with us before we know it, so we'll

1581
01:16:34,787 --> 01:16:36,467
Speaker 2: look forward to us staying in touch with you on that.

1582
01:16:36,627 --> 01:16:37,427
Speaker 2: Enjoy the rest of your.

1583
01:16:37,347 --> 01:16:38,547
Speaker 3: Day, too easy.

1584
01:16:38,587 --> 01:16:40,107
Speaker 12: I'll be in Melbourne next week, so look forward to it.

1585
01:16:40,587 --> 01:16:42,067
Speaker 2: No good on you, Adam will look forward Chetney to

1586
01:16:42,107 --> 01:16:45,667
Speaker 2: you then, Adam Peacock, our regular Australian correspondent. The Australian

1587

Speaker 2: Open starts on Monday, January thirteenth. It's what's that Monday week.

01:16:50,347 --> 01:16:54,667
Speaker 2: The men's ASP class of course, this qualifying on at

01:17:03,147 --> 01:17:07,147
Speaker 2: will head to Melbourne for the Australian Open. Speaking of

1593
01:17:07,227 --> 01:17:11,147
Speaker 2: the ASB Women's Classic, we have our semi final lineup confirmed.

1594
01:17:11,707 --> 01:17:16,347
Speaker 2: The fourth quarterfinal is complete and Alicia Parks has been

1595
01:17:16,387 --> 01:17:19,547
Speaker 2: in country woman Katie Volinets in the what a Great

Speaker 2: Name for Tennis play Volinets in an all American quarter finals.

1597
01:17:23,387 --> 01:17:26,907
Speaker 2: So Alicia Parks sixty one sixty four straight sets winner.

1598
01:17:27,187 --> 01:17:30,467
Speaker 2: She will now face Naomi Osaka in the second of

1599
01:17:30,507 --> 01:17:34,547
Speaker 2: the semifinals. The first of the semis will be between

1600
01:17:34,707 --> 01:17:39,067

Speaker 2: fifth seed Clara Talson, who completed a straight sets win

1602
01:17:43,187 --> 01:17:46,907
Speaker 2: over Madison Keys in the rain interrupted quarterfinal which was

1603
01:17:46,987 --> 01:17:49,987
Speaker 2: completed just a couple of hours ago. So Robin Montgomery

1604
01:17:50,147 --> 01:17:56,187
Speaker 2: against Clara Talson and Naomi Osaka against Alicia Parks. Those

1605
01:17:56,227 --> 01:17:59,347
Speaker 2: are the semi finals which will happen from three o'clock

1606
01:17:59,387 --> 01:18:01,907
Speaker 2: this afternoon, nine away from two, News Talk SEB.

1607
01:18:02,787 --> 01:18:05,067
Speaker 1: When it's down to the line, you made a call

1608
01:18:05,227 --> 01:18:10,227
Speaker 1: on Weekend Sports with Jason Hine News Talk.

1609
01:18:10,107 --> 01:18:12,947
Speaker 2: Zemb sixth away from two, Let's update you on some

1610
01:18:13,107 --> 01:18:17,067
Speaker 2: cricket SCG Australia sixty six for four in reply to

1611
01:18:17,107 --> 01:18:19,467
Speaker 2: India's one to eighty five all out, bo Webs has

1612
01:18:19,507 --> 01:18:21,387
Speaker 2: come out and making a fairly decent fist of his

1613
01:18:21,507 --> 01:18:24,907
Speaker 2: test debut unbeaten on thirteen. Steve Smith is there on

1614
01:18:25,107 --> 01:18:28,987
Speaker 2: eighteen not out Australia sixty six for four in their

1615
01:18:29,067 --> 01:18:32,147
Speaker 2: first innings on the second morning at the SCG and

1616
01:18:32,427 --> 01:18:35,587
Speaker 2: in Sonny Nelson and it is Sonny Nelson the blaze

1617
01:18:35,627 --> 01:18:39,267
Speaker 2: against the Hinds in Super Smash action. This is the

1618
01:18:39,467 --> 01:18:42,747
Speaker 2: women's Super Smash to start the Wellington Blaze in the

1619
01:18:42,907 --> 01:18:46,147
Speaker 2: eighteenth over ninety seven for four. So it's been pretty

1620
01:18:47,027 --> 01:18:51,107
Speaker 2: pretty tough going for the Wellington Blaze, although Jess Kerr

1621
01:18:51,747 --> 01:18:55,987
Speaker 2: has brought up a second consecutive Super Smash fifty. She

1622
01:18:56,187 --> 01:18:59,227
Speaker 2: is fifty three now not out of forty balls that

1623
01:18:59,387 --> 01:19:01,787
Speaker 2: off the back of an unbeaten fifty the other day

1624
01:19:01,907 --> 01:19:04,907
Speaker 2: against Northern District. So Jess Kurk has clearly been working

1625
01:19:04,987 --> 01:19:07,627
Speaker 2: on her batting over the winter, back to back fifties

1626
01:19:07,747 --> 01:19:10,347
Speaker 2: in the Super Smash. Kate Chandler is there with her

1627
01:19:10,347 --> 01:19:13,107
Speaker 2: as well, other Blaze up now to ninety eight for four,

1628
01:19:13,267 --> 01:19:16,027
Speaker 2: selling to set some sort of competitive total for the

1629
01:19:16,107 --> 01:19:18,627
Speaker 2: Hines to chase. The men's game of course to follow

1630
01:19:18,787 --> 01:19:21,587
Speaker 2: with the Wellington Firebirds up against the Central Stags. That

1631
01:19:21,747 --> 01:19:26,507
Speaker 2: came from around fourish this afternoon after two o'clock is

1632
01:19:26,507 --> 01:19:29,987
Speaker 2: the final hour of weekend sport. Kixon want to talk

1633
01:19:30,067 --> 01:19:34,307
Speaker 2: to Bevan Jacobs. This is a really interesting story Bevan

1634
01:19:34,387 --> 01:19:39,267
Speaker 2: Jacobs for a number of reasons. He yesterday scored a

1635
01:19:39,507 --> 01:19:43,267
Speaker 2: very quick fire fifty runs off fifty three or thirty

1636
01:19:43,307 --> 01:19:46,187
Speaker 2: three balls and then took a superb boundary catch to

1637
01:19:46,267 --> 01:19:48,667
Speaker 2: help Auckland beat Canterbury in a remarkable game of T

1638
01:19:48,827 --> 01:19:52,147
Speaker 2: twenty cricket at Eton Parks Outer Oval. Canterbury were cruising,

1639
01:19:52,307 --> 01:19:55,347
Speaker 2: absolutely cruising, but lost their last six wickets for nine

1640
01:19:55,427 --> 01:19:59,027
Speaker 2: runs in just over two overs. It was a collapse

1641
01:19:59,067 --> 01:20:02,907
Speaker 2: of epic proportions. So Bevan Jacobs was heavily involved there.

1642
01:20:03,187 --> 01:20:05,387
Speaker 2: He's been with the black Caps this past week as

1643
01:20:05,427 --> 01:20:08,187
Speaker 2: part of the T twenty SI squad. He unfortunately for him,

1644
01:20:08,227 --> 01:20:10,027
Speaker 2: didn't get on the field. He didn't get a game

1645
01:20:10,067 --> 01:20:12,107
Speaker 2: in those three matches, so back to Auckland he went.

1646
01:20:12,187 --> 01:20:15,227
Speaker 2: But he's also off to the IPL. At the very

1647
01:20:15,347 --> 01:20:17,387
Speaker 2: last moment, as I understand, he threw his hat in

1648
01:20:17,427 --> 01:20:19,547
Speaker 2: the ring for the auction and got picked up by

1649
01:20:19,547 --> 01:20:24,347
Speaker 2: the Mumbai Indians. So what a roller coaster recently for

1650
01:20:25,147 --> 01:20:28,187
Speaker 2: Bevan Jacobs. He'll have a chat to us after two

1651
01:20:28,467 --> 01:20:30,307
Speaker 2: in case you missed it. Of course, it's our regular

1652
01:20:30,387 --> 01:20:32,787
Speaker 2: feature catching you up on all the things that you

1653
01:20:32,907 --> 01:20:35,547
Speaker 2: might have missed. The National Balls Champs are on the

1654
01:20:36,107 --> 01:20:39,627
Speaker 2: National Balls Champs in Auckland. We're into post section play

1655
01:20:39,747 --> 01:20:42,947
Speaker 2: in the men's pairs and the women's singles. Kevin Hickland

1656
01:20:43,347 --> 01:20:45,227
Speaker 2: is going to update us on that, and the Wellington

1657
01:20:45,267 --> 01:20:48,307
Speaker 2: Phoenix women are in action this afternoon in a steadily

1658
01:20:48,427 --> 01:20:53,307
Speaker 2: improving Wellington, Shall I say a steadily improving Wellington. Olivia

1659
01:20:53,387 --> 01:20:55,987
Speaker 2: ferguson their English striker with us after two.

1660
01:20:57,547 --> 01:21:00,387
Speaker 1: The only place to discuss the biggest scores issues on

1661
01:21:00,867 --> 01:21:04,747
Speaker 1: and after fields, it's all on weegen Ford with Jason

1662
01:21:04,867 --> 01:21:08,867
Speaker 1: Pade of Sport, New York.

1663
01:21:10,947 --> 01:21:13,907
Speaker 2: Two seven. Hello there, welcome in. This is weekend sport

1664
01:21:13,947 --> 01:21:15,987
Speaker 2: for another hour or so. Then Jess Davidson takes over

1665
01:21:16,107 --> 01:21:19,867
Speaker 2: with Summer Afternoons from three. But a sport to get

1666
01:21:19,947 --> 01:21:23,947
Speaker 2: through between now and then. Will keep eyes on cricket

1667
01:21:24,067 --> 01:21:26,387
Speaker 2: on both sides of the Tasman. Australia seventy eight for

1668
01:21:26,507 --> 01:21:29,987
Speaker 2: four in their first innings, with Bo Webster and Steve

1669
01:21:30,067 --> 01:21:35,227
Speaker 2: Smith together as they chip away at the Indian first

1670
01:21:35,267 --> 01:21:38,907
Speaker 2: innings of one hundred and eighty five. Meantime, in Nelson,

1671
01:21:39,467 --> 01:21:42,907
Speaker 2: the Blaze have been restricted to one hundred and fourteen

1672
01:21:43,427 --> 01:21:46,347
Speaker 2: for eight in their twenty overs by the Central Hins,

1673
01:21:46,587 --> 01:21:49,587
Speaker 2: so Central will come out shortly in their chase for

1674
01:21:49,667 --> 01:21:52,947
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifteen. Jess Kerb the leading light for

1675
01:21:53,147 --> 01:21:56,427
Speaker 2: the Blaze fifty nine in terms of the bowlers for

1676
01:21:56,587 --> 01:22:00,627
Speaker 2: the Hines, Rosemary Mayor two for twenty two the best

1677
01:22:00,787 --> 01:22:03,707
Speaker 2: of them, so one hundred and fifteen is the target

1678
01:22:03,827 --> 01:22:06,467

1720
01:24:12,307 --> 01:24:15,667
Speaker 2: The Wellington Phoenix were in Melbourne to take on Melbourne

1721
01:24:15,787 --> 01:24:19,787
Speaker 2: City at Amy Park. Now Gkovich with Ramani Oh, it's

Speaker 2: Nathaniel Atkinson with a classy finish.

1726
01:24:32,827 --> 01:24:34,667
Speaker 16: Driving the ball into the roof of the net.

01:24:35,187 --> 01:24:38,587
Speaker 3: It's his first goal since returning to the A League.

1728
01:24:38,507 --> 01:24:42,707
Speaker 6: And it looks as though Wellington's Amy Park hudo is

Speaker 16: One more game.

1731
01:24:44,547 --> 01:24:47,387
Speaker 2: It certainly did a two zero loss for Wellington last night.

1732
01:24:48,827 --> 01:24:51,147
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you watched this game. If you've

1733
01:24:51,147 --> 01:24:54,867
Speaker 2: got it recorded and haven't yet watched it. I would

1734
01:24:54,907 --> 01:24:58,627
Speaker 2: save yourself. The ninety minutes probably one of the more

1735
01:24:58,747 --> 01:25:04,507
Speaker 2: disappointing Wellington Phoenix performances in recent memory. Actually a shame,

1736
01:25:04,947 --> 01:25:08,227
Speaker 2: a great shame the way they play. But they'll dust

1737
01:25:08,267 --> 01:25:11,347

01:26:17,627 --> 01:26:21,107
Speaker 2: van Goerwin in the final this morning at London's Alexandra Palace.

1753
01:26:21,507 --> 01:26:23,827
Speaker 2: Littler was runner up last year, but stepped up a

1754
01:26:23,867 --> 01:26:26,707
Speaker 2: level this time, racing to a four zeerl lead in

1755
01:26:26,747 --> 01:26:29,427
Speaker 2: the final. He never let Van Gerwin get closer than

1756

1770
01:27:22,747 --> 01:27:25,467
Speaker 2: truly passed. He doesn't turn eighteen for a couple of weeks.

1771
01:27:25,707 --> 01:27:30,747
Speaker 2: Lut Littler absolutely astonishing stuff. Two thirteen. It is speaking

1772
01:27:30,747 --> 01:27:33,827
Speaker 2: of astonishing staff. Remarkable game of tea twenty cricket yesterday

1773
01:27:34,187 --> 01:27:38,067
Speaker 2: between Auckland and Canterbury at Eden Park's Outer Oval. Auckland

1774
01:27:38,107 --> 01:27:40,787
Speaker 2: batted first and made one hundred and eighty five for

1775
01:27:40,947 --> 01:27:44,387
Speaker 2: eight from their twenty overs, Martin guptel sixty of thirty

1776
01:27:44,467 --> 01:27:48,267
Speaker 2: five balls and Bevin Jacob's fifty three off thirty three.

1777
01:27:48,387 --> 01:27:52,307
Speaker 2: Now Canterbury in reply, cruising one hundred and sixty three

1778
01:27:52,427 --> 01:27:56,387
Speaker 2: for four after seventeen overs, but then lost their last

1779
01:27:56,627 --> 01:28:00,987
Speaker 2: six wickets for nine runs in the space of fourteen deliveries,

1780
01:28:01,547 --> 01:28:04,787
Speaker 2: Auckland running out winners by thirteen runs. And amongst the

1781
01:28:04,867 --> 01:28:10,547
Speaker 2: collapse was an absolutely superb boundary catch from Bevan Jacobs

1782
01:28:10,907 --> 01:28:15,547
Speaker 2: to get rid of Henry Shipley. What has he got

1783
01:28:15,667 --> 01:28:16,187
Speaker 2: enough for.

1784
01:28:17,867 --> 01:28:18,227
Speaker 19: Catch?

1785
01:28:19,507 --> 01:28:21,627
Speaker 16: Jacobs takes us, screamer.

1786
01:28:23,667 --> 01:28:27,827
Speaker 5: That is so good, absolute screamer, running round to us right,

1787
01:28:28,827 --> 01:28:30,947
Speaker 5: a lot of work to do and he just throws

1788
01:28:31,027 --> 01:28:35,107
Speaker 5: out in the right hand and it sticks inches, separating

1789
01:28:35,227 --> 01:28:36,467
Speaker 5: him in the boundary rope.

1790
01:28:37,307 --> 01:28:38,507
Speaker 2: You will not see.

1791
01:28:38,507 --> 01:28:41,747
Speaker 5: Many better boundary catches than that. And he is pumped

1792
01:28:41,827 --> 01:28:42,547
Speaker 5: up about it too.

1793
01:28:42,747 --> 01:28:44,827
Speaker 2: He would be, wouldn't you Bevan Jacobs is with us

1794
01:28:44,867 --> 01:28:47,267
Speaker 2: some congrats on the win yesterday made and that catch

1795
01:28:47,347 --> 01:28:49,747
Speaker 2: and the part that you played with the bat as well. Actually,

1796
01:28:49,787 --> 01:28:52,147
Speaker 2: can we start with can we start with that catch?

1797
01:28:52,187 --> 01:28:53,067
Speaker 2: Can you talk us through it?

1798
01:28:54,427 --> 01:28:57,187
Speaker 3: Thanks? Jason? Yeah, I mean that catch was you know

1799
01:28:57,227 --> 01:28:59,307
Speaker 3: it's aten to be able to take that to the ball.

1800
01:28:59,347 --> 01:29:02,507
Speaker 3: It's just under the situation that we're in. But you know,

1801
01:29:02,707 --> 01:29:04,587
Speaker 3: I guess that's that's what I'm trained for, and you

1802
01:29:04,627 --> 01:29:06,307
Speaker 3: know I was happy that I could pull it off.

1803
01:29:07,067 --> 01:29:10,707
Speaker 2: As you were sprinting around the boundary. What is going

1804
01:29:10,747 --> 01:29:12,827
Speaker 2: through you mind? Are you just thinking, actually I need

1805
01:29:12,867 --> 01:29:15,267
Speaker 2: to stop this going for four? Or was the catch

1806
01:29:15,387 --> 01:29:15,987
Speaker 2: always on?

1807
01:29:16,867 --> 01:29:19,147
Speaker 3: I think I think in that situation when you know

1808
01:29:19,267 --> 01:29:21,787
Speaker 3: the team needs the wickets, because as you said Canterbury,

1809
01:29:21,827 --> 01:29:24,027
Speaker 3: the runmate wasn't the issue for them there, so team

1810
01:29:24,107 --> 01:29:25,547
Speaker 3: needed the wickets, I think you always got to go

1811
01:29:25,587 --> 01:29:27,907
Speaker 3: for the catch and then you can you know, you

1812
01:29:27,947 --> 01:29:30,547
Speaker 3: can look this out if you if you don't go,

1813
01:29:30,747 --> 01:29:32,627
Speaker 3: if you don't take it, you know, as long as

1814
01:29:32,667 --> 01:29:34,627
Speaker 3: you try to go for it when the team needs it.

1815
01:29:35,307 --> 01:29:36,827
Speaker 2: Have you if you caught that with one hand, has

1816
01:29:36,867 --> 01:29:38,307
Speaker 2: that gone into your right hand only.

1817
01:29:39,187 --> 01:29:41,267
Speaker 3: A bit of both? I think? I think you know,

1818
01:29:41,907 --> 01:29:43,667
Speaker 3: I can't lie. I didn't think it was quite you know,

1819
01:29:43,747 --> 01:29:46,987
Speaker 3: the full one hand, but that left hand definitely did

1820
01:29:47,347 --> 01:29:49,867
Speaker 3: that help me keep it in my hands, that's for sure.

1821
01:29:50,067 --> 01:29:50,387
Speaker 15: Brilliant.

1822
01:29:50,427 --> 01:29:52,187
Speaker 2: Well, they need what what they need? They needed twenty

1823
01:29:52,227 --> 01:29:55,027
Speaker 2: three or three overs, six wickets in hand. They're kind

1824
01:29:55,067 --> 01:29:57,067
Speaker 2: of cruising that there it's in hand for them, right,

1825
01:29:57,147 --> 01:29:58,587
Speaker 2: did you think it might not be your day or

1826
01:29:58,627 --> 01:30:00,867
Speaker 2: did you always think there was you know, another chapter

1827
01:30:00,947 --> 01:30:01,467
Speaker 2: to be written?

1828
01:30:02,387 --> 01:30:05,107
Speaker 3: Yeah? Look, I mean in that situation, Canterbury obviously has

1829
01:30:05,107 --> 01:30:07,387
Speaker 3: the upper hand. But you know, cricket the funny game,

1830
01:30:07,467 --> 01:30:11,027
Speaker 3: and every time you're chasing, no matter how easy it seems,

1831
01:30:11,067 --> 01:30:13,147
Speaker 3: you know it can definitely turn any quickly. And I

1832
01:30:13,227 --> 01:30:15,707
Speaker 3: think the boys just put on an excellent buying performance,

1833
01:30:15,747 --> 01:30:18,387
Speaker 3: you know, jocket done at the end taking three apiece

1834
01:30:18,467 --> 01:30:20,467
Speaker 3: and especially done to three and one over, you know,

1835
01:30:20,627 --> 01:30:23,227
Speaker 3: so bet pops to them for you know, staying the course.

1836
01:30:23,307 --> 01:30:25,347
Speaker 3: And I guess it was just a big thing for

1837
01:30:25,467 --> 01:30:27,067
Speaker 3: us in the aces. It was just you know, not

1838
01:30:27,227 --> 01:30:29,587
Speaker 3: to think the game's over till it's over. So, you know,

1839
01:30:29,667 --> 01:30:31,827
Speaker 3: big pops to them for getting that done.

1840
01:30:31,987 --> 01:30:33,867
Speaker 2: And do you get confidence in the game of T

1841
01:30:34,027 --> 01:30:36,507
Speaker 2: twenty cricket when I hear this so often? You know,

1842
01:30:36,667 --> 01:30:39,067
Speaker 2: the game can change in the space of just a

1843
01:30:39,107 --> 01:30:41,907
Speaker 2: few deliveries with bat or ball. So do you actually

1844
01:30:41,907 --> 01:30:44,267
Speaker 2: always feel as though are games live right until the end?

1845
01:30:45,027 --> 01:30:45,187
Speaker 14: Yeah?

1846
01:30:45,227 --> 01:30:48,587
Speaker 3: One hundred percent. You know, it only takes one over

1847
01:30:49,067 --> 01:30:51,867
Speaker 3: or one a piece of fielding or bullying or whatever

1848
01:30:51,947 --> 01:30:54,667
Speaker 3: it is, you know, to then put them amentum back

1849
01:30:54,747 --> 01:30:56,347
Speaker 3: in your side. And I think that's you know, that's

1850
01:30:56,387 --> 01:30:58,427
Speaker 3: what happened. And the boards were really good at just

1851
01:30:58,587 --> 01:31:00,987
Speaker 3: compiling it and you know, going from one into the next,

1852
01:31:01,067 --> 01:31:04,867
Speaker 3: and you know, it led us to a pretty special win.

1853
01:31:05,227 --> 01:31:07,947
Speaker 2: So let's go back to your bat. You guys with

1854
01:31:08,067 --> 01:31:09,827
Speaker 2: fifty three without loss, and then all of a sudden

1855
01:31:09,827 --> 01:31:11,507
Speaker 2: you're fifty six for three. When you come out to

1856
01:31:11,627 --> 01:31:15,387
Speaker 2: join Martin Guptel, you put together fifty nine and less

1857
01:31:15,427 --> 01:31:17,707
Speaker 2: than six overs. He's been around for a while, hasn't he,

1858
01:31:17,747 --> 01:31:19,547
Speaker 2: Martin Guptor How much do you enjoy betting with him?

1859
01:31:20,387 --> 01:31:22,147
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty special, you know, to be able to

1860
01:31:22,227 --> 01:31:24,427
Speaker 3: share the crease with the legend of a game like that.

1861
01:31:24,587 --> 01:31:25,987
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of wisdom that you can

1862
01:31:26,827 --> 01:31:28,947
Speaker 3: you can share, you can share with you when you're

1863
01:31:28,947 --> 01:31:30,787
Speaker 3: out in the middle and just having those conversations with

1864
01:31:30,867 --> 01:31:33,507
Speaker 3: the figuring out a plan, you know, having a small

1865
01:31:33,547 --> 01:31:36,107
Speaker 3: little accumulation phase and then and then really trying to

1866
01:31:36,147 --> 01:31:37,827
Speaker 3: put the foot down and the pressure act on Canbury.

1867
01:31:37,907 --> 01:31:39,787
Speaker 3: So it's really nice to have him in the group

1868
01:31:39,867 --> 01:31:42,507
Speaker 3: and have that experienced kind of guide you in those

1869
01:31:42,547 --> 01:31:44,707
Speaker 3: precious situations and.

1870
01:31:44,787 --> 01:31:47,547
Speaker 2: Your numbers, as I say, fifty three off, thirty three,

1871
01:31:48,147 --> 01:31:51,587
Speaker 2: one four and five sixers, but all around the place,

1872
01:31:51,907 --> 01:31:54,747
Speaker 2: long on with wicket, long off, overcover. How much do

1873
01:31:54,827 --> 01:31:56,867
Speaker 2: you work on being able to play three hundred and

1874
01:31:56,907 --> 01:31:58,667
Speaker 2: sixty degrees in T twenty cricket?

1875
01:31:59,347 --> 01:32:02,867
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's it's it's obviously important to be

1876
01:32:02,947 --> 01:32:04,507
Speaker 3: able to hit more than one area at the ground,

1877
01:32:04,507 --> 01:32:06,587
Speaker 3: But I think when you break it down to put

1878
01:32:06,587 --> 01:32:08,467
Speaker 3: it real simply, it's just about making sure you've got

1879
01:32:08,467 --> 01:32:10,587
Speaker 3: a clear plane and then just just reacting to the

1880
01:32:10,667 --> 01:32:13,227
Speaker 3: ball that's coming down and you know, backing that your

1881
01:32:13,227 --> 01:32:16,427
Speaker 3: skills are going to get you to the right place.

1882
01:32:16,507 --> 01:32:20,667
Speaker 3: You know, Like I wouldn't necessarily say it's about training

1883
01:32:20,787 --> 01:32:23,707
Speaker 3: three sixty all the time. It's just more about you know,

1884
01:32:24,187 --> 01:32:27,227
Speaker 3: working hard, practicing your skill and you know, letting your

1885
01:32:27,227 --> 01:32:28,267
Speaker 3: stuff react in the moment.

1886
01:32:28,627 --> 01:32:31,787
Speaker 2: How much how much of what you do is premeditated.

1887
01:32:32,947 --> 01:32:36,587
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's it's more game scenario and field set. Obviously

1888
01:32:37,347 --> 01:32:40,987
Speaker 3: with five out, you know there's not too many gaps

1889
01:32:41,347 --> 01:32:44,027
Speaker 3: all the time for towards the boundary. But I guess

1890
01:32:44,067 --> 01:32:46,267
Speaker 3: that's what that reaction piece comes in. And you could

1891
01:32:46,307 --> 01:32:49,307
Speaker 3: obviously target a certain zone based on how someone's bowling

1892
01:32:49,427 --> 01:32:51,547
Speaker 3: if if you feel like it's a good match up.

1893
01:32:51,587 --> 01:32:53,867
Speaker 3: But then again, I think it comes back down to

1894
01:32:54,027 --> 01:32:56,027
Speaker 3: reaction and then if you're going to take it on,

1895
01:32:56,187 --> 01:32:57,547
Speaker 3: you know that you're going to take it on with

1896
01:32:57,587 --> 01:32:59,307
Speaker 3: one hundred percent and hopefully it clears the right.

1897
01:32:59,587 --> 01:33:01,747
Speaker 2: And now what about Eddie A Schultz reverse ramp for

1898
01:33:01,827 --> 01:33:04,267
Speaker 2: six at the end? Has he been retelling that story?

1899
01:33:05,187 --> 01:33:06,787
Speaker 3: I bet he will be, so having talk to him

1900
01:33:06,827 --> 01:33:09,747
Speaker 3: much about he's a talented he's a talented player, and

1901
01:33:10,147 --> 01:33:12,387
Speaker 3: he's been working hard on those on those shots. So

1902
01:33:12,467 --> 01:33:14,187
Speaker 3: it was good to see him bring it out in

1903
01:33:14,267 --> 01:33:14,547
Speaker 3: the game.

1904
01:33:15,107 --> 01:33:18,987
Speaker 2: And while you were fielding a nasty collision at one point,

1905
01:33:19,467 --> 01:33:23,307
Speaker 2: Ben Lister and Swadesh Dixon were involved, Are they okay?

1906
01:33:23,507 --> 01:33:25,587
Speaker 2: Relatively okay? To your knowledge?

1907
01:33:26,627 --> 01:33:29,107
Speaker 3: Yeah, relatively okay. I don't think I haven't had any

1908
01:33:29,187 --> 01:33:32,347
Speaker 3: confirmed clear comms on what the situation as I noticed

1909
01:33:32,587 --> 01:33:37,067
Speaker 3: went of X ray and sided list. I think hopefully

1910
01:33:37,147 --> 01:33:40,827
Speaker 3: not out for too long, maybe maybe a couple of

1911
01:33:40,867 --> 01:33:44,067
Speaker 3: weeks worst case scenario, but I don't have any any

1912
01:33:44,147 --> 01:33:46,867
Speaker 3: hard confirmation on that, so yeah.

1913
01:33:46,707 --> 01:33:49,187
Speaker 2: We'll keep that fingers cross Yeah, we'll keep our fingers

1914
01:33:49,227 --> 01:33:51,667
Speaker 2: crossed and hope for the best as far as you're concerned.

1915
01:33:51,867 --> 01:33:54,947
Speaker 2: You came through the Auckland pathway system down to Canterbury,

1916
01:33:54,947 --> 01:33:57,307
Speaker 2: of course, where you played last season. What was behind

1917
01:33:57,427 --> 01:33:58,747
Speaker 2: the return to Walkland the summer.

1918
01:34:00,587 --> 01:34:02,227
Speaker 3: There are a lot of factors, but at the end

1919
01:34:02,227 --> 01:34:05,067
Speaker 3: of the day of a cricket decision, you know, I

1920
01:34:05,187 --> 01:34:08,787
Speaker 3: just felt that, you know, Canbery obviously when they had

1921
01:34:08,787 --> 01:34:11,467
Speaker 3: their black Caps back quite a strong side, might have

1922
01:34:11,547 --> 01:34:13,987
Speaker 3: been tough for me to play as much cricket as

1923
01:34:14,027 --> 01:34:16,267
Speaker 3: I potentially could in Auckland, and it was that was

1924
01:34:16,467 --> 01:34:19,667
Speaker 3: mainly the driving factor. And obviously it's good to be

1925
01:34:20,027 --> 01:34:21,987
Speaker 3: to be back home the family and stuff as a

1926
01:34:22,027 --> 01:34:23,667
Speaker 3: bonus as well. And I grew up playing with a

1927
01:34:23,707 --> 01:34:25,547
Speaker 3: lot of the boys in Auckland, so the transition was

1928
01:34:26,067 --> 01:34:27,387
Speaker 3: was a smooth one. But at the end of the day,

1929
01:34:27,427 --> 01:34:29,467
Speaker 3: it was more just just a cricketing decision.

1930
01:34:29,747 --> 01:34:31,987
Speaker 2: And did they help yesterday knowing a few of the

1931
01:34:32,027 --> 01:34:34,307
Speaker 2: guys who were bowling at you from having been alongside

1932
01:34:34,347 --> 01:34:35,147
Speaker 2: them last summer.

1933
01:34:35,867 --> 01:34:37,947
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess, you know, But it goes both ways.

1934
01:34:38,227 --> 01:34:40,307
Speaker 3: I know them, but they know me too, but it's

1935
01:34:40,307 --> 01:34:43,387
Speaker 3: always a good contest against them out there. And yeah,

1936
01:34:43,387 --> 01:34:45,067
Speaker 3: it was just awesome to see both teams put on

1937
01:34:45,427 --> 01:34:47,787
Speaker 3: a good display and something for the crowd to watch.

1938
01:34:48,107 --> 01:34:50,307
Speaker 2: Of course, over the last week you had, well you

1939
01:34:50,387 --> 01:34:53,187
Speaker 2: had the last week in the black Caps environment. Despite

1940
01:34:53,267 --> 01:34:55,987
Speaker 2: not getting a game, did you take some benefits from

1941
01:34:56,067 --> 01:34:57,267
Speaker 2: the experience.

1942
01:34:57,387 --> 01:34:59,627
Speaker 3: Yes, one hundred percent. I mean those are some world

1943
01:34:59,627 --> 01:35:01,547
Speaker 3: class players, and just to be able to talk to

1944
01:35:01,667 --> 01:35:05,667
Speaker 3: them and listen to their experiences and try and implement

1945
01:35:05,827 --> 01:35:07,467
Speaker 3: what they've learned. And it's my own game, I think

1946
01:35:07,507 --> 01:35:09,707
Speaker 3: it's pretty special. And just being around that killing of

1947
01:35:09,747 --> 01:35:12,147
Speaker 3: taste for that environment, you know, it makes me hungry

1948
01:35:12,187 --> 01:35:14,787
Speaker 3: to get back there. So hopefully I can keep putting

1949
01:35:14,987 --> 01:35:16,987
Speaker 3: schools on the board and working hard and you know,

1950
01:35:17,107 --> 01:35:18,027
Speaker 3: get back there when I can.

1951
01:35:18,187 --> 01:35:19,507
Speaker 2: Do you think you might have gotten a game?

1952
01:35:21,347 --> 01:35:23,627
Speaker 3: I don't think it's impossible, you know, it's just but

1953
01:35:23,707 --> 01:35:26,467
Speaker 3: the way the cards fild, you know, sometimes you don't

1954
01:35:26,507 --> 01:35:29,347
Speaker 3: get the opportunity. But that's all good, you know, It's

1955
01:35:29,427 --> 01:35:31,187
Speaker 3: just how it works sometimes. But it's just awesome to

1956
01:35:31,227 --> 01:35:33,707
Speaker 3: be around that group and get a taste for it.

1957
01:35:33,827 --> 01:35:35,507
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, as you say it, so weet your appetite

1958
01:35:35,507 --> 01:35:37,787
Speaker 2: and got you're hungry for. I'm sure the opportunity will

1959
01:35:37,787 --> 01:35:39,587
Speaker 2: come again soon. And of course you're off to the

1960
01:35:39,627 --> 01:35:42,707
Speaker 2: IPL too with the Mumbai Indians. The story's being told

1961
01:35:42,747 --> 01:35:45,387
Speaker 2: a bit, but can you catch us up? How did

1962
01:35:45,427 --> 01:35:45,947
Speaker 2: it all happen?

1963
01:35:48,547 --> 01:35:52,307
Speaker 3: Where I start? Put my name in the auction very late,

1964
01:35:53,507 --> 01:35:56,307
Speaker 3: woke up at five point thirty two one call from

1965
01:35:56,307 --> 01:35:58,547
Speaker 3: the coven South Africa saying I got picked. I didn't

1966
01:35:58,547 --> 01:36:00,227
Speaker 3: believe them at first, and then I got about a

1967
01:36:00,307 --> 01:36:03,827
Speaker 3: million other messages and checked social media and there it was.

1968
01:36:04,627 --> 01:36:07,827
Speaker 3: So but yeah, that was pretty epic. And then got

1969
01:36:07,867 --> 01:36:10,667
Speaker 3: the call up into the international squad not too long after.

1970
01:36:10,747 --> 01:36:14,147
Speaker 3: So it's been a bit of a few weeks but

1971
01:36:14,987 --> 01:36:16,667
Speaker 3: all good news, honestly. But now it so, I guess

1972
01:36:16,667 --> 01:36:19,147
Speaker 3: it's just about, you know, coming back to coming back

1973
01:36:19,147 --> 01:36:22,267
Speaker 3: to the present and just focusing on how I can

1974
01:36:22,307 --> 01:36:23,987
Speaker 3: do the best I can for for Auckland.

1975
01:36:24,187 --> 01:36:25,867
Speaker 2: Well, the fact that you went to bed rather than

1976
01:36:25,907 --> 01:36:27,467
Speaker 2: sort of you know, stayed up and kept an eye

1977
01:36:27,507 --> 01:36:30,667
Speaker 2: on the auction would suggest that you weren't supremely confident

1978
01:36:30,707 --> 01:36:33,187
Speaker 2: of being picked up. So was it actually a surprise

1979
01:36:33,227 --> 01:36:35,747
Speaker 2: when you got the call from your your South African cousin,

1980
01:36:35,787 --> 01:36:37,627
Speaker 2: and then all the messages started flying in and you realize,

1981
01:36:37,627 --> 01:36:39,587
Speaker 2: actually this is true. I have been picked up.

1982
01:36:40,187 --> 01:36:41,787
Speaker 3: There was a heck of a surprise. I mean, you're

1983
01:36:41,827 --> 01:36:44,427
Speaker 3: training early the next day, and I thought I should

1984
01:36:44,427 --> 01:36:46,187
Speaker 3: get my rest, so, you know, because day one of

1985
01:36:46,227 --> 01:36:48,667
Speaker 3: the auction had already been complete. Sos that are it's

1986
01:36:48,707 --> 01:36:51,987
Speaker 3: probably not the biggest chance. But I've got training, so

1987
01:36:51,987 --> 01:36:53,627
Speaker 3: I got a head to bed and then I got

1988
01:36:53,667 --> 01:36:56,507
Speaker 3: working up by that at five thirty. Yeah, definitely, definitely

1989
01:36:56,507 --> 01:36:57,227
Speaker 3: a huge surprise.

1990
01:36:57,507 --> 01:36:59,547
Speaker 2: Brilliant stuff. Now what an exciting time for you, mate.

1991
01:36:59,587 --> 01:37:01,427
Speaker 2: Well before you can even look at that, you got

1992
01:37:01,467 --> 01:37:03,627
Speaker 2: the white ball or the remainder of the white ball

1993
01:37:03,707 --> 01:37:06,787
Speaker 2: season with Auckland. Congrats on a troffic before wants from

1994
01:37:06,787 --> 01:37:08,707
Speaker 2: you and the team yesterday, mate, and thanks for taking

1995
01:37:08,747 --> 01:37:09,627
Speaker 2: the time for a chat today.

1996
01:37:10,187 --> 01:37:11,547
Speaker 3: Thanks Jasin, appreciate you time.

1997
01:37:11,627 --> 01:37:13,987
Speaker 2: Now, I appreciate yours, speven. Thanks indeed, Bevin, Jacob's there

1998
01:37:15,427 --> 01:37:17,787
Speaker 2: a name to look out for. I thought they might

1999
01:37:17,827 --> 01:37:19,627
Speaker 2: give him a game in the t twenties. You know,

2000
01:37:19,667 --> 01:37:21,987
Speaker 2: they were two l up going to Nelson. I get

2001
01:37:22,107 --> 01:37:24,467
Speaker 2: that you want to reward performance and that's what Mitchell

2002
01:37:24,467 --> 01:37:27,347
Speaker 2: Santners said. Yeah, but Bevan Jacobs was in that squad

2003
01:37:28,107 --> 01:37:31,307
Speaker 2: and neither he or Nathan Smith got a game in

2004
01:37:31,387 --> 01:37:33,547
Speaker 2: the T twenties. Nathan Smith at least stays in the

2005
01:37:33,587 --> 01:37:36,427
Speaker 2: squad for the fifty over stuff and I would hope

2006
01:37:36,467 --> 01:37:38,667
Speaker 2: to see him at least in one of the games

2007
01:37:39,227 --> 01:37:41,267
Speaker 2: to come, either tomorrow and Wellington, and that'd be a

2008
01:37:41,307 --> 01:37:44,027
Speaker 2: good place to play actually his home home ground in

2009
01:37:44,147 --> 01:37:46,347
Speaker 2: Hamilton and Auckland. I think it'd be pretty tough on

2010
01:37:46,467 --> 01:37:48,427
Speaker 2: Nathan Smith if he's with the team for the T

2011
01:37:48,587 --> 01:37:51,987
Speaker 2: twenty and one day series and doesn't get a game

2012
01:37:52,027 --> 01:37:54,787
Speaker 2: across six. But yeah, Bevan Jacobs, I would like to

2013
01:37:54,827 --> 01:37:57,627
Speaker 2: see him have a crack for New Zealand. I don't

2014
01:37:57,867 --> 01:38:01,187
Speaker 2: think that'll be too far away watching him back yesterday

2015
01:38:01,187 --> 01:38:03,187
Speaker 2: and I'm mentioning it to him there. He's got a

2016
01:38:03,347 --> 01:38:06,827
Speaker 2: range of shots. Man, as he was driving, you know,

2017
01:38:07,067 --> 01:38:09,627
Speaker 2: down the ground, he was going over cover for six.

2018
01:38:10,187 --> 01:38:12,627
Speaker 2: He obviously has got the natural swing of a right

2019
01:38:13,387 --> 01:38:16,227
Speaker 2: right hander and he's down the ground and over mid wicket,

2020
01:38:16,307 --> 01:38:19,307
Speaker 2: but he's scoring all around the ground in a terrific

2021
01:38:19,387 --> 01:38:22,227
Speaker 2: fielder as well. If you haven't seen that catch. Just

2022
01:38:22,267 --> 01:38:25,067
Speaker 2: have a look at that find it online Someway. Just

2023
01:38:25,947 --> 01:38:29,227
Speaker 2: type in Jacob's catch. I'm sure it will pop up

2024
01:38:29,267 --> 01:38:33,147
Speaker 2: there for you. Really really good stuff from him. Two

01:40:03,667 --> 01:40:08,427
Speaker 11: have both exited the competition, Lawson going down and Tony

2052
01:40:08,467 --> 01:40:11,907

2058
01:40:33,987 --> 01:40:36,427

2059
01:40:36,827 --> 01:40:39,667
Speaker 11: Not to be for Lawson and grant them actually the

2060
01:40:39,747 --> 01:40:43,747
Speaker 11: peers fourteen to thirteen. The m Pulson also up against

2061
01:40:44,067 --> 01:40:47,387
Speaker 11: Katherine Bean of Saint Heliers and it was Catherine Bean

2062
01:40:47,467 --> 01:40:50,547
Speaker 11: who ran out the winner by twenty one shots to nineteen.

2063
01:40:51,027 --> 01:40:54,307

2064
01:40:54,347 --> 01:40:57,347

2065
01:40:57,427 --> 01:41:03,947
Speaker 11: Zealand development player Lisa Pradeaux at how this afternoon so upsets,

2066
01:41:03,987 --> 01:41:05,987
Speaker 11: I can tell you how big. In the woman singles

2067
01:41:06,027 --> 01:41:09,947
Speaker 11: we saw current New Zealand blackjack player Selena Goddard defeated

2068
01:41:10,347 --> 01:41:12,787
Speaker 11: by Olivia Menza and the young player out of the

2069
01:41:12,867 --> 01:41:17,907
Speaker 11: Burnside Club and christ Church. She defended Selena Goddard, former

2070
01:41:17,947 --> 01:41:22,947

2073
01:41:29,947 --> 01:41:33,027
Speaker 11: and the former black jack who the winner by twenty

2074
01:41:33,107 --> 01:41:39,427

2076
01:41:43,587 --> 01:41:47,427
Speaker 11: She's still going. She just defeated Angela Stevens big game

2077
01:41:47,507 --> 01:41:49,627
Speaker 11: that would hack. But the real big game, I think

2078
01:41:50,267 --> 01:41:53,747
Speaker 11: that's the game between Taylor Bruce and Dale Rayner of

2079

2094
01:42:50,347 --> 01:42:53,947
Speaker 11: very very passionate bowlers Wridden they'll have attack of Pluna Club.

01:43:16,787 --> 01:43:20,387
Speaker 11: way to the last sixteen. Former New Zealand Singles winner

2109
01:43:48,507 --> 01:43:51,467

2110
01:43:51,507 --> 01:43:55,907
Speaker 11: weather that we've had today, Jason, some Greens are a

2111
01:43:55,947 --> 01:43:59,347
Speaker 11: headress results somewhere behind, so sort of in the catch

2112
01:43:59,427 --> 01:44:02,867
Speaker 11: up phase, I suppose you could say. But the big surprise,

2113
01:44:02,947 --> 01:44:06,027
Speaker 11: of course Gary Lawson going out in the peers and

2114
01:44:06,147 --> 01:44:10,747

Speaker 11: the Somerset Nationals.

2117
01:44:17,107 --> 01:44:19,507

2118
01:44:19,667 --> 01:44:22,147
Speaker 2: new champions anyway when they're crowned in the and the

2119
01:44:22,187 --> 01:44:24,987
Speaker 2: men's bear and the women's singles tomorrow. Has weather been

2120
01:44:25,027 --> 01:44:28,347
Speaker 2: a factor across the you know, the last few days, Kevin?

2121
01:44:28,427 --> 01:44:31,627
Speaker 2: Or is it is always? Is always a bit changeable?

2122
01:44:31,707 --> 01:44:31,947
Speaker 2: Isn't it?

2123
01:44:32,907 --> 01:44:41,187
Speaker 11: To compliment Cny wouldn't want to be on the camping

Speaker 11: holiday in the in the Auckland area at present if

2125

2126
01:44:47,547 --> 01:44:53,587
Speaker 11: blowing Just about to say that from your point of view, Jason,

2127
01:44:53,667 --> 01:44:56,187
Speaker 11: that that right now KLD will be the capital of

2128

2133
01:45:09,627 --> 01:45:12,467
Speaker 2: as the tournament goes on, well, as we.

2134
01:45:12,587 --> 01:45:14,667
Speaker 11: Light up for the day on Monday, they light up

2135
01:45:14,707 --> 01:45:18,707
Speaker 11: for the women's, the women's peer and men's singles. That say,

2136
01:45:18,867 --> 01:45:23,187
Speaker 11: the disability singles as well, it's around about it's twenty

2137
01:45:23,347 --> 01:45:27,307
Speaker 11: seven greens around North Harbor and Auckland that they'll be using.

2138
01:45:27,347 --> 01:45:32,187
Speaker 11: But we have got the advantage here in Auckland built

2139
01:45:32,227 --> 01:45:34,907
Speaker 11: for the weather. I suppose if we've got the number

2140
01:45:34,947 --> 01:45:39,987
Speaker 11: of artificial services and covered complexes as well, which we

2141
01:45:40,147 --> 01:45:42,347
Speaker 11: really haven't had to use at this stage, that the

2142
01:45:42,507 --> 01:45:46,867
Speaker 11: rain hasn't been totally disrupting. It's been annoying more than anything,

2143
01:45:47,587 --> 01:45:50,387
Speaker 11: and the wind has just been constant. But you know,

2144
01:45:50,547 --> 01:45:52,707
Speaker 11: it's a big demand on the organizers when you have

2145
01:45:52,827 --> 01:45:56,987
Speaker 11: this inconsistent weather patterns for nine or ten days, certainly

2146
01:45:57,427 --> 01:45:59,947
Speaker 11: in the early stages of the events, especially when they

2147
01:46:00,027 --> 01:46:03,307
Speaker 11: need the most amount of greens. That really puts the

2148
01:46:03,427 --> 01:46:04,747
Speaker 11: challenge out to the organizers.

2149
01:46:05,347 --> 01:46:07,827
Speaker 2: All right, So busy day or busy afternoon or the

2150
01:46:07,867 --> 01:46:10,067
Speaker 2: rest of it today, then as you mentioned, we'll be

2151
01:46:10,147 --> 01:46:13,867
Speaker 2: down to the final few who will play the matches tomorrow.

2152
01:46:13,947 --> 01:46:16,107
Speaker 2: So what time will the will the titles be handed

2153
01:46:16,147 --> 01:46:17,787
Speaker 2: out tomorrow afternoon? And where's headquarters?

2154
01:46:18,347 --> 01:46:22,267
Speaker 11: So headquarters at Brown's Bay, And I can tell you

2155
01:46:22,467 --> 01:46:26,067
Speaker 11: that the if I look now, the quarterfinals will get

2156
01:46:26,147 --> 01:46:31,227
Speaker 11: underway tomorrow morning out at Browns Bay at eight thirty am.

2157
01:46:31,347 --> 01:46:35,027
Speaker 11: Because there's three rounds to be played, so quarterfinals, semifinal

2158
01:46:35,147 --> 01:46:38,787
Speaker 11: and finals, and then the women's where of course we'll

2159
01:46:38,827 --> 01:46:42,427
Speaker 11: be down to, will be down to the semifinals and

2160
01:46:42,787 --> 01:46:46,947

01:46:57,947 --> 01:47:00,787
Speaker 11: in the afternoon because they having to play three rounds

2165

Speaker 11: impeed to the women having to play the two rounds.

2166

Speaker 2: from you. But thanks so much for joining us this

2169
01:47:11,227 --> 01:47:13,747
Speaker 2: afternoon and giving us such a comprehensive update.

2170
01:47:14,467 --> 01:47:16,227
Speaker 11: All the best, Sason, Thanks very much.

2171
01:47:16,547 --> 01:47:18,267
Speaker 2: All the best to you two, Kevin, Kevin Hicklin that

2172
01:47:18,467 --> 01:47:20,867
Speaker 2: you know his voice, I'm sure from many many years

2173
01:47:20,907 --> 01:47:22,987
Speaker 2: of covering the sport of balls. There you go, the

2174
01:47:23,027 --> 01:47:26,587
Speaker 2: most up to date information you'll get and the upshot

2175
01:47:26,627 --> 01:47:29,227
Speaker 2: tomorrow is the quarterfinals of the men's pairs from eight

2176
01:47:29,347 --> 01:47:32,907
Speaker 2: thirty into semifinals and the final in the afternoon, and

2177
01:47:33,067 --> 01:47:35,947
Speaker 2: in the women's singles, the semifinals from eight thirty tomorrow

2178
01:47:35,987 --> 01:47:39,827
Speaker 2: morning with the final at eleven. Those finals matches taking

2179
01:47:39,907 --> 01:47:44,667
Speaker 2: place at headquarters at Brown's Bay, and then following tomorrow's

2180
01:47:44,667 --> 01:47:46,627
Speaker 2: action they'll flip it around and it'll be the men's

2181
01:47:46,627 --> 01:47:50,347
Speaker 2: singles and the women's pairs following a very similar format

2182
01:47:50,507 --> 01:47:53,147
Speaker 2: over the first three or four days of next week.

2183
01:47:53,827 --> 01:47:57,187
Speaker 2: It's twenty three away from three. We'll get to some

2184
01:47:57,307 --> 01:47:59,987
Speaker 2: more football in a moment. Australia have lost their fifth

2185
01:48:00,027 --> 01:48:03,307
Speaker 2: wicket at the SCG and it is the Price scalp

2186
01:48:03,387 --> 01:48:07,227
Speaker 2: of Steve Smith out for thirty three, So Australia one

2187
01:48:07,387 --> 01:48:10,787
Speaker 2: hundred and one for five. Bo Webster on debut looking

2188
01:48:10,827 --> 01:48:14,307
Speaker 2: pretty good, unbeaten on twenty eight including three boundaries. He's

2189
01:48:14,347 --> 01:48:17,507
Speaker 2: been joined by Alex Carey, so one hundred and one

2190
01:48:17,627 --> 01:48:20,947
Speaker 2: for five Australia. That in reply to India's first innings

2191
01:48:20,987 --> 01:48:23,987
Speaker 2: yesterday of one hundred and eighty five. And in the

2192
01:48:24,027 --> 01:48:26,227
Speaker 2: Super Spanish the Central Hins and their chase for one

2193
01:48:26,347 --> 01:48:29,347
Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen to beat the Wellington Blaze and the

2194
01:48:29,387 --> 01:48:32,147
Speaker 2: women's match at Saxton. Oval and Nelson have got off

2195
01:48:32,187 --> 01:48:35,267
Speaker 2: to what you might call a rather inauspicious start. They

2196
01:48:35,307 --> 01:48:38,947
Speaker 2: are fifteen for two. I've lost a couple of wickets

2197
01:48:39,147 --> 01:48:42,747
Speaker 2: early on Holyamtage out for three and tams and Newton

2198
01:48:43,267 --> 01:48:45,267
Speaker 2: for a dark, both to the bowling of Jess Kerr,

2199
01:48:45,307 --> 01:48:48,547
Speaker 2: who was having an absolute day out after scoring fifty

2200
01:48:48,667 --> 01:48:51,627
Speaker 2: nine with the bat. She's got two for seven with

2201
01:48:51,787 --> 01:48:54,987
Speaker 2: the ball Jess Kerr. The Central Hines fifteen for two

2202
01:48:55,227 --> 01:48:57,907
Speaker 2: after four overs, needing a further one hundred runs off

2203
01:48:57,947 --> 01:49:01,067
Speaker 2: sixteen overs to beat the Wellington Blaze. Take a break,

2204
01:49:01,147 --> 01:49:03,627
Speaker 2: come back and get inside the Wellington Phoenix women's camp.

2205
01:49:03,707 --> 01:49:07,027
Speaker 2: They take on Perth Glory this afternoon. They're Englis. Olivia

2206
01:49:07,107 --> 01:49:09,947
Speaker 2: Ferguson is with us right after this one.

2207
01:49:10,147 --> 01:49:15,347
Speaker 1: Crutch Hold Engage Weekends for It with Jason Tame and GJ.

2208
01:49:15,547 --> 01:49:18,267
Speaker 1: Gunnerhomes New Zealand's first trusted home builder.

2209
01:49:18,427 --> 01:49:21,747
Speaker 2: News Talks to Baby, News Talks to b It's nineteen

2210
01:49:21,907 --> 01:49:24,867
Speaker 2: away from three. The Wellington Phoenix women's side back at

2211
01:49:24,907 --> 01:49:28,067
Speaker 2: home this afternoon in a League women's action. They take

2212
01:49:28,147 --> 01:49:31,427
Speaker 2: on Perth Glory at Pottydoor Park with a kickoff at four.

2213
01:49:31,747 --> 01:49:33,987
Speaker 2: The Phoenix are currently seventh on the ladder, but just

2214
01:49:34,067 --> 01:49:38,227
Speaker 2: one point outside the top six. Perth Glorious currently sitting

2215
01:49:38,347 --> 01:49:42,547
Speaker 2: in ninth position. Phoenix striker Olivia Ferguson scored her first

2216
01:49:42,587 --> 01:49:45,187
Speaker 2: goal for the club and last weekend's two to one

2217
01:49:45,307 --> 01:49:48,067
Speaker 2: defeat away at league leaders Melbourne City.

2218
01:49:48,227 --> 01:49:51,827
Speaker 22: An Apple's giving away cheaply, Jarley fumbles and there it is,

2219
01:49:52,867 --> 01:49:56,467
Speaker 22: Olivia fergus said, gets on the store sheet. As I

2220
01:49:56,667 --> 01:49:59,547
Speaker 22: was mentioning being dangerous at times from City to work

2221
01:49:59,587 --> 01:50:02,867
Speaker 22: their way out and Wellington punished them. Sup poor pass

2222
01:50:02,907 --> 01:50:05,427
Speaker 22: from me res out straight to Jarley and ready and

2223
01:50:05,507 --> 01:50:08,987
Speaker 22: waiting was a Glivia Ferguson her first goal and the

2224
01:50:09,067 --> 01:50:10,067
Speaker 22: all important.

2225
01:50:09,707 --> 01:50:10,827
Speaker 10: First goal of this game.

2226
01:50:10,987 --> 01:50:13,187
Speaker 2: Olivia Ferguson as with us now. Thanks for taking the

2227
01:50:13,227 --> 01:50:16,547
Speaker 2: time Olivia, despite the results obviously not going your way

2228
01:50:16,707 --> 01:50:19,627
Speaker 2: a week ago. How satisfying was it to score your

2229
01:50:19,627 --> 01:50:20,747
Speaker 2: first goal for your new club.

2230
01:50:21,587 --> 01:50:25,747
Speaker 21: Hello? Yeah, I think the result was obviously disappointing, but

2231
01:50:25,987 --> 01:50:28,667
Speaker 21: the whole team performance we felt like we deserve to

2232
01:50:28,707 --> 01:50:31,507
Speaker 21: get something out of the game. For me, getting my

2233
01:50:31,587 --> 01:50:35,307
Speaker 21: first goal was really important. For anyone that's seen the goal,

2234
01:50:35,387 --> 01:50:37,787
Speaker 21: it was probably of the easiest one of score all season,

2235
01:50:37,907 --> 01:50:40,347
Speaker 21: but sometimes you just need one like that to get

2236
01:50:40,387 --> 01:50:43,187
Speaker 21: off the mark. I would have preferred it if it

2237
01:50:43,227 --> 01:50:44,947
Speaker 21: would have counted towards some points at the end of

2238
01:50:44,987 --> 01:50:47,627
Speaker 21: the game. But yeah, we keep moving forward and we're

2239
01:50:47,667 --> 01:50:49,867
Speaker 21: really pleased with Howard performed in the game.

2240
01:50:50,107 --> 01:50:52,547
Speaker 2: Well, one of the old editors about goals is that

2241
01:50:52,587 --> 01:50:54,787
Speaker 2: they all count for one regardless of how they come

2242
01:50:55,627 --> 01:50:58,427
Speaker 2: as a striker. How important is it for you to

2243
01:50:58,547 --> 01:51:01,307
Speaker 2: contribute with goals even though your all around performances have

2244
01:51:01,387 --> 01:51:04,187
Speaker 2: been have been good. How important is it to also

2245
01:51:04,307 --> 01:51:05,507
Speaker 2: chalk up goals for the side?

2246
01:51:06,787 --> 01:51:09,587
Speaker 21: Yeah, definitely. I think when you wear number nine and

2247
01:51:09,587 --> 01:51:12,147
Speaker 21: you're play in that position, you do carry that responsibility.

2248
01:51:12,547 --> 01:51:14,587
Speaker 21: It's good for us that we've had goals from across

2249
01:51:14,667 --> 01:51:17,147
Speaker 21: the pitch, and I do film my performances. They're adding

2250
01:51:17,187 --> 01:51:19,747
Speaker 21: a lot of value even without goals. But yeah, I

2251
01:51:19,827 --> 01:51:22,147
Speaker 21: do take that responsibility on my shoulders and I want

2252
01:51:22,187 --> 01:51:25,147
Speaker 21: to be scoring and yeah, it's really good to be

2253
01:51:25,187 --> 01:51:26,787
Speaker 21: off the mark and hopefully I can find a bit

2254
01:51:26,787 --> 01:51:28,067
Speaker 21: of slow now in front of goal.

2255
01:51:28,547 --> 01:51:30,707
Speaker 2: It was a narrow defeating and a good performance, as

2256
01:51:30,707 --> 01:51:32,267
Speaker 2: you've outlined, and it came off the back of a

2257
01:51:32,307 --> 01:51:35,187
Speaker 2: four game and beaten streak. So over the last four

2258
01:51:35,307 --> 01:51:37,787
Speaker 2: or five games, what particularly do you think has been

2259
01:51:37,867 --> 01:51:39,787
Speaker 2: going really well for the side.

2260
01:51:41,267 --> 01:51:44,467
Speaker 21: Yeah, I think we've found some really good momentum. I

2261
01:51:44,507 --> 01:51:48,827
Speaker 21: think that's everything in football, really positive performances individually but

2262
01:51:48,907 --> 01:51:51,787
Speaker 21: also as a collective. I think we've really been buying

2263
01:51:51,787 --> 01:51:54,427
Speaker 21: into what Paul Temple has been asking us to do. Tactically.

2264
01:51:55,187 --> 01:51:58,667
Speaker 21: We've managed to make tweaks dependent on the opposition, which

2265
01:51:58,707 --> 01:52:01,907
Speaker 21: has been really good for us. And yeah, I think

2266
01:52:02,027 --> 01:52:04,907
Speaker 21: momentum is the most important thing, but I also don't

2267
01:52:04,907 --> 01:52:06,867
Speaker 21: think we've lost that with the defeat. I think we'll

2268
01:52:06,867 --> 01:52:09,347
Speaker 21: carry on going. Our performance was really good and we

2269
01:52:09,667 --> 01:52:11,747
Speaker 21: were unlucky not to get something out of the game.

2270
01:52:11,627 --> 01:52:12,027
Speaker 3: In the end.

2271
01:52:12,707 --> 01:52:15,147
Speaker 2: Just the nine goals scored in eight games for the side.

2272
01:52:15,347 --> 01:52:18,027
Speaker 2: You've been good defensively, but just nine goals scored. How

2273
01:52:18,147 --> 01:52:21,347
Speaker 2: hard are you working on creating more chances and scoring

2274
01:52:21,387 --> 01:52:24,347
Speaker 2: more goals? Yeah, we always are.

2275
01:52:24,387 --> 01:52:27,187
Speaker 21: We're working on that in training and finishing as well.

2276
01:52:28,147 --> 01:52:32,307
Speaker 21: I think ultimately, you know, if we're struck tight at

2277
01:52:32,347 --> 01:52:34,387
Speaker 21: the basket, can only take one goal to win a game.

2278
01:52:35,267 --> 01:52:37,827
Speaker 21: So yeah, tightening up defensively was one of our targets

2279
01:52:37,867 --> 01:52:41,147
Speaker 21: after the first couple of games, and then getting that

2280
01:52:41,267 --> 01:52:43,547
Speaker 21: momentum with the wins. You know, we haven't been scoring

2281
01:52:43,587 --> 01:52:45,947
Speaker 21: lots of goals but we've done enough to get the results,

2282
01:52:46,027 --> 01:52:47,387
Speaker 21: which is the most important thing.

2283
01:52:48,587 --> 01:52:50,507
Speaker 2: In the attacking third. And it maybe lends itself to

2284
01:52:50,547 --> 01:52:54,067
Speaker 2: what you mentioned before about technically tweaking things for different oppositions.

2285
01:52:54,347 --> 01:52:56,307
Speaker 2: You've started the last five games, but the likes of

2286
01:52:56,387 --> 01:52:58,827
Speaker 2: Grace Jarlay in the main less of winnerm and others

2287
01:52:58,867 --> 01:53:00,667
Speaker 2: have been sort of rotated in and out of the

2288
01:53:00,747 --> 01:53:04,147
Speaker 2: side and used and impact roles. Has that been challenging

2289
01:53:04,227 --> 01:53:06,947
Speaker 2: at all for you or are the connections there regardless

2290
01:53:07,307 --> 01:53:08,227
Speaker 2: of who's on the field.

2291
01:53:09,507 --> 01:53:11,987
Speaker 21: Yeah, no, I don't think so. Obviously, we trained together

2292
01:53:12,107 --> 01:53:15,667
Speaker 21: full time in the week, so we have those connections,

2293
01:53:15,787 --> 01:53:18,227
Speaker 21: and I think those players that have been used as

2294
01:53:18,267 --> 01:53:20,787
Speaker 21: impact players has been brilliant off the bench. And we

2295
01:53:20,907 --> 01:53:22,667
Speaker 21: have a big week coming up where we'll need to

2296
01:53:22,747 --> 01:53:26,147
Speaker 21: use everybody across the three games. But yeah, no, we

2297
01:53:26,507 --> 01:53:28,507
Speaker 21: all connect really well no matter who's.

2298
01:53:28,307 --> 01:53:28,747
Speaker 8: On the pitch.

2299
01:53:29,467 --> 01:53:31,787
Speaker 2: You played for a long time in the UK. Why

2300
01:53:31,827 --> 01:53:33,947
Speaker 2: did you decide to make them move to the other

2301
01:53:34,027 --> 01:53:36,227
Speaker 2: side of the world and link up with Wellington Phoenix.

2302
01:53:37,747 --> 01:53:37,987
Speaker 15: Yeah?

2303
01:53:38,067 --> 01:53:39,747
Speaker 21: I guess that's the question A lot of people have

2304
01:53:39,787 --> 01:53:41,467
Speaker 21: asked me. I've played in England for quite a while.

2305
01:53:42,587 --> 01:53:44,867
Speaker 21: I just fanted a different challenge. The A League was

2306
01:53:44,947 --> 01:53:48,107
Speaker 21: exciting to me coming across to New Zealand and experience

2307
01:53:48,187 --> 01:53:51,787
Speaker 21: in a different culture, meeting different people was also exciting

2308
01:53:51,827 --> 01:53:55,027
Speaker 21: to me, just a life experience. But yeah, the A

2309
01:53:55,227 --> 01:53:59,147
Speaker 21: League and playing for Phoenix was definitely what pulled me here.

2310
01:54:00,267 --> 01:54:01,307
Speaker 21: Just a different challenge.

2311
01:54:01,347 --> 01:54:01,587
Speaker 6: Really.

2312
01:54:02,227 --> 01:54:04,067
Speaker 2: As a new player to the A League, have you

2313
01:54:04,147 --> 01:54:05,987
Speaker 2: had to do a bit more work in the background

2314
01:54:06,067 --> 01:54:09,147
Speaker 2: to familiarize yourself with the players and the teams that

2315
01:54:09,267 --> 01:54:10,987
Speaker 2: you're coming up against for the first time.

2316
01:54:12,307 --> 01:54:15,747
Speaker 21: Yeah, definitely. I think our staff have been really good

2317
01:54:15,787 --> 01:54:17,827
Speaker 21: with that, with the level of information we get given

2318
01:54:17,867 --> 01:54:20,827
Speaker 21: before games anyway. But it can be a positive as well,

2319
01:54:20,907 --> 01:54:23,467
Speaker 21: that little bit of naivety, especially when you play against

2320
01:54:23,707 --> 01:54:27,747
Speaker 21: the bigger teams and bigger name players. Just that bit

2321
01:54:27,787 --> 01:54:31,387
Speaker 21: of bravery and freedom without any expectations.

2322
01:54:31,467 --> 01:54:34,107
Speaker 2: Really, and here's the Phoeix been an easy team for

2323
01:54:34,187 --> 01:54:36,507
Speaker 2: you to fit into. Culture wise, the playing group, the

2324
01:54:36,587 --> 01:54:38,867
Speaker 2: coaching staff, for the living in Wellington.

2325
01:54:40,267 --> 01:54:42,707
Speaker 21: Yeah, I'm having such an amazing time. It's such a

2326
01:54:42,787 --> 01:54:46,067
Speaker 21: great group. All the girls are lovely, the staff are lovely.

2327
01:54:46,587 --> 01:54:49,107
Speaker 21: It's been one of the easiest places for me to settle,

2328
01:54:49,267 --> 01:54:52,267
Speaker 21: even though it's so far away from home, but yeah,

2329
01:54:52,347 --> 01:54:55,027
Speaker 21: it really does feel like home already. Everyone's been so

2330
01:54:55,187 --> 01:54:56,707
Speaker 21: welcoming and so nice.

2331
01:54:57,027 --> 01:54:58,947
Speaker 2: So can your family and friends back home watch the games,

2332
01:54:58,987 --> 01:55:00,547
Speaker 2: presuming they can pick them up somewhere.

2333
01:55:01,947 --> 01:55:05,067
Speaker 21: Yeah, they are managing to watch them. The biggest issue

2334
01:55:05,147 --> 01:55:08,787
Speaker 21: is the time different. My dad's having to get us

2335
01:55:08,787 --> 01:55:13,067
Speaker 21: at three am to watch the game. Sometimes you'll send

2336
01:55:13,107 --> 01:55:14,867
Speaker 21: me a message after the game with what he thought

2337
01:55:14,867 --> 01:55:17,947
Speaker 21: about the game, and it's just spelling mistakes everywhere. He's

2338
01:55:18,267 --> 01:55:21,947
Speaker 21: type a silly hour in the morning. But my dad

2339
01:55:22,067 --> 01:55:24,867
Speaker 21: and my granddad are actually over here now in Wellington

2340
01:55:24,947 --> 01:55:26,947
Speaker 21: and they'll be they'll be at the game today, so

2341
01:55:27,267 --> 01:55:27,947
Speaker 21: that'll be really.

2342
01:55:27,867 --> 01:55:30,027
Speaker 2: Nice, fantastic. Oh, that's great. That's typing will be a

2343
01:55:30,067 --> 01:55:31,947
Speaker 2: lot better and they him probably just tell you after

2344
01:55:31,987 --> 01:55:34,347
Speaker 2: the game rather than rather than send you a message.

2345
01:55:34,387 --> 01:55:37,747
Speaker 2: That's terrific stuff. That's parental dedication and wonderful. You mentioned

2346
01:55:37,907 --> 01:55:43,187
Speaker 2: before about the busy week ahead after Perth Glory this afternoon,

2347
01:55:43,427 --> 01:55:45,827
Speaker 2: you've got a game on Thursday away at Western Sydney

2348
01:55:45,867 --> 01:55:50,067
Speaker 2: and then Adelaide on Sunday. So with the slightly busier week,

2349
01:55:50,187 --> 01:55:53,827
Speaker 2: does that change the way that you structure a week

2350
01:55:54,387 --> 01:55:55,347
Speaker 2: with three games in it.

2351
01:55:57,107 --> 01:55:57,987
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess.

2352
01:55:58,067 --> 01:56:01,587
Speaker 21: So we'll be training most days as we normally have

2353
01:56:01,627 --> 01:56:03,747
Speaker 21: a day off, but we need to use every day

2354
01:56:03,787 --> 01:56:06,827
Speaker 21: that we have to get the tactical information in. I

2355
01:56:06,867 --> 01:56:08,507
Speaker 21: do think the group's in a really good place. I

2356
01:56:08,587 --> 01:56:11,187
Speaker 21: think we've got the balance right between enjoying the New

2357
01:56:11,267 --> 01:56:15,147
Speaker 21: Year and Christmas but also being in and training. We'll

2358
01:56:15,147 --> 01:56:17,627
Speaker 21: obviously be needing to use our depth across our squad,

2359
01:56:17,667 --> 01:56:19,947
Speaker 21: which I think we have really strong squad, and like

2360
01:56:20,027 --> 01:56:22,107
Speaker 21: we spoke about those players before who have kind of

2361
01:56:22,147 --> 01:56:25,707
Speaker 21: been rotated at times, we'll need everybody and they'll all

2362
01:56:25,787 --> 01:56:27,387
Speaker 21: be ready, I'm sure, all right.

2363
01:56:27,427 --> 01:56:29,467
Speaker 2: And then so after these three games, that'll be the

2364
01:56:29,547 --> 01:56:32,827
Speaker 2: halfway point of the twenty two game regular season. This

2365
01:56:33,067 --> 01:56:35,707
Speaker 2: is probably a silly question to ask, but does Wellington

2366
01:56:35,787 --> 01:56:37,827
Speaker 2: feel like a top six side to you?

2367
01:56:39,507 --> 01:56:39,667
Speaker 17: Oh?

2368
01:56:40,347 --> 01:56:43,947
Speaker 21: Definitely, I think looking at our performances, particularly in that

2369
01:56:44,107 --> 01:56:46,867
Speaker 21: unbeaten run of those four games. You know, we've played

2370
01:56:46,907 --> 01:56:50,667
Speaker 21: Brisbane Raw, we've played Sydney Efty, we've played Melbourne Citty

2371
01:56:50,707 --> 01:56:53,467
Speaker 21: and we've had good performances and we've managed to get

2372
01:56:53,507 --> 01:56:58,067
Speaker 21: results in those games. You know, the table is so sorry.

2373
01:56:58,147 --> 01:57:01,147
Speaker 21: The ladder is so tight at the moment and you

2374
01:57:01,227 --> 01:57:03,187
Speaker 21: know a result one way or another can leave you

2375
01:57:03,307 --> 01:57:07,027
Speaker 21: in tenth or fourth, so it's really exciting. We just

2376
01:57:07,107 --> 01:57:10,307
Speaker 21: concentrate on ourselves and I think by the end of

2377
01:57:10,427 --> 01:57:12,747
Speaker 21: the season, yeah, we can definitely be finishing in that

2378
01:57:12,867 --> 01:57:13,307
Speaker 21: top six.

2379
01:57:13,587 --> 01:57:15,707
Speaker 2: Fantastic Olivia, great to chat to you. All the best

2380
01:57:15,747 --> 01:57:17,787
Speaker 2: against Perth Glory. Really appreciate you taking the time.

2381
01:57:18,107 --> 01:57:19,707
Speaker 8: Thank you so much, Thank you, Olivia.

2382
01:57:19,747 --> 01:57:24,147
Speaker 2: Olivia Ferguson there, English striker for Wellington Phoenix as women's

2383
01:57:24,227 --> 01:57:27,547
Speaker 2: side four o'clockick off this afternoon at Pottydoor Park they

2384
01:57:27,667 --> 01:57:30,427
Speaker 2: take on Perth Glory. Busy week ahead, as you heard

2385
01:57:30,667 --> 01:57:35,067
Speaker 2: Olivia outline, there were three games in eight days, eleven

2386
01:57:35,147 --> 01:57:37,787
Speaker 2: to three. It's lunch at the SCG. Australia have gone

2387
01:57:37,827 --> 01:57:40,547
Speaker 2: to lunch at one hundred and one for five with

2388
01:57:40,747 --> 01:57:43,587
Speaker 2: Bo Webster twenty eight not out and Alex Carey unbeaten

2389
01:57:43,667 --> 01:57:46,467
Speaker 2: on four. So that's still a deficit of eighty four

2390
01:57:46,547 --> 01:57:50,467
Speaker 2: runs after India made one eighty five yesterday in Nelson.

2391
01:57:50,787 --> 01:57:54,387
Speaker 2: The Central Hinds have righted the ship somewhat. They are

2392
01:57:54,467 --> 01:57:57,107
Speaker 2: twenty nine for two in the eighth over chasing one

2393
01:57:57,147 --> 01:58:00,387
Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen to beat the Wellington Blaze in women's

2394
01:58:00,707 --> 01:58:03,707
Speaker 2: T twenty actions. So was that eighty six runs off

2395
01:58:03,787 --> 01:58:06,627
Speaker 2: thirteen overs, around six and a half and over for

2396
01:58:06,827 --> 01:58:09,627
Speaker 2: the Central Hines. And we're just about to get under

2397
01:58:09,667 --> 01:58:13,787
Speaker 2: way at the ASB Tennis Classic in the women's semifinals,

2398
01:58:13,827 --> 01:58:17,747
Speaker 2: the first of which will pits Clara Tolson, the Danish player,

2399
01:58:18,107 --> 01:58:22,347
Speaker 2: against Robin Montgomery from the United States, and the second

2400
01:58:22,387 --> 01:58:27,827
Speaker 2: semifinal another US player, Alicia Parks up against Japanese player

2401
01:58:28,027 --> 01:58:31,747
Speaker 2: Naomi Osaka. So the first semi set to get under

2402
01:58:31,787 --> 01:58:34,787
Speaker 2: way in around ten minutes from now. It is ten

2403
01:58:34,827 --> 01:58:37,387
Speaker 2: to three on newstalk Seedbright.

2404
01:58:37,067 --> 01:58:42,027

01:59:36,187 --> 01:59:39,187
Speaker 2: coming into twenty twenty five. How do they get so

2424
01:59:39,387 --> 01:59:42,027
Speaker 2: good so quickly both on and off the field. Their

2428
01:59:50,987 --> 01:59:54,027
Speaker 2: make sure that you keep them, especially in a sporting sense,

2429
01:59:54,427 --> 01:59:57,107
Speaker 2: if you're perhaps a grassroots coach, how do you go

2430
01:59:57,227 --> 02:00:02,187
Speaker 2: about setting New Year's resolutions and then importantly sticking to

2431
02:00:02,267 --> 02:00:06,507
