1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: In amongst all of the key we sporting success of 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: the weekend, the black Caps have managed to win. As 3 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Chris Bishop was just saying, before a Test in India 4 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: for the first time since nineteen eighty eight, the second 5 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,120 Speaker 1: test stants on Thursday, head coach Gary statters with us, Now, hey, Gary, 6 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: Hi there, Heather, congratulations, How on earth did you guys 7 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: manage this? 8 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: Well? We had a little bit of luck with the 9 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 2: toss that probably well, it didn't fall our way, but 10 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 2: it ended up doing that. So they India got stuck 11 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: on a wet wicket and we managed to bob beautifully 12 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 2: then and then get a good lead. And I thought 13 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 2: the guys played really really well throughout. And it's always 14 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 2: nice to put into your under pressure over here because 15 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 2: they're a very, very tough team to beat. 16 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: Totally, do you feel vindicated, Gary, because it wasn't that 17 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: long ago and it's only a few months ago people 18 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: were calling for your head because of the performance at 19 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: the T twenty World Cup and now look, Nah. 20 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: It doesn't change anything I do. Really, that's a game. 21 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: Doesn't get into your head at all. 22 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: Nah, it's a gay look, I mean, if you worry 23 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 2: about stuff like that yet your mind gets taken away 24 00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: from the game. So we have a lot of trust 25 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 2: belief in what we're doing as a team and as sport. 26 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: As you can see with many things that have happened 27 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: around the world, you get winners and losers and that's 28 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: just part of the part of the sport. 29 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: Have you guys got a bit of a captain's curse 30 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: going on? 31 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 2: No, I don't think so, why is that? 32 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: Well, what happened to Tom Latham? Well, I mean he's 33 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: out for fifteen and then he's out for a duck 34 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: because he's become the captain. Meanwhile Tim Southey, who's no 35 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: longer the captain? 36 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: Beautiful, Well, maybe we change it around all the time. 37 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: You think, I think you. 38 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: Should like you basically give it as a punishment to 39 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: members of the squads they do poorly from test to test. 40 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: Look, I mean it's a tough job being an open 41 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: batter in world cricket. And look, Jasper Boomer, who got 42 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: Tom Latham out yesterday is one of the best around 43 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: and it was it was very very challenging early on 44 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: and frust only lose two wickets in that first Spella 45 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: was pretty incredible really, So I thought there's a lot 46 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: of courage shown by everyone out there. 47 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: And listen, I understand you watch the women in the 48 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: final of the T twenty their own World Cup. What 49 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: do you reckon happen there? Because they were really bad, 50 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: you know, in the lead up to this tournament, and 51 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden I just pulled through. 52 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look again, it comes down to knowing where you're 53 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: trying to head as a team and what you're trying 54 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: to do. And I know that they had had trust 55 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 2: and what they were doing. They played some very good 56 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,119 Speaker 2: teams in the lead up and results don't always completely 57 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 2: give you a full picture of where things are at. 58 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: And I think it's always easy as a fan that 59 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: you want to see wins all the time, but it's 60 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: unrealistic and international international sport, and look, I'm just delighted 61 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: for the players there and the staff, and I know 62 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. 63 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: Hey, Gary, listen, thanks very much and good luck with 64 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: the remaining two tests.
