1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:01,760 Speaker 1: Heller duper ce Allen. 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 2: Now, so the crack and how about that? The Black 3 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 2: Caps India Test has resumed in Bengaluru. After bowling the 4 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 2: hosts out for a poultry forty six in the first innings, 5 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 2: the black Caps are now sitting on two hundred and 6 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 2: fourteen for five. Craig coming as a form of Black 7 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 2: Captains with us. 8 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 1: Now, Hey, Craig, isn't the secret just to repeat the 9 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: question when you're after question one? O? One of media training? 10 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: Is that what you do? 11 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: You do? 12 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 2: You repeat the question and then do you say anything 13 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 2: else or just repeat us? 14 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: Well, you know, we have a written statement that you're 15 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: prepared and you're don't you just repeat the statement or 16 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: you have a couple and you bounce from one to 17 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: the other, from one to the other. So yeah, I 18 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: mean you give it us. 19 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: But are you available, Craig to help the nets out? 20 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean that's interesting, like I mean, talking 21 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: on the you know, talking to the media. But it's probably 22 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: something that you'd expect to be the first thing that 23 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,959 Speaker 1: you get taught in. It's something I actually did get 24 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: taught when I when I started doing cricket and being 25 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: a player and being a captain, you get given some strategies. 26 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: But I suppose when you get a bit frazzled, you know, 27 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: like when you play the game of cricket. Sometimes in 28 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: you get stuck. And the worst thing is when we're 29 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: talking to each other. If it stuck, it doesn't sound 30 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: very good, does it? 31 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: Do you know what? Listening to this because this is 32 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 2: for free from Craig coming, how good is the cricket? 33 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: Did you see this coming? 34 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: No? No, not not to that extent. I suppose when 35 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: it rained on the first day and we knew that 36 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: it had been under covers for a better bit, then 37 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: you know, because any bit of a hope that we 38 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: might get some assistance. But I certainly didn't expect it 39 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: to be that. And New Zealand did it brilliantly. They 40 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: played Tim Saudi, they played three seemers and it did 41 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: work in their favorite a bold beautifully and you know, 42 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: Orouric and mat Henry have been outstanding in Saudi got 43 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: the first wicket. So the key is now they hear 44 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: that you always say it the next hour is the 45 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: most important, and they've done so far with the bat. 46 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, unfortunately lost a couple of wickets today. But 47 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: if they can get that lee. They really would like 48 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: that lead over two fifty because that puts real pressure 49 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: on India. It'd be a lot. He's about the second thing. 50 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: So we need to get as many runs and you 51 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: don't get many opportunities to beat India, and in India, 52 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: we've got to make the most of this and this 53 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: innings is really important. 54 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: So Matt Henry has just you know, bold superbly. Why 55 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: was he left out of the last couple of tests. 56 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was the big question literally because I'm 57 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: not sure why they were with a row over room 58 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: because but I did brilliantly. That was the question about 59 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: Tim Saudi playing. He was the captain and you know 60 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: he had to be packed and obviously it changed, you know, 61 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: it was howd he's stepping down. Probably probably saw this. 62 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: I meant, you know, we should have Matt Henry on 63 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: every side that we put out with his bel efforts. 64 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: So he's shown that. But I think they realized that, 65 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 1: and that's the reason why Tim Saundy stood down. And 66 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: we still saw Tim Saudi bowl bringing me well when 67 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: the conditions suit him. So but I've got it right. Unfortunately, 68 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: it took two test losses for that to happen. But 69 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: they're on the right track and I think we could 70 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: all forgive the losses in Schlanger if they win this 71 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: Test in Bangaloou. I think, you know, it's a great 72 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: way to bounce back. 73 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: So is there something like a captain's curse going on here? 74 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: Because now Tim Soudy's not the captain. He's awesome, But 75 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: now now Tom Latham's fifteen is out. What's going on? Ah? 76 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it is a huge job, it really is, 77 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: and you know especially and it's not just on the 78 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: field with all the decision making. It's it's a media, 79 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's those things. It's all the 80 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: extra stuff that you have to do. It's the meetings. 81 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: You know, you've got to make sure the players are 82 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: all happy, even though the coaches do that, as a captain, 83 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: you've got to do that. So it's probably one of 84 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: the few sports where the captain still has a massive 85 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: influence on the game because you have to do all 86 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: the decisions. Out of them, at ninety nine percent of them, 87 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: you have to come up with yourself or your own mind. 88 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: Whereas we've seen our in modern sport, there are walkie talkies, 89 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: there are water boys, there are people running on and 90 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: off your hand signals, there are lights open, so I 91 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: think the fact though so cricket. The captain still has 92 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: a major influence on how the day runs. And when 93 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: you do it for the first time after having a break, 94 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: you normally sit back in your chair and you can't 95 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: get up because mentally you're absolutely naked. So it does 96 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: wear on and there's nothing like being a good form 97 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: and we've been pretty lucky in the past with Brendan 98 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: McCallum and then came Williams and two players who perform brilliantly. 99 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: But it's not an easy job without a doub especially 100 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: Test cricket, because it wears you out and it's tiring. 101 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: And Tom Lincoln's got the heat in the sun and 102 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: the crowd so it's a big text. But you'll hand 103 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: he'll be fine. 104 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: No good stuff. Hey Craig, it's always good to talk 105 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: to you.
