1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,519 Speaker 1: Markham morning, Good morning, Luke. Did you get up early 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: for the cricket No. 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 2: And I'm quite pleased I didn't. I have been pouring 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 2: over the results and obviously a very disappointing result. But 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 2: are we really surprised? India on the big stages tend 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 2: to produce performances that are out of the box, and 7 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 2: they've produced another one and effectively taken us out of 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: the match by the time we got to halftime and. 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: Before we picked up the bat. It was an absolute 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: masterclass from them. 11 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. And you know, there will be a 12 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: lot of disappointed people today and rightly so. You know, 13 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 2: we've had another chance to win a World Cup title. 14 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: But when you break it all down at the end 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: of the day, the number of people that play cricket 16 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 2: in New Zealand's compared to the number of people that 17 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 2: play cricket in India and the resources that are available 18 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: to them through the Indian Cricket Board, we should still 19 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: be mightily proud that we made our way into another 20 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 2: World Cup final because this Black Cats team continue to 21 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 2: punch above their weight. They really really do. 22 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, big time. No, I like how you put that, mate, 23 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: And yeah, disappointed and tired fans into today. All the 24 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: strengths and Catheene be with you. It's been extra punishing weekend. 25 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: If you're also a Crusaders fan. 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: Yes it has. I'm going to dub them the new Warriors. 27 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: Wow, you can. 28 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: Feast and then famine in the space of seven days. 29 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: It is a little bit like it has been watching 30 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: the Warriors at times. But boy they were hopeful on 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: Saturday night. The Crusaders absolutely woeful defensively. There was just 32 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: no structure, particularly out well. Caleb Clark made shay Fehuckey 33 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 2: look like a bit of a under five rugby player 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: there a couple of times and that didn't help. And 35 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: then you bring it a bit of ill discipline. Rugby 36 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: is a pretty simple game when you break it down, 37 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: and the Crusaders were failing on a number of points. 38 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: There's got a lot of work to do. Look, a 39 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: lot of work to do and a lot of improvement. 40 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: And I see a lot of comments over the weekend 41 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: that will be right because Will Jordan's is coming back. 42 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: Well yeah, yeah, one player is not going to make 43 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: a huge difference of the other fourteen aren't deeping up 44 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: and doing what they need to be doing. That said, 45 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: I thought the mckennbury lad Dallas Cloud played pretty well 46 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: when he coming off the bench for the second half. 47 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: He ran direct, he tackled hard, and yeah, he sort 48 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: of secured or tightened up things in defense away but 49 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: there in the midfield, which was good. 50 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: Shame we're losing him. We sat down for an extended chat. 51 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: You can listen back to that podcast episode with Dallas 52 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: McCloud on our iHeartRadio stream as a sneaky we plug there. 53 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: Well on the Warriors. Then impressive start to there season 54 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: forty to eighteen via the Roosters up in Auckland. The 55 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: home crowd will lapping that up. 56 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 57 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well we did mention it. 58 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. You know how I talked about one week does 59 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: not make a season, Well, I think it does. No, 60 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 2: it was a very good It's how you want to 61 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 2: start a season. You know, there's plenty of things there 62 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: to work on, but there's plenty of exciting factors that 63 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: we saw at play as well, and here they will 64 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: take a lot of confidence out of getting those points 65 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: on the board. The Roosters, however, yeah, I don't know 66 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 2: how far they'll go this season. They've got a few 67 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: issues going on, I believe, but yeah, no, excellent to 68 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: see the Warriors get a w in the first game, 69 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: first game of the season.
