00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,387
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Fyne

2
00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:13,387
Speaker 1: from newstalk zed B speaking.

3
00:00:13,027 --> 00:00:16,107
Speaker 2: Of astonishing staff remarkable game of TA twenty cricket yesterday

4
00:00:16,427 --> 00:00:20,307
Speaker 2: between Auckland and Canterbury at Eden Park's Outer Oval. Auckland

5
00:00:20,347 --> 00:00:23,067
Speaker 2: batted first and made one hundred and eighty five for

6
00:00:23,187 --> 00:00:26,667
Speaker 2: eight from their twenty overs. Martin gupdel sixty of thirty

7
00:00:26,707 --> 00:00:30,547
Speaker 2: five balls and Bevin Jacobs fifty three off thirty three.

8
00:00:30,627 --> 00:00:34,587
Speaker 2: Now Canterbury in reply, cruising one hundred and sixty three

9
00:00:34,667 --> 00:00:38,827
Speaker 2: for four after seventeen overs, but then lost their last

10
00:00:38,867 --> 00:00:43,267
Speaker 2: six wickets for nine runs in the space of fourteen deliveries,

11
00:00:43,787 --> 00:00:47,027
Speaker 2: Auckland running out winners by thirteen runs. And amongst the

12
00:00:47,107 --> 00:00:52,827
Speaker 2: collapse was an absolutely superb boundary catch from Bevan Jacobs

13
00:00:53,147 --> 00:00:57,827
Speaker 2: to get rid of Henry Shipley, whacked. Has he got

14
00:00:57,907 --> 00:01:00,667
Speaker 2: enough four catch?

15
00:01:00,867 --> 00:01:04,467
Speaker 3: Beja Jacobs takes us screamer.

16
00:01:06,547 --> 00:01:11,107
Speaker 4: So good, absolute screamer running round to us right, a

17
00:01:11,187 --> 00:01:13,467
Speaker 4: lot of work to do and he just throws out

18
00:01:13,507 --> 00:01:17,627
Speaker 4: in the right hand and it sticks inches, separating him

19
00:01:17,667 --> 00:01:21,427
Speaker 4: in the boundary rope. You will not see many better

20
00:01:21,587 --> 00:01:24,467
Speaker 4: boundary catches than that, and he is pumped up about

21
00:01:24,467 --> 00:01:24,827
Speaker 4: it too.

22
00:01:24,987 --> 00:01:27,067
Speaker 2: He would be, wouldn't you Bevan Jacobs is with us

23
00:01:27,107 --> 00:01:29,547
Speaker 2: some congrats on the win yesterday made and that catch

24
00:01:29,547 --> 00:01:31,507
Speaker 2: and the part that you played with the bat as well.

25
00:01:31,667 --> 00:01:34,387
Speaker 2: Actually can we start with can we start with that catch?

26
00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:35,387
Speaker 2: Can you talk us through it?

27
00:01:36,627 --> 00:01:37,267
Speaker 5: Thanks? Jason?

28
00:01:38,187 --> 00:01:39,587
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that catch was you know, it was

29
00:01:39,667 --> 00:01:41,667
Speaker 3: looking to be able to take that to the boy's

30
00:01:41,707 --> 00:01:44,747
Speaker 3: just under the situation that we're in. But you know,

31
00:01:44,947 --> 00:01:46,907
Speaker 3: I guess that's that's what I'm trained for, and you know,

32
00:01:46,947 --> 00:01:48,627
Speaker 3: I was just happy that I could pull it off.

33
00:01:49,307 --> 00:01:52,907
Speaker 2: As you were sprinting around the boundary, what is going

34
00:01:52,947 --> 00:01:55,067
Speaker 2: through you mind? Are you just thinking, actually I need

35
00:01:55,107 --> 00:01:57,507
Speaker 2: to stop this going for four? Or was the catch

36
00:01:57,627 --> 00:01:58,227
Speaker 2: always on?

37
00:01:59,067 --> 00:02:01,427
Speaker 5: I think I think in that situation when you know

38
00:02:01,467 --> 00:02:02,347
Speaker 5: the team needs.

39
00:02:02,147 --> 00:02:04,707
Speaker 3: The wickets, because as you said Cannbury, the run wasn't

40
00:02:04,707 --> 00:02:06,947
Speaker 3: the issue for them there, so team need the wickets,

41
00:02:06,947 --> 00:02:08,307
Speaker 3: I think you always got to go for the catch

42
00:02:08,347 --> 00:02:10,627
Speaker 3: and then you can you know, you can look this

43
00:02:10,707 --> 00:02:13,427
Speaker 3: out if you if you don't go, if you don't

44
00:02:13,787 --> 00:02:15,627
Speaker 3: take it, you know, as long as you've tried to

45
00:02:15,667 --> 00:02:17,587
Speaker 3: go for it when the team needs it, have.

46
00:02:17,667 --> 00:02:19,147
Speaker 2: You if you caught that with one hand. Has that

47
00:02:19,187 --> 00:02:22,587
Speaker 2: gone into your right hand only a bit of both?

48
00:02:22,627 --> 00:02:24,787
Speaker 3: I think I think, you know, I can't lie. I

49
00:02:24,787 --> 00:02:26,787
Speaker 3: didn't think it was quite you know, the full one hand,

50
00:02:26,947 --> 00:02:30,747
Speaker 3: but that left hand definitely did did help me keep

51
00:02:30,787 --> 00:02:32,107
Speaker 3: it in my hands, that's for sure.

52
00:02:32,267 --> 00:02:34,427
Speaker 2: Brilliant. Well, they need what they need, they needed twenty

53
00:02:34,427 --> 00:02:37,267
Speaker 2: three or three overs, six wickets in hand. It kind

54
00:02:37,267 --> 00:02:39,307
Speaker 2: of cruising that there it's in hand for them. Right.

55
00:02:39,347 --> 00:02:40,827
Speaker 2: Did you think it might not be your day or

56
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:43,107
Speaker 2: did you always think there was you know, another chapter

57
00:02:43,187 --> 00:02:43,707
Speaker 2: to be written.

58
00:02:44,587 --> 00:02:47,307
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I mean in that situation, Candery obviously has

59
00:02:47,307 --> 00:02:49,587
Speaker 3: the upper hand. But you know, cricket the funny game,

60
00:02:49,667 --> 00:02:53,227
Speaker 3: and every time you're chasing, no matter how easy it seems,

61
00:02:53,267 --> 00:02:55,427
Speaker 3: you know, it can definitely turn any quickly. And I

62
00:02:55,427 --> 00:02:57,947
Speaker 3: think the boys just put on an excellent buying performance,

63
00:02:57,987 --> 00:03:00,627
Speaker 3: you know, Jocket done at the end taking three apiece

64
00:03:00,667 --> 00:03:02,707
Speaker 3: and especially done to three and one over. You know,

65
00:03:02,827 --> 00:03:05,467
Speaker 3: so beatpops to them for you know, staying the course.

66
00:03:05,507 --> 00:03:07,587
Speaker 3: And I guess it was just a big thing for

67
00:03:07,667 --> 00:03:09,267
Speaker 3: us in the acees but was just you know, not

68
00:03:10,067 --> 00:03:11,827
Speaker 3: to think the game's over till it's over, so, you know,

69
00:03:11,867 --> 00:03:12,667
Speaker 3: big box to them.

70
00:03:13,267 --> 00:03:14,067
Speaker 5: For getting that done.

71
00:03:14,187 --> 00:03:16,227
Speaker 2: And do you get confidence in the game of T

72
00:03:16,227 --> 00:03:18,747
Speaker 2: twenty cricket when I hear this so often? You know,

73
00:03:18,827 --> 00:03:21,307
Speaker 2: the game can change in the space of just a

74
00:03:21,307 --> 00:03:24,067
Speaker 2: few deliveries with bat or ball. So do you actually

75
00:03:24,107 --> 00:03:26,507
Speaker 2: always feel as though are games live right until the end?

76
00:03:27,227 --> 00:03:28,147
Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent.

77
00:03:28,187 --> 00:03:31,947
Speaker 3: You know, it only tacks one over or one a

78
00:03:31,947 --> 00:03:34,707
Speaker 3: piece of fielding or bowling or whatever it is, you know,

79
00:03:35,547 --> 00:03:37,027
Speaker 3: to then put the momentum back.

80
00:03:36,907 --> 00:03:38,547
Speaker 5: In your side. And I think that's you know, that's

81
00:03:38,587 --> 00:03:40,307
Speaker 5: what happened. And the boards were really.

82
00:03:40,147 --> 00:03:42,467
Speaker 3: Good at just compiling it and you know, going from

83
00:03:42,467 --> 00:03:44,707
Speaker 3: one into the next, and you know it led us

84
00:03:44,747 --> 00:03:47,067
Speaker 3: to a pretty special win.

85
00:03:47,427 --> 00:03:50,107
Speaker 2: So let's go back to your batting innings. You guys

86
00:03:50,107 --> 00:03:51,747
Speaker 2: for fifty three without loss, and then all of a

87
00:03:51,747 --> 00:03:53,587
Speaker 2: sudden you're fifty six for three. When you come out

88
00:03:53,667 --> 00:03:57,267
Speaker 2: to join Martin Guptel, you put together fifty nine and

89
00:03:57,347 --> 00:03:59,547
Speaker 2: less than six overs. He's been around for a while,

90
00:03:59,587 --> 00:04:01,467
Speaker 2: hasn't he, Martin Guptell. How much do you enjoy batting

91
00:04:01,507 --> 00:04:01,827
Speaker 2: with him?

92
00:04:02,587 --> 00:04:02,787
Speaker 5: Yeah?

93
00:04:02,867 --> 00:04:04,627
Speaker 3: It's pretty special, you know, to be able to share

94
00:04:04,667 --> 00:04:06,707
Speaker 3: the crease with the legend of the game like that.

95
00:04:06,787 --> 00:04:08,667
Speaker 5: I mean there's a lot of wisdom that you can.

96
00:04:09,027 --> 00:04:11,107
Speaker 3: You can share, you can share with you when you're

97
00:04:11,107 --> 00:04:13,147
Speaker 3: out in the middle and just having those conversations with them,

98
00:04:13,387 --> 00:04:15,987
Speaker 3: figuring out a plan, you know, having a small little

99
00:04:15,987 --> 00:04:18,747
Speaker 3: accumulation phase and then really trying to put the foot

100
00:04:18,747 --> 00:04:20,787
Speaker 3: down and the pressure app on Canbury. So it's really

101
00:04:20,907 --> 00:04:22,387
Speaker 3: nice to have him in the group and have that

102
00:04:22,467 --> 00:04:26,307
Speaker 3: experience kind of kind of guide you in those precious situations.

103
00:04:26,827 --> 00:04:30,507
Speaker 2: And your numbers, as I say, fifty three off, thirty three, one,

104
00:04:30,627 --> 00:04:34,307
Speaker 2: four and five sixes, but all around the place, long

105
00:04:34,347 --> 00:04:37,067
Speaker 2: on mid wicket, long off overcover. How much do you

106
00:04:37,107 --> 00:04:39,347
Speaker 2: work on being able to play three hundred and sixty

107
00:04:39,347 --> 00:04:40,907
Speaker 2: degrees in T twenty cricket?

108
00:04:41,507 --> 00:04:45,107
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's it's it's obviously important to be

109
00:04:45,107 --> 00:04:46,667
Speaker 3: able to hit more than one area at the ground,

110
00:04:46,707 --> 00:04:48,707
Speaker 3: But I think when you break it down to put

111
00:04:48,707 --> 00:04:50,627
Speaker 3: it real simply, it's just about making sure you've got

112
00:04:50,627 --> 00:04:52,787
Speaker 3: a clear plane and then just just reacting to the

113
00:04:52,827 --> 00:04:55,387
Speaker 3: ball that's coming down and you know, backing that your

114
00:04:55,387 --> 00:04:58,627
Speaker 3: skills are going to get you to the right place.

115
00:04:58,707 --> 00:05:03,307
Speaker 3: You know, Like I wouldn't necessarily say it's about training.

116
00:05:02,947 --> 00:05:04,427
Speaker 5: Three sixty all the time.

117
00:05:04,467 --> 00:05:07,707
Speaker 3: It's just more about you know, working hard, practicing his

118
00:05:07,787 --> 00:05:10,507
Speaker 3: skill and you know, letting your stuff react in the moment.

119
00:05:10,787 --> 00:05:12,187
Speaker 2: How much of you how much of what you do

120
00:05:12,267 --> 00:05:13,187
Speaker 2: is premeditated.

121
00:05:15,107 --> 00:05:18,347
Speaker 5: Sometimes it's it's more game scenario and field set.

122
00:05:18,387 --> 00:05:22,227
Speaker 3: Obviously with five out, you know there's there's there's not

123
00:05:22,307 --> 00:05:25,307
Speaker 3: too many gaps all the time for towards the boundary.

124
00:05:25,347 --> 00:05:27,987
Speaker 5: But I guess that's what that reaction piece comes in.

125
00:05:28,067 --> 00:05:30,547
Speaker 3: And you could obviously target a certain zone based on

126
00:05:30,587 --> 00:05:33,067
Speaker 3: how someone's bowling if if you feel like it's a

127
00:05:33,107 --> 00:05:35,227
Speaker 3: good match up. But then again, I think it comes

128
00:05:35,547 --> 00:05:37,827
Speaker 3: back down to reaction and then if you're going to

129
00:05:37,867 --> 00:05:39,267
Speaker 3: take it on, you know that you're going to take

130
00:05:39,267 --> 00:05:41,187
Speaker 3: it on with one hundred percent and hopefully it clears

131
00:05:41,227 --> 00:05:41,467
Speaker 3: the right.

132
00:05:41,747 --> 00:05:44,267
Speaker 2: And now what about Eddie Asholtz reverse ramp for six

133
00:05:44,267 --> 00:05:46,507
Speaker 2: at the end? Has he been retelling that story?

134
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:48,747
Speaker 3: I bet he will be, so I haven't talked to

135
00:05:48,827 --> 00:05:51,787
Speaker 3: him much about He's a talented he's a talented player

136
00:05:51,867 --> 00:05:54,507
Speaker 3: and he's been working hard on those on those shots,

137
00:05:54,547 --> 00:05:56,387
Speaker 3: so it's good to see him bring it out in

138
00:05:56,387 --> 00:05:56,707
Speaker 3: the game.

139
00:05:57,267 --> 00:06:01,187
Speaker 2: And while you were fielding a nasty collision at one point,

140
00:06:01,587 --> 00:06:05,627
Speaker 2: Ben Lister and Sides Dixon were involved. Are they okay?

141
00:06:05,667 --> 00:06:08,387
Speaker 2: Relatively okay to your knowledge.

142
00:06:08,747 --> 00:06:10,187
Speaker 5: Yeah, relatively okay. I don't think.

143
00:06:10,227 --> 00:06:13,867
Speaker 3: I haven't had any confirmed clear comms on what the situation,

144
00:06:13,987 --> 00:06:17,667
Speaker 3: as I noticed, went sort of X ray and sided

145
00:06:17,747 --> 00:06:22,347
Speaker 3: lest I think hopefully not out for too long, maybe

146
00:06:22,387 --> 00:06:25,027
Speaker 3: maybe a couple of weeks worst case scenario, But I

147
00:06:25,067 --> 00:06:27,467
Speaker 3: don't have any any hard confirmation on that.

148
00:06:27,547 --> 00:06:30,267
Speaker 5: So yeah, we'll keep that fingers cross all good.

149
00:06:30,347 --> 00:06:32,787
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.

150
00:06:32,827 --> 00:06:35,147
Speaker 2: As far as you're concerned. You came through the Auckland

151
00:06:35,187 --> 00:06:37,907
Speaker 2: pathway system down to Canterbury, of course, where you played

152
00:06:37,947 --> 00:06:40,907
Speaker 2: last season. What was behind the return to Walkland the summer.

153
00:06:42,707 --> 00:06:44,387
Speaker 3: There are a lot of factors, but at the end

154
00:06:44,387 --> 00:06:47,267
Speaker 3: of the days of a cricket decision, you know, I

155
00:06:47,307 --> 00:06:50,947
Speaker 3: just felt that, you know, Canterbury obviously, when they had

156
00:06:50,947 --> 00:06:53,667
Speaker 3: their black Cats back quite a strong side, might have

157
00:06:53,667 --> 00:06:56,147
Speaker 3: been tough for me to play as much cricket as

158
00:06:56,187 --> 00:06:58,467
Speaker 3: I potentially could in awkward and it was that was

159
00:06:58,587 --> 00:07:01,867
Speaker 3: mainly the driving factor. And obviously it's good to be

160
00:07:02,187 --> 00:07:04,507
Speaker 3: to be back home family and stuff as a bonus

161
00:07:04,547 --> 00:07:05,907
Speaker 3: as well, and I grew up playing with a lot

162
00:07:05,947 --> 00:07:08,387
Speaker 3: of the boys in Awkland, so the transition was a

163
00:07:08,427 --> 00:07:09,627
Speaker 3: smooth one. But at the end of the day, it

164
00:07:09,667 --> 00:07:11,627
Speaker 3: was more just just a cricketing decision.

165
00:07:11,907 --> 00:07:14,147
Speaker 2: And did it help yesterday knowing a few of the

166
00:07:14,147 --> 00:07:16,427
Speaker 2: guys who were bowling at you from having been alongside

167
00:07:16,467 --> 00:07:17,107
Speaker 2: them last summer?

168
00:07:17,987 --> 00:07:20,467
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess. You know, it goes both ways. I

169
00:07:20,507 --> 00:07:22,747
Speaker 3: know them, but they know me too. But it's always

170
00:07:22,747 --> 00:07:25,707
Speaker 3: a good contest against them out there, and yeah, it's

171
00:07:25,787 --> 00:07:27,787
Speaker 3: just awesome to see both teams put on a good

172
00:07:27,827 --> 00:07:30,027
Speaker 3: display and something from the crowd to watch.

173
00:07:30,227 --> 00:07:32,467
Speaker 2: Of course, over the last week you had, well you

174
00:07:32,507 --> 00:07:35,347
Speaker 2: had the last week in the black Caps environment, despite

175
00:07:35,387 --> 00:07:38,107
Speaker 2: not getting a game, did you take some benefits from

176
00:07:38,187 --> 00:07:39,467
Speaker 2: the experience.

177
00:07:39,507 --> 00:07:40,427
Speaker 5: Yes, one hundred percent.

178
00:07:40,547 --> 00:07:42,867
Speaker 3: I mean, those are some world class players, and just

179
00:07:42,907 --> 00:07:45,067
Speaker 3: to be able to talk to them and listen to

180
00:07:45,107 --> 00:07:48,787
Speaker 3: their experiences and try and implement what they've learned into

181
00:07:48,827 --> 00:07:50,867
Speaker 3: my own game, I think it's pretty special. And just

182
00:07:50,867 --> 00:07:53,867
Speaker 3: being around that, getting a taste for that environment makes

183
00:07:53,867 --> 00:07:55,907
Speaker 3: me hungry to get back there. So hopefully I can

184
00:07:56,427 --> 00:07:58,867
Speaker 3: keep putting scores on the board and working hard and

185
00:07:58,947 --> 00:08:00,547
Speaker 3: you know, get back there when I can do.

186
00:08:00,467 --> 00:08:01,667
Speaker 2: You think you might have gotten a game.

187
00:08:03,467 --> 00:08:05,747
Speaker 3: I don't think it's impossible, you know, it's just but

188
00:08:05,827 --> 00:08:08,787
Speaker 3: the way the cards filed, you know, sometimes you don't.

189
00:08:08,627 --> 00:08:09,747
Speaker 5: Get the opportunity.

190
00:08:09,787 --> 00:08:11,867
Speaker 3: But that's all good, you know, It's just how it

191
00:08:11,867 --> 00:08:13,787
Speaker 3: works sometimes. But it's just awesome to be around the

192
00:08:13,947 --> 00:08:15,867
Speaker 3: around that group and get a taste for it.

193
00:08:15,947 --> 00:08:17,627
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, as you say it, so weet your appetite

194
00:08:17,627 --> 00:08:19,907
Speaker 2: and got you're hungry for. I'm sure the opportunity will

195
00:08:19,907 --> 00:08:21,747
Speaker 2: come again soon. And of course you're off to the

196
00:08:21,747 --> 00:08:24,827
Speaker 2: IPL too with the Mumbai Indians. The story's being told

197
00:08:24,867 --> 00:08:27,507
Speaker 2: a bit, but can you catch us up? How did

198
00:08:27,547 --> 00:08:28,107
Speaker 2: it all happen?

199
00:08:30,667 --> 00:08:34,427
Speaker 3: Where I start put my name in the auction very late?

200
00:08:35,627 --> 00:08:38,387
Speaker 3: Woke up at five point thirty two un call from

201
00:08:38,427 --> 00:08:40,667
Speaker 3: a coven South Africa saying I got picked. I didn't

202
00:08:40,667 --> 00:08:42,347
Speaker 3: believe them at first, and then I got about a

203
00:08:42,427 --> 00:08:44,587
Speaker 3: million other messages and checked social.

204
00:08:44,347 --> 00:08:47,827
Speaker 5: Media and there it was. So but yeah, that was

205
00:08:47,827 --> 00:08:48,427
Speaker 5: pretty epic.

206
00:08:48,427 --> 00:08:50,747
Speaker 3: And then yeah, I got the call up into the

207
00:08:50,787 --> 00:08:53,747
Speaker 3: international squad not too long after. So it's been a

208
00:08:53,747 --> 00:08:57,507
Speaker 3: bit of a heck a few weeks, but all good

209
00:08:57,507 --> 00:08:59,067
Speaker 3: news obviously. But now it so, I guess it's just

210
00:08:59,067 --> 00:09:01,467
Speaker 3: about you know, coming back to coming back to the

211
00:09:01,507 --> 00:09:04,667
Speaker 3: present and just focusing on how I can do the

212
00:09:04,667 --> 00:09:06,107
Speaker 3: best I can for Awkland.

213
00:09:06,347 --> 00:09:08,027
Speaker 2: Well, the fact that you went to bed rather than

214
00:09:08,067 --> 00:09:09,627
Speaker 2: sort of you know, stayed up and kept an eye

215
00:09:09,667 --> 00:09:12,827
Speaker 2: on the auction would suggest that you weren't supremely confident

216
00:09:12,867 --> 00:09:15,347
Speaker 2: of being picked up. So was it actually a surprise

217
00:09:15,387 --> 00:09:17,627
Speaker 2: when you got the call from your your South African

218
00:09:17,667 --> 00:09:19,347
Speaker 2: cousin and then all the messages started flying in and

219
00:09:19,387 --> 00:09:21,787
Speaker 2: you realized, actually, this is true. I have been picked up.

220
00:09:22,307 --> 00:09:23,467
Speaker 5: There was a heck of a surprise.

221
00:09:23,507 --> 00:09:25,827
Speaker 3: I mean they're training early the next day and I

222
00:09:25,827 --> 00:09:27,907
Speaker 3: thought I should get my rest, so, you know, because

223
00:09:27,947 --> 00:09:30,027
Speaker 3: day one of the auction has already been complete sales

224
00:09:30,027 --> 00:09:34,067
Speaker 3: that are probably not the biggest chance. But I've got training,

225
00:09:34,067 --> 00:09:35,627
Speaker 3: so I got a head to bed and then I

226
00:09:35,667 --> 00:09:37,587
Speaker 3: got working up by that at five thirty.

227
00:09:37,707 --> 00:09:39,427
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely a huge surprise.

228
00:09:39,667 --> 00:09:41,867
Speaker 2: Brilliant stuff. No, what an exciting time for you, mate. Well,

229
00:09:42,027 --> 00:09:43,627
Speaker 2: before you can even look at that, you got the

230
00:09:43,667 --> 00:09:46,187
Speaker 2: white ball or the remainder of the white ball season

231
00:09:46,467 --> 00:09:49,107
Speaker 2: with Auckland. Congrats on a terrific performance from you and

232
00:09:49,147 --> 00:09:51,147
Speaker 2: the team yesterday, mate, and thanks for taking the time

233
00:09:51,147 --> 00:09:51,827
Speaker 2: for it yet today.

234
00:09:52,347 --> 00:09:54,027
Speaker 5: Thanks Jason, appreciate your time now.

235
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:57,627
Speaker 2: I appreciate your Spevin. Thanks. Indeed, Bevin Jacob's there a

236
00:09:57,707 --> 00:10:00,147
Speaker 2: name to look out for. I thought they might give

237
00:10:00,187 --> 00:10:01,907
Speaker 2: them a game in the T twenties, you know, they

238
00:10:01,947 --> 00:10:04,747
Speaker 2: were two up going to Nelson. I get that you

239
00:10:04,787 --> 00:10:07,787
Speaker 2: want to reward performance, and that's what Whichill Satan has said. Yeah,

240
00:10:07,787 --> 00:10:10,907
Speaker 2: but Bevan Jacobs was in that squad and neither he

241
00:10:11,027 --> 00:10:14,307
Speaker 2: or Nathan Smith got a game in the T twenties.

242
00:10:14,467 --> 00:10:16,187
Speaker 2: Nathan Smith at least stays in the squad for the

243
00:10:16,227 --> 00:10:19,187
Speaker 2: fifty over stuff, and I would hope to see him

244
00:10:19,227 --> 00:10:22,147
Speaker 2: at least in one of the games to come, either

245
00:10:22,187 --> 00:10:23,907
Speaker 2: tomorrow in Wellington, and that'd be a good place to

246
00:10:23,907 --> 00:10:27,227
Speaker 2: play actually in his home home ground in Hamilton and Auckland.

247
00:10:27,467 --> 00:10:29,707
Speaker 2: I think it'd be pretty tough on Nathan Smith if

248
00:10:29,707 --> 00:10:31,467
Speaker 2: he's with the team for the T twenty and one

249
00:10:31,547 --> 00:10:35,747
Speaker 2: day series and doesn't get a game across six. But yeah,

250
00:10:35,747 --> 00:10:38,107
Speaker 2: Bevan Jacobs, I would like to see him have a

251
00:10:38,147 --> 00:10:40,947
Speaker 2: crack for New Zealand. I don't think that'll be too

252
00:10:40,947 --> 00:10:43,947
Speaker 2: far away. Watching him back yesterday and I'm mentioning it

253
00:10:43,947 --> 00:10:46,627
Speaker 2: to him there he's got a range of shots. Man.

254
00:10:47,467 --> 00:10:50,267
Speaker 2: He was driving, you know, down the ground, he was

255
00:10:50,347 --> 00:10:53,387
Speaker 2: going over cover for six. He obviously has got the

256
00:10:53,787 --> 00:10:56,667
Speaker 2: natural swing of a right right hander and he's down

257
00:10:56,707 --> 00:10:59,667
Speaker 2: the ground and over midwicket, but he's scoring all around

258
00:10:59,707 --> 00:11:02,747
Speaker 2: the ground in a terrific fielder as well. If you

259
00:11:02,787 --> 00:11:05,067
Speaker 2: haven't seen that catch, just have a look at that.

260
00:11:05,947 --> 00:11:10,627
Speaker 2: Find it online Someway. Just type in Jacob's catch. I'm

261
00:11:10,627 --> 00:11:13,467
Speaker 2: sure it will pop up there for you. Really really

262
00:11:13,467 --> 00:11:14,227
Speaker 2: good stuff from her.
