It was like such 17 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 3: a long time coming, This was so fabulous and they're 18 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 3: missing all those catches and. 19 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 5: Losing by so much. I was like, what are they doing? 20 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,279 Speaker 3: I want to celebrate you, be happy for you. So 21 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,559 Speaker 3: at the moment, I'm feeling quite confident about the cricket, 22 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 3: feeling good and they're redeeming themselves, showing atonement to the 23 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 3: fans that love them so much and adored them after 24 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: defeats against India. 25 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 5: Is it good? 26 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 4: Is cricket just one of those games where it is 27 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 4: inconsistently you could be great and then you're just hit 28 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 4: the next week. 29 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, It's why I love and hate the game 30 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 2: in fact. So no, you're absolutely right. I'm actually I'm 31 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 2: feeling uneasy about the Black Cats at the moment. I'm 32 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 2: pleased that they started taking catches here in this test 33 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: and the second test. I'm always reluctant to criticize people 34 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: who can't catch because I had hands like a salmon 35 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 2: when I was playing the game. I'm surprised even called 36 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 2: COVID that sort of thing. But yeah, they weren't great 37 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: in the field down in christ. It's so great seeing 38 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: improvement this time around. But look, even allowing England to 39 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: get two hundred and eighty runs, I felt like we 40 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 2: could have got them out for cheaper and it feels 41 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 2: like this top order is hanging on. And by the way, 42 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 2: did I hear you say sexy Russian before? 43 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 5: Yep? Absolutely? 44 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: How do you get away with that woman? 45 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 5: They're all different? Come on this show. Sorry, sorry, Gordy. 46 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 4: This show is all about honesty and let's be honest 47 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 4: about it. Girls can say things that boys cannot say, 48 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 4: and so I say, I absolutely abuse it is that 49 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 4: okay with you? 50 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 2: And so you should and so you should know absolutely fine. 51 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 4: You want a man who's got glorious hair and that 52 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 4: and that's just and we're only talking about the absolute 53 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 4: top of his head, like when you start working your 54 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 4: way down the body. 55 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 5: It's just fantastic, the whole way down. Listen, Levina. I 56 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 5: don't want to make you feel uncomfortable about that. You 57 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 5: probably do not. You're probably sitting there going it's not okay, Heather. 58 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 3: Now, I think it's got a Tahua mark away lovely 59 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: hair as well gorgeous. 60 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 5: I mean, jeez, what I would do for those curls. Anyway. 61 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 4: How do you feel about one of the things that's 62 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 4: come up is that that there's been these fines handed 63 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 4: out and docking of points for the fact that they've 64 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 4: been bowling slow overs right? 65 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 5: How do you feel about that? 66 00:02:59,200 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 4: Is that? 67 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 5: Actually? Is that really we want the game to go? 68 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 5: It's interesting, isn't it. 69 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of people that I love cricket, 70 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: and my favorite form of cricket is test cricket. I really, 71 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 3: really love the five day version of the match and 72 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 3: I appreciate it, but lots of cricket fans that are 73 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 3: coming new to the game are turning to the other 74 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 3: versions of the sport, and I guess if you want 75 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 3: to keep the appreciation for the sport, you need to 76 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 3: make sure that there is a time limit. And I 77 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: appreciate the fact that you know you need to actually 78 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: get these overs done and dusted. The thing that I 79 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 3: found ironic is that it was David Boone, who's the 80 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: head referee, that decided to say that those penalties would 81 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 3: be implemented. And I've watched a lot of cricket with 82 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: mister Boone over the years, and the fastest thing he 83 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 3: ever did was head to the pavilion. 84 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: So I thought that was. 85 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 5: Quite ironic in that terms. But I'm okay with it. 86 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: You've got to Bolo's ninety eighty five ninety overs and 87 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 3: it has to be within a time limit. But I 88 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 3: know that I know the game is still entertaining Andrew, 89 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 3: it really is, but to keep the fans, especially new 90 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: fans that are appreciated adding test cricket, it has to 91 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: be done through a certain period of time. 92 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: Good I think there's a really sensible approach here. I 93 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: think the sensible answer here is that slow over eight 94 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: fines and penalties are only enforced if the matching's in 95 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: a draw after five days. But we had a result 96 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: in this match. There were still ten hours of play 97 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: to go. So I totally understand why this rule is 98 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: in place and why it should be enforced, And I 99 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 2: totally echo your sentiments about speeding up the game and 100 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: making it a great product for people to watch. But 101 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 2: if there's a result, the whole reason for it is 102 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 2: null and boards. So I'd like to see those penalties 103 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: and fines only inflicted if we go five days and 104 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: it's a draw. 105 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 4: Yep, as I think that's basically the Ben Stokes argument. 106 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 4: Seems like a fair argument. 107 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: Of the Friday Sports Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's international realty, 108 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: elevate the marketing of your home. 109 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 4: I'm the sports title we got Andrew Gordy and Levina 110 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 4: Good Gordy. Listen France canning the ABS game in the 111 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 4: US saying everything has to be played in then zet 112 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 4: Is it a fair call? Ah? 113 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: Look, is it a fair call? I can understand they 114 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: clearly didn't want to do it, and so they've played 115 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 2: the absolute trump card, which is player welfare. No one 116 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: can ever argue with player welfare, and neither they probably should, 117 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: but I think it's a convenient excuse because they simply 118 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: don't want to do it. And look, the triple aspect 119 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: is kind of fear they are going over multiple time zones. 120 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 2: But I personally like this idea, and not least because 121 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 2: France have made it clear that they want to send 122 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 2: a second string team out here. And if you're going 123 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: to treat it as some kind of exhibition, well we 124 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 2: may as well make an exhibition out of it and 125 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: play it over in the US. But let me tell you, 126 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: international rugby is going to get pretty damn boring if 127 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: every touring team decides to send a B team every 128 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: time they travel somewhere. So that needs to change. 129 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 4: I'm so dark on the French Levina that I just 130 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 4: every time I say, I just want to pose. 131 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: Me too, mate. 132 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 3: And the only reason they're saying no, Heather, is because 133 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 3: we actually want to do it, you know. Like Andrew mentioned, 134 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 3: they've already announced that they're going to send an underrated 135 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 3: average team next year. And I mean, I'm not even 136 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 3: really keen on the Abs playing in the States, but 137 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 3: it just front straits me that the French get to 138 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: call the shots. That's what annoys me more than anything. 139 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 3: And the only reason they're saying no, nothing to do 140 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 3: with player welfare. I appreciate them calling the card. It's 141 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 3: because the All Blacks want to do it. So on 142 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: the bright side, on the right side, we do get 143 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 3: another game here in New Zealand, which is kind of cool, 144 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: but it's just because we want to do it now frustrating. 145 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, what's up with it? 146 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 3: Why are they like this because we want to do 147 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 3: it and they've decided that it wasn't their idea in 148 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,239 Speaker 3: the first place, and they're meant to be touring New Zealand. 149 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 3: It's got nothing to do with player welfare because they're 150 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: sending an underrated team that it's because it was decided 151 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: by New Zealand Rugby and they're like, hey, vive la France, 152 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 3: we are French. We will be maybe arrogant aloud to 153 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 3: say that we can talk about hair, we can talk 154 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 3: about the French being oarage. 155 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 5: Come on, now, you've been to France the other day, 156 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,679 Speaker 5: living you know what they're like.
