It's obviously an honor and 59 00:03:08,827 --> 00:03:12,787 Speaker 4: a privilege, I guess to be given the opportunity to 60 00:03:13,187 --> 00:03:15,227 Speaker 4: lead the team as you said, of obviously done in 61 00:03:15,307 --> 00:03:19,427 Speaker 4: the past before, and I guess after you know, each tour, 62 00:03:19,467 --> 00:03:23,227 Speaker 4: each series, you know, things are evaluated with with where 63 00:03:23,307 --> 00:03:26,827 Speaker 4: things are at, and obviously the decision came to me 64 00:03:27,107 --> 00:03:30,827 Speaker 4: decided to step away from the role, and it's obviously 65 00:03:31,187 --> 00:03:33,387 Speaker 4: nice to be asked to do it and looking certainly 66 00:03:33,427 --> 00:03:34,467 Speaker 4: looking forward to the opportunity. 67 00:03:34,747 --> 00:03:36,547 Speaker 2: Did you know a change was in the win? 68 00:03:37,987 --> 00:03:40,747 Speaker 4: No, I didn't know. I guess, as I said, it's 69 00:03:40,787 --> 00:03:43,707 Speaker 4: one of those things that after each series and in 70 00:03:43,787 --> 00:03:48,187 Speaker 4: each tour you know, steady and evaluate things and where 71 00:03:48,267 --> 00:03:50,267 Speaker 4: things are at and all that sort of thing. And 72 00:03:50,307 --> 00:03:53,267 Speaker 4: obviously the decision was made and you know in the 73 00:03:53,307 --> 00:03:56,347 Speaker 4: position we are now, so yeah, obviously came as a 74 00:03:56,387 --> 00:03:59,587 Speaker 4: little bit of a surprise, but he obviously one obviously 75 00:03:59,627 --> 00:04:02,307 Speaker 4: looking forward to you you have all the different emotions 76 00:04:02,347 --> 00:04:04,987 Speaker 4: when when I guess when you get appointed with something 77 00:04:05,027 --> 00:04:07,427 Speaker 4: like that, and you certainly look forward to what's coming 78 00:04:07,467 --> 00:04:07,867 Speaker 4: up ahead. 79 00:04:08,187 --> 00:04:09,507 Speaker 2: Is there something you've aspired to? 80 00:04:12,747 --> 00:04:15,427 Speaker 4: As I said, I've done nine test matches in the 81 00:04:15,467 --> 00:04:19,867 Speaker 4: past and done you know, various one days and tea 82 00:04:19,907 --> 00:04:22,627 Speaker 4: twenties along the road, and I guess from my point 83 00:04:22,627 --> 00:04:25,827 Speaker 4: of view, it's always been a selling tight type role, 84 00:04:25,907 --> 00:04:28,347 Speaker 4: so this, I guess this opportunity is slightly different than 85 00:04:28,547 --> 00:04:31,067 Speaker 4: what have been used to and I think, to me, 86 00:04:31,147 --> 00:04:32,907 Speaker 4: it's about trying to push the team forward it as 87 00:04:32,987 --> 00:04:36,227 Speaker 4: much as I can, and yeah, sent me, I think 88 00:04:36,307 --> 00:04:38,027 Speaker 4: once you do it, once you get a little bit 89 00:04:38,027 --> 00:04:41,187 Speaker 4: of a bug for it. I think Matt's has always 90 00:04:41,267 --> 00:04:44,307 Speaker 4: been about trying to push the team forward and support 91 00:04:44,307 --> 00:04:45,827 Speaker 4: whoever's doing it at the time. You know where it 92 00:04:45,947 --> 00:04:48,867 Speaker 4: became or where it be teim. So yeah, it's obviously 93 00:04:48,947 --> 00:04:50,347 Speaker 4: nice to be in this position. 94 00:04:50,427 --> 00:04:50,547 Speaker 5: Now. 95 00:04:50,987 --> 00:04:53,187 Speaker 2: Did you want the job when came Williamson stepped down 96 00:04:53,227 --> 00:04:54,267 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. 97 00:04:56,227 --> 00:05:00,187 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was again a different situation and I'd decided 98 00:05:00,227 --> 00:05:03,307 Speaker 4: to go with Timmy. But in all honesty it's probably 99 00:05:03,347 --> 00:05:06,547 Speaker 4: worked out well in terms of the situation we are 100 00:05:06,547 --> 00:05:08,867 Speaker 4: in there, and I guess it's just about trying to 101 00:05:08,867 --> 00:05:13,427 Speaker 4: support again whoever whoever was the captain and certainly gave 102 00:05:13,467 --> 00:05:15,627 Speaker 4: my full support to me, you know, for the last 103 00:05:15,827 --> 00:05:19,387 Speaker 4: for the last two years. So yeah, again it wasn't 104 00:05:19,547 --> 00:05:21,467 Speaker 4: I was a little bit surprised at the time, but 105 00:05:21,707 --> 00:05:23,667 Speaker 4: I can certainly see the reasons why they. 106 00:05:23,587 --> 00:05:26,507 Speaker 2: Went to me and Obviously, tim has been a part 107 00:05:26,547 --> 00:05:28,027 Speaker 2: of this black cap set up for a long time, 108 00:05:28,147 --> 00:05:30,467 Speaker 2: as have you, and he will continue to be I'm 109 00:05:30,547 --> 00:05:35,627 Speaker 2: sure in Test cricket. Do you perceive any potential awkwardness 110 00:05:35,667 --> 00:05:37,427 Speaker 2: around the change of captaincy be thought about how that 111 00:05:37,507 --> 00:05:38,427 Speaker 2: might be negotiated. 112 00:05:39,467 --> 00:05:43,547 Speaker 4: Absolutely, no awkwardness at all. HAVE been in touch with 113 00:05:43,627 --> 00:05:47,587 Speaker 4: Timmy throughout the last few days and I just sort 114 00:05:47,587 --> 00:05:50,307 Speaker 4: of want to congratulate and him on the role that 115 00:05:50,587 --> 00:05:52,987 Speaker 4: he's done over the last two years. I think he's 116 00:05:53,147 --> 00:05:55,707 Speaker 4: a valued member of our team, a senior guy and 117 00:05:55,827 --> 00:05:59,627 Speaker 4: someone that has immense amount of experience, and I've certainly 118 00:05:59,747 --> 00:06:01,427 Speaker 4: enjoyed playing room and I know a lot of the 119 00:06:01,467 --> 00:06:05,067 Speaker 4: guys have as well. But there'll certainly be no awkingness 120 00:06:05,067 --> 00:06:07,387 Speaker 4: there at all. I know he's willing to to help 121 00:06:07,427 --> 00:06:09,467 Speaker 4: me and ultimately be leaning on him at times to 122 00:06:10,307 --> 00:06:12,387 Speaker 4: you for his experience in situations too. 123 00:06:12,947 --> 00:06:15,147 Speaker 2: So, as we've both mentioned, you've done the job previo 124 00:06:15,227 --> 00:06:18,467 Speaker 2: to day, but now it's your gig full time. How 125 00:06:18,547 --> 00:06:21,707 Speaker 2: will that change your approach to captaining the Test side? 126 00:06:23,147 --> 00:06:25,827 Speaker 4: Not sure at the stage, and I guess I guess 127 00:06:25,867 --> 00:06:28,027 Speaker 4: you always look at ways you want to you want 128 00:06:28,067 --> 00:06:30,547 Speaker 4: to push the team forward, whether it's you know, your 129 00:06:30,667 --> 00:06:33,907 Speaker 4: captain or not captain, but now being in the situation, 130 00:06:34,347 --> 00:06:36,827 Speaker 4: you have a little bit I guess more control. But 131 00:06:37,027 --> 00:06:39,507 Speaker 4: I think to me, it's about trying to empower guys 132 00:06:39,547 --> 00:06:42,827 Speaker 4: to do to do their roles as best can and 133 00:06:43,067 --> 00:06:45,627 Speaker 4: let them go that with freedom and and play their 134 00:06:45,707 --> 00:06:47,307 Speaker 4: roles as best they can, because I think when guys 135 00:06:47,347 --> 00:06:49,627 Speaker 4: do that, they play with freedom without fear. You know, 136 00:06:49,787 --> 00:06:53,627 Speaker 4: results tend to or I guess you play in a 137 00:06:53,667 --> 00:06:55,987 Speaker 4: way that you want to and results sort of take 138 00:06:56,027 --> 00:06:58,587 Speaker 4: care of himself along the road. But yeah, I think 139 00:06:58,627 --> 00:07:00,267 Speaker 4: to my point of your affording it and stuck in 140 00:07:01,107 --> 00:07:04,627 Speaker 4: against India, and again it's not a massive change. I've 141 00:07:04,627 --> 00:07:07,067 Speaker 4: done it before and guys know sort of parrotic, so 142 00:07:07,747 --> 00:07:09,147 Speaker 4: he will hopefully hit the ground running. 143 00:07:09,307 --> 00:07:12,147 Speaker 2: So you don't feel any need to stamp your mark 144 00:07:12,267 --> 00:07:15,267 Speaker 2: on this team to you know, to immediately be a 145 00:07:15,427 --> 00:07:17,627 Speaker 2: certain type of captain of the site. 146 00:07:18,867 --> 00:07:21,787 Speaker 4: I wouldn't say straight away. I certainly don't want to 147 00:07:21,827 --> 00:07:24,427 Speaker 4: come in and start changing things left, right and center. 148 00:07:24,467 --> 00:07:27,387 Speaker 4: And you know, we're the test how we do a 149 00:07:27,427 --> 00:07:30,187 Speaker 4: lot of good things. I'm sure there'll be things that 150 00:07:30,427 --> 00:07:32,427 Speaker 4: that we want to improve, like I guess any team 151 00:07:32,507 --> 00:07:37,627 Speaker 4: does throughout the road. But yeah, I guess we'll evaluate 152 00:07:37,707 --> 00:07:39,427 Speaker 4: that and hopefully adapt as quick as we can on 153 00:07:39,507 --> 00:07:43,227 Speaker 4: the road, and if need be, we'll obviously make those 154 00:07:43,307 --> 00:07:45,907 Speaker 4: changes and if any changes at all. 155 00:07:46,427 --> 00:07:49,867 Speaker 2: How important a part of Test captaincy is team selection, 156 00:07:51,347 --> 00:07:52,227 Speaker 2: and yeah. 157 00:07:52,107 --> 00:07:56,987 Speaker 4: Obviously in all formats it's it's important thing if you 158 00:07:57,067 --> 00:07:59,947 Speaker 4: look as a whole our test sides being reasonably settled 159 00:07:59,987 --> 00:08:03,547 Speaker 4: over a long period of time. I think the consistency 160 00:08:03,587 --> 00:08:06,907 Speaker 4: of selection is has certainly helped the team and in 161 00:08:07,027 --> 00:08:08,507 Speaker 4: terms of where we've got to where we've got to 162 00:08:08,587 --> 00:08:12,347 Speaker 4: in the past, not just over recent times, but you 163 00:08:12,427 --> 00:08:15,267 Speaker 4: know times we have been really successful, and I think 164 00:08:15,347 --> 00:08:20,547 Speaker 4: that consistency is important to give guys opportunities to perform 165 00:08:20,587 --> 00:08:23,307 Speaker 4: their roles as best they can. In recently, know how 166 00:08:23,347 --> 00:08:26,187 Speaker 4: fickle cricket can be, We've obviously placed in some tough 167 00:08:26,227 --> 00:08:30,547 Speaker 4: conditions at home but also away, So I think for 168 00:08:30,867 --> 00:08:33,787 Speaker 4: me it's probably more the consistency pieces making sure you 169 00:08:33,867 --> 00:08:37,387 Speaker 4: give you guys opportunities to do the roles that they've 170 00:08:37,387 --> 00:08:37,987 Speaker 4: been selected for. 171 00:08:38,707 --> 00:08:41,427 Speaker 2: In the recent Trill Lincoln series it was it was 172 00:08:41,467 --> 00:08:45,347 Speaker 2: two seemers too special as seemas picked for both Test matches. 173 00:08:45,787 --> 00:08:47,787 Speaker 2: Do you feel like that's likely to be the case 174 00:08:47,827 --> 00:08:48,667 Speaker 2: in India as well? 175 00:08:50,427 --> 00:08:52,747 Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll obviously have to wait to we get over there, 176 00:08:52,787 --> 00:08:55,907 Speaker 4: but I think if you look over a recent series, 177 00:08:56,427 --> 00:08:58,547 Speaker 4: you know, it tends to sort of be that makeup 178 00:08:58,627 --> 00:09:01,707 Speaker 4: in terms of you know, seem as versus spinners. I 179 00:09:01,747 --> 00:09:03,907 Speaker 4: think we're lucky we've got you know, plenty of all 180 00:09:03,987 --> 00:09:08,307 Speaker 4: rounders in that top six, which certainly makes your resource 181 00:09:08,387 --> 00:09:10,587 Speaker 4: a little bit differ in terms of having a few 182 00:09:10,627 --> 00:09:15,347 Speaker 4: more different options. So yeah, I think obviously hard to 183 00:09:15,467 --> 00:09:20,307 Speaker 4: not to say from from here an I'd say potentially 184 00:09:20,427 --> 00:09:23,987 Speaker 4: that you know, the two seamers is obviously a high 185 00:09:24,107 --> 00:09:26,187 Speaker 4: chance of that depending on what we what we get 186 00:09:26,387 --> 00:09:28,067 Speaker 4: in terms of pitch twise in. 187 00:09:28,147 --> 00:09:32,547 Speaker 2: India arguably a bigger challenge even than Sri Lanka. Do 188 00:09:32,587 --> 00:09:34,907 Speaker 2: you feel there's any need to rebuild confidence in the 189 00:09:34,987 --> 00:09:37,547 Speaker 2: team after the after the series defeat in Sri Lanka. 190 00:09:38,947 --> 00:09:41,227 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll the results didn't quite go our way. I 191 00:09:41,307 --> 00:09:43,467 Speaker 4: think if you look at that first Test, we were 192 00:09:44,147 --> 00:09:45,827 Speaker 4: we were pretty close. I think there was only sixty 193 00:09:45,907 --> 00:09:48,667 Speaker 4: runs that we lost by So in test cricket, that's 194 00:09:49,067 --> 00:09:52,387 Speaker 4: a reasonably sport small margin, and we did play some 195 00:09:52,427 --> 00:09:55,227 Speaker 4: good cricket throughout that game and obviously take away the 196 00:09:56,067 --> 00:09:58,707 Speaker 4: first innings with the bat. In the second Test, I 197 00:09:58,707 --> 00:10:01,147 Speaker 4: actually thought we played reasonably well in that second to 198 00:10:01,587 --> 00:10:04,747 Speaker 4: get over through fifty and a third fourth innings is 199 00:10:05,347 --> 00:10:07,947 Speaker 4: as obviously a decent effort as well. So yeah, obviously 200 00:10:07,947 --> 00:10:11,267 Speaker 4: a different challenge, a big challenge which I'm sure everyone 201 00:10:11,267 --> 00:10:13,667 Speaker 4: we're looking forward to. It is no better time to 202 00:10:13,867 --> 00:10:16,307 Speaker 4: test yourself against, you know that the best team and 203 00:10:16,427 --> 00:10:20,427 Speaker 4: their own conditions and India and through pretty iconic venues. 204 00:10:20,467 --> 00:10:23,667 Speaker 4: So I'm sure the guys will be resting up this 205 00:10:23,787 --> 00:10:26,827 Speaker 4: week and hopefully looking forward against into things next week. 206 00:10:27,187 --> 00:10:29,067 Speaker 2: When you find yourself in a situation like that the 207 00:10:29,147 --> 00:10:31,547 Speaker 2: Second Test when Sri Lanka were batting, you know, the 208 00:10:31,667 --> 00:10:34,667 Speaker 2: piling on runs, breakthroughs are hard to come by. What 209 00:10:34,827 --> 00:10:37,667 Speaker 2: is the best strategy as a captain in that situation. 210 00:10:38,707 --> 00:10:41,027 Speaker 4: Yeah, it certainly hard, and I think you go through 211 00:10:41,107 --> 00:10:44,147 Speaker 4: many different ideas and everything you throw it and they 212 00:10:44,187 --> 00:10:46,627 Speaker 4: sort of tend to come up with the answers. So 213 00:10:47,307 --> 00:10:49,107 Speaker 4: you know, it is really hard in that situation in 214 00:10:49,227 --> 00:10:53,067 Speaker 4: terms of you know what you do, and we haven't 215 00:10:53,107 --> 00:10:55,987 Speaker 4: been in that situation a lot before and credit to 216 00:10:55,987 --> 00:10:58,987 Speaker 4: the way that short to play, they played outstandingly well. 217 00:10:59,067 --> 00:11:02,867 Speaker 4: And yeah, that's sort of hard to know. I guess, Yeah, 218 00:11:02,987 --> 00:11:05,547 Speaker 4: you lean on those experiences that you've had before, and 219 00:11:06,947 --> 00:11:08,347 Speaker 4: I guess you're just trying to do anything to get 220 00:11:08,347 --> 00:11:10,187 Speaker 4: to work at You're trying to, you know, go through 221 00:11:10,187 --> 00:11:13,747 Speaker 4: different options, different change bowls at different ends and different 222 00:11:13,787 --> 00:11:18,067 Speaker 4: field placings. You're just trying to just do something to 223 00:11:19,267 --> 00:11:20,787 Speaker 4: break the partnership because you know if you do that 224 00:11:20,867 --> 00:11:22,827 Speaker 4: and then things tend to happen quite quickly. In those 225 00:11:22,867 --> 00:11:24,307 Speaker 4: parts of the world where you can get run, you 226 00:11:24,307 --> 00:11:26,627 Speaker 4: can get a couple quickly. So I hopefull we're not 227 00:11:26,667 --> 00:11:27,267 Speaker 4: in that situation. 228 00:11:28,227 --> 00:11:30,787 Speaker 2: Yeah, and with the bat, you're one of our best 229 00:11:30,947 --> 00:11:34,187 Speaker 2: players off spin bowling and it's likely obviously that you're 230 00:11:34,227 --> 00:11:35,307 Speaker 2: going to have to face quite a bit of it 231 00:11:35,387 --> 00:11:37,747 Speaker 2: in India as you did in Sri Lanka. What are 232 00:11:37,787 --> 00:11:42,907 Speaker 2: the real keys to playing spin well, particularly in the subcontinent. 233 00:11:45,147 --> 00:11:47,067 Speaker 4: That's having your plan and trying to stick to it 234 00:11:47,827 --> 00:11:50,547 Speaker 4: for long periods. I think we're seeing, you know, different 235 00:11:50,587 --> 00:11:54,827 Speaker 4: teams in recent times turn there do it differently. Likes England, 236 00:11:54,907 --> 00:11:57,027 Speaker 4: they tend to be a little bit more aggressive, Whereas 237 00:11:57,827 --> 00:12:00,547 Speaker 4: you know, we've obviously have players that like to bat 238 00:12:00,587 --> 00:12:03,947 Speaker 4: long periods of time and try weir teams down. And 239 00:12:04,507 --> 00:12:05,907 Speaker 4: I think it's been able to stick to a plan 240 00:12:06,387 --> 00:12:09,107 Speaker 4: as best you can. I think from a spin point 241 00:12:09,147 --> 00:12:11,027 Speaker 4: of view, sometimes it's not the ball that actually turns 242 00:12:11,067 --> 00:12:13,227 Speaker 4: it that gets all the wickets. It's the one that 243 00:12:13,307 --> 00:12:16,267 Speaker 4: flies on it tends to be, tends to be the 244 00:12:16,387 --> 00:12:19,267 Speaker 4: danger bull. But I've said I've got some quality spinners 245 00:12:19,307 --> 00:12:21,987 Speaker 4: but also got some fantastic pass balls as well, So 246 00:12:22,907 --> 00:12:25,147 Speaker 4: we're certainly going to be tested, that's for sure. But 247 00:12:25,267 --> 00:12:26,547 Speaker 4: I know the guys will be looking forward to it. 248 00:12:27,227 --> 00:12:29,107 Speaker 2: And I don't know whether this is a myth or not, 249 00:12:29,267 --> 00:12:33,027 Speaker 2: but you often hear about captain c affecting a player's performance. 250 00:12:34,307 --> 00:12:38,267 Speaker 2: What strategies can you use to make sure captaincy doesn't 251 00:12:38,307 --> 00:12:39,307 Speaker 2: affect the way you bat? 252 00:12:41,187 --> 00:12:41,387 Speaker 6: Yeah? 253 00:12:41,827 --> 00:12:43,987 Speaker 4: Again, I think it's been able to stick to your 254 00:12:44,027 --> 00:12:46,427 Speaker 4: planet as best you can. I think you know, it's 255 00:12:46,507 --> 00:12:50,027 Speaker 4: been able to switch between a captain and also switching 256 00:12:50,107 --> 00:12:53,867 Speaker 4: between a batsman, which is really important. Though obviously when 257 00:12:53,907 --> 00:12:56,827 Speaker 4: I bat, it's about me and trying to I guess 258 00:12:56,987 --> 00:12:59,467 Speaker 4: nail my things as best I can and not worrying 259 00:12:59,627 --> 00:13:02,947 Speaker 4: too much about what's out of your control. And as 260 00:13:02,987 --> 00:13:05,507 Speaker 4: I said, I've done in the past, done it before, 261 00:13:05,627 --> 00:13:08,067 Speaker 4: so I'll send it leaning back on those experiences and 262 00:13:09,267 --> 00:13:09,827 Speaker 4: going from there. 263 00:13:10,267 --> 00:13:12,627 Speaker 2: Busy time ahead for your tom three Tests against India, 264 00:13:12,667 --> 00:13:15,307 Speaker 2: three back home against England, which we're very much looking 265 00:13:15,347 --> 00:13:18,827 Speaker 2: forward to. Congratulations again on being named our new Test 266 00:13:18,907 --> 00:13:21,947 Speaker 2: captain and thanks for the chat this afternoon. No worry, 267 00:13:22,907 --> 00:13:26,267 Speaker 2: no thank you, Tom. Tom Latham there black Caps Test skipper, 268 00:13:26,467 --> 00:13:28,707 Speaker 2: not on a temporary basis anymore, not on a fill 269 00:13:28,747 --> 00:13:33,227 Speaker 2: in basis. He is the new Test skipper moving forward. 270 00:13:33,307 --> 00:13:35,187 Speaker 2: Keen to hear from you now on this and a 271 00:13:35,227 --> 00:13:37,987 Speaker 2: couple of issues wrapped around it. Oh eight hundred and 272 00:13:38,027 --> 00:13:40,507 Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty lines are open for your thoughts or 273 00:13:40,547 --> 00:13:44,227 Speaker 2: the text as well. Nine two ninety two your thoughts 274 00:13:44,307 --> 00:13:47,427 Speaker 2: on the captaincy change. Is Tom Latham the right man 275 00:13:47,467 --> 00:13:49,787 Speaker 2: to move us forward? And what do you see now 276 00:13:50,667 --> 00:13:54,507 Speaker 2: in the future of Tim Southey as an international cricketer. 277 00:13:55,587 --> 00:13:58,507 Speaker 2: Reading between the lines of Tom Latham's diplomacy there, it's 278 00:13:58,627 --> 00:14:02,027 Speaker 2: clear he was disappointed to be overlooked the first time 279 00:14:03,027 --> 00:14:06,227 Speaker 2: when came Williamson relinquished the Test captaincy the back end 280 00:14:06,427 --> 00:14:09,347 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. I think most people thought Tom Latham 281 00:14:09,547 --> 00:14:13,307 Speaker 2: was the obvious choice, having done it before and being 282 00:14:13,387 --> 00:14:16,827 Speaker 2: a guy who in all conditions, in all countries and 283 00:14:16,907 --> 00:14:20,387 Speaker 2: every Test match is pretty much a first choice player. 284 00:14:21,187 --> 00:14:23,907 Speaker 2: If he's fit, he plays Tom Latham. He's become one 285 00:14:23,947 --> 00:14:28,067 Speaker 2: of our best Test openers. And yes he's gone through 286 00:14:28,067 --> 00:14:31,907 Speaker 2: a little bit of a rocky time recently with the 287 00:14:31,947 --> 00:14:34,507 Speaker 2: bat as well, but I think the fact remains that 288 00:14:34,627 --> 00:14:39,267 Speaker 2: he is part of our best Test eleven. The change 289 00:14:39,267 --> 00:14:42,707 Speaker 2: of testcaver had to happen, obviously, and whether it was 290 00:14:42,787 --> 00:14:46,067 Speaker 2: the captain c that affected his performances or not, and 291 00:14:46,147 --> 00:14:47,707 Speaker 2: I actually think it did play a big part. The 292 00:14:47,747 --> 00:14:51,187 Speaker 2: fact is Tim Southey wasn't doing enough to guarantee his 293 00:14:51,307 --> 00:14:53,787 Speaker 2: place in the team, and that becomes a real issue 294 00:14:54,387 --> 00:14:57,787 Speaker 2: when you are captain, even more so on the Subcontinent. 295 00:14:57,867 --> 00:14:59,107 Speaker 2: And I've said this a lot of times in the 296 00:14:59,187 --> 00:15:01,467 Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. More often than not, you play 297 00:15:01,627 --> 00:15:05,427 Speaker 2: just two seemas in Test matches in the Subcontinent, your 298 00:15:05,467 --> 00:15:08,587 Speaker 2: quickest and your best, and Tim Soudy isn't either of 299 00:15:08,667 --> 00:15:11,187 Speaker 2: those two things at the moment. The O mission of 300 00:15:11,267 --> 00:15:15,587 Speaker 2: Matt Henry can only be explained by Tim Southy being 301 00:15:15,707 --> 00:15:20,907 Speaker 2: captain because the last time Matt Henry bolden Test cricket 302 00:15:20,947 --> 00:15:22,827 Speaker 2: was against Australia at the end of our home summer. 303 00:15:23,227 --> 00:15:25,427 Speaker 2: He took five for seventy and three for thirty six 304 00:15:25,507 --> 00:15:28,067 Speaker 2: on the first Test, seven for sixty seven and two 305 00:15:28,107 --> 00:15:31,467 Speaker 2: for ninety four in the second, seventeen wickets at fifteen's 306 00:15:31,947 --> 00:15:36,907 Speaker 2: easily our best bowler and probably the best across both 307 00:15:36,947 --> 00:15:39,867 Speaker 2: sides in the series. Tim Soudy four wickets in those 308 00:15:39,907 --> 00:15:42,867 Speaker 2: two Tests at an average of sixty one, and Matt 309 00:15:42,907 --> 00:15:46,987 Speaker 2: Henry also contributed some handy runs, averaging over twenty five 310 00:15:47,427 --> 00:15:50,027 Speaker 2: Tim Southy eight and a half, But it was Matt 311 00:15:50,067 --> 00:15:52,947 Speaker 2: Henry who was left out of the Sri Lankan Tests 312 00:15:53,267 --> 00:15:56,547 Speaker 2: because Tim soud was captain. Imagine taking seven for sixty 313 00:15:56,627 --> 00:16:00,627 Speaker 2: seven against Australia and then being dropped for the next Test, 314 00:16:00,747 --> 00:16:04,667 Speaker 2: albeit in very different conditions. Well, thankfully that will be 315 00:16:04,707 --> 00:16:06,267 Speaker 2: one of the first things put right. You'd have to 316 00:16:06,467 --> 00:16:09,107 Speaker 2: think by this captaincy change, it'll ensure that Matt Henry 317 00:16:09,107 --> 00:16:13,747 Speaker 2: plays against India. The question now is whether Tim Southy 318 00:16:13,827 --> 00:16:16,827 Speaker 2: even goes on that tour and a large part of 319 00:16:16,867 --> 00:16:20,747 Speaker 2: me thinks he shouldn't. He should stay back here, get 320 00:16:20,827 --> 00:16:23,907 Speaker 2: out of the limelight, freshen up and get ready to 321 00:16:23,947 --> 00:16:27,907 Speaker 2: play the three Tests against England before Christmas, because he 322 00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:31,907 Speaker 2: should definitely play in those Tests. Tim Southey will have 323 00:16:31,987 --> 00:16:35,467 Speaker 2: a seam heavy attack and he is still part of 324 00:16:35,547 --> 00:16:39,507 Speaker 2: a four pronged pace attack. Our best four Matt Henry, obviously, 325 00:16:39,587 --> 00:16:43,307 Speaker 2: Will O'Rourke, Tim Southey and probably Ben Sears. I don't 326 00:16:43,347 --> 00:16:46,627 Speaker 2: know the current status of Kyle Jamison. Hopefully we'll see 327 00:16:46,667 --> 00:16:49,467 Speaker 2: him again this summer. But Tim Southey plays those Test matches, 328 00:16:50,547 --> 00:16:52,467 Speaker 2: and I really think that might be quite a good 329 00:16:52,507 --> 00:16:55,747 Speaker 2: way to bring the curtain down on what has been 330 00:16:55,867 --> 00:17:00,387 Speaker 2: by every measure pretty much a terrific career three hundred 331 00:17:00,427 --> 00:17:04,827 Speaker 2: and eighty two Test wickets. Only Sir Richard Hadley has 332 00:17:04,867 --> 00:17:05,227 Speaker 2: more than that. 333 00:17:05,347 --> 00:17:05,627 Speaker 7: For us. 334 00:17:06,347 --> 00:17:08,947 Speaker 2: It be great to see Tim Southey join that very 335 00:17:09,147 --> 00:17:13,987 Speaker 2: exclusive four hundred Test wicket club. Eighteen more wickets might 336 00:17:14,027 --> 00:17:15,787 Speaker 2: be a stretch in three Test matches, but who knows, 337 00:17:15,827 --> 00:17:17,867 Speaker 2: without having to worry about anything else other than bowling, 338 00:17:18,507 --> 00:17:22,107 Speaker 2: and on reasonably seem friendly wickets at Hagley the Basin, 339 00:17:22,187 --> 00:17:26,747 Speaker 2: Seddon Park, he could do it. I honestly think relinquishing 340 00:17:27,507 --> 00:17:31,067 Speaker 2: the captaincy is a good thing for Tim Southey. He 341 00:17:31,227 --> 00:17:33,667 Speaker 2: is one of our cricketing greats. He deserves to go 342 00:17:33,787 --> 00:17:37,387 Speaker 2: out on top. And the longer the captaincy saga played out, 343 00:17:37,427 --> 00:17:40,587 Speaker 2: the more his legacy was being affected. Now he's got 344 00:17:40,627 --> 00:17:44,627 Speaker 2: a chance for a swan song at home and to 345 00:17:44,787 --> 00:17:46,347 Speaker 2: enjoy a fitting into a great career. 346 00:17:46,827 --> 00:17:47,667 Speaker 8: Weekends for it. 347 00:17:48,467 --> 00:17:51,307 Speaker 2: Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty twelve twenty six, we're 348 00:17:51,347 --> 00:17:52,547 Speaker 2: back with your calls right after. 349 00:17:52,467 --> 00:17:55,387 Speaker 7: This morning afternoon Piney, How are you, mate, Mike Green 350 00:17:55,507 --> 00:17:58,547 Speaker 7: from this last six Sri Lanka cold going away years? 351 00:18:00,227 --> 00:18:04,827 Speaker 2: No, So look, I'm glad they've made the change. You know, 352 00:18:04,987 --> 00:18:07,067 Speaker 2: if we if there'd be no Checke and we were 353 00:18:07,307 --> 00:18:10,987 Speaker 2: we were contemplating the prospect of playing India over there 354 00:18:11,027 --> 00:18:13,507 Speaker 2: in three Test matches without our best seam bowler as 355 00:18:13,547 --> 00:18:15,427 Speaker 2: part of the eleven, I would have had probably more 356 00:18:15,467 --> 00:18:18,267 Speaker 2: of a headache. I actually am now looking more forward 357 00:18:18,307 --> 00:18:20,787 Speaker 2: to the Indian Test matches, daunting as they may be. 358 00:18:22,627 --> 00:18:24,547 Speaker 7: The change had to be done before we went on 359 00:18:24,627 --> 00:18:27,987 Speaker 7: this tour, fining like it was pretty obvious that Sowdy 360 00:18:28,067 --> 00:18:30,067 Speaker 7: shouldn't have been playing because you were only going to 361 00:18:30,147 --> 00:18:33,987 Speaker 7: pick two bowlers o rock or Sears and Matt Henry. 362 00:18:34,067 --> 00:18:37,427 Speaker 7: I just find it so battling that Matt Henry was 363 00:18:37,467 --> 00:18:39,667 Speaker 7: carrying the drenks in his past the Test series. It's 364 00:18:39,787 --> 00:18:42,747 Speaker 7: just it was as flatantly obvious that Soudy just didn't 365 00:18:42,747 --> 00:18:44,667 Speaker 7: want to drop himself because he wanted to play. But 366 00:18:45,347 --> 00:18:49,027 Speaker 7: I mean, really, stats don't lie, pining and Sowdy shouldn't 367 00:18:49,267 --> 00:18:51,667 Speaker 7: Southey after that one hundred and sevens crisis, he should have. 368 00:18:52,067 --> 00:18:55,067 Speaker 7: He should have I would have thought this, probably should 369 00:18:55,067 --> 00:18:57,587 Speaker 7: have just said, hey, I'm retiring now, thanks very much, 370 00:18:57,627 --> 00:19:01,187 Speaker 7: see you later. Because it's a no brainerupon, isn't it. 371 00:19:01,787 --> 00:19:05,027 Speaker 2: Yeah, on numbers alone, Rich, it's a no brainer. With 372 00:19:05,107 --> 00:19:07,747 Speaker 2: Matt Henry and some Southe You're right, and like, if 373 00:19:07,787 --> 00:19:09,587 Speaker 2: you have above this, take the personneliti's out of it. 374 00:19:09,667 --> 00:19:12,427 Speaker 2: The captain should never be thinking about dropping themselves. But 375 00:19:12,747 --> 00:19:15,867 Speaker 2: I think it must have been clear to Tim Southey, 376 00:19:15,947 --> 00:19:20,507 Speaker 2: even privately, that he wasn't contributing enough in his core 377 00:19:20,667 --> 00:19:23,667 Speaker 2: role as a seam bowler to justify a place in 378 00:19:23,707 --> 00:19:26,067 Speaker 2: the team when, as you say, we're only going to 379 00:19:26,107 --> 00:19:28,467 Speaker 2: play two bowlers, two seam bowlers on the subcontinent, and 380 00:19:28,627 --> 00:19:32,307 Speaker 2: so I think that's obviously occurred to him or or 381 00:19:32,427 --> 00:19:35,027 Speaker 2: has he's come to that realization. So I think he's 382 00:19:35,067 --> 00:19:36,387 Speaker 2: made a good decision here. 383 00:19:38,227 --> 00:19:40,227 Speaker 7: I think that it's really I've got a couple of 384 00:19:40,267 --> 00:19:41,707 Speaker 7: points here. Finding haven't got the time? 385 00:19:41,867 --> 00:19:41,987 Speaker 9: Is that? 386 00:19:42,187 --> 00:19:45,067 Speaker 7: Of course, when it comes to with this tour, why 387 00:19:45,387 --> 00:19:47,907 Speaker 7: why have we come home? We should have gone straight 388 00:19:47,947 --> 00:19:50,907 Speaker 7: to Sri Lanka, go to India and start preparat I 389 00:19:50,987 --> 00:19:54,387 Speaker 7: mean winter, we're listening two weeks and we've come home 390 00:19:54,467 --> 00:19:56,547 Speaker 7: for a week and we're going to be flying out quit. 391 00:19:56,467 --> 00:19:57,067 Speaker 9: Later this week. 392 00:19:57,147 --> 00:20:00,387 Speaker 7: We should be going over there and practicing. After that 393 00:20:00,627 --> 00:20:02,227 Speaker 7: poor performance we've had in Sherilanka. 394 00:20:02,507 --> 00:20:03,187 Speaker 9: What are we doing? 395 00:20:03,987 --> 00:20:05,747 Speaker 7: Three kids and yet we've come home. 396 00:20:06,907 --> 00:20:09,867 Speaker 2: I totally agree, particularly given the fact and not that 397 00:20:09,867 --> 00:20:11,907 Speaker 2: they would have been able to foresee this, particularly in 398 00:20:11,947 --> 00:20:14,547 Speaker 2: the fact the Afghanistan test was completely washed out, so 399 00:20:14,667 --> 00:20:17,227 Speaker 2: you'll lose that as preparation for the Sri Lankan tests. 400 00:20:17,587 --> 00:20:21,027 Speaker 2: And you're right, Rich. The first test against India starts 401 00:20:21,067 --> 00:20:23,627 Speaker 2: on the sixteenth of October. It's the fifth today, so 402 00:20:23,667 --> 00:20:27,067 Speaker 2: it's only eleven days away. Yeah, I reckon get over there, 403 00:20:27,107 --> 00:20:28,267 Speaker 2: play a couple of four day games. 404 00:20:28,427 --> 00:20:32,787 Speaker 7: Get yourself used to it, right, Yeah, and it's one 405 00:20:32,867 --> 00:20:36,507 Speaker 7: that also battling Kiney that all wickets of Ajs Totel 406 00:20:36,587 --> 00:20:37,547 Speaker 7: have been away from home. 407 00:20:38,107 --> 00:20:39,427 Speaker 10: That clearly highlights the. 408 00:20:39,467 --> 00:20:42,027 Speaker 7: Problem that we're going to spots quine of mentality that 409 00:20:42,187 --> 00:20:45,227 Speaker 7: we start picking a scene spinner and we play them 410 00:20:45,387 --> 00:20:47,667 Speaker 7: on any pitch. I don't care if it's green and 411 00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:50,867 Speaker 7: it looks like pum at the front he played because 412 00:20:51,307 --> 00:20:54,067 Speaker 7: we've sober light on well, we will just stick to 413 00:20:54,107 --> 00:20:56,907 Speaker 7: one dimensional bolus. But things are changed, no wonder we 414 00:20:56,987 --> 00:20:59,347 Speaker 7: don't have When you go look at Ajs Totel, he's 415 00:20:59,427 --> 00:21:03,027 Speaker 7: come out after that last seriously paid in India, he's 416 00:21:03,107 --> 00:21:06,307 Speaker 7: hardly paid a test. He was dropped after taking ten wicks. 417 00:21:06,867 --> 00:21:09,227 Speaker 7: And it's just so frustrating that we just keep pecking 418 00:21:09,267 --> 00:21:12,347 Speaker 7: a spinner based on his batting record and what they're 419 00:21:12,347 --> 00:21:15,107 Speaker 7: skin to providing runs at number eight pack a spinner. 420 00:21:15,427 --> 00:21:18,147 Speaker 7: So look at Australia with Nathan Lyne. You know we 421 00:21:18,347 --> 00:21:21,147 Speaker 7: just never go to We're going to change that mindset. 422 00:21:21,227 --> 00:21:24,307 Speaker 7: I think of this conservative approach with the man testy 423 00:21:24,427 --> 00:21:26,267 Speaker 7: play and the nation our size. 424 00:21:26,467 --> 00:21:27,907 Speaker 9: We've got to be a bit more impressive. 425 00:21:27,907 --> 00:21:29,547 Speaker 7: We've got to start making those changes. 426 00:21:30,107 --> 00:21:34,827 Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. I totally agree on the spinner thing. 427 00:21:34,867 --> 00:21:37,627 Speaker 2: You're so right. Nathan Lyon, after Pat Cummins is probably 428 00:21:37,667 --> 00:21:40,067 Speaker 2: the first guy they write down. He plays every Test, 429 00:21:40,107 --> 00:21:42,347 Speaker 2: as you say, even if the pitch looks like Kermit 430 00:21:42,427 --> 00:21:44,667 Speaker 2: the frog in your in your words, which is a 431 00:21:44,667 --> 00:21:47,187 Speaker 2: great description. He plays. He got ten wickets of the 432 00:21:47,267 --> 00:21:50,627 Speaker 2: basin last summer. He got ten from eight, you. 433 00:21:50,667 --> 00:21:51,027 Speaker 11: Know what I mean. 434 00:21:51,427 --> 00:21:55,147 Speaker 2: And in meantime, here's us not playing a spinner. I 435 00:21:55,187 --> 00:21:57,507 Speaker 2: don't think we played a spinner in that first Test. 436 00:21:57,547 --> 00:22:00,627 Speaker 2: I'm just going to check revenderra bowl seven overs. Glenn 437 00:22:00,627 --> 00:22:02,867 Speaker 2: Phillip's got member. Glenn Phillips got five for in the 438 00:22:02,907 --> 00:22:07,067 Speaker 2: second innings, remember that at the basin and he accidental 439 00:22:07,267 --> 00:22:10,067 Speaker 2: test spinner. So you're so right, and that that stat 440 00:22:10,187 --> 00:22:12,547 Speaker 2: about a jazz is just so glaring. What do they 441 00:22:12,587 --> 00:22:14,307 Speaker 2: say if it seems it spins? 442 00:22:15,547 --> 00:22:18,787 Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, And it's just you know, we saw the 443 00:22:18,867 --> 00:22:21,027 Speaker 7: cat to see change is going to come. But I 444 00:22:21,227 --> 00:22:23,547 Speaker 7: just think there's a lot that rides on Gary Steak here. 445 00:22:23,987 --> 00:22:26,827 Speaker 7: How they cannot just cop all the blame the Gary 446 00:22:26,907 --> 00:22:30,307 Speaker 7: Steed and his conservative approach is what's costing up games. 447 00:22:30,747 --> 00:22:33,827 Speaker 7: We've picked a spinner and any Test we played because 448 00:22:33,867 --> 00:22:36,107 Speaker 7: you go look at Australia. England's trying to do it 449 00:22:36,187 --> 00:22:38,067 Speaker 7: because they've won a points of difference. But I know 450 00:22:38,547 --> 00:22:40,227 Speaker 7: no doubt when we come out here we'll have spoke 451 00:22:40,307 --> 00:22:45,307 Speaker 7: well but four seamers and we'll have lem Philips. I mean, honestly, 452 00:22:46,267 --> 00:22:50,707 Speaker 7: change mat so frustrating. I've got the migrant coming back now. 453 00:22:51,987 --> 00:22:54,507 Speaker 2: We've we've got to draw a line under this particular 454 00:22:54,587 --> 00:22:59,267 Speaker 2: conversation made again, shed again. When the Indian Test roll around, 455 00:23:01,227 --> 00:23:02,027 Speaker 2: I look forward to it. 456 00:23:02,667 --> 00:23:05,107 Speaker 7: With the lack of preparation finding I don't know. As 457 00:23:05,147 --> 00:23:07,467 Speaker 7: Ian Smith said he's going to be going over here 458 00:23:07,587 --> 00:23:09,627 Speaker 7: with last half and I think. 459 00:23:09,547 --> 00:23:12,707 Speaker 2: That's all right. Make good the chat has always appreciate 460 00:23:12,747 --> 00:23:15,067 Speaker 2: your cool. It's chet again in a couple of weeks 461 00:23:15,227 --> 00:23:17,787 Speaker 2: or so. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty's own number, Hello, Chris, 462 00:23:18,787 --> 00:23:19,307 Speaker 2: Oh yeah. 463 00:23:19,147 --> 00:23:23,347 Speaker 8: Again, Jason. Look this this this handing by Naheman Crecket 464 00:23:23,347 --> 00:23:25,307 Speaker 8: of the captaincy that you're discussing at the moment. This 465 00:23:25,547 --> 00:23:28,787 Speaker 8: dates back to twenty twenty two. I remember watching that 466 00:23:28,867 --> 00:23:31,507 Speaker 8: press conference when when when when they stood King Williamson 467 00:23:31,587 --> 00:23:34,147 Speaker 8: down Now he's. 468 00:23:34,027 --> 00:23:36,667 Speaker 2: Still he's still down voluntarily. Just won't make that clear. 469 00:23:37,547 --> 00:23:38,667 Speaker 8: Are you are you sure about that? 470 00:23:39,067 --> 00:23:41,467 Speaker 2: Came Williamson. Yeah, he relinquished the Test captaincy. 471 00:23:42,307 --> 00:23:46,027 Speaker 8: Yeah, when he looked at it, perplexed anyway, Okay, fair enough? 472 00:23:46,107 --> 00:23:48,187 Speaker 8: And so I agree with Simon all the time. He said, 473 00:23:48,267 --> 00:23:51,747 Speaker 8: it's more it's kin Williamson needs to be playing Test 474 00:23:51,787 --> 00:23:56,107 Speaker 8: cricket for New Zealand till he's forty hopefully. And the 475 00:23:56,227 --> 00:23:58,387 Speaker 8: thing that the thing is it should have been Laysam. 476 00:23:58,467 --> 00:24:01,827 Speaker 8: Then I'm not a big Layson fan because I think 477 00:24:01,827 --> 00:24:06,747 Speaker 8: he's he's a great bloke, good good opening Test. But 478 00:24:06,827 --> 00:24:09,027 Speaker 8: he's not a Christive captain. He's very very conservative. 479 00:24:11,467 --> 00:24:13,867 Speaker 2: Yeah I would say that, Yes, I would say that's fair. 480 00:24:13,707 --> 00:24:14,067 Speaker 5: Wouldn't you? 481 00:24:14,587 --> 00:24:14,787 Speaker 6: Yeah? 482 00:24:15,027 --> 00:24:16,747 Speaker 8: But who else would you? I mean who else would you? 483 00:24:16,867 --> 00:24:19,507 Speaker 8: But the problem was who else in that team could 484 00:24:19,547 --> 00:24:22,667 Speaker 8: could take the take the reins Conway, who's had first 485 00:24:22,667 --> 00:24:27,347 Speaker 8: class Test, who's had first class captaincy experience? Jason out 486 00:24:27,387 --> 00:24:29,587 Speaker 8: of say Conway and Mitchell And have they done it? 487 00:24:29,987 --> 00:24:32,187 Speaker 2: I don't, not not for a long not not for 488 00:24:32,507 --> 00:24:35,747 Speaker 2: a prolonged period Chris, you work your way down Conway, 489 00:24:35,867 --> 00:24:40,147 Speaker 2: no Mitchell, no Phillips, no Blundell, no Santna a little 490 00:24:40,187 --> 00:24:42,387 Speaker 2: bit maybe, and then you're getting into the Bowlders, where 491 00:24:42,387 --> 00:24:45,147 Speaker 2: once again you're fraught with difficulty around selection, et cetera. 492 00:24:45,267 --> 00:24:48,267 Speaker 2: So it's really lath them or nobody at the moment. 493 00:24:48,347 --> 00:24:50,867 Speaker 2: I think Glenn Phillips moving forward would be a very 494 00:24:50,947 --> 00:24:53,907 Speaker 2: good choice because he's got a bit about him, a 495 00:24:53,947 --> 00:24:57,027 Speaker 2: bit of innovation, a bit of you know, up in 496 00:24:57,107 --> 00:25:00,787 Speaker 2: your grill type mentality. I think he's he reminds me 497 00:25:00,827 --> 00:25:02,627 Speaker 2: a little bit of Brendan mcallum in that way. I 498 00:25:02,707 --> 00:25:05,147 Speaker 2: think Glen Phillips would be a really good choice moving forward. 499 00:25:06,547 --> 00:25:08,627 Speaker 8: They're there because he's only twenty six and he's now 500 00:25:08,627 --> 00:25:12,387 Speaker 8: an established Test cricketer. I mean the only guy I say, 501 00:25:12,827 --> 00:25:15,627 Speaker 8: you said, you know, bobbles don't make good Test captains. Well, 502 00:25:15,627 --> 00:25:17,347 Speaker 8: the difference there is Pat Cummins. But look at the 503 00:25:17,467 --> 00:25:21,347 Speaker 8: Armory Comers has got batsman and bowlders. Anyone could captain 504 00:25:21,387 --> 00:25:22,267 Speaker 8: that team well. 505 00:25:22,307 --> 00:25:24,667 Speaker 2: I think also he has justified his place because he 506 00:25:24,787 --> 00:25:27,747 Speaker 2: continues to perform, and that's I think the issue here, 507 00:25:27,827 --> 00:25:31,027 Speaker 2: Chris is that because Tim Sowdy wasn't getting those wickets, 508 00:25:31,187 --> 00:25:35,547 Speaker 2: wasn't performing His place in the side immediately comes into question, 509 00:25:35,667 --> 00:25:38,827 Speaker 2: and you can't have that when you are the skipper 510 00:25:38,907 --> 00:25:42,027 Speaker 2: of the side. You have to always justify your place first. 511 00:25:42,147 --> 00:25:44,427 Speaker 2: This is the whole reason why Sam Kaine's been so 512 00:25:44,507 --> 00:25:47,107 Speaker 2: polarizing as All Blacks captain, because there was a wide 513 00:25:47,987 --> 00:25:50,267 Speaker 2: segment of the rugby public who didn't think he deserved 514 00:25:50,307 --> 00:25:52,347 Speaker 2: to be there in the first place, let alone be captain. 515 00:25:52,587 --> 00:25:55,307 Speaker 2: Whether that's true or not, that was the perception when 516 00:25:55,627 --> 00:25:58,507 Speaker 2: and cricket is so much more numbers based than rugby. 517 00:25:58,787 --> 00:26:01,227 Speaker 2: You can look at Tim Soudy's bowling figures and say, right, well, 518 00:26:01,467 --> 00:26:04,747 Speaker 2: here he is compared to Matt Henry. Anybody can see 519 00:26:04,787 --> 00:26:06,627 Speaker 2: that Matt Henry is a better bat all or at 520 00:26:06,667 --> 00:26:09,027 Speaker 2: the moment than Tim Saudi and Test cricket. And yet 521 00:26:09,107 --> 00:26:11,667 Speaker 2: Saudi's not going to be dropped because he's captain. You 522 00:26:11,707 --> 00:26:14,587 Speaker 2: shouldn't drop your captain. Your captain should never be dropped. 523 00:26:15,027 --> 00:26:16,707 Speaker 2: We need to take it back and say it was 524 00:26:16,787 --> 00:26:20,267 Speaker 2: the wrong decision in hindsight to appoint him captain. And 525 00:26:20,387 --> 00:26:22,827 Speaker 2: I give a lot of credit to Tim Soude for 526 00:26:22,987 --> 00:26:27,187 Speaker 2: realizing that, realizing that his performances haven't been up to 527 00:26:27,307 --> 00:26:30,507 Speaker 2: it recently and stepping aside from the captain c I 528 00:26:30,667 --> 00:26:37,027 Speaker 2: rate it. Thanks for your call, Chris Murray. Hi, very 529 00:26:37,027 --> 00:26:37,507 Speaker 2: good Murray. 530 00:26:37,507 --> 00:26:37,787 Speaker 11: How are you? 531 00:26:39,107 --> 00:26:39,307 Speaker 8: Yeah? 532 00:26:39,547 --> 00:26:48,547 Speaker 2: Well, all right mate? Well just hold your phone a 533 00:26:48,587 --> 00:26:50,507 Speaker 2: bit closer to your mouth, mate, because I can't unless 534 00:26:50,507 --> 00:26:52,387 Speaker 2: you're not able to, because I can't quite got your 535 00:26:52,427 --> 00:26:54,467 Speaker 2: better there now mate. So all right, So well, good 536 00:26:54,467 --> 00:26:55,907 Speaker 2: that you can chat. Good that you can chat to 537 00:26:55,987 --> 00:26:57,547 Speaker 2: us and we can keep your company. What's on your mind? 538 00:26:58,747 --> 00:27:03,787 Speaker 6: Well, my coach junior cricket in my day, and I 539 00:27:03,987 --> 00:27:07,267 Speaker 6: think you did right. He shouldn't drop your captain and 540 00:27:07,467 --> 00:27:10,947 Speaker 6: I never did. All the captains I had, one of 541 00:27:10,987 --> 00:27:11,867 Speaker 6: them was meeting to him. 542 00:27:12,707 --> 00:27:12,827 Speaker 12: Uh. 543 00:27:13,387 --> 00:27:18,747 Speaker 6: And you know you've got to sometimes you've got to 544 00:27:18,827 --> 00:27:23,467 Speaker 6: play defensive to get get a wicked or two. And 545 00:27:24,387 --> 00:27:27,827 Speaker 6: I as far as how he goes, I don't think 546 00:27:27,867 --> 00:27:30,667 Speaker 6: they'll select him go to India. I think they'll tell 547 00:27:30,747 --> 00:27:34,547 Speaker 6: him to get him get himself right for the green grass, 548 00:27:34,707 --> 00:27:39,027 Speaker 6: for the Oval and christ hut year. That's what I think. 549 00:27:39,907 --> 00:27:42,347 Speaker 2: So I hope they do nothing. That's my that's my hope. 550 00:27:42,427 --> 00:27:44,947 Speaker 2: I hope they do. I just don't think he's probably 551 00:27:44,947 --> 00:27:46,787 Speaker 2: he's probably not going to play in India, right, if 552 00:27:46,787 --> 00:27:50,547 Speaker 2: we're honest, he's probably not going to play. So yeah, 553 00:27:50,587 --> 00:27:54,107 Speaker 2: so so why put him through going? I mean, he's clear, 554 00:27:54,267 --> 00:27:57,027 Speaker 2: I don't know, he's always before he was captain, and 555 00:27:57,147 --> 00:27:59,507 Speaker 2: even while he's captain, he's a popular member of that 556 00:27:59,707 --> 00:28:02,827 Speaker 2: team and captains he just seems to have really weighed 557 00:28:02,907 --> 00:28:05,307 Speaker 2: on him, you know. He just doesn't seem to be 558 00:28:05,387 --> 00:28:07,947 Speaker 2: as carefree as he used to be. He had a 559 00:28:07,987 --> 00:28:10,867 Speaker 2: pretty good poker face, but inside that team environment when 560 00:28:10,907 --> 00:28:13,787 Speaker 2: he wasn't captain, he was very very popular with that 561 00:28:13,867 --> 00:28:16,187 Speaker 2: team and probably still is. So maybe you take him 562 00:28:16,187 --> 00:28:17,907 Speaker 2: in that regard, But I don't think he's going to 563 00:28:17,947 --> 00:28:19,867 Speaker 2: play over there, so I'd be leaving him back here 564 00:28:19,867 --> 00:28:20,867 Speaker 2: and getting him ready for England. 565 00:28:21,347 --> 00:28:25,067 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right, And as far as Latham goes as captain, 566 00:28:25,627 --> 00:28:29,387 Speaker 6: he'd be my captain for a long long time. That's 567 00:28:29,587 --> 00:28:33,227 Speaker 6: That's that's where I see. It just becomes you come 568 00:28:33,427 --> 00:28:36,667 Speaker 6: because you come from Canterbury. But he's a very good player. 569 00:28:38,627 --> 00:28:40,787 Speaker 2: Yeah, you do tend to be very very it tend 570 00:28:40,827 --> 00:28:42,547 Speaker 2: to be very parochial down there, but we love that 571 00:28:42,587 --> 00:28:42,907 Speaker 2: about you. 572 00:28:42,987 --> 00:28:43,267 Speaker 8: Murray. 573 00:28:43,987 --> 00:28:45,707 Speaker 2: I feel the same way watch two games. 574 00:28:46,107 --> 00:28:49,027 Speaker 6: We're getting to watch two games of Canterbury today on 575 00:28:49,187 --> 00:28:52,827 Speaker 6: the rugby and they're both playing my ketto dead the 576 00:28:52,947 --> 00:28:53,627 Speaker 6: haulsh aren't they? 577 00:28:56,427 --> 00:28:58,347 Speaker 2: Oh well, I don't know whether Canterbury a favorite in 578 00:28:58,387 --> 00:29:01,027 Speaker 2: the women's final, Murray, I really don't think that. 579 00:29:02,267 --> 00:29:04,227 Speaker 9: I think that will be you reckon. 580 00:29:04,387 --> 00:29:07,307 Speaker 6: I think they went away from home. Yeah all right, 581 00:29:07,547 --> 00:29:11,707 Speaker 6: I kind of. I don't like betting against or or 582 00:29:11,787 --> 00:29:14,747 Speaker 6: beckon against the Red and Blades or the Black and White. 583 00:29:14,867 --> 00:29:17,947 Speaker 6: But here they game did night. It would be tough 584 00:29:18,867 --> 00:29:22,387 Speaker 6: live on Sky Open and I'll be watching it. I mean, 585 00:29:22,787 --> 00:29:27,227 Speaker 6: let me be good. May Red and Blakes weren't there too? 586 00:29:28,147 --> 00:29:30,347 Speaker 2: That all to you and to you was well, look, 587 00:29:30,347 --> 00:29:31,907 Speaker 2: I hope for your sake, Loo, I've got no skin 588 00:29:31,987 --> 00:29:34,187 Speaker 2: in either of those two games. I'm I'm from Wellington. 589 00:29:34,267 --> 00:29:36,747 Speaker 2: So if Canterbury were to beat White Otta in both 590 00:29:36,747 --> 00:29:39,227 Speaker 2: the Farah Parmer Cup final and the MPC later tonight, 591 00:29:39,427 --> 00:29:42,107 Speaker 2: then I'd be very happy with that, or I wouldn't 592 00:29:42,107 --> 00:29:44,667 Speaker 2: be unhappy with it. I probably feel what neutral about it, 593 00:29:44,907 --> 00:29:46,787 Speaker 2: but I hope for your sake that your red and 594 00:29:46,867 --> 00:29:49,187 Speaker 2: black sides can both get the job done. Good to 595 00:29:49,267 --> 00:29:51,027 Speaker 2: chat to you, mate, Oh eight hundred and eighty ten 596 00:29:51,067 --> 00:29:53,747 Speaker 2: eighty nineteen away from one. Grant, George, please hold with 597 00:29:53,827 --> 00:29:55,747 Speaker 2: you after this one spear line if you would like 598 00:29:55,787 --> 00:29:58,027 Speaker 2: to jump aboard with back after this on Weekend Sport. 599 00:29:58,507 --> 00:30:02,547 Speaker 1: The Tough Questions after the Weekend Sport with Jason Pine 600 00:30:02,627 --> 00:30:05,387 Speaker 1: and GJ. Gunerholmes, New Zealand's Most. 601 00:30:05,267 --> 00:30:09,907 Speaker 2: Trusted home Builder sixteen to one, White cut to three 602 00:30:09,907 --> 00:30:11,947 Speaker 2: mill ahead of Canterbury in the Farer Pummer Cup Final 603 00:30:11,987 --> 00:30:14,347 Speaker 2: after five minutes and about to score their first try 604 00:30:14,427 --> 00:30:18,147 Speaker 2: to make it. No, they haven't quite got there. Now 605 00:30:18,307 --> 00:30:21,427 Speaker 2: they have got there. There you go eight nil with 606 00:30:21,507 --> 00:30:24,947 Speaker 2: the kick to come. So Murray you might need you 607 00:30:25,067 --> 00:30:26,627 Speaker 2: might need to come back from your Red and Blacks 608 00:30:26,827 --> 00:30:28,427 Speaker 2: eight meal kick to come six minutes gone in the 609 00:30:28,467 --> 00:30:31,067 Speaker 2: Fara Palma Cup final. Camera Reguards on the radio with 610 00:30:31,187 --> 00:30:32,907 Speaker 2: us after one o'clock. Grant, thanks for holding. 611 00:30:33,907 --> 00:30:37,547 Speaker 12: Yeah finally Yeah. Three years ago, I think most people 612 00:30:37,627 --> 00:30:41,387 Speaker 12: would probably agree that Latham should have been captain because 613 00:30:41,427 --> 00:30:44,747 Speaker 12: how these forms started to go down hill basically three 614 00:30:44,867 --> 00:30:47,747 Speaker 12: years ago when he was made captain, and then two 615 00:30:47,907 --> 00:30:50,427 Speaker 12: years ago his form was even worse than it was 616 00:30:50,707 --> 00:30:54,587 Speaker 12: three years ago. And last year on New Zealand's green wickets. 617 00:30:55,067 --> 00:30:58,707 Speaker 12: His form was absolutely diabolical. So I have to say 618 00:30:58,947 --> 00:31:02,587 Speaker 12: I wouldn't rate him even as the number four fast 619 00:31:02,627 --> 00:31:06,827 Speaker 12: bowler in New Zealand conditions on current form, and so 620 00:31:07,547 --> 00:31:10,187 Speaker 12: I don't think he should get a US Swan song. 621 00:31:10,267 --> 00:31:13,587 Speaker 12: I mean Scott Robertson said that Sam Caine wasn't pecked 622 00:31:13,667 --> 00:31:16,507 Speaker 12: on sentimentality. They get him through to one hundred, respected 623 00:31:16,547 --> 00:31:21,787 Speaker 12: because he was the best franker on form at the season. 624 00:31:22,027 --> 00:31:26,107 Speaker 12: And so I mean, I think there's one or two 625 00:31:26,907 --> 00:31:30,267 Speaker 12: provincial bowlers that possibly could be better than Southy. So 626 00:31:30,747 --> 00:31:34,827 Speaker 12: in my opinion, this would unless they bring him in, say, 627 00:31:35,427 --> 00:31:38,347 Speaker 12: give him some net sessions and he starts getting edges 628 00:31:38,467 --> 00:31:42,987 Speaker 12: and taking knocking stumps over and hiss Inland batsman at 629 00:31:43,107 --> 00:31:47,027 Speaker 12: net practice all over the place. I wouldn't pick him 630 00:31:47,027 --> 00:31:47,667 Speaker 12: against England. 631 00:31:48,467 --> 00:31:50,667 Speaker 2: Who are the provincial ballers who would perhaps be there 632 00:31:50,707 --> 00:31:51,307 Speaker 2: ahead of him. 633 00:31:52,347 --> 00:31:55,427 Speaker 12: I knew you would say that. I just said possibly, 634 00:31:55,547 --> 00:31:59,667 Speaker 12: I mean because this form is so bad. You know, 635 00:31:59,747 --> 00:32:04,027 Speaker 12: I don't know the exact figures of museum bowlers, but 636 00:32:04,307 --> 00:32:07,667 Speaker 12: well I have even started playing forget yet though possibly, 637 00:32:08,227 --> 00:32:11,667 Speaker 12: But I mean, with you honor his current form, the 638 00:32:11,787 --> 00:32:16,027 Speaker 12: last year, How could you justify picking him. 639 00:32:16,667 --> 00:32:20,347 Speaker 2: Not in Sri Lanka and India, absolutely not on in 640 00:32:20,427 --> 00:32:22,547 Speaker 2: New Zealand conditions. Okay, so let's say they go with 641 00:32:22,667 --> 00:32:26,067 Speaker 2: four seemers, which they probably will, as Rich and I 642 00:32:26,147 --> 00:32:27,947 Speaker 2: talked about before, And you may agree. I'd love to 643 00:32:27,987 --> 00:32:29,427 Speaker 2: see a spinner in there as well, but I don't 644 00:32:29,427 --> 00:32:31,267 Speaker 2: think they will. I think they're too conservative in their 645 00:32:31,267 --> 00:32:33,107 Speaker 2: selections at home to go with a spinner. So I 646 00:32:33,147 --> 00:32:36,107 Speaker 2: think they go four seemers. So clearly Matt Henry is one, 647 00:32:36,347 --> 00:32:39,667 Speaker 2: Will O'Rourke is another, and then you're down to the 648 00:32:39,947 --> 00:32:42,867 Speaker 2: likes of Ben Sears, who's still very green quick, but 649 00:32:43,067 --> 00:32:45,587 Speaker 2: I probably still have him in there. Kyle Jamison, we 650 00:32:45,667 --> 00:32:48,547 Speaker 2: don't know if he's fit or not. He seems to 651 00:32:48,627 --> 00:32:52,547 Speaker 2: continue breaking things, which is a great shame. Neil Wagner's gone. 652 00:32:52,587 --> 00:32:55,027 Speaker 2: I don't think you put Scott Kougelin in there. Jacob 653 00:32:55,147 --> 00:32:58,067 Speaker 2: Duffy's probably the best one of the rest. I'd have 654 00:32:58,187 --> 00:32:59,147 Speaker 2: Soudi in their grant. 655 00:33:01,307 --> 00:33:04,067 Speaker 12: Would you agree that he would have to show good 656 00:33:04,227 --> 00:33:08,027 Speaker 12: form in the nets to justify a match day selection, Then. 657 00:33:08,107 --> 00:33:10,987 Speaker 2: Yes, I agree, yeah, And I also and I also 658 00:33:11,027 --> 00:33:12,747 Speaker 2: think you don't say okay, I've got all three Tests. 659 00:33:12,787 --> 00:33:15,107 Speaker 2: I think he plays the first Test at Hagley. See 660 00:33:15,147 --> 00:33:16,867 Speaker 2: how he goes there, and if he bowls well there, 661 00:33:16,907 --> 00:33:19,787 Speaker 2: I think you keep him there. I'm unencumbered by the 662 00:33:19,867 --> 00:33:25,187 Speaker 2: captain C. My deep hope is that Tim Saudi rediscovers 663 00:33:25,227 --> 00:33:26,947 Speaker 2: the form which has had him at the top of 664 00:33:27,027 --> 00:33:29,707 Speaker 2: the cricketing tree for large parts of the last five 665 00:33:29,787 --> 00:33:31,667 Speaker 2: or six years. Yes, in the last two or three 666 00:33:31,707 --> 00:33:33,507 Speaker 2: years since he took the captain C. And you have 667 00:33:33,587 --> 00:33:36,547 Speaker 2: to make the correlation. It hasn't been there. Jill and Clever, 668 00:33:36,667 --> 00:33:38,427 Speaker 2: our good friend who often joins us on the show, 669 00:33:38,507 --> 00:33:42,747 Speaker 2: talks about a three for three wickets in a Test innings. 670 00:33:42,827 --> 00:33:45,107 Speaker 2: It's being like a fifty for a batsman and a 671 00:33:45,187 --> 00:33:47,587 Speaker 2: five for us like a century. The last time Tim 672 00:33:47,667 --> 00:33:51,067 Speaker 2: Soudy took three wickets in a Test innings was in 673 00:33:51,187 --> 00:33:53,267 Speaker 2: March of twenty twenty three, so we took an eighteen 674 00:33:53,347 --> 00:33:57,787 Speaker 2: months ago and there's been the best part of seven 675 00:33:57,867 --> 00:33:59,867 Speaker 2: or eight Test matches since that. The last time they 676 00:33:59,907 --> 00:34:02,507 Speaker 2: took a five for was in that same series. It 677 00:34:02,667 --> 00:34:04,987 Speaker 2: was he had just taken over as captain then, so 678 00:34:05,507 --> 00:34:07,907 Speaker 2: he started off really well, got seven wickets in christ 679 00:34:07,987 --> 00:34:10,667 Speaker 2: Church and then another four and Wellington in that series. 680 00:34:10,747 --> 00:34:13,307 Speaker 2: But from there it's been pretty slim pickings for Tim 681 00:34:13,387 --> 00:34:18,587 Speaker 2: Southiger's captain. I hope, unencumbered by the leadership responsibility, that 682 00:34:18,707 --> 00:34:20,787 Speaker 2: he comes right and we'll keep an eye at Grant 683 00:34:20,827 --> 00:34:23,907 Speaker 2: Good to chat to you. Hello, George good Piney, How 684 00:34:23,947 --> 00:34:25,147 Speaker 2: are you good? George good? 685 00:34:26,267 --> 00:34:26,427 Speaker 5: Hey. 686 00:34:26,507 --> 00:34:29,187 Speaker 9: I'm attempting to draw quite a long bow here, so 687 00:34:29,267 --> 00:34:31,787 Speaker 9: feel free to tell me if I'm clutching at straws. 688 00:34:31,827 --> 00:34:34,027 Speaker 2: But I love long bows. I love long bows. 689 00:34:34,067 --> 00:34:34,427 Speaker 10: Go for it. 690 00:34:35,147 --> 00:34:36,627 Speaker 9: I'll keep for your thoughts. Yet this is on the 691 00:34:36,627 --> 00:34:39,347 Speaker 9: back of your your really good view with Mike Brew 692 00:34:39,387 --> 00:34:41,667 Speaker 9: a couple of weeks ago around the Psyche of the 693 00:34:41,787 --> 00:34:43,907 Speaker 9: Orbles at the time. But you know, the last four 694 00:34:44,147 --> 00:34:47,387 Speaker 9: four weeks has seen the or Blecks give up big 695 00:34:47,507 --> 00:34:50,747 Speaker 9: leads over in Africa, the Silver Fairs, Netball the other night, 696 00:34:51,147 --> 00:34:54,307 Speaker 9: sort of give away leads in games they really should 697 00:34:54,307 --> 00:34:56,347 Speaker 9: have won. And obviously, as we're talking about now, the 698 00:34:56,387 --> 00:34:59,187 Speaker 9: black Cats give away a game and Trilink that they 699 00:34:59,227 --> 00:35:02,067 Speaker 9: really should have taken taken charge of, and maybe more 700 00:35:02,187 --> 00:35:04,827 Speaker 9: historically that that game over here against Australia where we 701 00:35:05,027 --> 00:35:08,467 Speaker 9: just we hit them very big time on the ropes, 702 00:35:08,507 --> 00:35:11,147 Speaker 9: and we didn't didn't take our chance. Do you think, Piney, 703 00:35:11,227 --> 00:35:15,467 Speaker 9: there is there's something worrying flowing through the high performance 704 00:35:16,067 --> 00:35:18,507 Speaker 9: pathways and mindsets of our athletes at the moment that 705 00:35:18,587 --> 00:35:22,587 Speaker 9: are just that are just lacking a ruthlessness or an 706 00:35:22,627 --> 00:35:25,667 Speaker 9: aggression or a confidence that is that is seeing us. 707 00:35:25,827 --> 00:35:28,627 Speaker 9: You know that that shows that there's a correlation in 708 00:35:28,667 --> 00:35:29,667 Speaker 9: all of those performances. 709 00:35:30,147 --> 00:35:32,147 Speaker 2: I don't think the bose too long, George. I don't 710 00:35:32,187 --> 00:35:34,027 Speaker 2: think you're drawing a long bow. As you were talking, 711 00:35:34,067 --> 00:35:37,187 Speaker 2: I wrote down feet on throats, and I just don't 712 00:35:37,307 --> 00:35:39,707 Speaker 2: know whether it's in our psyche to put our foot 713 00:35:39,747 --> 00:35:43,907 Speaker 2: on someone's throat and really pushed down consistently, Because you know, 714 00:35:44,547 --> 00:35:48,947 Speaker 2: you're right, it's maybe we're just too nice, well. 715 00:35:48,827 --> 00:35:51,107 Speaker 9: Exactly, And I know, and I know when I called 716 00:35:51,147 --> 00:35:54,227 Speaker 9: the other time, we talked a bit about the other's 717 00:35:54,227 --> 00:35:56,067 Speaker 9: trying to be a bit more like Brenda McCullum and 718 00:35:56,107 --> 00:35:58,787 Speaker 9: the Black Cats. But the thing about Brenda McCullum, you see, 719 00:35:58,867 --> 00:36:03,907 Speaker 9: installed a culture of playing fear, embracing the team, paying respects. 720 00:36:03,987 --> 00:36:06,027 Speaker 9: But he was tough and he had a look in 721 00:36:06,067 --> 00:36:08,227 Speaker 9: his eye that he could give and he could, and 722 00:36:08,347 --> 00:36:10,907 Speaker 9: he backed himself and he'd take no that good steps 723 00:36:10,987 --> 00:36:13,667 Speaker 9: to too fast bowlers and he'd take them on, you know, 724 00:36:13,787 --> 00:36:16,067 Speaker 9: and I think, you know, he found himself that captain 725 00:36:16,107 --> 00:36:18,387 Speaker 9: of Ben Stokes, who is exactly of that ilk. And 726 00:36:18,707 --> 00:36:22,547 Speaker 9: I just, you know, I've just reflected on our sports lot. 727 00:36:22,667 --> 00:36:25,427 Speaker 9: Are we too nice? Are we paying a little bit 728 00:36:25,467 --> 00:36:29,107 Speaker 9: too much respect to our oppositions and not not going 729 00:36:29,147 --> 00:36:30,987 Speaker 9: in for the kill when it really matters, Because those 730 00:36:31,027 --> 00:36:35,347 Speaker 9: three matches I just referred to, you know, we arguably 731 00:36:35,387 --> 00:36:36,947 Speaker 9: should have won all of those games, and we were 732 00:36:37,027 --> 00:36:38,627 Speaker 9: quick to talk at the end of them about the 733 00:36:38,707 --> 00:36:40,747 Speaker 9: quality of the opposition we were coming up against. But 734 00:36:40,827 --> 00:36:43,827 Speaker 9: the reality is we are there or thereabouts to win 735 00:36:43,947 --> 00:36:46,587 Speaker 9: those games, but we're not. We're not putting the foot 736 00:36:46,627 --> 00:36:48,747 Speaker 9: on the throat, as you say, plainting in the in 737 00:36:48,827 --> 00:36:51,507 Speaker 9: those critical times. And as much as I love lating 738 00:36:51,547 --> 00:36:53,547 Speaker 9: them and he's been a great seventh of our game, 739 00:36:53,587 --> 00:36:57,587 Speaker 9: he doesn't give off that that type of inspiration and 740 00:36:57,947 --> 00:37:00,787 Speaker 9: courageousness that he'll be aggressive and make those big players. 741 00:37:01,187 --> 00:37:04,907 Speaker 9: I think Phillips and to an extent, Darryl Mitchell are 742 00:37:04,947 --> 00:37:07,427 Speaker 9: two players in the black Caps there that have it. 743 00:37:07,547 --> 00:37:09,787 Speaker 9: I just don't think Mitchell's quite on top of his 744 00:37:09,907 --> 00:37:12,147 Speaker 9: game to command the captaincy, but he has got that 745 00:37:12,787 --> 00:37:16,867 Speaker 9: raw aggression to him and confidence that he bets himself. 746 00:37:16,987 --> 00:37:17,707 Speaker 13: Well what do you think? 747 00:37:18,147 --> 00:37:22,067 Speaker 2: Yeah, Mitchell's a really interesting one to me. I still 748 00:37:22,107 --> 00:37:23,907 Speaker 2: think back to that interview he did and maybe his 749 00:37:24,027 --> 00:37:25,827 Speaker 2: words were taking out of context when he said after 750 00:37:26,147 --> 00:37:28,427 Speaker 2: a loss to I think it was the first test 751 00:37:28,467 --> 00:37:31,267 Speaker 2: to Australia last summer when he said, you know, we 752 00:37:31,307 --> 00:37:33,907 Speaker 2: should be judged on more than just results, and at 753 00:37:33,947 --> 00:37:35,707 Speaker 2: the elite level. I don't agree with that at all. 754 00:37:35,827 --> 00:37:39,187 Speaker 2: I think you are judged on results. But he commands 755 00:37:39,227 --> 00:37:41,267 Speaker 2: his place in the side absolutely. I don't know. I 756 00:37:41,347 --> 00:37:43,547 Speaker 2: just like the idea of Glenn Pillip's moving forward. He 757 00:37:43,587 --> 00:37:46,587 Speaker 2: reminds me a bit of Brendan McCallum, and I wonder 758 00:37:46,627 --> 00:37:50,187 Speaker 2: what that would look like in a leadership since you know, yeah, exactly. 759 00:37:49,987 --> 00:37:52,307 Speaker 9: No, definitely, Hay and really quickly, because I know I'm 760 00:37:52,307 --> 00:37:53,987 Speaker 9: going to get booed off soon. I've been painting the 761 00:37:54,027 --> 00:37:56,987 Speaker 9: house the last eight weeks, so you've been a constant 762 00:37:57,147 --> 00:38:00,907 Speaker 9: source of companionship. I guess I call it over the 763 00:38:01,387 --> 00:38:03,667 Speaker 9: twelve to four pm slot, So I just wanted to say, mate, 764 00:38:03,787 --> 00:38:06,867 Speaker 9: you got you a brilliant job on talk back, your show, 765 00:38:06,987 --> 00:38:10,147 Speaker 9: love your your keen eye and judgment and and always 766 00:38:10,587 --> 00:38:12,307 Speaker 9: keep you to ring up. But hopefully this is the 767 00:38:12,387 --> 00:38:17,787 Speaker 9: last weekend with a paint brush in hands, so you've 768 00:38:17,787 --> 00:38:19,667 Speaker 9: got to call out good performances where they are and 769 00:38:19,747 --> 00:38:21,627 Speaker 9: your show is a second to none. 770 00:38:21,667 --> 00:38:25,707 Speaker 2: Finey, So that's lovely, George. The good The irony is 771 00:38:25,827 --> 00:38:27,187 Speaker 2: is that if I was there with you, we're a 772 00:38:27,267 --> 00:38:30,227 Speaker 2: paint brush, I would be bloody hopeless, I would be useless. 773 00:38:30,547 --> 00:38:32,747 Speaker 2: So I think I think the ability to keep your 774 00:38:32,747 --> 00:38:34,987 Speaker 2: company be all like it off of, mate, So thanks 775 00:38:35,027 --> 00:38:39,507 Speaker 2: for taking the time to call in, take it easy, 776 00:38:39,587 --> 00:38:41,107 Speaker 2: to your tape, the painting, all the rest of it 777 00:38:41,187 --> 00:38:43,787 Speaker 2: goes well.

I love the I love the deep thought 779 00:38:46,547 --> 00:38:50,267 Speaker 2: you gave to that to that opinion as well, good man, 780 00:38:50,507 --> 00:38:52,467 Speaker 2: seven to seven to one, you stalk se'd be back 781 00:38:52,467 --> 00:40:45,667 Speaker 2: after this. It was one of the all time great 782 00:40:45,867 --> 00:40:50,387 Speaker 2: examples of not being able to quite get across the line. 783 00:40:50,627 --> 00:40:52,587 Speaker 2: We were winning that race, weren't we. When the wind 784 00:40:52,667 --> 00:40:57,627 Speaker 2: dropped inexplicably, we would have won it, but as it 785 00:40:57,707 --> 00:41:00,867 Speaker 2: happened well eight one ahead losing nine to eight. E 786 00:41:00,907 --> 00:41:05,627 Speaker 2: very good example. America's Cup twenty twenty four. We've got 787 00:41:05,707 --> 00:41:11,147 Speaker 2: our challenging any Os Pretannia have beaten Luna Rossa seven 788 00:41:11,307 --> 00:41:14,027 Speaker 2: four in the final of the Louis Vuton Challenger Series. 789 00:41:14,067 --> 00:41:17,107 Speaker 2: So it'll be any Os Pretannia against Team New Zealand 790 00:41:17,187 --> 00:41:21,587 Speaker 2: for the thirty seventh America's Cup Final, starting next Sunday. 791 00:41:21,667 --> 00:41:24,347 Speaker 2: Mark ORMs Professor Mark ORMs after two actually on that, 792 00:41:24,947 --> 00:41:28,467 Speaker 2: on how we match up and whether whether we might 793 00:41:28,547 --> 00:41:30,827 Speaker 2: be going in a bit cold. We've hardly raced. We 794 00:41:30,907 --> 00:41:34,587 Speaker 2: haven't raced promptly. We had some races in the Louis 795 00:41:34,627 --> 00:41:37,507 Speaker 2: Vton early stages, but just to just to kind of 796 00:41:37,507 --> 00:41:40,467 Speaker 2: get out there really. Meantime, any Ospretenna have been racing, 797 00:41:41,147 --> 00:41:43,547 Speaker 2: you know, full on a hard out for quite a 798 00:41:43,587 --> 00:41:45,827 Speaker 2: while now.

And I guess, yeah, just with that 837 00:43:38,307 --> 00:43:40,427 Speaker 14: fiction and extension when it sort of felt like glass 838 00:43:40,427 --> 00:43:43,267 Speaker 14: because I hadn't moved it for so long. And yeah, 839 00:43:43,267 --> 00:43:46,867 Speaker 14: everything with that wire and was a challenge.

I 980 00:49:58,627 --> 00:50:00,147 Speaker 14: guess the preparation going to this week. 981 00:50:00,547 --> 00:50:03,187 Speaker 2: How did you go watching rugby, watching the Hurricanes play, 982 00:50:03,267 --> 00:50:05,907 Speaker 2: watching the All Blacks play, How was that? 983 00:50:06,467 --> 00:50:07,547 Speaker 15: Yeah? 984 00:50:07,587 --> 00:50:09,307 Speaker 14: It was obviously challenging with the Hurricane. 985 00:50:09,707 --> 00:50:11,547 Speaker 13: I was really enjoying the season that we're having. 986 00:50:11,667 --> 00:50:14,027 Speaker 14: You know, We've had a great team, great teammates, and 987 00:50:14,147 --> 00:50:16,187 Speaker 14: we play an awesome brand of hoodie that suits. 988 00:50:15,947 --> 00:50:16,787 Speaker 9: The way I like to play. 989 00:50:16,907 --> 00:50:20,107 Speaker 14: So yeah, obviously when I was injured, it was pretty 990 00:50:20,107 --> 00:50:23,387 Speaker 14: hard to watch initially, but you know, we still had 991 00:50:23,387 --> 00:50:26,067 Speaker 14: an awesome year. Probably didn't well, we obviously didn't get 992 00:50:26,067 --> 00:50:29,547 Speaker 14: the result they were after, but you know, I'm had 993 00:50:29,627 --> 00:50:31,787 Speaker 14: full face that we'll be able to, you know, back 994 00:50:31,907 --> 00:50:34,827 Speaker 14: up similar performances and build on the year. Just being so, 995 00:50:36,507 --> 00:50:38,987 Speaker 14: I guess, like I say, it's just sport and everyone 996 00:50:39,107 --> 00:50:40,947 Speaker 14: you know has their injuries and all that sort of stuff. 997 00:50:40,987 --> 00:50:42,987 Speaker 14: So just I guess it's one of those things, which 998 00:50:43,147 --> 00:50:45,547 Speaker 14: it is what it is, but certain thing with the 999 00:50:45,587 --> 00:50:47,027 Speaker 14: All Blacks, you know, like I feel like if I 1000 00:50:47,147 --> 00:50:49,027 Speaker 14: was available, I'd be able to add some value where 1001 00:50:49,067 --> 00:50:51,987 Speaker 14: I can. But I haven't had too much time to 1002 00:50:52,027 --> 00:50:54,107 Speaker 14: sort of dwell, and I quite enjoyed being a fan actually, 1003 00:50:54,787 --> 00:50:56,187 Speaker 14: Like there's always a team that I looked up to 1004 00:50:56,267 --> 00:50:58,707 Speaker 14: and love watching. So being able to, I guess, do 1005 00:50:58,907 --> 00:51:02,947 Speaker 14: that again from a different perspective has been great. And yeah, 1006 00:51:02,987 --> 00:51:05,107 Speaker 14: if I do get an opportunity to be back in 1007 00:51:05,187 --> 00:51:08,307 Speaker 14: the mix for the same Northern, You're pretty excited. 1008 00:51:08,787 --> 00:51:11,867 Speaker 2: Well, congrats on nailing your rehab cam almost of the day. 1009 00:51:13,387 --> 00:51:16,587 Speaker 2: It's a real demonstration of following the process. Mate, congrats 1010 00:51:16,627 --> 00:51:18,667 Speaker 2: on that all the best this afternoon. Thanks for taking 1011 00:51:18,667 --> 00:51:21,547 Speaker 2: the time for a chat. Awesome, I thank you, Cam 1012 00:51:21,627 --> 00:51:25,067 Speaker 2: cam Roy guard there about to return for Counties Manico 1013 00:51:25,147 --> 00:51:27,867 Speaker 2: against Manawatu this afternoon. Of Parmeston or five pass to 1014 00:51:27,987 --> 00:51:29,947 Speaker 2: that game kicks off, he'll come off the bench, as 1015 00:51:30,027 --> 00:51:32,547 Speaker 2: will Dalton Papa Lee in that game. A bunch of 1016 00:51:32,667 --> 00:51:34,987 Speaker 2: All Blacks have been released back to their provinces for 1017 00:51:35,307 --> 00:51:40,827 Speaker 2: games this weekend. You Cam mentioned there that Counties they 1018 00:51:40,867 --> 00:51:43,427 Speaker 2: are still in the mix for a quarter final spot. 1019 00:51:43,427 --> 00:51:45,787 Speaker 2: I've just been looking at the table. So Counties currently 1020 00:51:45,827 --> 00:51:49,907 Speaker 2: have twenty three points. They're sitting in ninth place. Canterbury 1021 00:51:50,027 --> 00:51:54,387 Speaker 2: are eighth, Otago are seventh and Whiticutto are sixth. Now, 1022 00:51:54,587 --> 00:51:57,507 Speaker 2: Otago won last night, but that's it for them. They're done. 1023 00:51:57,987 --> 00:52:02,027 Speaker 2: So if Counties win this afternoon, they'll go one point 1024 00:52:02,067 --> 00:52:07,827 Speaker 2: ahead of Otago and I don't think can be caught. 1025 00:52:08,067 --> 00:52:11,187 Speaker 2: They can be caught by North Harbor. If North Harbor 1026 00:52:11,227 --> 00:52:15,867 Speaker 2: win their final match of the MPC, they can be 1027 00:52:15,947 --> 00:52:17,547 Speaker 2: caught by North Harbor. Just stay with me on this 1028 00:52:17,627 --> 00:52:20,347 Speaker 2: because it's a little bit it's a little bit complicated, 1029 00:52:20,787 --> 00:52:27,347 Speaker 2: but Southland play North Harbor this afternoon. If North Harbor 1030 00:52:27,347 --> 00:52:30,347 Speaker 2: get a bonus point, they'll go past counties. Of counties 1031 00:52:30,387 --> 00:52:32,147 Speaker 2: don't get a bonus point. I'm not going to even 1032 00:52:32,147 --> 00:52:35,267 Speaker 2: try and explain this. It's so much easier for you 1033 00:52:35,427 --> 00:52:36,867 Speaker 2: just to look at the table and work it out. 1034 00:52:36,947 --> 00:52:39,587 Speaker 2: But it feels to me if Counties Manicaw win with 1035 00:52:39,627 --> 00:52:42,827 Speaker 2: a bonus point this afternoon, they'll play quarterfinals. So that'll 1036 00:52:42,867 --> 00:52:45,307 Speaker 2: give cam Rouygud another game next week, which is kind 1037 00:52:45,307 --> 00:52:47,067 Speaker 2: of what we're after. Ready, at least one game anyway 1038 00:52:47,107 --> 00:52:50,027 Speaker 2: before that before they take off the team for the 1039 00:52:50,147 --> 00:52:52,387 Speaker 2: Northern Tour. Incidentally, the All Blacks team for the Northern 1040 00:52:52,427 --> 00:52:55,707 Speaker 2: Tour is named on Monday two o'clock Monday afternoon, so 1041 00:52:55,787 --> 00:52:57,467 Speaker 2: we'll break it all down for you on Sports Talk 1042 00:52:57,547 --> 00:53:00,107 Speaker 2: on Monday night. But I mean, we all know cam 1043 00:53:00,187 --> 00:53:02,147 Speaker 2: Roygad is going to be in that team provided he 1044 00:53:02,227 --> 00:53:04,627 Speaker 2: comes through this afternoon, all right, And that just got 1045 00:53:04,667 --> 00:53:06,907 Speaker 2: me to thinking he's only played five test match? Is 1046 00:53:06,947 --> 00:53:10,787 Speaker 2: cam roy guard He's not an established a back All 1047 00:53:10,827 --> 00:53:13,867 Speaker 2: Black by any stretch of the imagination. You remember last 1048 00:53:13,987 --> 00:53:16,947 Speaker 2: year he wasn't even picked for the big games at 1049 00:53:16,987 --> 00:53:21,707 Speaker 2: the Rugby World Cup. He played against Namibia, Italy and 1050 00:53:21,947 --> 00:53:25,747 Speaker 2: Uruguay in paul play, but Finlay Christie was preferred to 1051 00:53:25,867 --> 00:53:28,627 Speaker 2: him in the quarterfinal, the semi final and the final. 1052 00:53:29,147 --> 00:53:32,627 Speaker 2: So and before that he debuted against Australia in Melbourne 1053 00:53:32,667 --> 00:53:35,827 Speaker 2: in the Rugby Championship and then also the try we 1054 00:53:35,987 --> 00:53:38,187 Speaker 2: just played for you there was when he came off 1055 00:53:38,227 --> 00:53:41,107 Speaker 2: the bench against South Africa in that game at Twickenham 1056 00:53:41,147 --> 00:53:44,947 Speaker 2: before the World Cup. So he hasn't rarely played a lot, 1057 00:53:45,107 --> 00:53:49,907 Speaker 2: but such has been his impact on the side and 1058 00:53:50,107 --> 00:53:54,707 Speaker 2: particularly his super rugby form that cam Roy Guard's basically 1059 00:53:54,747 --> 00:53:59,787 Speaker 2: our number one half back, isn't he. If everybody's fit 1060 00:54:00,627 --> 00:54:04,507 Speaker 2: and looking at this end of year tour, everybody will 1061 00:54:04,587 --> 00:54:07,827 Speaker 2: be came Roy Gard. It's the number one half back, 1062 00:54:07,907 --> 00:54:10,667 Speaker 2: isn't he. This has also got me thinking about the 1063 00:54:10,787 --> 00:54:13,507 Speaker 2: makeup of this end of year Tour squad for the 1064 00:54:13,587 --> 00:54:19,067 Speaker 2: All Blacks, because they'll only take three half backs and 1065 00:54:19,147 --> 00:54:20,987 Speaker 2: there are four in the mix. From what I can see, 1066 00:54:21,747 --> 00:54:25,347 Speaker 2: there's the three who have played the Rugby Championship, TJ Petanada, 1067 00:54:25,707 --> 00:54:30,507 Speaker 2: Cortez Ratima, Noah Hotham and add Cameroy Garden there, So 1068 00:54:30,587 --> 00:54:33,387 Speaker 2: there's four half backs, they're only going to take three, 1069 00:54:34,667 --> 00:54:38,147 Speaker 2: So who doesn't go We're going to actually break this 1070 00:54:38,227 --> 00:54:40,947 Speaker 2: down tomorrow. I'm going to go into more detail on this, 1071 00:54:41,067 --> 00:54:44,987 Speaker 2: particularly around around the half back position and also around 1072 00:54:45,027 --> 00:54:50,347 Speaker 2: the open side flanker conversation as well with Sam kin 1073 00:54:51,827 --> 00:54:55,547 Speaker 2: So does TJ Peanada go on that tour? Does Sam 1074 00:54:55,667 --> 00:54:57,267 Speaker 2: Kine go on that tour? Given the fact that we 1075 00:54:57,427 --> 00:55:01,187 Speaker 2: know neither of them are going to be here beyond 1076 00:55:01,227 --> 00:55:03,067 Speaker 2: the end of this year. I don't want to get 1077 00:55:03,107 --> 00:55:06,907 Speaker 2: into it too much now, but want to talk about 1078 00:55:06,947 --> 00:55:09,787 Speaker 2: it tomorrow. Karen. Any thoughts on Cameray guard? 1079 00:55:10,947 --> 00:55:11,067 Speaker 11: Uh? 1080 00:55:11,787 --> 00:55:16,187 Speaker 16: Yeah, mate, Yeah, I just just he is saying, all 1081 00:55:16,187 --> 00:55:18,267 Speaker 16: we guards coming back into the mat. But you know, 1082 00:55:18,707 --> 00:55:22,707 Speaker 16: Courtis has been playing some pretty good footing one so 1083 00:55:23,547 --> 00:55:24,827 Speaker 16: you know it's going to be it's going to be 1084 00:55:24,907 --> 00:55:27,227 Speaker 16: tough for him to come back, especially after that sort 1085 00:55:27,227 --> 00:55:30,387 Speaker 16: of injury and make a name for himself again, That's 1086 00:55:30,427 --> 00:55:33,187 Speaker 16: all I'm thinking, And especially TJ coming off the bench, 1087 00:55:33,227 --> 00:55:35,107 Speaker 16: he's he's had pretty good impacts. 1088 00:55:35,147 --> 00:55:36,507 Speaker 4: It's going to be pretty tough for him. 1089 00:55:37,147 --> 00:55:40,347 Speaker 2: Oh look, I agreed, No, Karen, I agree. Look, I 1090 00:55:40,787 --> 00:55:43,547 Speaker 2: you know, without wanting to put the car before the horse. 1091 00:55:43,867 --> 00:55:46,227 Speaker 2: As long as Camerga gets through today, okay, he'll be 1092 00:55:46,307 --> 00:55:48,707 Speaker 2: on that tour. But you're right, I'd take I'd take 1093 00:55:48,787 --> 00:55:52,067 Speaker 2: t J cam and Cortez, but but I don't know 1094 00:55:52,667 --> 00:55:55,547 Speaker 2: how I would play it in terms of each Test 1095 00:55:55,627 --> 00:55:58,107 Speaker 2: match as a double punch. I think beyond this year, 1096 00:55:58,627 --> 00:55:59,987 Speaker 2: I think we can look forward to a camera re 1097 00:56:00,107 --> 00:56:03,227 Speaker 2: guard Cortez ram double punch with Nulla. Hope them there 1098 00:56:03,267 --> 00:56:05,627 Speaker 2: as well. That's very exciting, but the back end of 1099 00:56:05,667 --> 00:56:07,347 Speaker 2: the year's fastened to me, mate, I don't know how 1100 00:56:07,347 --> 00:56:08,987 Speaker 2: they're going to do it in terms of who gets 1101 00:56:09,027 --> 00:56:09,547 Speaker 2: what jerseys. 1102 00:56:10,507 --> 00:56:13,947 Speaker 16: Oh yeah, look one hundred percent. I think Cortez has 1103 00:56:13,947 --> 00:56:16,867 Speaker 16: done enough to cement himself and that nine jersey and 1104 00:56:16,947 --> 00:56:20,507 Speaker 16: lo you said he's rugs, not an established All Black. 1105 00:56:20,587 --> 00:56:24,227 Speaker 16: He did have an outstanding start to his AB's career. 1106 00:56:24,307 --> 00:56:27,307 Speaker 16: But you just got to look at me and him 1107 00:56:27,347 --> 00:56:30,547 Speaker 16: on a scudder when he heard that injury. It's it's man, 1108 00:56:30,627 --> 00:56:32,067 Speaker 16: It's tough to come back from those times. 1109 00:56:32,667 --> 00:56:34,627 Speaker 2: It is a good thoughts. Karen, Thanks make yeah, because 1110 00:56:34,707 --> 00:56:36,067 Speaker 2: we're going to discuss it more on the show tomorrow. 1111 00:56:36,067 --> 00:56:37,667 Speaker 2: If you get the opportunity to listen, in to Colin 1112 00:56:38,067 --> 00:56:40,227 Speaker 2: after midday.

But at the 1120 00:57:00,267 --> 00:57:01,667 Speaker 2: end of this year you've got to add t J 1121 00:57:01,787 --> 00:57:04,987 Speaker 2: Pedinada into that mix as well.

I've actually watched about 1149 00:58:25,307 --> 00:58:28,627 Speaker 10: his last five games and I cannot understand why he's 1150 00:58:28,667 --> 00:58:31,187 Speaker 10: not in the mix. He's in my way, I think, 1151 00:58:31,227 --> 00:58:33,987 Speaker 10: and he's better than all those for Finlake. 1152 00:58:34,027 --> 00:58:38,787 Speaker 2: Christie, Yeah, he's playing well. I'll give you that. For Tasman. 1153 00:58:38,867 --> 00:58:41,627 Speaker 2: I'm not sure that he really secured his place when 1154 00:58:41,667 --> 00:58:44,227 Speaker 2: he played for the All Blacks earlier this year. KB. 1155 00:58:44,747 --> 00:58:47,187 Speaker 2: I think he's still worthy of being in the conversation. 1156 00:58:47,307 --> 00:58:50,067 Speaker 2: I just wonder whether he's been overtaken by the blokes 1157 00:58:50,187 --> 00:58:53,707 Speaker 2: like cortiez Latma, Noah Hotham and came Roy Guard coming back. 1158 00:58:53,747 --> 00:58:56,387 Speaker 2: I just don't know whether there's room for Finlay Christie. 1159 00:58:57,187 --> 00:59:00,787 Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I can't see why I watched all those 1160 00:59:00,867 --> 00:59:04,947 Speaker 10: guys play. I think he's way faraster. He's more aggressive. 1161 00:59:05,147 --> 00:59:10,747 Speaker 10: He's the Night four when you need them back, wouldn't 1162 00:59:10,787 --> 00:59:12,707 Speaker 10: coming forward to get in there and the dirty stuff, 1163 00:59:12,747 --> 00:59:16,107 Speaker 10: do you know what I mean? It's got great tacking 1164 00:59:16,187 --> 00:59:21,107 Speaker 10: ability as passes, brilliant and it's quicker speedwise. So I 1165 00:59:21,427 --> 00:59:24,387 Speaker 10: think he might have dirtied the coffee book somewhere with Razor. 1166 00:59:25,867 --> 00:59:29,307 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that, Kab. Look what I'll be 1167 00:59:29,347 --> 00:59:31,987 Speaker 2: interested in seeing is what they do at Tasman when 1168 00:59:32,027 --> 00:59:34,267 Speaker 2: Noah Hope Them comes back. I haven't seen the Tasman 1169 00:59:34,347 --> 00:59:36,547 Speaker 2: team named. I'm sure it has been named for the 1170 00:59:36,627 --> 00:59:41,547 Speaker 2: Shield Challenge tomorrow. I presume Christy will start and Hope 1171 00:59:41,587 --> 00:59:43,307 Speaker 2: Them will come off the bench. I thought it was 1172 00:59:43,347 --> 00:59:47,267 Speaker 2: really interesting during the last month or so when they 1173 00:59:48,227 --> 00:59:51,787 Speaker 2: released All Blacks back to their provinces, they didn't they 1174 00:59:51,827 --> 00:59:56,307 Speaker 2: didn't release Noah Hotham back to Tasman, and I just 1175 00:59:56,387 --> 00:59:59,667 Speaker 2: wondered at the time whether that might be because they 1176 01:00:00,707 --> 01:00:04,867 Speaker 2: wanted to avoid any any possible awkwardness with Christy having 1177 01:00:04,907 --> 01:00:06,867 Speaker 2: been dropped from the All Blacks and potentially dropped from 1178 01:00:06,907 --> 01:00:09,267 Speaker 2: the Tasman side as well. Just checking the team. Yeah, 1179 01:00:09,347 --> 01:00:12,027 Speaker 2: Christy's gonna start Noah Hope them off the bench and 1180 01:00:12,067 --> 01:00:14,627 Speaker 2: the Shield Challenge tomorrow. It's a good point you make, KB. 1181 01:00:15,387 --> 01:00:16,787 Speaker 2: You know, I think maybe we've forgotten a bit about 1182 01:00:16,787 --> 01:00:18,627 Speaker 2: from Lake Christie. Does he have a future in the 1183 01:00:18,667 --> 01:00:21,907 Speaker 2: All Blacks. He may well, we'll see what happens on 1184 01:00:21,987 --> 01:00:25,467 Speaker 2: Monday at two o'clock. Thanks for taking the time to 1185 01:00:25,627 --> 01:00:30,627 Speaker 2: call in. It's twenty nine to two weekends.

Aleise Andrews intense, 1194 01:00:56,627 --> 01:01:01,427 Speaker 17: incisive and vincible at the Paris Valodrome. Too much power 1195 01:01:01,707 --> 01:01:02,947 Speaker 17: and too much pinash. 1196 01:01:03,107 --> 01:01:05,027 Speaker 2: And then she went on to win gold again in 1197 01:01:05,107 --> 01:01:06,267 Speaker 2: the individual sprint. 1198 01:01:06,587 --> 01:01:12,267 Speaker 17: As Andrews cows up the track starting a move, they 1199 01:01:12,387 --> 01:01:17,347 Speaker 17: worked their way around of the home straight away goes 1200 01:01:17,347 --> 01:01:22,187 Speaker 17: Alise Andrews up against Leah Friedrich.

I'm still thinking 1220 01:02:19,387 --> 01:02:21,907 Speaker 19: on that, so we'll see, all right. 1221 01:02:22,267 --> 01:02:24,707 Speaker 2: With a few weeks to reflect back on Paris, what 1222 01:02:24,907 --> 01:02:26,627 Speaker 2: stands out the most when you think back? 1223 01:02:27,907 --> 01:02:30,467 Speaker 19: Yeah, I think it's it's really been quite nice having 1224 01:02:30,547 --> 01:02:33,387 Speaker 19: this time and space to really reflect on the games. 1225 01:02:33,427 --> 01:02:36,827 Speaker 19: And that's like quite a pattern for me. I feel historically, 1226 01:02:36,947 --> 01:02:39,107 Speaker 19: you know, just needing to take some time for myself 1227 01:02:39,147 --> 01:02:42,627 Speaker 19: to really think about think about the racing and reflects properly. 1228 01:02:42,707 --> 01:02:45,147 Speaker 19: So I'm really grateful to have had that time. And yeah, 1229 01:02:45,147 --> 01:02:47,627 Speaker 19: it's really special to look back. And I don't know 1230 01:02:47,707 --> 01:02:49,867 Speaker 19: if I can pay one memorable moment, but the whole 1231 01:02:49,907 --> 01:02:50,747 Speaker 19: thing was just crazy. 1232 01:02:51,147 --> 01:02:55,027 Speaker 2: What were your hopes, your expectations, your goals going into Paris? 1233 01:02:56,867 --> 01:02:59,547 Speaker 18: Yes, I knew it was going to be a massive week. 1234 01:03:00,147 --> 01:03:01,987 Speaker 19: You know, with six days of racing out of seven, 1235 01:03:02,507 --> 01:03:04,747 Speaker 19: it was going to be so tough, and so I 1236 01:03:04,827 --> 01:03:06,627 Speaker 19: knew that going in, So I really just wanted to 1237 01:03:06,747 --> 01:03:09,467 Speaker 19: race every race day as fast as I could. And 1238 01:03:09,547 --> 01:03:11,547 Speaker 19: you know, in the individual races, that meant that I'd 1239 01:03:11,667 --> 01:03:15,387 Speaker 19: be continuing to progress through the racing and hopefully make 1240 01:03:15,467 --> 01:03:17,787 Speaker 19: it to the finals and that top spot. 1241 01:03:17,627 --> 01:03:18,187 Speaker 18: As a dream. 1242 01:03:18,707 --> 01:03:21,227 Speaker 19: But with the team, you know, we were rarely wanting 1243 01:03:21,347 --> 01:03:23,467 Speaker 19: to hunt down a meddle, and we know that we 1244 01:03:23,827 --> 01:03:26,467 Speaker 19: could be there if we put our best performance forward, 1245 01:03:27,067 --> 01:03:28,787 Speaker 19: which we did on the day, and you know, getting 1246 01:03:28,827 --> 01:03:30,547 Speaker 19: that silver medal was very special. 1247 01:03:31,307 --> 01:03:33,667 Speaker 2: Did the order of the events suit too? And when 1248 01:03:33,707 --> 01:03:35,627 Speaker 2: you look back to the order in which they fell, 1249 01:03:35,707 --> 01:03:38,067 Speaker 2: did that actually plan in your favor or did it not? 1250 01:03:39,027 --> 01:03:39,907 Speaker 19: I feel like it doesn't. 1251 01:03:39,947 --> 01:03:41,667 Speaker 18: I mean, it's nice to have the team event first. 1252 01:03:41,747 --> 01:03:44,067 Speaker 19: I do actually really like the order, having the team 1253 01:03:44,147 --> 01:03:47,307 Speaker 19: event over one day and first, but the order of 1254 01:03:47,347 --> 01:03:50,787 Speaker 19: the individual events probably not. But maybe that's just because 1255 01:03:50,827 --> 01:03:53,867 Speaker 19: I'm used to it, Like I've raced that format a 1256 01:03:53,907 --> 01:03:57,507 Speaker 19: couple of times before Tokyo that the Karen was first 1257 01:03:57,547 --> 01:04:00,427 Speaker 19: and then this was second. Last year's Worlds was the same, 1258 01:04:00,547 --> 01:04:03,267 Speaker 19: and this year's Games was the same, so potentially I'm just. 1259 01:04:03,387 --> 01:04:03,707 Speaker 8: Used to it. 1260 01:04:04,507 --> 01:04:07,467 Speaker 2: The Karen, did you always feel and control once you 1261 01:04:07,547 --> 01:04:09,787 Speaker 2: got to the back end of the care and event? 1262 01:04:10,867 --> 01:04:11,067 Speaker 8: Yeah? 1263 01:04:11,187 --> 01:04:14,667 Speaker 19: Yeah, I felt really really calm and controlled throughout the 1264 01:04:14,707 --> 01:04:17,747 Speaker 19: whole competition. You know, maybe getting that first rack out 1265 01:04:17,747 --> 01:04:20,547 Speaker 19: other way is always quite a nice feeling, but you know, 1266 01:04:20,707 --> 01:04:22,867 Speaker 19: after that, I really did feel like I could just 1267 01:04:23,507 --> 01:04:25,827 Speaker 19: you know, sort of breathe and relax into my racing 1268 01:04:25,987 --> 01:04:29,507 Speaker 19: and make the best decisions possible was what was happening 1269 01:04:29,587 --> 01:04:31,987 Speaker 19: around me, And so I did feel really calm and 1270 01:04:32,067 --> 01:04:34,947 Speaker 19: in control and I but obviously and coming into the final, 1271 01:04:35,027 --> 01:04:38,067 Speaker 19: that was just I just gave it absolutely everything I had. 1272 01:04:38,347 --> 01:04:40,507 Speaker 18: There was no control in the final. 1273 01:04:41,027 --> 01:04:43,627 Speaker 2: You just have to go full guests, Is that one 1274 01:04:43,667 --> 01:04:46,147 Speaker 2: of the one of the keys to it, to leaving 1275 01:04:46,267 --> 01:04:47,827 Speaker 2: enough in the tank that when it comes to that 1276 01:04:47,987 --> 01:04:50,427 Speaker 2: final you can just give it absolutely everything. 1277 01:04:51,507 --> 01:04:51,667 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1278 01:04:51,707 --> 01:04:54,147 Speaker 19: I think if that's possible then yes. And that's something 1279 01:04:54,227 --> 01:04:56,827 Speaker 19: that I don't think I have done very well in 1280 01:04:56,907 --> 01:04:59,307 Speaker 19: the past. And I think that's just an age saying 1281 01:04:59,427 --> 01:05:02,387 Speaker 19: and experience is really kind of reading the race and 1282 01:05:02,947 --> 01:05:05,267 Speaker 19: you know, not using all of your energy to get 1283 01:05:05,307 --> 01:05:07,787 Speaker 19: to the finish line first. They are smart ways to race, 1284 01:05:08,267 --> 01:05:10,147 Speaker 19: and so that's kind of a change that I really 1285 01:05:10,187 --> 01:05:12,947 Speaker 19: did feel this games is that I could make those 1286 01:05:13,227 --> 01:05:16,107 Speaker 19: just tiny, tiny decisions that would I mean, they had 1287 01:05:16,107 --> 01:05:16,667 Speaker 19: a little bit more. 1288 01:05:16,707 --> 01:05:18,747 Speaker 2: And if you left at the end, I think you 1289 01:05:18,827 --> 01:05:21,107 Speaker 2: were I presume this is true and you might be 1290 01:05:21,147 --> 01:05:22,867 Speaker 2: able to tell me that you were probably favorite for 1291 01:05:22,907 --> 01:05:26,787 Speaker 2: the Karen, did that give you any extra pressure or motivation? 1292 01:05:26,947 --> 01:05:29,107 Speaker 2: How did that make you feel that really people thought 1293 01:05:29,147 --> 01:05:30,147 Speaker 2: that you were the one who was going to be 1294 01:05:30,187 --> 01:05:31,027 Speaker 2: on the top of the podium. 1295 01:05:32,467 --> 01:05:35,387 Speaker 18: Oh, thank you? Maybe a little bit. 1296 01:05:35,467 --> 01:05:39,387 Speaker 19: I think that also, I'm not sure because there were 1297 01:05:39,467 --> 01:05:41,827 Speaker 19: quite a few girls that we talked about for that 1298 01:05:41,947 --> 01:05:45,547 Speaker 19: sort of that glory top spot and so and it 1299 01:05:45,667 --> 01:05:47,827 Speaker 19: wasn't always it wasn't always me. So I feel like 1300 01:05:47,867 --> 01:05:51,267 Speaker 19: it wasn't crazy, crazy pressure at least I felt anyway, 1301 01:05:51,307 --> 01:05:56,027 Speaker 19: because realistically there were many girls that you know, could 1302 01:05:56,107 --> 01:05:59,347 Speaker 19: push for that top spot, and the media in different 1303 01:05:59,387 --> 01:06:01,307 Speaker 19: countries obviously were favoring their athletes. 1304 01:06:01,427 --> 01:06:05,427 Speaker 18: So yeah, so I didn't always feel that feel that pressure. 1305 01:06:05,707 --> 01:06:07,547 Speaker 2: What about the I mean, with all due respect, I'm 1306 01:06:07,547 --> 01:06:09,507 Speaker 2: not sure that you were absolute favorite for the sprint. 1307 01:06:09,547 --> 01:06:10,867 Speaker 2: You were probably one of the bunch. You were a 1308 01:06:10,907 --> 01:06:12,867 Speaker 2: bunch of one of a bunch of writers who may 1309 01:06:12,947 --> 01:06:14,427 Speaker 2: or may not be there. So how did you approach 1310 01:06:14,587 --> 01:06:14,947 Speaker 2: the sprint. 1311 01:06:15,827 --> 01:06:19,587 Speaker 19: Yeah, I definitely wasn't a favorite, but you know, I 1312 01:06:19,667 --> 01:06:22,347 Speaker 19: approached it knowing that I needed to. 1313 01:06:22,587 --> 01:06:26,107 Speaker 18: Qualify further up the field than I have historically. 1314 01:06:26,267 --> 01:06:28,347 Speaker 19: So in the past, you know, I've sort of been 1315 01:06:28,347 --> 01:06:32,627 Speaker 19: around that maybe eighth to eleventh place qualifying from the 1316 01:06:32,667 --> 01:06:34,547 Speaker 19: two hundred, and then I've had to race my way 1317 01:06:35,027 --> 01:06:38,867 Speaker 19: up into into the top positions, which is a really 1318 01:06:38,947 --> 01:06:39,907 Speaker 19: tough way to do things. 1319 01:06:40,027 --> 01:06:41,667 Speaker 18: But you know, we've done a lot of work on 1320 01:06:41,747 --> 01:06:42,547 Speaker 18: that two hundred. 1321 01:06:42,387 --> 01:06:45,427 Speaker 19: In the last a little while, and so I knew 1322 01:06:45,467 --> 01:06:47,907 Speaker 19: that if I could get that right and nail that, 1323 01:06:48,147 --> 01:06:50,707 Speaker 19: then I would qualify further up in the field. So 1324 01:06:50,827 --> 01:06:53,307 Speaker 19: that was the first box to tick, and then from 1325 01:06:53,547 --> 01:06:55,507 Speaker 19: from that point on it was just you know, focusing 1326 01:06:55,787 --> 01:06:56,627 Speaker 19: one race at a time. 1327 01:06:56,747 --> 01:06:58,427 Speaker 18: And yeah, I wasn't a favorite. 1328 01:06:58,427 --> 01:07:03,267 Speaker 19: It was definitely an upset that I was in the 1329 01:07:03,307 --> 01:07:05,747 Speaker 19: final ahead of some of some of the other girls, 1330 01:07:05,787 --> 01:07:08,147 Speaker 19: but yeah, just the what it happens. 1331 01:07:08,707 --> 01:07:11,667 Speaker 2: I think some of my favorite images of Paris are 1332 01:07:11,707 --> 01:07:15,747 Speaker 2: you staring down Leah Friedrich before the sprint final. Do 1333 01:07:15,827 --> 01:07:19,387 Speaker 2: you do you enjoy that side of the event that 1334 01:07:19,707 --> 01:07:22,387 Speaker 2: I don't know whether it's psyching someone out or do 1335 01:07:22,427 --> 01:07:23,947 Speaker 2: you do you enjoy that sort of thing though? 1336 01:07:24,787 --> 01:07:27,867 Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean it is Sprinting is a bit interesting. 1337 01:07:28,907 --> 01:07:32,507 Speaker 18: Sport and interesting you know discipline, and you know that 1338 01:07:32,747 --> 01:07:33,587 Speaker 18: is part of it, and. 1339 01:07:33,627 --> 01:07:36,067 Speaker 19: I think it's not always just like freak someone out, 1340 01:07:36,147 --> 01:07:38,707 Speaker 19: you know, like I do have to have eyes on 1341 01:07:38,827 --> 01:07:40,547 Speaker 19: my opponent at all times, and I think for me 1342 01:07:40,627 --> 01:07:43,427 Speaker 19: that's like a nice mental switch is to have that 1343 01:07:44,907 --> 01:07:47,187 Speaker 19: have that moment where you roll up to the start 1344 01:07:47,267 --> 01:07:49,427 Speaker 19: line and you are looking at your opponent because that's 1345 01:07:49,467 --> 01:07:51,067 Speaker 19: what you're going to need to be doing to be 1346 01:07:51,147 --> 01:07:53,987 Speaker 19: aware of where they are on the track, and so that's. 1347 01:07:53,867 --> 01:07:54,187 Speaker 5: Part of it. 1348 01:07:54,307 --> 01:07:57,987 Speaker 19: But then also knowing that you know it is that 1349 01:07:58,147 --> 01:08:00,987 Speaker 19: sort of mental mental game side of it as well. 1350 01:08:01,147 --> 01:08:03,027 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. Can you give us some insight 1351 01:08:03,067 --> 01:08:07,107 Speaker 2: into the influence of your coach, your dad John, Yeah, Oh. 1352 01:08:07,667 --> 01:08:08,267 Speaker 18: Yeah, for sure. 1353 01:08:08,427 --> 01:08:11,627 Speaker 19: He came on board less than a year before the 1354 01:08:11,747 --> 01:08:14,947 Speaker 19: Games after our previous coach, Neck had to move back 1355 01:08:14,987 --> 01:08:17,387 Speaker 19: to Australia with his family. So that was a real 1356 01:08:17,507 --> 01:08:23,107 Speaker 19: surprise and probably reasonably truthful at the time to think, 1357 01:08:23,267 --> 01:08:26,147 Speaker 19: you know, we are coach lest going into the Games. 1358 01:08:27,027 --> 01:08:29,467 Speaker 19: But you know, it just worked out really well that 1359 01:08:30,267 --> 01:08:33,667 Speaker 19: John had just been Australia coaching over there and then 1360 01:08:33,747 --> 01:08:35,467 Speaker 19: finally come back to New Zealand. 1361 01:08:35,147 --> 01:08:39,107 Speaker 18: And was working in an art consultant contractor role. 1362 01:08:39,187 --> 01:08:41,347 Speaker 19: Sorry, and so it just worked out that he was 1363 01:08:41,387 --> 01:08:44,707 Speaker 19: able to apply to the job and come on board. 1364 01:08:44,827 --> 01:08:46,987 Speaker 19: So yeah, it's been great to have him on board. 1365 01:08:48,067 --> 01:08:51,987 Speaker 19: It's been really special.

So 1452 01:13:04,827 --> 01:13:07,307 Speaker 13: you've got the one have been there, done that, the 1453 01:13:07,387 --> 01:13:09,187 Speaker 13: ones that look like they're about to go there and 1454 01:13:09,307 --> 01:13:12,707 Speaker 13: do that, And it's really difficult to match out because 1455 01:13:12,747 --> 01:13:14,707 Speaker 13: they even each other out so well. 1456 01:13:14,947 --> 01:13:16,467 Speaker 9: They're so good that they're clearly that. 1457 01:13:16,467 --> 01:13:20,307 Speaker 13: There's two teams. So I'm just leaning towards Penrith by 1458 01:13:20,387 --> 01:13:23,107 Speaker 13: virtue of the fact that they can sorry Melbourne by 1459 01:13:23,227 --> 01:13:24,907 Speaker 13: virtue of the fact that they can play a little 1460 01:13:24,907 --> 01:13:26,307 Speaker 13: bit quick. I see, there you go. I haven't even 1461 01:13:26,307 --> 01:13:30,307 Speaker 13: confused about Manu. It's that close. But it should be 1462 01:13:30,307 --> 01:13:31,667 Speaker 13: a great game of footy, and it's going to be 1463 01:13:31,707 --> 01:13:33,267 Speaker 13: dry as well. You know what I say about dry 1464 01:13:33,267 --> 01:13:36,387 Speaker 13: whether footage ten times better than wet weather footage. So yeah, 1465 01:13:36,427 --> 01:13:38,187 Speaker 13: this will be a spectacle this will be a damn 1466 01:13:38,227 --> 01:13:40,627 Speaker 13: good game of regular league, just on the fact that they. 1467 01:13:40,547 --> 01:13:42,907 Speaker 2: Are clearly the two best sides. How big is the 1468 01:13:42,987 --> 01:13:45,107 Speaker 2: gat back? Because I mean the Storm gave it to 1469 01:13:45,187 --> 01:13:48,067 Speaker 2: the Roosters, you know, last weekend, and the Rooster's not 1470 01:13:48,187 --> 01:13:51,387 Speaker 2: a bad side, but they're nowhere near clearly nowhere near 1471 01:13:51,387 --> 01:13:53,547 Speaker 2: the Storm, probably no where near the Panthers. How big 1472 01:13:53,707 --> 01:13:55,067 Speaker 2: is the gat back from these two? 1473 01:13:55,667 --> 01:13:58,227 Speaker 13: I reckon that these two play any other team, they 1474 01:13:58,307 --> 01:14:00,467 Speaker 13: beat them nine times out of ten at the moment. 1475 01:14:00,547 --> 01:14:03,067 Speaker 13: That's how significant I think it is when when the 1476 01:14:03,107 --> 01:14:06,187 Speaker 13: stakes are high, like a Grand Final qualifier, that's how 1477 01:14:06,627 --> 01:14:08,507 Speaker 13: that's how big it is at the moment. And there 1478 01:14:08,547 --> 01:14:11,347 Speaker 13: are a few factors why it's happened like that, but 1479 01:14:11,627 --> 01:14:14,187 Speaker 13: it's it's good that it's there's two of them and 1480 01:14:14,347 --> 01:14:17,027 Speaker 13: not like just one of them and everyone's just rocking 1481 01:14:17,067 --> 01:14:19,267 Speaker 13: up to a Grand Final tom I thinking, well, can 1482 01:14:19,307 --> 01:14:22,427 Speaker 13: I keep it within twenty? That's not the case. So yeah, 1483 01:14:22,547 --> 01:14:24,827 Speaker 13: clearly the best too. And we get it's like a 1484 01:14:24,867 --> 01:14:27,347 Speaker 13: title fight almost. It's yeah, you know, you just want 1485 01:14:27,347 --> 01:14:29,427 Speaker 13: to say it happened and start. 1486 01:14:29,387 --> 01:14:32,467 Speaker 2: Yep, can't wait for tomorrow night. Okay, Women's t twenty 1487 01:14:32,587 --> 01:14:34,227 Speaker 2: Cricket World Cup. I'm sure you've caught up with the 1488 01:14:34,307 --> 01:14:37,507 Speaker 2: news that the White Ferns beat into your hair opening match. 1489 01:14:37,667 --> 01:14:39,747 Speaker 2: Australia have won the last three of these. Is your 1490 01:14:39,787 --> 01:14:41,067 Speaker 2: confident they'll make it four. 1491 01:14:42,707 --> 01:14:45,627 Speaker 13: Without being arrogant? How can you not be? Because they've 1492 01:14:45,667 --> 01:14:48,587 Speaker 13: got they've got such well balanced side and sometimes it 1493 01:14:48,627 --> 01:14:51,267 Speaker 13: doesn't quite work out looks like that. I mean, look, 1494 01:14:51,547 --> 01:14:53,547 Speaker 13: Meg Lanning has given the game one. I think one 1495 01:14:53,627 --> 01:14:58,107 Speaker 13: by one, these big players like Alisa Healey, who all 1496 01:14:58,107 --> 01:15:00,947 Speaker 13: worked with over here in Australia and she's magnificent, and 1497 01:15:01,107 --> 01:15:03,787 Speaker 13: Keen the captain this side, Alise Perry, one by one 1498 01:15:03,867 --> 01:15:07,227 Speaker 13: doll dripped away in the next four to five years. 1499 01:15:07,267 --> 01:15:09,747 Speaker 13: But we've got this undercurrent coming through and it's because 1500 01:15:09,747 --> 01:15:14,107 Speaker 13: we've got such a strong WBBL the domestic Women's Tea 1501 01:15:14,147 --> 01:15:17,107 Speaker 13: twenty competition that runs here in early summer, and I 1502 01:15:17,187 --> 01:15:21,267 Speaker 13: think New Zealand have benefited from that particular competition. We 1503 01:15:21,307 --> 01:15:23,547 Speaker 13: see Sophy Devine over here all the time emearly occur 1504 01:15:23,667 --> 01:15:26,027 Speaker 13: as a big addition to the Sydney Sixers, and they're 1505 01:15:26,387 --> 01:15:28,707 Speaker 13: two of the KeyWe's best players. And look what they've 1506 01:15:28,707 --> 01:15:31,547 Speaker 13: done to India. Overnight, so and India send players here 1507 01:15:31,587 --> 01:15:34,507 Speaker 13: as well. So I think Australia's depth is their key, 1508 01:15:34,627 --> 01:15:36,787 Speaker 13: and they've got selection issues who to lead out and 1509 01:15:36,827 --> 01:15:39,027 Speaker 13: that's the dam good problem. So they play shal Anchor 1510 01:15:39,067 --> 01:15:40,427 Speaker 13: first up. They've got to get out of that. They've 1511 01:15:40,427 --> 01:15:43,187 Speaker 13: got to get going. Should be okay in that one. 1512 01:15:43,267 --> 01:15:45,107 Speaker 13: But yeah, really happy for the Kiwei's and it blows 1513 01:15:45,147 --> 01:15:47,427 Speaker 13: the tournament wide open because India are expected to be 1514 01:15:47,787 --> 01:15:51,427 Speaker 13: with Australia there at the finish. But that's massive, especially 1515 01:15:51,467 --> 01:15:52,427 Speaker 13: with that run rate as well. 1516 01:15:52,547 --> 01:15:55,547 Speaker 2: Indeed, and Australia against New Zealand early as of Wednesday 1517 01:15:55,587 --> 01:15:58,747 Speaker 2: morning as well, so we'll look forward to that one. Another. 1518 01:15:58,787 --> 01:16:01,027 Speaker 2: One of your female teams are the absolute juggernaught that 1519 01:16:01,147 --> 01:16:03,867 Speaker 2: is the Matilda's football team. I've got a change of coach, 1520 01:16:04,387 --> 01:16:08,667 Speaker 2: Tony Gustafson replaced in an inter or placed an interim charge. 1521 01:16:08,667 --> 01:16:11,067 Speaker 2: You'll replaced an interim charge by Tom Somani, who of 1522 01:16:11,107 --> 01:16:13,347 Speaker 2: course was in charge of our football firms for a while. 1523 01:16:13,947 --> 01:16:16,547 Speaker 2: Who are the favorites for the permanent role as head 1524 01:16:16,587 --> 01:16:18,067 Speaker 2: coach of the Matilda's moving forward. 1525 01:16:18,707 --> 01:16:19,427 Speaker 6: There's no one yet. 1526 01:16:19,467 --> 01:16:19,667 Speaker 11: Pine. 1527 01:16:20,027 --> 01:16:22,627 Speaker 13: It's really weird that I think they're happy to really 1528 01:16:22,707 --> 01:16:26,947 Speaker 13: take their time because there's no qualifiers on the horizon, 1529 01:16:26,987 --> 01:16:29,787 Speaker 13: there's no tournament on the horizon that there will be 1530 01:16:29,947 --> 01:16:32,067 Speaker 13: soon there'll be in a women's Asian Cup to really 1531 01:16:32,107 --> 01:16:34,427 Speaker 13: play for. But the Tommy Somani and I don't know, 1532 01:16:34,427 --> 01:16:36,547 Speaker 13: if you got to know him, he's one of the 1533 01:16:36,667 --> 01:16:38,787 Speaker 13: best blokes going around. He would just take the air 1534 01:16:38,867 --> 01:16:40,587 Speaker 13: out of the room. You know, you just get every 1535 01:16:40,707 --> 01:16:43,827 Speaker 13: under the chill out. You'll get everyone on the same page. Look, 1536 01:16:43,827 --> 01:16:46,707 Speaker 13: a lot of these players, like the Sam Kurk, Caitlin Ford. 1537 01:16:47,187 --> 01:16:51,027 Speaker 13: Tom gave the Matilda's debutsu in his first first crack 1538 01:16:51,067 --> 01:16:53,507 Speaker 13: at Matilda's coach. So I mean, it could work out 1539 01:16:54,387 --> 01:16:56,547 Speaker 13: that the whole squad just love working under time and 1540 01:16:56,587 --> 01:16:59,147 Speaker 13: they bring in another assistant who you know might be 1541 01:16:59,267 --> 01:17:02,187 Speaker 13: more modern and not calling Tom not modern, but like 1542 01:17:02,867 --> 01:17:05,707 Speaker 13: a younger freshman face to be the assistant, and Tom 1543 01:17:05,787 --> 01:17:08,147 Speaker 13: might be to pick ahead and oversee things that that 1544 01:17:08,307 --> 01:17:10,627 Speaker 13: might be the way they go, or they do actually 1545 01:17:10,627 --> 01:17:14,987 Speaker 13: get someone in of international recognition. There's no real candidates 1546 01:17:15,027 --> 01:17:17,227 Speaker 13: from the women's game here in Australia. They could go 1547 01:17:17,387 --> 01:17:20,027 Speaker 13: men an excell Untilda won't mention her name, but she said, 1548 01:17:20,027 --> 01:17:21,867 Speaker 13: why don't we go for someone like a John Ala Wissy, 1549 01:17:22,427 --> 01:17:25,627 Speaker 13: which you know, okay, someone from the men's game to 1550 01:17:25,747 --> 01:17:27,987 Speaker 13: come over. So we'll wait and see. But I think 1551 01:17:28,027 --> 01:17:29,827 Speaker 13: all options are still on the table, and they're really 1552 01:17:29,827 --> 01:17:30,387 Speaker 13: going to take. 1553 01:17:30,227 --> 01:17:31,907 Speaker 2: That time with this one, as you just before you 1554 01:17:31,987 --> 01:17:34,347 Speaker 2: go the men's side, Tony Popovitch and charged there now, 1555 01:17:34,427 --> 01:17:36,867 Speaker 2: of course, of the soccer us named his first squad 1556 01:17:36,867 --> 01:17:39,787 Speaker 2: in the last couple of days. How has his appointment 1557 01:17:39,907 --> 01:17:42,587 Speaker 2: been been received after you know, sort of a week 1558 01:17:42,707 --> 01:17:45,707 Speaker 2: or so of time since the announcement was made. 1559 01:17:46,227 --> 01:17:48,427 Speaker 13: Yeah, and in eighties first squad yesterday, So bringing back 1560 01:17:48,467 --> 01:17:52,507 Speaker 13: plays by mass Lolongo and giving young mission for Looplay 1561 01:17:52,587 --> 01:17:54,747 Speaker 13: from Melbourn victory.

So a few changes, a few adjustments, 1564 01:18:00,067 --> 01:18:04,347 Speaker 13: but nothing holds are Yeah, like it's hard, it's hard 1565 01:18:04,387 --> 01:18:06,467 Speaker 13: to bag.

Frankie, thanks for 1663 01:25:24,467 --> 01:25:28,027 Speaker 2: joining us. This looks really convincing. One sixty for four 1664 01:25:28,667 --> 01:25:30,907 Speaker 2: plays one hundred and two all out. Did you see 1665 01:25:30,987 --> 01:25:34,667 Speaker 2: this coming after ten straight defeats for the White Ferns 1666 01:25:34,707 --> 01:25:35,307 Speaker 2: in this format? 1667 01:25:36,627 --> 01:25:39,187 Speaker 15: Yeah, I actually will will admit that. 1668 01:25:39,307 --> 01:25:39,507 Speaker 14: Yeah. 1669 01:25:39,587 --> 01:25:42,387 Speaker 15: I had a little inkling there that it could be 1670 01:25:42,947 --> 01:25:45,307 Speaker 15: a successful game for the White Suns. I just thought 1671 01:25:45,427 --> 01:25:48,227 Speaker 15: with the way that they played in Australia, I thought 1672 01:25:48,227 --> 01:25:51,507 Speaker 15: there were lots of good signs in the T twenty 1673 01:25:51,547 --> 01:25:53,387 Speaker 15: games leading it to this world cut. I think then 1674 01:25:53,507 --> 01:25:55,067 Speaker 15: the way they went into their warm up games, I 1675 01:25:55,107 --> 01:25:57,347 Speaker 15: think there were lots of positives and I actually reckoned 1676 01:25:57,347 --> 01:25:58,947 Speaker 15: from from having a look at those warm up games. 1677 01:25:58,947 --> 01:26:00,787 Speaker 15: I saw the opposite in India. I think they looked 1678 01:26:00,787 --> 01:26:03,027 Speaker 15: a little underdone. I think they looked a little rusty, 1679 01:26:03,587 --> 01:26:05,227 Speaker 15: and they've kind of come out and they've said, this 1680 01:26:05,347 --> 01:26:07,147 Speaker 15: is our best T twenty two ever. We've got a 1681 01:26:07,187 --> 01:26:09,547 Speaker 15: sports cycle on board now, we are so prepared to 1682 01:26:09,627 --> 01:26:11,987 Speaker 15: have a crack at this and I just thought, actually, 1683 01:26:12,467 --> 01:26:15,507 Speaker 15: I think that potentially they're anything but So it really 1684 01:26:15,587 --> 01:26:18,667 Speaker 15: felt like the New Zealand side were in a really 1685 01:26:18,707 --> 01:26:20,147 Speaker 15: good place to be able to try and take them 1686 01:26:20,187 --> 01:26:22,267 Speaker 15: on right from game one, and I think they did. 1687 01:26:22,347 --> 01:26:24,827 Speaker 15: They came out with great intent, openers put on a 1688 01:26:24,907 --> 01:26:27,627 Speaker 15: really good partnership to get things started. India looked rattled 1689 01:26:27,667 --> 01:26:29,787 Speaker 15: and the really pleasing thing for me with that New 1690 01:26:29,867 --> 01:26:31,827 Speaker 15: Zealand side is they just didn't take the foot off 1691 01:26:31,827 --> 01:26:33,747 Speaker 15: the throats. They just did not give an inch back. 1692 01:26:33,867 --> 01:26:36,707 Speaker 15: So really for me, really really pleasing science to kick 1693 01:26:36,787 --> 01:26:37,147 Speaker 15: things off. 1694 01:26:37,427 --> 01:26:40,587 Speaker 2: Sophie Devine was fairly bullish in the postmatch press conference, 1695 01:26:40,627 --> 01:26:43,747 Speaker 2: insisting they've been playing this way and not getting the results. 1696 01:26:44,107 --> 01:26:46,227 Speaker 2: Is that valid Frankie or did something change? 1697 01:26:48,027 --> 01:26:50,787 Speaker 15: I think there's a little bit of validity to it. 1698 01:26:50,867 --> 01:26:53,507 Speaker 15: I think that the way that they have worked over 1699 01:26:53,547 --> 01:26:55,187 Speaker 15: the last year or two on how they want to 1700 01:26:55,187 --> 01:26:58,107 Speaker 15: play cricket has They've been really strong in their ideas 1701 01:26:58,347 --> 01:26:59,987 Speaker 15: on what they want to do. And I think it's 1702 01:26:59,987 --> 01:27:02,547 Speaker 15: always hard because they haven't been necessarily actually gone out 1703 01:27:02,547 --> 01:27:04,467 Speaker 15: and played that well. And so I think the ideas 1704 01:27:04,507 --> 01:27:06,507 Speaker 15: have been there of how they want to play, how 1705 01:27:06,507 --> 01:27:08,227 Speaker 15: they want to take the game on, but they just 1706 01:27:08,307 --> 01:27:10,547 Speaker 15: haven't actually been able to execute it. So I think 1707 01:27:10,587 --> 01:27:12,427 Speaker 15: it takes a really strong team to be able to 1708 01:27:12,867 --> 01:27:14,947 Speaker 15: cop some of the criticism and deal with some of 1709 01:27:14,987 --> 01:27:18,227 Speaker 15: the outside noise around the results and how things are going, 1710 01:27:18,307 --> 01:27:20,187 Speaker 15: and actually be able to kind of stick to script 1711 01:27:20,307 --> 01:27:23,147 Speaker 15: and stick to that. They know that when they play well, 1712 01:27:23,227 --> 01:27:24,827 Speaker 15: this is what the performance is going to look like, 1713 01:27:24,947 --> 01:27:26,707 Speaker 15: and it's just trying to put those things in place. 1714 01:27:26,867 --> 01:27:29,707 Speaker 15: So I think it can be a little hard at 1715 01:27:29,747 --> 01:27:32,587 Speaker 15: times to justify that to the outside world. I think 1716 01:27:32,627 --> 01:27:35,867 Speaker 15: it's hard when you're not winning games to keep saying, well, 1717 01:27:35,867 --> 01:27:37,827 Speaker 15: actually we're doing the right stuff, We're training really hard 1718 01:27:37,867 --> 01:27:40,067 Speaker 15: we're taking all the right boxes. We know this performance 1719 01:27:40,147 --> 01:27:42,987 Speaker 15: is there, but no one else sees it quite yet. 1720 01:27:43,027 --> 01:27:45,307 Speaker 15: So I think really good for them. And it's just 1721 01:27:45,347 --> 01:27:46,907 Speaker 15: a little bit of self belief as well. You know, 1722 01:27:47,307 --> 01:27:50,707 Speaker 15: you winning is a habit. If you continue to lose 1723 01:27:50,747 --> 01:27:52,707 Speaker 15: those games, that will chip away a bit as a 1724 01:27:52,787 --> 01:27:54,987 Speaker 15: self belief. So the fact that they are able to 1725 01:27:55,027 --> 01:27:57,187 Speaker 15: get a win and a big win to start things off, 1726 01:27:57,507 --> 01:27:59,707 Speaker 15: I mean, I think they're in a really good place, 1727 01:27:59,747 --> 01:28:01,427 Speaker 15: and I actually think that team knows they're in a 1728 01:28:01,507 --> 01:28:02,427 Speaker 15: really good place as well. 1729 01:28:02,467 --> 01:28:05,187 Speaker 2: Now rose from a four for nineteen lea to her 1730 01:28:05,187 --> 01:28:08,667 Speaker 2: who's three for fifteen. A pace bowl is going to 1731 01:28:08,707 --> 01:28:10,667 Speaker 2: be a bit more important than we thought they might 1732 01:28:10,747 --> 01:28:11,627 Speaker 2: be at this World Cup. 1733 01:28:12,547 --> 01:28:13,707 Speaker 15: Yeah, you get to see a little bit of a 1734 01:28:13,707 --> 01:28:17,067 Speaker 15: difference between the two venues, between Dubai and shar Ja. 1735 01:28:17,667 --> 01:28:20,667 Speaker 15: You're going to expect that perhaps as well under lights 1736 01:28:20,707 --> 01:28:22,307 Speaker 15: that the seamers are going to have to do a 1737 01:28:22,307 --> 01:28:23,587 Speaker 15: little bit more of the work. The ball is going 1738 01:28:23,627 --> 01:28:25,827 Speaker 15: to go around a little bit. And also I think 1739 01:28:25,907 --> 01:28:29,067 Speaker 15: that as the tournament progresses, that's where you'll maybe see 1740 01:28:29,107 --> 01:28:31,747 Speaker 15: that the spinners come into it more. They got the 1741 01:28:31,827 --> 01:28:34,827 Speaker 15: tournament a little bit last minute, so maybe the preparation 1742 01:28:34,987 --> 01:28:37,067 Speaker 15: and the amount of surfaces they've got ready to go 1743 01:28:37,387 --> 01:28:40,867 Speaker 15: won't quite be as per Norman. Obviously, it's roasting hot 1744 01:28:40,907 --> 01:28:42,387 Speaker 15: over there. I think of thirty eight to thirty nine 1745 01:28:42,427 --> 01:28:44,867 Speaker 15: degrees to the game. So I think the longer the 1746 01:28:44,907 --> 01:28:47,107 Speaker 15: tournament goes on, the more you're going to see the 1747 01:28:47,147 --> 01:28:49,427 Speaker 15: spinners come into it. And teams have definitely gone over 1748 01:28:49,507 --> 01:28:53,507 Speaker 15: with plenty of spin bowling resource, but early games have 1749 01:28:53,547 --> 01:28:55,427 Speaker 15: shown there's definitely a little bit early on for the 1750 01:28:55,507 --> 01:28:58,827 Speaker 15: Seamas and they can put some real pressure onto now. 1751 01:28:58,907 --> 01:29:01,347 Speaker 2: Only the top two in each of the five team 1752 01:29:01,467 --> 01:29:04,227 Speaker 2: groups make the Semis. Three time defending champions Australia in 1753 01:29:04,347 --> 01:29:07,187 Speaker 2: our group, so this is probably a silly question, but 1754 01:29:07,227 --> 01:29:09,867 Speaker 2: how big a result is this against India to our 1755 01:29:09,907 --> 01:29:13,187 Speaker 2: tournament hopes of progressing through to the semifinals? 1756 01:29:13,867 --> 01:29:14,027 Speaker 8: Oh? 1757 01:29:14,107 --> 01:29:16,267 Speaker 15: Massive, massive. I mean you look at the way the 1758 01:29:16,947 --> 01:29:19,587 Speaker 15: pools were drawn, and everyone's kind of talked about our 1759 01:29:19,627 --> 01:29:22,787 Speaker 15: pools the pool of dish a little bit, and that 1760 01:29:23,187 --> 01:29:24,827 Speaker 15: you had to be right on the ball right from 1761 01:29:24,867 --> 01:29:27,307 Speaker 15: game one. You've got India first, you play Australia second. 1762 01:29:27,587 --> 01:29:29,147 Speaker 15: You run the risk that if you don't win one 1763 01:29:29,187 --> 01:29:31,187 Speaker 15: of those first two games, then next year your tournament's 1764 01:29:31,187 --> 01:29:33,147 Speaker 15: all but over and a little bit like what we 1765 01:29:33,227 --> 01:29:35,307 Speaker 15: saw with the Black Cats at the recent T twenty 1766 01:29:35,347 --> 01:29:37,147 Speaker 15: World Cup. If you're not on your game to start with, 1767 01:29:37,307 --> 01:29:39,947 Speaker 15: then it's over very very quickly. So I love the 1768 01:29:40,027 --> 01:29:42,907 Speaker 15: way that this White Since team, they've had that series 1769 01:29:42,947 --> 01:29:45,947 Speaker 15: against Australia, they've had warm up games, they are fully prepared, 1770 01:29:46,267 --> 01:29:48,307 Speaker 15: ready to go, and they've shown it right from game one. 1771 01:29:48,467 --> 01:29:50,507 Speaker 15: The cool thing is now if they turn up and 1772 01:29:50,627 --> 01:29:53,987 Speaker 15: they beat Australia, it puts a lost next to India 1773 01:29:54,027 --> 01:29:56,187 Speaker 15: or a lost next to Australia. Those two teams then 1774 01:29:56,267 --> 01:29:57,987 Speaker 15: have to play each other. Only one of them is 1775 01:29:58,027 --> 01:29:59,827 Speaker 15: getting out of it with a win, so that basically 1776 01:29:59,907 --> 01:30:02,467 Speaker 15: will end the tournament for one of the i'd say 1777 01:30:02,507 --> 01:30:04,427 Speaker 15: the two top favorites to go home with the cup. 1778 01:30:04,547 --> 01:30:07,627 Speaker 15: So I don't think you can you can understate. 1779 01:30:07,307 --> 01:30:07,987 Speaker 9: This result at all. 1780 01:30:08,067 --> 01:30:11,507 Speaker 5: I think it is huge for this New Zealand team. 1781 01:30:11,547 --> 01:30:13,187 Speaker 15: I think the confidence they're going to gain from it, 1782 01:30:13,307 --> 01:30:15,987 Speaker 15: the fact that it puts you in contention. You winter 1783 01:30:16,107 --> 01:30:18,427 Speaker 15: more games, you're talking semi finals, and then all of 1784 01:30:18,427 --> 01:30:19,867 Speaker 15: a sudden, you've only got to win two games a 1785 01:30:19,907 --> 01:30:21,707 Speaker 15: cricket from there and you're going home with the big 1786 01:30:21,787 --> 01:30:23,827 Speaker 15: carp at a big fat check as well. So I 1787 01:30:23,987 --> 01:30:25,667 Speaker 15: think that is it's massive. 1788 01:30:25,747 --> 01:30:28,147 Speaker 18: It will put a real dent in the confidence of 1789 01:30:28,227 --> 01:30:28,747 Speaker 18: India as well. 1790 01:30:28,787 --> 01:30:30,467 Speaker 15: They've got a lot of pressure on their shoulders. And 1791 01:30:30,947 --> 01:30:33,427 Speaker 15: look the way the Australian team has played that recent 1792 01:30:33,467 --> 01:30:36,027 Speaker 15: series against US, played their warm up games. They are 1793 01:30:36,267 --> 01:30:38,427 Speaker 15: very beatable and I think every team around the world 1794 01:30:38,467 --> 01:30:40,627 Speaker 15: at the moment is looking at them saying, hey, they've 1795 01:30:40,667 --> 01:30:43,067 Speaker 15: come to a World Cup with with no Meg Lanning 1796 01:30:43,387 --> 01:30:45,547 Speaker 15: not playing that well. Actually, this is our time to 1797 01:30:45,587 --> 01:30:47,827 Speaker 15: tip them up. And the Australian goes they'll feel the 1798 01:30:47,867 --> 01:30:50,867 Speaker 15: pressure too. They will definitely feel the pressure of expectation, 1799 01:30:51,067 --> 01:30:55,067 Speaker 15: being defending chance. So for mine, I think you could 1800 01:30:55,147 --> 01:30:58,227 Speaker 15: not have scripted a better win contributions from your top order. 1801 01:30:58,667 --> 01:31:01,227 Speaker 15: Seama is doing a good job than is contributing. It 1802 01:31:01,547 --> 01:31:03,747 Speaker 15: just felt like one of those performances where you know, 1803 01:31:03,787 --> 01:31:06,267 Speaker 15: if you're the coaching staff, you go home and could 1804 01:31:06,467 --> 01:31:07,507 Speaker 15: not be happier. 1805 01:31:07,187 --> 01:31:07,987 Speaker 18: With how that started. 1806 01:31:08,267 --> 01:31:10,707 Speaker 2: Brilliant summary, Frankie. A very good way to start for 1807 01:31:10,747 --> 01:31:12,907 Speaker 2: the White Ferns. Long Mathers continue over the next month 1808 01:31:12,987 --> 01:31:15,107 Speaker 2: or so, thanks for taking the time for a chat 1809 01:31:15,147 --> 01:31:16,667 Speaker 2: as always, Oh no. 1810 01:31:16,707 --> 01:31:17,227 Speaker 18: Worst plant. 1811 01:31:17,227 --> 01:31:19,187 Speaker 15: It always eaby to talk, especially when we're winning, and 1812 01:31:19,267 --> 01:31:21,267 Speaker 15: hopefully we get to talk about winning a World Cup too. 1813 01:31:21,427 --> 01:31:21,587 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1814 01:31:21,627 --> 01:31:23,707 Speaker 2: Well, let's hope, so Frankie, let's hope. So it started 1815 01:31:23,747 --> 01:31:27,107 Speaker 2: off pretty well, Frankie McKay joining us, former White Ferns 1816 01:31:27,147 --> 01:31:30,507 Speaker 2: all rounder and now cricket commentator. So yeah, one hundred 1817 01:31:30,547 --> 01:31:33,227 Speaker 2: and sixty for four New Zealand, Susie Bates and Georgia 1818 01:31:33,267 --> 01:31:36,267 Speaker 2: Plumber opening up well, Susie Bits twenty seven off twenty 1819 01:31:36,307 --> 01:31:39,467 Speaker 2: four deliveries, Georgia Plumber thirty four off twenty three, Miny 1820 01:31:39,547 --> 01:31:42,107 Speaker 2: Kerr were thirteen batting at number three. Then Sophie Divine 1821 01:31:42,147 --> 01:31:44,787 Speaker 2: fifty seven not out of thirty six deliveries, helped along 1822 01:31:44,867 --> 01:31:47,147 Speaker 2: by Brooke Halliday with sixteen off twelve and then an 1823 01:31:47,187 --> 01:31:50,147 Speaker 2: unbeaten five off three from Maddy Green eight runs and 1824 01:31:50,227 --> 01:31:54,307 Speaker 2: over in T twenty particularly women's Tea twenty is probably 1825 01:31:54,347 --> 01:31:57,947 Speaker 2: above par, and then India all out one hundred and two, 1826 01:31:58,707 --> 01:32:01,427 Speaker 2: Rosemary Mayor four for nineteen, lea to who Who three 1827 01:32:01,587 --> 01:32:04,547 Speaker 2: for fifteen, a couple of wigets for Eden Carson and 1828 01:32:04,667 --> 01:32:08,307 Speaker 2: one for Millie Kerr as well, very comprehensive a fifty 1829 01:32:08,347 --> 01:32:13,227 Speaker 2: eight run win. Next up Australia three o'clock Wednesday morning, 1830 01:32:13,307 --> 01:32:15,147 Speaker 2: New Zealand time. I think we can go into that 1831 01:32:15,227 --> 01:32:18,667 Speaker 2: game with renewed hope and optimism. Just had a text 1832 01:32:18,707 --> 01:32:23,227 Speaker 2: before actually from a former New Zealand women's cricket captain 1833 01:32:23,747 --> 01:32:26,387 Speaker 2: and very astute observer of the game, and it was 1834 01:32:26,467 --> 01:32:30,347 Speaker 2: her observation that clearly Susie Bates and Georgia Plumber have 1835 01:32:30,467 --> 01:32:32,227 Speaker 2: just been told to go for it from the start, 1836 01:32:32,547 --> 01:32:34,707 Speaker 2: which feels like a pretty natural thing to do in 1837 01:32:34,787 --> 01:32:37,507 Speaker 2: teach twenty cricket, isn't it just go for it and 1838 01:32:37,907 --> 01:32:41,627 Speaker 2: if you can't hit out, get out. Yeah, there's been 1839 01:32:41,627 --> 01:32:45,187 Speaker 2: a bit of criticism and Sophie Divine referenced it in 1840 01:32:45,267 --> 01:32:48,707 Speaker 2: the postmatch media conference about the batting order and whether 1841 01:32:49,107 --> 01:32:51,147 Speaker 2: Sophie Divine herself should be opening the batting You only 1842 01:32:51,147 --> 01:32:53,827 Speaker 2: got one hundred and twenty deliveries, so why shouldn't she 1843 01:32:53,947 --> 01:32:56,267 Speaker 2: face more of them or as many of them as possible. 1844 01:32:56,747 --> 01:32:59,267 Speaker 2: Clearly that I have decided their top four is Bates, Plumber, 1845 01:33:00,147 --> 01:33:04,107 Speaker 2: Kerr and Divine. It certainly worked this morning, So yeah, 1846 01:33:04,187 --> 01:33:06,467 Speaker 2: let's hope for more of the same against Australia in 1847 01:33:06,547 --> 01:33:09,507 Speaker 2: the next game on Wednesday morning. We have our far 1848 01:33:09,627 --> 01:33:13,307 Speaker 2: O Palma Cup Premiership Champions. It is White Cuttle. They've 1849 01:33:13,347 --> 01:33:16,787 Speaker 2: beaten Canterbury twenty seven twenty five in a cracking final 1850 01:33:17,067 --> 01:33:20,867 Speaker 2: at FMG Stadium, White Cuttle in Hamilton. Congratulations to the 1851 01:33:20,907 --> 01:33:24,987 Speaker 2: White Cutter team Premier Champions and the Farah Palmer Cup 1852 01:33:25,027 --> 01:33:28,387 Speaker 2: for twenty twenty four. And just updating you on Bunning's 1853 01:33:28,587 --> 01:33:33,827 Speaker 2: NPC action from Massi University in Palmerston North. That's where 1854 01:33:33,867 --> 01:33:37,467 Speaker 2: this game is being played. County's Manica against Unawatu Munawtu five. 1855 01:33:37,707 --> 01:33:40,467 Speaker 2: Counties Menica seven after fourteen minutes in that game, so 1856 01:33:41,307 --> 01:33:45,307 Speaker 2: pretty even early on in that one. Two twenty one. 1857 01:33:45,427 --> 01:33:48,067 Speaker 2: When we come back we'll take to the water. We 1858 01:33:48,227 --> 01:33:50,307 Speaker 2: have our challenger for the America's Cup in the OS 1859 01:33:50,427 --> 01:33:54,627 Speaker 2: Britannia against Team New Zealand starting next Sunday. Professor Mark 1860 01:33:54,867 --> 01:33:57,827 Speaker 2: Orham's going to break down how any Os Britannia did 1861 01:33:57,867 --> 01:34:00,507 Speaker 2: it and how big a threat they posed to Team 1862 01:34:00,587 --> 01:34:04,667 Speaker 2: New Zealand to win it off us in a thirteen 1863 01:34:04,747 --> 01:34:07,707 Speaker 2: or best of thirteen race series. Arting next Sunday, Professor 1864 01:34:07,747 --> 01:34:10,067 Speaker 2: Mike orams Is with us after this on News Talk CP, 1865 01:34:10,227 --> 01:34:11,627 Speaker 2: host of Barcelona. 1866 01:34:11,667 --> 01:34:14,227 Speaker 17: Bannia rules the waves La Mediterranean. 1867 01:34:14,667 --> 01:34:18,387 Speaker 2: Well, it's seven for victory if we talked up and 1868 01:34:18,507 --> 01:34:21,947 Speaker 2: we'll meet Emirates Team New Zealand. Yes, Aeos Britannia will 1869 01:34:21,987 --> 01:34:24,667 Speaker 2: attempt to pry the old mug from the kiwis. After 1870 01:34:24,707 --> 01:34:27,587 Speaker 2: beating Luna ross A seven to four in the Challenger 1871 01:34:27,667 --> 01:34:31,027 Speaker 2: Series final, the Sir Ben Ainsley led boat needed just 1872 01:34:31,147 --> 01:34:33,427 Speaker 2: the one victory overnight to seal their spot in the 1873 01:34:33,467 --> 01:34:37,467 Speaker 2: Cup match, winning the first of the two races planned. 1874 01:34:37,987 --> 01:34:41,147 Speaker 2: The Cup match is scheduled to begin next Sunday, New 1875 01:34:41,227 --> 01:34:43,827 Speaker 2: Zealand time. Let's bring in former New Zealand and World 1876 01:34:43,907 --> 01:34:46,907 Speaker 2: champion sailor Team New Zealand member and now Professor of 1877 01:34:46,987 --> 01:34:50,867 Speaker 2: Sport and Recreation at the Auckland University of Technology, Professor 1878 01:34:50,947 --> 01:34:53,867 Speaker 2: Mark orams Mark. It was four all in the race 1879 01:34:53,947 --> 01:34:57,547 Speaker 2: to seven very even, but Ineos Britannia won the last three. 1880 01:34:57,747 --> 01:34:58,987 Speaker 2: So what changed? 1881 01:35:00,027 --> 01:35:00,227 Speaker 6: Yes? 1882 01:35:00,307 --> 01:35:02,827 Speaker 5: I just think that Anios Bretanna has been the team 1883 01:35:02,867 --> 01:35:05,547 Speaker 5: that's shown the most improvement over this entire series and 1884 01:35:05,707 --> 01:35:08,547 Speaker 5: in fact they're a bit average right back in the 1885 01:35:08,627 --> 01:35:11,867 Speaker 5: preliminary gatter sort of six weeks ago. But what they've 1886 01:35:11,947 --> 01:35:14,387 Speaker 5: managed to do is to be the most improved team. 1887 01:35:14,947 --> 01:35:17,427 Speaker 5: And while it was certainly a battle all the way 1888 01:35:17,547 --> 01:35:20,707 Speaker 5: through the first part of this SLU Button Challenger Finals, 1889 01:35:21,467 --> 01:35:24,867 Speaker 5: once they really got the advantage, they just pressed at home. 1890 01:35:25,307 --> 01:35:28,227 Speaker 5: And actually, looking back on the career of Sir Ben Ainsley, 1891 01:35:28,307 --> 01:35:31,307 Speaker 5: this is a pattern for him. He is really ruthless 1892 01:35:31,427 --> 01:35:33,427 Speaker 5: and when he gets his tail up, he is very 1893 01:35:33,547 --> 01:35:37,827 Speaker 5: very difficult to stop and that permeates throughout the entire team. 1894 01:35:37,947 --> 01:35:41,467 Speaker 5: So the boats were incredibly evenly matched. But those last 1895 01:35:41,507 --> 01:35:45,227 Speaker 5: three races, Syvin Ainsley as the starb at Helm dominated 1896 01:35:45,307 --> 01:35:48,107 Speaker 5: the start and then got the first cross and then 1897 01:35:48,227 --> 01:35:50,147 Speaker 5: just shut down the race from there for three straight 1898 01:35:50,187 --> 01:35:51,187 Speaker 5: winds to close it out. 1899 01:35:51,587 --> 01:35:54,267 Speaker 2: Apart from dominating the start spetter, where did the other 1900 01:35:54,387 --> 01:35:57,987 Speaker 2: main improvements come across the last couple of months or so. 1901 01:35:59,107 --> 01:36:01,947 Speaker 5: Yeah, they've introduced a few new pieces of kit, but 1902 01:36:02,107 --> 01:36:05,867 Speaker 5: nothing remarkably different. What they've learned to do is just 1903 01:36:05,987 --> 01:36:09,707 Speaker 5: totally sail the boat better. They've focused very much on 1904 01:36:09,907 --> 01:36:12,187 Speaker 5: just trying to get their moting right. They changed a 1905 01:36:12,227 --> 01:36:14,787 Speaker 5: few of their routines in terms of their mark roundings, 1906 01:36:15,507 --> 01:36:19,667 Speaker 5: and they've just slowly incrementally improved and that's been a 1907 01:36:19,747 --> 01:36:24,387 Speaker 5: remarkable thing to watch. Actually, I certainly see them as 1908 01:36:25,147 --> 01:36:28,147 Speaker 5: a team that's well worthy of taking on Team New Zealand. 1909 01:36:28,747 --> 01:36:30,827 Speaker 5: And it's not just their improvement, of course, the other 1910 01:36:30,907 --> 01:36:34,347 Speaker 5: advantage that they have is the momentum of and the 1911 01:36:34,507 --> 01:36:38,907 Speaker 5: race readiness they'll have of seventeen pretty tough races over 1912 01:36:38,947 --> 01:36:41,227 Speaker 5: the last two and a half weeks. Well, meanwhile, Team 1913 01:36:41,267 --> 01:36:44,027 Speaker 5: New Zealand's had none, So it's going to be interesting 1914 01:36:44,107 --> 01:36:46,027 Speaker 5: and a big challenge for Team New Zealand, who come 1915 01:36:46,067 --> 01:36:48,467 Speaker 5: in a little bit cold in terms of race readiness 1916 01:36:49,227 --> 01:36:54,107 Speaker 5: next weekend. And whereas anyos Britannia's nailed down a prestart routine, 1917 01:36:54,547 --> 01:36:56,627 Speaker 5: they've shown that they've got the ability to make the 1918 01:36:57,107 --> 01:37:00,027 Speaker 5: correct key decisions at critical moments to shut down a race. 1919 01:37:00,307 --> 01:37:01,947 Speaker 5: If they get their nose in front, they're going to 1920 01:37:01,987 --> 01:37:03,667 Speaker 5: be pretty hard to get past. 1921 01:37:03,827 --> 01:37:05,347 Speaker 2: All right, I want to talk more about the America's 1922 01:37:05,387 --> 01:37:08,267 Speaker 2: Cup match in a moment, just on Lunarossa Mark. How 1923 01:37:08,307 --> 01:37:09,667 Speaker 2: will they reflect on their regatta? 1924 01:37:11,027 --> 01:37:11,587 Speaker 18: Well, I think in. 1925 01:37:11,667 --> 01:37:15,307 Speaker 5: Many ways they'll rue the gear breakages they had. Two 1926 01:37:15,427 --> 01:37:19,187 Speaker 5: races were handed to Britannia because the gear breakages on 1927 01:37:19,307 --> 01:37:24,387 Speaker 5: Lunarossa at this level, that's enormously disappointing for them. In contrast, 1928 01:37:24,427 --> 01:37:27,467 Speaker 5: Britannia's had an incredibly reliable boat that they've just had 1929 01:37:27,627 --> 01:37:31,747 Speaker 5: complete faith in, whereas Lunarossa not. So I'm not saying 1930 01:37:31,747 --> 01:37:34,667 Speaker 5: they would have won those races, but certainly you hand 1931 01:37:34,787 --> 01:37:38,347 Speaker 5: two points like that in a really even series, that's 1932 01:37:38,427 --> 01:37:42,867 Speaker 5: not something that anybody would want. I'm incredibly impressed with 1933 01:37:42,947 --> 01:37:46,387 Speaker 5: the way that they've sailed, and perhaps it's worth reflecting 1934 01:37:46,507 --> 01:37:50,947 Speaker 5: because Jimmy Spittle has announced his retirement overnight from America's 1935 01:37:50,987 --> 01:37:55,827 Speaker 5: Cup Sailing. An amazing leader, what an amazing competitor he 1936 01:37:55,907 --> 01:37:59,907 Speaker 5: has been over twenty years in the sport, and his 1937 01:38:00,187 --> 01:38:04,787 Speaker 5: calm presence on board, his communication, his evenness no matter 1938 01:38:04,827 --> 01:38:07,067 Speaker 5: whether they are in front or behind, or whether something 1939 01:38:07,107 --> 01:38:10,907 Speaker 5: had gone wrong or not, deeply, deeply impressive. And I 1940 01:38:11,067 --> 01:38:15,227 Speaker 5: know that as key, we love to hate an opponent 1941 01:38:15,347 --> 01:38:19,107 Speaker 5: and we remember the sort of heartbreak of San Francisco 1942 01:38:19,307 --> 01:38:22,627 Speaker 5: and cast Jimmy Spittle as a villain then, but actually 1943 01:38:22,747 --> 01:38:26,827 Speaker 5: he's a decent guy, great sailor and an extremely good 1944 01:38:26,947 --> 01:38:28,827 Speaker 5: leader that he's developed into over the years. 1945 01:38:28,987 --> 01:38:31,027 Speaker 2: Indeed. All right, let's look at the America's Cup match. 1946 01:38:31,067 --> 01:38:34,667 Speaker 2: You talked about Team New Zealand potentially going in cold, 1947 01:38:34,787 --> 01:38:37,307 Speaker 2: having not had any competitive racing since the early stages 1948 01:38:37,347 --> 01:38:39,907 Speaker 2: of the Leuis Vaton, which of course didn't really count anyway, 1949 01:38:39,987 --> 01:38:41,427 Speaker 2: but they at least they got out on the water. 1950 01:38:41,907 --> 01:38:44,627 Speaker 2: How do they negate that, because, as you say, any 1951 01:38:44,667 --> 01:38:46,667 Speaker 2: Ospritannia are coming in hot. 1952 01:38:47,307 --> 01:38:50,587 Speaker 5: Yeah, they sure are, and that's quite difficult to negate. 1953 01:38:50,747 --> 01:38:53,467 Speaker 5: So first things first is they need to concentrate on 1954 01:38:53,827 --> 01:38:56,027 Speaker 5: ensuring that they get the pre start and the start right, 1955 01:38:56,867 --> 01:38:58,707 Speaker 5: and they will have been doing a lot of homework 1956 01:38:58,747 --> 01:39:01,107 Speaker 5: around that. So they need to have a playbook so 1957 01:39:01,467 --> 01:39:03,187 Speaker 5: you know, if they do this, then we do that 1958 01:39:04,267 --> 01:39:06,467 Speaker 5: and if they respond. 1959 01:39:06,187 --> 01:39:07,147 Speaker 13: Here, we will do this. 1960 01:39:07,307 --> 01:39:10,187 Speaker 5: So they pre planned all of that out and that 1961 01:39:10,307 --> 01:39:13,947 Speaker 5: they have that playbook and routine or the choreography really 1962 01:39:14,147 --> 01:39:17,147 Speaker 5: clear in their mind so that they don't go into 1963 01:39:17,267 --> 01:39:21,707 Speaker 5: it having to react and respond to Sir Ben Ainsley's aggression, 1964 01:39:21,787 --> 01:39:23,907 Speaker 5: because that's what he will want. If they go in 1965 01:39:23,987 --> 01:39:27,267 Speaker 5: in that sort of situation, they'll get owned. So they 1966 01:39:27,347 --> 01:39:29,987 Speaker 5: need to really get their routines and playbooks sorted and 1967 01:39:30,187 --> 01:39:33,587 Speaker 5: to implement that and to have the ability to actually 1968 01:39:34,587 --> 01:39:38,227 Speaker 5: take the initiative as opposed to respond. What they want 1969 01:39:38,467 --> 01:39:41,227 Speaker 5: is at a minimum to get off even to get 1970 01:39:41,307 --> 01:39:44,027 Speaker 5: clean and even off the line, and then they will 1971 01:39:44,067 --> 01:39:46,627 Speaker 5: have confidence in Team New Zealand that ty hood of 1972 01:39:46,827 --> 01:39:51,347 Speaker 5: their boat will have at least even and possibly a 1973 01:39:51,467 --> 01:39:54,547 Speaker 5: speed edge. So if you can get off the line clean, 1974 01:39:54,787 --> 01:39:58,307 Speaker 5: if you can manufacture that first cross in front, then 1975 01:39:58,387 --> 01:40:01,067 Speaker 5: you have the ability to close down the race. What's 1976 01:40:01,147 --> 01:40:03,147 Speaker 5: going to be much more difficult as if they're behind. 1977 01:40:03,707 --> 01:40:06,707 Speaker 5: With the boundaries in these mouldern America's Cup co and 1978 01:40:06,787 --> 01:40:09,707 Speaker 5: how short the races are they're around twenty minutes in length, 1979 01:40:10,227 --> 01:40:14,227 Speaker 5: it's really difficult to manufacture a pass if the opponent 1980 01:40:14,347 --> 01:40:17,987 Speaker 5: in front of you doesn't make any mistakes. So beyond 1981 01:40:18,267 --> 01:40:20,947 Speaker 5: the priority of the prestart and the start and trying 1982 01:40:21,027 --> 01:40:23,307 Speaker 5: to just get your nose in front, they'll need to 1983 01:40:23,427 --> 01:40:26,427 Speaker 5: also have a playbook about how they if they are behind, 1984 01:40:27,187 --> 01:40:29,707 Speaker 5: don't try and roll the dice and take a high 1985 01:40:29,787 --> 01:40:32,307 Speaker 5: risk early on and fall further behind, but just to 1986 01:40:32,387 --> 01:40:34,987 Speaker 5: keep it close, keep chipping away and look for the 1987 01:40:35,027 --> 01:40:39,067 Speaker 5: opportunity to manufacture a pass. So they know all this 1988 01:40:39,747 --> 01:40:41,787 Speaker 5: the challenge of courses, they haven't had the chance to 1989 01:40:41,867 --> 01:40:44,827 Speaker 5: implement it in quite some time, and as you pointed 1990 01:40:44,867 --> 01:40:48,947 Speaker 5: out in the round robins, it counted for nothing for them, 1991 01:40:49,387 --> 01:40:52,427 Speaker 5: so very different when the pressure is on. So composure 1992 01:40:52,467 --> 01:40:54,787 Speaker 5: will be a big focus for the Team New Zealand 1993 01:40:54,827 --> 01:40:57,147 Speaker 5: crew over this America's Cup series. 1994 01:40:57,507 --> 01:41:01,827 Speaker 2: Just for reference, Mike on that difficulty in passing movements 1995 01:41:01,907 --> 01:41:05,227 Speaker 2: during the race, how often during the whole regatta have 1996 01:41:05,987 --> 01:41:11,227 Speaker 2: passed has been successfully implemented by any of these boats well, and. 1997 01:41:12,067 --> 01:41:14,987 Speaker 5: Certainly in the finals less and less so, and that's 1998 01:41:15,027 --> 01:41:18,867 Speaker 5: because the boats were so evenly matched. Interesting that that 1999 01:41:18,987 --> 01:41:23,107 Speaker 5: Anyos Britanna and Lunarossa Prataparelli actually quite different boats design wise, 2000 01:41:23,147 --> 01:41:26,067 Speaker 5: their foil packages different, even where they position their sailors 2001 01:41:26,787 --> 01:41:30,187 Speaker 5: and foil flight controllers on the boat is different. And 2002 01:41:30,307 --> 01:41:32,707 Speaker 5: yet they were so incredibly even in terms of their 2003 01:41:32,747 --> 01:41:36,947 Speaker 5: boat speed across a wide range of conditions. So that's 2004 01:41:36,987 --> 01:41:40,187 Speaker 5: what really surprised me. But when you've got really even 2005 01:41:40,267 --> 01:41:44,547 Speaker 5: boat speed, as is tradition and match racing sailing, the 2006 01:41:45,067 --> 01:41:49,427 Speaker 5: start and the first cross is incredibly important, but it's 2007 01:41:49,507 --> 01:41:53,107 Speaker 5: different if you have speed differential, So earlier in the 2008 01:41:53,227 --> 01:41:56,827 Speaker 5: comp in the round robins when we had greater differences 2009 01:41:56,867 --> 01:42:00,627 Speaker 5: in speed, then you did see a number of passes 2010 01:42:00,707 --> 01:42:03,107 Speaker 5: where a slower boat that was in front managed to 2011 01:42:03,147 --> 01:42:06,187 Speaker 5: get a good start, eventually comes under pressure and the 2012 01:42:06,347 --> 01:42:08,507 Speaker 5: trailing boat who's a little bit quicker can crack them 2013 01:42:08,787 --> 01:42:10,867 Speaker 5: and then when they get past them, they stretch. So 2014 01:42:11,027 --> 01:42:12,707 Speaker 5: Team New Zealand did that a couple of times in 2015 01:42:12,747 --> 01:42:16,867 Speaker 5: the round robin. So it's still a boat speed race. 2016 01:42:17,587 --> 01:42:20,507 Speaker 5: So Team New Zealand has been busy, even though they're 2017 01:42:20,507 --> 01:42:23,387 Speaker 5: not race ready, they've been busy developing their boat further. 2018 01:42:23,747 --> 01:42:25,947 Speaker 5: They had old sales on during the round robin, they 2019 01:42:26,027 --> 01:42:30,547 Speaker 5: didn't have their final foil configuration, so they will be 2020 01:42:30,747 --> 01:42:34,667 Speaker 5: hoping and perhaps have some confidence that the package that 2021 01:42:34,827 --> 01:42:38,627 Speaker 5: they've developed is going to have an edge and they will. 2022 01:42:38,827 --> 01:42:42,547 Speaker 5: If stay can make that stick and they can get 2023 01:42:43,027 --> 01:42:46,027 Speaker 5: good start and not end up getting owned by Sir 2024 01:42:46,107 --> 01:42:49,307 Speaker 5: Ben Ainsley in the pre starts, then I think that's 2025 01:42:49,347 --> 01:42:50,187 Speaker 5: their best shot. 2026 01:42:50,347 --> 01:42:52,987 Speaker 2: Team New Zealand against in the OS Britannia. From Nick Sunday, 2027 01:42:53,027 --> 01:42:55,587 Speaker 2: New Zealand Time for the thirty seventh America's Cup. Mark 2028 01:42:55,667 --> 01:42:57,667 Speaker 2: love chatting sailing with you. Thanks so much for your. 2029 01:42:57,507 --> 01:42:59,907 Speaker 5: Expertise pleasure pine it thanks mate. 2030 01:42:59,747 --> 01:43:01,987 Speaker 2: No, thank you mate. That's Mark Orams, Professor Mark ORMs 2031 01:43:02,347 --> 01:43:06,907 Speaker 2: with some real deep understanding of sailing. Obviously, it's Britannia 2032 01:43:07,387 --> 01:43:10,627 Speaker 2: up against Team New Zealand starting next Sunday morning, New 2033 01:43:10,747 --> 01:43:14,187 Speaker 2: Zealand time, same format as the Louis Bitton a best 2034 01:43:14,227 --> 01:43:17,587 Speaker 2: of thirteen series. So the first boat to claim seven 2035 01:43:17,787 --> 01:43:22,147 Speaker 2: race wins will claim the America's Cup, first contested back 2036 01:43:22,187 --> 01:43:25,427 Speaker 2: in eighteen fifty one, the thirty seventh running of the 2037 01:43:25,467 --> 01:43:29,187 Speaker 2: America's Cup, Team New Zealand against Inios Britannia. And as 2038 01:43:29,227 --> 01:43:32,027 Speaker 2: you heard Mark Orum say during that chat, Luna rossa 2039 01:43:32,107 --> 01:43:36,627 Speaker 2: Coe helmsman Jimmy Spittle, a larger than life personality in 2040 01:43:36,907 --> 01:43:39,707 Speaker 2: sailing circles, has announced his retirement from sailing. 2041 01:43:39,947 --> 01:43:42,347 Speaker 3: This is definitely my last one as an athlete. I 2042 01:43:42,427 --> 01:43:45,147 Speaker 3: mean I skip it my first team at nineteen in 2043 01:43:45,947 --> 01:43:48,467 Speaker 3: nineteen ninety nine, and I've driven a boat in every 2044 01:43:48,507 --> 01:43:50,907 Speaker 3: Cup up until now. And if you told me this 2045 01:43:51,147 --> 01:43:53,787 Speaker 3: is where the sport would be back then when I started, 2046 01:43:53,947 --> 01:43:55,827 Speaker 3: I mean I probably would have driven into the mental 2047 01:43:55,867 --> 01:43:56,707 Speaker 3: hospital myself. 2048 01:43:57,227 --> 01:44:00,867 Speaker 2: So a slight correction his retirement from America's Cup sailing. 2049 01:44:00,987 --> 01:44:04,267 Speaker 2: We may well see Jimmy Spittle do other sailing, but 2050 01:44:04,387 --> 01:44:08,787 Speaker 2: that's it for now anyway, And again who knows, But 2051 01:44:09,467 --> 01:44:12,867 Speaker 2: of course we'll always remember him for steering Oracle Team 2052 01:44:12,987 --> 01:44:16,467 Speaker 2: USA to that stunning victory over Team New Zealand back 2053 01:44:16,507 --> 01:44:20,187 Speaker 2: in twenty thirteen, coming from eight one down to win 2054 01:44:20,307 --> 01:44:22,907 Speaker 2: it nine to eight, one of the great comebacks of 2055 01:44:23,027 --> 01:44:27,107 Speaker 2: all time in any sport, twenty six to three.

Wayne Welcoman, I want to 2068 01:45:00,227 --> 01:45:03,467 Speaker 2: talk today about reviews, end of season reviews, end of 2069 01:45:03,507 --> 01:45:07,187 Speaker 2: Olympic campaign reviews, that sort of thing I've done dozens 2070 01:45:07,227 --> 01:45:09,987 Speaker 2: and dozens of these. So where do you start and 2071 01:45:10,107 --> 01:45:11,987 Speaker 2: what are the things that you look at? 2072 01:45:13,227 --> 01:45:16,347 Speaker 11: Well, that's a really good question, Piney, because I'm in 2073 01:45:16,427 --> 01:45:18,147 Speaker 11: the middle of two or three now. I'm in the 2074 01:45:18,267 --> 01:45:22,587 Speaker 11: middle of two from in Australian football codes and different codes, 2075 01:45:22,627 --> 01:45:26,147 Speaker 11: and a couple in Olympic sports. And I know when 2076 01:45:26,147 --> 01:45:27,827 Speaker 11: they ring me and they say how would you go 2077 01:45:27,987 --> 01:45:31,907 Speaker 11: about doing a review? I always think of the Liam 2078 01:45:31,987 --> 01:45:35,547 Speaker 11: Neesan line from Taking where he says I've developed a 2079 01:45:35,747 --> 01:45:38,867 Speaker 11: very special set of skills, skills that make me a 2080 01:45:39,027 --> 01:45:42,707 Speaker 11: nightmare for people like you. Because what I say to 2081 01:45:42,787 --> 01:45:43,907 Speaker 11: people is they say, what are. 2082 01:45:43,827 --> 01:45:44,387 Speaker 10: You going to look at? 2083 01:45:44,467 --> 01:45:48,267 Speaker 11: And I say everything and nothing. And I'm becoming very zen, 2084 01:45:48,387 --> 01:45:51,747 Speaker 11: I think as I get older, because I think if 2085 01:45:51,787 --> 01:45:54,427 Speaker 11: you go in your start a review with a preconceived 2086 01:45:54,547 --> 01:45:58,307 Speaker 11: notion of saying I think from a distant it looks 2087 01:45:58,387 --> 01:46:01,347 Speaker 11: like this, you'll end up only looking at one thing, 2088 01:46:01,867 --> 01:46:04,747 Speaker 11: Whereas quite often what's required as you come in and 2089 01:46:04,827 --> 01:46:07,827 Speaker 11: you've got to look at everything, and so often say 2090 01:46:07,827 --> 01:46:12,227 Speaker 11: to I'll look at things like the culture and coaches 2091 01:46:12,947 --> 01:46:17,907 Speaker 11: and the players and your roster and your budget and facilities, 2092 01:46:18,427 --> 01:46:22,267 Speaker 11: and importantly the interaction between all those things. So, like 2093 01:46:22,387 --> 01:46:24,987 Speaker 11: I said, we look at everything and we look at nothing. 2094 01:46:25,747 --> 01:46:30,227 Speaker 2: So then when you've established a bit of understanding about 2095 01:46:30,587 --> 01:46:33,547 Speaker 2: the different parts of the organization, the different parts of 2096 01:46:33,627 --> 01:46:36,987 Speaker 2: the campaign, players, coaches, culture, leadership, all those things you've 2097 01:46:37,027 --> 01:46:39,827 Speaker 2: mentioned in more, then what Wayne. 2098 01:46:41,147 --> 01:46:44,387 Speaker 11: Well, it's a matter of coming in and spending time 2099 01:46:44,867 --> 01:46:48,187 Speaker 11: talking to people about what their views are. Look I 2100 01:46:48,227 --> 01:46:51,987 Speaker 11: actually say two clubs the best time to do a 2101 01:46:52,067 --> 01:46:55,467 Speaker 11: review is about six weeks from the end of the 2102 01:46:55,547 --> 01:47:00,387 Speaker 11: year because people are doing what they do the danger 2103 01:47:00,467 --> 01:47:02,707 Speaker 11: in doing and I find it all the time pioneers. 2104 01:47:02,747 --> 01:47:05,627 Speaker 11: I come in and I do an end of season review, 2105 01:47:06,467 --> 01:47:11,507 Speaker 11: and people's reflection and the stories they tell about what 2106 01:47:11,707 --> 01:47:16,107 Speaker 11: they think happened is very very different maybe what actually happened. 2107 01:47:16,347 --> 01:47:18,307 Speaker 11: So you've got to look at the data if there's 2108 01:47:18,387 --> 01:47:22,147 Speaker 11: data available, You've got to talk to people from different perspectives, 2109 01:47:22,227 --> 01:47:27,147 Speaker 11: and so you might obviously you'll interview coaches, sports on once, sports, medicine, staff, 2110 01:47:27,347 --> 01:47:32,147 Speaker 11: medical staff, management, players of course people around it and 2111 01:47:32,347 --> 01:47:36,267 Speaker 11: develop an overall perspective of what may or may not 2112 01:47:36,587 --> 01:47:41,187 Speaker 11: be happening. Because people's ability to tell a narrative of 2113 01:47:41,387 --> 01:47:45,707 Speaker 11: their own experience and their own contribution to year changes 2114 01:47:46,187 --> 01:47:48,307 Speaker 11: a lot at the end of the year, but you 2115 01:47:49,547 --> 01:47:53,707 Speaker 11: start to put everything together, and some of it is screaming. 2116 01:47:54,107 --> 01:47:56,507 Speaker 11: So for example, you might go into a rugby review 2117 01:47:57,107 --> 01:47:59,787 Speaker 11: and you might be looking at the fence. Well, you 2118 01:47:59,867 --> 01:48:04,467 Speaker 11: can pull out so much data on tackles made, tackles missed. 2119 01:48:04,907 --> 01:48:07,547 Speaker 11: You can look at so much on it and that'll 2120 01:48:07,587 --> 01:48:10,827 Speaker 11: give you a bit of an insight into maybe the 2121 01:48:10,907 --> 01:48:14,107 Speaker 11: way that the defensive coach is working, or maybe their 2122 01:48:14,187 --> 01:48:17,467 Speaker 11: technical elements, or the skill level of the players. So 2123 01:48:17,667 --> 01:48:21,987 Speaker 11: sometimes it's really easy because you've got data. Other times, 2124 01:48:22,067 --> 01:48:29,427 Speaker 11: things like leadership, communication, relationships, culture, they're hard to see, 2125 01:48:29,627 --> 01:48:32,587 Speaker 11: hard to measure, particularly at the end of the season. 2126 01:48:32,707 --> 01:48:34,867 Speaker 11: So a bit of a jigsaw puzzle. It is like 2127 01:48:35,307 --> 01:48:39,547 Speaker 11: putting a puzzle together to try and find the real truth. 2128 01:48:39,667 --> 01:48:42,067 Speaker 11: And you know that great phrase I use off and 2129 01:48:42,227 --> 01:48:44,667 Speaker 11: is it's no good coming up with a great solution 2130 01:48:45,307 --> 01:48:48,347 Speaker 11: to the wrong problem. So that quite often I'll go 2131 01:48:48,467 --> 01:48:50,387 Speaker 11: in and I'll say what do you think. I say, oh, 2132 01:48:50,427 --> 01:48:52,507 Speaker 11: I think it's a culture thing, and they go, thanks, Wayne, 2133 01:48:52,507 --> 01:48:54,827 Speaker 11: We're going to build a new gym and it's got 2134 01:48:54,947 --> 01:48:59,027 Speaker 11: nothing to do with the culture. But because you can 2135 01:48:59,147 --> 01:49:01,267 Speaker 11: see a gym, you can buy a gym, you can 2136 01:49:01,987 --> 01:49:06,107 Speaker 11: build an extension to a part of the ground because 2137 01:49:06,107 --> 01:49:08,547 Speaker 11: you actually see those things. Quite often people do that 2138 01:49:09,267 --> 01:49:11,707 Speaker 11: rather than address what the real problem might be. 2139 01:49:12,307 --> 01:49:14,987 Speaker 2: You send me a neat little way, actually quite a 2140 01:49:14,987 --> 01:49:18,187 Speaker 2: few neat little sort of things as part of your 2141 01:49:18,227 --> 01:49:21,147 Speaker 2: notes for this particular segment. You're talking here about the 2142 01:49:21,267 --> 01:49:23,667 Speaker 2: three S model, when you're looking at what's working and 2143 01:49:23,747 --> 01:49:28,747 Speaker 2: what's not, things you need to sustain, stop and start. 2144 01:49:28,867 --> 01:49:30,707 Speaker 2: Can you just unpack that a bit for us. 2145 01:49:31,547 --> 01:49:31,707 Speaker 15: Yeah. 2146 01:49:31,787 --> 01:49:34,427 Speaker 11: I think in the end, all of the best reviews 2147 01:49:34,507 --> 01:49:38,147 Speaker 11: I do come down to a very simple concept, which 2148 01:49:38,267 --> 01:49:41,147 Speaker 11: is what is it that we're doing that we should sustain, 2149 01:49:41,307 --> 01:49:43,907 Speaker 11: keep doing What is it we're doing that's working, Because 2150 01:49:44,027 --> 01:49:46,787 Speaker 11: just because the team might have come tent, it doesn't 2151 01:49:46,827 --> 01:49:49,787 Speaker 11: mean everything's wrong. I think while people make a mistake 2152 01:49:49,867 --> 01:49:52,227 Speaker 11: in reviews by any they go, well, we came tent, 2153 01:49:52,307 --> 01:49:55,587 Speaker 11: therefore everybody and everything's wrong, and let's throw it all 2154 01:49:55,667 --> 01:49:58,787 Speaker 11: out and start again. It's never really the case. There's 2155 01:49:58,867 --> 01:50:03,467 Speaker 11: always there's always some things that are working, and maybe 2156 01:50:03,507 --> 01:50:05,667 Speaker 11: they're just not working in the right way, or maybe 2157 01:50:05,707 --> 01:50:08,867 Speaker 11: they'd over the right resourcing, or they're not being used 2158 01:50:08,867 --> 01:50:12,307 Speaker 11: at the right time. Or there's some political roadblocks there. 2159 01:50:12,587 --> 01:50:14,787 Speaker 11: So I say to people, there's going to be something 2160 01:50:14,867 --> 01:50:17,107 Speaker 11: that's working. There'll be some things that you go, you 2161 01:50:17,187 --> 01:50:21,467 Speaker 11: know what, Our defense is really good, our communication is great, 2162 01:50:22,147 --> 01:50:24,587 Speaker 11: the connection between the players and the coaches is great. 2163 01:50:24,587 --> 01:50:27,667 Speaker 11: All right, let's keep that. That's solid gold. And then 2164 01:50:27,707 --> 01:50:31,547 Speaker 11: there'll be some really obvious things that you should stop doing. 2165 01:50:31,667 --> 01:50:34,587 Speaker 11: So it'll really screwing because people are very good at 2166 01:50:34,667 --> 01:50:39,307 Speaker 11: identifying problems much better than identifying things that are working 2167 01:50:39,387 --> 01:50:41,827 Speaker 11: and going well. So overly say, guys, these are the 2168 01:50:41,907 --> 01:50:44,667 Speaker 11: things we know that are impeding our progress and not 2169 01:50:44,787 --> 01:50:47,147 Speaker 11: helping us get better. We stop that, and then of 2170 01:50:47,227 --> 01:50:50,987 Speaker 11: course everybody learns. So the third thing is so keep doing, 2171 01:50:51,347 --> 01:50:54,747 Speaker 11: stop doing, start doing, or sustain stop and start. And 2172 01:50:54,827 --> 01:50:57,947 Speaker 11: then there's some things that you'll learn watching the better teams, 2173 01:50:58,507 --> 01:51:02,747 Speaker 11: by studying, by research, by reflecting, by looking at what 2174 01:51:02,907 --> 01:51:04,827 Speaker 11: you're doing, you'll go, you know what we learned this year, 2175 01:51:05,187 --> 01:51:07,907 Speaker 11: we shouldn't do that to change this, we should add that. 2176 01:51:08,627 --> 01:51:11,427 Speaker 11: So when I get around to reporting it back to 2177 01:51:11,587 --> 01:51:15,667 Speaker 11: coaches and boards and executives, hey, guys, keep it simple. 2178 01:51:16,147 --> 01:51:18,187 Speaker 11: This is what you're doing that's working. This is stuff 2179 01:51:18,227 --> 01:51:20,707 Speaker 11: that's not working, and here's some suggestions for how to 2180 01:51:20,787 --> 01:51:21,307 Speaker 11: make it better. 2181 01:51:22,627 --> 01:51:24,947 Speaker 2: Do you need to challenge yourself? Will be ready to 2182 01:51:25,107 --> 01:51:28,347 Speaker 2: challenge yourself as an organization, because I'm sure you could 2183 01:51:28,347 --> 01:51:32,587 Speaker 2: do a very good review for somebody and present it 2184 01:51:32,707 --> 01:51:34,947 Speaker 2: to them all your findings, all the data that backs 2185 01:51:34,987 --> 01:51:37,947 Speaker 2: it all up. But an organization still has to be 2186 01:51:38,147 --> 01:51:41,427 Speaker 2: willing to be open to change, don't they. 2187 01:51:42,907 --> 01:51:43,627 Speaker 9: Yeah, they've got to be. 2188 01:51:43,707 --> 01:51:47,227 Speaker 11: There's a great line I love is when the student 2189 01:51:47,387 --> 01:51:49,947 Speaker 11: is ready, the teachers shall be found. I think when 2190 01:51:49,987 --> 01:51:54,187 Speaker 11: they're ready to learn that it's quite easily. It's believe 2191 01:51:54,227 --> 01:51:56,627 Speaker 11: it or not. This job's a lot simpler than people think, 2192 01:51:57,307 --> 01:51:59,147 Speaker 11: because if you've been around a little bit and you're 2193 01:51:59,187 --> 01:52:02,867 Speaker 11: open minded and you spend time really listening to people, 2194 01:52:03,347 --> 01:52:05,867 Speaker 11: the problems are only right in front of you. But 2195 01:52:06,187 --> 01:52:09,827 Speaker 11: there's blockages either you don't like them, or you've got 2196 01:52:09,827 --> 01:52:13,307 Speaker 11: a political issue, a personality conflict. Quite often, if you're 2197 01:52:13,347 --> 01:52:16,987 Speaker 11: immersed in the environment, you don't see the obvious. And 2198 01:52:17,307 --> 01:52:20,227 Speaker 11: as a great friend of mine, Jackie, may she rest 2199 01:52:20,267 --> 01:52:22,387 Speaker 11: in peace. Jackie used to say to me, Goali, you 2200 01:52:22,467 --> 01:52:25,187 Speaker 11: are the master of the bloody obvious. And I said, 2201 01:52:25,227 --> 01:52:28,507 Speaker 11: but Jack, that's what it is most of the time, 2202 01:52:29,267 --> 01:52:32,947 Speaker 11: what's not working or the problems that are holding people 2203 01:52:33,027 --> 01:52:36,187 Speaker 11: back from realizing their potential are really obvious. They're right 2204 01:52:36,227 --> 01:52:39,387 Speaker 11: in front of them, but they're blinded because of proximity. 2205 01:52:39,467 --> 01:52:43,147 Speaker 11: They're too close to them to actually see what's screaming 2206 01:52:43,227 --> 01:52:46,627 Speaker 11: out to someone independent. And that's good because that pays 2207 01:52:46,667 --> 01:52:49,707 Speaker 11: my mortgage job. I like coming in just pointing things 2208 01:52:49,787 --> 01:52:52,947 Speaker 11: out the people that they already know. Piney often say 2209 01:52:52,987 --> 01:52:55,627 Speaker 11: to people, I'm not particularly clever, and I'm really not. 2210 01:52:56,227 --> 01:52:59,107 Speaker 11: I'm not particularly clever, I'm not particularly brilliant. All I'm 2211 01:52:59,147 --> 01:53:01,907 Speaker 11: doing is pointing out what's right in front of you 2212 01:53:02,267 --> 01:53:05,067 Speaker 11: that you can't see. It's very rarely you'll come in 2213 01:53:05,107 --> 01:53:08,187 Speaker 11: and go, I've got to evolutionary breakthrough idea that you've 2214 01:53:08,267 --> 01:53:10,627 Speaker 11: never thought of. Most of the time you're pointing out 2215 01:53:11,227 --> 01:53:14,507 Speaker 11: things that they already know, but they just can't see 2216 01:53:14,507 --> 01:53:15,947 Speaker 11: them because they're too close to them. 2217 01:53:16,547 --> 01:53:18,747 Speaker 2: Have you ever been in a situation where you've been 2218 01:53:18,827 --> 01:53:23,387 Speaker 2: commissioned to conduct a review and then somebody who's in 2219 01:53:23,507 --> 01:53:25,547 Speaker 2: charge at the organization has said to you, hey, you'll 2220 01:53:25,587 --> 01:53:28,387 Speaker 2: be really good if you could actually find this. You 2221 01:53:28,467 --> 01:53:32,187 Speaker 2: know almost almost I guess try to predetermine what you're 2222 01:53:32,227 --> 01:53:33,427 Speaker 2: going to find in your review. 2223 01:53:34,827 --> 01:53:38,187 Speaker 11: Mate. It happens more than I'd like to think about that. 2224 01:53:38,707 --> 01:53:41,387 Speaker 11: There was a funny story years ago, I was asked. 2225 01:53:41,547 --> 01:53:44,627 Speaker 11: I got called by a CEO of one of the 2226 01:53:44,667 --> 01:53:49,307 Speaker 11: Melbourne based AFL clubs and I came in. We went 2227 01:53:49,347 --> 01:53:52,067 Speaker 11: through the terms of reference of the review, talked about 2228 01:53:52,147 --> 01:53:55,187 Speaker 11: look and you know, he was passionate, and he talked 2229 01:53:55,227 --> 01:53:58,147 Speaker 11: about we want to get better, we want to be competitive, 2230 01:53:58,707 --> 01:54:00,667 Speaker 11: we want to grow our fans, you know, we want 2231 01:54:00,747 --> 01:54:03,547 Speaker 11: to be seen as having an exciting type of football. 2232 01:54:03,707 --> 01:54:06,067 Speaker 11: You know, he's really excited. Anyway, I go back to 2233 01:54:06,147 --> 01:54:09,227 Speaker 11: my hotel that night and my phone rings. I picked 2234 01:54:09,267 --> 01:54:12,307 Speaker 11: it up. Wayne Goldsmith are going and it's the chair 2235 01:54:12,387 --> 01:54:16,387 Speaker 11: of the board of the football club. And he said, Wayne, look, 2236 01:54:16,427 --> 01:54:18,227 Speaker 11: i've heard you're in town. I know you're here to 2237 01:54:18,307 --> 01:54:20,027 Speaker 11: do the review. I wonder if you got time to 2238 01:54:20,067 --> 01:54:22,947 Speaker 11: catch up and turns up, picks me up in a 2239 01:54:23,027 --> 01:54:26,227 Speaker 11: nice car, takes me out to the Melbourne water of 2240 01:54:26,347 --> 01:54:29,467 Speaker 11: the Bayfront and we're sitting there having a nice meal, 2241 01:54:29,587 --> 01:54:32,587 Speaker 11: just talking footy and performance and sport and kids and 2242 01:54:32,867 --> 01:54:35,067 Speaker 11: everything else. And he said, he said, Wayne, I want 2243 01:54:35,107 --> 01:54:38,227 Speaker 11: to tell you something. He said, I want you to 2244 01:54:38,347 --> 01:54:41,147 Speaker 11: find this, and he gave me a little piece of paper. God, 2245 01:54:41,187 --> 01:54:43,307 Speaker 11: I wish I kept that piece of paper pinting. And 2246 01:54:43,387 --> 01:54:44,947 Speaker 11: he gave me a little piece of paper and on 2247 01:54:45,067 --> 01:54:51,707 Speaker 11: it it had sax CEO remove headcakes. And he looked 2248 01:54:51,787 --> 01:54:55,387 Speaker 11: me square in the eyes of very well known media 2249 01:54:55,587 --> 01:54:57,507 Speaker 11: identity as well, and he looked me square in the 2250 01:54:57,587 --> 01:55:00,987 Speaker 11: eyes and said, if you want to get paid, that's 2251 01:55:01,027 --> 01:55:02,387 Speaker 11: what you're going to find in your review. 2252 01:55:02,587 --> 01:55:02,827 Speaker 6: Wow. 2253 01:55:03,427 --> 01:55:05,587 Speaker 11: Because I was taken aback, I was a bit waffled 2254 01:55:05,587 --> 01:55:07,907 Speaker 11: a bit. I think, said, oh, look I want to do. 2255 01:55:08,027 --> 01:55:11,787 Speaker 11: He said, Wayne, do whatever you like, look at everything, 2256 01:55:12,387 --> 01:55:15,907 Speaker 11: come up with whatever process you want. But if you 2257 01:55:15,987 --> 01:55:19,227 Speaker 11: don't find those things, you won't get paid. And it 2258 01:55:19,427 --> 01:55:22,107 Speaker 11: was a challenge, mate, because which you know, you try 2259 01:55:22,227 --> 01:55:27,267 Speaker 11: to live a life of ethics and business principles and 2260 01:55:27,427 --> 01:55:30,627 Speaker 11: someone looked at you from high profile and says, if 2261 01:55:30,707 --> 01:55:32,267 Speaker 11: you don't find this, you're not going to get paid. 2262 01:55:32,707 --> 01:55:34,547 Speaker 11: So I went away and I thought about it overnight 2263 01:55:34,587 --> 01:55:37,547 Speaker 11: and talked a great friend of mine also in the business, 2264 01:55:38,147 --> 01:55:40,107 Speaker 11: and what we ended up doing is I did the 2265 01:55:40,187 --> 01:55:43,347 Speaker 11: review and I had an agreement that I would give 2266 01:55:43,387 --> 01:55:46,667 Speaker 11: it to the chairman to look at first, which I did, 2267 01:55:46,907 --> 01:55:48,827 Speaker 11: and as it turns out, he was pretty much on 2268 01:55:48,947 --> 01:55:51,227 Speaker 11: the money. But yeah, you get that from time to time. 2269 01:55:51,307 --> 01:55:54,947 Speaker 11: And because I think you know that great phrase to 2270 01:55:55,587 --> 01:55:59,507 Speaker 11: someone with a hammer, every problem is a nail. If 2271 01:55:59,547 --> 01:56:03,187 Speaker 11: you get someone to do a review who's an attacking 2272 01:56:03,627 --> 01:56:06,067 Speaker 11: rugby coach, they're going to come and say, you know what, 2273 01:56:06,187 --> 01:56:08,747 Speaker 11: you guys don't attack as much as you should. Where 2274 01:56:08,827 --> 01:56:12,387 Speaker 11: you get someone who's a physiotherapist still come in and go, 2275 01:56:12,627 --> 01:56:14,947 Speaker 11: you know what, you're not doing enough in the injury 2276 01:56:14,987 --> 01:56:19,067 Speaker 11: management space, whereas the reality is it's never one thing. 2277 01:56:19,187 --> 01:56:24,307 Speaker 11: It's always a blend, an integration. It's it's several things 2278 01:56:24,387 --> 01:56:27,667 Speaker 11: that are happening concurrently. It's very rarely you walk in 2279 01:56:27,747 --> 01:56:30,347 Speaker 11: you go, you know what, guys, change that one thing 2280 01:56:30,547 --> 01:56:34,667 Speaker 11: and I guarantee everything will be successful. And if anyone 2281 01:56:34,707 --> 01:56:36,587 Speaker 11: tells you that, you know that they're alling. 2282 01:56:37,387 --> 01:56:39,867 Speaker 2: Just to bring it back to the concept of reviewing 2283 01:56:40,147 --> 01:56:44,387 Speaker 2: to finish, shouldn't reviewing be happening, you know, sort of 2284 01:56:44,467 --> 01:56:46,747 Speaker 2: an ongoing fashion way and you shouldn't have to wait 2285 01:56:47,187 --> 01:56:49,067 Speaker 2: till a point in time, be it at the end 2286 01:56:49,067 --> 01:56:51,347 Speaker 2: of the season or as you suggested six weeks from 2287 01:56:51,387 --> 01:56:54,267 Speaker 2: the inter review. Shouldn't you always be looking at your 2288 01:56:54,307 --> 01:56:55,787 Speaker 2: performance and reviewing what you're doing? 2289 01:56:56,667 --> 01:57:00,107 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's and that's the really the bottom point pointing 2290 01:57:00,787 --> 01:57:03,227 Speaker 11: I should actually be out of business. You know, don't 2291 01:57:03,227 --> 01:57:05,387 Speaker 11: tell my wife has said that, but I should actually 2292 01:57:05,427 --> 01:57:07,547 Speaker 11: be out of business. I should have no work. Because 2293 01:57:08,227 --> 01:57:12,227 Speaker 11: when you go into a really high performing group, at 2294 01:57:12,307 --> 01:57:14,627 Speaker 11: the end of every training session, the coaches are sitting 2295 01:57:14,667 --> 01:57:17,147 Speaker 11: around having a coffee saying, hey, guys, what worked, what 2296 01:57:17,307 --> 01:57:19,907 Speaker 11: didn't work, and what should we change before the next session. 2297 01:57:20,307 --> 01:57:23,947 Speaker 11: They're living a continual review process what we call they 2298 01:57:24,067 --> 01:57:28,947 Speaker 11: live a continuous improvement culture. So after every session, after 2299 01:57:29,067 --> 01:57:32,747 Speaker 11: everything they do, they're continually saying, can we do better? 2300 01:57:32,907 --> 01:57:37,907 Speaker 11: And they've got a culture based on honesty where they 2301 01:57:37,947 --> 01:57:39,867 Speaker 11: can look at each other and say, you know what, Pony, 2302 01:57:40,067 --> 01:57:42,787 Speaker 11: I think you could have done that better, and then you, 2303 01:57:43,627 --> 01:57:47,467 Speaker 11: with trust and with connection with me, would go, really, Wayne, 2304 01:57:47,507 --> 01:57:49,667 Speaker 11: So instead of going when you'd have no idea what 2305 01:57:49,787 --> 01:57:52,907 Speaker 11: you're doing, you would say, if in a culture that's working, 2306 01:57:52,987 --> 01:57:56,507 Speaker 11: a real performance culture, you would say, really, Wayne, what 2307 01:57:56,667 --> 01:57:59,027 Speaker 11: do you think I could do better? And you've got 2308 01:57:59,107 --> 01:58:04,867 Speaker 11: this open sharing, transparent way of growing ideas and you're 2309 01:58:04,907 --> 01:58:09,827 Speaker 11: in this continuous improvement culture. When you've got that, you're unstoppable. 2310 01:58:10,187 --> 01:58:12,507 Speaker 11: And that's what you would see walking in a penirate. 2311 01:58:12,587 --> 01:58:15,547 Speaker 11: That's what you would see walking into I dare say 2312 01:58:15,627 --> 01:58:18,027 Speaker 11: the great All Blacks, that's what you'd see when you 2313 01:58:18,187 --> 01:58:22,867 Speaker 11: walk into an environment that's really clicking. They're living an 2314 01:58:22,947 --> 01:58:26,427 Speaker 11: environment of continuous improvement. And there's no idea, no need 2315 01:58:26,507 --> 01:58:27,467 Speaker 11: for knuckleheads like me. 2316 01:58:28,427 --> 01:58:31,187 Speaker 2: Well there always will be.
