Nice to have 10 00:00:49,733 --> 00:00:53,173 Speaker 3: you with us. Coming up this week, Dopy Devine returns 11 00:00:53,213 --> 00:00:55,573 Speaker 3: to the White Funds for the Aussie series of free 12 00:00:55,653 --> 00:01:00,613 Speaker 3: t twenties. Black Caps non contracted players have given another 13 00:01:00,693 --> 00:01:04,933 Speaker 3: chance to qualify for the World Cup. We'll be and 14 00:01:05,333 --> 00:01:09,493 Speaker 3: some well alarming news or is it good news for 15 00:01:09,533 --> 00:01:13,453 Speaker 3: the game of cricket. It's just emanating out of Australia. 16 00:01:14,373 --> 00:01:20,933 Speaker 3: That's a Saudi backed Global twenty twenty league is looking 17 00:01:20,973 --> 00:01:23,933 Speaker 3: to take off. They've got megabucks to spend. It sounds 18 00:01:23,973 --> 00:01:27,613 Speaker 3: as though Greg Norman's mates are in the action, but 19 00:01:27,773 --> 00:01:32,253 Speaker 3: it's all been set up by the Australian Cricketers Association 20 00:01:32,493 --> 00:01:35,533 Speaker 3: and ultimately the Australian Cricket Board. The league would be 21 00:01:35,613 --> 00:01:39,973 Speaker 3: owned primarily by the ICC and and Saudi Arabia's public 22 00:01:40,013 --> 00:01:43,693 Speaker 3: Investment Fund, with a smaller state for the players. Here 23 00:01:43,693 --> 00:01:46,693 Speaker 3: it is four annual tournaments will be played over a 24 00:01:46,733 --> 00:01:52,293 Speaker 3: week each in iconic locations around the world, followed by 25 00:01:52,293 --> 00:01:56,013 Speaker 3: a final at year's end. The eight city based teams 26 00:01:56,493 --> 00:02:01,893 Speaker 3: would be chosen for their cultural cachet, whatever that means. 27 00:02:02,213 --> 00:02:05,533 Speaker 3: Jeremy Caty's with us and a regular contributor to the program. 28 00:02:05,653 --> 00:02:10,733 Speaker 3: Peter Holland Moose joins us. One more firstly, JC, do 29 00:02:10,773 --> 00:02:14,253 Speaker 3: we need another T twenty tournament? I know the money's great, 30 00:02:14,333 --> 00:02:17,653 Speaker 3: but do we need another month to six weeks of 31 00:02:17,773 --> 00:02:19,973 Speaker 3: T twenty cricket for the rich? 32 00:02:22,613 --> 00:02:25,173 Speaker 4: Well, that's the first question you ask yourself, isn't it 33 00:02:25,213 --> 00:02:30,333 Speaker 4: as you look at these things, you know this is 34 00:02:30,373 --> 00:02:34,493 Speaker 4: something new, it's in other words, it's additional. This is not, 35 00:02:35,093 --> 00:02:38,933 Speaker 4: you know, a schedule that's already crammed at a tipping 36 00:02:38,973 --> 00:02:43,373 Speaker 4: point and overflowing really and a desperate need to kind 37 00:02:43,373 --> 00:02:47,493 Speaker 4: of rationalize and reorganize it so that it has some 38 00:02:47,613 --> 00:02:53,653 Speaker 4: meaningful organization and so, and this is something new, as 39 00:02:53,693 --> 00:02:56,613 Speaker 4: you say, could be four weeks, five weeks, six weeks, 40 00:02:56,933 --> 00:03:00,213 Speaker 4: there's a final as well. I think there are eight teams, 41 00:03:00,213 --> 00:03:02,373 Speaker 4: aren't there brands? Is that what I read that? 42 00:03:04,093 --> 00:03:05,013 Speaker 2: Yeah? 43 00:03:05,093 --> 00:03:09,893 Speaker 4: So yeah, that that's the first thing I think that 44 00:03:09,973 --> 00:03:12,053 Speaker 4: you begin to think about. I did read there. I 45 00:03:12,093 --> 00:03:16,973 Speaker 4: think they will use vacant windows in the year to 46 00:03:17,093 --> 00:03:21,893 Speaker 4: run it. Well, I'm not sure where are those vacant 47 00:03:21,933 --> 00:03:25,573 Speaker 4: places to run this thing? You know, there's literally nowhere 48 00:03:26,733 --> 00:03:30,533 Speaker 4: and so I mean there's always somewhere where high level 49 00:03:30,533 --> 00:03:35,453 Speaker 4: cricket is being played. So that is an issue. I 50 00:03:35,493 --> 00:03:40,133 Speaker 4: think that's an issue. Yes, indeed, so just loads more 51 00:03:40,173 --> 00:03:43,933 Speaker 4: squeeze squeeze on bilateral games if it goes ahead. 52 00:03:44,333 --> 00:03:47,413 Speaker 3: Peter Holand what do you think a Wellington team called 53 00:03:47,453 --> 00:03:52,333 Speaker 3: the Hurricanes or the Phoenix or perhaps the Auckland Gladiators, 54 00:03:52,373 --> 00:03:58,813 Speaker 3: the Canterbury Crusaders or wow, I don't know, is it necessary. 55 00:03:59,533 --> 00:04:01,613 Speaker 2: The one thing that I would say is that you 56 00:04:01,693 --> 00:04:03,933 Speaker 2: use the word cachet. Well, they've got plenty of that. 57 00:04:04,893 --> 00:04:08,613 Speaker 2: And he thought that they would be holding World World 58 00:04:08,693 --> 00:04:12,293 Speaker 2: Championships and boxing in Saudi three years ago, four years ago, 59 00:04:12,413 --> 00:04:16,293 Speaker 2: you wouldn't have thought of that. They're holding soccer leagues, 60 00:04:17,653 --> 00:04:19,853 Speaker 2: paying amount of money they're paying. The people are Ronaldo 61 00:04:20,013 --> 00:04:24,853 Speaker 2: and so on. The thing is with these people, when 62 00:04:24,853 --> 00:04:28,173 Speaker 2: you've got that much capital, it's hard to rule them 63 00:04:28,213 --> 00:04:31,453 Speaker 2: out because they just become serious. Absent capital, that then 64 00:04:31,493 --> 00:04:34,493 Speaker 2: it becomes a nonsense. But money will speak and we 65 00:04:34,573 --> 00:04:37,173 Speaker 2: know that the players will follow that. Now, whether it 66 00:04:37,213 --> 00:04:40,733 Speaker 2: fails in a period of time, I don't know. So look, 67 00:04:42,093 --> 00:04:44,453 Speaker 2: take it seriously. I think you have to, simply because 68 00:04:45,653 --> 00:04:49,253 Speaker 2: they've got more money than they know what to do with, 69 00:04:49,373 --> 00:04:53,733 Speaker 2: and they seem to be collecting sports, Tennis is apparently 70 00:04:53,893 --> 00:04:56,733 Speaker 2: it seems. It seems seems sort of in their eyesight, 71 00:04:58,733 --> 00:05:04,133 Speaker 2: nothing is off limits to them, and hey, it's their money, 72 00:05:04,333 --> 00:05:07,293 Speaker 2: their capital. So I just think we watch and wait, 73 00:05:09,213 --> 00:05:11,813 Speaker 2: gee whiz, you wouldn't mind being young cricketer these days, would. 74 00:05:11,693 --> 00:05:16,613 Speaker 3: You if there's that opportunity for young cricket. Of the players, 75 00:05:16,973 --> 00:05:19,813 Speaker 3: the money seems to go to the same people over 76 00:05:19,813 --> 00:05:22,333 Speaker 3: and over again, and that's usually those who hold the 77 00:05:22,373 --> 00:05:25,253 Speaker 3: purse strings get most of the money anyway. But it'll 78 00:05:25,293 --> 00:05:28,133 Speaker 3: be interesting they talk about it being able to fund 79 00:05:28,493 --> 00:05:31,013 Speaker 3: Test cricket, and there's a lot of talk to be had. 80 00:05:31,213 --> 00:05:33,853 Speaker 3: It's it's not even up and coming. But when you've 81 00:05:33,853 --> 00:05:37,693 Speaker 3: got people who are being asked for questions and they 82 00:05:37,733 --> 00:05:40,053 Speaker 3: have no comment to make you know it's alive, and 83 00:05:40,093 --> 00:05:41,333 Speaker 3: well don't you, Jerry. 84 00:05:41,933 --> 00:05:44,773 Speaker 4: You do And it's actually I think been planned for 85 00:05:44,853 --> 00:05:49,773 Speaker 4: some time once. I think it's been going for a 86 00:05:49,853 --> 00:05:53,573 Speaker 4: year or two now. They've been discussing this, and certainly 87 00:05:54,813 --> 00:05:59,333 Speaker 4: we've all noticed that Saudi money has been sniffing around cricket. 88 00:06:00,533 --> 00:06:03,133 Speaker 4: It's in the IPL, We've all seen those that's in 89 00:06:03,213 --> 00:06:05,773 Speaker 4: the ICC. We've seen the words of Ramco and all 90 00:06:05,813 --> 00:06:11,053 Speaker 4: those kinds of names. And they've got plenty of money 91 00:06:11,693 --> 00:06:16,853 Speaker 4: to involve and influence what they would like to do 92 00:06:16,973 --> 00:06:20,933 Speaker 4: with it. And they're talking about half a billion here. 93 00:06:22,533 --> 00:06:25,653 Speaker 4: Whether they're going to work with India is a pike 94 00:06:25,813 --> 00:06:28,893 Speaker 4: guess a possibility with the IPL and then have it 95 00:06:28,973 --> 00:06:32,613 Speaker 4: go on to the Saudi one the SPL. I don't know. 96 00:06:33,293 --> 00:06:35,773 Speaker 4: The interesting thing you mentioned there at the beginning that 97 00:06:35,853 --> 00:06:42,693 Speaker 4: I noticed was Ozzie's been involved through the association the 98 00:06:43,413 --> 00:06:48,733 Speaker 4: players associate their union in other words, and I just wondered, 99 00:06:49,773 --> 00:06:52,013 Speaker 4: did they get in Are they trying to get in 100 00:06:52,093 --> 00:06:57,973 Speaker 4: early and influence where some of that Saudi money might 101 00:06:58,093 --> 00:07:03,173 Speaker 4: possibly go rather than perhaps in the Indian direction they 102 00:07:03,253 --> 00:07:07,733 Speaker 4: might bring it in a different sort of place, and 103 00:07:07,773 --> 00:07:10,773 Speaker 4: the way they're presenting it seems to be this is 104 00:07:10,813 --> 00:07:13,173 Speaker 4: a very good place because we're going to be helping. 105 00:07:13,333 --> 00:07:17,533 Speaker 4: We're not going to be engaged, you know in times 106 00:07:18,053 --> 00:07:20,653 Speaker 4: where we're pushing other things aside. Well, I don't think 107 00:07:20,693 --> 00:07:24,653 Speaker 4: that's going to happen. But that's what they're saying. But 108 00:07:24,733 --> 00:07:28,733 Speaker 4: it's but linking it to the funding of cricket. You 109 00:07:29,013 --> 00:07:34,573 Speaker 4: just wonder whether they're trying to pull things away from 110 00:07:34,613 --> 00:07:37,813 Speaker 4: the Indian direction. I just wondered that in the back 111 00:07:37,853 --> 00:07:42,733 Speaker 4: of my mind when I saw that if that's what 112 00:07:42,853 --> 00:07:48,493 Speaker 4: they're trying to sort of influence, rather than pushing more 113 00:07:48,653 --> 00:07:51,773 Speaker 4: that way where we all know it is, to pull 114 00:07:51,813 --> 00:07:56,373 Speaker 4: it somewhere else. And maybe that's what the Australian players 115 00:07:56,413 --> 00:07:59,133 Speaker 4: and the and the ACR trying to do. I don't know. 116 00:08:00,013 --> 00:08:02,653 Speaker 3: One of those trying to generate it as a fellow 117 00:08:02,693 --> 00:08:05,333 Speaker 3: called Neil Maxwell of course, who well he was here 118 00:08:05,573 --> 00:08:10,733 Speaker 3: Cricket Association. He worked for New Zealand many years ago. 119 00:08:11,133 --> 00:08:15,013 Speaker 3: He's the manager of Pat Cummins, of all people. And 120 00:08:15,053 --> 00:08:19,213 Speaker 3: the interesting thing we see is that they've also been 121 00:08:19,253 --> 00:08:23,933 Speaker 3: in discussion with the Chairman of the World Cricketers Association 122 00:08:24,093 --> 00:08:26,413 Speaker 3: or whether it's called. And his name is Heath Mills, 123 00:08:26,533 --> 00:08:29,093 Speaker 3: so he's obviously known about it for quite some time. 124 00:08:29,173 --> 00:08:32,613 Speaker 3: Heath Mills of the New Zealand Cricket Players Association. It's 125 00:08:32,613 --> 00:08:34,773 Speaker 3: got legs most it's got legs. 126 00:08:35,253 --> 00:08:38,853 Speaker 2: The only thing that I'll say is the other thing 127 00:08:38,893 --> 00:08:45,573 Speaker 2: I'll say is that just perhaps some form of competing offer. 128 00:08:46,653 --> 00:08:48,733 Speaker 2: And I noticed that they're looking at the sweet spot 129 00:08:49,013 --> 00:08:57,213 Speaker 2: potentially for those cricket associations outside of the top three 130 00:08:57,293 --> 00:09:03,493 Speaker 2: being austral At, England and India. Yeah, cash poor, some 131 00:09:03,573 --> 00:09:06,453 Speaker 2: of the messages are trying to appeal to them. So 132 00:09:08,533 --> 00:09:14,853 Speaker 2: funny way, perhaps the likes of West Indies and those 133 00:09:15,733 --> 00:09:19,093 Speaker 2: less well off New Zealand included there could be a 134 00:09:19,093 --> 00:09:22,573 Speaker 2: beneficiary of all this money dropping out of their pockets 135 00:09:23,093 --> 00:09:26,693 Speaker 2: for the game. I'm not sure that I particularly like 136 00:09:26,773 --> 00:09:30,333 Speaker 2: the idea, but it'll be interesting. This, this sort of 137 00:09:30,653 --> 00:09:34,213 Speaker 2: a little bit of a potential power grab for the 138 00:09:34,253 --> 00:09:41,493 Speaker 2: sport may have its benefits to those other cricketing countries perhaps. 139 00:09:41,213 --> 00:09:41,973 Speaker 3: Who knows. 140 00:09:42,533 --> 00:09:45,773 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, they're trying. They're appealing to that, aren't they. 141 00:09:45,853 --> 00:09:48,013 Speaker 4: That's that all of us when we read that, And 142 00:09:48,053 --> 00:09:50,933 Speaker 4: I think if anyone reads that, you think, ah, that's 143 00:09:51,013 --> 00:09:53,733 Speaker 4: really good. We like the sound of that. We'll just 144 00:09:53,813 --> 00:09:57,013 Speaker 4: have to wait and see if it happens, you know. 145 00:09:57,973 --> 00:10:00,333 Speaker 4: The other thought, the last thought I had was very 146 00:10:00,413 --> 00:10:05,093 Speaker 4: quickly save Sydney as one of the eight teams. As 147 00:10:05,733 --> 00:10:10,173 Speaker 4: they're putting it around cities. They at the stage, I mean, 148 00:10:10,253 --> 00:10:13,613 Speaker 4: are all the best Australian players go to be whipped 149 00:10:13,653 --> 00:10:17,453 Speaker 4: into the Sydney team. Is the Auckland side going to 150 00:10:17,493 --> 00:10:19,893 Speaker 4: have all the best New Zealand sides? Is the London 151 00:10:19,973 --> 00:10:23,093 Speaker 4: team going to have all the best English sides? Will 152 00:10:23,133 --> 00:10:28,013 Speaker 4: that in the end replace International T twenty cricket is 153 00:10:28,413 --> 00:10:31,213 Speaker 4: a sort of a thought that bubbles to the surface 154 00:10:31,253 --> 00:10:32,213 Speaker 4: of my mind too. 155 00:10:32,733 --> 00:10:37,213 Speaker 3: Well, there's benefits of that, and that would be the 156 00:10:37,333 --> 00:10:39,373 Speaker 3: case if it's going to be city. You just can't 157 00:10:39,413 --> 00:10:42,013 Speaker 3: pick a Wellington team. You've got to pick the best 158 00:10:42,373 --> 00:10:44,333 Speaker 3: of New Zealand. If it's going to be that's right 159 00:10:44,973 --> 00:10:47,653 Speaker 3: team per country. And it'll be interesting to see what 160 00:10:47,693 --> 00:10:50,173 Speaker 3: the plans are because it hasn't even been put forward 161 00:10:50,333 --> 00:10:53,413 Speaker 3: to the ICC yet. But it was interesting just to 162 00:10:53,573 --> 00:10:56,053 Speaker 3: read this article and it was written by a philler 163 00:10:56,173 --> 00:11:01,293 Speaker 3: called Dan Bretti. Is probably the prominent cricket journalist or 164 00:11:01,333 --> 00:11:04,853 Speaker 3: one of them in Australia, and he will have much 165 00:11:04,893 --> 00:11:07,253 Speaker 3: of the information in his hands. So we will watch 166 00:11:07,253 --> 00:11:08,733 Speaker 3: this for a lot of interest in it. I will 167 00:11:08,733 --> 00:11:09,853 Speaker 3: come up over the. 168 00:11:11,173 --> 00:11:16,773 Speaker 2: Was this morning that the head of English cricket, I 169 00:11:16,813 --> 00:11:20,053 Speaker 2: forget the guy's name this morning said that they wouldn't 170 00:11:20,093 --> 00:11:22,653 Speaker 2: have an interest. But the other great thing about the 171 00:11:22,653 --> 00:11:25,053 Speaker 2: Saudi cricket that it would be a great for women's cricket 172 00:11:25,093 --> 00:11:27,333 Speaker 2: as well. Of course probably not. 173 00:11:30,653 --> 00:11:35,373 Speaker 3: Especially the Afghanistan Afghanistan woman. Perhaps, Yes, they can't seem 174 00:11:35,373 --> 00:11:36,653 Speaker 3: to get it. They can only get a game on 175 00:11:36,693 --> 00:11:39,533 Speaker 3: Australia on a regular base. We'll watch with interest and 176 00:11:39,653 --> 00:11:43,293 Speaker 3: keep you up to date as those things developed. 177 00:11:43,373 --> 00:11:47,333 Speaker 1: Brian Waddell, Jeremy Cooney on the front foot. 178 00:11:47,253 --> 00:11:51,293 Speaker 3: Sophie Divines back in the New Zealand side, the White Ferns. 179 00:11:51,893 --> 00:11:53,373 Speaker 5: Yeah, look, probably it's got to a point where I 180 00:11:53,413 --> 00:11:55,933 Speaker 5: needed to step away for a little bit. Obviously the 181 00:11:55,973 --> 00:11:58,733 Speaker 5: last twelve eighteen months have been massive for me personally, 182 00:11:58,773 --> 00:12:00,493 Speaker 5: but also the White Fans group, the amount of cricket 183 00:12:00,533 --> 00:12:02,893 Speaker 5: that we've played, obviously winning the World Cup and things 184 00:12:02,893 --> 00:12:04,893 Speaker 5: like that, and it probably hit me a little bit 185 00:12:04,893 --> 00:12:07,173 Speaker 5: harder than I realized and for me, with the support 186 00:12:07,213 --> 00:12:10,133 Speaker 5: of New Zealand Cricket, you know, family fans, I've been 187 00:12:10,133 --> 00:12:11,813 Speaker 5: really fortunate to be able to have that time away. 188 00:12:11,853 --> 00:12:14,613 Speaker 5: I think something that I'm you know, really big on 189 00:12:14,693 --> 00:12:16,693 Speaker 5: is that mental health and making sure that you do 190 00:12:16,773 --> 00:12:19,613 Speaker 5: take the time. So yeah, look, just really thankful for 191 00:12:19,653 --> 00:12:21,493 Speaker 5: the support that I've received, not only from but from 192 00:12:21,533 --> 00:12:24,613 Speaker 5: people as well well wishes. It's been really nice. So yeah, 193 00:12:24,653 --> 00:12:26,453 Speaker 5: to be able to go away spend some time has 194 00:12:26,453 --> 00:12:28,813 Speaker 5: been good. Oh look, and this year I've certainly switched 195 00:12:28,813 --> 00:12:31,533 Speaker 5: off from everything. I think probably refer it more to hibernation, 196 00:12:31,653 --> 00:12:33,933 Speaker 5: sort of been into hiding a little bit, but certainly 197 00:12:33,973 --> 00:12:36,053 Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks have been watching tuning in 198 00:12:36,133 --> 00:12:38,293 Speaker 5: and keeping tabs on them. Have been super impressed with 199 00:12:38,373 --> 00:12:40,893 Speaker 5: obviously a lot of new faces coming into the group 200 00:12:40,893 --> 00:12:43,213 Speaker 5: and their ability to stand up has been really exciting. 201 00:12:43,293 --> 00:12:45,253 Speaker 5: So it's been awesome. It's been awesome to watch the 202 00:12:45,293 --> 00:12:48,453 Speaker 5: group from afar whatever happens. I've always been a back 203 00:12:48,533 --> 00:12:50,013 Speaker 5: of white fans, but it's cool to be back in 204 00:12:50,013 --> 00:12:52,373 Speaker 5: the environment and something that you know, I absolutely love doing. 205 00:12:52,453 --> 00:12:56,053 Speaker 3: So to's ameliaccur goodness welcome back. She just want a 206 00:12:56,093 --> 00:13:02,133 Speaker 3: trophy in the Women's League IPL in India. Congratulations to 207 00:13:02,293 --> 00:13:06,093 Speaker 3: her for that. They drawn a series with Sri Lanka 208 00:13:06,133 --> 00:13:12,973 Speaker 3: without probably nearly a dozen players who are experienced and 209 00:13:13,173 --> 00:13:18,933 Speaker 3: have been injured. They've picked aside to play Australia Baits, Carson, Devine, 210 00:13:19,613 --> 00:13:29,093 Speaker 3: Green Halliday, Engles, James Jonas, two Kerza, Georgia Plimmer and 211 00:13:29,173 --> 00:13:33,493 Speaker 3: Lea to Whoho. Tough on some of those young players. 212 00:13:33,533 --> 00:13:37,053 Speaker 3: He came into the Sri Lankan series, Jerry, because I 213 00:13:37,133 --> 00:13:41,613 Speaker 3: thought that there were good signs through Brie Illing and 214 00:13:41,973 --> 00:13:45,493 Speaker 3: also Emma McLeod. Perhaps not up to it yet, but 215 00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:48,973 Speaker 3: is there an indication this depth there in the women's game. 216 00:13:49,853 --> 00:13:52,813 Speaker 4: Well, it's starting to show. Just a new green shoots, 217 00:13:53,053 --> 00:13:56,613 Speaker 4: isn't it, Brian? And that was the exciting thing, I'm 218 00:13:56,613 --> 00:13:58,773 Speaker 4: sure for a lot of people as they watched those 219 00:13:58,813 --> 00:14:02,853 Speaker 4: two games. Very similar matches, similar totals were first in 220 00:14:02,853 --> 00:14:07,533 Speaker 4: his collapse and some easy chases. But yeah, I agree, 221 00:14:07,653 --> 00:14:11,853 Speaker 4: I think Brieling for a start, left arm swings it 222 00:14:11,893 --> 00:14:13,813 Speaker 4: a little bit, got a really good wicket in the 223 00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:17,813 Speaker 4: second match. Did she bowling one of the openers? And 224 00:14:18,293 --> 00:14:20,813 Speaker 4: that's you like to see that she likes to bowl 225 00:14:20,853 --> 00:14:23,773 Speaker 4: short too and get a bit more attacking. If she 226 00:14:23,773 --> 00:14:27,133 Speaker 4: can add to her pace a little bit, great, But 227 00:14:27,253 --> 00:14:30,413 Speaker 4: she's left arm and that's something we haven't seen really 228 00:14:30,533 --> 00:14:33,213 Speaker 4: that much. I like the look of some of the 229 00:14:33,293 --> 00:14:37,093 Speaker 4: youth coming through. I like Engles. Okay, she didn't get 230 00:14:37,093 --> 00:14:41,813 Speaker 4: many runs, but she looks aggressive and competitive behind the stumps, 231 00:14:42,893 --> 00:14:44,973 Speaker 4: and I just think with the bat too, and you 232 00:14:45,013 --> 00:14:48,213 Speaker 4: can just see she's in the game and she's becoming 233 00:14:48,293 --> 00:14:50,973 Speaker 4: quite a focal point in the team. I thought, once 234 00:14:51,013 --> 00:14:52,693 Speaker 4: the team are in the field, so that was good. 235 00:14:53,013 --> 00:14:57,253 Speaker 4: I think Plimmer, even though we've known about her, I 236 00:14:57,373 --> 00:15:00,453 Speaker 4: thought there was improvement and development. Even though the runs 237 00:15:00,453 --> 00:15:04,693 Speaker 4: weren't there's her fielding was good. She's out in important position, 238 00:15:04,813 --> 00:15:10,053 Speaker 4: she was getting run outs. I think we're seeing as 239 00:15:10,053 --> 00:15:13,733 Speaker 4: someone growing in confidence as far as she is concerned. 240 00:15:14,493 --> 00:15:17,693 Speaker 4: Emma McLeod got a forty and eleven or something like that. 241 00:15:18,293 --> 00:15:22,453 Speaker 4: Forty had to run a ball and so I think 242 00:15:22,453 --> 00:15:25,413 Speaker 4: a Devon show was there as well. Carsons. They're quite young. 243 00:15:25,613 --> 00:15:28,893 Speaker 4: So there are some new names. Is he sharp? 244 00:15:29,933 --> 00:15:30,173 Speaker 3: You know? 245 00:15:30,293 --> 00:15:33,973 Speaker 4: So these are names we haven't heard of much. Very 246 00:15:34,013 --> 00:15:37,173 Speaker 4: pleasing to see them being used. May not be the 247 00:15:37,213 --> 00:15:41,093 Speaker 4: full finished article yet, but they're there and they will 248 00:15:41,133 --> 00:15:42,173 Speaker 4: get some confidence. 249 00:15:43,133 --> 00:15:45,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, we've talked about this women's side most for a 250 00:15:45,773 --> 00:15:49,373 Speaker 3: period of time and they really haven't fronted up consistently. 251 00:15:49,853 --> 00:15:52,133 Speaker 3: What we need to see from them is consistency. But 252 00:15:52,213 --> 00:15:54,173 Speaker 3: what I like about the side they picked when they 253 00:15:54,173 --> 00:15:59,053 Speaker 3: had injury problems was they selected players on their domestic form, 254 00:15:59,213 --> 00:16:04,013 Speaker 3: so they had shone some skills domestically and were rewarded 255 00:16:04,053 --> 00:16:07,973 Speaker 3: for it and didn't appear to out of place against 256 00:16:07,973 --> 00:16:10,293 Speaker 3: the stro Concide No. 257 00:16:11,373 --> 00:16:18,533 Speaker 2: And it contrasts significantly with the men's lineups, where we're 258 00:16:18,533 --> 00:16:20,893 Speaker 2: reverted back to those who don't want to take contracts. 259 00:16:21,533 --> 00:16:23,413 Speaker 2: And I would have thought it was a great opportunity 260 00:16:24,213 --> 00:16:28,133 Speaker 2: to introduce very fine young players who seemed to emerging 261 00:16:28,173 --> 00:16:32,773 Speaker 2: in this format. And I recall the final CD one 262 00:16:32,893 --> 00:16:36,333 Speaker 2: ut with a couple of really good veterans Cleaver and Bruce, 263 00:16:36,733 --> 00:16:39,573 Speaker 2: but some young players who look really, really good and 264 00:16:39,613 --> 00:16:42,973 Speaker 2: it was quite a revelation. I'd love to have seen 265 00:16:43,013 --> 00:16:47,093 Speaker 2: a few of them introduced as they have done in 266 00:16:47,133 --> 00:16:49,933 Speaker 2: the women's and the women's matches. That's what we need 267 00:16:50,013 --> 00:16:52,573 Speaker 2: to be seeing. And I frankly if guys want to 268 00:16:52,613 --> 00:16:55,173 Speaker 2: go and ply their trade. All proud of them. Go 269 00:16:55,253 --> 00:16:57,453 Speaker 2: and do it, but don't expect to get a league 270 00:16:57,493 --> 00:17:00,613 Speaker 2: back up. I want to see these younger players, and 271 00:17:00,613 --> 00:17:03,333 Speaker 2: there seems to be a real proliferation of them in 272 00:17:03,373 --> 00:17:06,573 Speaker 2: the game. It looks pretty healthy. I'd like to see 273 00:17:06,573 --> 00:17:09,213 Speaker 2: that more so, you know, I'm diverted off bit, but 274 00:17:09,333 --> 00:17:13,373 Speaker 2: I think we've missed a tricky for the men's men's side, 275 00:17:13,413 --> 00:17:13,973 Speaker 2: we really have. 276 00:17:14,773 --> 00:17:16,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, you make a good point there in terms of 277 00:17:17,053 --> 00:17:19,933 Speaker 3: comparing against the women's game, because they got there because 278 00:17:20,453 --> 00:17:24,093 Speaker 3: of their domestic form. But do I smell that you 279 00:17:24,133 --> 00:17:28,493 Speaker 3: don't like the idea of seifert Alan and Nisham playing 280 00:17:28,533 --> 00:17:30,813 Speaker 3: in this series. We should go with the players who've 281 00:17:30,893 --> 00:17:31,733 Speaker 3: done the job at home. 282 00:17:32,533 --> 00:17:35,693 Speaker 2: I absolutely, I think, particularly when I look at the 283 00:17:35,733 --> 00:17:38,853 Speaker 2: Pakistan side who seem to have left you know, two 284 00:17:38,933 --> 00:17:40,813 Speaker 2: or three well known players that we you know, know 285 00:17:40,893 --> 00:17:43,093 Speaker 2: the normally these player we don't even know who they are. 286 00:17:43,493 --> 00:17:46,093 Speaker 2: So that they have got an experimental side and that 287 00:17:47,213 --> 00:17:51,413 Speaker 2: they're having a look. This was a great opportunity for frankly, 288 00:17:51,493 --> 00:17:54,373 Speaker 2: which is doesn't have a lot of meaning these matches 289 00:17:54,933 --> 00:17:58,613 Speaker 2: in the context of anything. Great opportunity for to blood 290 00:17:58,653 --> 00:18:02,213 Speaker 2: some of our younger players. I just think we've we've 291 00:18:02,253 --> 00:18:05,093 Speaker 2: missed an opportunity here to get more more into them. 292 00:18:05,453 --> 00:18:08,853 Speaker 2: I see that Hay is being picked, but I'd love 293 00:18:08,893 --> 00:18:12,693 Speaker 2: to see some other other other younger players or guys 294 00:18:12,693 --> 00:18:16,613 Speaker 2: have going form in domestic cricket get a chance. I 295 00:18:16,733 --> 00:18:17,173 Speaker 2: really would. 296 00:18:17,853 --> 00:18:22,133 Speaker 4: Can't disagree Jerry, now, I can't. I can't disagree with that. Really. 297 00:18:22,213 --> 00:18:25,213 Speaker 4: Sears was there, wasn't he He came back as well, still 298 00:18:25,293 --> 00:18:29,173 Speaker 4: quite a youngster. But and then there's there's Sodi. Of 299 00:18:29,253 --> 00:18:31,453 Speaker 4: course I think he is contracted, isn't he? 300 00:18:32,693 --> 00:18:32,933 Speaker 2: Yes? 301 00:18:33,293 --> 00:18:37,413 Speaker 4: And so and Duffy of course is the same. He's 302 00:18:37,773 --> 00:18:42,253 Speaker 4: as still quite a developing kind of player, still picking 303 00:18:42,293 --> 00:18:46,613 Speaker 4: up wickets throughout. But I take Moose's point about the 304 00:18:46,933 --> 00:18:51,173 Speaker 4: two openers, and they've tended to dominate things, haven't they 305 00:18:51,253 --> 00:18:58,093 Speaker 4: against a weaker Pakistan side. Pakistan will get better, They're 306 00:18:58,133 --> 00:19:01,933 Speaker 4: not silly, and they learned from their first game when 307 00:19:01,973 --> 00:19:05,533 Speaker 4: they only scored ninety to that second match, and the 308 00:19:05,653 --> 00:19:08,173 Speaker 4: need and a rather eccentric sort of shape ground and 309 00:19:08,173 --> 00:19:12,453 Speaker 4: one side longer than the other, and short straight pits 310 00:19:12,493 --> 00:19:15,413 Speaker 4: and so on, so that encourages shorter pits and bowling. 311 00:19:16,213 --> 00:19:18,853 Speaker 4: But I thought they improved and as they continue to 312 00:19:18,893 --> 00:19:22,573 Speaker 4: do it at that rate that they will get a 313 00:19:22,613 --> 00:19:25,133 Speaker 4: lot out of the series, and perhaps more than some 314 00:19:25,173 --> 00:19:28,733 Speaker 4: of the New Zealanders. Who knows. We'll wait and wait 315 00:19:28,773 --> 00:19:29,413 Speaker 4: and see. 316 00:19:30,453 --> 00:19:32,933 Speaker 3: I think that point is an interesting one because there's 317 00:19:32,933 --> 00:19:34,613 Speaker 3: not much we can take out of the series as 318 00:19:34,653 --> 00:19:37,453 Speaker 3: far so far as that we've had two games. New 319 00:19:37,533 --> 00:19:40,573 Speaker 3: Zealand have proven that even on the second side, we 320 00:19:40,613 --> 00:19:44,493 Speaker 3: can beat the Pakistan third side. But that doesn't really 321 00:19:44,573 --> 00:19:48,213 Speaker 3: matter as such. Our players are basically doing the job 322 00:19:48,293 --> 00:19:52,293 Speaker 3: that we that we want them to do, and you 323 00:19:52,373 --> 00:19:53,613 Speaker 3: make a fair point out of that one. 324 00:19:53,613 --> 00:19:57,853 Speaker 2: Most just just just back to the women. I really 325 00:19:57,893 --> 00:20:02,213 Speaker 2: am looking forward to seeing this Australian team here again, 326 00:20:03,253 --> 00:20:07,213 Speaker 2: and in particular one playoff. So I'm diverting back again 327 00:20:07,253 --> 00:20:11,653 Speaker 2: and dropping an but the one particular play is and 328 00:20:11,693 --> 00:20:14,893 Speaker 2: she's an emerging probably one of the probably best players 329 00:20:14,893 --> 00:20:21,573 Speaker 2: in the world, Annabelle Sutherland. Find better decent bowler. I 330 00:20:23,533 --> 00:20:25,733 Speaker 2: think we're going to get rolled over, but I'm just 331 00:20:25,733 --> 00:20:29,373 Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing seeing them here once again on 332 00:20:29,413 --> 00:20:32,733 Speaker 2: our shores just quickly. I just wouldn't want to let 333 00:20:32,733 --> 00:20:34,093 Speaker 2: that one go for a moment. 334 00:20:34,773 --> 00:20:38,773 Speaker 3: Interesting and we will see them in the three T 335 00:20:38,773 --> 00:20:43,333 Speaker 3: twenties playing double headers with the men against Pakistan. So 336 00:20:43,413 --> 00:20:48,253 Speaker 3: that's good encouraging stuff. Just a couple of other things 337 00:20:48,293 --> 00:20:51,413 Speaker 3: to talk about. I forget the plankt Hield is getting 338 00:20:51,453 --> 00:20:54,013 Speaker 3: to an interesting stage. And I know you two will 339 00:20:54,053 --> 00:20:57,613 Speaker 3: be very delighted with the fact that the Firebirds are 340 00:20:57,653 --> 00:21:00,133 Speaker 3: back on top. And it's not the fact that they're 341 00:21:00,173 --> 00:21:02,853 Speaker 3: back on top, but it's the way they got back 342 00:21:02,893 --> 00:21:04,933 Speaker 3: on top. I don't know if you sort of kept 343 00:21:05,173 --> 00:21:09,253 Speaker 3: close contact with the game that they play against Canterbury, 344 00:21:09,253 --> 00:21:12,293 Speaker 3: but to me it was a remarkable game of cricket. 345 00:21:12,653 --> 00:21:17,493 Speaker 3: Three fifty sixty eight in response two twenty five hundred 346 00:21:17,533 --> 00:21:21,013 Speaker 3: to get and Canterbury got four hundred and eighty three 347 00:21:21,133 --> 00:21:23,493 Speaker 3: Nickels scoring one hundred and seventy hundred and eighty or 348 00:21:23,533 --> 00:21:25,973 Speaker 3: something like that. To me, that was a remarkable game 349 00:21:25,973 --> 00:21:26,373 Speaker 3: of cricket. 350 00:21:26,413 --> 00:21:29,693 Speaker 4: Jerry certainly was well. Moose was the one who actually 351 00:21:30,093 --> 00:21:32,133 Speaker 4: highlighted it to me when they were just having a 352 00:21:32,133 --> 00:21:35,133 Speaker 4: bit of a chat, and so Moose, you might you 353 00:21:35,253 --> 00:21:39,053 Speaker 4: might sort of tell us a little bit more about that, obviously, 354 00:21:40,573 --> 00:21:44,653 Speaker 4: I think was it was it young husband got a 355 00:21:44,653 --> 00:21:48,573 Speaker 4: few wickets the leg spinner for Wellington and the second innings. 356 00:21:49,093 --> 00:21:52,773 Speaker 2: I mean, what I loved about it was is, you know, 357 00:21:53,373 --> 00:21:56,493 Speaker 2: I guess traditionalist, old school and all that sort of stuff. 358 00:21:57,333 --> 00:22:00,933 Speaker 2: And of course, frankly br I call them the Wellington 359 00:22:00,973 --> 00:22:06,693 Speaker 2: cricket team as opposed to whatever I suppose. Sorry, but 360 00:22:07,653 --> 00:22:12,933 Speaker 2: what I really liked four day game, Canterbury got got 361 00:22:13,253 --> 00:22:16,653 Speaker 2: rolled out. It's I gather the ball was hooping around 362 00:22:16,693 --> 00:22:20,333 Speaker 2: a bit. Who knew the swinging ball could cause troubles 363 00:22:20,733 --> 00:22:25,533 Speaker 2: the chaps if you get an opportunity YouTube he bowls 364 00:22:25,613 --> 00:22:28,973 Speaker 2: mcconchie with a with a with a big end swinger 365 00:22:29,413 --> 00:22:33,173 Speaker 2: and yeah, nothing that you didn't see from from from 366 00:22:33,173 --> 00:22:35,653 Speaker 2: our mat Larnce Kens back in the day. But that 367 00:22:35,853 --> 00:22:39,573 Speaker 2: was an absolute ripper. And I just so they bowled 368 00:22:39,693 --> 00:22:44,333 Speaker 2: for six sixty sixty sixty eight, set him five hundred 369 00:22:44,373 --> 00:22:47,733 Speaker 2: plus runs, and I'm listening on the radio and I'm 370 00:22:47,773 --> 00:22:50,893 Speaker 2: hearing they've got one hundred and eighteen to get with 371 00:22:51,053 --> 00:22:54,453 Speaker 2: five wickets in hand. But what was really also good 372 00:22:55,133 --> 00:22:58,173 Speaker 2: is you're looking at and we and we have problems 373 00:22:58,213 --> 00:23:00,653 Speaker 2: at the moment because a lot of our our crickets 374 00:23:00,693 --> 00:23:03,253 Speaker 2: probably are not If you're like for the longer version 375 00:23:03,293 --> 00:23:07,493 Speaker 2: of the game match fit but Van Bakebold thirty plus 376 00:23:07,493 --> 00:23:11,173 Speaker 2: overs young has in Bold forty one overs old. Just 377 00:23:11,253 --> 00:23:13,933 Speaker 2: good old school cricket, so Monny and yeah they've got 378 00:23:13,933 --> 00:23:16,293 Speaker 2: the quicks going. You've got a leak spinner at the 379 00:23:16,373 --> 00:23:18,973 Speaker 2: other end going. Now this is this is just good 380 00:23:19,013 --> 00:23:24,493 Speaker 2: stuff and I wish it got more our publicity. Pretty 381 00:23:24,493 --> 00:23:30,213 Speaker 2: good game Northern Districts against Auckland as well. The interesting 382 00:23:30,293 --> 00:23:34,413 Speaker 2: game coming up as Wellington are starting on Friday. I 383 00:23:34,413 --> 00:23:38,653 Speaker 2: think it is probably at the basin against Northern Districts. 384 00:23:38,813 --> 00:23:40,893 Speaker 2: I think they go through into the final being one 385 00:23:40,933 --> 00:23:45,613 Speaker 2: and two, but very good cricket and guys getting runs. 386 00:23:45,693 --> 00:23:48,173 Speaker 2: There was a chap called Cooper, which I assume is 387 00:23:48,653 --> 00:23:53,933 Speaker 2: connected to Barry Cooper, right, yes, our son, there you go. 388 00:23:55,213 --> 00:23:59,253 Speaker 2: So that's let's lovely to here and and he got 389 00:23:59,253 --> 00:24:01,853 Speaker 2: one hundred and forty odd the other day. You know, 390 00:24:01,933 --> 00:24:04,413 Speaker 2: the guys getting big scores and learning that those are 391 00:24:04,453 --> 00:24:07,093 Speaker 2: the things which I just think are great for the 392 00:24:07,533 --> 00:24:13,573 Speaker 2: for our is developing. And when I see South Australia 393 00:24:13,853 --> 00:24:18,973 Speaker 2: playing Queensland, it's rather lamentable that we don't get an 394 00:24:19,013 --> 00:24:22,453 Speaker 2: opportunity to see m D playing Wellington. 395 00:24:23,373 --> 00:24:25,893 Speaker 3: That was The point I wanted to make out of 396 00:24:25,933 --> 00:24:29,013 Speaker 3: all of this was we get live free. Will you 397 00:24:29,013 --> 00:24:31,533 Speaker 3: get it on Sky? You get Australia domestic cricket that 398 00:24:31,573 --> 00:24:34,293 Speaker 3: you can watch. You can't even hear domestic cricket in 399 00:24:34,293 --> 00:24:36,933 Speaker 3: New Zealand on the radio. What is New Zealand Cricket 400 00:24:37,013 --> 00:24:40,053 Speaker 3: doing about promoting the game. These are great games of cricket. 401 00:24:40,373 --> 00:24:42,253 Speaker 3: We talk about that school board and there have been 402 00:24:42,373 --> 00:24:45,053 Speaker 3: others in the plunket shield, yet we don't get to 403 00:24:45,093 --> 00:24:47,653 Speaker 3: see or hear about them, and that's something that has 404 00:24:47,653 --> 00:24:49,933 Speaker 3: got to be fixed. We're coming to an end of 405 00:24:50,013 --> 00:24:55,333 Speaker 3: the day. We've got a heap of emails. 406 00:24:55,533 --> 00:24:59,533 Speaker 4: Once can I mention?

They were playing Canterbury Country for the Hawk Cup. 414 00:25:28,333 --> 00:25:32,933 Speaker 4: In Canterbury Country were struggling a bit and they but 415 00:25:33,013 --> 00:25:36,533 Speaker 4: they had a late partnership as well between Or Deare 416 00:25:36,573 --> 00:25:40,693 Speaker 4: who was it Roundnat Kapoua batting at number ten and 417 00:25:40,853 --> 00:25:44,813 Speaker 4: will Williams's who plays for Lancashire.

They got 421 00:25:57,853 --> 00:26:00,613 Speaker 4: to three hundred and eleven and then there was tea. 422 00:26:01,013 --> 00:26:03,933 Speaker 4: They came out after tea and they lost the last 423 00:26:03,933 --> 00:26:07,733 Speaker 4: two wickets so they lost the game by five runs. 424 00:26:08,373 --> 00:26:10,853 Speaker 4: A damn good match over three days as well in 425 00:26:10,893 --> 00:26:12,333 Speaker 4: the Hawke Cup challenge too. 426 00:26:15,133 --> 00:26:21,373 Speaker 2: Hawk Cup cricket was the most tough upbringing you could 427 00:26:21,373 --> 00:26:25,093 Speaker 2: ever have. When you went there were there were long memories, 428 00:26:25,573 --> 00:26:26,493 Speaker 2: there were grudges. 429 00:26:27,013 --> 00:26:29,813 Speaker 4: Yeah, people never get one innings. 430 00:26:30,373 --> 00:26:34,413 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and you know you made sure you stayed 431 00:26:34,413 --> 00:26:39,693 Speaker 2: in your crease.
