1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: We're going to Sport with Adam Coopan. Now the black

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Caps have lost to England at him. Yeah, pretty disappointing,

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Ryan Morning. Yeah, not a great set of start to this,

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, much anticipated series. And I think what's probably

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: most frustrating from a New Zealand perspective on this one

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: is that the hosts there in christ Church since Thursday

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: certainly had their chances and had their opportunities to capitalize

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: on a pretty evenly poised tests, you know, which it

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: was for at least the first couple of days. And

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: I think the real takeout from that was eight dropped

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: catches in that first innings of England they managed to

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: get four hundred and ninety nine, which you know, compared

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: to New Zealand's three hundred and forty eight first innings.

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: That's where the Test was won. And when there's eight

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: dropped catches in the innings, it's more than just coincidence,

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: it's more than just chance. So yeah, pretty disappointing. This

17
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: black Caps team at one point in the last of

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: five six years, have been you know that the world

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: leaders in fielding. It was one of those aspects of

20
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: New Zealand's game that made them, you know, sit right

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: at the top of the world cricket standings and be competitive,

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: so pretty worrying to just to see how many catches

23
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: were dropped by the black Caps there, and you know

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: England just just were able from that moment to guide through,

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: didn't have to take too many risks and wrap up

26
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: a very comprehensive eight wicket win over New Zealand. So

27
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: two tests to go, so still winnable for New Zealand.

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: Starts next test, starts Wellington on Friday. All right, what's

29
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: happening with the one in Qatar? Apparently Liam Lawson's been

30
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: that we was up and then he was down and

31
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: then was up again. Has it looking Yeah, he's sort

32
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: of sort of holding that sort of seventeenth spot where

33
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: he started on the grid. Been watching actually very closely

34
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: what happened at the starting grid obviously, but a controversy

35
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: yesterday and qualifying with Max fist up and posting the

36
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: fastest time but then getting you know, a backup place

37
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: behind George Russell for a bit of a confrontation they

38
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: had there, but maxwistupp and pretty much took the lead

39
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: from the second turn of the race very early on,

40
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: took him about seven or eight seconds to get back

41
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: in front. Looks like Lando Norris actually was going to

42
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: have the lead from thirty. He momentarily got there, but

43
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: Max fist up and showing his class early. But you're right,

44
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: all eyes on Liam Lawson here. You'd hope he will

45
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: be able to make up some places and get a

46
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: slightly bitter score with just two races to go this season.

47
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: Certainly would. Adam, thank you very much for your time
