Speaker 3: Hello, we're on the front foot again. Three tests in India.

16
00:00:50,093 --> 00:00:53,853
Speaker 3: We haven't won there since nineteen eighty eight on Katie

17
00:00:54,013 --> 00:00:56,653
Speaker 3: Yep thirty six years ago. I think we've only ever

18
00:00:56,733 --> 00:01:01,853
Speaker 3: won there twice NK Poor and nineteen sixty nine. Bangalore

19
00:01:02,013 --> 00:01:04,933
Speaker 3: is first up. We paid tribute to another black bet

20
00:01:04,973 --> 00:01:08,173
Speaker 3: who passed away last week and two wins for the

21
00:01:08,613 --> 00:01:12,093
Speaker 3: pos as they I a semi final based at the

22
00:01:12,133 --> 00:01:17,173
Speaker 3: World T twenty and Garth Galloway and Jeremy Coney with

23
00:01:17,293 --> 00:01:21,093

24
00:01:21,093 --> 00:01:24,373
Speaker 3: favorite ground at Jeremy as bory as it would have

25
00:01:24,413 --> 00:01:28,053
Speaker 3: been watching Pakistan score five fifty six in England eight

26
00:01:28,133 --> 00:01:31,253
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty three. Finally, a game of cricket broke out.

27
00:01:31,733 --> 00:01:34,573
Speaker 3: At least Brooke had a strike rate of ninety eight

28
00:01:34,653 --> 00:01:37,253
Speaker 3: after scoring three hundred and seventeen. But do you know

29
00:01:37,333 --> 00:01:41,893
Speaker 3: what sober wildering they're contemplating playing the second ties on

30
00:01:42,013 --> 00:01:45,293
Speaker 3: the same strip, did you believe it?

31
00:01:44,933 --> 00:01:49,933
Speaker 2: Well, actually, Evan Gray sent me a picture I think

32
00:01:49,973 --> 00:01:53,013
Speaker 2: on Instagram or something. I don't even have Instagram, but

33
00:01:54,133 --> 00:01:58,373
Speaker 2: it showed two old fashioned fans at one at each

34
00:01:58,493 --> 00:02:02,573
Speaker 2: end of the pitch that obviously that obviously watered where

35
00:02:02,613 --> 00:02:07,253
Speaker 2: all the bowler's footmarks were. And they had a couple

36
00:02:07,253 --> 00:02:11,253
Speaker 2: of people peddling wildly to get these fans going around

37
00:02:11,253 --> 00:02:14,053
Speaker 2: to try and dry the pitch. But the Jets it

38
00:02:14,173 --> 00:02:17,213
Speaker 2: was a it's an interesting idea. It's an interesting idea.

39
00:02:17,293 --> 00:02:18,573
Speaker 2: Let's play another game on it.

40
00:02:18,933 --> 00:02:20,933
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, when I read that there were fans out

41
00:02:20,933 --> 00:02:22,253
Speaker 3: in the middle, I thought there were a couple of

42
00:02:22,293 --> 00:02:24,933
Speaker 3: spectators had climbed the fence, but I found out that

43
00:02:25,053 --> 00:02:28,773
Speaker 3: they were actually blowing fans. You wouldn't have seen that,

44
00:02:29,493 --> 00:02:31,133
Speaker 3: gosh that had whipped their hair off the top of

45
00:02:31,133 --> 00:02:32,013
Speaker 3: your head, wouldn't.

46
00:02:31,733 --> 00:02:33,893
Speaker 5: It doesn't take much to whip the hair off the

47
00:02:33,893 --> 00:02:36,493
Speaker 5: top of my head, but I in fact, there isn't

48
00:02:36,493 --> 00:02:39,493
Speaker 5: any hair there. But the thing, yeah, it's if they

49
00:02:39,493 --> 00:02:41,773
Speaker 5: were fans, they wouldn't have been people because of when

50
00:02:41,813 --> 00:02:43,893
Speaker 5: any fans watching the game. Wise, I don't know if

51
00:02:43,933 --> 00:02:47,333
Speaker 5: you tuned in, but the whole thing is covered on YouTube,

52
00:02:47,453 --> 00:02:49,933
Speaker 5: which is quite nice. So you get that here Athurs

53
00:02:49,973 --> 00:02:53,213
Speaker 5: and Hussein and goers back in the team and I

54
00:02:53,293 --> 00:02:53,853
Speaker 5: watched quite a.

55
00:02:53,853 --> 00:02:54,493
Speaker 2: Lot of it.

56
00:02:54,733 --> 00:02:57,573
Speaker 5: But they were saying and that's why this news comes

57
00:02:57,733 --> 00:03:01,413
Speaker 5: as such a surprise, because they during that coverage they

58
00:03:01,493 --> 00:03:05,173
Speaker 5: identified the pitch for the new game and it was

59
00:03:05,453 --> 00:03:07,253
Speaker 5: a couple of pitches away. It had a bit of

60
00:03:07,253 --> 00:03:10,293
Speaker 5: green grass on it. This thing, so it does seem

61
00:03:10,533 --> 00:03:13,053
Speaker 5: very strange. Indeed, I think one of the most lifeless

62
00:03:13,093 --> 00:03:17,933
Speaker 5: pictures I've ever seen in test cricket. Very strange, I suppose.

63
00:03:17,973 --> 00:03:19,413
Speaker 5: I mean, the other thing I thought was intoing. The

64
00:03:19,413 --> 00:03:23,133
Speaker 5: Bamie Army were there in the small number, and I

65
00:03:23,133 --> 00:03:25,733
Speaker 5: don't think I saw a Pakistan fan in the ground.

66
00:03:26,253 --> 00:03:30,413
Speaker 2: Only those ones gath who usually do that sort of

67
00:03:30,773 --> 00:03:35,373
Speaker 2: sipping of the tea, yes, yes, and not knowing quite

68
00:03:35,413 --> 00:03:37,373
Speaker 2: what to do for thirty seconds.

69
00:03:37,853 --> 00:03:40,093
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they may be planted. I'm not sure. If

70
00:03:40,093 --> 00:03:41,733
Speaker 5: they're cricket fans.

71
00:03:42,573 --> 00:03:46,333
Speaker 2: They're looking the wrong way.

72
00:03:46,173 --> 00:03:49,333
Speaker 4: Very very good at drinking tea.

73
00:03:50,013 --> 00:03:51,933
Speaker 3: There'll be something for us to watch and I'll pick

74
00:03:51,973 --> 00:03:53,733
Speaker 3: it up on YouTube if that's where it can be

75
00:03:53,773 --> 00:03:56,213
Speaker 3: picked up. The Black Caps hardly had their feet on

76
00:03:56,253 --> 00:03:58,693
Speaker 3: the ground before they were entering a short warm up

77
00:03:58,733 --> 00:04:02,733
Speaker 3: phase for the three Test series with India. Such as

78
00:04:02,853 --> 00:04:06,773
Speaker 3: International Crickets these days, limited warm up time and for

79
00:04:06,813 --> 00:04:09,733
Speaker 3: Garry Stead, limited time to says the pitch in being

80
00:04:09,773 --> 00:04:13,493
Speaker 3: Aluru for the first Test, but enough time to make

81
00:04:13,613 --> 00:04:15,093
Speaker 3: crucial decisions.

82
00:04:14,693 --> 00:04:17,573
Speaker 6: Going on on past conditions here. I think the decision

83
00:04:17,613 --> 00:04:20,173
Speaker 6: for us to make will be whether we play three

84
00:04:20,213 --> 00:04:24,773
Speaker 6: seemas or just the two. It's interesting when you look

85
00:04:24,813 --> 00:04:28,613
Speaker 6: at the last series that India have just played against Bangladesh,

86
00:04:28,693 --> 00:04:33,013
Speaker 6: albeit not at this ground, that they have played three

87
00:04:33,053 --> 00:04:37,493
Speaker 6: seemas in their own conditions. So I think once, I mean,

88
00:04:37,573 --> 00:04:38,773
Speaker 6: you've been here before as well.

89
00:04:38,813 --> 00:04:39,413
Speaker 7: You know that.

90
00:04:41,333 --> 00:04:43,973
Speaker 6: It's conditions that will take turn at some stage. It's

91
00:04:44,013 --> 00:04:46,853
Speaker 6: just how much support there is I think for the

92
00:04:46,853 --> 00:04:49,053
Speaker 6: Seemas in the early stages of the game.

93
00:04:49,733 --> 00:04:51,733
Speaker 3: Yeah, I suppose you've got a lot of players. You've

94
00:04:51,773 --> 00:04:55,733
Speaker 3: also played the t turny cricket there IPL, but the

95
00:04:56,013 --> 00:04:59,613
Speaker 3: conditions may be just a little bit different from what

96
00:04:59,653 --> 00:05:00,653
Speaker 3: you get in those games.

97
00:05:01,213 --> 00:05:01,453
Speaker 2: Yeah.

98
00:05:01,493 --> 00:05:04,573
Speaker 6: Absolutely, And look, I mean this is a high scoring

99
00:05:05,093 --> 00:05:08,093
Speaker 6: ground when you look at the IPL and it's not

100
00:05:08,133 --> 00:05:10,093
Speaker 6: a it's not a huge ground. And we played here

101
00:05:10,093 --> 00:05:13,013
Speaker 6: twice through the twenty twenty three World Cup as well,

102
00:05:13,333 --> 00:05:16,333
Speaker 6: a very high scoring loss to Pakistan and the Duckworth

103
00:05:16,413 --> 00:05:20,733
Speaker 6: Lewis game where we scored four hundred. So look, we

104
00:05:21,853 --> 00:05:25,813
Speaker 6: have some experience here recently, but just just really looking

105
00:05:25,813 --> 00:05:28,613
Speaker 6: forward to getting getting into training today in the next

106
00:05:28,613 --> 00:05:33,213
Speaker 6: three days before we start this match. It's always exciting

107
00:05:33,213 --> 00:05:36,253
Speaker 6: to come to India. They are a real challenge. They

108
00:05:37,373 --> 00:05:42,413
Speaker 6: have a vast, i think array an experience of cricketers

109
00:05:42,453 --> 00:05:44,453
Speaker 6: now and the IPL has certainly helped to grow that

110
00:05:44,533 --> 00:05:44,853
Speaker 6: for them.

111
00:05:45,133 --> 00:05:47,653
Speaker 3: What areas do you want to see the most improvement

112
00:05:47,733 --> 00:05:48,813
Speaker 3: from the last series.

113
00:05:49,373 --> 00:05:51,933
Speaker 6: Look, I think two things stand out for me. One

114
00:05:52,053 --> 00:05:55,453
Speaker 6: is if we can get partnerships and we start and

115
00:05:55,973 --> 00:05:59,493
Speaker 6: put them under pressure, it's maintaining that for longer. So

116
00:06:00,093 --> 00:06:03,013
Speaker 6: I think in three of the fore innings in Sri

117
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:06,413
Speaker 6: Lanka we actually batted very well in difficult conditions and

118
00:06:06,453 --> 00:06:09,453
Speaker 6: the pitch can change very very quickly over here, So

119
00:06:09,493 --> 00:06:12,853
Speaker 6: it's about recognizing that and when we do get in

120
00:06:13,213 --> 00:06:15,413
Speaker 6: is pushing in for big ones. And with the ball,

121
00:06:15,653 --> 00:06:18,533
Speaker 6: it really just comes down to accuracy and consistency. So

122
00:06:18,813 --> 00:06:22,053
Speaker 6: whether that's spin or scene, we've seen that the most

123
00:06:22,053 --> 00:06:25,613
Speaker 6: successful I think players in these conditions it does come

124
00:06:25,653 --> 00:06:29,853
Speaker 6: down to accuracy. And you look at Again and Dere

125
00:06:30,093 --> 00:06:35,333
Speaker 6: and someone like Ashwin and Judasia who just I guess

126
00:06:35,933 --> 00:06:38,813
Speaker 6: they survive on their accuracy over here. And it's something

127
00:06:38,853 --> 00:06:42,693
Speaker 6: that we keep talking about with our players is our

128
00:06:42,733 --> 00:06:44,653
Speaker 6: ability to do that will be very important through this

129
00:06:45,053 --> 00:06:45,813
Speaker 6: series as well.

130
00:06:46,893 --> 00:06:48,613
Speaker 3: What attitude do you want to take into the test

131
00:06:48,653 --> 00:06:50,253
Speaker 3: in terms of on the pack, You really have to

132
00:06:50,293 --> 00:06:52,333
Speaker 3: take them on like the old days of when we

133
00:06:52,413 --> 00:06:55,733
Speaker 3: played Australia, rather than just looking for survival. You've got

134
00:06:55,733 --> 00:06:57,453
Speaker 3: to take them on and make the play.

135
00:06:58,293 --> 00:07:00,893
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that depends a little bit on how

136
00:07:00,933 --> 00:07:03,573
Speaker 6: the pitch is playing at the time, but we've certainly

137
00:07:03,573 --> 00:07:06,213
Speaker 6: talked about wanting to be a team that plays with

138
00:07:06,773 --> 00:07:11,173
Speaker 6: I guess a slightly more aggressive It's it's got to

139
00:07:11,213 --> 00:07:14,053
Speaker 6: become what it has to come natural to the players.

140
00:07:14,093 --> 00:07:17,173
Speaker 6: We have though as well, so we're asking our players

141
00:07:17,213 --> 00:07:20,053
Speaker 6: to play with a style that they're going to walk

142
00:07:20,053 --> 00:07:21,933
Speaker 6: off the park at the end of the day saying, hey,

143
00:07:21,933 --> 00:07:23,733
Speaker 6: I can I can live and die by it, by

144
00:07:23,773 --> 00:07:27,133
Speaker 6: the way that I've played out there. And and because

145
00:07:27,173 --> 00:07:29,573
Speaker 6: ultimately it is their careers, it's the ones that that

146
00:07:30,293 --> 00:07:33,573
Speaker 6: they are. They are batting and bowling in their careers,

147
00:07:33,613 --> 00:07:38,013
Speaker 6: it's no one else, So we are encouraging them to

148
00:07:38,053 --> 00:07:41,253
Speaker 6: play that way, and we certainly know against India to

149
00:07:41,693 --> 00:07:44,213
Speaker 6: beat them, especially if it does start turning, then you

150
00:07:44,293 --> 00:07:46,773
Speaker 6: have to take a certain amount of risk and with

151
00:07:46,813 --> 00:07:49,973
Speaker 6: the bat to score the runs that you want to score.

152
00:07:50,533 --> 00:07:52,533
Speaker 3: Any update on Cain Williamson.

153
00:07:52,653 --> 00:07:54,573
Speaker 6: He certainly won't be here to Test one, but we

154
00:07:54,733 --> 00:07:56,813
Speaker 6: just play that by air at the moment and we're

155
00:07:56,893 --> 00:07:59,733
Speaker 6: hopeful that he'll be He'll be right for Test too.

156
00:08:00,093 --> 00:08:02,013
Speaker 3: When will a decision be made?

157
00:08:02,573 --> 00:08:05,533
Speaker 6: Look, I imagine it will be somewhere through that middle

158
00:08:05,573 --> 00:08:08,693
Speaker 6: of the first Test, and then I think this still

159
00:08:08,693 --> 00:08:11,413
Speaker 6: three or four days in between the two tests, so

160
00:08:12,293 --> 00:08:15,853
Speaker 6: it's probably no different to us getting here yesterday and

161
00:08:15,533 --> 00:08:17,453
Speaker 6: being ready for a test in four days.

162
00:08:17,613 --> 00:08:20,853
Speaker 3: Depending on your selections. Who's going about at number.

163
00:08:20,613 --> 00:08:24,453
Speaker 6: Eight someone has to say yeah, look, I mean Matt

164
00:08:24,453 --> 00:08:27,733
Speaker 6: Henry's scored runs there before. Tim Soudy's better than that position.

165
00:08:27,773 --> 00:08:30,133
Speaker 6: They've both scored fifties and that for New Zealand, So

166
00:08:30,693 --> 00:08:34,573
Speaker 6: that's always the balance. I think that possibly in New

167
00:08:34,653 --> 00:08:40,093
Speaker 6: Zealand becomes more you think about it more there, especially

168
00:08:40,133 --> 00:08:42,893
Speaker 6: if it's going to be like real Seema friendly. I

169
00:08:42,893 --> 00:08:44,573
Speaker 6: think here the first thing you want to do is

170
00:08:44,613 --> 00:08:46,693
Speaker 6: make sure you've got the bowl, as you think that

171
00:08:46,773 --> 00:08:50,533
Speaker 6: can take twenty wickets as well, and that's certainly part

172
00:08:50,533 --> 00:08:52,773
Speaker 6: of the thinking as we go into this first Test.

173
00:08:52,973 --> 00:08:55,013
Speaker 3: What about number three? Will Young?

174
00:08:55,853 --> 00:08:58,853
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would imagine so, yeah, I see that Will

175
00:08:58,973 --> 00:09:01,773
Speaker 6: Young is likely to slot into that position.

176
00:09:02,053 --> 00:09:04,413
Speaker 3: What's the latest situation with Kyle Jamison.

177
00:09:04,693 --> 00:09:10,413
Speaker 6: Yeah, Kyle's progressing well. I haven't obviously seen him for

178
00:09:10,453 --> 00:09:12,613
Speaker 6: a while now being that we've been over here, but

179
00:09:12,853 --> 00:09:16,933
Speaker 6: I've seen some video of him and he's tracking along nicely.

180
00:09:17,093 --> 00:09:20,933
Speaker 6: I mean the plan is still for him to start

181
00:09:20,973 --> 00:09:24,293
Speaker 6: in that super smash type window and he's sent me

182
00:09:24,333 --> 00:09:26,693
Speaker 6: on track to be ready for that.

183
00:09:27,573 --> 00:09:32,053
Speaker 3: There's some quite interesting comments in there. One of those

184
00:09:32,373 --> 00:09:36,293
Speaker 3: is south to be considered as a number eight. I

185
00:09:36,333 --> 00:09:38,413
Speaker 3: can't believe it. I mean, he struggles to be a

186
00:09:38,453 --> 00:09:42,533
Speaker 3: number eleven at Test match level. Batting at number eight. Goodness,

187
00:09:42,533 --> 00:09:45,653
Speaker 3: gracious me, is that what Gazilla is reduced to.

188
00:09:47,053 --> 00:09:49,933
Speaker 5: It seems incredible, doesn't it. I mean, you know, so

189
00:09:50,053 --> 00:09:54,253
Speaker 5: many fans have been so frustrated over the Southy's betting

190
00:09:54,293 --> 00:09:56,333
Speaker 5: for such a long time. We all know the contribution

191
00:09:56,453 --> 00:09:59,973
Speaker 5: he's made with the ball, you know, I can't remember

192
00:10:00,013 --> 00:10:04,413
Speaker 5: the last time that he, in the old fashioned phrase,

193
00:10:04,453 --> 00:10:07,253
Speaker 5: got his head done and played a proper cricket knock.

194
00:10:07,973 --> 00:10:10,973
Speaker 5: He is seemingly just constantly trying to hit the ball

195
00:10:11,013 --> 00:10:14,293
Speaker 5: over the boundary from his number nine position. You know,

196
00:10:14,333 --> 00:10:16,813
Speaker 5: I think his batting, I think he's let himself down

197
00:10:16,853 --> 00:10:19,213
Speaker 5: in New Zealand down with his batting over an extended

198
00:10:19,213 --> 00:10:23,733
Speaker 5: period of time. And it just shows you the sort

199
00:10:23,773 --> 00:10:27,693
Speaker 5: of lack of well, this inability to get out of

200
00:10:27,693 --> 00:10:30,373
Speaker 5: the club really that I call this team now, And

201
00:10:31,013 --> 00:10:34,653
Speaker 5: it just seems like I for starters, I didn't think

202
00:10:34,653 --> 00:10:36,973
Speaker 5: Saldy would get picked for the Test, and I think

203
00:10:37,013 --> 00:10:40,493
Speaker 5: that's the right selection. But then to pick him and

204
00:10:40,613 --> 00:10:44,613
Speaker 5: play him at number eight, I just find it extraordinary.

205
00:10:45,253 --> 00:10:48,213
Speaker 5: And the whole thing is so sad really seeing a

206
00:10:48,293 --> 00:10:53,013
Speaker 5: captain having to stand down as captain during a series

207
00:10:53,093 --> 00:10:56,733
Speaker 5: or before this new series starts going to Sri Lanka

208
00:10:56,773 --> 00:11:02,733
Speaker 5: and underperforming having underperformed in series before that. It's very

209
00:11:02,853 --> 00:11:05,613
Speaker 5: amusing and I'm sure there will be a lot of

210
00:11:05,653 --> 00:11:09,333
Speaker 5: New Zealand fans who are extremely frustrated by what they

211
00:11:09,373 --> 00:11:10,173
Speaker 5: hear and see.

212
00:11:10,813 --> 00:11:14,253
Speaker 3: Jerry, You've had a look at teams that could be

213
00:11:14,293 --> 00:11:17,173
Speaker 3: picked out of the squad that they've got there, and

214
00:11:17,213 --> 00:11:20,893
Speaker 3: I don't think any of those teams included Sauvi from

215
00:11:21,733 --> 00:11:26,533
Speaker 3: our point of view. Unless Stead is determined to play

216
00:11:26,613 --> 00:11:29,613
Speaker 3: three seamers as India have done, as he mentioned, and

217
00:11:29,653 --> 00:11:34,173
Speaker 3: that would be Sauve, will I Rourke and Matt Henry,

218
00:11:34,213 --> 00:11:35,053
Speaker 3: then wouldn't.

219
00:11:34,693 --> 00:11:38,373
Speaker 2: It Probably wid I think the underlying issue about the

220
00:11:38,373 --> 00:11:42,453
Speaker 2: New Zealand side is and the number eight position you're

221
00:11:42,453 --> 00:11:44,973
Speaker 2: talking about, is that none of our main bowl is

222
00:11:45,053 --> 00:11:49,613
Speaker 2: bat That's an issue at this level. Now, Why has

223
00:11:49,653 --> 00:11:55,653
Speaker 2: that happened? Why has Saudi allowed himself to treat his

224
00:11:55,733 --> 00:11:59,933
Speaker 2: batting in such a frivolous way? But for so long?

225
00:12:01,173 --> 00:12:03,693
Speaker 2: I hear Steed said he got a fifty at number

226
00:12:03,733 --> 00:12:06,173
Speaker 2: eight or something like that. I had a quick look

227
00:12:06,733 --> 00:12:11,733
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three he got seventy three against England

228
00:12:11,733 --> 00:12:13,653
Speaker 2: at the base in reserve. You remember the time they

229
00:12:13,693 --> 00:12:17,013
Speaker 2: won by one run in England, you know inserted, and

230
00:12:17,013 --> 00:12:18,773
Speaker 2: you said, well they got to follow on, didn't they?

231
00:12:18,773 --> 00:12:21,613
Speaker 2: And they were in the field for so long. And

232
00:12:21,653 --> 00:12:23,413
Speaker 2: that was at a strike rate of one hundred and

233
00:12:23,453 --> 00:12:27,693
Speaker 2: forty nine, which just highlights Garth's point back promptly. Then

234
00:12:27,853 --> 00:12:31,373
Speaker 2: five years before that, twenty eighteen, he got a fifty

235
00:12:32,013 --> 00:12:34,573
Speaker 2: that was at christ Church strike rate one hundred and

236
00:12:34,573 --> 00:12:38,613
Speaker 2: four versus England again. And four years before that two

237
00:12:38,613 --> 00:12:42,373
Speaker 2: thousand and fourteen, he got a forty at Leeds strike

238
00:12:42,453 --> 00:12:46,093
Speaker 2: rate of one hundred and sixty six. So you can

239
00:12:46,133 --> 00:12:48,893
Speaker 2: see if Saudi bats at eight, is he going to

240
00:12:48,973 --> 00:12:53,893
Speaker 2: smash Ashwyn over five hundred and twenty Test wickets? Now

241
00:12:54,013 --> 00:12:59,733
Speaker 2: Jadasia or Boomera around, is he going to smash Sarah

242
00:12:59,653 --> 00:13:03,773
Speaker 2: will simply bounce him. So I think if you look

243
00:13:03,773 --> 00:13:08,333
Speaker 2: at past New Zealand sides ninety nine two thousand Flemings

244
00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:13,533
Speaker 2: team in India number eight, Chris Keirns, number nine, Dion

245
00:13:13,693 --> 00:13:20,493
Speaker 2: Nash number ten, Daniel Vittori, that's an interesting eight nine ten,

246
00:13:20,573 --> 00:13:23,133
Speaker 2: isn't it. And then in nineteen eighty five New Zealand

247
00:13:23,173 --> 00:13:26,973
Speaker 2: played Australia. That's our team. We didn't play against India.

248
00:13:27,733 --> 00:13:31,773
Speaker 2: Number eight Smith, number nine Braceful, both of those two

249
00:13:32,133 --> 00:13:37,333
Speaker 2: dot Test hundreds, Number ten Lance Keirns. And then you

250
00:13:37,413 --> 00:13:39,773
Speaker 2: go back to that team you were talking about fifty

251
00:13:39,813 --> 00:13:43,613
Speaker 2: five years ago, nineteen sixty nine in India, Number eight

252
00:13:43,653 --> 00:13:48,453
Speaker 2: Wadsworth top score eighty, number nine Dale Hadley top score

253
00:13:48,533 --> 00:13:52,973
Speaker 2: fifty six, number ten Bob Curis top score fifty one,

254
00:13:53,773 --> 00:13:58,053
Speaker 2: and number eleven Hendley Howard top score sixty one. They

255
00:13:58,053 --> 00:14:01,013
Speaker 2: could all hold a bat and you compare it to

256
00:14:01,093 --> 00:14:04,053
Speaker 2: the lot that we've got. Now there is an issue,

257
00:14:04,053 --> 00:14:05,333
Speaker 2: isn't it straight away?

258
00:14:05,533 --> 00:14:06,813
Speaker 5: And the other thing that you meet you when you

259
00:14:06,853 --> 00:14:09,573
Speaker 5: talk about heavy houth and you know in nineteen sixty

260
00:14:09,653 --> 00:14:11,933
Speaker 5: nine he took nine wickets in the testments that they

261
00:14:11,973 --> 00:14:14,093
Speaker 5: wanted in the eight or nine, so he could bowl

262
00:14:14,133 --> 00:14:14,853
Speaker 5: as well.

263
00:14:16,413 --> 00:14:16,653
Speaker 3: Well.

264
00:14:18,053 --> 00:14:22,293
Speaker 5: When you look at Saudi's last ten innings in this

265
00:14:22,413 --> 00:14:25,173
Speaker 5: calendar year, he's faced i think one hundred and two

266
00:14:25,253 --> 00:14:27,773
Speaker 5: balls and ten innings. His scores are five to one

267
00:14:27,933 --> 00:14:31,933
Speaker 5: seven twenty six, not three two two ten and he's

268
00:14:31,933 --> 00:14:32,653
Speaker 5: been promoted.

269
00:14:33,213 --> 00:14:37,173
Speaker 2: It just says why we need someone like a Nathan

270
00:14:37,293 --> 00:14:41,013
Speaker 2: Smith who can bowl his little seema and swing it

271
00:14:41,093 --> 00:14:43,373
Speaker 2: a wee bit. Got the most wickets in the in

272
00:14:43,413 --> 00:14:46,853
Speaker 2: the Planket Shield last year. Has been over playing in

273
00:14:46,933 --> 00:14:50,733
Speaker 2: England of that sort of player, but he can hold

274
00:14:50,733 --> 00:14:52,213
Speaker 2: a bat as well well.

275
00:14:52,253 --> 00:14:54,653
Speaker 5: I think I think more importantly Jerry, you know I

276
00:14:55,213 --> 00:14:58,053
Speaker 5: agree with you completely, but I bit more importantly. It

277
00:14:58,813 --> 00:15:01,973
Speaker 5: just cries out for you know, a massive shift in thinking,

278
00:15:01,973 --> 00:15:04,333
Speaker 5: and that means a change in personnel in terms of

279
00:15:04,373 --> 00:15:07,173
Speaker 5: I think Gary Steden co time for a change. This

280
00:15:07,293 --> 00:15:11,333
Speaker 5: sort of thinking as woolly and can't last.

281
00:15:11,373 --> 00:15:12,013
Speaker 2: I'm afraid.

282
00:15:12,173 --> 00:15:14,253
Speaker 3: The other person, of course, that I don't think that

283
00:15:14,293 --> 00:15:16,733
Speaker 3: they can include in this Test match is Mitchell Sentner.

284
00:15:16,853 --> 00:15:19,733
Speaker 3: Either more from a bowling point of view rather than

285
00:15:19,733 --> 00:15:20,693
Speaker 3: a batting point of view.

286
00:15:20,893 --> 00:15:25,293
Speaker 5: He is being picked again as a specialist spinner wads.

287
00:15:25,373 --> 00:15:28,893
Speaker 5: I think he's played in twenty eight Tests now. He's

288
00:15:28,973 --> 00:15:32,733
Speaker 5: taken his wickets at a cost of forty two runs.

289
00:15:33,093 --> 00:15:35,573
Speaker 5: His best bowling figures are three for forty four in

290
00:15:35,613 --> 00:15:38,933
Speaker 5: a Test match. He's never taken five wickets. He's never

291
00:15:38,973 --> 00:15:42,493
Speaker 5: taken four wickets in a Test innings, and yet he

292
00:15:42,533 --> 00:15:45,493
Speaker 5: has played twenty eight Test matches for New Zealand as

293
00:15:45,493 --> 00:15:49,613
Speaker 5: a specialist spin bowler again. You know, I think New

294
00:15:49,733 --> 00:15:52,573
Speaker 5: Zealand cricket should that we should hang our heads in

295
00:15:52,653 --> 00:15:56,733
Speaker 5: shame that he has picked as a front line spin bowler.

296
00:15:57,013 --> 00:15:59,973
Speaker 5: And I think the fact that Sody has been called

297
00:16:00,013 --> 00:16:04,253
Speaker 5: in for Tests two and three just as a further

298
00:16:04,533 --> 00:16:08,453
Speaker 5: indictment on the spin bowling ranks in New Zealand. For

299
00:16:08,573 --> 00:16:11,493
Speaker 5: him to be traveling over there with the possibility of

300
00:16:11,533 --> 00:16:14,573
Speaker 5: playing Test cricket, that simply tells you that we have

301
00:16:14,813 --> 00:16:17,853
Speaker 5: very little strength in those numbers. And I have to

302
00:16:17,853 --> 00:16:20,333
Speaker 5: say it's something that we've been preaching about for a

303
00:16:20,373 --> 00:16:21,093
Speaker 5: number of years.

304
00:16:22,093 --> 00:16:25,253
Speaker 3: Well he's over there of course because Michael Braceball may

305
00:16:25,253 --> 00:16:27,453
Speaker 3: be returning home for the birth of another child, so

306
00:16:27,813 --> 00:16:30,093
Speaker 3: he's going to be there as a replacement for Braceball.

307
00:16:30,493 --> 00:16:32,613
Speaker 3: We want to pick a side that's going to be aggressive,

308
00:16:32,613 --> 00:16:34,973
Speaker 3: that's going to be able to take India on. We're

309
00:16:35,013 --> 00:16:37,453
Speaker 3: not going to have Williamson at three. Will Young seems

310
00:16:37,453 --> 00:16:40,253
Speaker 3: to be the man. According to Gary Stead, what's our

311
00:16:40,293 --> 00:16:42,053
Speaker 3: top five or top six flock?

312
00:16:42,133 --> 00:16:47,653
Speaker 2: Like Jerry Colonway lays the young Ravendra Mitchell Phillips, I

313
00:16:47,693 --> 00:16:50,533
Speaker 2: don't think there's too much doubt you can change a

314
00:16:50,573 --> 00:16:52,493
Speaker 2: few of the numbers around, but those will be the

315
00:16:52,973 --> 00:16:59,813
Speaker 2: six players with Williamson absent. So I mean, I think

316
00:16:59,973 --> 00:17:04,853
Speaker 2: really we could pick three different sides. I disagree with you,

317
00:17:04,933 --> 00:17:07,013
Speaker 2: but with Garth, I think that Santner is one of

318
00:17:07,013 --> 00:17:10,373
Speaker 2: our better number eights, even though it's not particularly strong.

319
00:17:10,413 --> 00:17:12,453
Speaker 2: I think he got a thirty and a fifty or

320
00:17:12,493 --> 00:17:16,813
Speaker 2: something like that in Sri Lanka. But if I it's

321
00:17:16,853 --> 00:17:19,253
Speaker 2: a you know, if if I wanted to pick the

322
00:17:19,293 --> 00:17:23,013
Speaker 2: best strongest batting lineup, and that may not be the

323
00:17:23,053 --> 00:17:26,693
Speaker 2: way you want to go, I'd have those six that

324
00:17:26,733 --> 00:17:30,333
Speaker 2: I've mentioned blood or would be at seven, and then

325
00:17:30,373 --> 00:17:35,813
Speaker 2: you'd have Sentner, Henry, Patel O'Rourke. Now what that leaves

326
00:17:35,893 --> 00:17:38,613
Speaker 2: is the best lower order we have at the moment

327
00:17:38,933 --> 00:17:41,653
Speaker 2: for batting. You know, mean means you've got two seemas

328
00:17:41,653 --> 00:17:45,053
Speaker 2: O'Rourke and Henry. Is that the option you want? It

329
00:17:45,173 --> 00:17:48,493
Speaker 2: means you use O'Rourke and Henry and after an initial

330
00:17:48,613 --> 00:17:52,093
Speaker 2: crack with the new ball, you then give them short

331
00:17:52,173 --> 00:17:56,453
Speaker 2: two to three over bursts to go with the spinners

332
00:17:56,493 --> 00:17:59,933
Speaker 2: Stantner and Patel. Stantner you would have to use as

333
00:17:59,933 --> 00:18:03,053
Speaker 2: a holding like a third Seema Wads, as he used

334
00:18:03,093 --> 00:18:08,053
Speaker 2: to do when Mike Hessen was the coach, especially in

335
00:18:08,093 --> 00:18:11,373
Speaker 2: the fings, so that would be similar to the Sri

336
00:18:11,453 --> 00:18:14,853
Speaker 2: Lankan sides that we saw. Then the strongest bowling option

337
00:18:15,013 --> 00:18:18,853
Speaker 2: for me would be Blundle at seven, Henry at eight,

338
00:18:19,613 --> 00:18:24,773
Speaker 2: but Tell at nine, Sally it's at number ten and eleven.

339
00:18:24,893 --> 00:18:31,333
Speaker 2: Oh Raw, that's the three seamers and one spinner. Totel

340
00:18:31,413 --> 00:18:34,853
Speaker 2: with the two part timers, and that, I censor is

341
00:18:34,893 --> 00:18:38,893
Speaker 2: the team that New Zealand will favor. The seamers can

342
00:18:38,933 --> 00:18:42,493
Speaker 2: do a better job I think in Asia than a

343
00:18:42,533 --> 00:18:46,333
Speaker 2: second spinner. Actually, you can get through your first innings

344
00:18:46,333 --> 00:18:49,173
Speaker 2: a lot more by using a seamer at one end

345
00:18:49,213 --> 00:18:52,413
Speaker 2: and a spinner at the other. It weakens the New

346
00:18:52,493 --> 00:18:57,693
Speaker 2: Zealand batting quite a lot, I think. And then the

347
00:18:57,733 --> 00:18:59,893
Speaker 2: third option I think if you want to pursue you

348
00:18:59,973 --> 00:19:04,533
Speaker 2: mentioned was an aggressive lineup and aggressive play. Gary Stead

349
00:19:04,573 --> 00:19:07,133
Speaker 2: spoke about that, but to go in tandem with the

350
00:19:07,173 --> 00:19:10,253
Speaker 2: batting that they that they use against spin. At the moment,

351
00:19:10,853 --> 00:19:14,773
Speaker 2: you have Blundle at seven, Henry at eight, but Tell

352
00:19:14,813 --> 00:19:19,533
Speaker 2: at nine, Sears at ten, and Iraq at eleven, So

353
00:19:19,573 --> 00:19:23,133
Speaker 2: you get two pace options that will become our future.

354
00:19:23,933 --> 00:19:26,333
Speaker 2: You get Sears and if it swings it will you know,

355
00:19:26,653 --> 00:19:29,413
Speaker 2: he'll get a bit of movement, a rurical attack with

356
00:19:29,453 --> 00:19:32,813
Speaker 2: the bounce. Henry the most consistent medium fast we have

357
00:19:33,653 --> 00:19:37,213
Speaker 2: and that's the way. But there are problems again there

358
00:19:37,533 --> 00:19:38,893
Speaker 2: the batting is weakened.

359
00:19:39,333 --> 00:19:42,533
Speaker 3: Two good options, though, Garth, I think in terms of

360
00:19:42,653 --> 00:19:48,253
Speaker 3: the final makeup, bearing in mind that spinning option that

361
00:19:48,293 --> 00:19:53,173
Speaker 3: you talked about as a weak area, no braceful. Would

362
00:19:53,173 --> 00:19:55,933
Speaker 3: you play them in one Test match and then have

363
00:19:56,053 --> 00:19:58,053
Speaker 3: him come home for the birth of his child?

364
00:19:58,573 --> 00:20:02,093
Speaker 5: Well, you see, I probably would if I'd like to

365
00:20:02,093 --> 00:20:05,893
Speaker 5: see him packed the head of Satan. But again, what

366
00:20:05,973 --> 00:20:08,333
Speaker 5: I would like and what they will do two different things.

367
00:20:08,693 --> 00:20:11,973
Speaker 5: And you know, I think when Jerry's right, they will

368
00:20:11,973 --> 00:20:15,293
Speaker 5: pick Satner. I think you know that that's against figures

369
00:20:15,413 --> 00:20:18,133
Speaker 5: of one none for sixty four, one for fifty one

370
00:20:18,373 --> 00:20:21,613
Speaker 5: and none for eighty two in Gaul in Sri Lanka.

371
00:20:21,693 --> 00:20:24,773
Speaker 5: So but they'll pick him, and they'll pick him because

372
00:20:24,973 --> 00:20:28,253
Speaker 5: of his batting strength. And you know this is this

373
00:20:28,293 --> 00:20:30,853
Speaker 5: is what Jerry's referred to and that's been a constant

374
00:20:30,973 --> 00:20:35,293
Speaker 5: theme with this, with this New Zealand setup. I think

375
00:20:35,413 --> 00:20:38,373
Speaker 5: though that you know everything that you're hearing from Gary

376
00:20:38,453 --> 00:20:42,773
Speaker 5: Stead tells you that they're going to play Saudi. That's

377
00:20:42,933 --> 00:20:45,293
Speaker 5: that's what I think they're going to do, you know,

378
00:20:45,373 --> 00:20:47,813
Speaker 5: And that means that they will have to play Henry

379
00:20:48,573 --> 00:20:52,093
Speaker 5: and O'Rourke as well. And so it just becomes to

380
00:20:52,133 --> 00:20:54,133
Speaker 5: me if that's what they go ahead with, they move

381
00:20:54,173 --> 00:20:57,093
Speaker 5: away from what they did in twenty twenty one where

382
00:20:57,173 --> 00:21:01,653
Speaker 5: they had Jamison and Saldi and Saldi you remember five

383
00:21:01,653 --> 00:21:03,853
Speaker 5: wickets in the first innings in camp or in Bold

384
00:21:04,053 --> 00:21:07,373
Speaker 5: very well, but I can't see him doing that again.

385
00:21:07,653 --> 00:21:10,893
Speaker 5: And if they go with that side, then it weakens

386
00:21:10,893 --> 00:21:14,373
Speaker 5: the spin bowling option. So it just seems to me

387
00:21:14,413 --> 00:21:16,693
Speaker 5: they've got a real problem. But they obviously want to

388
00:21:16,733 --> 00:21:20,653
Speaker 5: play Southy and for me, I would be O'Rourke and

389
00:21:20,773 --> 00:21:23,493
Speaker 5: Henry and then I'd be looking at my spin bowlers,

390
00:21:23,493 --> 00:21:26,453
Speaker 5: Buttel would be the first one i'd pick, and then

391
00:21:26,653 --> 00:21:28,653
Speaker 5: I would be trying to find a way for Bracewell

392
00:21:28,693 --> 00:21:30,373
Speaker 5: and Phillips to be doing the rest of it. But

393
00:21:30,453 --> 00:21:32,693
Speaker 5: I think they'll go with Santana and that defensive option,

394
00:21:32,813 --> 00:21:35,693
Speaker 5: and again, as Jerry says quite rightly, he'll be that

395
00:21:35,773 --> 00:21:38,013
Speaker 5: defensive bowler who can hold an end up and they'll

396
00:21:38,053 --> 00:21:40,693
Speaker 5: hopefully attack from the other ends. But gee, there's going

397
00:21:40,773 --> 00:21:41,533
Speaker 5: to be some work to do.

398
00:21:42,093 --> 00:21:45,573
Speaker 2: Bracewell, as far as our spinners are concerned, is by

399
00:21:45,733 --> 00:21:50,133
Speaker 2: far the most penetrating in terms of spinning the ball.

400
00:21:50,773 --> 00:21:52,773
Speaker 2: He will get the ball to get up in the air,

401
00:21:52,893 --> 00:21:55,693
Speaker 2: he'll dip it away. But they've got to give him

402
00:21:55,733 --> 00:21:59,293
Speaker 2: some bowling. They must get him. He's very good in

403
00:21:59,333 --> 00:22:01,493
Speaker 2: the park and he can get as many runs as

404
00:22:01,533 --> 00:22:04,773
Speaker 2: Santla's going to get and he'll be more dangerous with

405
00:22:04,813 --> 00:22:09,733
Speaker 2: the ball so well, I personally, yeah, I personally think

406
00:22:10,053 --> 00:22:11,493
Speaker 2: he should certainly play.

407
00:22:12,493 --> 00:22:15,093
Speaker 3: The other thing that was interesting when I asked Gary

408
00:22:15,133 --> 00:22:18,173
Speaker 3: Stead about what the things that he would like to

409
00:22:18,173 --> 00:22:21,893
Speaker 3: see an improvement, and he mentioned partnerships. We realized that

410
00:22:21,933 --> 00:22:25,013
Speaker 3: the batting was substandard in Sri Lanka, but he didn't

411
00:22:25,053 --> 00:22:27,173
Speaker 3: mention the fielding. And I think that that was the

412
00:22:27,253 --> 00:22:31,413
Speaker 3: lowest quality fielding I have seen from a New Zealand side.

413
00:22:31,573 --> 00:22:33,933
Speaker 3: You know, we hear the fact that we've pride ourselves

414
00:22:33,933 --> 00:22:36,693
Speaker 3: on our fielding. We've always worked hard on the fielding.

415
00:22:37,253 --> 00:22:40,173
Speaker 3: And I dismissed that no one tries to drop the catch. Well,

416
00:22:40,173 --> 00:22:42,213
Speaker 3: of course that's not the case. Then no one ever

417
00:22:42,253 --> 00:22:45,173
Speaker 3: tries to drop a catch. But the fact of the

418
00:22:45,173 --> 00:22:49,453
Speaker 3: matter are there was some poor attempts at catching during

419
00:22:49,493 --> 00:22:51,613
Speaker 3: that series and that's got to be picked up as

420
00:22:51,653 --> 00:22:53,053
Speaker 3: well to support those bowlers.

421
00:22:53,653 --> 00:22:57,253
Speaker 5: Two key positions for me in that regard once Blundell

422
00:22:57,333 --> 00:22:59,173
Speaker 5: behind the stumps for New Zealand is going to be

423
00:22:59,173 --> 00:23:01,733
Speaker 5: absolutely critical. I don't think he kept particularly well in

424
00:23:01,733 --> 00:23:04,373
Speaker 5: India last time, and I don't think he kept particularly

425
00:23:04,373 --> 00:23:07,453
Speaker 5: well in Tri Lanka and he did drop a crucial chance.

426
00:23:07,773 --> 00:23:10,733
Speaker 5: And then of course Mitchell at first slip, and we've

427
00:23:10,773 --> 00:23:13,373
Speaker 5: said live on here on a number of occasions that

428
00:23:13,413 --> 00:23:16,253
Speaker 5: Mitchell does not look like a natural first slipper. Yes

429
00:23:16,333 --> 00:23:19,013
Speaker 5: he does take some good grabs in there, but he's

430
00:23:19,053 --> 00:23:21,453
Speaker 5: not consistent enough in my opinion to be a top

431
00:23:21,493 --> 00:23:25,253
Speaker 5: class first slip. And it's very hard that those two

432
00:23:25,293 --> 00:23:29,213
Speaker 5: positions are absolutely critical. And you know New Zealand are

433
00:23:29,253 --> 00:23:32,053
Speaker 5: going to be starting well and truly behind things in

434
00:23:32,053 --> 00:23:35,933
Speaker 5: India and they have got to be They've got to

435
00:23:35,973 --> 00:23:37,453
Speaker 5: be perfect behind the stumps.

436
00:23:37,453 --> 00:23:42,373
Speaker 2: In my view, if you get in in India, you

437
00:23:42,493 --> 00:23:46,093
Speaker 2: get runs and runs, particularly in the first innings. The

438
00:23:46,173 --> 00:23:50,853
Speaker 2: best way you know, how Will Young is going to

439
00:23:50,853 --> 00:23:53,853
Speaker 2: get four possible innings isn't he at number three? I

440
00:23:53,893 --> 00:23:57,253
Speaker 2: would think the way it's looking at the moment, if

441
00:23:57,293 --> 00:24:02,093
Speaker 2: Williamson doesn't get back there, maybe six. Actually, if Conway fails,

442
00:24:02,133 --> 00:24:06,933
Speaker 2: who knows, this could be a tough tour India, a

443
00:24:07,053 --> 00:24:10,973
Speaker 2: stronger bowling attack New Zealand Boom run Saraj. They like

444
00:24:11,093 --> 00:24:14,853
Speaker 2: this fellow a steep not a step seeing akash Deep

445
00:24:14,893 --> 00:24:18,293
Speaker 2: as well, they like him. But Ashwand Jadeja, Akshapatel and

446
00:24:18,373 --> 00:24:22,413
Speaker 2: Kildep Yadav. That's all good spinners, aren't they over there?

447
00:24:22,453 --> 00:24:25,613
Speaker 2: They've got more experience and they know how to use

448
00:24:25,653 --> 00:24:28,973
Speaker 2: the SG bore which is slightly smaller. It's got a higher,

449
00:24:29,093 --> 00:24:32,813
Speaker 2: more pronounced scene last longer than the kooker barrow does.

450
00:24:34,053 --> 00:24:37,093
Speaker 2: As you pointed out, wads twelve series now in India,

451
00:24:37,653 --> 00:24:40,053
Speaker 2: and the best we've done is one all fifty five

452
00:24:40,133 --> 00:24:44,293
Speaker 2: years ago. You know, our best batsmen is absent. Our

453
00:24:44,333 --> 00:24:47,613
Speaker 2: batsmen gets sixties and seventies. They got to be one

454
00:24:47,733 --> 00:24:52,613
Speaker 2: hundred and fifties over there. And I've highlighted here our

455
00:24:52,653 --> 00:24:57,893
Speaker 2: fielding in New Zealand has deteriorated. So I've come in.

456
00:24:58,053 --> 00:25:01,213
Speaker 2: But anyway, England, and the last point I would make

457
00:25:01,293 --> 00:25:05,733
Speaker 2: is India away in Australia next so they will know

458
00:25:06,413 --> 00:25:08,973
Speaker 2: they want the points against New Zealan and they got

459
00:25:08,973 --> 00:25:11,933
Speaker 2: a five Test series in Australia. The incent of is

460
00:25:11,973 --> 00:25:14,173
Speaker 2: there for India to play well.

461
00:25:14,333 --> 00:25:18,013
Speaker 1: Brian Waddell, Jeremy Coney on the front foot.

462
00:25:18,293 --> 00:25:23,173
Speaker 3: Talking about fielding, one of the great fieldsmen of Black

463
00:25:23,173 --> 00:25:28,053
Speaker 3: Cap era has passed away last week. You Garth and

464
00:25:28,133 --> 00:25:30,133
Speaker 3: Jerry or Jerry you would have played with him in

465
00:25:30,173 --> 00:25:33,053
Speaker 3: a few games. I think your first game featured Brian

466
00:25:33,133 --> 00:25:37,213
Speaker 3: Hastings who passed away in christ Church and yet another

467
00:25:37,413 --> 00:25:41,373
Speaker 3: farewell to a frontline Black Cap cricketer.

468
00:25:41,773 --> 00:25:46,413
Speaker 5: Absolutely and Brian Hastings was a lovely man and as

469
00:25:46,453 --> 00:25:50,893
Speaker 5: you mentioned, was a very fine fielder, particularly in the

470
00:25:50,933 --> 00:25:55,013
Speaker 5: gully behind the stunts. A yeah, lovely man and a

471
00:25:55,013 --> 00:25:57,973
Speaker 5: good player. Played at thirty one matches over a period

472
00:25:58,253 --> 00:26:01,453
Speaker 5: of seven years for New Zealand. That was a lot

473
00:26:01,493 --> 00:26:04,133
Speaker 5: of Test cricket in those days. He scored four centuries

474
00:26:04,813 --> 00:26:08,093
Speaker 5: which makes him more than useful in those days and

475
00:26:08,613 --> 00:26:11,413
Speaker 5: thirty which I ventured to suggested a little bit below part.

476
00:26:11,533 --> 00:26:15,733
Speaker 5: But the pictures weren't as they are today. The ball

477
00:26:15,813 --> 00:26:19,533
Speaker 5: seemed around a little bit more and Brian Hastings will

478
00:26:19,573 --> 00:26:23,893
Speaker 5: be remembered very fondly in d by many New Zealand fans,

479
00:26:23,893 --> 00:26:27,333
Speaker 5: and of course he played in a few fascinating series.

480
00:26:28,453 --> 00:26:32,053
Speaker 5: He played, of course in that win against the West Indies,

481
00:26:32,573 --> 00:26:36,453
Speaker 5: played in the Test when Rodney Redmond scored his one

482
00:26:36,533 --> 00:26:39,453
Speaker 5: hundred in his first Test match, and featured in that

483
00:26:39,573 --> 00:26:42,613
Speaker 5: magnificent partnership with the Richard Collins one hundred and fifty

484
00:26:42,653 --> 00:26:44,813
Speaker 5: one for the tenth wicket's.

485
00:26:44,093 --> 00:26:47,573
Speaker 4: Seventy nine for nine with Hastings on one hundred and

486
00:26:47,973 --> 00:26:53,693
Speaker 4: two Collins fifty three one hundred and twenty eight. This

487
00:26:53,773 --> 00:26:56,853
Speaker 4: one's the College helps us in a swear another world

488
00:26:56,853 --> 00:26:57,573
Speaker 4: with God.

489
00:26:58,693 --> 00:27:02,253
Speaker 5: Run through the coother yep, we remember him with a

490
00:27:02,253 --> 00:27:06,893
Speaker 5: great deal of affection. Brian Hastings terrific contribution to New

491
00:27:06,973 --> 00:27:07,653
Speaker 5: Zealand cricket.

492
00:27:08,413 --> 00:27:12,413
Speaker 2: Yeah haste. What a good natured, affable and kind of

493
00:27:12,453 --> 00:27:17,693
Speaker 2: popular team man he was. His playing instincts were always assertive.

494
00:27:18,053 --> 00:27:21,053
Speaker 2: He liked to set up or attacker targets. You know,

495
00:27:22,253 --> 00:27:25,813
Speaker 2: good in the park. You mentioned Gully Garth that certainly

496
00:27:25,893 --> 00:27:30,133
Speaker 2: and also cover when I was playing. He was part

497
00:27:30,173 --> 00:27:32,853
Speaker 2: of that team in the late sixties and early seventies

498
00:27:32,973 --> 00:27:36,413
Speaker 2: really wasn't he. When you remember players like Burgess and

499
00:27:36,493 --> 00:27:39,613
Speaker 2: Hastings and Turner and Congo and Wadsworth, those kinds of

500
00:27:39,693 --> 00:27:43,933
Speaker 2: people often scored runs when they were needed. You mentioned

501
00:27:43,933 --> 00:27:47,053
Speaker 2: that base in reserve sixty nine. I remember that was

502
00:27:47,093 --> 00:27:49,853
Speaker 2: the day when Charlie Griffiths and Prof Edwards, the two

503
00:27:49,893 --> 00:27:53,133
Speaker 2: opening bowlers for the West Indies, were left out of

504
00:27:53,173 --> 00:27:56,133
Speaker 2: the touring team to go to England for the West Indies,

505
00:27:56,573 --> 00:28:00,213
Speaker 2: and they unleashed their anger on the top order of

506
00:28:00,333 --> 00:28:02,773
Speaker 2: New Zealand that time, and the New Zella were only

507
00:28:02,813 --> 00:28:05,213
Speaker 2: chasing about one hundred and fifteen hundred and sixty something

508
00:28:05,293 --> 00:28:09,013
Speaker 2: like that, and Haster went in and we must have

509
00:28:09,093 --> 00:28:12,613
Speaker 2: been two for thirty and then very shortly after three

510
00:28:12,653 --> 00:28:16,013
Speaker 2: for forty. Hayster was in, but Brian Yule came to

511
00:28:16,093 --> 00:28:19,373
Speaker 2: join him at number five. They put together a partnership

512
00:28:19,413 --> 00:28:22,133
Speaker 2: of about US seventy or eighty runs I think, and

513
00:28:22,253 --> 00:28:24,093
Speaker 2: Hayster was not out at the end at oh he

514
00:28:24,173 --> 00:28:27,293
Speaker 2: was over sixty anyway, I know that runs, and Ross

515
00:28:27,333 --> 00:28:30,853
Speaker 2: Morgan from Auckland was batting with him when they won

516
00:28:30,933 --> 00:28:35,293
Speaker 2: that game. There's that famous photo of Graham Dowling wrapping

517
00:28:35,373 --> 00:28:38,133
Speaker 2: his arm around Hayster's shoulder as they walked up from

518
00:28:38,173 --> 00:28:41,013
Speaker 2: the base and reserve up to the up to the

519
00:28:41,093 --> 00:28:45,733
Speaker 2: changing rooms up there. So yeah, I recall two things

520
00:28:45,773 --> 00:28:48,653
Speaker 2: about Hayster. The first was that in seventy four when

521
00:28:48,653 --> 00:28:52,973
Speaker 2: we played Australia at Lancaster Park, a very tight match,

522
00:28:53,773 --> 00:28:56,693
Speaker 2: both teams scoring about two thirty to two point fifty

523
00:28:56,693 --> 00:28:59,973
Speaker 2: in each of their innings, and we were batting last,

524
00:29:00,093 --> 00:29:04,293
Speaker 2: chasing Ida know about two thirty, we lost Dad Parker

525
00:29:04,333 --> 00:29:09,493
Speaker 2: in mystery Morrison and Congo. Congo was run out and

526
00:29:09,493 --> 00:29:11,733
Speaker 2: so we were suddenly three for sixty after quite a

527
00:29:11,773 --> 00:29:16,213
Speaker 2: reasonable start. And then Hayster joined Glenn Turner who had

528
00:29:16,213 --> 00:29:19,093
Speaker 2: already got one hundred and the first dig and they

529
00:29:19,133 --> 00:29:22,053
Speaker 2: had a partnership of over one hundred. I was next in.

530
00:29:22,133 --> 00:29:24,453
Speaker 2: I knew I was watching every ball, willing it on,

531
00:29:25,333 --> 00:29:29,333
Speaker 2: sitting in the tunnel down there at Lancaster Park, and

532
00:29:30,333 --> 00:29:33,093
Speaker 2: Hayster actually got out on the second to last ball

533
00:29:33,133 --> 00:29:36,533
Speaker 2: of the day. I couldn't believe it. He hit Ashley

534
00:29:36,573 --> 00:29:40,773
Speaker 2: Mallet and was caught at long arm, second to last

535
00:29:40,813 --> 00:29:43,293
Speaker 2: ball of the day. I could have strangled his neck,

536
00:29:43,653 --> 00:29:50,253
Speaker 2: scrawny neck. Anyway, we needed about sort of fifty and

537
00:29:49,813 --> 00:29:52,213
Speaker 2: I went in the next day and played a sort

538
00:29:52,253 --> 00:29:54,773
Speaker 2: of a very bad smell innings, you know. I hung

539
00:29:54,813 --> 00:29:59,533
Speaker 2: around and got out with about twenty to go and

540
00:29:59,613 --> 00:30:03,293
Speaker 2: turned from Ken Wadsworth got those runs and I remember

541
00:30:03,293 --> 00:30:06,533
Speaker 2: a big flashing off drive where Words smashed it and

542
00:30:06,613 --> 00:30:11,013
Speaker 2: a spectator stealing the ball trying to run away, but

543
00:30:11,053 --> 00:30:14,813
Speaker 2: he was chased by a very resolute Ian redpath from Australia,

544
00:30:15,853 --> 00:30:17,813
Speaker 2: and he recovered the ball and gave it back to

545
00:30:17,893 --> 00:30:21,613
Speaker 2: Haster actually, who gave it to the Canterbury Association. It

546
00:30:21,693 --> 00:30:25,893
Speaker 2: was mounted and in the fiftieth reunion, just that last

547
00:30:25,973 --> 00:30:29,973
Speaker 2: game we played Australia down there, and it was actually

548
00:30:30,013 --> 00:30:33,533
Speaker 2: at that reunion, So the last time I saw Paste

549
00:30:33,613 --> 00:30:36,773
Speaker 2: actually was in the member's lounge at the pavilion, looking

550
00:30:36,773 --> 00:30:39,693
Speaker 2: a bit frail, but still very much as sparkle in

551
00:30:39,733 --> 00:30:42,893
Speaker 2: the eye. I do remember my last memory of Haste

552
00:30:43,293 --> 00:30:47,413
Speaker 2: as on the ground we were playing in Perth. A

553
00:30:47,493 --> 00:30:50,013
Speaker 2: couple of our bowlers we were bowling, had a quick

554
00:30:50,093 --> 00:30:53,293
Speaker 2: rub down prior to going out, and Haste the city

555
00:30:53,333 --> 00:30:55,493
Speaker 2: had quite a tight back, so he grabbed the young

556
00:30:55,613 --> 00:31:00,013
Speaker 2: jewant that was lying down there and rubbed it on himself.

557
00:31:00,133 --> 00:31:05,533
Speaker 2: Vigorously on his back at presumably the right spot, and

558
00:31:06,693 --> 00:31:09,573
Speaker 2: during which the bell went for us to get onto

559
00:31:09,613 --> 00:31:12,853
Speaker 2: the field. So he raced off to complete a quick

560
00:31:12,933 --> 00:31:16,453
Speaker 2: toilet and then ran out onto the field. And for

561
00:31:16,493 --> 00:31:20,573
Speaker 2: the first ten minutes I've never seen him moving so much.

562
00:31:21,973 --> 00:31:24,693
Speaker 2: I mean he was at cover and he was saving

563
00:31:24,773 --> 00:31:28,333
Speaker 2: one almost at midawn, so he's racing across the pitch

564
00:31:29,133 --> 00:31:32,573
Speaker 2: to save. He could not stop moving. And I went

565
00:31:32,653 --> 00:31:35,813
Speaker 2: past him after an over or two and I said, Haster,

566
00:31:36,773 --> 00:31:41,333
Speaker 2: that stuff's obviously loosened up your back and he said yeah,

567
00:31:41,413 --> 00:31:44,093
Speaker 2: he said, but it was going to the toilet after

568
00:31:44,813 --> 00:31:48,053
Speaker 2: that was the problem. He said, I'm scorching and on

569
00:31:48,173 --> 00:31:57,493
Speaker 2: fire and mistrides. He forgedt. Do you wash his hands? Yeah,

570
00:31:57,533 --> 00:32:02,493
Speaker 2: he had the DP, but you know, Haste to play

571
00:32:02,573 --> 00:32:05,253
Speaker 2: for Burnside. He played for other clubs as well, in

572
00:32:05,333 --> 00:32:08,813
Speaker 2: christ A, Burnside West. He was of course of Wellington College,

573
00:32:09,373 --> 00:32:13,253
Speaker 2: played for Wellington, played for Wellington, Yeah and CD. When

574
00:32:13,253 --> 00:32:17,453
Speaker 2: he lived in Blenham, he was an ICC match referee.

575
00:32:17,973 --> 00:32:23,013
Speaker 2: Love Trotting, loved Trotting, but most of all just a

576
00:32:23,053 --> 00:32:27,853
Speaker 2: bloody good mate, you know. Hastere was and very sad.

577
00:32:28,893 --> 00:32:31,653
Speaker 3: Yeah, pleasant man to talk to when you were in

578
00:32:31,733 --> 00:32:33,853
Speaker 3: christ Church, and he spent a lot of time watching

579
00:32:33,893 --> 00:32:38,253
Speaker 3: games while he was capable. Towards the end of his

580
00:32:38,653 --> 00:32:42,653
Speaker 3: period in christ Church. Sad to see him go, but

581
00:32:42,933 --> 00:32:46,533
Speaker 3: lovely memories of Brian Hastings.

582
00:32:45,653 --> 00:32:49,333
Speaker 2: Brian Waddell, Jeremy Coney on the front foot.

583
00:32:49,573 --> 00:32:51,573
Speaker 3: The White films are now starting to show a greater

584
00:32:51,733 --> 00:32:54,533
Speaker 3: level of consistency. Three wins from four games at the

585
00:32:54,573 --> 00:32:58,253
Speaker 3: Women's T twenty World Cup. That consistency is coming from

586
00:32:58,573 --> 00:33:01,573
Speaker 3: the younger players, Georgia Plummer starting to deliver at the

587
00:33:01,573 --> 00:33:05,013
Speaker 3: top of the order on the expectations from developing talent

588
00:33:05,693 --> 00:33:08,973
Speaker 3: the likes of Eden Carson, fran Jonas gaining the experience

589
00:33:09,253 --> 00:33:12,533
Speaker 3: on the international stage. Some tears of delight for the

590
00:33:12,573 --> 00:33:16,253
Speaker 3: Ferns that skip us, Sophie Divine after beating Pakistan without

591
00:33:16,333 --> 00:33:18,333
Speaker 3: needing run rate to decide their fate.

592
00:33:18,813 --> 00:33:21,013
Speaker 7: Oh lot, we wanted to bat. We thought it was

593
00:33:21,053 --> 00:33:23,253
Speaker 7: a good surface. I thought Pakistan were really smart with

594
00:33:23,253 --> 00:33:24,933
Speaker 7: how they bowl, taking all the pace off it and

595
00:33:24,933 --> 00:33:28,453
Speaker 7: making us have to create power momentum, which is really

596
00:33:28,493 --> 00:33:30,613
Speaker 7: hard to do when you're facing that sort of lack

597
00:33:30,653 --> 00:33:34,493
Speaker 7: of pace. And yeah, I mean outside the power player

598
00:33:34,493 --> 00:33:36,213
Speaker 7: I thought we were sort of talking one thirty one

599
00:33:36,213 --> 00:33:37,813
Speaker 7: to forty would have been about par, but as soon

600
00:33:37,813 --> 00:33:40,813
Speaker 7: as the field is spread, that pace goes off. It

601
00:33:40,893 --> 00:33:43,053
Speaker 7: was extremely hard work, so we sort of had to reassess.

602
00:33:43,093 --> 00:33:44,893
Speaker 7: Obviously we would have liked a few more runs, but

603
00:33:45,213 --> 00:33:47,493
Speaker 7: that's the nature of the game. And then I guess

604
00:33:47,493 --> 00:33:49,093
Speaker 7: the great thing about it as we knew Pakistan were

605
00:33:49,093 --> 00:33:50,853
Speaker 7: going to have to come out swinging, and also we

606
00:33:50,893 --> 00:33:52,733
Speaker 7: knew that one hundred and eleven was going to have

607
00:33:52,733 --> 00:33:55,693
Speaker 7: to be enough, so that probably galvanized the side a

608
00:33:55,693 --> 00:33:58,613
Speaker 7: little bit to know that it's enough runs for us today.

609
00:33:58,653 --> 00:34:00,613
Speaker 7: And again, just really proud of the way the group

610
00:34:01,053 --> 00:34:03,173
Speaker 7: pulled together, kept things simple. It would have been easy

611
00:34:03,173 --> 00:34:06,413
Speaker 7: to sort of look too far ahead, but to do

612
00:34:06,453 --> 00:34:08,133
Speaker 7: the job tonight's you know, really pleasing.

613
00:34:08,733 --> 00:34:11,373
Speaker 3: The final pool stage weren't coming on top of what

614
00:34:11,493 --> 00:34:15,333
Speaker 3: Divines says were supporting Australia to beat India the previous night.

615
00:34:16,533 --> 00:34:19,093
Speaker 7: I think from about the twelfth over of the Australian

616
00:34:19,133 --> 00:34:21,333
Speaker 7: bowling innings, we were clapping every single dot ball and

617
00:34:21,373 --> 00:34:24,573
Speaker 7: things like that. So look, it was another great game.

618
00:34:24,613 --> 00:34:27,453
Speaker 7: Those two sides seem to have some absolute humdingers in

619
00:34:27,533 --> 00:34:30,773
Speaker 7: terms of matches. So yeah, again thanks to oursie mates

620
00:34:30,773 --> 00:34:33,053
Speaker 7: across the ditch. Hopefully we'll be seeing them in a

621
00:34:33,133 --> 00:34:36,293
Speaker 7: final in a couple of days time. But yeah, again,

622
00:34:37,373 --> 00:34:39,613
Speaker 7: it just shows the strength of women's cricket that, you know,

623
00:34:39,653 --> 00:34:43,933
Speaker 7: a side like India has missed out. Yeah, and it

624
00:34:43,973 --> 00:34:45,613
Speaker 7: just goes to show you the strength of the woman's

625
00:34:45,613 --> 00:34:49,373
Speaker 7: game at the moment. Ah, Yeah, you're right, and it's

626
00:34:49,773 --> 00:34:51,693
Speaker 7: really important that we reflect on where we've come from.

627
00:34:51,733 --> 00:34:54,933
Speaker 7: In terms of that South Africa World Cup, we're in

628
00:34:54,933 --> 00:34:57,533
Speaker 7: an exact same situation as we are in this tournament.

629
00:34:57,573 --> 00:34:59,173
Speaker 7: We knew we'd have to win at least one of

630
00:34:59,213 --> 00:35:02,133
Speaker 7: our first two games and obviously the remaining games, and

631
00:35:02,733 --> 00:35:04,733
Speaker 7: we learn a lot about ourselves, not only from that

632
00:35:04,773 --> 00:35:08,853
Speaker 7: World Cup, but the I guess following twelve eight months.

633
00:35:08,933 --> 00:35:11,653
Speaker 7: We obviously brought in a really young squad and to

634
00:35:11,653 --> 00:35:15,613
Speaker 7: see them grow and shine like this tournament. You know,

635
00:35:15,613 --> 00:35:17,813
Speaker 7: if it's not Georgia Plimmer, it's Eding Casson. If it's

636
00:35:17,813 --> 00:35:20,333
Speaker 7: not eating it's Franjonis. But it's not Franuzzy I thought

637
00:35:20,413 --> 00:35:23,493
Speaker 7: was outstanding today. And to be able to see the

638
00:35:23,533 --> 00:35:27,173
Speaker 7: growth of those youngsters, it certainly makes me proud, sort

639
00:35:27,173 --> 00:35:29,373
Speaker 7: of a bit of a proud mum. I'm sure I'm

640
00:35:29,373 --> 00:35:30,573
Speaker 7: not the cool mum that they want me to be.

641
00:35:30,653 --> 00:35:33,773
Speaker 7: But to see the growth that they've had from Matt tournament,

642
00:35:33,813 --> 00:35:36,733
Speaker 7: it was really hard for them to be thrown into

643
00:35:36,733 --> 00:35:39,733
Speaker 7: that and expectations. But for us, you're right, probably no

644
00:35:39,773 --> 00:35:43,053
Speaker 7: one has expected us to be here, and I guess

645
00:35:43,053 --> 00:35:44,293
Speaker 7: that's a bit of a key we way though, we

646
00:35:44,333 --> 00:35:46,533
Speaker 7: sort of fly under the radar and you know, just

647
00:35:46,573 --> 00:35:49,133
Speaker 7: sort of will swift away a little bit. But to

648
00:35:49,213 --> 00:35:50,853
Speaker 7: know that when we play our best cricket, we can

649
00:35:50,893 --> 00:35:55,013
Speaker 7: win this thing. So we'll certainly, you know, enjoy tonight's

650
00:35:55,013 --> 00:35:58,053
Speaker 7: success and what we've been able to achieve, but this

651
00:35:58,173 --> 00:36:02,293
Speaker 7: is now. The next focus for us is now we're here,

652
00:36:01,773 --> 00:36:04,653
Speaker 7: we want to win the bloody thing. Yeah, and I

653
00:36:04,653 --> 00:36:06,213
Speaker 7: think you look at who's on the bench. I mean,

654
00:36:06,253 --> 00:36:08,293
Speaker 7: Molly pen Fold has been outstanding the last twelve month.

655
00:36:08,573 --> 00:36:11,093
Speaker 7: She's you know, come on and leap some bounds. And

656
00:36:11,173 --> 00:36:13,573
Speaker 7: you've still got players like Jess k hanaho Leak Asprick

657
00:36:13,613 --> 00:36:16,613
Speaker 7: you missed out tonight, And it is it's those small

658
00:36:16,653 --> 00:36:19,413
Speaker 7: way things where it's going to take time to build depth,

659
00:36:19,493 --> 00:36:21,533
Speaker 7: especially in the country as small as New Zealand. It's

660
00:36:21,533 --> 00:36:24,653
Speaker 7: not going to happen overnight. So this has been you know,

661
00:36:24,893 --> 00:36:28,053
Speaker 7: even since before the World Cup, common games, you know,

662
00:36:28,213 --> 00:36:30,453
Speaker 7: for us to continue to build, and it's going to

663
00:36:30,453 --> 00:36:32,933
Speaker 7: be a continual work on for us as given the

664
00:36:32,973 --> 00:36:35,493
Speaker 7: same level of depth because we're not India, we don't

665
00:36:35,493 --> 00:36:38,253
Speaker 7: have a billion people you know to sort of pick from.

666
00:36:38,293 --> 00:36:41,613
Speaker 7: So yeah, again it's really positive signs, but we know

667
00:36:41,693 --> 00:36:43,693
Speaker 7: that this is just part of the journey and yeah,

668
00:36:43,693 --> 00:36:45,253
Speaker 7: we're moving in the right direction, but there's still a

669
00:36:45,293 --> 00:36:45,813
Speaker 7: long way to go.

670
00:36:46,653 --> 00:36:49,133
Speaker 3: And their own victory over India in the opening game

671
00:36:49,453 --> 00:36:52,813
Speaker 3: was a key factor in their progress to the Semis.

672
00:36:53,253 --> 00:36:54,053
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was huge.

673
00:36:54,053 --> 00:36:56,093
Speaker 7: You know, it'll probably be something that we reflect back

674
00:36:56,133 --> 00:36:59,733
Speaker 7: on once this Toilman's finished, whenever that is. I think

675
00:36:59,773 --> 00:37:02,973
Speaker 7: I spoke after that match that we've been planning that

676
00:37:03,053 --> 00:37:06,293
Speaker 7: game for a long long time and to see our

677
00:37:06,333 --> 00:37:09,973
Speaker 7: plans you know, come to fruition is something that was

678
00:37:10,013 --> 00:37:12,933
Speaker 7: really pleasing and to see you know, I guess at

679
00:37:12,933 --> 00:37:14,453
Speaker 7: the time, it's always nice to win, but I guess

680
00:37:14,453 --> 00:37:17,093
Speaker 7: the way that we won as well obviously helped our

681
00:37:17,133 --> 00:37:18,853
Speaker 7: net run rate, but it also showed a lot in

682
00:37:18,893 --> 00:37:21,173
Speaker 7: terms of what our bowlers are capable of against you know,

683
00:37:21,213 --> 00:37:24,253
Speaker 7: an absolutely dangerous Indian banning lineup, but also with the

684
00:37:24,293 --> 00:37:27,933
Speaker 7: bat that we've got threats throughout our lineup. So yeah,

685
00:37:27,973 --> 00:37:29,853
Speaker 7: it certainly was. I guess gave us a bit of

686
00:37:30,013 --> 00:37:33,733
Speaker 7: a confidence boost. Everyone knows we haven't had the greatest

687
00:37:33,773 --> 00:37:36,653
Speaker 7: results over the last six to nine months, so to

688
00:37:36,693 --> 00:37:38,773
Speaker 7: be able to pull that out it has it's given

689
00:37:38,773 --> 00:37:41,093
Speaker 7: this group and even tonight's performance I think as well,

690
00:37:42,213 --> 00:37:44,973
Speaker 7: you know, Pakistan are a dangerous team as well. I

691
00:37:44,973 --> 00:37:48,413
Speaker 7: think Fatimasana is just the absolute future of the women's

692
00:37:48,453 --> 00:37:52,013
Speaker 7: game and just so much respect for her and obviously

693
00:37:52,413 --> 00:37:54,453
Speaker 7: condolences to her and her family, but for her to

694
00:37:54,493 --> 00:37:59,093
Speaker 7: come out there tonight just blows my mind really to

695
00:37:59,453 --> 00:38:01,853
Speaker 7: show you know, her strength and stuff like that, so

696
00:38:02,493 --> 00:38:04,613
Speaker 7: players like her going around. I think the woman's game

697
00:38:04,653 --> 00:38:05,933
Speaker 7: is going to be in pretty good hands.

698
00:38:07,093 --> 00:38:10,053
Speaker 3: And finally this week domestic cricket starts this weekend the

699
00:38:10,093 --> 00:38:14,693
Speaker 3: Ford Trophy. Central Districts playing Auckland Wellington a home against

700
00:38:14,733 --> 00:38:19,013
Speaker 3: the Canterbury and Northern Districts have a home game against Otago.

701
00:38:19,693 --> 00:38:20,413
Speaker 2: Brings to an end.

702
00:38:20,773 --> 00:38:24,213
Speaker 3: Another edition of On the Front Foot will be able

703
00:38:24,253 --> 00:38:28,493
Speaker 3: to have a look and review the Test match this

704
00:38:28,613 --> 00:38:32,533
Speaker 3: time next week. Hopefully they've taken note of some of

705
00:38:32,573 --> 00:38:39,013
Speaker 3: the things we've offered by way of assistance and all

706
00:38:39,053 --> 00:38:39,453
Speaker 3: the help.

707
00:38:39,613 --> 00:38:44,453
Speaker 2: We know that's not true, no.

708
00:38:44,413 --> 00:38:47,013
Speaker 3: But you know is that our teams never have to

709
00:38:47,013 --> 00:38:47,573
Speaker 3: go on the path.

710
00:38:48,413 --> 00:38:52,253
Speaker 2: Yep, no worries. Good on your odds all right now,

711
