1 00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,547 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine 2 00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:11,947 Speaker 1: from News talks 'B. 3 00:00:12,787 --> 00:00:15,347 Speaker 2: News Talks ABN Weekend Sport eleven away from one. Let's 4 00:00:15,347 --> 00:00:17,867 Speaker 2: get you to bay Ovall, where we're approaching lunch on 5 00:00:17,907 --> 00:00:20,147 Speaker 2: the third day of the third Test between the black 6 00:00:20,147 --> 00:00:22,187 Speaker 2: Caps in the West Indies. The Western is resuming one 7 00:00:22,267 --> 00:00:25,987 Speaker 2: hundred and ten without loss. They've just gone to one 8 00:00:26,027 --> 00:00:29,827 Speaker 2: hundred and ninety five for two. Andrew Ordison can update it, sir, 9 00:00:30,027 --> 00:00:31,467 Speaker 2: who's won this first session? 10 00:00:31,707 --> 00:00:35,587 Speaker 3: Orders greeting's pinety. Look, I think it's fearly even I 11 00:00:35,627 --> 00:00:37,787 Speaker 3: mean New Zealand. We've pleased to get those two wickets, 12 00:00:38,027 --> 00:00:40,387 Speaker 3: Jacob Duffy getting both of them with John Campbell caught 13 00:00:40,387 --> 00:00:42,947 Speaker 3: it by Tom Lake and the second slip for forty 14 00:00:42,987 --> 00:00:46,627 Speaker 3: five and Brandon King making sixty three before his bowl 15 00:00:46,667 --> 00:00:50,427 Speaker 3: by Duffy. Spit on at both ends now but no 16 00:00:50,627 --> 00:00:53,867 Speaker 3: further wickets I think, probably in the West Indies favor. 17 00:00:53,907 --> 00:00:56,627 Speaker 3: And it looks good to bat on this wicket at 18 00:00:56,627 --> 00:00:59,187 Speaker 3: the present time, as you'd expect from a third day pitch, 19 00:00:59,947 --> 00:01:04,747 Speaker 3: and also the footmarks not particularly impressive so far from 20 00:01:04,747 --> 00:01:08,627 Speaker 3: a New Zealand perspective, probably more a Cinderella type footmark 21 00:01:08,707 --> 00:01:11,107 Speaker 3: rather than is aa sasquatch if you want to make 22 00:01:11,147 --> 00:01:14,467 Speaker 3: some comparisons there piney. But they'll be looking to build 23 00:01:14,507 --> 00:01:16,587 Speaker 3: on those and one of those factors is actually having 24 00:01:17,907 --> 00:01:20,467 Speaker 3: Zach folks coming around the wicket at the city end 25 00:01:20,467 --> 00:01:22,827 Speaker 3: to try and build that up. But we'll wait and 26 00:01:22,867 --> 00:01:24,947 Speaker 3: see if that progresses over the course of the day 27 00:01:25,027 --> 00:01:25,947 Speaker 3: and onward beyond that. 28 00:01:26,787 --> 00:01:29,227 Speaker 2: Ajaz Battel is in the side of course, looking for 29 00:01:29,267 --> 00:01:32,747 Speaker 2: that a looser first Test wicket on home soil, eighty 30 00:01:32,827 --> 00:01:36,187 Speaker 2: five of them offshore, none on home soil. Yet how 31 00:01:36,187 --> 00:01:38,267 Speaker 2: big a part has he played this morning? How big 32 00:01:38,267 --> 00:01:40,627 Speaker 2: a role mighty play in this Test match for New Zealand. 33 00:01:41,387 --> 00:01:44,707 Speaker 3: I think the answer there is very little for today. 34 00:01:45,227 --> 00:01:49,187 Speaker 3: Hasn't looked really effective so far, but I think across 35 00:01:49,187 --> 00:01:51,907 Speaker 3: the course of the Test match, yes, he will go 36 00:01:51,987 --> 00:01:54,387 Speaker 3: on to really make his mark. I mean he's a 37 00:01:54,427 --> 00:01:56,827 Speaker 3: tidy bowls. We see him and from the city end 38 00:01:56,907 --> 00:02:00,267 Speaker 3: now and I look at his record at this ground. 39 00:02:00,307 --> 00:02:02,907 Speaker 3: I think he's taken twenty four wickets in six matches. 40 00:02:02,907 --> 00:02:05,347 Speaker 3: He's averaging twenty four point nine to one, so he 41 00:02:05,427 --> 00:02:08,427 Speaker 3: knows how to do it. As games go on at 42 00:02:08,667 --> 00:02:11,307 Speaker 3: Bayo will Jacob Duffy another who's impressive at this venue 43 00:02:11,547 --> 00:02:14,507 Speaker 3: twenty three weeks at seventeen point eight from five matches, 44 00:02:14,987 --> 00:02:16,667 Speaker 3: so they do know how to do it to these 45 00:02:16,747 --> 00:02:19,707 Speaker 3: New Zealand bowlers at the venue. So we'll see how 46 00:02:19,747 --> 00:02:20,467 Speaker 3: that progresses. 47 00:02:20,987 --> 00:02:23,667 Speaker 2: So New Zealand declared yesterday five seventy five for eight. 48 00:02:23,787 --> 00:02:26,907 Speaker 2: I guess when they declared their idea was we only 49 00:02:26,987 --> 00:02:29,467 Speaker 2: bat once in this Test match. So if the Western 50 00:02:29,507 --> 00:02:31,747 Speaker 2: News can get through to three hundred and seventy six, 51 00:02:32,107 --> 00:02:34,427 Speaker 2: they'll avoid that. Follow on if they were to get 52 00:02:34,427 --> 00:02:36,827 Speaker 2: to three seven six, Is there a result possible in 53 00:02:36,867 --> 00:02:37,507 Speaker 2: this Test match? 54 00:02:38,587 --> 00:02:41,627 Speaker 3: I think there is as the pitch deteriorates further. But 55 00:02:42,067 --> 00:02:44,387 Speaker 3: at this stage the Western is looking well, I think 56 00:02:44,787 --> 00:02:47,147 Speaker 3: as comfortable as we've seen them since Christ Here at 57 00:02:47,227 --> 00:02:51,147 Speaker 3: least they've still got the batting lineup they've got. They 58 00:02:51,227 --> 00:02:53,787 Speaker 3: haven't got Shay Hope yet, mom, he's got some sort 59 00:02:53,827 --> 00:02:57,067 Speaker 3: of undefined or uncalled illness at the moment. He was 60 00:02:57,067 --> 00:02:59,987 Speaker 3: off the field yesterday, so he can only come in 61 00:03:00,027 --> 00:03:03,067 Speaker 3: at seven all below. But we have seen this beanning 62 00:03:03,107 --> 00:03:06,107 Speaker 3: lineup but deliver on occasion and in Hope there's a 63 00:03:06,147 --> 00:03:08,987 Speaker 3: key part of that, but at this point with Hodge 64 00:03:09,027 --> 00:03:11,587 Speaker 3: the on forty seven, in Mark who's moved up from 65 00:03:11,627 --> 00:03:14,907 Speaker 3: number seven into the number four spot on twenty five 66 00:03:15,547 --> 00:03:18,307 Speaker 3: looking relatively coulptable, and we know what Justin Graves can 67 00:03:18,347 --> 00:03:22,707 Speaker 3: produce with that double century in christ Church emmy stage 68 00:03:22,867 --> 00:03:25,187 Speaker 3: in a Test match. And yeah, speaking of this thing 69 00:03:25,307 --> 00:03:27,987 Speaker 3: raises in the press conference, I think there's a degree 70 00:03:27,987 --> 00:03:29,547 Speaker 3: of confidence in the West Indies. 71 00:03:29,387 --> 00:03:33,427 Speaker 2: Lineup indeed, and they're batting in that fashion. Thanks orders, 72 00:03:33,547 --> 00:03:36,027 Speaker 2: enjoy the remainder of the session, a bit of lunch 73 00:03:36,067 --> 00:03:37,507 Speaker 2: and we'll catch you in the middle session of that 74 00:03:37,547 --> 00:03:41,467 Speaker 2: suits your you're very busy schedule at the bay. 75 00:03:41,187 --> 00:03:43,387 Speaker 3: Looking forward to actually pinty. Just one other highlight was 76 00:03:43,587 --> 00:03:46,707 Speaker 3: the Grinch came and swept the pitch here, so getting 77 00:03:46,707 --> 00:03:48,947 Speaker 3: into the Christmas spirits, you might say, I did think 78 00:03:48,987 --> 00:03:51,387 Speaker 3: that was a nice touch from the bay Able staff, 79 00:03:52,187 --> 00:03:54,667 Speaker 3: but gave it a jolly good sweep. And know that 80 00:03:54,787 --> 00:03:58,827 Speaker 3: salty air coming across the mountain here very seasonal. 81 00:03:58,867 --> 00:04:01,067 Speaker 2: Go on your orders, thanks mate.
