How fond 79 00:04:18,387 --> 00:04:20,587 Speaker 2: of your memories even twenty five years on. 80 00:04:21,667 --> 00:04:24,467 Speaker 6: I don't know where the Embellishment's are grown, but certainly 81 00:04:24,547 --> 00:04:28,467 Speaker 6: the fondness of the memory of that trip was certainly 82 00:04:28,947 --> 00:04:31,347 Speaker 6: amplified over the last two days and it was just 83 00:04:31,867 --> 00:04:34,347 Speaker 6: the best time I knew it would be. But getting 84 00:04:34,387 --> 00:04:38,027 Speaker 6: together with all the group again and sharing stories, I 85 00:04:38,027 --> 00:04:39,587 Speaker 6: don't think we could get enough of each other to 86 00:04:39,587 --> 00:04:43,107 Speaker 6: be fair, and we've just had two absolutely stunning days. 87 00:04:43,147 --> 00:04:47,907 Speaker 6: So I'm heading back to Sydney today, but I've enjoyed 88 00:04:47,907 --> 00:04:51,267 Speaker 6: every moment of being over here and it's reunited all 89 00:04:51,307 --> 00:04:54,187 Speaker 6: those great thoughts and some of the stories that came out. 90 00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:56,427 Speaker 6: It was just obviously stunning. 91 00:04:56,507 --> 00:04:59,027 Speaker 2: Yeah, they never get old, do those stories? Even twenty 92 00:04:59,067 --> 00:05:02,507 Speaker 2: five years on? Was it particularly special to win a 93 00:05:02,547 --> 00:05:04,067 Speaker 2: Test match at Lord's on that tour. 94 00:05:06,907 --> 00:05:08,867 Speaker 6: I've been an associated with a lot of criticides and 95 00:05:08,907 --> 00:05:11,947 Speaker 6: we've always won it Lord's, so to me personally, not 96 00:05:12,027 --> 00:05:15,227 Speaker 6: so much. But I guess I guess the real big 97 00:05:15,387 --> 00:05:18,387 Speaker 6: key to that Lord's Test for me was having been 98 00:05:18,427 --> 00:05:22,147 Speaker 6: beaten in the first Test, which I found extraordinarily hard 99 00:05:22,467 --> 00:05:25,947 Speaker 6: to accept because we've prepared well, We played so well 100 00:05:26,027 --> 00:05:29,347 Speaker 6: during that Test and Alex Tudor and Graham Thorpe put 101 00:05:29,387 --> 00:05:31,507 Speaker 6: on a big partnership to actually get them over the line, 102 00:05:31,507 --> 00:05:33,707 Speaker 6: but they'd only won about two sessions. The whole game, 103 00:05:34,147 --> 00:05:38,107 Speaker 6: We've been dominating. But the ride back to London on 104 00:05:38,187 --> 00:05:40,667 Speaker 6: the M one was a bit sour for me, and 105 00:05:40,707 --> 00:05:42,227 Speaker 6: I just couldn't think of what I was going to 106 00:05:42,227 --> 00:05:44,827 Speaker 6: try to do. So over the period of the trip 107 00:05:44,827 --> 00:05:48,107 Speaker 6: I said to everyone, like, bags down, we need to 108 00:05:48,107 --> 00:05:51,147 Speaker 6: get upstairs and have a talk. And so we went 109 00:05:51,227 --> 00:05:53,147 Speaker 6: upstairs had a talk and I said this, I've got 110 00:05:53,187 --> 00:05:56,027 Speaker 6: one question for that I need an answer every one 111 00:05:56,027 --> 00:05:58,747 Speaker 6: of you for And he said, well, in the first bloke, 112 00:05:58,747 --> 00:06:00,587 Speaker 6: I said, what's the question stuff? And I said, well, 113 00:06:00,667 --> 00:06:02,587 Speaker 6: I just want to know what each of you guys 114 00:06:02,987 --> 00:06:04,707 Speaker 6: are going to do to make the difference in the 115 00:06:04,747 --> 00:06:07,707 Speaker 6: second test. Just tell me one. And you know I 116 00:06:07,747 --> 00:06:10,387 Speaker 6: heard the Bland answer, a Bland answer, and Bland answer, 117 00:06:10,387 --> 00:06:12,987 Speaker 6: and then on the fourth the fourth answer came from 118 00:06:13,027 --> 00:06:14,827 Speaker 6: Chris Cans and he leapt up out of his chair 119 00:06:15,427 --> 00:06:16,787 Speaker 6: and he said, I'll tell you what I'm going to 120 00:06:16,787 --> 00:06:18,987 Speaker 6: be doing. My name will be on that board in 121 00:06:18,987 --> 00:06:21,787 Speaker 6: the visitors room. I can't tell you right now that 122 00:06:21,307 --> 00:06:24,587 Speaker 6: I've scored one hundred or five, I've taken five wickets, 123 00:06:24,787 --> 00:06:27,467 Speaker 6: but I will be on that board, mark my words, 124 00:06:27,547 --> 00:06:29,587 Speaker 6: and like I could fill the hairs on my neck, 125 00:06:29,707 --> 00:06:32,787 Speaker 6: just move immediately, And that exactly, that little spark was 126 00:06:32,787 --> 00:06:34,867 Speaker 6: the I don't even know what the rest said to 127 00:06:34,867 --> 00:06:36,987 Speaker 6: be fair, because that was all I was looking for, 128 00:06:37,027 --> 00:06:39,827 Speaker 6: that little spark, and that started the whole return, and 129 00:06:39,867 --> 00:06:42,787 Speaker 6: we never looked back from the from the the win 130 00:06:42,867 --> 00:06:45,827 Speaker 6: at Lord Throw to going up North and getting washed 131 00:06:45,867 --> 00:06:48,507 Speaker 6: out up there and having having dominated that game, and 132 00:06:48,547 --> 00:06:51,867 Speaker 6: then of course singing we are the champions in Lord's 133 00:06:51,907 --> 00:06:55,147 Speaker 6: dressing rooms with those very thin walls, hearing the English 134 00:06:55,187 --> 00:06:58,627 Speaker 6: cringing next door, and I don't think I've actually recovered. 135 00:06:59,587 --> 00:07:00,147 Speaker 3: I love it. 136 00:07:00,387 --> 00:07:02,947 Speaker 2: Well, Chris Keens did exactly as he said, six for 137 00:07:03,027 --> 00:07:05,467 Speaker 2: seventy seven.

I said to Nash and Jeff Elliot, 174 00:08:47,747 --> 00:08:49,627 Speaker 6: I said, you boys, sit in the background. I've had 175 00:08:49,627 --> 00:08:51,867 Speaker 6: a little little bloke on my shoulder for three years. 176 00:08:51,867 --> 00:08:54,267 Speaker 6: I'm just about to get him off. And he said, 177 00:08:54,307 --> 00:08:56,427 Speaker 6: you'd start up to say a word that They just 178 00:08:56,467 --> 00:08:58,387 Speaker 6: sat back. I think they were horrified. I was going 179 00:08:58,387 --> 00:09:00,947 Speaker 6: to come out of my mouth. But anyway, I got 180 00:09:00,987 --> 00:09:04,147 Speaker 6: up and I never forgot or missed anybody that should 181 00:09:04,147 --> 00:09:06,747 Speaker 6: have been should have been tagged at the top. And 182 00:09:07,507 --> 00:09:10,947 Speaker 6: I have a thousand people in this marquets all stood 183 00:09:11,147 --> 00:09:13,387 Speaker 6: to the standing ovation at the end of it, and 184 00:09:13,467 --> 00:09:16,187 Speaker 6: I said, now, that's the reason we play this game, 185 00:09:16,267 --> 00:09:19,107 Speaker 6: that's the reason I coach, that's the reason these players 186 00:09:19,107 --> 00:09:21,227 Speaker 6: have played the game, and that's the reward you should 187 00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:23,987 Speaker 6: be getting as your national cricket term. And that it 188 00:09:24,067 --> 00:09:26,827 Speaker 6: was one of the absolute fondness memories. And I shared 189 00:09:26,867 --> 00:09:28,347 Speaker 6: that with the boys the other day and they said, 190 00:09:28,347 --> 00:09:30,707 Speaker 6: we remember it so well because they were up in 191 00:09:30,747 --> 00:09:35,387 Speaker 6: Wellington playing playing a game. So yeah, one wonderful, wonderful memories. 192 00:09:35,387 --> 00:09:37,547 Speaker 6: And these just keep on going on, you know, the stories, 193 00:09:37,667 --> 00:09:41,507 Speaker 6: stories throughout this day, and one story led to another, 194 00:09:41,547 --> 00:09:44,347 Speaker 6: and you know, seven or eight hours later, just sitting 195 00:09:44,387 --> 00:09:46,747 Speaker 6: at the same chair, we kept going. 196 00:09:48,547 --> 00:09:52,467 Speaker 2: One of the real features of New Zealand under your watch, Steve, 197 00:09:52,787 --> 00:09:56,227 Speaker 2: was the fielding. It became a benchmark of the side 198 00:09:56,387 --> 00:09:59,067 Speaker 2: under your guidance. How did you make that happen? 199 00:10:00,827 --> 00:10:03,827 Speaker 6: Very simply one of my very very early statements to them, 200 00:10:03,867 --> 00:10:07,307 Speaker 6: I said, I don't know how if we can be 201 00:10:07,347 --> 00:10:09,747 Speaker 6: the best batting side in the world. I don't know 202 00:10:09,947 --> 00:10:12,027 Speaker 6: how or if we can be the best bowling side 203 00:10:12,027 --> 00:10:14,427 Speaker 6: in the world. But I can't see one reason we 204 00:10:14,467 --> 00:10:16,747 Speaker 6: can't be the best fielding side in the world. That's 205 00:10:16,747 --> 00:10:19,027 Speaker 6: going to make the bowler's job so much easier. Instead 206 00:10:19,027 --> 00:10:21,627 Speaker 6: of trying to get fifteen wickets, we're getting eleven out 207 00:10:21,747 --> 00:10:24,787 Speaker 6: or sorry, ten out, and that's going to make the 208 00:10:24,787 --> 00:10:27,587 Speaker 6: whole process work well. And all the boys spoke about 209 00:10:27,587 --> 00:10:29,667 Speaker 6: this yesterday as well. All the hard work we put 210 00:10:29,707 --> 00:10:32,507 Speaker 6: in and he said, I remember Macca said to me, 211 00:10:32,547 --> 00:10:35,427 Speaker 6: he said, I remember walking off gone, my god. If 212 00:10:35,467 --> 00:10:37,547 Speaker 6: this is how we have our fielding and rich things 213 00:10:37,547 --> 00:10:39,307 Speaker 6: are going to be. We've got a lot of work 214 00:10:39,307 --> 00:10:42,627 Speaker 6: to do and that's going to be hard. But as 215 00:10:42,667 --> 00:10:45,747 Speaker 6: they improved and as they went along, we had one 216 00:10:45,787 --> 00:10:48,747 Speaker 6: of one of the best catching catching groups that I 217 00:10:48,787 --> 00:10:52,067 Speaker 6: think I've ever seen in world cricket. With the Baroli 218 00:10:52,147 --> 00:10:54,267 Speaker 6: on the stumps, who was creeping well, you had the 219 00:10:54,347 --> 00:10:58,627 Speaker 6: fleming astill young and it was like the Tory as well. 220 00:10:58,787 --> 00:11:01,787 Speaker 6: In the gully. Macca ran the same place. But it 221 00:11:01,947 --> 00:11:04,107 Speaker 6: was just we didn't drop too many catches in the 222 00:11:04,147 --> 00:11:06,507 Speaker 6: cortin at all, and that makes such difference to the 223 00:11:06,547 --> 00:11:11,427 Speaker 6: duels of Nashes, the Tansas, et cetera of the world. 224 00:11:11,467 --> 00:11:14,187 Speaker 6: And it was just wonderful. So we did put a 225 00:11:14,227 --> 00:11:16,027 Speaker 6: lot of emphasis on on it. Not that we we 226 00:11:17,027 --> 00:11:19,347 Speaker 6: missed out on the other areas, but we thought that's 227 00:11:19,387 --> 00:11:23,107 Speaker 6: where we can absolutely shine, and we did. We were 228 00:11:23,147 --> 00:11:24,907 Speaker 6: the best fielding side in the world for quite quite 229 00:11:24,907 --> 00:11:27,627 Speaker 6: a period of time. But I've noted over the years 230 00:11:27,627 --> 00:11:29,827 Speaker 6: that they've been very, very good. They had a blemish 231 00:11:29,827 --> 00:11:33,187 Speaker 6: the other day and they but those things will happen occasionally. 232 00:11:33,187 --> 00:11:35,027 Speaker 6: I hope they don't happen more than more than once, 233 00:11:35,187 --> 00:11:38,467 Speaker 6: but yeah, they you are allowed to have a bad day. 234 00:11:38,507 --> 00:11:41,787 Speaker 6: And I just think generally speaking, their fielding hasn't been 235 00:11:42,027 --> 00:11:43,787 Speaker 6: too bad in the last four or five years, and 236 00:11:44,587 --> 00:11:47,587 Speaker 6: and they've really put some emphats on doing a lot 237 00:11:47,587 --> 00:11:48,907 Speaker 6: of what we did in the early days. 238 00:11:49,307 --> 00:11:51,067 Speaker 2: It's obviously not gone quite so well for the current 239 00:11:51,107 --> 00:11:53,947 Speaker 2: side against England. Or what have you made of this 240 00:11:54,067 --> 00:11:56,787 Speaker 2: current series and England's domination of them? 241 00:11:59,187 --> 00:12:01,827 Speaker 6: Yeah, looking looking at it, and I have seen quite 242 00:12:01,827 --> 00:12:03,467 Speaker 6: a bit of a series. I watched all the first 243 00:12:03,467 --> 00:12:06,547 Speaker 6: Test and a little bit of this Test so far. 244 00:12:06,667 --> 00:12:10,347 Speaker 6: But they have been they have been outplayed. They've been 245 00:12:10,387 --> 00:12:13,187 Speaker 6: given the opportunity of staying in the game England with 246 00:12:13,267 --> 00:12:15,627 Speaker 6: the drop catches in the first Test. That would have 247 00:12:15,667 --> 00:12:18,787 Speaker 6: if you've had, of course books, I think that could 248 00:12:18,787 --> 00:12:20,827 Speaker 6: have been a completely different Test. But this Test we've 249 00:12:20,827 --> 00:12:24,867 Speaker 6: been completely outplayed so far and we'll just have to 250 00:12:24,907 --> 00:12:28,827 Speaker 6: wait to see how the pans out from here. But yeah, look, 251 00:12:28,907 --> 00:12:31,467 Speaker 6: I mean one side are very well born side. They 252 00:12:31,467 --> 00:12:33,667 Speaker 6: are playing a brand of cricket that if they get 253 00:12:33,747 --> 00:12:36,107 Speaker 6: on top, they're going to hurt you, because the currency 254 00:12:36,307 --> 00:12:39,187 Speaker 6: in cricket is scoring runs and they do know how 255 00:12:39,227 --> 00:12:40,827 Speaker 6: to do that. They will fall on their face on 256 00:12:40,867 --> 00:12:43,587 Speaker 6: occasions with the and I hate using the word, but 257 00:12:43,627 --> 00:12:47,947 Speaker 6: the baseball approach they they have, but they are going 258 00:12:48,027 --> 00:12:50,467 Speaker 6: to stick with that. And as we saw even either 259 00:12:50,507 --> 00:12:54,387 Speaker 6: this morning with Route getting one hundred and and Stokes 260 00:12:54,387 --> 00:12:56,947 Speaker 6: doing what he did, they just accelerate the scoreboard to 261 00:12:57,627 --> 00:13:00,747 Speaker 6: actually get themselves further in front and probably out of 262 00:13:00,747 --> 00:13:03,467 Speaker 6: the reach of the kuge win. So yeah, they're probably 263 00:13:03,467 --> 00:13:05,547 Speaker 6: a little bit better at the moment. And I would 264 00:13:05,627 --> 00:13:07,427 Speaker 6: like to see the two young kids take the new ball, 265 00:13:07,467 --> 00:13:09,707 Speaker 6: but that's something I haven't quite got my head around. 266 00:13:10,227 --> 00:13:13,547 Speaker 6: I'm seeing guys biling up one forty and you know, 267 00:13:13,627 --> 00:13:17,227 Speaker 6: South he's been a wonderful, wonderful player for your country. 268 00:13:17,267 --> 00:13:21,027 Speaker 6: But when the oppositions start charging it, you know from 269 00:13:21,027 --> 00:13:23,947 Speaker 6: first ball, well, I'm guessing that probably the one twenty 270 00:13:23,947 --> 00:13:26,067 Speaker 6: five to one twenty eight is and isn't going to 271 00:13:26,107 --> 00:13:28,307 Speaker 6: cut it in the modern day game the way they're playing. 272 00:13:28,347 --> 00:13:30,107 Speaker 6: So I'd like to see the two young kids at 273 00:13:30,107 --> 00:13:32,947 Speaker 6: one hundred and forty come filing in and really hitting 274 00:13:32,947 --> 00:13:35,387 Speaker 6: the wicket and getting jump and jumping about a bit, 275 00:13:35,427 --> 00:13:37,707 Speaker 6: but that's only one little thing. And I would have 276 00:13:37,707 --> 00:13:39,947 Speaker 6: actually taken a spinner in this particular test as well. 277 00:13:39,947 --> 00:13:42,427 Speaker 6: I don't think the idea of four quicks is is 278 00:13:42,427 --> 00:13:45,827 Speaker 6: probably the answer, but everyone's got an opinion. And yeah, 279 00:13:45,907 --> 00:13:47,467 Speaker 6: you asked the question, I just gave your mind. 280 00:13:47,547 --> 00:13:49,067 Speaker 2: No, it's good now. I think you've been reading the 281 00:13:49,107 --> 00:13:51,627 Speaker 2: notes of many of our audience as well. Steve, just On, 282 00:13:52,067 --> 00:13:54,507 Speaker 2: just on to just on Tom Blundell. He's come under 283 00:13:54,507 --> 00:13:56,587 Speaker 2: pressure for his lean trot with the bat, but what 284 00:13:56,627 --> 00:13:59,507 Speaker 2: have you made of Tom Blundle's wicket keeping and Red 285 00:13:59,507 --> 00:14:00,107 Speaker 2: Bull cricket. 286 00:14:01,427 --> 00:14:03,827 Speaker 6: Yeah, I've seen a bit of Tom and over the 287 00:14:03,907 --> 00:14:06,787 Speaker 6: years I've been quite impressed. It's probably dropped to pace 288 00:14:06,867 --> 00:14:09,547 Speaker 6: a little bit at the moment, and he did take 289 00:14:09,747 --> 00:14:13,267 Speaker 6: cash this morning to remove route, so I can't take 290 00:14:13,307 --> 00:14:15,387 Speaker 6: too much away from that. But yeah, Tom, Tom will 291 00:14:15,427 --> 00:14:18,507 Speaker 6: be right. He should chose the soldier and you you 292 00:14:18,547 --> 00:14:20,067 Speaker 6: got to stick with him. You can't just pop them 293 00:14:20,107 --> 00:14:21,707 Speaker 6: in and out. And just because they haven't scored a 294 00:14:21,707 --> 00:14:24,027 Speaker 6: few runs, he will. He's a very very good vat 295 00:14:24,107 --> 00:14:26,187 Speaker 6: and they're damaging back. He's the sort of player that's 296 00:14:26,387 --> 00:14:28,907 Speaker 6: going to change the direction of the game. So you've 297 00:14:28,947 --> 00:14:30,547 Speaker 6: just got to stick with Tom for a minute. And 298 00:14:30,987 --> 00:14:33,027 Speaker 6: I don't know who else is around the place, but 299 00:14:33,547 --> 00:14:35,547 Speaker 6: what I do know is he's good enough to hold 300 00:14:35,547 --> 00:14:37,227 Speaker 6: his spot and should be given that. 301 00:14:37,267 --> 00:14:40,067 Speaker 2: Right, all right, just to finish Steve new zelland have 302 00:14:40,107 --> 00:14:43,067 Speaker 2: just lost the second wicket thirty for two, chasing five 303 00:14:43,107 --> 00:14:46,267 Speaker 2: eighty three. So look, it's a massive mountain to climb. 304 00:14:46,267 --> 00:14:49,827 Speaker 2: If you were in that dressing room addressing the players 305 00:14:49,867 --> 00:14:51,747 Speaker 2: who still have to bat over the next hopefully too 306 00:14:51,787 --> 00:14:55,867 Speaker 2: in a but days, what would your messages be, Oh, basically. 307 00:14:55,507 --> 00:14:58,067 Speaker 6: Just to formulate, formulate and do some partnership. Just get 308 00:14:58,067 --> 00:15:01,627 Speaker 6: one partnership going. Once you've got one partnership, you're taking 309 00:15:01,627 --> 00:15:04,587 Speaker 6: the quicks down. You're slowly, slowly changing the pattern bat 310 00:15:04,587 --> 00:15:06,987 Speaker 6: to where you needed to be, and that makes life 311 00:15:07,067 --> 00:15:09,307 Speaker 6: so much asier for everyone else. But when you're losing 312 00:15:09,307 --> 00:15:12,107 Speaker 6: two and three out front, it makes it like extremely difficult. 313 00:15:12,147 --> 00:15:14,707 Speaker 6: You need to be you need to be still positive. 314 00:15:14,787 --> 00:15:17,147 Speaker 6: But at the same time, just once you've got a 315 00:15:17,187 --> 00:15:20,307 Speaker 6: partnership of twenty forty sixty, turn that into one hundred 316 00:15:20,307 --> 00:15:21,787 Speaker 6: and fifty and then all of a sudden, the game 317 00:15:21,867 --> 00:15:23,667 Speaker 6: the look of the game, the feel of the game. 318 00:15:24,107 --> 00:15:26,347 Speaker 6: The opposition all look a little bit jaded, and the 319 00:15:26,387 --> 00:15:29,547 Speaker 6: game the game looks once they roachable. I've got five 320 00:15:29,667 --> 00:15:32,107 Speaker 6: five seventy five eighty. Whatever they're chasing is, it's not 321 00:15:32,507 --> 00:15:35,347 Speaker 6: really going to happen. But you do need pride and 322 00:15:35,387 --> 00:15:38,307 Speaker 6: you do need some confidence going into the next test. 323 00:15:38,387 --> 00:15:40,467 Speaker 6: So whatever you take out of this is going to 324 00:15:40,587 --> 00:15:43,307 Speaker 6: transfer into the next test. And I use the example 325 00:15:43,307 --> 00:15:46,267 Speaker 6: the other day with Lavashane has been so sadly out 326 00:15:46,307 --> 00:15:48,907 Speaker 6: a form over in Australia, and I just said, well, 327 00:15:49,067 --> 00:15:52,347 Speaker 6: in that situation, don't give him ten more net sessions. 328 00:15:52,787 --> 00:15:55,907 Speaker 6: Give him one one innings against the Prime Minister's game 329 00:15:56,107 --> 00:15:57,947 Speaker 6: to get it right. I don't care who you drop 330 00:15:57,947 --> 00:15:59,467 Speaker 6: out of the side. This is about getting your best 331 00:15:59,507 --> 00:16:02,667 Speaker 6: national side prepared and he should have gone gone back 332 00:16:02,667 --> 00:16:05,347 Speaker 6: and done that, so fair play.

She's just 341 00:16:26,227 --> 00:16:29,627 Speaker 2: refreshing listen to listening to him talk. Isn't it still 342 00:16:29,627 --> 00:16:32,027 Speaker 2: the energy that's there he hasn't you know? He left 343 00:16:32,027 --> 00:16:35,107 Speaker 2: this team in two thousand. It's been over twenty five 344 00:16:35,187 --> 00:16:38,667 Speaker 2: years since he was the coach and he's still calling 345 00:16:38,907 --> 00:16:42,427 Speaker 2: us us. I love that, But just the energy and 346 00:16:42,467 --> 00:16:48,147 Speaker 2: the passion and just I don't know, and this the 347 00:16:48,147 --> 00:16:50,627 Speaker 2: invigoration that I got. You can imagine Steve Rixson at 348 00:16:50,627 --> 00:16:52,787 Speaker 2: the helm of a team, right, You can imagine that 349 00:16:52,787 --> 00:16:55,147 Speaker 2: that conversation that he had with that team after they 350 00:16:55,147 --> 00:16:59,867 Speaker 2: lost the first Test in nineteen ninety nine. You can 351 00:16:59,907 --> 00:17:06,947 Speaker 2: imagine his enthusiasm permeating throughout the team. You've heard, Steve Rickson, 352 00:17:06,947 --> 00:17:09,627 Speaker 2: You've been listening in and watching what's going on at 353 00:17:09,667 --> 00:17:12,347 Speaker 2: the base and time for your views now eight hundred 354 00:17:12,467 --> 00:17:15,507 Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty is our number. And as I've just 355 00:17:15,707 --> 00:17:19,667 Speaker 2: alluded to, there has been another wicket unfortunately at the 356 00:17:19,707 --> 00:17:22,787 Speaker 2: base in reserve US. All of works is over. Yeah, 357 00:17:22,787 --> 00:17:23,707 Speaker 2: this one's. 358 00:17:26,307 --> 00:17:28,507 Speaker 8: That's the end of Kane Williamson. 359 00:17:28,227 --> 00:17:31,947 Speaker 2: So Kane Williamson out for four, Devin Conway earlier out 360 00:17:32,027 --> 00:17:35,707 Speaker 2: without scoring. New Zealander thirty two for two with Tom 361 00:17:35,787 --> 00:17:39,627 Speaker 2: Latham and rich and Ravendra together at the wicket, Tom 362 00:17:39,707 --> 00:17:41,907 Speaker 2: Latham's done the majority of the scoring. He's on twenty 363 00:17:41,947 --> 00:17:45,027 Speaker 2: four not out. Rutch and Revender has yet to score, 364 00:17:45,067 --> 00:17:48,467 Speaker 2: has only faced the one delivery. As I say, you've 365 00:17:48,467 --> 00:17:52,227 Speaker 2: been watching, listening, taking it all in time for your views. 366 00:17:52,427 --> 00:17:57,067 Speaker 2: Eight hundred eighty ten eighty Yesterday was a very deflating 367 00:17:57,147 --> 00:17:59,987 Speaker 2: day for New Zealand cricket fans, wasn't it. Losing five 368 00:18:00,027 --> 00:18:03,147 Speaker 2: wickets for thirty nine to be all out one two 369 00:18:03,307 --> 00:18:07,307 Speaker 2: five and then being absolutely flayed for three hundred and 370 00:18:07,307 --> 00:18:09,867 Speaker 2: seventy eight runs while only taking five wickets. The Test 371 00:18:09,947 --> 00:18:13,827 Speaker 2: was taken away from us yesterday. The absolute best we 372 00:18:13,867 --> 00:18:16,507 Speaker 2: can hope for now is an honorable drawer, and there 373 00:18:16,587 --> 00:18:18,547 Speaker 2: is a lot of cricket to be played before we 374 00:18:18,587 --> 00:18:21,387 Speaker 2: can do that. We're not even at the half way 375 00:18:21,467 --> 00:18:25,347 Speaker 2: stage time wise in this Test match yet. This is 376 00:18:25,387 --> 00:18:27,587 Speaker 2: only day three and we're not even at lunch yet. 377 00:18:29,827 --> 00:18:32,067 Speaker 2: There's a bit of rain forecast this afternoon, but none 378 00:18:32,107 --> 00:18:34,947 Speaker 2: tomorrow or on Tuesday, So the weather isn't going to 379 00:18:34,947 --> 00:18:36,827 Speaker 2: be much of a help to us. Somebody has to 380 00:18:36,867 --> 00:18:40,267 Speaker 2: go big and more importantly dig in and bat for 381 00:18:40,387 --> 00:18:44,587 Speaker 2: hours and hours and hours. It's just another indicasion, as 382 00:18:44,587 --> 00:18:48,187 Speaker 2: I say, of how under Brendan McCullum, England have changed 383 00:18:48,187 --> 00:18:50,587 Speaker 2: the way Test cricket is played, to be at this 384 00:18:50,707 --> 00:18:54,147 Speaker 2: point of the Test match without even half of it played. 385 00:18:54,787 --> 00:18:57,907 Speaker 2: Three quick points from me before we go to the lines. One. 386 00:18:58,547 --> 00:19:03,067 Speaker 2: I feel gutted for Tim Southey, as I said yesterday. 387 00:19:03,107 --> 00:19:06,187 Speaker 2: He's been absolutely outstanding for New Zealand over a very 388 00:19:06,587 --> 00:19:09,067 Speaker 2: period and Steve Rixon made the point there too, one 389 00:19:09,107 --> 00:19:12,587 Speaker 2: of our best ever bowlers. But the way that his 390 00:19:12,667 --> 00:19:16,507 Speaker 2: career is tapering off and the predetermined farewell series which 391 00:19:16,547 --> 00:19:20,587 Speaker 2: is very quickly going downhill, threatened to tarnish that legacy. 392 00:19:21,587 --> 00:19:24,427 Speaker 2: In the series, he's got four wickets for two hundred 393 00:19:24,427 --> 00:19:26,347 Speaker 2: and forty six runs. He's going for five and over 394 00:19:26,747 --> 00:19:30,547 Speaker 2: in this latest innings. He bowled fewer overs than anyone else, 395 00:19:30,627 --> 00:19:36,147 Speaker 2: even Glenn Phillips bowled more overs than Tim Southey. Apart 396 00:19:36,187 --> 00:19:41,827 Speaker 2: from sentiment, what justification can there possibly be now to 397 00:19:41,947 --> 00:19:47,507 Speaker 2: retain him for the third Test number two. Glen Phillips 398 00:19:47,507 --> 00:19:50,667 Speaker 2: needs to beat above Tom Blundell twice now in three innings. 399 00:19:50,707 --> 00:19:52,507 Speaker 2: He's been left not out at the end. There's only 400 00:19:52,507 --> 00:19:54,587 Speaker 2: so much value in saying hey bats well with the tail, 401 00:19:54,867 --> 00:19:57,547 Speaker 2: he bats well full stop, should be at number six. 402 00:19:57,587 --> 00:20:00,267 Speaker 2: Tom Blundele's form just adds another reason to this. I 403 00:20:00,307 --> 00:20:04,267 Speaker 2: swiped those two around and three. Unless New Zealand shows 404 00:20:04,347 --> 00:20:06,827 Speaker 2: some real backbone with the bat in this beckon innings, 405 00:20:06,827 --> 00:20:10,627 Speaker 2: and even if they do. From here, Will Young must 406 00:20:10,627 --> 00:20:14,507 Speaker 2: play in Hamilton, must play, must play two hundred and 407 00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:16,947 Speaker 2: forty four runs in India at close to fifty man 408 00:20:16,947 --> 00:20:22,067 Speaker 2: of the series, inexplicable, criminal, verging on embarrassing that he 409 00:20:22,187 --> 00:20:24,387 Speaker 2: is carrying the drinks while our top order have had 410 00:20:24,467 --> 00:20:27,387 Speaker 2: so many issues in this series. I actually don't care 411 00:20:27,427 --> 00:20:30,907 Speaker 2: who drops out, really, but someone has to. Devin Conway 412 00:20:30,987 --> 00:20:32,667 Speaker 2: just looks woefully out of form. I love him as 413 00:20:32,667 --> 00:20:36,187 Speaker 2: a batter and as a cricketer, but two, eight, eleven 414 00:20:36,227 --> 00:20:38,827 Speaker 2: and nought are not the numbers to keep you on 415 00:20:38,867 --> 00:20:41,227 Speaker 2: the team. Will Young's got to play in Hamilton. Oh 416 00:20:41,307 --> 00:20:43,867 Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine two ninety two on 417 00:20:43,987 --> 00:20:46,627 Speaker 2: text twelve twenty seven Dallas. Hold there, We're with you 418 00:20:46,707 --> 00:20:48,387 Speaker 2: right after this.

Oh, 424 00:21:02,547 --> 00:21:04,667 Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty, thanks for holding Dallas. 425 00:21:04,667 --> 00:21:05,267 Speaker 2: Good afternoon. 426 00:21:06,387 --> 00:21:09,467 Speaker 10: Yeah, hi, Finny. A great interview with Rixen And I 427 00:21:09,507 --> 00:21:12,707 Speaker 10: was thinking, if only we had him now something like that. 428 00:21:12,947 --> 00:21:14,867 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it just it's just got a bit 429 00:21:14,907 --> 00:21:16,787 Speaker 2: of it's just got a bit about him, isn't he. 430 00:21:17,427 --> 00:21:21,027 Speaker 10: Yeah, can you imagine him with Brenda McCallum as captain 431 00:21:21,067 --> 00:21:23,227 Speaker 10: And would have been that would have been something, wouldn't it? 432 00:21:23,227 --> 00:21:24,787 Speaker 2: It would have what have And you look at the 433 00:21:24,787 --> 00:21:27,667 Speaker 2: way Brendan. I know Brendan's not quite as openly demonstrative 434 00:21:27,827 --> 00:21:30,147 Speaker 2: as Steve Rixon, but I feel like he's got the 435 00:21:30,187 --> 00:21:35,147 Speaker 2: same sort of I don't know character, and you know, yeah, anyway, anyway, 436 00:21:35,147 --> 00:21:36,787 Speaker 2: we digress. 437 00:21:36,627 --> 00:21:40,227 Speaker 10: And they think outside the square. But at the moment, well, 438 00:21:40,267 --> 00:21:42,467 Speaker 10: first of all, we've got to give credit to England. 439 00:21:42,547 --> 00:21:45,507 Speaker 10: This is a strong I think this is the best 440 00:21:45,507 --> 00:21:50,067 Speaker 10: English team I've ever seen. Actually, it's very balanced and 441 00:21:50,347 --> 00:21:53,067 Speaker 10: cars has just got laid them out, just caught and bold, 442 00:21:54,267 --> 00:21:59,187 Speaker 10: so thirty three for three now. But it's a strong 443 00:21:59,227 --> 00:22:01,667 Speaker 10: English team and we've got to give credit to them. 444 00:22:02,347 --> 00:22:05,507 Speaker 10: You know, they bat right down, they bat right down 445 00:22:05,587 --> 00:22:11,787 Speaker 10: to ten or eleven and they their bowling is so balanced. 446 00:22:14,387 --> 00:22:18,827 Speaker 2: Yeah, so oh no, dullas without question. And that's when 447 00:22:19,027 --> 00:22:21,787 Speaker 2: we can't be chilish enough to just say how you know, 448 00:22:21,907 --> 00:22:24,347 Speaker 2: how mediocre we've been without looking at the opposition. Then 449 00:22:24,387 --> 00:22:25,947 Speaker 2: but then you look at the team and you think, okay, 450 00:22:26,627 --> 00:22:30,707 Speaker 2: how many of the players in that eleven in twenty 451 00:22:30,787 --> 00:22:32,667 Speaker 2: years from now are going to be regarded as all 452 00:22:32,707 --> 00:22:35,987 Speaker 2: time greats. Obviously Joe Root will be oli Pope, Howry 453 00:22:36,027 --> 00:22:37,587 Speaker 2: Brook might. But then you look at that oos Ben 454 00:22:37,627 --> 00:22:40,667 Speaker 2: Stokes perhaps, but a guy like cass he's only played 455 00:22:40,667 --> 00:22:43,747 Speaker 2: a handful of Test matches, showed Basha that the spinner 456 00:22:43,787 --> 00:22:47,827 Speaker 2: hasn't really you know, hasn't really played that much. Even 457 00:22:47,867 --> 00:22:50,707 Speaker 2: the guy like Jacob Beth only in his third Test. Yes, 458 00:22:50,747 --> 00:22:52,827 Speaker 2: they're a good team, but you look at some of 459 00:22:52,827 --> 00:22:54,587 Speaker 2: the England teams we've played in the past with some 460 00:22:54,627 --> 00:22:57,187 Speaker 2: of the real greats of the game and the combinations 461 00:22:57,227 --> 00:23:00,587 Speaker 2: of them, and yeah, look that they're good. They're good, 462 00:23:00,707 --> 00:23:02,427 Speaker 2: but are they generationally great? 463 00:23:02,427 --> 00:23:05,707 Speaker 10: To know, well, that's a good point that they playing 464 00:23:05,867 --> 00:23:08,467 Speaker 10: well to ten And I think it's the mindset. I mean, 465 00:23:08,507 --> 00:23:11,347 Speaker 10: look at how Joe rut got its hundred today her 466 00:23:11,667 --> 00:23:14,227 Speaker 10: over I know. 467 00:23:15,547 --> 00:23:19,227 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, and it's just being enabled by Brendan McCallum. 468 00:23:19,267 --> 00:23:21,627 Speaker 2: I don't like the phrase bears ball either, and I 469 00:23:21,627 --> 00:23:24,227 Speaker 2: know he absolutely hates it, but whatever you call it, 470 00:23:24,267 --> 00:23:27,347 Speaker 2: the way he is, he is, you know, enabling this 471 00:23:27,427 --> 00:23:30,267 Speaker 2: team to play the way they are is I mean it's, 472 00:23:30,467 --> 00:23:32,987 Speaker 2: first of all, it's fantastic to watch, but it also 473 00:23:33,027 --> 00:23:34,427 Speaker 2: makes you think, wouldn't it be great if he was 474 00:23:34,587 --> 00:23:35,347 Speaker 2: he was our coach? 475 00:23:36,787 --> 00:23:36,987 Speaker 5: Yeah? 476 00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:40,347 Speaker 10: That brings us to New Zealand. I mean we've just 477 00:23:40,387 --> 00:23:43,587 Speaker 10: got such a conservative approach. This, This whole thing about 478 00:23:43,707 --> 00:23:47,227 Speaker 10: Souy taking a new ball because he's a senior player. 479 00:23:47,547 --> 00:23:51,867 Speaker 10: I mean this is so old fashioned. You know, you 480 00:23:51,987 --> 00:23:55,427 Speaker 10: get the new ball to your quick as bowler who's 481 00:23:55,467 --> 00:23:57,907 Speaker 10: steaming in one hundred and forty in the at least 482 00:23:57,947 --> 00:23:58,627 Speaker 10: one hundred. 483 00:23:58,347 --> 00:23:59,227 Speaker 11: And forties every ball. 484 00:24:00,227 --> 00:24:03,827 Speaker 10: Yeah, and you've got Saudi who's struggling to bowl one 485 00:24:03,867 --> 00:24:04,667 Speaker 10: hundred and thirty. 486 00:24:07,787 --> 00:24:08,667 Speaker 11: What's that about. 487 00:24:09,067 --> 00:24:11,227 Speaker 2: Yeah, we know, we know his weapon is his swing 488 00:24:11,387 --> 00:24:14,347 Speaker 2: and obviously a new ball swings more Dallas. But as 489 00:24:14,347 --> 00:24:16,427 Speaker 2: Steve Rixon said, we know when the opening batsmen are 490 00:24:16,467 --> 00:24:18,747 Speaker 2: advancing down the pitch in the first over to have 491 00:24:18,787 --> 00:24:22,027 Speaker 2: a go at you, you know you you perhaps have 492 00:24:22,067 --> 00:24:24,267 Speaker 2: to re examine things. Thanks for your call mate, as 493 00:24:24,307 --> 00:24:27,227 Speaker 2: you alluded to a third wicket at the basin and 494 00:24:27,387 --> 00:24:29,187 Speaker 2: here comes cars. Oh, this one's greened. 495 00:24:30,027 --> 00:24:34,387 Speaker 8: We well, I thought initially it was off the pad, 496 00:24:34,827 --> 00:24:37,827 Speaker 8: but it was the batspoons straight back up to cars 497 00:24:38,467 --> 00:24:41,227 Speaker 8: and lay them falls for twenty four runs. 498 00:24:41,387 --> 00:24:44,507 Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is not going well at all. Thirty 499 00:24:44,507 --> 00:24:48,547 Speaker 2: eight for three. The target is five hundred and eighty three. 500 00:24:49,867 --> 00:24:56,107 Speaker 7: Hello, Rich, it's pretty I don't really know what to say. 501 00:24:56,307 --> 00:25:01,587 Speaker 12: Finey, It's just I just after what happened yesterday and 502 00:25:01,627 --> 00:25:04,267 Speaker 12: how we kind of were bowled out in England kind 503 00:25:04,267 --> 00:25:06,467 Speaker 12: of just took it away from us and means I 504 00:25:06,507 --> 00:25:08,747 Speaker 12: just want us to go out there and just bat time. 505 00:25:09,587 --> 00:25:11,587 Speaker 12: Even if we're never we're not going to chase the 506 00:25:11,587 --> 00:25:13,627 Speaker 12: target down. But I just want our batsmen to just 507 00:25:14,027 --> 00:25:16,667 Speaker 12: knuckle down and actually give it to the English and 508 00:25:16,707 --> 00:25:20,827 Speaker 12: actually show some sort of fight. It just when you 509 00:25:20,827 --> 00:25:22,867 Speaker 12: look at our team now, they just look down. They 510 00:25:22,987 --> 00:25:26,147 Speaker 12: just look lacked in confidence. And I just struggled to 511 00:25:26,187 --> 00:25:28,627 Speaker 12: go from a three nilk series in India to that, 512 00:25:29,907 --> 00:25:31,307 Speaker 12: and you know, yeah. 513 00:25:31,947 --> 00:25:34,787 Speaker 2: Sorry, well, I mean that's a that's a great opportunity, 514 00:25:34,787 --> 00:25:36,867 Speaker 2: isn't it for somebody to go big someone. I mean, 515 00:25:36,867 --> 00:25:39,467 Speaker 2: there's so much time someone can say you're right, I'm 516 00:25:39,507 --> 00:25:42,187 Speaker 2: going out there today, right, and Revender and Daryl Mitchell, 517 00:25:42,187 --> 00:25:43,707 Speaker 2: I guess are the two there at the moment they 518 00:25:43,707 --> 00:25:45,187 Speaker 2: could say, you know what, I'm going to get a 519 00:25:45,187 --> 00:25:46,027 Speaker 2: triple one hundred here. 520 00:25:48,627 --> 00:25:50,507 Speaker 12: And it just when you look at us now, I 521 00:25:50,667 --> 00:25:53,987 Speaker 12: just I can't see us spatting the rest of this day. 522 00:25:54,067 --> 00:25:56,307 Speaker 12: I kind of see us getting out for under two hundred. 523 00:25:56,347 --> 00:25:58,467 Speaker 12: And that's kind of hard to say that. I just 524 00:25:58,947 --> 00:26:01,147 Speaker 12: you know, the thing is hippointed. We've got one more 525 00:26:01,187 --> 00:26:03,507 Speaker 12: test and then after that we don't have test cricket 526 00:26:03,547 --> 00:26:05,467 Speaker 12: to the middle of the next year against them Babwe 527 00:26:05,267 --> 00:26:08,827 Speaker 12: and then after it's West Indy's. I just there's got 528 00:26:08,867 --> 00:26:12,187 Speaker 12: to be some sort of accountability here where you know 529 00:26:12,347 --> 00:26:14,587 Speaker 12: once this his here is over. You know, people like 530 00:26:14,667 --> 00:26:17,627 Speaker 12: Gary Stead and our and our batting coach Luke Ronkey 531 00:26:17,907 --> 00:26:21,547 Speaker 12: and have ask the tough questions and say, hey, what's 532 00:26:21,587 --> 00:26:24,067 Speaker 12: going on here? This is just it's not good enough 533 00:26:24,547 --> 00:26:26,827 Speaker 12: because you know, when it comes to our all blacks pointy, 534 00:26:27,227 --> 00:26:30,307 Speaker 12: we we held bent when they're losing. We put so 535 00:26:30,467 --> 00:26:32,987 Speaker 12: much heat on them because there are a number one sport. 536 00:26:33,067 --> 00:26:35,667 Speaker 12: But you know crickets are number one spot in summer 537 00:26:35,987 --> 00:26:38,267 Speaker 12: and the heat we've got to we've got to push 538 00:26:38,307 --> 00:26:40,587 Speaker 12: on to here and say, you know, get Gary said 539 00:26:40,627 --> 00:26:42,707 Speaker 12: on your show and say, hey mate, what's going on here? 540 00:26:42,747 --> 00:26:45,827 Speaker 12: Because it's just the same old, same old. We just 541 00:26:45,907 --> 00:26:49,027 Speaker 12: do the same conservative approach. We just we play four 542 00:26:49,107 --> 00:26:51,827 Speaker 12: seamors at home. We never we never develop a spinner. 543 00:26:51,907 --> 00:26:54,147 Speaker 12: You go look at our overseas spinners that have come 544 00:26:54,147 --> 00:26:56,467 Speaker 12: out here in the last couple of years. They've got wickets. 545 00:26:56,987 --> 00:26:58,667 Speaker 12: What do we do We play a half, we play 546 00:26:58,667 --> 00:27:02,187 Speaker 12: a part time spinner. It's just we do the same 547 00:27:02,267 --> 00:27:05,507 Speaker 12: thing every time at home at summer and nothing changes 548 00:27:06,507 --> 00:27:07,707 Speaker 12: the change pointing. 549 00:27:07,547 --> 00:27:10,307 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was that was fine when it was working. 550 00:27:10,467 --> 00:27:12,507 Speaker 2: You know, when we had Bolt Saudi Wagner at the 551 00:27:12,547 --> 00:27:15,267 Speaker 2: top of their game, and then Kyle Jamison joined the 552 00:27:15,267 --> 00:27:17,067 Speaker 2: party and all of a sudden we were terrific with 553 00:27:17,107 --> 00:27:19,467 Speaker 2: a four prong seam attack. That was fine because we're winning, 554 00:27:19,507 --> 00:27:22,107 Speaker 2: we're winning series at home. But you know, the in 555 00:27:22,187 --> 00:27:24,747 Speaker 2: more recent times, you know, a first ever lost to 556 00:27:24,787 --> 00:27:27,627 Speaker 2: Bangladesh in a in a in a test match here, 557 00:27:27,707 --> 00:27:31,787 Speaker 2: you know, last season, last summer's some series against South Africa. 558 00:27:31,827 --> 00:27:35,707 Speaker 2: I'm not sure can really be counted too highly because 559 00:27:35,747 --> 00:27:38,147 Speaker 2: of the strength of the side Australia came here, we 560 00:27:38,187 --> 00:27:41,107 Speaker 2: had the chance to beat them, didn't. But these these 561 00:27:41,147 --> 00:27:45,507 Speaker 2: Test matches here just just the conservatism. You're right, and 562 00:27:46,067 --> 00:27:48,507 Speaker 2: look when we're not gonna we're not gonna win this Test, 563 00:27:48,827 --> 00:27:50,787 Speaker 2: we're almost certainly not going to draw it. So we're 564 00:27:50,787 --> 00:27:53,907 Speaker 2: going to be too nil down going to Hamilton that there, 565 00:27:54,587 --> 00:27:57,507 Speaker 2: what what what would be what would be the point 566 00:27:57,507 --> 00:27:59,387 Speaker 2: of rolling out the same eleven again? Why don't you 567 00:27:59,427 --> 00:28:01,507 Speaker 2: just bring in four or five guys? You know, why 568 00:28:01,507 --> 00:28:03,907 Speaker 2: don't you bring in I don't know, like a Mitch 569 00:28:03,987 --> 00:28:06,147 Speaker 2: Hay or a recent Idio one. He's only just a 570 00:28:06,187 --> 00:28:08,627 Speaker 2: right in Canterbury. Why wouldn't you give well, younger game. 571 00:28:08,667 --> 00:28:10,467 Speaker 2: He's got to get a game. Just do you know 572 00:28:10,507 --> 00:28:14,027 Speaker 2: your tunnel down, You're gonna lose this series anyway, do 573 00:28:14,187 --> 00:28:14,907 Speaker 2: something different. 574 00:28:14,987 --> 00:28:16,267 Speaker 12: I mean, at the end of the day, this is 575 00:28:16,307 --> 00:28:19,147 Speaker 12: one more test we've got until the middle of next year. 576 00:28:19,627 --> 00:28:22,067 Speaker 12: What is wrong with trying to, as you say, bringing 577 00:28:22,107 --> 00:28:24,587 Speaker 12: a Mitch Hay, bring in young and say, you know, 578 00:28:24,747 --> 00:28:26,787 Speaker 12: have a go and see how that runs out. But 579 00:28:26,867 --> 00:28:29,587 Speaker 12: it's just you know, as I said to yesterday pointing 580 00:28:29,627 --> 00:28:33,307 Speaker 12: about Tim Soudy, Hey, I've loved Tim Soudie. He's been 581 00:28:33,347 --> 00:28:35,867 Speaker 12: a great player, but I just think that just the 582 00:28:35,907 --> 00:28:38,547 Speaker 12: way this career has ended for him is it does 583 00:28:38,667 --> 00:28:40,587 Speaker 12: leave a sound taste in the mouth. It's kind of like, 584 00:28:41,387 --> 00:28:44,627 Speaker 12: are we actually respecting this test series or it doesn't 585 00:28:44,627 --> 00:28:46,907 Speaker 12: seem like that to me. It's just like, you know, 586 00:28:47,147 --> 00:28:49,707 Speaker 12: he'll he'll if we lose three nil next teas, we'll 587 00:28:49,707 --> 00:28:51,747 Speaker 12: put Tim Saldy on our shoulders to say great week, 588 00:28:51,787 --> 00:28:53,787 Speaker 12: Tim Southey, But it's kind of like, thank you for 589 00:28:53,827 --> 00:28:58,507 Speaker 12: your service. But what was the last couple of weeks meant? Yeah, 590 00:28:58,627 --> 00:29:00,227 Speaker 12: it just seems like a flap in the face of 591 00:29:00,267 --> 00:29:02,867 Speaker 12: the fans. Are they actually listening. It's like it just 592 00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:05,427 Speaker 12: feels like a club side to me finding that, Oh no, 593 00:29:05,507 --> 00:29:07,947 Speaker 12: we'll just stick to the saying eleven and I just 594 00:29:08,787 --> 00:29:09,507 Speaker 12: I'm sorry, mate. 595 00:29:09,627 --> 00:29:13,547 Speaker 13: I love my I love my Test cricket, but you know, 596 00:29:13,107 --> 00:29:17,027 Speaker 13: I struggle to understand what's the mindset of Gary Stead 597 00:29:17,107 --> 00:29:19,627 Speaker 13: and now and the rest of them going into the 598 00:29:19,627 --> 00:29:20,267 Speaker 13: Test says. 599 00:29:20,107 --> 00:29:24,267 Speaker 12: With the same eleven And I don't know. It's we've 600 00:29:24,307 --> 00:29:26,867 Speaker 12: got to make some sort of change because ctest career 601 00:29:26,947 --> 00:29:28,867 Speaker 12: has to change. I mean, you go look at how 602 00:29:28,947 --> 00:29:32,187 Speaker 12: England are playing this, but we're just the whole bolt 603 00:29:32,307 --> 00:29:35,947 Speaker 12: Southy and Wagner is gone and it's over now. It's 604 00:29:35,987 --> 00:29:39,067 Speaker 12: about time we start looking at developing a spinner and 605 00:29:39,107 --> 00:29:41,987 Speaker 12: playing them in all conditions because other teams are doing 606 00:29:42,027 --> 00:29:44,947 Speaker 12: it but we're not. And going from there, it's the 607 00:29:44,947 --> 00:29:47,347 Speaker 12: same situation with day jes Tell goes over at the 608 00:29:47,427 --> 00:29:48,627 Speaker 12: end of a couple of years ago and then he 609 00:29:48,627 --> 00:29:52,507 Speaker 12: get stopped beca doesn't play it at home. Yeah, something, I 610 00:29:52,547 --> 00:29:53,867 Speaker 12: don't get it. I really don't. 611 00:29:54,027 --> 00:29:56,787 Speaker 2: You knock it on your I mean, look, and your 612 00:29:56,787 --> 00:30:00,707 Speaker 2: passion is what's needed in any sport, right. A sport 613 00:30:00,787 --> 00:30:05,267 Speaker 2: needs passionate fans. There's nothing worse than ambivalence, and so 614 00:30:05,507 --> 00:30:09,707 Speaker 2: you're allowed to be annoyed, frustrated, confused and questioned things 615 00:30:09,707 --> 00:30:12,707 Speaker 2: when they don't go your why and you think to yourself, 616 00:30:13,267 --> 00:30:16,347 Speaker 2: why can't we just be a bit innovative. The spinner 617 00:30:16,387 --> 00:30:20,307 Speaker 2: at home thing has been it will never change. If 618 00:30:20,347 --> 00:30:23,027 Speaker 2: a bloke can't get picked for the test after he 619 00:30:23,107 --> 00:30:25,947 Speaker 2: gets ten in a earnings then I'm telling you right 620 00:30:25,987 --> 00:30:29,867 Speaker 2: now we're never gonna play a spinner regularly at home. 621 00:30:30,387 --> 00:30:32,787 Speaker 2: There you get, Karen, Hello. 622 00:30:34,387 --> 00:30:37,907 Speaker 14: Morning, sorry afternoon. Finally a couple of things you started. 623 00:30:38,027 --> 00:30:41,067 Speaker 14: You spoke about him Saudi in his legacy. I think 624 00:30:41,067 --> 00:30:45,507 Speaker 14: that legacy was already spoilt. I played third great trick 625 00:30:45,587 --> 00:30:47,827 Speaker 14: for a club and we talked about this regularly every 626 00:30:47,827 --> 00:30:51,747 Speaker 14: time at training, and guys they're already saying, questioning why 627 00:30:51,787 --> 00:30:54,267 Speaker 14: he's even playing. So that just shows you the value 628 00:30:54,387 --> 00:30:58,907 Speaker 14: of somebody like a trend boat and Neil Virgnaw who 629 00:30:59,067 --> 00:31:02,107 Speaker 14: held one end up. So I'll take a step back. 630 00:31:02,147 --> 00:31:05,307 Speaker 14: I know hindsight's a great thing, but why was Neil Wagner. 631 00:31:04,947 --> 00:31:05,667 Speaker 5: Made to retire? 632 00:31:07,747 --> 00:31:10,787 Speaker 14: Potentially because you had pins strength, but I don't see 633 00:31:10,787 --> 00:31:14,067 Speaker 14: that past bawling pen strength. Guy Jameson's injured. I don't 634 00:31:14,107 --> 00:31:17,547 Speaker 14: know if it's got google liners. Who's that past bowler 635 00:31:17,627 --> 00:31:20,867 Speaker 14: from Hawk's Bay. They've played him, but they're not playing 636 00:31:20,947 --> 00:31:23,667 Speaker 14: him anymore. I don't like the look of Matan Smith. 637 00:31:23,827 --> 00:31:25,747 Speaker 14: I don't think he's a cut out. Yeah, he's a 638 00:31:25,747 --> 00:31:28,747 Speaker 14: good seam bowler at home, but not away from h 639 00:31:28,827 --> 00:31:30,947 Speaker 14: Not away from home, he's not a long term prospect. 640 00:31:31,307 --> 00:31:34,747 Speaker 14: That's one is you've lost strength bowls and that's why 641 00:31:34,867 --> 00:31:37,707 Speaker 14: Tim Saudi the other end, has become benefective. 642 00:31:37,987 --> 00:31:40,667 Speaker 2: Yeah, just cour on, just before you met your second 643 00:31:40,707 --> 00:31:42,507 Speaker 2: point on all sid side of that is that Bolton 644 00:31:42,547 --> 00:31:45,907 Speaker 2: Wagner also benefited from sau the at the top of 645 00:31:45,947 --> 00:31:48,507 Speaker 2: his game as well. But yet the point stands. 646 00:31:48,387 --> 00:31:53,147 Speaker 14: Yeah, hundred percent right, It's it's a symbiotic relationship, right yeap, 647 00:31:53,307 --> 00:31:57,347 Speaker 14: So that's one too. You spoke about a spinner. I 648 00:31:57,627 --> 00:31:59,867 Speaker 14: failed to understand why a just but is not playing 649 00:32:00,187 --> 00:32:03,987 Speaker 14: a spinner. Now you could argue Ossie conditions are also 650 00:32:04,027 --> 00:32:07,347 Speaker 14: not benducive to spin bawling. They have been reducing the 651 00:32:07,387 --> 00:32:10,787 Speaker 14: best spin ballers in the world how because they they 652 00:32:10,867 --> 00:32:13,667 Speaker 14: play the spinners at home? Yep, why do we not 653 00:32:13,827 --> 00:32:15,187 Speaker 14: play a spinner at home? 654 00:32:15,347 --> 00:32:15,707 Speaker 5: Please? 655 00:32:16,067 --> 00:32:17,147 Speaker 14: Somebody explain this to me. 656 00:32:17,587 --> 00:32:20,267 Speaker 2: I can't explain it to you. Karan. You're right though, 657 00:32:20,267 --> 00:32:22,387 Speaker 2: and I've said this a lot about Nathan Lyne. It 658 00:32:22,427 --> 00:32:26,027 Speaker 2: can be the dirtiest green seema in the world. And 659 00:32:26,067 --> 00:32:29,027 Speaker 2: he's he plies every taste match. He plies every taste match. 660 00:32:29,907 --> 00:32:32,667 Speaker 14: Yes, even if he's holding one end up. You know 661 00:32:32,747 --> 00:32:34,587 Speaker 14: that's also a role to do for You're not going 662 00:32:34,667 --> 00:32:36,507 Speaker 14: to play your spinners at home. You'll never develop a 663 00:32:36,507 --> 00:32:39,227 Speaker 14: spinner anyway. I'm going to sound repetitive, so I'm going 664 00:32:39,307 --> 00:32:42,267 Speaker 14: to stop talking about the spinner. But I mean we 665 00:32:42,307 --> 00:32:44,467 Speaker 14: won in India. I'm in there myself, so I mean 666 00:32:44,507 --> 00:32:46,627 Speaker 14: it was great to wash, it was great for Test cricket, 667 00:32:47,027 --> 00:32:49,987 Speaker 14: and that was a great performance. But you've got to change. 668 00:32:50,067 --> 00:32:52,187 Speaker 14: Your previous caller was one hundred percent right, got It's 669 00:32:52,307 --> 00:32:55,467 Speaker 14: changed the way we approach home test matches. It's embarrassing. 670 00:32:55,547 --> 00:32:55,747 Speaker 15: You know. 671 00:32:55,867 --> 00:32:58,787 Speaker 14: I put on Summer equals Cricket. I put on the 672 00:32:58,827 --> 00:33:00,547 Speaker 14: telly at eleven am and I see this on Way. 673 00:33:00,667 --> 00:33:01,427 Speaker 5: What is happening? 674 00:33:02,587 --> 00:33:06,667 Speaker 14: The third point batting beaving Conway has been given too 675 00:33:06,707 --> 00:33:10,107 Speaker 14: long a leash. He's been given too many lives. He 676 00:33:10,187 --> 00:33:12,427 Speaker 14: needed to go he really needs to have a deep 677 00:33:12,467 --> 00:33:14,667 Speaker 14: look at his gaming. Maybe he needs a break. Who knows, 678 00:33:14,707 --> 00:33:17,747 Speaker 14: who knows what's going on there? A man who scores 679 00:33:17,747 --> 00:33:21,587 Speaker 14: two hundred on debut has enormous potential. You should play him, 680 00:33:22,547 --> 00:33:24,867 Speaker 14: but he's been given too many turns and so he 681 00:33:24,907 --> 00:33:27,147 Speaker 14: needs to go. Will Young needs to come in again. 682 00:33:27,187 --> 00:33:29,307 Speaker 14: I don't understand something. Who scored two hundred plus runs 683 00:33:29,347 --> 00:33:33,547 Speaker 14: in India? What was the average forty plus forty eight? 684 00:33:33,547 --> 00:33:36,627 Speaker 2: No, but so basically fifty? Yeah, why is he not 685 00:33:36,667 --> 00:33:39,427 Speaker 2: playing again? I cannot explain it, Kuran. 686 00:33:41,067 --> 00:33:43,347 Speaker 14: So those are my points. I mean, it's I was 687 00:33:43,707 --> 00:33:45,387 Speaker 14: I'm from Oakland. I was going to go down to 688 00:33:45,387 --> 00:33:48,747 Speaker 14: Hamilton to watch Jimmy's last Test match, which I still will, 689 00:33:49,667 --> 00:33:51,547 Speaker 14: but it's I've got a star taste. 690 00:33:51,307 --> 00:33:51,787 Speaker 10: In my mouth. 691 00:33:52,547 --> 00:33:55,227 Speaker 2: Thank you for calling Karan, drive safely.

Come on, Wellington, where's 699 00:34:16,427 --> 00:34:19,027 Speaker 2: the rain? We need plenty for the next three days. 700 00:34:19,107 --> 00:34:23,867 Speaker 2: Andrew Ordison's in Wellings and any rain around orders. 701 00:34:24,467 --> 00:34:27,907 Speaker 16: Greetings, Piney. Yes, there is some forecast turn out just 702 00:34:28,187 --> 00:34:32,027 Speaker 16: swirling around towards the Cooks straight as we speak. It'll 703 00:34:32,027 --> 00:34:36,227 Speaker 16: come in eventually from the northwest, so in another hour's 704 00:34:36,347 --> 00:34:39,107 Speaker 16: time that could be there. But New Zealand's going to 705 00:34:39,187 --> 00:34:39,387 Speaker 16: need it. 706 00:34:39,427 --> 00:34:39,707 Speaker 1: Piney. 707 00:34:39,747 --> 00:34:43,387 Speaker 16: Here at the moment where it is, I think it's 708 00:34:43,667 --> 00:34:46,347 Speaker 16: jerrel much like you cut another four through the gully, 709 00:34:47,027 --> 00:34:50,707 Speaker 16: but that takes them through to at nineteenth Mitchell, New 710 00:34:50,787 --> 00:34:54,267 Speaker 16: Zealand fifty seven for three, but they're chasing a monumental 711 00:34:54,867 --> 00:34:58,267 Speaker 16: five eighty three for victory here after England declared at 712 00:34:58,387 --> 00:34:59,627 Speaker 16: four twenty seven for six. 713 00:34:59,667 --> 00:35:02,427 Speaker 2: Piney, tell us about the first hour or so this morning, 714 00:35:02,827 --> 00:35:07,227 Speaker 2: the conclusion of England's innings, which included the the Century 715 00:35:07,307 --> 00:35:12,187 Speaker 2: to Joe Root bringing it up in typical Brandon McCullum 716 00:35:12,227 --> 00:35:14,347 Speaker 2: coached at Team fashion with a ramp shot. 717 00:35:16,427 --> 00:35:20,707 Speaker 16: That's right, nothing changes there and that ethos. But what 718 00:35:20,787 --> 00:35:23,667 Speaker 16: I would say it was a comical at times because 719 00:35:23,667 --> 00:35:26,307 Speaker 16: you had this situation and whenever Stokes came on strike, 720 00:35:26,787 --> 00:35:29,787 Speaker 16: you ended up with a ring field. Albeit there was 721 00:35:29,827 --> 00:35:33,187 Speaker 16: a backward point which was fulfilled by Nathan Smith or 722 00:35:33,187 --> 00:35:36,547 Speaker 16: Tim Sawley at various junctures, but it just had this 723 00:35:37,027 --> 00:35:40,547 Speaker 16: holding patent field to it before the declaration was made. 724 00:35:40,547 --> 00:35:43,547 Speaker 16: Fine it but Joe Rude eventually getting there for his century. 725 00:35:43,987 --> 00:35:47,307 Speaker 16: Ben Stokes finishing on forty nine not out, but then 726 00:35:47,307 --> 00:35:50,107 Speaker 16: he's struggling immediately of course out of form at the 727 00:35:50,107 --> 00:35:54,667 Speaker 16: moment Devin Conway dismissed for a duck and then Chris 728 00:35:54,707 --> 00:35:57,227 Speaker 16: Woke's giving the key wicket of Caine winnings before getting 729 00:35:57,267 --> 00:36:00,307 Speaker 16: them to feather an edge to keep it. Olie Pope 730 00:36:00,627 --> 00:36:03,267 Speaker 16: and then he had also the dismissal Cordon bowl. Brighton 731 00:36:03,347 --> 00:36:05,427 Speaker 16: Calfe came into the attack, got a court and bowl 732 00:36:05,467 --> 00:36:08,067 Speaker 16: from a leading edge Tom Layton for twenty four. So 733 00:36:08,427 --> 00:36:11,147 Speaker 16: New Zealand struggling here on this the day and you 734 00:36:11,187 --> 00:36:12,867 Speaker 16: know we're not even halfway through the Test. 735 00:36:12,947 --> 00:36:15,107 Speaker 2: No, that's that's the point that's been made a lot 736 00:36:15,187 --> 00:36:17,067 Speaker 2: is that you know the weigh England play their Test cricket. 737 00:36:17,067 --> 00:36:19,067 Speaker 2: They advanced these games so quickly that you're right. We 738 00:36:19,107 --> 00:36:21,547 Speaker 2: don't get to the half way test by time anyway 739 00:36:21,627 --> 00:36:27,107 Speaker 2: until midway through the afternoon session today. Look, let's let's 740 00:36:27,107 --> 00:36:29,987 Speaker 2: try and spin this positively. Can you see Darryl Mitchell 741 00:36:30,307 --> 00:36:33,427 Speaker 2: or rich and Ravendra or perhaps Tom Blundell or Glenn 742 00:36:33,427 --> 00:36:36,987 Speaker 2: Phillips batting and batting and batting for the next day 743 00:36:36,987 --> 00:36:37,467 Speaker 2: and a half. 744 00:36:38,067 --> 00:36:40,267 Speaker 16: Well, I'm going to reach deep into by Pollyanna here 745 00:36:40,267 --> 00:36:43,987 Speaker 16: and try and find something there for you. On that note, Look, 746 00:36:44,347 --> 00:36:46,787 Speaker 16: while they're still at the crease, there's always hope, isn't that? 747 00:36:46,907 --> 00:36:48,587 Speaker 16: And you think about well, put it this way. I 748 00:36:48,627 --> 00:36:50,987 Speaker 16: was looking at it this morning. You think that New 749 00:36:51,027 --> 00:36:54,147 Speaker 16: Zeal's highest total in a fourth innings which was four 750 00:36:54,267 --> 00:36:56,987 Speaker 16: hundred and fifty one, albeit at a loss against England 751 00:36:57,067 --> 00:36:59,587 Speaker 16: at Lancaster Park in two thousand and two, and that 752 00:36:59,707 --> 00:37:03,507 Speaker 16: was the test where Nathan Estall just ping those amazing 753 00:37:03,507 --> 00:37:08,027 Speaker 16: shots echoing around, ricocheting around the park for his two 754 00:37:08,067 --> 00:37:10,187 Speaker 16: hundred and twenty two. So they could be seeing entertainment 755 00:37:10,227 --> 00:37:13,267 Speaker 16: to come. Who knows, but five eighty three that's a 756 00:37:13,307 --> 00:37:15,627 Speaker 16: tall order when you think Piney, I mean it's already 757 00:37:15,627 --> 00:37:17,627 Speaker 16: stood for what twenty one years there four hundred and 758 00:37:17,627 --> 00:37:20,547 Speaker 16: eighteen to seven, the Western Thees being Australia in Antigua 759 00:37:20,627 --> 00:37:24,467 Speaker 16: in two thousand and three. That's your absolute peak at 760 00:37:24,467 --> 00:37:26,467 Speaker 16: the stage to win a Test match. So it's a 761 00:37:26,467 --> 00:37:29,067 Speaker 16: big ask the other world tenders. You draw the Test 762 00:37:29,147 --> 00:37:31,507 Speaker 16: in a bit like England in the nineteen thirty nine 763 00:37:32,427 --> 00:37:35,347 Speaker 16: Timeless Test across ten days in Durham against South Africa 764 00:37:35,387 --> 00:37:36,667 Speaker 16: where they had to take the train to get the 765 00:37:36,667 --> 00:37:39,107 Speaker 16: boat home from Cape Town. They were six hundred and 766 00:37:39,107 --> 00:37:41,947 Speaker 16: fifty four for five. They needed forty two or something 767 00:37:41,947 --> 00:37:44,307 Speaker 16: like that for victory at that particular jumps here, but 768 00:37:44,307 --> 00:37:46,707 Speaker 16: they had had to down tools and he's the. 769 00:37:46,667 --> 00:37:49,707 Speaker 2: Train is I think Polyan used to used to call 770 00:37:49,707 --> 00:37:51,347 Speaker 2: it the glad game. It's good to have a bit 771 00:37:51,387 --> 00:37:54,147 Speaker 2: of the glad game. This is it right up there? Yeah, 772 00:37:54,227 --> 00:37:56,067 Speaker 2: this is a good England side. Is it a great 773 00:37:56,067 --> 00:37:56,907 Speaker 2: England side? 774 00:37:57,747 --> 00:37:57,947 Speaker 17: No? 775 00:37:58,027 --> 00:38:00,227 Speaker 16: I don't think so, but it's getting up there. I mean, 776 00:38:00,707 --> 00:38:04,027 Speaker 16: Plus they're putting together a fairly. I mean it's a 777 00:38:04,027 --> 00:38:06,427 Speaker 16: work in progress, I would say in that regard. He 778 00:38:06,507 --> 00:38:08,947 Speaker 16: developed some great players and you look at those who've 779 00:38:08,947 --> 00:38:11,827 Speaker 16: come into the ranks over this mccallumire. You see ride 780 00:38:11,867 --> 00:38:16,347 Speaker 16: and Cass. You see the efforts even with Harry Brook 781 00:38:16,387 --> 00:38:18,827 Speaker 16: but even take a bet will just pick sort of 782 00:38:18,827 --> 00:38:22,307 Speaker 16: obscurity really in terms of a red ball perspective delivering 783 00:38:22,307 --> 00:38:25,227 Speaker 16: with his ninety six almost getting to a ton. There's 784 00:38:25,227 --> 00:38:28,867 Speaker 16: a number of quality players in that outfit.

So maybe they'll arrive 800 00:39:05,547 --> 00:39:06,987 Speaker 2: at some stage. We'll talk to you in a couple 801 00:39:06,987 --> 00:39:07,467 Speaker 2: of hours or so. 802 00:39:08,307 --> 00:39:10,027 Speaker 16: Indeed, I did see some blue stuff on the on 803 00:39:10,067 --> 00:39:12,267 Speaker 16: the rain radar coming through, so we'll see what happened. 804 00:39:12,547 --> 00:39:14,947 Speaker 2: Good Man Andrew Ordison there our man at the basement reserve. 805 00:39:14,987 --> 00:39:17,907 Speaker 2: Read him at MZ Herald dot co dot NZ nine 806 00:39:17,907 --> 00:39:19,267 Speaker 2: away from one new stalks edb. 807 00:39:20,187 --> 00:39:25,307 Speaker 1: Breaking down the hail Mary's and the epic fields weekends 808 00:39:25,347 --> 00:39:28,387 Speaker 1: for it with Jason yin news talk z NB. 809 00:39:28,587 --> 00:39:30,467 Speaker 2: Five and a half to one. Back to the basins 810 00:39:30,667 --> 00:39:33,307 Speaker 2: cast comes in again, Bolster Novendra nix it behind and 811 00:39:33,387 --> 00:39:36,267 Speaker 2: that is the end of Novendra. It was short and 812 00:39:36,467 --> 00:39:37,307 Speaker 2: tried to force it. 813 00:39:37,267 --> 00:39:40,187 Speaker 11: Off the back, but it bounced on him and in 814 00:39:40,267 --> 00:39:42,587 Speaker 11: the end the catch was taken by Pope. 815 00:39:42,627 --> 00:39:45,707 Speaker 2: It was a simple catch. So rach and Ravendra the 816 00:39:45,787 --> 00:39:48,267 Speaker 2: latest man to depart. He's not going to be the 817 00:39:48,267 --> 00:39:51,187 Speaker 2: one who gets the triple century out for six. So 818 00:39:51,347 --> 00:39:54,587 Speaker 2: back in the back in the hatch Latham for twenty four, 819 00:39:54,707 --> 00:39:58,067 Speaker 2: Conway without scoring, Williamson for four and now rich and 820 00:39:58,147 --> 00:40:02,507 Speaker 2: Revendra for six. Tom Blundele's come out to join Daryl 821 00:40:02,547 --> 00:40:05,227 Speaker 2: Mitchell has actually been looking all right. Twenty or fifteen 822 00:40:05,267 --> 00:40:08,787 Speaker 2: balls including four boundaries for Darryl Mitchell. But there is 823 00:40:09,147 --> 00:40:12,147 Speaker 2: so much work to do, so much work to do well. 824 00:40:12,187 --> 00:40:14,507 Speaker 2: It would be a very good time to break out 825 00:40:14,547 --> 00:40:17,187 Speaker 2: of a form slump. For Tom Blundell, you have to say, 826 00:40:17,587 --> 00:40:21,387 Speaker 2: Brighton cass another wicket for him. He's got two for eleven, 827 00:40:21,947 --> 00:40:25,347 Speaker 2: two for eleven in this innings. This of course after 828 00:40:25,347 --> 00:40:27,507 Speaker 2: he took ten wickets in the first Test and in 829 00:40:27,547 --> 00:40:30,427 Speaker 2: the first innings at the basin four for forty six. 830 00:40:30,827 --> 00:40:35,347 Speaker 2: So what's that sixteen wickets in three and a half 831 00:40:36,267 --> 00:40:39,427 Speaker 2: or thereabouts innings for a bloke who's really only just 832 00:40:39,507 --> 00:40:42,707 Speaker 2: arrived on the Test scene. So Brighton cars is enjoying 833 00:40:42,747 --> 00:40:46,787 Speaker 2: himself here in New Zealand. The home batters not quite 834 00:40:46,787 --> 00:40:50,267 Speaker 2: so much. So Mitchell and Blundel together with about four 835 00:40:50,267 --> 00:40:53,227 Speaker 2: minutes to go until lunch and a mountain to climb, 836 00:40:53,427 --> 00:40:55,867 Speaker 2: a mountain to climb for New Zealand if they are 837 00:40:55,907 --> 00:40:59,787 Speaker 2: to save this Test match and keep this series alive 838 00:40:59,827 --> 00:41:02,907 Speaker 2: heading to Hamilton, it is looking less and less likely 839 00:41:03,227 --> 00:41:06,947 Speaker 2: all the time. After one o'clock we'll shift our focus 840 00:41:06,987 --> 00:41:09,827 Speaker 2: to rather more positive matters.

For the first time. They conceded 894 00:44:08,907 --> 00:44:11,467 Speaker 2: cost of Barbarussa striking late in the second half, but 895 00:44:11,547 --> 00:44:14,907 Speaker 2: not enough. Auckland held on to win a thrilling encounter 896 00:44:15,027 --> 00:44:18,507 Speaker 2: to one. New Zealand Herald football writer Michael Burgess was 897 00:44:18,587 --> 00:44:20,987 Speaker 2: on hand to witness it all play out. You can 898 00:44:21,027 --> 00:44:24,307 Speaker 2: read him at enzid Herald dot co dot enz He 899 00:44:24,387 --> 00:44:27,987 Speaker 2: joins us now Birch, can we start with the occasion yesterday? 900 00:44:27,987 --> 00:44:28,987 Speaker 2: How would you describe it? 901 00:44:30,667 --> 00:44:33,667 Speaker 11: Get our pony? Yeah, I thought, I thought it was amazing. 902 00:44:33,947 --> 00:44:37,267 Speaker 11: I really did like like sometimes these things might not 903 00:44:37,347 --> 00:44:38,827 Speaker 11: quite live up to the hype, and there's a lot 904 00:44:38,867 --> 00:44:42,027 Speaker 11: of hype ahead of this match, but it truly did. 905 00:44:42,107 --> 00:44:44,627 Speaker 11: It was just we were talking after the game, weren't 906 00:44:44,627 --> 00:44:47,827 Speaker 11: we It didn't really feel like New Zealand. It felt 907 00:44:47,827 --> 00:44:50,027 Speaker 11: that we were somewhere else, were in Argentina or England 908 00:44:50,107 --> 00:44:55,787 Speaker 11: or somewhere where fans go a bit crazy. Because the singing, 909 00:44:56,107 --> 00:44:58,907 Speaker 11: the chanting, the band, to the emotion, there was really 910 00:44:59,347 --> 00:45:05,147 Speaker 11: something special in the air. The large continuent of Phoenix fans, 911 00:45:05,147 --> 00:45:08,267 Speaker 11: probably about fifteen hundred imagine, they really made the occasion, 912 00:45:08,267 --> 00:45:12,187 Speaker 11: I thought, because they were providing, you know, that section 913 00:45:12,267 --> 00:45:14,987 Speaker 11: of away fans. You don't often get New Zealand's sported contest. 914 00:45:15,027 --> 00:45:16,387 Speaker 5: So that was magic. 915 00:45:17,547 --> 00:45:19,827 Speaker 11: And just I don't know everything about it. And then 916 00:45:21,067 --> 00:45:23,507 Speaker 11: as you just said, the game kind of lived up 917 00:45:23,507 --> 00:45:27,787 Speaker 11: to it as well. Sometimes derby games can be stalemate, 918 00:45:27,827 --> 00:45:29,787 Speaker 11: can be very tight, but it was pretty open, lots 919 00:45:29,827 --> 00:45:32,907 Speaker 11: of action. So yeah, it was just a wonderful and 920 00:45:33,027 --> 00:45:34,907 Speaker 11: quite a novel occasion. 921 00:45:35,107 --> 00:45:39,627 Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't. And I've been trying to unpick exactly 922 00:45:39,707 --> 00:45:42,307 Speaker 2: how this has happened so quickly the Darby. You think 923 00:45:42,307 --> 00:45:43,747 Speaker 2: you're right. I think we're going to give kudos to 924 00:45:43,747 --> 00:45:46,227 Speaker 2: the traveling fans and when you're you know, around the world, 925 00:45:46,267 --> 00:45:49,547 Speaker 2: that's often what makes an occasion like a football game, 926 00:45:49,747 --> 00:45:51,787 Speaker 2: you know, really fizz is the fact that there are 927 00:45:51,787 --> 00:45:53,787 Speaker 2: some away fans who make a lot of noise. But 928 00:45:54,347 --> 00:45:58,627 Speaker 2: how have Auckland FC so quickly generated this fan base 929 00:45:58,707 --> 00:46:02,267 Speaker 2: that is so different from I think that's probably I 930 00:46:02,307 --> 00:46:05,467 Speaker 2: don't think Yellow Fevers it took them ages to get 931 00:46:05,507 --> 00:46:07,707 Speaker 2: to you know, to get to the sweet spot of 932 00:46:07,747 --> 00:46:09,987 Speaker 2: their life. How have Awkland the FC done it so quickly? 933 00:46:11,947 --> 00:46:13,667 Speaker 11: That's one of the big questions, isn't it. I mean, 934 00:46:14,587 --> 00:46:17,387 Speaker 11: Yellow Fever did provide a template. So you've got to 935 00:46:17,507 --> 00:46:20,307 Speaker 11: give credit to yellow Fever because they've provided you know, 936 00:46:20,387 --> 00:46:24,307 Speaker 11: they've shown what what real passionate fandom is about. But 937 00:46:24,747 --> 00:46:27,347 Speaker 11: as you say, it built up over a long time. Awklanle' said, 938 00:46:27,387 --> 00:46:30,627 Speaker 11: we're very smart. They engage with the port very early. 939 00:46:31,547 --> 00:46:34,947 Speaker 11: They've got a very heavy presence on social media, so 940 00:46:34,987 --> 00:46:38,027 Speaker 11: they've tapped into to that sort of young market and 941 00:46:38,067 --> 00:46:41,067 Speaker 11: most of the port from what I see, are quite young. 942 00:46:41,867 --> 00:46:46,347 Speaker 11: The results have helped and mount smart is quite a 943 00:46:46,347 --> 00:46:50,427 Speaker 11: good setup for creating that atmosphere. But it's pretty amazing 944 00:46:50,667 --> 00:46:54,747 Speaker 11: Piney that people care so much about this team already. 945 00:46:54,787 --> 00:46:58,027 Speaker 11: You know, it's not it's not it's not fake, it's 946 00:46:58,067 --> 00:47:00,467 Speaker 11: really genuine. And the other thing that I'm equally is 947 00:47:00,467 --> 00:47:04,667 Speaker 11: amazed about is this rivalry, Like it's it's so new. 948 00:47:05,107 --> 00:47:08,107 Speaker 11: You know, Orkan's played their first game two months listened 949 00:47:08,147 --> 00:47:10,827 Speaker 11: two months ago. They've only been in distance for less 950 00:47:10,827 --> 00:47:13,227 Speaker 11: than a year, so it's so new, this rivalry. But 951 00:47:13,467 --> 00:47:16,947 Speaker 11: it feels really genuine between these two clubs. Normally these 952 00:47:16,947 --> 00:47:20,907 Speaker 11: things take a while to develop, but this is I 953 00:47:20,947 --> 00:47:22,347 Speaker 11: don't know, it feels like it's one of the best 954 00:47:22,467 --> 00:47:25,107 Speaker 11: rivalries in New Zealand sport. It really does. 955 00:47:25,147 --> 00:47:27,187 Speaker 2: Oh look, I could not agree more. I read that 956 00:47:27,227 --> 00:47:29,507 Speaker 2: in your piece this morning, and you're so right. The 957 00:47:29,547 --> 00:47:32,987 Speaker 2: tension between these clubs, you know, the back and forth 958 00:47:33,467 --> 00:47:35,707 Speaker 2: during a week and also what happened on the park. 959 00:47:35,747 --> 00:47:38,147 Speaker 2: I mean you could see just one example yesterday Alex 960 00:47:38,227 --> 00:47:41,587 Speaker 2: Ruffer and and you know coming together with Louis Toomey 961 00:47:41,667 --> 00:47:43,707 Speaker 2: after something to me did in the last derby. It 962 00:47:43,707 --> 00:47:47,507 Speaker 2: feels as though, you know, the narrative is already being written, 963 00:47:47,667 --> 00:47:50,787 Speaker 2: and I think everybody's now wondering when the next one is. 964 00:47:51,867 --> 00:47:54,147 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I just I just wish there was 965 00:47:54,747 --> 00:47:56,947 Speaker 11: four derbies this season, like another one and willing to 966 00:47:56,987 --> 00:47:59,827 Speaker 11: and really top it off. But you're exactly right, because 967 00:47:59,867 --> 00:48:03,587 Speaker 11: because we wondered if we truly see this, this made 968 00:48:03,627 --> 00:48:07,467 Speaker 11: against mate thing that you see the Manchester Derby, the 969 00:48:07,467 --> 00:48:10,147 Speaker 11: Liverpool Derby, all these other ones. But we did you know, 970 00:48:10,347 --> 00:48:14,787 Speaker 11: in the first five minutes yesterday, cost of Barbaroussis barreled 971 00:48:14,787 --> 00:48:17,987 Speaker 11: in Tornando Pineker barreled them over. And they've been teammates 972 00:48:17,987 --> 00:48:20,187 Speaker 11: in the Wits for years, you know, I'm sure they're 973 00:48:20,227 --> 00:48:23,467 Speaker 11: good friends, have been playing together for five six years. 974 00:48:24,307 --> 00:48:27,987 Speaker 11: But you know, Costers were in yellow, Nandez were in blue, 975 00:48:28,267 --> 00:48:31,187 Speaker 11: and when you cross that white line, it all changes. 976 00:48:31,267 --> 00:48:36,147 Speaker 11: So I just I just think that the recipe is 977 00:48:36,147 --> 00:48:38,867 Speaker 11: already there. It's a it's a Marketer's dream. And like 978 00:48:38,947 --> 00:48:42,187 Speaker 11: you say, there's already narratives around this. There's already narratives 979 00:48:42,187 --> 00:48:44,587 Speaker 11: around you know, the Phoenix Keeper having a couple of 980 00:48:44,867 --> 00:48:49,227 Speaker 11: unfortunate moments. There's already a couple of villains, and there's 981 00:48:49,227 --> 00:48:54,027 Speaker 11: a couple of heroes. So it's just unfolding unfolding perfectly. 982 00:48:54,307 --> 00:48:56,667 Speaker 2: Did you think Auckland FC deserved to win the game? 983 00:48:58,667 --> 00:48:59,067 Speaker 11: They did? 984 00:48:59,307 --> 00:48:59,707 Speaker 5: They did. 985 00:48:59,867 --> 00:49:03,427 Speaker 11: I think they were they were the they were the 986 00:49:03,427 --> 00:49:07,907 Speaker 11: better team. They handled their casion a bit better. Again, 987 00:49:09,067 --> 00:49:11,987 Speaker 11: it's felt that the occasion got to the Phoenix to 988 00:49:12,067 --> 00:49:15,507 Speaker 11: some degree, but it also felt for the Phoenix. I 989 00:49:15,507 --> 00:49:18,707 Speaker 11: think they'll leave with some regrets. If that game had 990 00:49:18,787 --> 00:49:21,107 Speaker 11: ended a draw, people would have been saying, yeah, okay, 991 00:49:21,227 --> 00:49:23,667 Speaker 11: that's probably fair enough too. So I thought the Phoenix 992 00:49:23,667 --> 00:49:27,827 Speaker 11: played a lot better than they did in Wellington. They 993 00:49:27,907 --> 00:49:32,587 Speaker 11: created some good some good moments, but you know, two 994 00:49:33,147 --> 00:49:37,587 Speaker 11: two really unfortunate, probably Paul goals to concede in this 995 00:49:37,627 --> 00:49:41,907 Speaker 11: type of game, especially the first one, that's so deflating. 996 00:49:42,427 --> 00:49:46,027 Speaker 11: So it felt like they didn't bring their best again, 997 00:49:46,107 --> 00:49:48,787 Speaker 11: some of the some of their senior players let them down. 998 00:49:48,827 --> 00:49:52,827 Speaker 11: Auckland went, Auckland went perfect, but they were just they 999 00:49:52,827 --> 00:49:55,787 Speaker 11: were just a bit more together when it mattered. 1000 00:49:56,627 --> 00:49:59,547 Speaker 2: They did consider goal. Finally, it was interesting afterwards they 1001 00:49:59,587 --> 00:50:02,227 Speaker 2: won the game, but you know, listening to the thoughts 1002 00:50:02,227 --> 00:50:04,867 Speaker 2: of Dan Hall, for example, who actually held his hand 1003 00:50:04,907 --> 00:50:06,267 Speaker 2: up to say the guy gave the ball away that 1004 00:50:06,427 --> 00:50:09,427 Speaker 2: led to Wellington's goal, that they were disappointed that this 1005 00:50:09,627 --> 00:50:14,027 Speaker 2: long clean sheet streak, that that fashion had finally come 1006 00:50:14,067 --> 00:50:16,827 Speaker 2: to an end. I guess that speaks to something deeper 1007 00:50:16,827 --> 00:50:19,627 Speaker 2: than the side when even in victory you're still a 1008 00:50:19,627 --> 00:50:20,427 Speaker 2: bit disappointed. 1009 00:50:21,467 --> 00:50:22,387 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it does. 1010 00:50:22,427 --> 00:50:26,147 Speaker 11: They were so proud of this clean sheet streak because 1011 00:50:26,147 --> 00:50:30,067 Speaker 11: it's pretty amazing. Anyone who follows football knows how hard 1012 00:50:30,067 --> 00:50:31,867 Speaker 11: it is to keep that sort of thing going, and 1013 00:50:32,307 --> 00:50:36,347 Speaker 11: the Defenders club in particular, we're just loving the fact 1014 00:50:36,347 --> 00:50:39,147 Speaker 11: that they hadn't conceded, so for one of them to 1015 00:50:39,147 --> 00:50:42,307 Speaker 11: be at fault, they took it pretty hard. And also 1016 00:50:42,347 --> 00:50:46,227 Speaker 11: because they'd made it till the eighty first eighty second minute, 1017 00:50:46,227 --> 00:50:48,347 Speaker 11: hadn't they So so we're all we're going to do 1018 00:50:48,427 --> 00:50:55,027 Speaker 11: it again. But it does show the just the level 1019 00:50:55,387 --> 00:50:58,267 Speaker 11: that Auckland have brought to this in terms of the standards. 1020 00:50:58,347 --> 00:51:01,387 Speaker 11: You know, they look back to your other question, it 1021 00:51:01,467 --> 00:51:04,667 Speaker 11: is quite amazing, not just the fact that Auckland have 1022 00:51:04,747 --> 00:51:08,147 Speaker 11: built this fan base, but also what they built on 1023 00:51:08,187 --> 00:51:11,547 Speaker 11: the field. You know, they've built this culture, this cohesion, 1024 00:51:11,627 --> 00:51:15,067 Speaker 11: this environment. It sort of still feels to me this 1025 00:51:15,147 --> 00:51:19,267 Speaker 11: season that actually Wellington feel like the newer team. It 1026 00:51:19,347 --> 00:51:22,307 Speaker 11: feels that to me Wellington will take longer to gel 1027 00:51:22,547 --> 00:51:25,147 Speaker 11: this season and the Phoenix get a lot better, but 1028 00:51:25,187 --> 00:51:27,627 Speaker 11: they're still they're still gelling because they fair enough, they 1029 00:51:27,667 --> 00:51:30,627 Speaker 11: did have that massive turnover players in the off season. 1030 00:51:31,907 --> 00:51:35,867 Speaker 11: But yeah, it feels like Auckland have found their structure faster. 1031 00:51:36,907 --> 00:51:39,907 Speaker 2: After the game. In the postmatch media conference that you 1032 00:51:39,947 --> 00:51:43,027 Speaker 2: and I were both at, Auckland coach Steve Coricker called 1033 00:51:43,067 --> 00:51:47,307 Speaker 2: his Phoenix counterpart gim Calo Italiano disrespectful in the wake 1034 00:51:47,347 --> 00:51:50,067 Speaker 2: of some comments that Jihn Callo Italiana made during the week. 1035 00:51:50,747 --> 00:51:53,507 Speaker 2: Steve Corker said he used them as pre match motivation 1036 00:51:54,027 --> 00:51:56,947 Speaker 2: for his squad, pin them up on the dressing room wall, 1037 00:51:57,427 --> 00:51:59,267 Speaker 2: no less burds. What did you make of all of that? 1038 00:52:00,907 --> 00:52:03,667 Speaker 11: I mean, you know, for us in the media and 1039 00:52:03,667 --> 00:52:06,667 Speaker 11: for fans, it's great. And we talk about now arrative. 1040 00:52:06,787 --> 00:52:10,107 Speaker 11: This is another one, you know, the good old putting 1041 00:52:10,187 --> 00:52:11,867 Speaker 11: them up in the wall. We kind of thought those 1042 00:52:11,947 --> 00:52:14,267 Speaker 11: days were gone. You know, that's just sort of from 1043 00:52:14,307 --> 00:52:17,347 Speaker 11: the the eighties and nineties. Look at what those bastards. 1044 00:52:16,907 --> 00:52:18,147 Speaker 18: Said about us. 1045 00:52:18,147 --> 00:52:21,387 Speaker 11: But still it still works. And as Craker said in 1046 00:52:21,467 --> 00:52:26,947 Speaker 11: a derby, every little inch matters, and that was definitely 1047 00:52:27,707 --> 00:52:31,667 Speaker 11: definitely motivation. Uh and and you know the other thing 1048 00:52:31,707 --> 00:52:34,827 Speaker 11: about this is that gin Carlo and Steve, you know, 1049 00:52:34,867 --> 00:52:37,627 Speaker 11: they've they've known each other a long time. They're kind of, 1050 00:52:37,747 --> 00:52:39,387 Speaker 11: you know, they're not I guess they're not mates at 1051 00:52:39,387 --> 00:52:42,187 Speaker 11: the moment, but but they've been you know, acquaintances and 1052 00:52:42,267 --> 00:52:46,667 Speaker 11: kind of friends. So so that's probably what really got 1053 00:52:46,707 --> 00:52:48,627 Speaker 11: to Caracer as well, was he thought, wait a minute, 1054 00:52:48,627 --> 00:52:50,307 Speaker 11: you know, we we deserve a bit more respect. There 1055 00:52:50,347 --> 00:52:53,627 Speaker 11: was an interesting thing to say, but but I like 1056 00:52:53,707 --> 00:52:56,907 Speaker 11: gin Carlo because he's very honest. He's very honest, and 1057 00:52:56,947 --> 00:52:59,707 Speaker 11: that that definitely spiced up the derby. You wouldn't want 1058 00:52:59,747 --> 00:53:03,307 Speaker 11: him to lose a bit of their honesty. But yeah, 1059 00:53:03,307 --> 00:53:05,667 Speaker 11: I guess you can debate, you can debate his comments. 1060 00:53:05,987 --> 00:53:08,067 Speaker 11: The main thing he was saying, maybe the word lucky 1061 00:53:08,227 --> 00:53:10,627 Speaker 11: was a bit, a bit I'm not right to use, 1062 00:53:10,667 --> 00:53:13,587 Speaker 11: but he was mainly just saying that the Auckland have 1063 00:53:13,667 --> 00:53:16,547 Speaker 11: benefited from a from what he sees as a soft 1064 00:53:16,547 --> 00:53:19,787 Speaker 11: schedule to start the season, which has given them this 1065 00:53:19,787 --> 00:53:22,827 Speaker 11: this momentum. And obviously Corker took umbrage at that, as 1066 00:53:22,827 --> 00:53:25,827 Speaker 11: well as some other comments. But yeah, that that topped 1067 00:53:25,827 --> 00:53:27,747 Speaker 11: off the night, didn't it, Because you've got things that 1068 00:53:27,827 --> 00:53:30,227 Speaker 11: you just do not normally hear coaches say. 1069 00:53:30,267 --> 00:53:33,027 Speaker 2: In New Zealand Sports absolutely gonna play Cracker's comments in 1070 00:53:33,067 --> 00:53:35,747 Speaker 2: just a moment, just to finish thy burge. Are Auckland 1071 00:53:35,827 --> 00:53:38,907 Speaker 2: FC actually title contenders in their first season? 1072 00:53:41,587 --> 00:53:45,907 Speaker 11: Yeah? We we probably didn't think that. You know, I 1073 00:53:45,907 --> 00:53:48,707 Speaker 11: remember speaking to you about this a few months ago, Piney, 1074 00:53:48,747 --> 00:53:50,867 Speaker 11: and we sort of thought, you know, they've got a 1075 00:53:50,867 --> 00:53:54,667 Speaker 11: good roster. But you know, it's way too much to ask. Look, 1076 00:53:54,707 --> 00:53:59,147 Speaker 11: it's it's way too early to to really know. But 1077 00:54:00,467 --> 00:54:03,187 Speaker 11: they've done everything they can to be taken seriously. I mean, 1078 00:54:03,467 --> 00:54:06,027 Speaker 11: there's a couple of things you'd say. Number one, no 1079 00:54:06,107 --> 00:54:08,467 Speaker 11: team is going to want look forward to coming to 1080 00:54:08,507 --> 00:54:11,067 Speaker 11: Mount Smart and there's really not many teams that you 1081 00:54:11,107 --> 00:54:13,547 Speaker 11: can see that are going to take points from Mount 1082 00:54:13,587 --> 00:54:18,187 Speaker 11: Smart if Auckland keep up these levels. You know, Auckland 1083 00:54:18,467 --> 00:54:21,867 Speaker 11: they've got big tests away in Melbourne City this week, 1084 00:54:21,907 --> 00:54:24,067 Speaker 11: but if they get through that and they've got Western 1085 00:54:24,147 --> 00:54:26,187 Speaker 11: United at home the week after, they'll they'll get past 1086 00:54:26,267 --> 00:54:30,067 Speaker 11: Christmas still unbeaten. So you know, momentum is a big thing. 1087 00:54:30,587 --> 00:54:32,907 Speaker 11: At some stage, they'll hit the wall with injuries with 1088 00:54:32,987 --> 00:54:36,107 Speaker 11: maybe a suspension. And also they look like a they 1089 00:54:36,147 --> 00:54:38,907 Speaker 11: look like a super fit team. The fitness base has 1090 00:54:38,907 --> 00:54:41,467 Speaker 11: been incredible, and sometimes when you're so fit to start 1091 00:54:41,507 --> 00:54:45,307 Speaker 11: the season, at some point later in the season, maybe 1092 00:54:45,427 --> 00:54:48,587 Speaker 11: you know that that takes a toll. But you'd have 1093 00:54:48,667 --> 00:54:52,507 Speaker 11: to say they are there in the mix. And the 1094 00:54:52,587 --> 00:54:54,507 Speaker 11: thing that the scary thing is for their opponents is 1095 00:54:55,347 --> 00:54:56,667 Speaker 11: you know they're only going to get better. 1096 00:54:58,907 --> 00:55:01,587 Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, a frightening thought. Hey, Bird's great to see yesterday. 1097 00:55:01,587 --> 00:55:03,507 Speaker 2: Thanks for taking agg all this afternoon. We'll see in 1098 00:55:03,507 --> 00:55:04,387 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. 1099 00:55:04,867 --> 00:55:06,787 Speaker 11: Yeah, thanks Pinning, Thanks a lot, mate. 1100 00:55:06,787 --> 00:55:08,667 Speaker 2: Michael Burger just read ham at enzit hereld dot co 1101 00:55:08,747 --> 00:55:09,187 Speaker 2: dot z. 1102 00:55:09,387 --> 00:55:09,547 Speaker 18: Yes. 1103 00:55:09,587 --> 00:55:13,547 Speaker 2: Steve Corcis comments afterwards. Here they are. Jim Caloteliano had 1104 00:55:13,547 --> 00:55:16,707 Speaker 2: said during the weeks, as Michael Burgess just pointed out 1105 00:55:16,707 --> 00:55:19,907 Speaker 2: that he thought Auckland had been lucky in the first 1106 00:55:19,947 --> 00:55:23,147 Speaker 2: six six games of the season, or the first five 1107 00:55:23,187 --> 00:55:26,507 Speaker 2: games up until yesterday. Here was Steve coracis response to 1108 00:55:26,587 --> 00:55:28,267 Speaker 2: that after yesterday's game. 1109 00:55:28,587 --> 00:55:30,387 Speaker 19: Yeah, I'm a little bit disappointed, to be honest with you. 1110 00:55:30,467 --> 00:55:33,067 Speaker 19: With Chief you mentioned a couple of things in the 1111 00:55:33,107 --> 00:55:37,107 Speaker 19: media which you know a little bit disrespectful to our team. 1112 00:55:37,307 --> 00:55:39,667 Speaker 19: You know that they were there for the taking. We've 1113 00:55:39,667 --> 00:55:42,507 Speaker 19: been lucky. We haven't been lucky. You know, you need 1114 00:55:42,547 --> 00:55:45,187 Speaker 19: a little bit of luck obviously to win games, but 1115 00:55:46,427 --> 00:55:48,907 Speaker 19: we won all six, so you know you don't get 1116 00:55:48,947 --> 00:55:51,707 Speaker 19: lucky by doing that. There's you know, the process you 1117 00:55:51,747 --> 00:55:55,707 Speaker 19: have to go through. Obviously we've had a few home 1118 00:55:55,747 --> 00:55:58,987 Speaker 19: games early on, but at the back end of the 1119 00:55:58,987 --> 00:56:00,707 Speaker 19: season we still have to play the same amount of 1120 00:56:00,747 --> 00:56:04,627 Speaker 19: games away from homes. And I don't make the rules, 1121 00:56:04,787 --> 00:56:09,187 Speaker 19: don't I don't do the draws. Obviously, you know we 1122 00:56:09,187 --> 00:56:12,467 Speaker 19: were the better team, and you know I use that 1123 00:56:12,507 --> 00:56:16,467 Speaker 19: in motivation for the boys as well because it helps helps. 1124 00:56:16,627 --> 00:56:20,427 Speaker 19: Every little inch helps in derby games, pinned up on 1125 00:56:20,427 --> 00:56:22,507 Speaker 19: the wall to make sure the players saw it, because 1126 00:56:22,667 --> 00:56:25,067 Speaker 19: you know, we haven't been lucky. We've we've been working 1127 00:56:25,147 --> 00:56:29,027 Speaker 19: hard for these wins. We've been playing good football. There's 1128 00:56:29,027 --> 00:56:34,027 Speaker 19: probably a little bit out of wasn't necessary needed. You know, 1129 00:56:34,107 --> 00:56:36,907 Speaker 19: I think they're a good football team. We respect then, 1130 00:56:38,707 --> 00:56:39,947 Speaker 19: you know, I think he needs to show only a 1131 00:56:39,987 --> 00:56:40,947 Speaker 19: bit more respect for us. 1132 00:56:41,147 --> 00:56:43,507 Speaker 2: That is the voice of Steve Coriker, head coach of 1133 00:56:43,587 --> 00:56:47,027 Speaker 2: Auckland FC, after their win their second win over Wellington 1134 00:56:47,027 --> 00:56:50,227 Speaker 2: Phoenix yesterday to retain their perfect record. Kevin says on 1135 00:56:50,267 --> 00:56:52,547 Speaker 2: text pine I'm a diet in the world rugby fanatic. 1136 00:56:52,907 --> 00:56:55,707 Speaker 2: I'll watch probably only my second ever game of New 1137 00:56:55,787 --> 00:56:58,747 Speaker 2: Zealand football yesterday and loved every minute of it. Long 1138 00:56:58,827 --> 00:57:02,307 Speaker 2: live the special rivalry. Yep, so true, Kevin. And can 1139 00:57:02,347 --> 00:57:05,027 Speaker 2: I just give a quick shout out to a guy 1140 00:57:05,027 --> 00:57:06,507 Speaker 2: I didn't think I'll be giving a shout out to 1141 00:57:06,587 --> 00:57:09,547 Speaker 2: today with regard to the football, and that is Jeff Wilson. 1142 00:57:10,387 --> 00:57:14,747 Speaker 2: We'll know Goldie Jeff Wilson, rugby commentator, rugby host on 1143 00:57:14,787 --> 00:57:17,467 Speaker 2: the Breakdown, And yeah, well you know Jeff Wilson, former 1144 00:57:17,507 --> 00:57:21,547 Speaker 2: All Black legend. He found out yesterday morning at ten 1145 00:57:21,587 --> 00:57:26,547 Speaker 2: o'clock that, due to some circumstances beyond everybody's control, we'd 1146 00:57:26,587 --> 00:57:30,107 Speaker 2: lost one of the team that normally presents on Sky Sport. 1147 00:57:30,747 --> 00:57:32,627 Speaker 2: They rung Jeff Wilson up and said, Jeff, can you 1148 00:57:32,667 --> 00:57:33,667 Speaker 2: help us out? 1149 00:57:34,027 --> 00:57:34,347 Speaker 7: Well? 1150 00:57:34,787 --> 00:57:37,827 Speaker 2: I thought he did a superb job. What a pro, 1151 00:57:38,827 --> 00:57:41,787 Speaker 2: you know, with only a few hours preparation. Normally you 1152 00:57:41,827 --> 00:57:45,787 Speaker 2: find these things out weeks in advance.

I mean there's so many guys playing well 1186 00:59:21,907 --> 00:59:25,827 Speaker 20: and getting some experience all over the world. So all 1187 00:59:25,867 --> 00:59:27,307 Speaker 20: I can say is is just come out and support 1188 00:59:27,307 --> 00:59:29,667 Speaker 20: the Kiwis and I think it's I think we're due 1189 00:59:29,707 --> 00:59:32,267 Speaker 20: and let's let's get a Kiwi champion. 1190 00:59:32,307 --> 00:59:34,587 Speaker 2: Ehe absolutely well. Your game seems to be in the 1191 00:59:34,587 --> 00:59:38,227 Speaker 2: perfect place to achieve at twenty twenty four, another superb 1192 00:59:38,347 --> 00:59:41,027 Speaker 2: year for you. What are the main reasons for your 1193 00:59:41,907 --> 00:59:44,227 Speaker 2: excellent consistency on the Champions Tour. 1194 00:59:45,227 --> 00:59:47,507 Speaker 20: Yeah, well, I think you know, I'm that was my 1195 00:59:47,627 --> 00:59:50,187 Speaker 20: third full season now, so you know, I'm coming on 1196 00:59:50,227 --> 00:59:52,267 Speaker 20: the swing of it. I know the golf courses and 1197 00:59:53,147 --> 00:59:56,227 Speaker 20: you know the competition I'm up against. There's always some 1198 00:59:56,427 --> 00:59:58,747 Speaker 20: rookies coming on. We say rookies in a fifth year old, 1199 00:59:58,827 --> 01:00:01,107 Speaker 20: but we've got we've got that, We've got the young 1200 01:00:01,187 --> 01:00:03,587 Speaker 20: We've got the young guys coming on and they're they're 1201 01:00:03,627 --> 01:00:06,627 Speaker 20: pretty hungry and wanting to win, so coming to is 1202 01:00:06,627 --> 01:00:09,947 Speaker 20: getting better. So I think that's actually it feels like 1203 01:00:09,987 --> 01:00:12,907 Speaker 20: it's motivated in me at least to get a little 1204 01:00:12,947 --> 01:00:16,467 Speaker 20: bit better and just get the consistency and try and 1205 01:00:16,827 --> 01:00:18,987 Speaker 20: give myself a chance to win every week, and that's 1206 01:00:19,027 --> 01:00:21,787 Speaker 20: going to help my game and I certainly with my consistency. Anyway, 1207 01:00:21,827 --> 01:00:23,987 Speaker 20: it's been it's been one of those seasons. It's been 1208 01:00:24,387 --> 01:00:27,627 Speaker 20: ready consistently, had a lot of chances to win in 1209 01:00:27,667 --> 01:00:29,747 Speaker 20: the thick of it, and just you know, very very 1210 01:00:29,787 --> 01:00:31,307 Speaker 20: fortunate to get up at the end. So there's always 1211 01:00:31,307 --> 01:00:33,347 Speaker 20: a little bit lack involved, but it was it was 1212 01:00:33,427 --> 01:00:35,867 Speaker 20: nice to snatch another year end title. 1213 01:00:36,307 --> 01:00:39,147 Speaker 2: How differently are you playing now compared to when you 1214 01:00:39,187 --> 01:00:39,707 Speaker 2: were younger. 1215 01:00:43,067 --> 01:00:46,707 Speaker 20: Yeah, differently in the fact that I think I've got 1216 01:00:46,707 --> 01:00:49,427 Speaker 20: a lot more freedom when I'm on the golf course now. 1217 01:00:49,507 --> 01:00:52,347 Speaker 20: You know, I might not worry about things as much. 1218 01:00:52,387 --> 01:00:54,667 Speaker 20: You know, I'm getting older and just matured better. So 1219 01:00:55,307 --> 01:00:59,987 Speaker 20: that's certainly one thing. And you know, I practice smarter 1220 01:01:00,067 --> 01:01:02,547 Speaker 20: and you're getting older and the body that can't take 1221 01:01:02,547 --> 01:01:05,067 Speaker 20: it as much, so I don't. I don't practice as much, 1222 01:01:05,107 --> 01:01:08,187 Speaker 20: but I probably practice smart. So I should have started that, 1223 01:01:08,227 --> 01:01:10,107 Speaker 20: like twenty five thirty years ago, mate, I would have 1224 01:01:10,147 --> 01:01:10,587 Speaker 20: been a right. 1225 01:01:11,907 --> 01:01:15,667 Speaker 2: Are you perhaps less hard on yourself now compared to 1226 01:01:15,707 --> 01:01:16,867 Speaker 2: earlier in your career? 1227 01:01:17,227 --> 01:01:18,987 Speaker 18: Yes, yeah, definitely definitely. 1228 01:01:18,987 --> 01:01:21,187 Speaker 20: And you know if I if I go back, you know, 1229 01:01:21,227 --> 01:01:25,187 Speaker 20: twenty five years and give myself some advice, that would 1230 01:01:25,187 --> 01:01:26,947 Speaker 20: be definitely one thing that I would do. 1231 01:01:27,067 --> 01:01:28,747 Speaker 18: And you know. 1232 01:01:28,707 --> 01:01:31,787 Speaker 20: That's right when I'm talking to other Kiwis or youngsters, 1233 01:01:31,827 --> 01:01:33,707 Speaker 20: you know, try and to install that into them because 1234 01:01:34,347 --> 01:01:36,307 Speaker 20: golf is such a game. Well every sport is now 1235 01:01:36,347 --> 01:01:39,307 Speaker 20: it's so competitive, but golf more so. You just you know, 1236 01:01:39,307 --> 01:01:41,907 Speaker 20: it's a mental game and you want to you want 1237 01:01:41,947 --> 01:01:44,707 Speaker 20: to just beat yourself up sometimes for not doing what 1238 01:01:45,107 --> 01:01:48,027 Speaker 20: you want to do and you know, it's it becomes 1239 01:01:48,067 --> 01:01:50,267 Speaker 20: a tough game and it wears on your pretty well. 1240 01:01:50,347 --> 01:01:53,467 Speaker 20: So yeah, if you can, I think I'm doing that better. 1241 01:01:53,507 --> 01:01:56,427 Speaker 20: You know, I'm not so hard on myself, and I 1242 01:01:56,427 --> 01:01:59,627 Speaker 20: think the environment I'm in now actually helps with that, 1243 01:01:59,707 --> 01:02:01,827 Speaker 20: you know, playing with the guys and it's a little 1244 01:02:01,827 --> 01:02:04,507 Speaker 20: more relaxed. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's competitive, 1245 01:02:04,547 --> 01:02:08,187 Speaker 20: but just just that environment and is huge and I'm 1246 01:02:08,307 --> 01:02:10,147 Speaker 20: enjoying it, you know. That's that's the big thing, just 1247 01:02:10,147 --> 01:02:10,947 Speaker 20: just trying to enjoy it. 1248 01:02:11,267 --> 01:02:14,947 Speaker 2: Can that realization and self awareness really only come with experience, though, Steve? 1249 01:02:14,947 --> 01:02:17,467 Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's great advice, and I'm sure any 1250 01:02:17,467 --> 01:02:19,667 Speaker 2: golfer of any age would love to be able to 1251 01:02:19,707 --> 01:02:22,147 Speaker 2: not be that hard on themselves. But can that only 1252 01:02:22,187 --> 01:02:23,827 Speaker 2: come through maturity? 1253 01:02:23,827 --> 01:02:24,307 Speaker 12: If you like? 1254 01:02:25,187 --> 01:02:26,427 Speaker 18: Yeah, a little bit. 1255 01:02:26,467 --> 01:02:28,947 Speaker 20: But I think that the young guys coming out now, 1256 01:02:28,987 --> 01:02:31,387 Speaker 20: I've got a lot more of that. I think they've 1257 01:02:31,387 --> 01:02:34,387 Speaker 20: got they've got better at that. You look at the 1258 01:02:34,427 --> 01:02:37,987 Speaker 20: young guys and in the world of golf now, there's 1259 01:02:37,987 --> 01:02:41,067 Speaker 20: there's a lot of really really good young players. I 1260 01:02:41,107 --> 01:02:43,907 Speaker 20: mean that the talents is incredible and it's got a 1261 01:02:43,947 --> 01:02:46,787 Speaker 20: lot closer and I think guys are just getting better 1262 01:02:46,827 --> 01:02:49,387 Speaker 20: at that, and they're just they're trying to They're out 1263 01:02:49,387 --> 01:02:49,867 Speaker 20: there to win. 1264 01:02:50,947 --> 01:02:51,147 Speaker 18: You know. 1265 01:02:51,307 --> 01:02:53,347 Speaker 20: I think when I got out there and first started, 1266 01:02:53,387 --> 01:02:55,627 Speaker 20: I kind of felt like I need a year or 1267 01:02:55,667 --> 01:02:58,107 Speaker 20: two to kind of get get get my feet and 1268 01:02:58,707 --> 01:03:01,427 Speaker 20: feelm away. But now the guys just coming out and 1269 01:03:01,427 --> 01:03:04,307 Speaker 20: they're ready. They're coming out of college or they're they're 1270 01:03:04,387 --> 01:03:07,427 Speaker 20: they're getting some experience that we kind of never had 1271 01:03:07,667 --> 01:03:10,147 Speaker 20: and they're ready to go. And I think that that's 1272 01:03:10,147 --> 01:03:12,627 Speaker 20: a mental thing that's that's changed a lot in the 1273 01:03:12,627 --> 01:03:13,547 Speaker 20: young guys for sure. 1274 01:03:14,227 --> 01:03:17,747 Speaker 2: And so as you've gotten more experienced, have you focused 1275 01:03:17,787 --> 01:03:20,627 Speaker 2: more now on the efficiency of your shots compared to 1276 01:03:20,627 --> 01:03:21,707 Speaker 2: say your clubhead speed? 1277 01:03:23,027 --> 01:03:26,547 Speaker 20: Yeah, definitely. I kind of feel like the speed is 1278 01:03:26,587 --> 01:03:28,427 Speaker 20: going to be what it is. You know, I've got 1279 01:03:28,467 --> 01:03:31,227 Speaker 20: to a point where, hey, I'm not gonna I'm not 1280 01:03:31,267 --> 01:03:34,267 Speaker 20: going to get to Padrick Harrington's speed or you know, 1281 01:03:34,587 --> 01:03:37,307 Speaker 20: a Scottish Schefflers speed. I'm not going to get there. 1282 01:03:37,427 --> 01:03:41,187 Speaker 20: So mine's more about efficiency. You know, my iron play 1283 01:03:41,747 --> 01:03:44,227 Speaker 20: is improved, that's the probably the biggest part of my 1284 01:03:44,267 --> 01:03:47,947 Speaker 20: game has improved the last four or five years, which has. 1285 01:03:47,827 --> 01:03:48,427 Speaker 18: Helped me score. 1286 01:03:48,467 --> 01:03:50,707 Speaker 20: And then you know, year and year out, my short 1287 01:03:50,707 --> 01:03:53,787 Speaker 20: game seems to be there and getting better, and my 1288 01:03:53,827 --> 01:03:57,667 Speaker 20: putting has been more consistent, and I drive it straight anyway, 1289 01:03:57,747 --> 01:04:01,027 Speaker 20: So you know, all that kind of adds up to 1290 01:04:01,667 --> 01:04:05,147 Speaker 20: pretty consistent, efficient stuff, and so I try to be 1291 01:04:05,227 --> 01:04:07,387 Speaker 20: more that way, And that's that's why I don't practice 1292 01:04:07,427 --> 01:04:09,587 Speaker 20: as much now. I kind of focus on the same 1293 01:04:09,667 --> 01:04:12,667 Speaker 20: things and just try to keep doing what I've been 1294 01:04:12,707 --> 01:04:15,147 Speaker 20: doing and just try and do it just a little 1295 01:04:15,187 --> 01:04:15,587 Speaker 20: bit better. 1296 01:04:15,627 --> 01:04:18,667 Speaker 2: You know, you're still looking supremely fit as well, annoyingly 1297 01:04:18,747 --> 01:04:21,267 Speaker 2: for those of us in our fifties and our fifty steeps. 1298 01:04:23,187 --> 01:04:25,787 Speaker 2: But do you joking aside, do you have to work 1299 01:04:25,827 --> 01:04:28,787 Speaker 2: on your fitness anymore now than perhaps earlier. 1300 01:04:28,467 --> 01:04:28,987 Speaker 3: In your career. 1301 01:04:29,827 --> 01:04:33,747 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think so, just to maintain things, you know, 1302 01:04:33,987 --> 01:04:38,747 Speaker 20: to not have that bare belly and just try and 1303 01:04:38,987 --> 01:04:41,307 Speaker 20: stay in shape, get around the golf course and actually 1304 01:04:41,347 --> 01:04:44,587 Speaker 20: feel good day to day. I think that's the hardest thing. Like, 1305 01:04:44,987 --> 01:04:46,787 Speaker 20: you know, we only play three rounds now, but we're 1306 01:04:46,827 --> 01:04:49,067 Speaker 20: still traveling and you know, in and out of hotels 1307 01:04:49,067 --> 01:04:52,987 Speaker 20: and airports, and we're still doing a full week. So 1308 01:04:53,547 --> 01:04:55,907 Speaker 20: if you can stay fit, just to just to do 1309 01:04:55,987 --> 01:04:57,907 Speaker 20: that part of it, and stay in shape and feel 1310 01:04:57,947 --> 01:04:59,147 Speaker 20: good when you go to the golf course. 1311 01:04:59,187 --> 01:04:59,907 Speaker 18: That's the main thing. 1312 01:04:59,947 --> 01:05:03,307 Speaker 20: But but for me, it's all about you know, I 1313 01:05:03,347 --> 01:05:04,907 Speaker 20: want to stay in shape.

Who would have thought? Who 1485 01:12:54,307 --> 01:12:54,907 Speaker 2: would have thought? 1486 01:12:54,907 --> 01:12:55,067 Speaker 18: Hey? 1487 01:12:55,067 --> 01:12:56,707 Speaker 2: Did you enjoy the Derby yesterday? 1488 01:12:57,707 --> 01:13:02,227 Speaker 7: I love the Derby, the biggest already the biggest domestic 1489 01:13:02,267 --> 01:13:05,467 Speaker 7: event in New Zealand sport. Right that's twenty six thousand. 1490 01:13:06,587 --> 01:13:10,067 Speaker 7: The noise of fan Fair just the best atmosphere. I 1491 01:13:10,067 --> 01:13:13,907 Speaker 7: actually caught the train with the Yellow Fever only three carriages, 1492 01:13:13,947 --> 01:13:17,707 Speaker 7: though Auckland Transport or whoever we should help could have 1493 01:13:17,787 --> 01:13:20,987 Speaker 7: done with a few more. But even then they just 1494 01:13:21,027 --> 01:13:25,307 Speaker 7: set the tone in great fan base from both both sides. 1495 01:13:25,707 --> 01:13:28,867 Speaker 7: But having said that the Yellow Fever, some of their 1496 01:13:28,867 --> 01:13:31,427 Speaker 7: anti Auckland songs were a little close to the bone. 1497 01:13:31,427 --> 01:13:35,107 Speaker 7: For example, you're always stuck in traffic, You're always stuck 1498 01:13:35,147 --> 01:13:36,987 Speaker 7: in traffic. That won't really hurt. 1499 01:13:37,507 --> 01:13:39,787 Speaker 2: Well, it is accurate though, it's fact based. 1500 01:13:40,187 --> 01:13:43,387 Speaker 5: Yeah it is. But what a game though, pony Oh. 1501 01:13:43,387 --> 01:13:46,947 Speaker 2: A great game, a brilliant occasion. But on the grass, 1502 01:13:47,107 --> 01:13:50,667 Speaker 2: you know, this rivalry is real. I thought Costa Barbarusis 1503 01:13:51,387 --> 01:13:54,627 Speaker 2: has finish was excellent. I still wonder about Auckland and look, 1504 01:13:54,627 --> 01:13:56,587 Speaker 2: they won the game and absolutely deserve to win the game, 1505 01:13:56,627 --> 01:13:58,547 Speaker 2: but an own goal and a goal by Nander Pineker, 1506 01:13:58,587 --> 01:14:01,067 Speaker 2: a center back, they're not they have They got the 1507 01:14:01,107 --> 01:14:02,947 Speaker 2: cutting edge up top that they'll be after. 1508 01:14:04,107 --> 01:14:04,587 Speaker 5: That's the thing. 1509 01:14:04,667 --> 01:14:06,307 Speaker 7: I think they should have had more shots on goal. 1510 01:14:06,427 --> 01:14:08,507 Speaker 7: They did boss the game Auckland FC, so I think 1511 01:14:08,507 --> 01:14:11,787 Speaker 7: we can safely say the best team won, but they'll 1512 01:14:11,867 --> 01:14:15,187 Speaker 7: be I'm sure Steve Coriker will be annoyed with maybe 1513 01:14:15,227 --> 01:14:18,827 Speaker 7: just their hesitancy in front of goal. You know, they 1514 01:14:18,867 --> 01:14:21,467 Speaker 7: just need to pull the trigger a bit quicker. But 1515 01:14:21,507 --> 01:14:24,107 Speaker 7: there was also I mean it's pretty clear Hiroki Saka, 1516 01:14:24,267 --> 01:14:27,867 Speaker 7: the Auckland captain it right back, is probably the best 1517 01:14:27,867 --> 01:14:29,907 Speaker 7: player in the A League. You know, he could still 1518 01:14:29,907 --> 01:14:32,787 Speaker 7: play for any club in the world. Obviously played for Marseille. 1519 01:14:33,187 --> 01:14:35,427 Speaker 7: But there was just some I mean, that own goal 1520 01:14:35,547 --> 01:14:39,387 Speaker 7: was crazy. I mean, poor Isaac cues the perfect hitter 1521 01:14:39,467 --> 01:14:43,587 Speaker 7: into his own nets. But you could see with Kraker, 1522 01:14:43,627 --> 01:14:46,747 Speaker 7: he was on your show just before saying that they 1523 01:14:46,867 --> 01:14:51,787 Speaker 7: used the chiefees comments as motivation, that they were lucky 1524 01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:53,347 Speaker 7: with the drawer, you know FC. 1525 01:14:53,947 --> 01:14:56,187 Speaker 5: And it just shows that it's a real battle of 1526 01:14:56,227 --> 01:14:56,667 Speaker 5: the derby. 1527 01:14:56,667 --> 01:14:58,747 Speaker 7: It's not like a normal game of football where you 1528 01:14:58,827 --> 01:15:00,387 Speaker 7: turn up and just think, oh, this is going to 1529 01:15:00,387 --> 01:15:02,827 Speaker 7: be fun. They're really fired up, you know. It's like 1530 01:15:02,907 --> 01:15:05,507 Speaker 7: smelling salts and UFC sort of preparation. 1531 01:15:05,667 --> 01:15:08,947 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. I love it. It's already bubbling away. 1532 01:15:09,027 --> 01:15:14,947 Speaker 2: Can't wait for the next one. In February, Chris Wood underrated, underappreciated. 1533 01:15:14,987 --> 01:15:17,667 Speaker 2: I'm not sure that he is. I think we all appreciate, 1534 01:15:18,147 --> 01:15:21,067 Speaker 2: you know, how good he is, but do we all 1535 01:15:21,147 --> 01:15:24,427 Speaker 2: like really grasp the magnitude of what he is achieving 1536 01:15:24,587 --> 01:15:26,827 Speaker 2: at this later stage of his career. 1537 01:15:28,187 --> 01:15:30,187 Speaker 7: We probably don't understand how big a deal. I mean, 1538 01:15:30,227 --> 01:15:35,347 Speaker 7: already double figures before Christmas. He's on target to get 1539 01:15:35,387 --> 01:15:38,587 Speaker 7: twenty odd goals with season and challenge for the Golden Boot. 1540 01:15:38,667 --> 01:15:42,867 Speaker 7: I mean, Chris Wood. It's the confidence really that he shows. 1541 01:15:42,947 --> 01:15:45,587 Speaker 7: I think you know, if you the faith that Nottingham 1542 01:15:45,627 --> 01:15:48,627 Speaker 7: Forests have put in him by saying you're starting number nine, 1543 01:15:48,667 --> 01:15:50,907 Speaker 7: he just keeps on repaying it. I mean, he didn't 1544 01:15:50,907 --> 01:15:53,107 Speaker 7: score many goals at Newcastle because they just didn't rate 1545 01:15:53,187 --> 01:15:55,427 Speaker 7: him the way that Forest does. And as soon as 1546 01:15:55,427 --> 01:15:58,587 Speaker 7: they did that, not only is he transforming their team, 1547 01:15:58,627 --> 01:16:01,587 Speaker 7: I think he's transforming the league and so they will 1548 01:16:01,627 --> 01:16:06,147 Speaker 7: be looking to countries like New Zealand for a big strike, 1549 01:16:06,547 --> 01:16:09,187 Speaker 7: not going to be that shy about It's not always 1550 01:16:09,227 --> 01:16:11,947 Speaker 7: just going to be a little guy from Portugal, Okay, 1551 01:16:12,427 --> 01:16:15,587 Speaker 7: that he is. He's changing the way that EPL teams 1552 01:16:16,067 --> 01:16:18,267 Speaker 7: by players and scout players. 1553 01:16:18,507 --> 01:16:20,947 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great point because you know, there's there's 1554 01:16:20,987 --> 01:16:23,547 Speaker 2: more than one way to win a football match. Isn't 1555 01:16:23,547 --> 01:16:27,947 Speaker 2: there and his way is as effectives as any other one. 1556 01:16:28,027 --> 01:16:30,467 Speaker 2: Just bringing the table up now, Nottingham Forest are fifth, 1557 01:16:30,787 --> 01:16:33,987 Speaker 2: you know, Manchester United are currently down in thirteenth place. 1558 01:16:34,427 --> 01:16:37,107 Speaker 2: If you'd said, you know, after Forest play you know, 1559 01:16:37,107 --> 01:16:38,867 Speaker 2: if you said at the start of the season, after 1560 01:16:38,947 --> 01:16:41,307 Speaker 2: Forest play United in early December, one of the teams 1561 01:16:41,347 --> 01:16:43,187 Speaker 2: will be first and one will be thirteenth, you know 1562 01:16:43,227 --> 01:16:44,067 Speaker 2: what most people would have. 1563 01:16:44,027 --> 01:16:46,227 Speaker 5: Said, Oh exactly. 1564 01:16:46,307 --> 01:16:49,227 Speaker 7: And if you'd said that the top three goal scorers 1565 01:16:49,307 --> 01:16:51,387 Speaker 7: justis go say twenty years ago and you'd said that 1566 01:16:51,427 --> 01:16:53,627 Speaker 7: the top three goal scorers of the Premier League are 1567 01:16:53,667 --> 01:16:58,067 Speaker 7: going to be from Norway, Egypt and New Zealand, he 1568 01:16:58,107 --> 01:17:01,347 Speaker 7: would have got laughed out of town. That football is changing. 1569 01:17:01,427 --> 01:17:03,307 Speaker 7: It's very much a global game. And we're in the 1570 01:17:03,307 --> 01:17:04,547 Speaker 7: conversation I. 1571 01:17:04,547 --> 01:17:06,147 Speaker 2: Don't think we're favorite to win the cricket. 1572 01:17:07,587 --> 01:17:11,467 Speaker 7: Oh do you think I'm not hanging on to hope? 1573 01:17:11,547 --> 01:17:15,147 Speaker 2: There seventy seventy one for four, so we're almost under 1574 01:17:15,187 --> 01:17:17,267 Speaker 2: the five hundred needed to know. We are under the 1575 01:17:17,267 --> 01:17:20,067 Speaker 2: five hundred. The target's five eighty three. So no, we're not. 1576 01:17:20,107 --> 01:17:21,907 Speaker 2: We're not trying to do my maths on the on 1577 01:17:21,947 --> 01:17:24,987 Speaker 2: the hop here. Yeah, they're they're they're getting down to 1578 01:17:25,027 --> 01:17:26,907 Speaker 2: below five hundred, needed to win soon. 1579 01:17:28,107 --> 01:17:30,387 Speaker 7: Well it's appropriate they're playing at the basin because this 1580 01:17:30,507 --> 01:17:34,627 Speaker 7: Test series has gone now Mcgoglar, we can officially say that, 1581 01:17:35,027 --> 01:17:35,707 Speaker 7: or what's going down? 1582 01:17:35,787 --> 01:17:36,307 Speaker 5: Mcgoglar. 1583 01:17:37,187 --> 01:17:40,147 Speaker 7: It's a hangover after India. Really, I think they've got 1584 01:17:40,187 --> 01:17:41,027 Speaker 7: some selections wrong. 1585 01:17:41,107 --> 01:17:41,427 Speaker 5: Piney. 1586 01:17:41,467 --> 01:17:43,667 Speaker 7: I think Will Young should have been picked ahead of 1587 01:17:43,707 --> 01:17:45,947 Speaker 7: Devon Conway. I think we should have picked a spinner. 1588 01:17:46,987 --> 01:17:48,987 Speaker 7: Mitch Center was fit and I think they should have 1589 01:17:48,987 --> 01:17:52,587 Speaker 7: played him. I mean, the picks won't help him as 1590 01:17:52,627 --> 01:17:56,187 Speaker 7: much as Mumbai, but the guy's confidence has got to 1591 01:17:56,267 --> 01:17:59,027 Speaker 7: be sky high. And I think when you show those 1592 01:17:59,067 --> 01:18:01,107 Speaker 7: guys a bit like picking Chris Wood, when you show 1593 01:18:01,147 --> 01:18:04,707 Speaker 7: those guys that faith, you know they'll often repay you. 1594 01:18:04,787 --> 01:18:08,027 Speaker 7: So look at the conversely, look at English selections. They 1595 01:18:08,107 --> 01:18:10,867 Speaker 7: choose this guy Jacob Bethel hasn't scored a first class 1596 01:18:10,907 --> 01:18:14,107 Speaker 7: ton just missed out yesterday, so he's fresh, you know, 1597 01:18:14,187 --> 01:18:17,347 Speaker 7: twenty one years old. The spinner who's bowling right now 1598 01:18:17,987 --> 01:18:20,907 Speaker 7: made his first class. They do for Somerset last year, 1599 01:18:21,507 --> 01:18:24,707 Speaker 7: so it's just so much more bolden. Every single way 1600 01:18:24,787 --> 01:18:28,667 Speaker 7: tactic selections the works and of course Brendan mccullums behind 1601 01:18:28,787 --> 01:18:29,147 Speaker 7: a lot of. 1602 01:18:29,107 --> 01:18:31,787 Speaker 2: Them, almost all of that, and I just I wanted 1603 01:18:31,787 --> 01:18:34,827 Speaker 2: to mention her, and I'm glad you have because Brendan McCallum, 1604 01:18:34,907 --> 01:18:36,947 Speaker 2: during a game of cricket, sits up on the balcony, 1605 01:18:37,107 --> 01:18:40,187 Speaker 2: doesn't have an iPad, doesn't have a notebook, doesn't have 1606 01:18:40,187 --> 01:18:42,867 Speaker 2: a phone out that I can see, just sits there 1607 01:18:43,307 --> 01:18:46,547 Speaker 2: and watches the cricket. And I'm sure there's more to 1608 01:18:46,707 --> 01:18:48,387 Speaker 2: it than man. In fact, of course we know that 1609 01:18:48,427 --> 01:18:52,427 Speaker 2: there is. But whatever it is, whatever the secret sources 1610 01:18:52,467 --> 01:18:55,147 Speaker 2: that he's brought to this England team, I mean, wouldn't 1611 01:18:55,187 --> 01:18:56,707 Speaker 2: it be great if we had a bit of that. 1612 01:18:57,867 --> 01:19:00,747 Speaker 7: Yeah, we do need to think about I think the 1613 01:19:00,827 --> 01:19:02,387 Speaker 7: leadership and direction of the team. 1614 01:19:02,507 --> 01:19:03,587 Speaker 5: And let's wait. 1615 01:19:03,827 --> 01:19:07,547 Speaker 7: I mean, they obviously deserve a chance to to redeem themselves. 1616 01:19:07,547 --> 01:19:11,427 Speaker 7: The Third Test is not too far away, so I 1617 01:19:11,507 --> 01:19:14,707 Speaker 7: just want to see that they can perform and maybe 1618 01:19:14,747 --> 01:19:17,747 Speaker 7: recapture some of that mojo they had in India. Came 1619 01:19:17,787 --> 01:19:19,667 Speaker 7: Williamson was looking good there for a while and he 1620 01:19:19,787 --> 01:19:22,547 Speaker 7: just went past nine thousand runs and he will want 1621 01:19:22,587 --> 01:19:24,587 Speaker 7: to get to ten thousand, so I think we've got 1622 01:19:24,667 --> 01:19:27,667 Speaker 7: him for at least another calendar year, because even though 1623 01:19:27,707 --> 01:19:29,427 Speaker 7: he's quite low tea and will say, oh, you know, 1624 01:19:29,427 --> 01:19:31,827 Speaker 7: I don't care about stats. As soon as the player 1625 01:19:31,867 --> 01:19:34,787 Speaker 7: retires and writes a book, it's all about the stats. 1626 01:19:35,147 --> 01:19:36,947 Speaker 7: You know, you read it, and it's all they ever 1627 01:19:36,987 --> 01:19:39,307 Speaker 7: think about. They just learned to lie to us in 1628 01:19:39,347 --> 01:19:42,867 Speaker 7: the media during their career and that's impressive in itself really. 1629 01:19:43,907 --> 01:19:46,947 Speaker 2: And just before you go, what's there going to be 1630 01:19:46,987 --> 01:19:50,227 Speaker 2: a Raygun musical Raygun the Breakdowns from Paris? 1631 01:19:50,907 --> 01:19:52,827 Speaker 7: Yeah, well it's been shut down. So if you're buying 1632 01:19:52,867 --> 01:19:56,787 Speaker 7: your tickets to Ragun the musical in Sydney, the performer 1633 01:19:56,827 --> 01:20:00,947 Speaker 7: who was going to stage it has been slapped with 1634 01:20:01,467 --> 01:20:04,707 Speaker 7: an injunction from Raygun's lawyers threatening to sue.

Just quickly before the 1663 01:21:28,107 --> 01:21:30,827 Speaker 2: game yesterday, there's a for those who have ever been 1664 01:21:30,867 --> 01:21:33,067 Speaker 2: to go Media Stateium, there is a bar which is 1665 01:21:33,267 --> 01:21:37,107 Speaker 2: adjacent basically to the ground and you come down the 1666 01:21:37,147 --> 01:21:39,707 Speaker 2: steps and you know from the bar and you're basically 1667 01:21:39,747 --> 01:21:42,467 Speaker 2: in the ground. It's called Lily World. That is the 1668 01:21:42,547 --> 01:21:47,187 Speaker 2: name of the bar. And before the game yesterday the 1669 01:21:47,307 --> 01:21:53,787 Speaker 2: place was absolutely jumping, absolutely jumping. And at the risk 1670 01:21:53,827 --> 01:21:57,387 Speaker 2: of repeating the obvious point here, Auckland FC have done 1671 01:21:57,627 --> 01:22:00,947 Speaker 2: an absolutely superb job of building this fan base, and 1672 01:22:01,027 --> 01:22:03,547 Speaker 2: not just people who you know who come along and 1673 01:22:03,907 --> 01:22:06,787 Speaker 2: sit in a seat and watch the game, people who 1674 01:22:06,947 --> 01:22:10,867 Speaker 2: engage in the act of support that is a hallmark 1675 01:22:10,907 --> 01:22:14,307 Speaker 2: of football around the world.

It feels 1682 01:22:35,667 --> 01:22:41,307 Speaker 2: like something European or South American. It was just absolutely jumping. 1683 01:22:41,347 --> 01:22:44,907 Speaker 2: I can only again reiterate the fact that whoever is 1684 01:22:44,947 --> 01:22:50,307 Speaker 2: involved in fan engagement, community engagement, marketing, everything around this 1685 01:22:50,427 --> 01:22:54,507 Speaker 2: team deserves every piece of kudos that is coming their way, 1686 01:22:54,547 --> 01:22:58,787 Speaker 2: because everybody who was there yesterday would have been saying afterwards, 1687 01:22:59,307 --> 01:23:00,987 Speaker 2: when is the next game? 1688 01:23:01,987 --> 01:23:04,867 Speaker 1: The only place to discuss the biggest sports issues on 1689 01:23:05,267 --> 01:23:08,667 Speaker 1: and after field, It's all on WI James Ford with 1690 01:23:08,867 --> 01:23:13,627 Speaker 1: Jason Vane on your home of Sport in New York. 1691 01:23:15,147 --> 01:23:17,587 Speaker 2: Two o seven.

How do 1808 01:29:39,067 --> 01:29:42,987 Speaker 2: you reflect on your cricket career and it's totality first 1809 01:29:43,027 --> 01:29:45,867 Speaker 2: of all, when you think back to those many great moments. 1810 01:29:46,147 --> 01:29:47,867 Speaker 15: Oh, look, I had a wonderful time in the game 1811 01:29:47,907 --> 01:29:52,547 Speaker 15: of cricket in an eighteen year international career, a twenty 1812 01:29:52,627 --> 01:29:53,867 Speaker 15: year first class career. 1813 01:29:54,707 --> 01:29:56,667 Speaker 3: Very proud of what I've been able to achieve. 1814 01:29:56,787 --> 01:30:01,587 Speaker 15: There been a lot of significant milestones personally but collective 1815 01:30:01,627 --> 01:30:03,787 Speaker 15: for as a team too. Played in an era in 1816 01:30:03,827 --> 01:30:08,027 Speaker 15: the seventies and eighties when we were doing many firsts 1817 01:30:08,067 --> 01:30:10,187 Speaker 15: in the history of New Zealand cricket. When you beat 1818 01:30:10,227 --> 01:30:13,427 Speaker 15: Australia for the first time as we did at Lancaster 1819 01:30:13,547 --> 01:30:17,267 Speaker 15: Park seventy four, beating England for the first time at 1820 01:30:17,307 --> 01:30:20,027 Speaker 15: the base in Reserve and Wellington and seventy eight, and 1821 01:30:20,107 --> 01:30:24,267 Speaker 15: then we had significant first victories offshore beating England and 1822 01:30:24,347 --> 01:30:27,147 Speaker 15: eighty three at Headingly and then we had won the 1823 01:30:27,267 --> 01:30:31,147 Speaker 15: series there in eighty six and beating Australia and Australia 1824 01:30:31,187 --> 01:30:33,947 Speaker 15: for the first time in eighty five six the Gabatez 1825 01:30:34,267 --> 01:30:36,587 Speaker 15: went on to take the series to win. So those 1826 01:30:36,667 --> 01:30:42,027 Speaker 15: significant firsts will always outweigh personal milestones, and people tend 1827 01:30:42,067 --> 01:30:44,267 Speaker 15: to remember when you'd done things for the first time. 1828 01:30:45,067 --> 01:30:48,627 Speaker 15: But as far as runs and wickets, we're concerned if 1829 01:30:48,627 --> 01:30:50,667 Speaker 15: you play the games and you bowl the balls and 1830 01:30:51,227 --> 01:30:52,187 Speaker 15: you're going to get wickets. 1831 01:30:52,227 --> 01:30:54,427 Speaker 3: If you're out there batting, you're going to accumulate runs. 1832 01:30:54,867 --> 01:30:57,787 Speaker 15: And in my career accumulate a lot of runs and 1833 01:30:57,867 --> 01:31:00,267 Speaker 15: a lot of wickets, and I can look back with 1834 01:31:00,787 --> 01:31:04,187 Speaker 15: bond memories and great pride of what I was able 1835 01:31:04,267 --> 01:31:05,867 Speaker 15: to achieve. On an individual basis. 1836 01:31:06,427 --> 01:31:08,987 Speaker 2: We talk about some of those performances that I went 1837 01:31:09,067 --> 01:31:11,947 Speaker 2: over England out here for the first time nineteen seventy eight. 1838 01:31:12,907 --> 01:31:15,187 Speaker 2: You know, Richard Collins, obviously not to have a Jeff Boycott, 1839 01:31:15,227 --> 01:31:17,467 Speaker 2: but then you did the damage with six for twenty six. 1840 01:31:18,387 --> 01:31:21,387 Speaker 2: Where does that particular test rate beating England. 1841 01:31:22,227 --> 01:31:26,387 Speaker 15: Well, it was significant in fact, Richard Collins, we needed 1842 01:31:26,427 --> 01:31:28,987 Speaker 15: a miracle basically because we got bowled out cheaply in 1843 01:31:29,027 --> 01:31:32,107 Speaker 15: the second innings in England and you need one hundred 1844 01:31:32,107 --> 01:31:35,587 Speaker 15: and thirty seven to win and we were walking down 1845 01:31:36,307 --> 01:31:38,067 Speaker 15: the steps onto the field to play. 1846 01:31:37,867 --> 01:31:39,387 Speaker 3: And we're being booed at. 1847 01:31:39,467 --> 01:31:43,787 Speaker 15: We're being jaed a bit because the spectators are saying, 1848 01:31:43,827 --> 01:31:46,507 Speaker 15: where you're blowing again, New Zealand. You put yourself in 1849 01:31:46,587 --> 01:31:49,107 Speaker 15: a position of winning and you've just let the opposition 1850 01:31:49,307 --> 01:31:53,027 Speaker 15: back in the game. And I remember saying to Richard Collins, look, Rock, 1851 01:31:53,907 --> 01:31:56,987 Speaker 15: we need something sensational to happen. Well, the thing that 1852 01:31:57,147 --> 01:32:00,507 Speaker 15: was sensational was Coycott being knocked over for a duck, 1853 01:32:01,027 --> 01:32:03,347 Speaker 15: and so they were one for none and Rock picked 1854 01:32:03,427 --> 01:32:05,787 Speaker 15: up the first three wickets, so they were three for 1855 01:32:06,467 --> 01:32:09,627 Speaker 15: not many, and I hit Brian Rose on the elbow 1856 01:32:09,707 --> 01:32:12,067 Speaker 15: and he decided to use his elbow to hit the ball, 1857 01:32:12,787 --> 01:32:14,827 Speaker 15: and so I had to retire hurt, probably with a 1858 01:32:14,867 --> 01:32:19,147 Speaker 15: broken broken arm. So effectively they were four or five 1859 01:32:19,307 --> 01:32:23,067 Speaker 15: down for eighteen and Rocket done the damage and then 1860 01:32:23,107 --> 01:32:24,587 Speaker 15: I was able to come in on the back of 1861 01:32:24,667 --> 01:32:28,267 Speaker 15: it to pick up the next sort of four wickets. 1862 01:32:28,467 --> 01:32:30,667 Speaker 15: We had to come back the next day to mop 1863 01:32:30,787 --> 01:32:34,547 Speaker 15: up the tail, which took about thirty forty minutes or something, 1864 01:32:34,907 --> 01:32:36,707 Speaker 15: so I ended up with six. But the thing that 1865 01:32:36,907 --> 01:32:40,227 Speaker 15: was quite emotional for me is that my father had 1866 01:32:40,307 --> 01:32:45,067 Speaker 15: been involved with New Zealand creget since nineteen thirty seven 1867 01:32:45,107 --> 01:32:46,827 Speaker 15: when he were on the first tur of England, took 1868 01:32:46,867 --> 01:32:50,107 Speaker 15: the forty nine team to England as captain and then 1869 01:32:50,187 --> 01:32:53,107 Speaker 15: he was a board member and president of New Zealand 1870 01:32:53,147 --> 01:32:56,387 Speaker 15: Cricket and over the years he had never seen New 1871 01:32:56,507 --> 01:33:00,707 Speaker 15: Zealand beat England. And it took something like forty eight 1872 01:33:00,867 --> 01:33:03,387 Speaker 15: years from our first test in nineteen thirty forty eight 1873 01:33:03,507 --> 01:33:08,027 Speaker 15: tests to seventy eight to win that game against England 1874 01:33:08,267 --> 01:33:12,467 Speaker 15: and probably involved fifty tests that we're played against the 1875 01:33:12,587 --> 01:33:15,187 Speaker 15: other nation. So be able to do it not only 1876 01:33:15,267 --> 01:33:18,987 Speaker 15: for myself the team, but to fulfill an ambition dream 1877 01:33:19,067 --> 01:33:22,387 Speaker 15: for him made it even more significant. 1878 01:33:22,787 --> 01:33:24,787 Speaker 2: And what about wi can number three hundred out here? 1879 01:33:24,947 --> 01:33:28,227 Speaker 2: I sat on the bank patiently waiting for it to arrive. 1880 01:33:28,347 --> 01:33:29,787 Speaker 2: And I think it was in the middle of the 1881 01:33:29,827 --> 01:33:32,547 Speaker 2: middle session from memory that you finally got Alan Border lbw, 1882 01:33:32,867 --> 01:33:34,787 Speaker 2: Fred Gotdall got his finger up. I think it's still up. 1883 01:33:35,467 --> 01:33:36,947 Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you remember of that day? 1884 01:33:37,547 --> 01:33:42,667 Speaker 15: Well, going into that test, I think I needed one 1885 01:33:42,747 --> 01:33:45,467 Speaker 15: record to get to three hundred, and there's a lot 1886 01:33:45,547 --> 01:33:50,027 Speaker 15: of people wagering bets as to how many balls it 1887 01:33:50,067 --> 01:33:56,267 Speaker 15: would take, how long it would be media speculation, you know, 1888 01:33:56,787 --> 01:34:00,387 Speaker 15: creating a lot of interest basically, and obviously I was 1889 01:34:00,427 --> 01:34:03,147 Speaker 15: hoping to do it in the first spell, get it 1890 01:34:03,267 --> 01:34:04,387 Speaker 15: over and done with the players. 1891 01:34:04,427 --> 01:34:07,587 Speaker 3: We're aware of it. All they wanted was for me 1892 01:34:07,707 --> 01:34:09,587 Speaker 3: to get it out of the way so we can 1893 01:34:09,627 --> 01:34:10,387 Speaker 3: get on with the game. 1894 01:34:10,747 --> 01:34:14,427 Speaker 15: So mid afternoon something like that. Fred Goodll had his 1895 01:34:14,547 --> 01:34:16,027 Speaker 15: finger up before I even appealed. 1896 01:34:16,387 --> 01:34:17,347 Speaker 17: That was that dead. 1897 01:34:19,747 --> 01:34:23,907 Speaker 15: And so when you reach milestones like that, you're knocking 1898 01:34:23,947 --> 01:34:26,187 Speaker 15: off sort of targets or goals that you have. 1899 01:34:26,387 --> 01:34:29,827 Speaker 3: Because when I got that three hundred test wig, I 1900 01:34:29,987 --> 01:34:30,827 Speaker 3: was one of six. 1901 01:34:30,987 --> 01:34:34,587 Speaker 15: Now too got those those wigets, So I was in 1902 01:34:34,867 --> 01:34:37,387 Speaker 15: an elite group of bowlers in the history. 1903 01:34:37,107 --> 01:34:37,507 Speaker 23: Of the game. 1904 01:34:38,827 --> 01:34:40,867 Speaker 15: But I had to knock off five who were still 1905 01:34:40,947 --> 01:34:43,667 Speaker 15: in front of me. So over a period of years, 1906 01:34:43,747 --> 01:34:46,227 Speaker 15: another four or five years, you knock them off one 1907 01:34:46,267 --> 01:34:48,907 Speaker 15: at a time and you get pasty in both them, 1908 01:34:48,907 --> 01:34:53,467 Speaker 15: which I did in India twelfth and over nine eighty eight. 1909 01:34:53,987 --> 01:34:58,747 Speaker 15: Aaron Lale LBW remember it well. So that got me 1910 01:34:59,187 --> 01:35:02,067 Speaker 15: pasty in both and get the three seventy four and 1911 01:35:02,147 --> 01:35:04,387 Speaker 15: then there's only one goal left to keep me in 1912 01:35:04,467 --> 01:35:07,147 Speaker 15: the game, and that was to get four hundred. Me 1913 01:35:07,267 --> 01:35:10,147 Speaker 15: the first to do that, and that was my Everest. 1914 01:35:10,867 --> 01:35:15,027 Speaker 15: And it took me eighteen years to conker my Everest. 1915 01:35:15,227 --> 01:35:17,347 Speaker 15: I'm not sure how long it took Sad Hillary to 1916 01:35:17,627 --> 01:35:20,907 Speaker 15: conker is Everest. Who he might have taken, I don't know. 1917 01:35:21,107 --> 01:35:23,187 Speaker 15: Was it a week, ten days, two weeks, I don't know. 1918 01:35:23,507 --> 01:35:26,227 Speaker 15: It took me eighteen years to get to the top 1919 01:35:26,347 --> 01:35:29,667 Speaker 15: and then slither down the other side with retirement. 1920 01:35:29,827 --> 01:35:31,907 Speaker 3: So no, that would magic ties. 1921 01:35:32,507 --> 01:35:35,627 Speaker 2: And I must ask you about the gather nine for 1922 01:35:35,747 --> 01:35:38,707 Speaker 2: fifty two. I think I could probably recite the commentary 1923 01:35:38,747 --> 01:35:40,747 Speaker 2: of all nine wickets and in fact the tenth one 1924 01:35:41,027 --> 01:35:43,747 Speaker 2: Jeff Lawson caught by yourself off Vaughn Brown might have 1925 01:35:43,747 --> 01:35:46,827 Speaker 2: been his only Test wickt Vaughn Brown, you know, yeah, 1926 01:35:47,347 --> 01:35:50,187 Speaker 2: another very special Test match sicher Well, it. 1927 01:35:50,347 --> 01:35:53,547 Speaker 15: Was as far as the nine wickets were concerned, I 1928 01:35:53,667 --> 01:35:56,747 Speaker 15: had eight. I had eight in a row then I 1929 01:35:56,827 --> 01:35:59,067 Speaker 15: took the catch. It's not to give Vaughan Brown his 1930 01:35:59,187 --> 01:36:01,787 Speaker 15: first Test wigget and people off and asked when the 1931 01:36:01,827 --> 01:36:03,667 Speaker 15: ball went up in the air when Jeff laws And 1932 01:36:03,747 --> 01:36:05,787 Speaker 15: swept it. And I think I was feeling at mid 1933 01:36:05,907 --> 01:36:09,027 Speaker 15: rock on I had to do ten to twenty meters 1934 01:36:09,107 --> 01:36:10,787 Speaker 15: to catch it around mid wicket. 1935 01:36:11,107 --> 01:36:12,507 Speaker 3: People said, do you think of dropping it? 1936 01:36:12,947 --> 01:36:13,987 Speaker 5: And I said, n. 1937 01:36:15,907 --> 01:36:17,347 Speaker 3: What do you do if the ball goes up in 1938 01:36:17,427 --> 01:36:20,027 Speaker 3: the air. Of course you catch it, So that thought 1939 01:36:20,147 --> 01:36:22,947 Speaker 3: never entered my mind. So that happened now. 1940 01:36:22,987 --> 01:36:25,587 Speaker 15: I came back and got the last to make it 1941 01:36:25,707 --> 01:36:29,427 Speaker 15: ten and fortunate to get six wickets in the second innings. 1942 01:36:29,427 --> 01:36:32,467 Speaker 15: I had to work hard for that border of Matthew's 1943 01:36:32,507 --> 01:36:35,627 Speaker 15: got hundreds in that second inning, so it was quite 1944 01:36:35,627 --> 01:36:38,027 Speaker 15: a lot more harder to get wickets in the second 1945 01:36:38,067 --> 01:36:42,907 Speaker 15: innings in the first, but obviously that set up a 1946 01:36:42,947 --> 01:36:46,147 Speaker 15: good chance of victory when we bowled them out for 1947 01:36:46,227 --> 01:36:49,027 Speaker 15: I won sixty one seventy and then we pile on 1948 01:36:49,147 --> 01:36:52,067 Speaker 15: something like five hundred Martin Crow one hundred and eighty 1949 01:36:52,067 --> 01:36:54,547 Speaker 15: eight and it's John Reid one hundred as well, so 1950 01:36:54,627 --> 01:36:57,667 Speaker 15: we had a significant lead and we had plenty of 1951 01:36:57,747 --> 01:37:00,947 Speaker 15: time to bowl them out and ended up winning by 1952 01:37:00,947 --> 01:37:04,067 Speaker 15: an innings and I think forty four runs to knock 1953 01:37:04,107 --> 01:37:06,267 Speaker 15: it off in Australia for the first time. 1954 01:37:07,067 --> 01:37:09,187 Speaker 3: The Aussies weren't talking two months, that's what we're sure, 1955 01:37:09,667 --> 01:37:11,027 Speaker 3: and we were enjoying the moment. 1956 01:37:11,227 --> 01:37:14,747 Speaker 15: It was a magical moment lost at Sydney and then 1957 01:37:14,827 --> 01:37:16,907 Speaker 15: went at Perth to take the series. 1958 01:37:17,547 --> 01:37:22,067 Speaker 2: Just to finish the stats mention about the relative infrequency 1959 01:37:22,107 --> 01:37:25,067 Speaker 2: of New Zealand Test wins up toll when you got 1960 01:37:25,147 --> 01:37:27,547 Speaker 2: your first one and the number that you were involved 1961 01:37:27,587 --> 01:37:29,547 Speaker 2: in twenty two I think was the number of Test 1962 01:37:29,667 --> 01:37:32,947 Speaker 2: victories you played a part and then often a significant part. 1963 01:37:34,187 --> 01:37:36,707 Speaker 2: Was that something that you were also very keen to 1964 01:37:36,787 --> 01:37:40,627 Speaker 2: do to drive New Zealand to victories through your own performances. 1965 01:37:40,827 --> 01:37:43,507 Speaker 15: Well, my job simply with a new ball is to 1966 01:37:44,027 --> 01:37:49,107 Speaker 15: get wickets, early wickets and being really the only out 1967 01:37:49,107 --> 01:37:51,867 Speaker 15: and out strike bowler. We had good medium pace bowlers, 1968 01:37:52,387 --> 01:37:55,067 Speaker 15: but as an attacking bowler was always having three slips 1969 01:37:55,107 --> 01:37:58,267 Speaker 15: in a gully. I'm always going to get the new ball, 1970 01:37:59,227 --> 01:38:01,867 Speaker 15: and I'm going to bowl just before lunch, and I'm 1971 01:38:01,867 --> 01:38:04,787 Speaker 15: going to bowl just after lunch, before tea, after tea, 1972 01:38:05,187 --> 01:38:08,547 Speaker 15: when the second new ball, I get the bowl at nine, 1973 01:38:08,627 --> 01:38:12,627 Speaker 15: ten eleven, right, So I was always having greater opportunities 1974 01:38:12,667 --> 01:38:16,387 Speaker 15: than other bowlers who really complimented me at the other 1975 01:38:16,587 --> 01:38:19,187 Speaker 15: end by keeping it tight and sure they'd get wickets 1976 01:38:19,187 --> 01:38:23,667 Speaker 15: as well, no question about that. But everyone's got a 1977 01:38:23,787 --> 01:38:28,347 Speaker 15: role in the team to play, and I always saw 1978 01:38:28,467 --> 01:38:35,107 Speaker 15: myself as the addressor the attacker, stamping my presence on 1979 01:38:35,267 --> 01:38:38,667 Speaker 15: the ground in front of batsmen, that sort of thing. 1980 01:38:39,107 --> 01:38:41,387 Speaker 15: And when you think about it, it's always the bowler 1981 01:38:41,827 --> 01:38:46,267 Speaker 15: who dictates play. He dictates play wherever he pitches the 1982 01:38:46,347 --> 01:38:50,347 Speaker 15: ball affects an outcome where the runs are scored. The 1983 01:38:50,427 --> 01:38:53,507 Speaker 15: batsman lets the ball go now he plays and miss 1984 01:38:53,587 --> 01:38:57,587 Speaker 15: gets it on the pad. The bowler always dictates play 1985 01:38:57,827 --> 01:39:00,107 Speaker 15: and the batsman has to have a response to that. 1986 01:39:00,587 --> 01:39:04,147 Speaker 15: Now that's not to say the bowler always dominates, because 1987 01:39:04,227 --> 01:39:07,747 Speaker 15: batsmen also dominate, and they could score hundreds, two hundreds 1988 01:39:07,747 --> 01:39:11,307 Speaker 15: and three hundreds. So my mentality was to accept the 1989 01:39:11,347 --> 01:39:15,667 Speaker 15: responsibility to try and get wickets, and the guys in 1990 01:39:15,747 --> 01:39:18,827 Speaker 15: a supporting role, with particularly in catching behind the wicket, 1991 01:39:19,187 --> 01:39:23,707 Speaker 15: were hugely significant in the successes I had because if 1992 01:39:23,747 --> 01:39:26,547 Speaker 15: you're catching at ninety ninety five percent, you're going to 1993 01:39:26,587 --> 01:39:29,627 Speaker 15: win games and bowlers are going to get wickets. But 1994 01:39:29,747 --> 01:39:32,387 Speaker 15: if you're dropping eight catches in as. 1995 01:39:33,667 --> 01:39:36,787 Speaker 3: Dare I say it, you're always behind the game. 1996 01:39:37,347 --> 01:39:42,067 Speaker 15: So collectively we all had roles minus the bowl and 1997 01:39:42,267 --> 01:39:44,947 Speaker 15: get wickets. Others were to do whatever they had to do, 1998 01:39:45,107 --> 01:39:49,427 Speaker 15: but fielding was vital in the successes that I had, four. 1999 01:39:49,347 --> 01:39:51,947 Speaker 2: Hundred and thirty one of them, so many significant moments. 2000 01:39:51,947 --> 01:39:54,627 Speaker 2: Sir Richard, congratulations on your induction and thank you for 2001 01:39:54,707 --> 01:39:55,547 Speaker 2: taking the time for a chat. 2002 01:39:55,707 --> 01:39:56,347 Speaker 3: Pleasir, thank you. 2003 01:39:56,667 --> 01:40:00,547 Speaker 2: That is Sir Richard Hadley at the induction ceremony for 2004 01:40:00,867 --> 01:40:03,907 Speaker 2: the first inductees in the Crickets Hall of Fame at 2005 01:40:03,987 --> 01:40:07,387 Speaker 2: the New Zealand Cricket Museum based on Reserve on Thursday evening. 2006 01:40:07,427 --> 01:40:11,107 Speaker 2: Still sharpest attack. Get the feeling he could probably probably 2007 01:40:11,147 --> 01:40:13,107 Speaker 2: give you the details of his four hundred and thirty 2008 01:40:13,147 --> 01:40:16,227 Speaker 2: one Test wickets. First bloke to get four hundred. Of course, 2009 01:40:16,787 --> 01:40:21,227 Speaker 2: seventeen men have now taken four hundred Test wickets, and 2010 01:40:21,787 --> 01:40:25,707 Speaker 2: obviously Mattia Marilutherin is top of the pile with eight hundred. 2011 01:40:26,787 --> 01:40:29,867 Speaker 2: Shane Warns seven hundred and eight Jimmy Anderson seven hundred 2012 01:40:29,907 --> 01:40:32,747 Speaker 2: and four are the top three. But when you look 2013 01:40:32,787 --> 01:40:35,947 Speaker 2: at the bowlers who have taken four hundred Test wickets 2014 01:40:35,987 --> 01:40:39,547 Speaker 2: and you look at the average of each of them, 2015 01:40:40,027 --> 01:40:43,747 Speaker 2: Sir Richard Hadley stacks up with all of them pretty much. 2016 01:40:44,107 --> 01:40:47,707 Speaker 2: The only guy who's taken four hundred Test wickets plus 2017 01:40:48,387 --> 01:40:51,907 Speaker 2: at a better average than Sir Richard's twenty two point 2018 01:40:51,987 --> 01:40:55,707 Speaker 2: twenty nine. Is Glen McGrath his five hundred and sixty 2019 01:40:55,747 --> 01:40:59,187 Speaker 2: three wickets at twenty one point sixty four, But all 2020 01:40:59,267 --> 01:41:01,947 Speaker 2: of the others have a higher average per wicket than 2021 01:41:01,987 --> 01:41:05,387 Speaker 2: Sir Richard Hadley. And then you look at strike rates. Well, 2022 01:41:05,427 --> 01:41:07,987 Speaker 2: first of all, Sir Richard he hadly only played eighty 2023 01:41:08,107 --> 01:41:11,707 Speaker 2: six Test matches. Everybody else on this list has played far, 2024 01:41:11,907 --> 01:41:14,667 Speaker 2: far more than that. Jimmy Anderson's played one hundred and 2025 01:41:14,787 --> 01:41:18,507 Speaker 2: eighty eight Test matches, so over one hundred more Tests 2026 01:41:19,067 --> 01:41:22,307 Speaker 2: than Sir Richard. But strike rates, in other words, balls 2027 01:41:22,387 --> 01:41:26,267 Speaker 2: per wicket. Sir Richard Hadley took a wicket every fifty 2028 01:41:26,387 --> 01:41:29,747 Speaker 2: point eighty five balls, So what's that about one every 2029 01:41:29,787 --> 01:41:33,427 Speaker 2: seven overs? Now eight overs six six eight forty eight. 2030 01:41:33,507 --> 01:41:37,067 Speaker 2: There you go about one every eight overs. Apart from 2031 01:41:37,187 --> 01:41:39,107 Speaker 2: Dale Stain, who's a bit of an outlier here, he 2032 01:41:39,147 --> 01:41:41,507 Speaker 2: took a wicket every forty two and a bit deliveries. 2033 01:41:41,987 --> 01:41:44,227 Speaker 2: That is again as good as anybody on that list. 2034 01:41:44,827 --> 01:41:47,947 Speaker 2: So in terms of the average and the strike rate 2035 01:41:48,027 --> 01:41:50,347 Speaker 2: for Sir Richard and just the frequency at which the 2036 01:41:50,387 --> 01:41:55,507 Speaker 2: wickets appeared, he was an absolute titan of the game 2037 01:41:55,987 --> 01:41:58,387 Speaker 2: from his Test debut in nineteen seventy three to his 2038 01:41:58,467 --> 01:42:01,707 Speaker 2: final Test in nineteen ninety a wicket with his final 2039 01:42:01,787 --> 01:42:04,427 Speaker 2: ball in Test cricket is four hundred and thirty first 2040 01:42:05,187 --> 01:42:09,627 Speaker 2: just an absolute champion of the game. Ninety six for four. 2041 01:42:09,707 --> 01:42:13,707 Speaker 2: Now New Zealand, so these two Tom Blundell and Darryl 2042 01:42:13,787 --> 01:42:17,067 Speaker 2: Mitchell is starting to show a bit of steal, show 2043 01:42:17,067 --> 01:42:20,147 Speaker 2: a bit of fight. Tom Blundell, who's had a difficult 2044 01:42:20,187 --> 01:42:24,347 Speaker 2: time of things recently, is unbeaten on twenty eight, Daryl 2045 01:42:24,387 --> 01:42:27,707 Speaker 2: Mitchell is there on twenty nine, and New Zealand in 2046 01:42:27,827 --> 01:42:31,667 Speaker 2: the chase for five hundred and eighty three ninety six 2047 01:42:31,787 --> 01:42:36,187 Speaker 2: for four. Tom Blundell, of course is from Wellington. In fact, 2048 01:42:36,427 --> 01:42:39,947 Speaker 2: he scored a century on Test debut at the Basin Reserve. 2049 01:42:40,427 --> 01:42:44,227 Speaker 2: He wasn't playing as a as a wicketkeeper, then he 2050 01:42:44,387 --> 01:42:48,147 Speaker 2: was in the team as a batter and famously he 2051 01:42:49,227 --> 01:42:52,107 Speaker 2: scored the runs at the Basin Reserve, which is overlooked 2052 01:42:52,147 --> 01:42:55,187 Speaker 2: by his former school, Wellington College. Of course, one hundred 2053 01:42:55,227 --> 01:42:58,667 Speaker 2: and seven in his very first innings at Test level 2054 01:42:58,747 --> 01:43:02,267 Speaker 2: against the West Indies back in December of twenty seventeen, 2055 01:43:02,427 --> 01:43:05,067 Speaker 2: So wouldn't it be a good time now to score 2056 01:43:05,507 --> 01:43:07,747 Speaker 2: another century of Tom Blundell. He's got a bit of 2057 01:43:07,827 --> 01:43:11,507 Speaker 2: work to do. But Mitchell and Blundell together are starting 2058 01:43:11,587 --> 01:43:15,227 Speaker 2: to chip away. I think any sense that they could 2059 01:43:15,227 --> 01:43:18,667 Speaker 2: score five hundred and eighty three is probably drawing a 2060 01:43:18,747 --> 01:43:21,507 Speaker 2: bit of a long bow. But in terms of soaking 2061 01:43:21,587 --> 01:43:25,107 Speaker 2: up time and starting to cause frustration amongst the English, 2062 01:43:25,147 --> 01:43:27,467 Speaker 2: then you know they can keep going. I don't want 2063 01:43:27,507 --> 01:43:30,027 Speaker 2: to jinx it. Then maybe we go into day four 2064 01:43:30,067 --> 01:43:32,747 Speaker 2: and even into day five if the pitch continues to 2065 01:43:32,827 --> 01:43:35,707 Speaker 2: flatten out to twenty seven. Anyway, that all lies ahead. 2066 01:43:35,707 --> 01:43:36,827 Speaker 2: We'll keep you up to date and get you to 2067 01:43:36,947 --> 01:43:39,907 Speaker 2: the basin before three o'clock with Andrew Ortison. Next though, 2068 01:43:40,107 --> 01:43:43,227 Speaker 2: our coaching guru Wayne Goldsmith on the topic of why 2069 01:43:43,387 --> 01:43:46,867 Speaker 2: some sports teams have a great period of success and 2070 01:43:47,027 --> 01:43:49,187 Speaker 2: then it all suddenly comes to an end. He's with 2071 01:43:49,347 --> 01:43:50,747 Speaker 2: us right after this one. 2072 01:43:50,987 --> 01:43:57,067 Speaker 1: Crutch Hold Engage Weekend Sports with Jason Pain and GJ. Gunnomes, 2073 01:43:57,307 --> 01:43:59,427 Speaker 1: New Zealand source Trusted home Builder. 2074 01:43:59,227 --> 01:44:02,907 Speaker 2: News talk to Baby Bang on two thirty on Weekends Sport. 2075 01:44:02,947 --> 01:44:05,547 Speaker 2: A regular feature on the show this year has been 2076 01:44:05,587 --> 01:44:09,467 Speaker 2: the Wisdom of coaching guru Wayne Goldsmith, who's joined us 2077 01:44:09,507 --> 01:44:13,347 Speaker 2: on various different matters around coaching at an elite or 2078 01:44:13,467 --> 01:44:16,347 Speaker 2: grassroots level or anywhere in between. It joins us for 2079 01:44:16,387 --> 01:44:18,827 Speaker 2: the final time this year. Wayne. I saw a post 2080 01:44:18,867 --> 01:44:21,907 Speaker 2: from you on social media this week that I wanted 2081 01:44:21,947 --> 01:44:25,307 Speaker 2: to drill down into and it was entitled why sporting 2082 01:44:25,427 --> 01:44:29,667 Speaker 2: teams fail after a period of success? And you said 2083 01:44:30,107 --> 01:44:33,547 Speaker 2: that seven words explain it, and those seven words are 2084 01:44:34,187 --> 01:44:37,547 Speaker 2: that's the way we do it here. So why are 2085 01:44:37,627 --> 01:44:40,987 Speaker 2: those words and that philosophy so dangerous? 2086 01:44:42,547 --> 01:44:47,187 Speaker 17: Well, I think what those words convey is a lot 2087 01:44:47,267 --> 01:44:48,387 Speaker 17: of different things, Patty. 2088 01:44:48,867 --> 01:44:52,387 Speaker 28: It's saying our way is the only way, our way 2089 01:44:52,667 --> 01:44:55,707 Speaker 28: is the best way, our way is the right way. 2090 01:44:56,307 --> 01:44:58,747 Speaker 28: And if if you've been around sport for a while, 2091 01:44:58,947 --> 01:45:02,867 Speaker 28: you know that that's true. But for a very very 2092 01:45:03,467 --> 01:45:04,467 Speaker 28: short moment of time. 2093 01:45:04,547 --> 01:45:07,667 Speaker 17: And look, I remember working with coach of an Olympic gold. 2094 01:45:07,587 --> 01:45:10,787 Speaker 28: Medalist in trek and field years ago and he said, 2095 01:45:11,307 --> 01:45:13,867 Speaker 28: I said, how excited Philly excited about it? And he 2096 01:45:13,907 --> 01:45:17,427 Speaker 28: said I am, But I'm just thinking about all the 2097 01:45:17,547 --> 01:45:21,707 Speaker 28: coaches and our competitors around the world who are looking. 2098 01:45:21,547 --> 01:45:23,547 Speaker 2: And going, how do we beat her? 2099 01:45:24,147 --> 01:45:27,067 Speaker 28: And it was this reality that even though at that 2100 01:45:27,227 --> 01:45:29,667 Speaker 28: moment she was the Olympic gold medalist and the best 2101 01:45:29,707 --> 01:45:33,067 Speaker 28: of the best, the reality is everybody has now seen. 2102 01:45:32,907 --> 01:45:36,107 Speaker 17: That and gone, ah, that's how you've done it. I'm 2103 01:45:36,147 --> 01:45:37,947 Speaker 17: going to do it better. I'm going to learn from 2104 01:45:37,987 --> 01:45:39,227 Speaker 17: you and improve. 2105 01:45:39,507 --> 01:45:41,867 Speaker 28: Whereas if you say, oh, that's the way we do 2106 01:45:42,027 --> 01:45:46,907 Speaker 28: it here, your brain, your mind, your imagination, creativity, innovation 2107 01:45:47,467 --> 01:45:51,747 Speaker 28: stops because you're convinced that you've got it and forever 2108 01:45:51,907 --> 01:45:52,947 Speaker 28: shall it be the case? 2109 01:45:53,067 --> 01:45:54,067 Speaker 17: And it's just not right. 2110 01:45:54,827 --> 01:45:57,547 Speaker 2: Another saying you hear a lot is not just in sport. 2111 01:45:57,947 --> 01:46:01,147 Speaker 2: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Is their merit 2112 01:46:01,467 --> 01:46:03,867 Speaker 2: to that? If what you're doing is getting you success, 2113 01:46:04,347 --> 01:46:07,267 Speaker 2: then is their merit in not changing it too much? 2114 01:46:08,507 --> 01:46:08,667 Speaker 24: Well? 2115 01:46:08,747 --> 01:46:10,307 Speaker 17: Look, I always go back. 2116 01:46:10,227 --> 01:46:13,107 Speaker 28: To who are the brands in our life that have 2117 01:46:13,227 --> 01:46:16,187 Speaker 28: been sustainably successful for a long long time? 2118 01:46:16,347 --> 01:46:18,747 Speaker 17: So you look at something like Apple, or you look 2119 01:46:18,867 --> 01:46:20,627 Speaker 17: at BMW, or you. 2120 01:46:20,707 --> 01:46:23,427 Speaker 28: Look at the brands that have grown have been sustainably 2121 01:46:23,467 --> 01:46:26,227 Speaker 28: successful over a long long period of time. Now we 2122 01:46:26,467 --> 01:46:28,907 Speaker 28: know at the moment if you go into an Apple shop, 2123 01:46:29,067 --> 01:46:32,867 Speaker 28: which to me is just in insanely full on place 2124 01:46:32,907 --> 01:46:35,067 Speaker 28: where you're getting exposed all sorts of ideas which you 2125 01:46:35,147 --> 01:46:37,147 Speaker 28: go into an Apple shop and we're not sponsored by Apple. 2126 01:46:36,907 --> 01:46:37,907 Speaker 17: By the way, are we find it? No? 2127 01:46:38,107 --> 01:46:38,427 Speaker 18: Not, But. 2128 01:46:40,187 --> 01:46:42,227 Speaker 28: You know, we go into a shop at Apple Shop, 2129 01:46:42,587 --> 01:46:48,387 Speaker 28: and they're going to tell you that this model of phone, 2130 01:46:48,507 --> 01:46:51,827 Speaker 28: this model of tablet, this model of technology is the 2131 01:46:51,987 --> 01:46:54,867 Speaker 28: best and it can't get any better, and this is 2132 01:46:54,947 --> 01:46:58,067 Speaker 28: the latest in technology and the greatest thing that's ever happened. 2133 01:46:58,627 --> 01:47:04,307 Speaker 28: Yet we know that they're already made, designed and built 2134 01:47:04,627 --> 01:47:07,667 Speaker 28: next year's one, And we know that they've built and designed, 2135 01:47:07,707 --> 01:47:10,547 Speaker 28: pretty much finished the one for twenty twenty six, and 2136 01:47:10,627 --> 01:47:15,067 Speaker 28: they've probably got the twenty thirty model on the planning 2137 01:47:15,107 --> 01:47:17,027 Speaker 28: platform and ready to go as well, and each one 2138 01:47:17,067 --> 01:47:19,507 Speaker 28: of those will be better. So we know that the 2139 01:47:19,667 --> 01:47:24,587 Speaker 28: brands in our broader life that have been sustainably successful 2140 01:47:24,627 --> 01:47:28,747 Speaker 28: are constantly reinventing. Now, having said that, if we stick 2141 01:47:28,827 --> 01:47:32,947 Speaker 28: with that Apple iialogy, that they don't change the size 2142 01:47:33,067 --> 01:47:38,187 Speaker 28: of the phone much, and they don't change the shape 2143 01:47:38,227 --> 01:47:38,867 Speaker 28: of the phone much. 2144 01:47:39,227 --> 01:47:42,107 Speaker 17: They keep the things that they know work. 2145 01:47:42,987 --> 01:47:45,387 Speaker 28: But then they go, but where can we find an 2146 01:47:45,507 --> 01:47:48,787 Speaker 28: edge so fast, a process, that raw bigger process, that 2147 01:47:48,947 --> 01:47:52,027 Speaker 28: raw better camera, so they look at the things that 2148 01:47:52,187 --> 01:47:54,707 Speaker 28: they know work and then they go, yeah, but we 2149 01:47:54,787 --> 01:47:58,947 Speaker 28: can still be better that continuous improvement mindset. The teams 2150 01:47:59,107 --> 01:48:03,587 Speaker 28: that get that sustained success, the teams and the organizations 2151 01:48:03,627 --> 01:48:06,147 Speaker 28: who don't, who believe in that's the way we do it, 2152 01:48:07,187 --> 01:48:10,867 Speaker 28: their success is fleeting, are quite often almost accidental or lucky. 2153 01:48:11,947 --> 01:48:15,027 Speaker 2: Do you find that that teams and coaches who have 2154 01:48:15,147 --> 01:48:18,747 Speaker 2: been successful are more likely to be the ones who 2155 01:48:18,827 --> 01:48:22,227 Speaker 2: seek to change things up to seek that improvement or 2156 01:48:22,827 --> 01:48:25,387 Speaker 2: because you know, I would imagine there would be a 2157 01:48:25,427 --> 01:48:28,467 Speaker 2: certain degree of resistance among a playing group who say 2158 01:48:28,507 --> 01:48:30,027 Speaker 2: to their coach, Look, you've been telling us what to do. 2159 01:48:30,227 --> 01:48:32,827 Speaker 2: We've done that, we're winning games. Now you're telling us 2160 01:48:32,867 --> 01:48:35,747 Speaker 2: to do another thing or a slightly different thing. Is 2161 01:48:35,827 --> 01:48:39,827 Speaker 2: there resistance in any way among players in situations like this? 2162 01:48:41,787 --> 01:48:44,587 Speaker 17: There can be, And it's because. 2163 01:48:44,387 --> 01:48:47,387 Speaker 28: The way that you talk to the playgroup. If you say, 2164 01:48:47,467 --> 01:48:50,067 Speaker 28: the playgroup, it's all about the grand final. We have 2165 01:48:50,187 --> 01:48:51,707 Speaker 28: to win the Grand Final. We're going to be at 2166 01:48:51,747 --> 01:48:56,867 Speaker 28: our best, and everything's based around the achievement of success 2167 01:48:56,987 --> 01:49:00,507 Speaker 28: at a singular point in time, where you've spent all 2168 01:49:00,587 --> 01:49:04,307 Speaker 28: that time convincing them that their model their system, their structure, 2169 01:49:04,347 --> 01:49:07,187 Speaker 28: their play is the best way and wherever shall it 2170 01:49:07,307 --> 01:49:09,947 Speaker 28: be the case, then for them come back the next 2171 01:49:10,027 --> 01:49:11,587 Speaker 28: year and say, hey, guys, guess what we're going to 2172 01:49:11,707 --> 01:49:12,147 Speaker 28: change it all. 2173 01:49:12,627 --> 01:49:15,347 Speaker 17: That can be really confronting. If you listen to the 2174 01:49:15,467 --> 01:49:17,347 Speaker 17: words of the really. 2175 01:49:17,187 --> 01:49:19,227 Speaker 28: Switched on coaches, the ones that have been around for 2176 01:49:19,227 --> 01:49:21,987 Speaker 28: a while, they talk about things like it's a journey. 2177 01:49:22,507 --> 01:49:25,227 Speaker 28: Every moment is an opportunity for us to learn. We're 2178 01:49:25,267 --> 01:49:28,787 Speaker 28: continuing to learn and progress and improve as a player group. 2179 01:49:29,027 --> 01:49:31,707 Speaker 28: And you even heard it with the great the Crusaders teams, 2180 01:49:32,307 --> 01:49:37,707 Speaker 28: with the Penrith Panthers, they very rarely talk about we're 2181 01:49:37,707 --> 01:49:40,267 Speaker 28: gonna get to the Grand Final and win it and others. 2182 01:49:40,547 --> 01:49:42,987 Speaker 28: It's not a those finite terms. It's all about every 2183 01:49:43,067 --> 01:49:46,507 Speaker 28: game we've learned, we've improved as a group. We're getting better. 2184 01:49:46,667 --> 01:49:49,147 Speaker 28: I don't think we've realized our potential yet. If you've 2185 01:49:49,187 --> 01:49:51,427 Speaker 28: been around for a while, you tend not to speak 2186 01:49:51,467 --> 01:49:54,507 Speaker 28: in absolutes or finalities. You tend to talk in the 2187 01:49:54,627 --> 01:49:59,667 Speaker 28: terms of continuous improvement, ongoing learning, being the best I 2188 01:49:59,787 --> 01:50:02,227 Speaker 28: can be, but I can always get better. You tend 2189 01:50:02,307 --> 01:50:05,547 Speaker 28: to stick to those terms. If you've been around for 2190 01:50:05,587 --> 01:50:05,907 Speaker 28: a while. 2191 01:50:06,347 --> 01:50:10,027 Speaker 17: If you're just selling them once that win and forget it, 2192 01:50:10,307 --> 01:50:14,827 Speaker 17: then you're almost painting what the future is going to 2193 01:50:14,867 --> 01:50:15,147 Speaker 17: look like. 2194 01:50:15,707 --> 01:50:18,827 Speaker 2: There are some coaches who are tremendously successful over a 2195 01:50:18,867 --> 01:50:21,627 Speaker 2: sustained period of time, and then they start to be 2196 01:50:21,827 --> 01:50:24,387 Speaker 2: less successful and people start to talk a little bit 2197 01:50:24,427 --> 01:50:27,987 Speaker 2: about those coaches. The game has moved on. He's yesterday's man. 2198 01:50:28,707 --> 01:50:31,827 Speaker 2: You know, the game has passed him by. Now are 2199 01:50:31,907 --> 01:50:35,027 Speaker 2: there some coaches who just are either unable or unwilling 2200 01:50:35,147 --> 01:50:38,067 Speaker 2: to make the change when it's needed. 2201 01:50:39,827 --> 01:50:42,587 Speaker 28: It's a wonderful question by you, as you know, I 2202 01:50:42,667 --> 01:50:44,747 Speaker 28: love swimming, and I've been in it for a long 2203 01:50:44,907 --> 01:50:51,627 Speaker 28: long time. And the coaches involved, they're wonderful. They getting 2204 01:50:51,707 --> 01:50:53,987 Speaker 28: up early, They're given their life to it. You're going 2205 01:50:54,027 --> 01:50:56,547 Speaker 28: to add the same people like gymnastics coaches and rowing 2206 01:50:56,667 --> 01:50:59,427 Speaker 28: coaches and distance running coaches, and you know, there's a 2207 01:50:59,467 --> 01:51:02,027 Speaker 28: lot of coaches getting up early and given everything they've 2208 01:51:02,067 --> 01:51:06,147 Speaker 28: got to the sport. However, when I go around the world, 2209 01:51:06,507 --> 01:51:11,267 Speaker 28: the default model of delivering something like swimming, this coach 2210 01:51:11,387 --> 01:51:14,107 Speaker 28: is standing at at the pearl yelling numbers to kids. Now, 2211 01:51:14,227 --> 01:51:17,107 Speaker 28: that was a reasonably successful model for a large period 2212 01:51:17,147 --> 01:51:20,787 Speaker 28: of time. But we're dealing with kids now who are TikTokers. 2213 01:51:20,987 --> 01:51:24,747 Speaker 28: They want short pieces of information, They want to be engaged, 2214 01:51:24,787 --> 01:51:26,827 Speaker 28: they want to be listened to, they want to work 2215 01:51:26,947 --> 01:51:28,147 Speaker 28: with you, they. 2216 01:51:28,107 --> 01:51:29,747 Speaker 17: Want to feel part of the process. 2217 01:51:30,347 --> 01:51:33,907 Speaker 28: And I say to the coaches, look, even though your 2218 01:51:34,027 --> 01:51:36,147 Speaker 28: model may have worked, and you may have even put 2219 01:51:36,227 --> 01:51:38,307 Speaker 28: someone on an Olympic team or even won a medal, 2220 01:51:38,707 --> 01:51:42,667 Speaker 28: we're dealing with a society that's evolved so quickly. 2221 01:51:42,867 --> 01:51:46,347 Speaker 17: The learning has become so different. The way the kids 2222 01:51:46,467 --> 01:51:49,027 Speaker 17: engage with learning and want to be engaged with their 2223 01:51:49,107 --> 01:51:52,427 Speaker 17: teachers and their parents and their peers has changed. So 2224 01:51:52,867 --> 01:51:55,627 Speaker 17: if you're a smart coach, you're staying true to the 2225 01:51:55,707 --> 01:51:57,187 Speaker 17: things that you believe. 2226 01:51:57,227 --> 01:52:01,667 Speaker 28: Hard work, dedication, commitment, passion, all those things, but you're 2227 01:52:01,787 --> 01:52:05,667 Speaker 28: shaping it and remodeling it and delivering it and packaging 2228 01:52:05,707 --> 01:52:08,667 Speaker 28: it in a way it's appropriate for the generations that 2229 01:52:08,747 --> 01:52:14,307 Speaker 28: we're dealing with now. The common thing I hear from 2230 01:52:14,987 --> 01:52:18,027 Speaker 28: coaches is, oh, there's something wrong with the kids, and 2231 01:52:18,147 --> 01:52:20,187 Speaker 28: the kids are not doing it the way that we 2232 01:52:20,347 --> 01:52:22,507 Speaker 28: used to do it, and the kids have got it wrong. 2233 01:52:22,587 --> 01:52:25,347 Speaker 17: It's their parents that have got so many things on 2234 01:52:25,427 --> 01:52:26,627 Speaker 17: and we've got a soft society. 2235 01:52:26,947 --> 01:52:29,907 Speaker 28: No no, no, no, no, you're yelling into a fan 2236 01:52:30,067 --> 01:52:34,627 Speaker 28: in a breeze. You've got to say, well, I can't 2237 01:52:34,787 --> 01:52:37,627 Speaker 28: change the children of the world. I can't change parenting 2238 01:52:37,707 --> 01:52:41,227 Speaker 28: in New Zealand. I can't change the way people engage 2239 01:52:41,267 --> 01:52:46,827 Speaker 28: with technology. I can only change myself and I as 2240 01:52:46,827 --> 01:52:48,627 Speaker 28: a coach. I'm not going to change my belief in 2241 01:52:48,707 --> 01:52:51,747 Speaker 28: hard work and commitment, dedication. But I'm going to change 2242 01:52:51,787 --> 01:52:55,227 Speaker 28: the things that will allow me to remain successful, which 2243 01:52:55,387 --> 01:52:59,387 Speaker 28: is engaging with kids, engaging in athletes in a way 2244 01:52:59,587 --> 01:53:01,187 Speaker 28: that they want to be engaged with. 2245 01:53:01,467 --> 01:53:01,627 Speaker 18: Now. 2246 01:53:02,227 --> 01:53:04,347 Speaker 17: And look, I know this coach is listening at the moment, 2247 01:53:04,387 --> 01:53:06,187 Speaker 17: piny going no, he doesn't get it. 2248 01:53:06,347 --> 01:53:08,387 Speaker 28: You know that's not like that for tennis or rowing 2249 01:53:08,547 --> 01:53:12,187 Speaker 28: or I promise you guys, I really do get this. 2250 01:53:12,387 --> 01:53:14,747 Speaker 28: This is what I live day to day, and my 2251 01:53:14,907 --> 01:53:17,787 Speaker 28: will stay true to the things that you know work. 2252 01:53:18,467 --> 01:53:22,027 Speaker 28: But be smart enough and intelligent enough to tweak and 2253 01:53:22,187 --> 01:53:26,067 Speaker 28: change and improve and enhance the things that will allow you. 2254 01:53:26,747 --> 01:53:28,067 Speaker 17: To sustain your success. 2255 01:53:28,387 --> 01:53:30,107 Speaker 28: But I would even think you'd be able to bellow 2256 01:53:30,147 --> 01:53:33,267 Speaker 28: me and been are two great examples in NRL. I 2257 01:53:33,387 --> 01:53:35,787 Speaker 28: guarantee you there's things that they do that haven't changed 2258 01:53:35,787 --> 01:53:40,427 Speaker 28: since the nineteen seventies, guarantee. But I also guarantee they've 2259 01:53:40,507 --> 01:53:45,707 Speaker 28: made five ten percent change every year since of the 2260 01:53:45,867 --> 01:53:48,787 Speaker 28: things that they know will allow them to sustain success. 2261 01:53:48,987 --> 01:53:51,187 Speaker 28: So I guarantee when Bennett went into his great line, 2262 01:53:51,227 --> 01:53:54,147 Speaker 28: Bennett says, which is what you take into coaching is 2263 01:53:54,187 --> 01:53:58,107 Speaker 28: what you take out. So I'm guarantee he would believe 2264 01:53:58,187 --> 01:54:02,707 Speaker 28: in those core values what's important. His coaching philosophies would 2265 01:54:02,787 --> 01:54:05,507 Speaker 28: not have changed, but he would have changed the things 2266 01:54:05,547 --> 01:54:08,187 Speaker 28: that would have allowed him to continue to be successful. 2267 01:54:08,667 --> 01:54:12,307 Speaker 28: And that's the real art of coaching or success in anything. 2268 01:54:13,067 --> 01:54:16,067 Speaker 2: Incredible wisdom and brilliant advice from you as always, Wayne, 2269 01:54:16,067 --> 01:54:18,067 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for today and for all your 2270 01:54:18,147 --> 01:54:21,147 Speaker 2: contributions to Weekend Sport across the year.

Nineteen to three Get You Back to 2284 01:54:52,907 --> 01:54:54,987 Speaker 2: the Basin in a moment one O five for four. 2285 01:54:55,507 --> 01:54:59,027 Speaker 2: Darryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell are getting quite close to 2286 01:54:59,107 --> 01:55:01,667 Speaker 2: a fifty partnership here. I know it's just a small victory, 2287 01:55:01,707 --> 01:55:03,907 Speaker 2: but we'll take anything we can get in this test series. 2288 01:55:04,707 --> 01:55:09,067 Speaker 2: Andrew Ordison from a ba usty, windy, overcast based in reserve. 2289 01:55:09,107 --> 01:55:13,347 Speaker 2: When we come back, you be the TMO. 2290 01:55:13,587 --> 01:55:15,987 Speaker 1: Have your say on eight hundred and eighty ten eighty 2291 01:55:16,187 --> 01:55:20,307 Speaker 1: Weekends for It with Jason Hin and GJ. Guvnerholmes, New 2292 01:55:20,387 --> 01:55:22,947 Speaker 1: Zealand's most trusted home builder, News Talks their. 2293 01:55:22,907 --> 01:55:26,267 Speaker 2: B two forty four on News Talks THEREB and Weekend Sport. 2294 01:55:26,347 --> 01:55:28,947 Speaker 2: An hour gone in the second session on day three 2295 01:55:29,187 --> 01:55:32,467 Speaker 2: at the Basin Reserve, they're enjoying a drink. Not Andrew Orderson, 2296 01:55:32,547 --> 01:55:36,387 Speaker 2: though he's having a chat to us. Darryl Mitchell, Tom 2297 01:55:36,467 --> 01:55:40,187 Speaker 2: blunder lay a fairly solid partnership being put together. 2298 01:55:40,267 --> 01:55:43,147 Speaker 16: Hair orders look, yes, I don't want to sen fight 2299 01:55:43,227 --> 01:55:45,907 Speaker 16: here for your pioneer. But this is indeed looking solid. 2300 01:55:45,947 --> 01:55:49,267 Speaker 16: I mean we're looking talking about the biggest part certainly 2301 01:55:49,307 --> 01:55:52,347 Speaker 16: of the Test for New Zealand so far forty seven 2302 01:55:52,467 --> 01:55:55,787 Speaker 16: runs Mitchell thirty two, Blundle thirty five and sort of 2303 01:55:55,827 --> 01:56:00,067 Speaker 16: bringing some minds rememiniscing about that twenty twenty two trip 2304 01:56:00,147 --> 01:56:02,107 Speaker 16: to England where they spent so much time at the 2305 01:56:02,187 --> 01:56:04,747 Speaker 16: crease Intend one hundred and six or four so and 2306 01:56:04,867 --> 01:56:07,307 Speaker 16: basically with this four your strike us at exactly the 2307 01:56:07,387 --> 01:56:09,987 Speaker 16: midway point of the Test match. So you think about 2308 01:56:10,027 --> 01:56:12,707 Speaker 16: how far it's advanced already. Having seen that too, we 2309 01:56:12,827 --> 01:56:15,227 Speaker 16: talked about some rain being around earlier Pinty that does 2310 01:56:15,307 --> 01:56:18,147 Speaker 16: seem to have dissipated in the wind has blowing that 2311 01:56:18,267 --> 01:56:21,707 Speaker 16: away in the northwest, so it's almayst. I think it's 2312 01:56:21,707 --> 01:56:23,907 Speaker 16: good for Blunder Emitsal to just keep the cagence going, 2313 01:56:24,267 --> 01:56:25,987 Speaker 16: keep the temper and be batting out that you don't 2314 01:56:25,987 --> 01:56:27,987 Speaker 16: want to have to give your eye and again come 2315 01:56:28,027 --> 01:56:30,467 Speaker 16: off the field and come back into it, especially against 2316 01:56:30,507 --> 01:56:34,427 Speaker 16: the accuracy of the English bowling, sof up the pace 2317 01:56:34,507 --> 01:56:37,147 Speaker 16: in particular, I think they have probably got a little 2318 01:56:37,147 --> 01:56:39,667 Speaker 16: bit settled with the bowling and sharp bus Yere they've 2319 01:56:39,667 --> 01:56:42,107 Speaker 16: been able to get into a lithly exous spin and 2320 01:56:42,587 --> 01:56:44,347 Speaker 16: if you're being Stokes before, we think we're bringing the 2321 01:56:44,387 --> 01:56:47,027 Speaker 16: pace back where you can as soon as possible, but 2322 01:56:47,187 --> 01:56:50,587 Speaker 16: certainly promising from New Zealand at least for the fifth 2323 01:56:50,627 --> 01:56:51,227 Speaker 16: bigot stand. 2324 01:56:51,507 --> 01:56:53,387 Speaker 2: They often say that when there's a big total that 2325 01:56:53,467 --> 01:56:56,067 Speaker 2: you're chasing, even one that seems so far away to 2326 01:56:56,387 --> 01:56:59,347 Speaker 2: even be conceivable, that you've got to at least try 2327 01:56:59,387 --> 01:57:01,907 Speaker 2: to keep the score taking over, not just try to survive. 2328 01:57:02,347 --> 01:57:03,707 Speaker 2: Is that what you're seeing from these two? 2329 01:57:04,547 --> 01:57:07,187 Speaker 16: That's exactly what you're seeing, And I think we'll put 2330 01:57:07,227 --> 01:57:10,787 Speaker 16: it this way. Blundle in particular had a lead off early, 2331 01:57:10,947 --> 01:57:13,547 Speaker 16: had a flash of one outside off stump and went 2332 01:57:13,587 --> 01:57:16,147 Speaker 16: through the hands of Jacob Bethel and the slips off 2333 01:57:16,227 --> 01:57:18,587 Speaker 16: Bright and cart. He went to the boundary and Ball 2334 01:57:18,627 --> 01:57:21,627 Speaker 16: immediately asked what he just there's no respite. He just 2335 01:57:21,707 --> 01:57:25,947 Speaker 16: hooked cast for six towards the scoreboard at the basin, 2336 01:57:26,227 --> 01:57:29,067 Speaker 16: went over the fence and that really gave him some confidence. 2337 01:57:29,067 --> 01:57:31,027 Speaker 16: I think he had ten off four balls at that 2338 01:57:31,187 --> 01:57:33,307 Speaker 16: point and has now moved on to thirty five. Of course, 2339 01:57:33,307 --> 01:57:36,427 Speaker 16: he's been in just a terrible rut with his form 2340 01:57:36,747 --> 01:57:38,667 Speaker 16: of late blundle. But now he looks like and I 2341 01:57:38,707 --> 01:57:42,027 Speaker 16: don't cheap bait here, as he's prepared to take his 2342 01:57:42,147 --> 01:57:45,867 Speaker 16: stance again. But he is on thirty five off forty 2343 01:57:45,947 --> 01:57:48,947 Speaker 16: nine balls, Mitchell thirty two off sixty eight. But Mitchell 2344 01:57:49,067 --> 01:57:51,427 Speaker 16: is on strike, so that is relief fumbly And if 2345 01:57:51,427 --> 01:57:54,667 Speaker 16: he's flashed one towards point but it's fielded, but looks 2346 01:57:54,707 --> 01:57:58,267 Speaker 16: like he maybe brooke out there. Maybe it's Zach Cruley intact. 2347 01:57:58,667 --> 01:58:01,947 Speaker 2: So what do you predict now for England in the 2348 01:58:02,227 --> 01:58:05,147 Speaker 2: next hour of the session, the next session after this one. 2349 01:58:05,387 --> 01:58:07,507 Speaker 2: They've got plenty of time orders, they don't really have 2350 01:58:07,627 --> 01:58:10,467 Speaker 2: to force the pace of this. What do you predict 2351 01:58:10,507 --> 01:58:11,667 Speaker 2: that their strategy will be? 2352 01:58:12,827 --> 01:58:12,987 Speaker 18: Well? 2353 01:58:13,147 --> 01:58:15,427 Speaker 16: Likewise, I look about New Zealand batting with positive intent. 2354 01:58:15,507 --> 01:58:18,867 Speaker 16: I thinks to do the same captaining England here and 2355 01:58:19,147 --> 01:58:21,347 Speaker 16: keep the attacking fields. They've got runs on the board 2356 01:58:22,067 --> 01:58:24,947 Speaker 16: and just keep these bowlers rotating. I guess with the 2357 01:58:25,267 --> 01:58:27,867 Speaker 16: cars has been in terrific form. We've seen Atkinson with 2358 01:58:27,947 --> 01:58:30,347 Speaker 16: his hat trick in the first thing, so he's cockahoop 2359 01:58:30,627 --> 01:58:32,627 Speaker 16: and in fact, goodness made, he's a wicket right now 2360 01:58:33,387 --> 01:58:38,227 Speaker 16: Darrel Mitchell is dismissed for thirty threes or sixty eyeballs. 2361 01:58:38,267 --> 01:58:41,227 Speaker 16: So there you go straight up and see Atkinson's guidance 2362 01:58:41,307 --> 01:58:44,507 Speaker 16: one hundred and six now and five in New Zealand 2363 01:58:44,667 --> 01:58:50,187 Speaker 16: and Mitchell trudging his way off. So disappointment for Darryl Mitchell. 2364 01:58:51,267 --> 01:58:52,907 Speaker 2: Oh you've got us, You've got us a wicket. 2365 01:58:53,027 --> 01:58:58,707 Speaker 16: Orders there you go, he's edge that behind the ollipape. 2366 01:58:58,827 --> 01:59:01,987 Speaker 16: So the departure of Daryl Mitchell has leaves from Lovell there. 2367 01:59:02,107 --> 01:59:04,947 Speaker 16: So yeah, I was looking promising, but the egg I've 2368 01:59:05,027 --> 01:59:07,067 Speaker 16: walked a wicket for you outside of the box. At 2369 01:59:07,107 --> 01:59:09,707 Speaker 16: the moment, fight well run partnership is over. 2370 01:59:09,867 --> 01:59:12,347 Speaker 2: I don't think you can be responsible entirely for it, allders, 2371 01:59:12,387 --> 01:59:15,347 Speaker 2: but certainly it will be noted in your next performance review. 2372 01:59:15,707 --> 01:59:19,227 Speaker 16: Look, I think while my KPI you see, they will 2373 01:59:19,307 --> 01:59:20,467 Speaker 16: be somewhat differently. 2374 01:59:20,187 --> 01:59:23,027 Speaker 2: Now they will. I think while Mitchell and Blunder were together, 2375 01:59:23,147 --> 01:59:25,467 Speaker 2: yeah we're like a minute ago, we were talking in 2376 01:59:25,587 --> 01:59:28,747 Speaker 2: quite positive to is there a possibility now that there 2377 01:59:28,827 --> 01:59:31,347 Speaker 2: might not be a day for Oh. 2378 01:59:31,307 --> 01:59:33,907 Speaker 16: For sure, I think that there's every chance of that. 2379 01:59:34,107 --> 01:59:35,987 Speaker 16: But that New Zealand has just have the knuckles down 2380 01:59:36,027 --> 01:59:38,507 Speaker 16: here if they can seeing Glen Phillip's coming to the 2381 01:59:38,547 --> 01:59:41,267 Speaker 16: wicket now at one hundred and six and five. But 2382 01:59:41,987 --> 01:59:45,147 Speaker 16: anyone just well they're in the pomp, really, they are 2383 01:59:45,187 --> 01:59:48,507 Speaker 16: just the confidence side in New Zealand largely left me 2384 01:59:48,547 --> 01:59:52,307 Speaker 16: in conference a partform that last partnership, and I think too, 2385 01:59:52,827 --> 01:59:55,587 Speaker 16: one that really struck me is the crucial in the 2386 01:59:55,587 --> 01:59:58,987 Speaker 16: biggest scheme of things. Russian Avenger just before lunch, just 2387 01:59:59,067 --> 02:00:02,627 Speaker 16: splashing outside of getting an edge, and he was dismissed 2388 02:00:02,667 --> 02:00:06,307 Speaker 16: for six but yes, so much promise the revenge. 2389 02:00:06,507 --> 02:00:07,987 Speaker 7: But just on that occasion. 2390 02:00:09,187 --> 02:00:11,027 Speaker 16: He could have knuckled it out maybe to lunch, but 2391 02:00:11,307 --> 02:00:13,307 Speaker 16: didn't do so. In New Zealand were another look at down. 2392 02:00:13,467 --> 02:00:16,227 Speaker 16: So yeah, it's disapporinting in many respects from that New 2393 02:00:16,307 --> 02:00:18,587 Speaker 16: Zealand batting card one hundred and twenty five in the 2394 02:00:18,627 --> 02:00:20,187 Speaker 16: first and then one hundred and six to five in 2395 02:00:20,227 --> 02:00:20,707 Speaker 16: the second. 2396 02:00:21,147 --> 02:00:23,467 Speaker 2: It's pretty bleak piney indeed, right just before you go. 2397 02:00:23,627 --> 02:00:25,747 Speaker 2: And this might be a conversation for once the Test 2398 02:00:25,867 --> 02:00:28,307 Speaker 2: is over. But let's just say for arguments sake that 2399 02:00:28,387 --> 02:00:30,387 Speaker 2: England do go on to win this Test. It's too 2400 02:00:30,507 --> 02:00:35,267 Speaker 2: nil going to Hamilton what do you predict from a 2401 02:00:35,307 --> 02:00:38,387 Speaker 2: New Zealand point of view in terms of selection for 2402 02:00:38,507 --> 02:00:39,187 Speaker 2: the third Test. 2403 02:00:40,627 --> 02:00:42,667 Speaker 16: Well, for Samas, I've got to get Young and they 2404 02:00:42,667 --> 02:00:44,947 Speaker 16: don't they It just seems ridiculous if you've got this 2405 02:00:45,147 --> 02:00:49,307 Speaker 16: player of the series from the India, the historic victory 2406 02:00:49,427 --> 02:00:51,707 Speaker 16: in India which is just such an anomaly and the 2407 02:00:51,747 --> 02:00:54,147 Speaker 16: biggest scheme of things with the three nil there. But Young, 2408 02:00:54,187 --> 02:00:55,787 Speaker 16: I thin he's the player of the series. He's got 2409 02:00:55,827 --> 02:00:58,587 Speaker 16: to come into this eleven in some capacity, probably for 2410 02:00:58,987 --> 02:01:01,027 Speaker 16: the Devon Conway. Albeit I don't know that Young is 2411 02:01:01,027 --> 02:01:03,427 Speaker 16: an opener. I mean he averages twenty two as an 2412 02:01:03,467 --> 02:01:06,307 Speaker 16: opener as opposed to forty three elsewhere in the order. 2413 02:01:07,547 --> 02:01:09,987 Speaker 16: I think Tomboy is probably the one going to most 2414 02:01:10,067 --> 02:01:12,347 Speaker 16: out of former at the moment, and that is a 2415 02:01:13,027 --> 02:01:16,547 Speaker 16: quite a competition. But then of course you look at 2416 02:01:16,547 --> 02:01:18,507 Speaker 16: the bowling and whether or not they decide to bring 2417 02:01:18,587 --> 02:01:21,587 Speaker 16: in the extra spin option of Mitchell, and then you 2418 02:01:21,667 --> 02:01:24,147 Speaker 16: have a real question mark over whether he dropped in 2419 02:01:24,227 --> 02:01:25,947 Speaker 16: the South you ahead of his what it meant to 2420 02:01:25,947 --> 02:01:28,307 Speaker 16: be his final Test match and it's a benedectory to 2421 02:01:28,427 --> 02:01:31,267 Speaker 16: it in this series. And then what would be a 2422 02:01:31,347 --> 02:01:33,707 Speaker 16: home ground end ground at Hamilton. 2423 02:01:34,187 --> 02:01:35,387 Speaker 11: That's a big call in itself. 2424 02:01:36,147 --> 02:01:38,667 Speaker 16: Or do you perhaps take out Nathan Smith who's look 2425 02:01:38,707 --> 02:01:40,947 Speaker 16: promising at times with the boar in particular and in 2426 02:01:41,027 --> 02:01:44,187 Speaker 16: the field. Do you just like for like as a 2427 02:01:44,267 --> 02:01:46,627 Speaker 16: bowling pace around her for a bowling spin all around it, 2428 02:01:46,907 --> 02:01:48,587 Speaker 16: or do you just leave the status crome in terms 2429 02:01:48,627 --> 02:01:50,187 Speaker 16: of that bowling and decide that it's going to be 2430 02:01:50,227 --> 02:01:51,827 Speaker 16: the Hamilton deck is not going to spin. I mean, 2431 02:01:52,067 --> 02:01:54,627 Speaker 16: at this stage of the season there's been two games 2432 02:01:54,827 --> 02:01:56,987 Speaker 16: in Plank at Shildon has been two wickets taken to spin, 2433 02:01:57,067 --> 02:01:59,947 Speaker 16: so there's not a strong argument in that regard at 2434 02:01:59,987 --> 02:02:02,427 Speaker 16: this point. But there's got to be some form of change, 2435 02:02:02,467 --> 02:02:07,147 Speaker 16: you would think given the the can fleet performance by 2436 02:02:07,187 --> 02:02:10,587 Speaker 16: England these first Tests and convincing victories, if they are 2437 02:02:10,627 --> 02:02:13,267 Speaker 16: able to take out the second Test against easily looking 2438 02:02:13,267 --> 02:02:14,427 Speaker 16: at a pretty strong position at the. 2439 02:02:14,427 --> 02:02:15,227 Speaker 5: Moment for that way. 2440 02:02:15,347 --> 02:02:18,707 Speaker 2: And thanks auders, appreciate your work across the weekend. We'll 2441 02:02:18,947 --> 02:02:21,667 Speaker 2: chat to your next weekend on Weekend Sport from Hamilton. 2442 02:02:21,827 --> 02:02:25,027 Speaker 2: Andrew Ordison from the Basin Reserve, New Zealand one hundred 2443 02:02:25,067 --> 02:02:27,907 Speaker 2: and ten for five. Now as the ball goes to 2444 02:02:27,947 --> 02:02:30,867 Speaker 2: the boundary off the bat of Glenn Phillips, but five 2445 02:02:31,027 --> 02:02:33,627 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty three is so far away as to 2446 02:02:33,667 --> 02:02:36,827 Speaker 2: be almost insignificant. Really. The next order of business for 2447 02:02:36,907 --> 02:02:39,267 Speaker 2: New Zealanders to try and make this test go into 2448 02:02:39,307 --> 02:02:40,867 Speaker 2: a fourth day, and there's still quite a bit of 2449 02:02:40,907 --> 02:02:43,787 Speaker 2: work to do for that to even happen. Unfortunately, eight 2450 02:02:43,827 --> 02:02:45,107 Speaker 2: away from three News Talks. 2451 02:02:44,987 --> 02:02:49,227 Speaker 1: EDB analyzing every view from every angle in the Sporting 2452 02:02:49,307 --> 02:02:53,067 Speaker 1: World Weekend Sport with Jason five.
