1 00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,387 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Fine 2 00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:13,307 Speaker 1: from News Talks B chat. 3 00:00:13,067 --> 00:00:16,347 Speaker 2: To Fanellen about what happened in the cricket this morning. 4 00:00:17,347 --> 00:00:19,267 Speaker 2: I don't know if you've caught up with this. I 5 00:00:19,347 --> 00:00:22,107 Speaker 2: might actually got up to watch this game. And before 6 00:00:22,147 --> 00:00:25,947 Speaker 2: the game, as usually happens, they do the national anthems. Well, 7 00:00:26,147 --> 00:00:29,627 Speaker 2: the New Zealand national anthem was like the New Zealand 8 00:00:29,707 --> 00:00:33,907 Speaker 2: National anthem on Helium. It was, Oh, I'm going to 9 00:00:33,947 --> 00:00:36,427 Speaker 2: play a little bit for you. They did the today 10 00:00:36,587 --> 00:00:38,507 Speaker 2: version and then the English version and I'll play the 11 00:00:38,587 --> 00:00:40,347 Speaker 2: last little bit of it just to give you an 12 00:00:40,347 --> 00:00:44,307 Speaker 2: idea of how fast the national anthem was sung. Haven't 13 00:00:44,307 --> 00:01:07,187 Speaker 2: listened to this started, so that's just last. But when 14 00:01:07,267 --> 00:01:11,027 Speaker 2: it started with the Todeo version, you can see the 15 00:01:11,067 --> 00:01:13,227 Speaker 2: players because they know the pan across the line of 16 00:01:13,227 --> 00:01:16,947 Speaker 2: the players and you can see them all they start 17 00:01:17,027 --> 00:01:20,507 Speaker 2: to sing the Todao version and then they basically just 18 00:01:20,587 --> 00:01:24,507 Speaker 2: start cracking up laughing because it's so fast. They just 19 00:01:24,547 --> 00:01:28,627 Speaker 2: don't have any hope of keeping up. And even by 20 00:01:28,667 --> 00:01:31,067 Speaker 2: the time the English part rolled around that none of 21 00:01:31,067 --> 00:01:33,827 Speaker 2: them were really singing at all. They were just looking 22 00:01:33,867 --> 00:01:36,827 Speaker 2: at one of the fin Allen is having a great laugh. 23 00:01:37,427 --> 00:01:41,947 Speaker 2: Matt Henry Andy was showing me some still photos this morning. 24 00:01:41,947 --> 00:01:44,667 Speaker 2: Matt Henry is like he's had a comedy gig. I mean, 25 00:01:44,667 --> 00:01:46,987 Speaker 2: it's a little bit disrespectful. I know we're not disrespectful. 26 00:01:46,987 --> 00:01:49,507 Speaker 2: We're a little bit out of place during the national anthem, 27 00:01:49,587 --> 00:01:52,827 Speaker 2: but it's so funny. How on earth have they got 28 00:01:52,827 --> 00:01:56,107 Speaker 2: it that wrong? Or why have they sped it up? 29 00:01:56,987 --> 00:01:59,507 Speaker 2: I'd be quite keen to get to the bottom of this. 30 00:02:00,507 --> 00:02:03,507 Speaker 2: On the field after the anthems, the black Caps have 31 00:02:03,627 --> 00:02:06,547 Speaker 2: their semi final fate now out of their hands. A 32 00:02:06,667 --> 00:02:09,627 Speaker 2: four wicket loss to England in Colombo this morning goes 33 00:02:09,747 --> 00:02:11,507 Speaker 2: fine and always fine, League, and. 34 00:02:11,547 --> 00:02:11,907 Speaker 1: That is it. 35 00:02:12,547 --> 00:02:15,467 Speaker 2: England have won this match out of nowhere. 36 00:02:15,507 --> 00:02:18,227 Speaker 1: Really, it was just minutes ago we were saying New 37 00:02:18,347 --> 00:02:21,827 Speaker 1: Zealand on eighty percent favorites to win it and England 38 00:02:21,827 --> 00:02:23,067 Speaker 1: have turned it on its head. 39 00:02:23,267 --> 00:02:25,547 Speaker 2: Yeah. After a hot start with the bat, New Zealand 40 00:02:25,547 --> 00:02:27,987 Speaker 2: slow down a bit to one fifty nine to seven 41 00:02:28,147 --> 00:02:30,987 Speaker 2: off their twenty overs. Glenn Phillips and Tim Seifford the 42 00:02:30,987 --> 00:02:33,867 Speaker 2: top scorers with thirty nine and thirty five respectively. England 43 00:02:33,867 --> 00:02:37,507 Speaker 2: were scrambling at one hundred and seventeen for six with 44 00:02:37,747 --> 00:02:40,467 Speaker 2: just three overs to go, but a really really good 45 00:02:40,507 --> 00:02:44,667 Speaker 2: partnership of forty four off just sixteen balls between Will 46 00:02:44,787 --> 00:02:47,947 Speaker 2: Jacks and Rayan Ahmed, who was on debut at this 47 00:02:48,027 --> 00:02:51,587 Speaker 2: World Cup, steered England to victory and kept them unbeaten 48 00:02:51,827 --> 00:02:55,747 Speaker 2: through the Super eight phase. They are into the semi finals. 49 00:02:55,787 --> 00:02:58,827 Speaker 2: England have made it through to the Semis. Now as 50 00:02:58,827 --> 00:03:04,107 Speaker 2: far as our fate is concerned, we need Sri Lanka 51 00:03:04,147 --> 00:03:07,907 Speaker 2: to beat Pakistan tomorrow. That's one possible way we can 52 00:03:07,987 --> 00:03:10,947 Speaker 2: get through. If Sri Lanka beat Pakistan, we go through. 53 00:03:10,947 --> 00:03:13,907 Speaker 2: Sri Lanka are out, they can't make the Semis. But 54 00:03:13,907 --> 00:03:16,787 Speaker 2: if they beat Pakistan, they not Pakistan out. So that's 55 00:03:16,827 --> 00:03:20,067 Speaker 2: the best result for Sri Lanka to beat Pakistan. And 56 00:03:20,107 --> 00:03:22,787 Speaker 2: this game is in Sri Lanka and they'll be disappointed 57 00:03:22,907 --> 00:03:25,267 Speaker 2: having not made the Semis, so you hope that they 58 00:03:25,307 --> 00:03:28,027 Speaker 2: will be pretty fired up, pretty motivated to win the game. 59 00:03:28,427 --> 00:03:31,187 Speaker 2: If Pakistan were to win the game, they would have 60 00:03:31,227 --> 00:03:34,467 Speaker 2: to win it convincingly to go past New Zealand's on 61 00:03:34,587 --> 00:03:37,787 Speaker 2: net run rate, and the calculation that's been done is 62 00:03:37,787 --> 00:03:41,707 Speaker 2: that Pakistan would if they bat first, would have to 63 00:03:41,787 --> 00:03:45,947 Speaker 2: win by sixty five runs or more. If they bat second, 64 00:03:46,307 --> 00:03:50,227 Speaker 2: they would have to chase their target down inside thirteen overs. 65 00:03:51,027 --> 00:03:54,227 Speaker 2: So both of those things feel quite unlikely in a 66 00:03:54,227 --> 00:03:58,067 Speaker 2: game of T twenty. So I feel like we're favorite 67 00:03:58,067 --> 00:04:00,867 Speaker 2: to go through, but it won't be confirmed until that 68 00:04:00,947 --> 00:04:03,187 Speaker 2: game tomorrow morning at two thirty. So by the time 69 00:04:03,587 --> 00:04:06,347 Speaker 2: you wake up tomorrow morning, you'll know whether the black 70 00:04:06,427 --> 00:04:09,387 Speaker 2: Caps are into the semi finals or whether their tournament 71 00:04:09,747 --> 00:04:13,067 Speaker 2: is over. Let's bring in black Caps opener Finn Allen. 72 00:04:13,187 --> 00:04:15,907 Speaker 2: As I say, Finn, this puts your semi final hopes 73 00:04:16,387 --> 00:04:18,747 Speaker 2: and the balance a little bit. How you're processing what 74 00:04:18,867 --> 00:04:22,347 Speaker 2: played out in Colombo in the game against England this morning. 75 00:04:23,507 --> 00:04:26,267 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was a close one, and yeah, naturally disappointed 76 00:04:26,627 --> 00:04:28,267 Speaker 3: as a group not to get the win. 77 00:04:28,947 --> 00:04:30,947 Speaker 4: But you know, I think it's still a lot of 78 00:04:30,987 --> 00:04:32,707 Speaker 4: positives for us to take from that game. 79 00:04:33,147 --> 00:04:36,107 Speaker 3: You know, unfortunately in somebody else's hands now, but I 80 00:04:36,107 --> 00:04:38,147 Speaker 3: think it will be a hell of a win for 81 00:04:38,227 --> 00:04:40,027 Speaker 3: Pakistan to go through. So I think, you know, we'll 82 00:04:40,107 --> 00:04:43,827 Speaker 3: be watching the game pretty closely tomorrow, and I guess, yeah, 83 00:04:43,867 --> 00:04:46,107 Speaker 3: like we say, just you know, we were fresh and 84 00:04:46,147 --> 00:04:48,787 Speaker 3: take the good from this and learn from the things 85 00:04:48,787 --> 00:04:51,387 Speaker 3: that we want to learn from and hope for the best. 86 00:04:51,587 --> 00:04:53,587 Speaker 2: Yeah, what are the positives that you take from it? Actually, 87 00:04:53,907 --> 00:04:55,787 Speaker 2: i'll throw one at you. The power play with yourself 88 00:04:55,787 --> 00:04:57,987 Speaker 2: and tim Cipher at the start, how happy were you 89 00:04:58,027 --> 00:04:59,547 Speaker 2: with the first six overs of the game. 90 00:05:00,547 --> 00:05:02,747 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I think we said, me and Timmy said 91 00:05:02,867 --> 00:05:04,987 Speaker 3: at the start that we just wanted to assess the Powerplayer. 92 00:05:04,987 --> 00:05:07,827 Speaker 3: We thought it could be quite tricky, you know Joffra 93 00:05:07,907 --> 00:05:09,707 Speaker 3: with that new boy gets it's a talk affair. It 94 00:05:09,747 --> 00:05:11,907 Speaker 3: was just a bit tacky, a lot of swing and 95 00:05:11,987 --> 00:05:14,787 Speaker 3: sea movement, which you know, it's pretty tricky to come 96 00:05:14,827 --> 00:05:17,747 Speaker 3: up against. And then yeah, we just kind of said 97 00:05:17,747 --> 00:05:20,387 Speaker 3: we'll take what we can get as long as we 98 00:05:20,427 --> 00:05:23,227 Speaker 3: can be unscathed or as little down as possible. Then 99 00:05:23,267 --> 00:05:25,027 Speaker 3: I think we could reap the rewards through the middle 100 00:05:25,027 --> 00:05:27,347 Speaker 3: and really dominate the spinners. 101 00:05:26,987 --> 00:05:27,907 Speaker 4: Through that middle period. 102 00:05:27,947 --> 00:05:30,987 Speaker 3: And unfortunately, we did the hard yards through the power play, 103 00:05:31,027 --> 00:05:33,707 Speaker 3: and then we gave it away, probably both of us, 104 00:05:33,707 --> 00:05:37,947 Speaker 3: pretty cheaply, unfortunately. So I mean, yeah, like I said, 105 00:05:37,947 --> 00:05:40,187 Speaker 3: there's there's good and bad to take from that. Definitely 106 00:05:40,187 --> 00:05:43,347 Speaker 3: some learnings and then yeah, I think, look, we got 107 00:05:43,347 --> 00:05:45,667 Speaker 3: ourselves to a fighting score and I think for the 108 00:05:45,667 --> 00:05:47,107 Speaker 3: most part we were on top of that game. 109 00:05:47,147 --> 00:05:48,707 Speaker 4: And that's two twenty cricket. 110 00:05:48,787 --> 00:05:52,467 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, just on the on the batting is the first 111 00:05:52,467 --> 00:05:54,267 Speaker 2: over is a maiden. I don't think anybody had that 112 00:05:54,347 --> 00:05:56,027 Speaker 2: on there, but on the bingo card at all. I 113 00:05:56,067 --> 00:05:58,627 Speaker 2: can't remember the last time the first over was a maiden. 114 00:05:58,667 --> 00:06:00,987 Speaker 2: What are the conversations you have after that with ties? 115 00:06:01,187 --> 00:06:03,027 Speaker 2: Did you sort of say, why, okay, we couldn't get 116 00:06:03,067 --> 00:06:04,267 Speaker 2: them away, let's go from here. 117 00:06:05,227 --> 00:06:05,427 Speaker 4: Yeah. 118 00:06:05,467 --> 00:06:07,947 Speaker 3: Look, I mean obviously i'd say, yes, it's all pretty 119 00:06:07,987 --> 00:06:09,587 Speaker 3: well to get a made it against one of us, 120 00:06:10,147 --> 00:06:13,307 Speaker 3: especially the way Timmy's going, But I think, you know, 121 00:06:13,307 --> 00:06:15,147 Speaker 3: it just showed that it was quite tricky to get 122 00:06:15,147 --> 00:06:18,107 Speaker 3: the start. Timmy's been hitting the ball beautifully, so like 123 00:06:18,147 --> 00:06:19,827 Speaker 3: I said, for him to bowl made into him as 124 00:06:20,347 --> 00:06:22,547 Speaker 3: you know, it's a good over, and I think we 125 00:06:22,627 --> 00:06:24,187 Speaker 3: just said, you know, stay in it will be better 126 00:06:24,267 --> 00:06:27,147 Speaker 3: for it. The longer we bet, the deeper we could 127 00:06:27,147 --> 00:06:29,547 Speaker 3: take it the bet off, hopefully our team would be 128 00:06:29,627 --> 00:06:32,307 Speaker 3: so and it just showed, you know, Timmy's staying in 129 00:06:32,307 --> 00:06:34,067 Speaker 3: it there in that last over that Joffra Bold and 130 00:06:34,107 --> 00:06:36,187 Speaker 3: the power player. I think it was the fifth you know, 131 00:06:36,187 --> 00:06:37,707 Speaker 3: he got a fuel way and he really got us 132 00:06:37,747 --> 00:06:40,627 Speaker 3: back in the game and well ahead of where we 133 00:06:40,667 --> 00:06:43,907 Speaker 3: wanted to be. So I think it just shows sometimes 134 00:06:43,907 --> 00:06:46,707 Speaker 3: when it's tricky at the top, staying in it and 135 00:06:46,867 --> 00:06:49,747 Speaker 3: working with each other as we enjoy doing is really 136 00:06:49,747 --> 00:06:51,147 Speaker 3: positive and powerful and. 137 00:06:51,147 --> 00:06:53,347 Speaker 2: Your own betting fun. How are you feeling about that. 138 00:06:53,427 --> 00:06:56,227 Speaker 2: You're striking it nicely, You're getting good starts, You've got 139 00:06:56,227 --> 00:06:58,547 Speaker 2: to start in most of your games. Yeah, I think 140 00:06:58,547 --> 00:07:01,187 Speaker 2: you strike rates one seventy one eighty. Hey, feeling your 141 00:07:01,227 --> 00:07:02,187 Speaker 2: own betting at this tournament? 142 00:07:02,947 --> 00:07:05,547 Speaker 3: My honestly, it's been an incredibly frustrating tournament for me, 143 00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:09,747 Speaker 3: start after start and then throwing it away. I feel 144 00:07:09,787 --> 00:07:12,667 Speaker 3: like I've had a lot of soft dismissals, which in 145 00:07:13,027 --> 00:07:16,347 Speaker 3: crucial games as well, which is, you know, extremely disappointing. 146 00:07:17,547 --> 00:07:19,107 Speaker 3: Like I was saying before, I think I've been doing 147 00:07:19,107 --> 00:07:22,667 Speaker 3: the hard work early and getting myself set and then yeah, 148 00:07:22,747 --> 00:07:27,267 Speaker 3: just throwing it away. So yeah, again, positives to take forward, 149 00:07:27,307 --> 00:07:29,547 Speaker 3: but also things to learn from. 150 00:07:30,147 --> 00:07:30,347 Speaker 4: You know. 151 00:07:30,467 --> 00:07:32,867 Speaker 3: I just really hope that we can get another crack 152 00:07:32,867 --> 00:07:36,307 Speaker 3: in this World Cup, in the super in the semi finals. 153 00:07:36,307 --> 00:07:37,987 Speaker 2: So interesting to hear you say that, man, because I 154 00:07:38,027 --> 00:07:39,987 Speaker 2: guess you think, okay, well, your job at the top 155 00:07:40,027 --> 00:07:41,787 Speaker 2: with Tim is to get the team off to a 156 00:07:41,827 --> 00:07:43,667 Speaker 2: good start, and if that means you know that after 157 00:07:43,707 --> 00:07:46,107 Speaker 2: six seven overs, then then you know you're out and 158 00:07:46,187 --> 00:07:48,347 Speaker 2: somebody else comes in your your job's done. But that's 159 00:07:48,387 --> 00:07:49,187 Speaker 2: not the way you feel. 160 00:07:50,387 --> 00:07:53,787 Speaker 4: No, I think it's extremely disappointing. 161 00:07:53,827 --> 00:07:55,787 Speaker 3: I think you know, I know I'm better than that, 162 00:07:55,827 --> 00:07:57,587 Speaker 3: and I want to be better than that, and I 163 00:07:57,627 --> 00:08:00,667 Speaker 3: think that's something that I've worked really hard on in 164 00:08:00,667 --> 00:08:03,747 Speaker 3: the last twelve months, is that consistency piece, and you know, 165 00:08:03,827 --> 00:08:07,147 Speaker 3: not giving it away. And I think from multiple reasons, 166 00:08:07,187 --> 00:08:12,027 Speaker 3: I think you know it just hasn't quite kicked on, which, 167 00:08:12,067 --> 00:08:14,587 Speaker 3: as I said, is you're very frustrating and disappointing. But 168 00:08:15,787 --> 00:08:17,987 Speaker 3: I think I'm starting. Well, it's just yeah, it's that 169 00:08:18,147 --> 00:08:20,947 Speaker 3: next little phase that I just need to be a 170 00:08:20,947 --> 00:08:22,227 Speaker 3: bit better and all right, well. 171 00:08:22,107 --> 00:08:24,427 Speaker 2: We'll look forward to to seeing what happens over the 172 00:08:24,427 --> 00:08:27,587 Speaker 2: next little in that regard and He's break one fifty 173 00:08:27,707 --> 00:08:29,227 Speaker 2: nine doesn't seem like a big total, but it was 174 00:08:29,347 --> 00:08:31,987 Speaker 2: enough against against Sri Lanka, wasn't it. Did you feel 175 00:08:32,027 --> 00:08:33,787 Speaker 2: that the halfway stage you were definitely in the game. 176 00:08:34,867 --> 00:08:37,507 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was a competitive score. I think 177 00:08:37,707 --> 00:08:40,227 Speaker 3: you'd always like to have a few more. A few 178 00:08:40,267 --> 00:08:42,667 Speaker 3: different guys had different feelings about the Wicked, obviously betting 179 00:08:42,667 --> 00:08:44,467 Speaker 3: at different times, but we could tell that it was 180 00:08:45,067 --> 00:08:47,947 Speaker 3: you know, it was turning and bouncing, probably a little 181 00:08:47,947 --> 00:08:51,467 Speaker 3: bit more consistently maybe than last game. But you know, 182 00:08:51,547 --> 00:08:53,947 Speaker 3: we always back our bowlers in the way that Tisa 183 00:08:54,027 --> 00:08:55,867 Speaker 3: and Locke started us off, you know, we can't ask 184 00:08:55,907 --> 00:09:00,107 Speaker 3: so much more. You know, they've been incredible this tournament. 185 00:09:00,787 --> 00:09:03,267 Speaker 3: Tias are particularly in that first over. You know, I'm 186 00:09:03,307 --> 00:09:06,227 Speaker 3: pretty glad he's on my side. It looks horrible to face. 187 00:09:06,387 --> 00:09:08,987 Speaker 3: So he's been getting like almost every best better in 188 00:09:09,027 --> 00:09:11,587 Speaker 3: their team out in the first over, so you know, 189 00:09:11,667 --> 00:09:14,627 Speaker 3: hats off to him. He'll be a big loss going 190 00:09:14,667 --> 00:09:17,747 Speaker 3: home for the semi final if we get there, but 191 00:09:17,907 --> 00:09:19,747 Speaker 3: you know, it's it just shows where his game's at 192 00:09:19,747 --> 00:09:23,187 Speaker 3: at the moment, and also Lockie as well. So yeah, 193 00:09:23,187 --> 00:09:24,547 Speaker 3: I think we definitely thought we were in for a 194 00:09:24,587 --> 00:09:25,547 Speaker 3: pretty good chance there. 195 00:09:25,827 --> 00:09:28,747 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I guess at one seventeen for six in 196 00:09:28,827 --> 00:09:31,547 Speaker 2: the seventeenth you think, okay, we've got the upper hand here. 197 00:09:31,667 --> 00:09:34,627 Speaker 2: So how difficult was it watching Will Jacks and rieham 198 00:09:34,827 --> 00:09:36,507 Speaker 2: Armi'd sort of take it away from you at the end. 199 00:09:37,427 --> 00:09:40,827 Speaker 3: It's always it's always a little bit heart ranging. But 200 00:09:41,067 --> 00:09:43,467 Speaker 3: I think you know, Will Jackson has done it all tournament. 201 00:09:43,507 --> 00:09:47,027 Speaker 3: He's finished off games for them extremely well. And you know, 202 00:09:47,067 --> 00:09:49,667 Speaker 3: I've played cricket with Ray Harn a fair bit as well, 203 00:09:49,667 --> 00:09:51,747 Speaker 3: and watch him player. I know he can he can 204 00:09:51,787 --> 00:09:53,667 Speaker 3: swing the back pretty nice, as he showed tonight. So 205 00:09:53,707 --> 00:09:56,227 Speaker 3: I think as disappointing as it is, you know, someone 206 00:09:56,227 --> 00:09:58,747 Speaker 3: has to lose, and that's twenty cricket. They played, they 207 00:09:58,747 --> 00:10:00,867 Speaker 3: played pretty well to finish that game off and get 208 00:10:00,867 --> 00:10:03,307 Speaker 3: the win. So hats off to them, and yeah, hopefully 209 00:10:03,347 --> 00:10:06,587 Speaker 3: we can yeah make it through and see them again. 210 00:10:06,667 --> 00:10:08,267 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess you just sit on in now and 211 00:10:08,347 --> 00:10:11,827 Speaker 2: cheer for Sri Lanka against Pakistandi. Oh I hope Pakistan, don't. 212 00:10:11,827 --> 00:10:14,227 Speaker 2: I mean it's a big ask, isn't it. I've seen 213 00:10:14,267 --> 00:10:16,467 Speaker 2: some maths. I have to win inside thirty and overs 214 00:10:16,507 --> 00:10:18,347 Speaker 2: or by sixty five runs, which is a big ask 215 00:10:18,387 --> 00:10:19,347 Speaker 2: in T twenty, isn't it. 216 00:10:20,107 --> 00:10:21,107 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a huge ass. 217 00:10:21,147 --> 00:10:24,307 Speaker 3: And again both teams have incredibly quality players and it 218 00:10:24,427 --> 00:10:25,667 Speaker 3: can be anyone's day on the day. 219 00:10:25,667 --> 00:10:27,587 Speaker 4: That's CE twenty cricket, right. I think we've seen that 220 00:10:27,667 --> 00:10:28,587 Speaker 4: this tournament. 221 00:10:28,747 --> 00:10:32,547 Speaker 3: So yeah, look we'll be cheering and hoping for the best, 222 00:10:32,627 --> 00:10:35,267 Speaker 3: but yeah, that's all we can do at the moment. 223 00:10:35,507 --> 00:10:38,587 Speaker 2: What was going on with the national anthem? 224 00:10:40,867 --> 00:10:45,227 Speaker 3: Honestly, it's I felt bad because a few of us 225 00:10:45,347 --> 00:10:48,067 Speaker 3: kind of couldn't stop. Well, we were trying not to laugh, 226 00:10:48,147 --> 00:10:50,387 Speaker 3: but the camera you can kind of see the little 227 00:10:50,747 --> 00:10:52,587 Speaker 3: weely thing of the front street on you and you're 228 00:10:52,587 --> 00:10:56,147 Speaker 3: trying not to lose it. But yeah, that was pretty funny. 229 00:10:56,187 --> 00:10:59,387 Speaker 3: It was a bit of a remix. It was quite 230 00:10:59,387 --> 00:11:01,427 Speaker 3: hard to sing. Actually, a few of the boys were 231 00:11:01,427 --> 00:11:04,507 Speaker 3: struggling to keep up with the pace, but yeah, they're 232 00:11:04,507 --> 00:11:06,067 Speaker 3: We had to wait like an extra three or four 233 00:11:06,107 --> 00:11:08,227 Speaker 3: minutes me and Timmy got out there because the anthems 234 00:11:08,227 --> 00:11:08,667 Speaker 3: were in too. 235 00:11:08,747 --> 00:11:12,387 Speaker 2: QUI on a shefl see. I thought I was waiting 236 00:11:12,387 --> 00:11:13,747 Speaker 2: for the beat to drop. I thought it was the 237 00:11:13,827 --> 00:11:17,267 Speaker 2: remix or something like that. Crazy old stuff. All right, mate, Hey, 238 00:11:17,307 --> 00:11:19,227 Speaker 2: great to chat fin, Thanks as always, mate, look forward 239 00:11:19,227 --> 00:11:21,907 Speaker 2: to Sri Lanka beating Pakistan and you guys into the semis. 240 00:11:22,227 --> 00:11:23,587 Speaker 2: I hope that's the way it plays out. 241 00:11:24,427 --> 00:11:26,067 Speaker 4: Chees Funey, appreciate it, mate, have a good one. 242 00:11:26,027 --> 00:11:28,227 Speaker 2: Navor, good one too, Finn thanks indeed, Finn Allen there 243 00:11:28,787 --> 00:11:31,667 Speaker 2: with his thoughts after this morning. So yeah, so just 244 00:11:31,667 --> 00:11:36,507 Speaker 2: to repeat the equation that, yeah, let's just all chair 245 00:11:36,587 --> 00:11:39,067 Speaker 2: for Sri Lanka. That's the easiest way to look at this. 246 00:11:39,147 --> 00:11:42,267 Speaker 2: If Sri Lanka beat Pakistan tomorrow morning, then New Zealand 247 00:11:42,307 --> 00:11:45,227 Speaker 2: are into the semi finals. That is the simple equation. 248 00:11:45,387 --> 00:11:47,707 Speaker 2: The other part of it, if Pakistan were to beat 249 00:11:47,747 --> 00:11:49,907 Speaker 2: Sri Lanka, then we don't want them to win by 250 00:11:49,987 --> 00:11:54,347 Speaker 2: sixty five runs or chase down a total inside thirteen overs. 251 00:11:54,387 --> 00:11:56,987 Speaker 2: There you go, that's what has to happen. The other 252 00:11:57,067 --> 00:11:59,627 Speaker 2: game from the other Super Eights, Paul, that is really 253 00:11:59,627 --> 00:12:03,867 Speaker 2: interesting is India against the West Indies. This is effectively 254 00:12:04,907 --> 00:12:07,787 Speaker 2: a straight shootout for the semi final. South Africa are 255 00:12:07,827 --> 00:12:11,387 Speaker 2: already through they play Zimbabwe. This game is when's that 256 00:12:11,507 --> 00:12:14,387 Speaker 2: tomorrow night at ten thirty and then two thirty in 257 00:12:14,387 --> 00:12:16,787 Speaker 2: the morning. This is all New Zealand time. Obviously two 258 00:12:16,867 --> 00:12:19,107 Speaker 2: thirty in the morning Monday. India Arians the Western is 259 00:12:19,147 --> 00:12:22,107 Speaker 2: the winner goes into the semis. So we know that 260 00:12:22,187 --> 00:12:26,507 Speaker 2: South Africa and England are there. One of Us or 261 00:12:26,547 --> 00:12:29,347 Speaker 2: Pakistan will be there, and one of India or the 262 00:12:29,387 --> 00:12:31,627 Speaker 2: West Indies will be there. So I guess the cream 263 00:12:31,707 --> 00:12:33,827 Speaker 2: is rising to the top. I mean, be great if 264 00:12:33,827 --> 00:12:35,467 Speaker 2: we were there, wouldn't it you know. I don't know 265 00:12:35,507 --> 00:12:38,307 Speaker 2: who we'd play. I don't know what the semifinal matchup is. 266 00:12:38,547 --> 00:12:41,467 Speaker 2: It's all to be confirmed. But I feel like on 267 00:12:41,507 --> 00:12:44,387 Speaker 2: our day, like any of these teams, we can beat anybody, 268 00:12:44,387 --> 00:12:46,947 Speaker 2: can't we We could have beat in England this morning. 269 00:12:46,947 --> 00:12:47,067 Speaker 1: You know. 270 00:12:47,107 --> 00:12:48,907 Speaker 2: It's just that one over that when from about twenty 271 00:12:48,987 --> 00:12:52,867 Speaker 2: I think Glenn Phillips bolted it was the eighteenth over 272 00:12:52,947 --> 00:12:55,667 Speaker 2: from memory, that just that's kind of when it got 273 00:12:55,667 --> 00:12:59,067 Speaker 2: away from us. And this can happen in T twenty. 274 00:12:59,067 --> 00:13:01,347 Speaker 2: The number of times you talk to people about T 275 00:13:01,507 --> 00:13:04,747 Speaker 2: twenty cricket and they talk about how within the space 276 00:13:04,867 --> 00:13:09,147 Speaker 2: of four or five balls things can change. I'm just 277 00:13:09,187 --> 00:13:12,467 Speaker 2: going to find this over. I'm pretty sure it was 278 00:13:13,427 --> 00:13:15,547 Speaker 2: a Glenn Philips over. Here was the eighteenth over and 279 00:13:15,587 --> 00:13:20,227 Speaker 2: it went for twenty two runs a leg by a six, 280 00:13:20,427 --> 00:13:23,467 Speaker 2: a single, another six, a four, and a four, so 281 00:13:23,627 --> 00:13:26,187 Speaker 2: twenty two off that over, putting them right back in it. 282 00:13:26,507 --> 00:13:29,067 Speaker 2: They then needed twenty one off the last two and 283 00:13:29,107 --> 00:13:32,147 Speaker 2: they got there. Okay the anthem. I've had lots of 284 00:13:32,147 --> 00:13:44,187 Speaker 2: feedback about the anthem and the quickness of it. A 285 00:13:44,227 --> 00:13:46,547 Speaker 2: lot of people like it, a lot of people like 286 00:13:46,587 --> 00:13:49,907 Speaker 2: it that fast, Marilynd says Piney. I love the anthem 287 00:13:49,947 --> 00:13:54,907 Speaker 2: at that speed. Let's make it official, Piney, says Judd. 288 00:13:54,947 --> 00:13:58,027 Speaker 2: The national anthem. Usually it's a dirge, slow and boring. 289 00:13:58,067 --> 00:14:00,987 Speaker 2: The fast one at least as a bit of omph. 290 00:14:01,347 --> 00:14:04,547 Speaker 2: Other countries have pep in their anthems. It's a lee Argentina, 291 00:14:04,547 --> 00:14:06,867 Speaker 2: even Australias gets you go. And I don't know, I 292 00:14:06,867 --> 00:14:08,787 Speaker 2: don't have a problem with the speed. And if the 293 00:14:08,787 --> 00:14:11,467 Speaker 2: players know the words, they should keep up. Chad, I'm 294 00:14:11,507 --> 00:14:12,787 Speaker 2: sure they would we keep up if they knew it 295 00:14:12,827 --> 00:14:14,587 Speaker 2: was going to be that quick. Once they knew it 296 00:14:14,667 --> 00:14:17,507 Speaker 2: was that quick, they were just laughing. BFC's Jason the 297 00:14:17,587 --> 00:14:20,067 Speaker 2: national lanth. They probably thought two versions take too long. 298 00:14:20,267 --> 00:14:23,667 Speaker 2: Everybody else only has one. Very funny though funny to 299 00:14:23,707 --> 00:14:26,147 Speaker 2: hear Finellen say though, that once they got out there, 300 00:14:26,227 --> 00:14:28,187 Speaker 2: the anthems had happened so quickly that they had to 301 00:14:28,227 --> 00:14:31,067 Speaker 2: wait for three or four minutes, so the official start 302 00:14:31,067 --> 00:14:33,907 Speaker 2: time Piney a brilliant version of the anthem, says this one. 303 00:14:34,107 --> 00:14:36,667 Speaker 2: I've always wanted it to have a quicker tempo. But 304 00:14:36,747 --> 00:14:40,747 Speaker 2: if a dirge when it's done normally, Peter says, that's 305 00:14:40,787 --> 00:14:43,147 Speaker 2: exactly how fast it should be played, far better than 306 00:14:43,187 --> 00:14:46,827 Speaker 2: the dreadful dirge normally sung. There's that word again, dirge. 307 00:14:47,147 --> 00:14:48,987 Speaker 2: I don't think we haven't had that word on the 308 00:14:49,027 --> 00:14:50,587 Speaker 2: radio for a while, and now a couple of times 309 00:14:50,587 --> 00:14:53,987 Speaker 2: in a minute, here's one from h doesn't say who. 310 00:14:54,027 --> 00:14:56,707 Speaker 2: The national anthem was always some too slow, like a dirge. 311 00:14:56,867 --> 00:15:00,907 Speaker 2: There it is our anthems a dirge according to this person, 312 00:15:00,947 --> 00:15:03,147 Speaker 2: stop making a mountain out of a molehill? Is that 313 00:15:03,187 --> 00:15:04,947 Speaker 2: all we've got to talk about? No, I just thought 314 00:15:04,987 --> 00:15:06,667 Speaker 2: it was funny. I just thought it was funny. With 315 00:15:06,787 --> 00:15:08,787 Speaker 2: other things to talk about as well, we'll move on 316 00:15:08,827 --> 00:15:11,507 Speaker 2: in a second. Piney says Josh. It's an improvement on 317 00:15:11,507 --> 00:15:14,227 Speaker 2: our dull anthem. Let's keep it going that way. Isn't 318 00:15:14,267 --> 00:15:16,747 Speaker 2: it great? They sped it up, says Trash, because it 319 00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:25,547 Speaker 2: is such a dirge when it's slowly. Oh, brilliant, brilliant 320 00:15:26,227 --> 00:15:28,387 Speaker 2: one twenty six. Be interesting to see what they do 321 00:15:29,747 --> 00:15:32,147 Speaker 2: before the next game, the semi final, if New Zealand 322 00:15:32,147 --> 00:15:35,627 Speaker 2: are in it. And I'd like to know what led 323 00:15:35,667 --> 00:15:38,027 Speaker 2: to that, because that's clearly you know, that hasn't been 324 00:15:38,027 --> 00:15:41,667 Speaker 2: the anthem that's been played before the other games. But 325 00:15:41,747 --> 00:15:45,827 Speaker 2: when I mean again, it's it's you know, it's well, 326 00:15:45,867 --> 00:15:48,107 Speaker 2: the more you hear it, the more you hear it, 327 00:15:48,107 --> 00:15:49,587 Speaker 2: the more you think, you know what, it's actually not 328 00:15:49,627 --> 00:15:59,707 Speaker 2: too bad. It's not dirgy. It could not call this 329 00:15:59,827 --> 00:16:12,107 Speaker 2: a dirge. As I say, I urge you to find 330 00:16:12,147 --> 00:16:15,067 Speaker 2: the footage of the camera panning along the New Zealand players. 331 00:16:15,067 --> 00:16:17,947 Speaker 2: Fin Allen's actually the first one, I think who breaks character. 332 00:16:18,347 --> 00:16:20,707 Speaker 2: It starts starts laughing and then they. 333 00:16:20,667 --> 00:16:24,387 Speaker 1: All join in for more from Weekend Sport with Jason Fine. 334 00:16:24,507 --> 00:16:27,787 Speaker 1: Listen live to News talk Ed b weekends from midday, 335 00:16:28,067 --> 00:16:30,147 Speaker 1: or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
