1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 1: Weg mechner'sveg got any white bait for us? 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 2: Hey Luke No, sadly, no mate. No conditions over on 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 2: the coast while we went Saturday and that had a 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 2: lot of rain. Rivers were flooded and they pretty much 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 2: stayed flooded. I think the day we left probably was 6 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: the best day, but of course we didn't have time. 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: Well, I hope the refreshments and the camaraderie made up 8 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: for it. Big weekend to sport once again. It starts 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: tonight silver Ferns in Melbourne for Constellation number one and 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: the cup currently sitting in our cabinets, so keen to 11 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: keep it that way because it's a competition that's historically 12 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: been dominated by the Aussies. 13 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. I think the problem here is that, of 14 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 2: course everyone's talking about what's happening off the court rather 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 2: than what's happening on the court, and you wonder whether 16 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: there's much unification in that New Zealand team. Quite clearly 17 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 2: there's a differing views over Dame Nolene, so that's sort 18 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 2: of the backstory. But once they get on the court 19 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 2: then I hope we do prove to be competitive. It's 20 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 2: going to be a tough ask for sure, to beat 21 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: the Aussies, who over the last decade or have consistently 22 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 2: been the best team. Of course, we're had our own, 23 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: We've had a few great moments, but it's going to 24 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: be intriguing to watch tomorrow night. 25 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: The summer of cricket continues. We welcome England for T 26 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: twenty one, the Brendan McCullen coached side, although a key 27 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: we take over because I saw on the news last 28 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: night the Tim Soudi's in there too. 29 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm probably Jetan Pateel. I don't know whether he's 30 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 2: still around, but he was the spin coach for England 31 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: for a long time. But whether they're still there, I'm 32 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: not sure, but yeah, look, it'll be intriguing. We've already 33 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: seen some competitive stuff from the Aussie series knows Caine 34 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: Williamson still which is a little bit disappointing, but nevertheless 35 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: it is going to be intriguing to see. Of course 36 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: the English and even though it's a completely different former cricket, 37 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: there'll be one or two players who move on to it. 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: The Ashes coming up, so it's going to be a 39 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 2: great summer and it's certainly starting on a high note. 40 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: A bit of a conundrum for Canterbury fans. You've got 41 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: that playing at it Hagley, but then at the same time, 42 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: just a few blocks away, Canterbury are hosting hawks Bay 43 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: in the MPC semi final. What are you picking for this? 44 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's either a feast or a famine, isn't it really? 45 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: Look it's going to be a great game. I mean, 46 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 2: I think a Hawks Bay are a good side. Canterbury 47 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 2: had to work really hard to get to the semifinals. 48 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: Counties proved to be pretty difficult. Homeground avata means a lot, 49 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 2: of course, so you'd have to go with the Red 50 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 2: and Blacks and if that's the case, then it could 51 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: possibly set up a great Southern Derby for the final, 52 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: which would be great. 53 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: Well, Southern Derby's galore this weekend. Here's a bit of fun. 54 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 1: There's both both of those NPC semis are being held 55 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: in the South Island, as well as the Heartland, Lahore 56 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: and Mead Cups finals. When was the last time that happened? 57 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: Oh? Boy, couldn't tell you it, could not tell you. Yeah, 58 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: absolutely right, it's fantastic and mid Canbury have had a 59 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: great season as we know, and you know I think 60 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 2: of signs pointing to them going ahead and winning the 61 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: Meads Cup.
