Speaker 2: twenty Internationals, then three One Day Internationals against the same

55
00:03:06,587 --> 00:03:09,627
Speaker 2: opposition Wellington or round of Michael Bracewell and the New

56
00:03:09,707 --> 00:03:11,867
Speaker 2: Zealand squad for both of these series four.

57
00:03:11,787 --> 00:03:15,507
Speaker 3: Needed off two balls, he laughs at that's over the

58
00:03:15,587 --> 00:03:19,467
Speaker 3: head that's going to run away and Michael brace Waite,

59
00:03:19,787 --> 00:03:24,027
Speaker 3: he stands out the players run out the greatest sittings

60
00:03:24,227 --> 00:03:27,187
Speaker 3: at twenty twenty cricket and New Zealand domestic history.

61
00:03:27,987 --> 00:03:30,267
Speaker 4: He's lifted via his teammates.

62
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:34,507
Speaker 2: The hands up. That is simply outstanding. Michael Bracewell is

63
00:03:34,547 --> 00:03:37,027
Speaker 2: with us out of Malmoganu. Thanks for taking the time

64
00:03:37,027 --> 00:03:38,627
Speaker 2: on game day, Michael. You had to look at Sri

65
00:03:38,707 --> 00:03:42,107
Speaker 2: Lanka quite recently, back in November. He had t twenty

66
00:03:42,507 --> 00:03:45,707
Speaker 2: and one day internationals against them over there. How do

67
00:03:45,707 --> 00:03:47,827
Speaker 2: you reckon you match up against the Sri Lankan cricket

68
00:03:47,867 --> 00:03:49,427
Speaker 2: side in the white ball stuff?

69
00:03:50,547 --> 00:03:53,867
Speaker 5: Yeah, we am obviously playing in very different conditions over there.

70
00:03:53,867 --> 00:03:57,987
Speaker 5: In Shotka had a tied series, so it'd be cool

71
00:03:58,027 --> 00:04:00,547
Speaker 5: to extend that out and it was one all in

72
00:04:00,547 --> 00:04:03,827
Speaker 5: that series, so it will be cool to have three

73
00:04:03,907 --> 00:04:06,347
Speaker 5: here and hopefully find a winner between the two.

74
00:04:06,867 --> 00:04:09,307
Speaker 2: Do you think I mean, it probably stands to reason

75
00:04:09,347 --> 00:04:11,507
Speaker 2: that home conditions would favor in New Zealand, but do

76
00:04:11,547 --> 00:04:12,787
Speaker 2: you think that will be the case.

77
00:04:14,187 --> 00:04:14,427
Speaker 6: Oh?

78
00:04:14,467 --> 00:04:16,267
Speaker 5: Look, I think it's going to be a great series

79
00:04:16,307 --> 00:04:19,507
Speaker 5: that that we tightally contested. I think with all the

80
00:04:19,507 --> 00:04:22,107
Speaker 5: cricket being played all around the world now with the

81
00:04:22,107 --> 00:04:27,067
Speaker 5: franchise leagues and things, that the home advantage probably isn't

82
00:04:27,147 --> 00:04:30,787
Speaker 5: quite what it used to be. You see New Zealand

83
00:04:30,827 --> 00:04:33,667
Speaker 5: going over and winning Tests series in India, which has

84
00:04:33,747 --> 00:04:36,907
Speaker 5: never been done before, and then vice versa when India

85
00:04:36,947 --> 00:04:40,107
Speaker 5: come the games are very close here. So I think

86
00:04:40,787 --> 00:04:45,947
Speaker 5: the development of the franchise leagues has really narrowed the

87
00:04:45,987 --> 00:04:50,907
Speaker 5: gap of your home conditions being advantageous. But I still

88
00:04:50,947 --> 00:04:55,267
Speaker 5: think you've obviously spent all your formative years playing on

89
00:04:55,347 --> 00:04:58,387
Speaker 5: these wickets, so you like to think you have a

90
00:04:58,387 --> 00:05:01,067
Speaker 5: bit of an advantage. Even still can.

91
00:05:00,987 --> 00:05:04,347
Speaker 2: Ask about your bowling in T twenties. Are your economy

92
00:05:04,467 --> 00:05:07,187
Speaker 2: really impressive? You go for less than six and a

93
00:05:07,227 --> 00:05:10,027
Speaker 2: half an over, that's across your entire T twenty career.

94
00:05:10,827 --> 00:05:15,427
Speaker 2: What is your T twenty bowling strategy?

95
00:05:16,187 --> 00:05:19,667
Speaker 5: I think for me, I'm luckier in some ways. I

96
00:05:19,707 --> 00:05:22,667
Speaker 5: don't have a lot of variations, so it means that

97
00:05:22,747 --> 00:05:25,267
Speaker 5: I have to be really accurate with the with the

98
00:05:25,307 --> 00:05:28,507
Speaker 5: balls that I do bowl. So I guess some people

99
00:05:28,547 --> 00:05:32,627
Speaker 5: who have lots of variations probably stand at the top

100
00:05:32,667 --> 00:05:35,507
Speaker 5: of their mark wondering what ball to bowl whereas I

101
00:05:35,587 --> 00:05:37,547
Speaker 5: know which one I have to bowl, it's just it's

102
00:05:37,587 --> 00:05:41,427
Speaker 5: just a matter of executing it. It does, I think,

103
00:05:41,787 --> 00:05:45,587
Speaker 5: keep things simple for me. But yeah, I guess other

104
00:05:45,667 --> 00:05:50,267
Speaker 5: than that, everyone everyone sort of thinks that ride our

105
00:05:50,347 --> 00:05:53,867
Speaker 5: mothstains a matchup, So it means that that batters try

106
00:05:53,907 --> 00:05:56,987
Speaker 5: and come after you, which creates chances to look at

107
00:05:57,027 --> 00:05:57,787
Speaker 5: some things as well.

108
00:05:58,067 --> 00:06:00,147
Speaker 2: Shrillinka do have quite a few left handers as well.

109
00:06:00,347 --> 00:06:02,627
Speaker 2: Does that bring you more into play as a wicket

110
00:06:02,627 --> 00:06:03,907
Speaker 2: taking bowler as a right I'm.

111
00:06:03,747 --> 00:06:07,747
Speaker 5: Offy, yeah, I think so. Traditionally, when the ball's turning

112
00:06:07,747 --> 00:06:09,747
Speaker 5: away it's a little bit tougher for the batsman, but

113
00:06:10,667 --> 00:06:14,347
Speaker 5: twenty twenty cricket now no one sears anyone really, you've

114
00:06:14,387 --> 00:06:18,347
Speaker 5: got to take the game on, so I think yeah,

115
00:06:18,987 --> 00:06:23,387
Speaker 5: everyone's looking to be aggressive against all spinners, is particularly

116
00:06:23,387 --> 00:06:26,387
Speaker 5: in New Zealand. So we know that and that's something

117
00:06:26,427 --> 00:06:29,027
Speaker 5: that we factor into our plans.

118
00:06:28,827 --> 00:06:30,187
Speaker 2: And just want to find a one on your bowling.

119
00:06:30,227 --> 00:06:33,547
Speaker 2: Do you have specific overs that you prefer to bowl

120
00:06:33,707 --> 00:06:34,907
Speaker 2: in a twenty overrunnings?

121
00:06:36,387 --> 00:06:36,587
Speaker 7: Oh?

122
00:06:36,667 --> 00:06:40,587
Speaker 5: Look, the power play is always difficult, but it's a

123
00:06:40,707 --> 00:06:43,307
Speaker 5: job that has to be done at times and obviously

124
00:06:43,387 --> 00:06:45,507
Speaker 5: only having two fielders out is a little bit tricky,

125
00:06:45,547 --> 00:06:49,027
Speaker 5: but again that keeps things nice and simple because you

126
00:06:49,067 --> 00:06:52,387
Speaker 5: have to bowl to your field, so there's some clarity

127
00:06:52,587 --> 00:06:55,867
Speaker 5: that comes with bowling in the power play. And then yeah,

128
00:06:55,867 --> 00:06:58,307
Speaker 5: when you've got when you've got the five fielders out

129
00:06:58,307 --> 00:06:59,787
Speaker 5: on the boundary, you feel like you have a little

130
00:06:59,827 --> 00:07:03,187
Speaker 5: bit more protection, but sometimes it's not any easier. So look,

131
00:07:03,627 --> 00:07:05,787
Speaker 5: they're all tough overs to bowl in a twenty twenty,

132
00:07:05,867 --> 00:07:08,347
Speaker 5: just cushing now when teams are looking to get an

133
00:07:08,347 --> 00:07:11,947
Speaker 5: excess of two hundred. So yeah, you try and build

134
00:07:11,987 --> 00:07:13,867
Speaker 5: a little bit of pressure and then and then be

135
00:07:14,027 --> 00:07:15,227
Speaker 5: really adaptable from there.

136
00:07:15,627 --> 00:07:18,587
Speaker 2: And with the bat you floated around some of various

137
00:07:18,627 --> 00:07:20,827
Speaker 2: spots in the in the middle order. Do you have

138
00:07:20,867 --> 00:07:23,427
Speaker 2: a natural home in the T twenty batting order?

139
00:07:25,027 --> 00:07:27,627
Speaker 5: Domestically? I've played a little bit more at the top

140
00:07:27,667 --> 00:07:30,387
Speaker 5: of the order and had a little of success there,

141
00:07:30,427 --> 00:07:33,787
Speaker 5: But when you come into the international arena, you've sort

142
00:07:33,827 --> 00:07:36,347
Speaker 5: of just got to find a place that fits, and

143
00:07:36,387 --> 00:07:39,347
Speaker 5: for me that's down the middle to lower order at

144
00:07:39,347 --> 00:07:43,267
Speaker 5: the moment. So I'm just really trying to trying to

145
00:07:43,267 --> 00:07:47,267
Speaker 5: find how that role fits my strengths and really play

146
00:07:47,307 --> 00:07:49,387
Speaker 5: to those so it is a little bit of trial

147
00:07:49,627 --> 00:07:53,987
Speaker 5: an error at times, but I think when you've got

148
00:07:54,027 --> 00:07:57,067
Speaker 5: power you just try and back that And yeah, I

149
00:07:57,067 --> 00:07:59,627
Speaker 5: probably haven't had the success I would like in terms

150
00:07:59,667 --> 00:08:02,587
Speaker 5: of my batting at the moment, but I feel like

151
00:08:02,627 --> 00:08:05,027
Speaker 5: a good innings is just around the corner. With sticking

152
00:08:05,027 --> 00:08:05,787
Speaker 5: to my strengths.

153
00:08:06,387 --> 00:08:09,267
Speaker 2: Do you think you're scoring areas or the number of

154
00:08:09,307 --> 00:08:13,067
Speaker 2: areas in which you score have increased over time or

155
00:08:13,107 --> 00:08:16,147
Speaker 2: have you generally stuck to you know what you know?

156
00:08:16,227 --> 00:08:20,547
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I think you're constantly trying to evolve your game,

157
00:08:20,627 --> 00:08:24,227
Speaker 5: and when you get up to the international level, there's

158
00:08:25,027 --> 00:08:27,147
Speaker 5: the bowlers are obviously a lot more skillful, so you

159
00:08:27,227 --> 00:08:29,747
Speaker 5: have to find different ways to score. So I've tried

160
00:08:29,747 --> 00:08:32,947
Speaker 5: to been I have tried to look to play a

161
00:08:32,987 --> 00:08:35,107
Speaker 5: little bit more around the ground in the international game,

162
00:08:35,147 --> 00:08:38,187
Speaker 5: and I think, you know, the more that you work

163
00:08:38,227 --> 00:08:40,787
Speaker 5: on that, the more comfortable you get and the more

164
00:08:40,827 --> 00:08:42,867
Speaker 5: that you feel comfortable bringing them out in the middle.

165
00:08:42,907 --> 00:08:45,747
Speaker 5: So that's something I've worked really hard on, is to

166
00:08:45,787 --> 00:08:47,987
Speaker 5: develop my game into a position where I can score

167
00:08:48,067 --> 00:08:49,507
Speaker 5: all around the ground and.

168
00:08:49,467 --> 00:08:51,667
Speaker 2: Your Wellington team make Tim Robinson is in the T

169
00:08:51,667 --> 00:08:53,907
Speaker 2: twenty squad for these ones, he'll open the batting, no doubt.

170
00:08:54,147 --> 00:08:56,707
Speaker 2: Still early in his T twenty career, I think this

171
00:08:56,747 --> 00:08:58,787
Speaker 2: is the first time he'll play for New Zealand. In

172
00:08:58,867 --> 00:09:01,347
Speaker 2: New Zealand, how do you assess his ability to be

173
00:09:01,787 --> 00:09:04,187
Speaker 2: a consistent international T twenty player.

174
00:09:04,787 --> 00:09:08,227
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's setting all beautiful at the moment. He's had

175
00:09:08,227 --> 00:09:11,267
Speaker 5: a taste of what the Shrilankin bowlers can offer and

176
00:09:11,707 --> 00:09:14,587
Speaker 5: obviously the wickets were not conducive to scoring a whole

177
00:09:14,587 --> 00:09:17,387
Speaker 5: lot of runs over there. Some of the games there's

178
00:09:17,427 --> 00:09:20,547
Speaker 5: only one hundred and twentyred hundred runs scored. So I

179
00:09:20,587 --> 00:09:24,307
Speaker 5: think him having that experience and knowing what Srilanka will

180
00:09:24,307 --> 00:09:25,827
Speaker 5: be throwing at him at the top of the order,

181
00:09:25,867 --> 00:09:30,587
Speaker 5: he'll be all the better for that experience. And he's

182
00:09:30,627 --> 00:09:33,627
Speaker 5: a young, young lad, but he's got an old head

183
00:09:33,627 --> 00:09:35,787
Speaker 5: on his shoulders, so he'll take it all in his

184
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:38,507
Speaker 5: stride and I think it's going to be an amazing

185
00:09:38,547 --> 00:09:41,027
Speaker 5: series for him. He's, as I said, he'shitting the ball

186
00:09:41,067 --> 00:09:44,267
Speaker 5: beautifully in the nets and all it takes is one

187
00:09:44,347 --> 00:09:45,867
Speaker 5: ball to come out of the middle. And we've seen

188
00:09:45,867 --> 00:09:47,667
Speaker 5: what he can do at the domestic level and I'm

189
00:09:48,307 --> 00:09:51,067
Speaker 5: sure that that BIG's score in international crickets not far

190
00:09:51,107 --> 00:09:52,307
Speaker 5: away indeed.

191
00:09:51,987 --> 00:09:54,427
Speaker 2: And the games come thick and fast. The three T

192
00:09:54,427 --> 00:09:58,667
Speaker 2: twenties followed almost immediately by three One day internationals. How

193
00:09:58,707 --> 00:10:01,547
Speaker 2: easy do you find it now switching between the two

194
00:10:01,947 --> 00:10:03,667
Speaker 2: white ball formats fairly quickly?

195
00:10:04,867 --> 00:10:08,107
Speaker 5: Yeah, you just have to get used to pioneers. It's

196
00:10:08,147 --> 00:10:10,347
Speaker 5: something that happens very quickly. I think we play on

197
00:10:10,387 --> 00:10:14,067
Speaker 5: the second and then the fifth in Wellington, so you've

198
00:10:14,067 --> 00:10:17,067
Speaker 5: only got a couple of days after your fly, after

199
00:10:17,107 --> 00:10:19,267
Speaker 5: your fly in between cities as well to get used

200
00:10:19,267 --> 00:10:22,267
Speaker 5: to what's going on. So yeah, it's just something that

201
00:10:23,027 --> 00:10:26,187
Speaker 5: you're constantly changing between formats. The guys have just come

202
00:10:26,187 --> 00:10:28,187
Speaker 5: out of Test cricket and then going straight into twenty

203
00:10:28,227 --> 00:10:30,627
Speaker 5: twenty cricket for a lot of them, So yeah, it's

204
00:10:30,827 --> 00:10:33,507
Speaker 5: it's a part of the international game and what keeps

205
00:10:33,507 --> 00:10:36,467
Speaker 5: it interesting. I think, Yeah, this series is going to

206
00:10:36,467 --> 00:10:38,827
Speaker 5: be is going to be great. We're in a great

207
00:10:38,827 --> 00:10:41,507
Speaker 5: holiday spot here in the Mount so hopefully we have

208
00:10:41,547 --> 00:10:43,187
Speaker 5: some amazing crowds up here as well.

209
00:10:43,267 --> 00:10:43,467
Speaker 8: Yeah.

210
00:10:43,467 --> 00:10:45,267
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you about the venue there. Yeah,

211
00:10:45,347 --> 00:10:48,067
Speaker 2: under liked Bayoval holiday period. Do you like it as

212
00:10:48,067 --> 00:10:50,987
Speaker 2: a venue the Bayoval? Does it is it a place

213
00:10:51,027 --> 00:10:51,627
Speaker 2: you like playing.

214
00:10:52,187 --> 00:10:55,387
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a beautiful ground. It holds a special place

215
00:10:55,387 --> 00:10:57,987
Speaker 5: in my heart. It's where I made my international debut,

216
00:10:58,107 --> 00:11:02,227
Speaker 5: so there's always some good memories there. And my dad

217
00:11:02,267 --> 00:11:07,187
Speaker 5: actually grew up in Todonger as well, so we used

218
00:11:07,187 --> 00:11:10,827
Speaker 5: to spend some school holidays coming up and visiting Grandma

219
00:11:10,867 --> 00:11:13,947
Speaker 5: and Glendad and so family up here. So yeah, it's

220
00:11:13,987 --> 00:11:17,227
Speaker 5: a special place for us. And it's a beautiful ground.

221
00:11:17,827 --> 00:11:19,947
Speaker 5: The climate's amazing here. You can go down to the

222
00:11:19,947 --> 00:11:23,907
Speaker 5: beach to recover. Yeah, it is pretty special.

223
00:11:23,707 --> 00:11:26,467
Speaker 2: Wonderful stuff. And I know you're only focusing on these matches,

224
00:11:26,467 --> 00:11:30,347
Speaker 2: but looking ahead, the Champions Trophy comes up February March.

225
00:11:30,467 --> 00:11:31,987
Speaker 2: Is that something that's on your radar.

226
00:11:32,907 --> 00:11:33,107
Speaker 6: Yeah.

227
00:11:33,107 --> 00:11:37,107
Speaker 5: I think those ODI Eyes especially will be a good

228
00:11:37,187 --> 00:11:39,787
Speaker 5: chance as a team to really try and hone in

229
00:11:39,907 --> 00:11:43,347
Speaker 5: on how we want to play Odio cricket and any

230
00:11:43,427 --> 00:11:45,467
Speaker 5: chance you get to play for New Zealand is an

231
00:11:45,507 --> 00:11:50,427
Speaker 5: exciting opportunity. And obviously the Champions Trophy adds a little

232
00:11:50,427 --> 00:11:52,707
Speaker 5: bit more context to that, with this being the last

233
00:11:53,227 --> 00:11:57,387
Speaker 5: series before that before that Champions Trophy. So yeah, it's

234
00:11:57,427 --> 00:12:02,227
Speaker 5: always exciting to be playing international cricket and it's going

235
00:12:02,267 --> 00:12:04,067
Speaker 5: to be a great series against Sri Lanka and then

236
00:12:04,227 --> 00:12:06,627
Speaker 5: I guess yeah, those things will sort of take care

237
00:12:06,667 --> 00:12:08,907
Speaker 5: of themselves as we as we look forward to that

238
00:12:08,987 --> 00:12:11,027
Speaker 5: champions trophy after that, looking.

239
00:12:10,707 --> 00:12:12,907
Speaker 2: Forward to the first of three T twenties tonight Byoval,

240
00:12:12,907 --> 00:12:14,787
Speaker 2: Matt I'm going to be Michael, always appreciate your time.

241
00:12:14,787 --> 00:12:16,067
Speaker 2: Thanks for having a chat to us.

242
00:12:16,547 --> 00:12:17,707
Speaker 5: Cheers, funny, thanks for having me.

243
00:12:17,667 --> 00:12:19,627
Speaker 2: Now, thanks for joining us, Michael, Michael brace will there.

244
00:12:19,827 --> 00:12:23,187
Speaker 2: So the first of three T twenty internationals Bayoval tonight

245
00:12:23,307 --> 00:12:28,027
Speaker 2: seven fifteen, The next one Monday night, same location, same time,

246
00:12:28,107 --> 00:12:31,027
Speaker 2: and then the third is on Thursday. That's the second

247
00:12:31,067 --> 00:12:34,347
Speaker 2: of January, one to fifteen in the afternoon at Saxton Oval.

248
00:12:34,627 --> 00:12:37,187
Speaker 2: Then as you heard Michael mentioned there quickly into one

249
00:12:37,227 --> 00:12:40,427
Speaker 2: day international mode Sunday the fifth of January, so tomorrow

250
00:12:40,427 --> 00:12:43,467
Speaker 2: week at the Basement Reserve eleven am, then set In

251
00:12:43,547 --> 00:12:46,987
Speaker 2: Park in Hamilton, Wednesday the eighth at two pm and

252
00:12:47,187 --> 00:12:50,467
Speaker 2: finally Saturday, the eleventh of January two o'clock at Eden

253
00:12:50,587 --> 00:12:53,347
Speaker 2: Park in Auckland. Just before we move on from this

254
00:12:53,467 --> 00:12:57,627
Speaker 2: match tonight, the eleven's been confirmed. Mitchell Santa did some

255
00:12:57,667 --> 00:12:59,867
Speaker 2: media he's the captain of course, of the white ball sides. Now.

256
00:13:00,027 --> 00:13:02,507
Speaker 2: He did some media yesterday and confirmed that BJ Jacobs

257
00:13:02,507 --> 00:13:05,627
Speaker 2: and Nathan Smith would drop out of the playing eleven.

258
00:13:05,787 --> 00:13:07,747
Speaker 2: So I'm just trying to work out who's going to

259
00:13:07,747 --> 00:13:10,187
Speaker 2: open the batting with Tim Robinson. I presume it'll be

260
00:13:10,267 --> 00:13:14,267
Speaker 2: either rich In, Revendra or Mark Chapman. They feel like

261
00:13:14,347 --> 00:13:17,827
Speaker 2: the top three Robinson, Revendra Chapman, then Darryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips,

262
00:13:17,827 --> 00:13:20,667
Speaker 2: Michael Brace, while Mitchell Santner, Mitch Hay who's going to

263
00:13:20,707 --> 00:13:23,827
Speaker 2: keep wicket, Matt Henry, Jacob Duffy and Zach Folks. It's

264
00:13:23,827 --> 00:13:26,947
Speaker 2: an exciting looking side for the first T twenty International

265
00:13:27,427 --> 00:13:30,547
Speaker 2: against Sri Lanka tonight. Yes, I would have thought, in

266
00:13:30,587 --> 00:13:33,187
Speaker 2: the absence of BJ Jacobs, who I guess would have

267
00:13:33,307 --> 00:13:35,987
Speaker 2: perhaps been a candidate to open the batting. No Finnellen

268
00:13:36,027 --> 00:13:38,827
Speaker 2: there in this series that yeah, it might be rich

269
00:13:38,867 --> 00:13:41,667
Speaker 2: and Revendra and Tim Robinson who form an all Wellington

270
00:13:41,787 --> 00:13:44,507
Speaker 2: opening batting partnership. Tonight. I guess we'll have to wait

271
00:13:44,547 --> 00:13:46,747
Speaker 2: and see. Plenty of bowling options there for Mitchell Santner

272
00:13:47,267 --> 00:13:50,467
Speaker 2: as well. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is

273
00:13:50,467 --> 00:13:53,667
Speaker 2: our number. I just wanted to mention as well, while

274
00:13:53,707 --> 00:13:57,747
Speaker 2: we're talking cricket, the whole verat Cohley thing. I know

275
00:13:57,827 --> 00:14:01,147
Speaker 2: that there's been lots of chat around about this. The

276
00:14:01,187 --> 00:14:04,987
Speaker 2: Boxing day Test hasn't exactly been a happy couple of

277
00:14:05,067 --> 00:14:07,947
Speaker 2: days for verat Cohley. He's been fined twenty percent of

278
00:14:07,987 --> 00:14:11,707
Speaker 2: his match fee for deliberately bumping into young Australian batsman

279
00:14:11,827 --> 00:14:15,907
Speaker 2: Sam Constace on the first day of the Test on Thursday.

280
00:14:16,307 --> 00:14:19,627
Speaker 2: He made forceful contact with Constance after he came out

281
00:14:19,667 --> 00:14:22,867
Speaker 2: on debut and just smashed into to all parts of

282
00:14:22,867 --> 00:14:26,427
Speaker 2: the ground on his way to a sixty five ball sixty.

283
00:14:27,347 --> 00:14:30,787
Speaker 2: There was a heat at exchange. Constance was kind of,

284
00:14:31,747 --> 00:14:35,227
Speaker 2: you know, exchanging words with Coley. Then Usman Kowaja, his

285
00:14:35,307 --> 00:14:38,227
Speaker 2: fellow opener, came in. Umpire Michael Goff got involved. The

286
00:14:38,427 --> 00:14:42,267
Speaker 2: ICC said in a statement yesterday that Coley's been fined

287
00:14:42,307 --> 00:14:46,707
Speaker 2: twenty percent of his match fee awarded one demerit point

288
00:14:46,707 --> 00:14:50,307
Speaker 2: for breaching Level one of the ICC Code of Conduct,

289
00:14:50,347 --> 00:14:55,987
Speaker 2: which refers to inappropriate physical contact with a player, support personnel, umpire,

290
00:14:56,027 --> 00:14:58,947
Speaker 2: match referee or any other person including a spectator during

291
00:14:58,987 --> 00:15:02,147
Speaker 2: an international match. So it feels kind of light to me.

292
00:15:03,427 --> 00:15:06,627
Speaker 2: Twenty percent of match fee one demerit point. If you

293
00:15:06,627 --> 00:15:09,027
Speaker 2: get four demerit points, you have to miss a game,

294
00:15:09,187 --> 00:15:12,867
Speaker 2: so that doesn't take him over in the time frame.

295
00:15:13,427 --> 00:15:16,987
Speaker 2: I just thought that the most interesting part of this

296
00:15:17,707 --> 00:15:21,787
Speaker 2: was how a guy on debut, a nineteen year old kid,

297
00:15:22,987 --> 00:15:26,147
Speaker 2: was inside the head of one of the great cricketers

298
00:15:26,147 --> 00:15:29,707
Speaker 2: we've seen in the last couple of decades. Verat Coley

299
00:15:29,867 --> 00:15:36,667
Speaker 2: just he just const just got under his skin, and

300
00:15:36,827 --> 00:15:38,827
Speaker 2: Verat Coley just came off looking like a bit of

301
00:15:38,867 --> 00:15:42,107
Speaker 2: a sock to me. And it didn't really improve much

302
00:15:42,187 --> 00:15:45,067
Speaker 2: for him yesterday either, because when he went out to bat,

303
00:15:45,987 --> 00:15:48,667
Speaker 2: he was out there batting and putting together a really

304
00:15:49,187 --> 00:15:55,267
Speaker 2: handy partnership with Yashavzi Jaswell, the young up and coming opener,

305
00:15:55,507 --> 00:15:56,107
Speaker 2: and then he's.

306
00:15:56,027 --> 00:15:56,627
Speaker 9: Run him out.

307
00:15:57,467 --> 00:16:00,387
Speaker 2: Basically, jie as Well, push the ball down the ground,

308
00:16:00,387 --> 00:16:03,667
Speaker 2: it's his call. He comes for the run and Coley

309
00:16:03,787 --> 00:16:07,907
Speaker 2: just stands in his crease. So jays wells all the

310
00:16:07,907 --> 00:16:09,987
Speaker 2: way down, has to go all the way back, doesn't

311
00:16:09,987 --> 00:16:12,667
Speaker 2: get their entirements run out, and about an over later,

312
00:16:13,147 --> 00:16:17,307
Speaker 2: Coley himself knicks out and he's out too. So I

313
00:16:17,387 --> 00:16:20,227
Speaker 2: just thought it was a it was I mean, and

314
00:16:20,267 --> 00:16:24,427
Speaker 2: he's he's basically public enemy number one now in Australia

315
00:16:24,587 --> 00:16:30,707
Speaker 2: at the MCG with the crowds, they're giving him absolute well,

316
00:16:30,947 --> 00:16:34,027
Speaker 2: I think you can guess whenever he is anywhere near them.

317
00:16:34,187 --> 00:16:36,547
Speaker 2: Very at Coley. I began on your views on this

318
00:16:36,627 --> 00:16:39,507
Speaker 2: O eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Mike got any

319
00:16:39,547 --> 00:16:41,107
Speaker 2: view on ver at Coley's behavior?

320
00:16:42,347 --> 00:16:43,147
Speaker 10: Yeah, hi pliney.

321
00:16:43,587 --> 00:16:46,507
Speaker 11: Yeah. On my mum's side of the family, with all

322
00:16:46,547 --> 00:16:49,947
Speaker 11: our uncles and aunties and cousins, we always get relegated

323
00:16:49,987 --> 00:16:53,667
Speaker 11: to Boxing Day for Christmas get together and the good

324
00:16:53,667 --> 00:16:55,747
Speaker 11: thing is we always get around the TV for Boxing

325
00:16:55,827 --> 00:16:59,467
Speaker 11: Day cricket. So I was able to see that, and

326
00:17:00,507 --> 00:17:03,267
Speaker 11: you know, take my hat off to contest. I think

327
00:17:03,267 --> 00:17:07,107
Speaker 11: that's one of the greatest debut innings that you know,

328
00:17:07,347 --> 00:17:11,227
Speaker 11: we get a chance to see, especially considering he's only

329
00:17:11,307 --> 00:17:14,667
Speaker 11: nineteen years old. You know, he hasn't even had his

330
00:17:14,827 --> 00:17:19,347
Speaker 11: twenty first year. He's basically still did and it was very, very,

331
00:17:19,587 --> 00:17:24,587
Speaker 11: very impressive. The thing is, in my mind, I think

332
00:17:24,627 --> 00:17:28,747
Speaker 11: he run's reading it wrong in terms of what Coley did.

333
00:17:29,187 --> 00:17:32,667
Speaker 11: And I would actually be honored if I was conscious

334
00:17:32,747 --> 00:17:36,027
Speaker 11: and Coley did that to me. To me, it was

335
00:17:36,067 --> 00:17:38,827
Speaker 11: a sign of respect. And I think Coley sort of

336
00:17:38,867 --> 00:17:41,587
Speaker 11: risked a lot to make a point that he was

337
00:17:41,707 --> 00:17:47,947
Speaker 11: actually impressed, maybe threatened by Constaus And I mean, and

338
00:17:47,987 --> 00:17:49,347
Speaker 11: he wasn't going to go up and give a hugging

339
00:17:49,387 --> 00:17:53,587
Speaker 11: a kiss, and he did what, you know, whatever he

340
00:17:53,667 --> 00:17:56,907
Speaker 11: could do to bring attention to the fact that Conscious

341
00:17:57,587 --> 00:18:03,947
Speaker 11: has produced an exceptional innings. And you know, it's almost

342
00:18:04,107 --> 00:18:07,787
Speaker 11: like a couple of bull stags looking on together. Coley

343
00:18:07,827 --> 00:18:09,427
Speaker 11: is one of the best in the world and he

344
00:18:09,467 --> 00:18:12,587
Speaker 11: could see their potential in Constous and it wouldn't actually

345
00:18:12,627 --> 00:18:18,307
Speaker 11: surprise me. Does Coley play in the the IPL, Yeah.

346
00:18:18,147 --> 00:18:20,347
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, yeah, one of the last play.

347
00:18:21,827 --> 00:18:24,667
Speaker 11: It wouldn't surprise me if you see Constant in Coley's team.

348
00:18:24,667 --> 00:18:26,267
Speaker 11: I don't follow it, so I don't know what the

349
00:18:26,267 --> 00:18:29,187
Speaker 11: teams are, but i'd be watching the space, so you

350
00:18:29,547 --> 00:18:32,547
Speaker 11: might see that guy in Coley's team if my theory

351
00:18:32,587 --> 00:18:36,867
Speaker 11: is correct, because I think Coley was very impressed. And yeah,

352
00:18:36,907 --> 00:18:41,427
Speaker 11: it's just things aren't always as they seem. And yeah, yeah,

353
00:18:41,907 --> 00:18:44,947
Speaker 11: I saw it as a as a sign of respect myself.

354
00:18:45,427 --> 00:18:48,307
Speaker 2: Interesting take on it, Mike, Yeah, look, I hadn't even

355
00:18:48,587 --> 00:18:51,027
Speaker 2: thought of it in that way. I just wonder to myself,

356
00:18:51,067 --> 00:18:53,307
Speaker 2: why Coley, a guy who's played one hundred and twenty

357
00:18:53,307 --> 00:18:57,307
Speaker 2: odd test matches, you know, over nine thousand runs, would

358
00:18:57,587 --> 00:19:01,467
Speaker 2: do something like that to a kid on debut. If

359
00:19:01,547 --> 00:19:04,187
Speaker 2: indeed he wanted to show him respect in a funny

360
00:19:04,227 --> 00:19:06,947
Speaker 2: sort of way, couldn't he have chose in a different

361
00:19:06,987 --> 00:19:07,667
Speaker 2: way of doing that?

362
00:19:09,867 --> 00:19:11,907
Speaker 11: Well, what options do you have on the on the

363
00:19:11,907 --> 00:19:14,107
Speaker 11: field in front of the crowd like that? Like I said,

364
00:19:14,147 --> 00:19:15,387
Speaker 11: I mean, he's not going to go up and hugging

365
00:19:15,347 --> 00:19:17,427
Speaker 11: and kiss him? No, true, so who knows?

366
00:19:17,467 --> 00:19:17,867
Speaker 8: Who knows?

367
00:19:17,947 --> 00:19:19,627
Speaker 11: But oh well, it's just a theory.

368
00:19:19,667 --> 00:19:21,187
Speaker 6: But anyway I do.

369
00:19:21,347 --> 00:19:23,747
Speaker 2: Might make I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm going to write

370
00:19:23,747 --> 00:19:25,987
Speaker 2: down this date and time, and I'm going to watch

371
00:19:26,027 --> 00:19:29,507
Speaker 2: the IPL auction next year just to see where Sam

372
00:19:29,587 --> 00:19:32,467
Speaker 2: Constance ends up. You may well be onto something you made.

373
00:19:32,467 --> 00:19:34,507
Speaker 2: He may we land up with Verad Coley. That could be.

374
00:19:35,147 --> 00:19:37,907
Speaker 2: They could be teammates, having been adversaries here in Melbourne.

375
00:19:37,947 --> 00:19:39,867
Speaker 2: Good to chat to you, Thanks for calling in twelve

376
00:19:39,907 --> 00:19:42,947
Speaker 2: twenty seven. Got to get a breakaway, Morris Cold please

377
00:19:42,987 --> 00:19:44,867
Speaker 2: hold there with you right after this one spear line.

378
00:19:44,947 --> 00:19:46,547
Speaker 2: If you'd like to jump aboard, Oh, eight hundred and

379
00:19:46,587 --> 00:19:47,467
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty.

380
00:19:48,107 --> 00:19:51,587
Speaker 1: The biggest seams in sports are on Weekend Sports with

381
00:19:51,787 --> 00:19:56,267
Speaker 1: Jason Pain and GJ. Gunnos, New Zealand's most trusted home builder,

382
00:19:56,387 --> 00:19:57,227
Speaker 1: News Talks.

383
00:19:57,027 --> 00:20:00,347
Speaker 2: Nbdang on half past twelve on News talks 'b Morris,

384
00:20:00,387 --> 00:20:01,467
Speaker 2: what did you make of the whole thing?

385
00:20:02,507 --> 00:20:04,547
Speaker 12: On I bring to your last call? I think you

386
00:20:04,587 --> 00:20:07,947
Speaker 12: know finey, I look at this, it's pretty cheap the

387
00:20:08,027 --> 00:20:13,067
Speaker 12: Aussie media considering he had underarm bowling, sandpaper Gate and

388
00:20:13,187 --> 00:20:16,107
Speaker 12: all the racist sledging they've done to India. Boats in

389
00:20:16,147 --> 00:20:20,507
Speaker 12: the crowd and it slip from you know, Ricky Ponting

390
00:20:20,587 --> 00:20:23,747
Speaker 12: and all co you know, and you look at it

391
00:20:23,747 --> 00:20:26,547
Speaker 12: now they're playing the victim and I just think it's

392
00:20:26,707 --> 00:20:31,027
Speaker 12: it's a circus. And I think Coley young bull, old ball,

393
00:20:31,147 --> 00:20:34,187
Speaker 12: it's nothing more than that. And I'll tell you a

394
00:20:34,227 --> 00:20:36,667
Speaker 12: story that where Cole is that in a few quite

395
00:20:36,707 --> 00:20:39,547
Speaker 12: a few years ago he was in New Zealand. We

396
00:20:39,587 --> 00:20:41,787
Speaker 12: walked into a restaurant called the Blue Elephant and Parnel

397
00:20:41,867 --> 00:20:44,627
Speaker 12: Great Tie Restaurant and he was sitting down there with

398
00:20:44,667 --> 00:20:48,947
Speaker 12: his missus having a meal so I walked up and

399
00:20:49,067 --> 00:20:52,587
Speaker 12: we paid for his meal and then sat down and

400
00:20:52,627 --> 00:20:54,747
Speaker 12: carried on. He got out dinner and carried on. He

401
00:20:54,787 --> 00:20:58,427
Speaker 12: went up the Patsville and then he you know, come

402
00:20:58,507 --> 00:21:00,107
Speaker 12: up and take us when he could. He was already

403
00:21:00,107 --> 00:21:02,707
Speaker 12: paid for and the most nicest guy. He sat there

404
00:21:02,747 --> 00:21:05,427
Speaker 12: with us for you know, for a good ten to

405
00:21:05,427 --> 00:21:08,627
Speaker 12: fifteen minutes and had he aren't at everything but cricket.

406
00:21:09,307 --> 00:21:11,787
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's a nice bloke. Morris. I'm sorry as

407
00:21:11,787 --> 00:21:14,587
Speaker 2: i've seen him. I've seen him off the field and

408
00:21:14,947 --> 00:21:17,907
Speaker 2: you know, albeit not a situation like you've described, but

409
00:21:17,987 --> 00:21:21,027
Speaker 2: you know, I've seen him interviewed, I've seen him involved in,

410
00:21:21,427 --> 00:21:24,067
Speaker 2: you know, ver various charitable things. I just thought it

411
00:21:24,107 --> 00:21:26,347
Speaker 2: was and that's why it probably surprised me even more.

412
00:21:26,387 --> 00:21:28,467
Speaker 2: I just thought it was out a character and unnecessary.

413
00:21:29,747 --> 00:21:31,827
Speaker 12: I don't think it's out of character. I think he

414
00:21:32,027 --> 00:21:35,787
Speaker 12: is driven in. You've got to think when he first

415
00:21:35,827 --> 00:21:38,467
Speaker 12: started playing in Australia, the crowd were quite racist towards

416
00:21:38,507 --> 00:21:40,267
Speaker 12: him and called him a whole lot of nasty things.

417
00:21:40,427 --> 00:21:42,867
Speaker 12: There is no love between India and Australia. New Zealand

418
00:21:42,867 --> 00:21:45,147
Speaker 12: has a great relationship with India, Vera Cole he came

419
00:21:45,227 --> 00:21:47,267
Speaker 12: with him, is a good mate on and off the field.

420
00:21:47,467 --> 00:21:49,507
Speaker 12: He comes to Zealand, he doesn't get a rest. He

421
00:21:49,507 --> 00:21:51,427
Speaker 12: can go out for a rich he goes out to

422
00:21:51,467 --> 00:21:53,467
Speaker 12: restaurants here and has a meal. He don't no one

423
00:21:53,507 --> 00:21:55,227
Speaker 12: even goes up and ask for his autographs. They just

424
00:21:55,587 --> 00:21:58,747
Speaker 12: respect him and give him what he You know, in Australia,

425
00:21:59,267 --> 00:22:02,427
Speaker 12: he's a concert at him, the media that everyone's at him.

426
00:22:02,627 --> 00:22:04,347
Speaker 12: I don't think he likes being there. You know. It's

427
00:22:04,347 --> 00:22:06,307
Speaker 12: that old ball, young bull. And then you had a

428
00:22:06,907 --> 00:22:09,907
Speaker 12: ninety year old still in nappies playing the way he played,

429
00:22:09,947 --> 00:22:13,347
Speaker 12: which was very superb, full of full of beans, full

430
00:22:13,387 --> 00:22:16,547
Speaker 12: of confidence and had no respect to anyone. You know,

431
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,987
Speaker 12: That's how they'll be looking at it. So no respect

432
00:22:18,987 --> 00:22:20,347
Speaker 12: to the ball, you don't trying to ramp them in

433
00:22:20,387 --> 00:22:22,667
Speaker 12: all the rest of it. And I just think Coley

434
00:22:22,667 --> 00:22:24,827
Speaker 12: Stria said a bit of you know, like, hey.

435
00:22:25,027 --> 00:22:26,227
Speaker 6: Well what are we going to do?

436
00:22:26,347 --> 00:22:28,147
Speaker 12: Because I think India at that point in time they

437
00:22:28,147 --> 00:22:30,387
Speaker 12: were stuck doing a rock in a hard place and

438
00:22:30,467 --> 00:22:33,307
Speaker 12: you know, in what do we do? And it's just

439
00:22:33,387 --> 00:22:36,267
Speaker 12: that I think it's a combination of gamesmanship. It's that

440
00:22:36,427 --> 00:22:39,027
Speaker 12: you know, and you have to look over the years

441
00:22:39,147 --> 00:22:41,067
Speaker 12: New Zealand has done it. We all do it. We're

442
00:22:41,107 --> 00:22:42,427
Speaker 12: trying to intimidate.

443
00:22:41,987 --> 00:22:42,947
Speaker 6: In some way or form.

444
00:22:42,987 --> 00:22:44,827
Speaker 12: And I suppose that's the best thing you could come

445
00:22:44,907 --> 00:22:45,147
Speaker 12: up with.

446
00:22:45,747 --> 00:22:47,347
Speaker 6: Ye, I suppose.

447
00:22:47,587 --> 00:22:50,307
Speaker 2: I suppose you're right, Morris, I suppose you're right. Or

448
00:22:50,307 --> 00:22:54,627
Speaker 2: a handshake perhaps, Yeah, Look, I don't know. I would say,

449
00:22:54,667 --> 00:22:56,627
Speaker 2: look at the that situation, and it hasn't really worked.

450
00:22:56,667 --> 00:22:59,427
Speaker 2: I think Constance, you know, I don't think he was

451
00:22:59,467 --> 00:23:02,147
Speaker 2: shook by it. Much. Doesn't seem like too much phases him.

452
00:23:02,387 --> 00:23:05,307
Speaker 2: I saw an interview after the Day yesterday with Nathan Lyon,

453
00:23:05,387 --> 00:23:08,667
Speaker 2: and Nathan Lyon said that apparently Sam Constance has said

454
00:23:08,947 --> 00:23:10,467
Speaker 2: to his teammates, old, when do you think the nerves

455
00:23:10,507 --> 00:23:13,147
Speaker 2: will kick in? Because this just feels like playing great cricket.

456
00:23:13,147 --> 00:23:16,787
Speaker 2: To me, it's clearly a pretty well adjusted nineteen year old.

457
00:23:16,787 --> 00:23:21,027
Speaker 2: Good to get. Tom Morris thinks, indeed, Cole Hi mate good.

458
00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:24,347
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think it's actually bloody good for the game.

459
00:23:24,387 --> 00:23:26,187
Speaker 13: I'm going to take a different stance in it.

460
00:23:28,747 --> 00:23:31,267
Speaker 2: No good okay, so you you you're all for it,

461
00:23:31,307 --> 00:23:33,467
Speaker 2: A bit a bit of argie bargie, you don't mind

462
00:23:33,467 --> 00:23:35,227
Speaker 2: it absolutely.

463
00:23:35,307 --> 00:23:37,907
Speaker 13: I played my fair share of professional cricket and this

464
00:23:38,027 --> 00:23:40,907
Speaker 13: kind of stuff gets bums on seats. I think it's

465
00:23:40,907 --> 00:23:43,787
Speaker 13: bloody good for the test match, Test mash cricket, and

466
00:23:43,827 --> 00:23:46,507
Speaker 13: I think, yeah, I absolutely love it. I think it's

467
00:23:46,587 --> 00:23:47,387
Speaker 13: very good for the game.

468
00:23:48,627 --> 00:23:51,627
Speaker 2: So you're okay with guys sort of barging shoulders into

469
00:23:51,627 --> 00:23:53,427
Speaker 2: one another, but a push and shove, you think that

470
00:23:53,467 --> 00:23:57,667
Speaker 2: should be something that the ICC actually promotes rather than punishes.

471
00:23:58,867 --> 00:24:01,427
Speaker 13: I wouldn't say it was a massive barge.

472
00:24:01,467 --> 00:24:02,547
Speaker 6: It was more of a touch.

473
00:24:02,867 --> 00:24:04,787
Speaker 13: I think there's a line and he didn't overstep it.

474
00:24:05,387 --> 00:24:07,947
Speaker 13: I think I mean, did you get a warning for

475
00:24:07,987 --> 00:24:11,307
Speaker 13: something like that? Not a twenty percent match feed deduction?

476
00:24:11,387 --> 00:24:14,827
Speaker 2: In my opinion, Did it happen to you at all

477
00:24:14,907 --> 00:24:18,787
Speaker 2: when you were playing or has it happened several times?

478
00:24:18,867 --> 00:24:21,547
Speaker 13: Yeah, And I guess it's on a slightly biggest stage

479
00:24:21,587 --> 00:24:25,027
Speaker 13: international cricket and domestic cricket. You get a warning or

480
00:24:25,067 --> 00:24:27,267
Speaker 13: a couple of warnings and then you get fine. But

481
00:24:27,947 --> 00:24:31,267
Speaker 13: I think on the international stages highlighted a little.

482
00:24:30,987 --> 00:24:31,587
Speaker 14: Bit more.

483
00:24:33,187 --> 00:24:36,227
Speaker 2: So. So were you the bargeur or the bar gee

484
00:24:36,347 --> 00:24:37,107
Speaker 2: or both.

485
00:24:38,387 --> 00:24:39,947
Speaker 13: A little bit of both at different times?

486
00:24:39,987 --> 00:24:40,627
Speaker 6: I'd say.

487
00:24:42,147 --> 00:24:44,107
Speaker 2: And so it was so when you were doing it

488
00:24:44,147 --> 00:24:46,387
Speaker 2: to say say, you said, right, I'm gonna I'm going

489
00:24:46,427 --> 00:24:48,827
Speaker 2: to sort of walk down past that guy. I dropped

490
00:24:48,827 --> 00:24:50,787
Speaker 2: my shoulder and you know, a little touch on the

491
00:24:50,787 --> 00:24:52,587
Speaker 2: shoulder just to let him know I'm here. So that

492
00:24:52,627 --> 00:24:54,667
Speaker 2: was a premeditated thing that you did.

493
00:24:56,187 --> 00:24:59,747
Speaker 13: It would more just be if I'm walking a particular

494
00:24:59,787 --> 00:25:01,907
Speaker 13: line and he's walking the same line. It's more of

495
00:25:02,027 --> 00:25:04,827
Speaker 13: just you're in the battles are out there, bulls coming

496
00:25:04,827 --> 00:25:08,187
Speaker 13: at you quite quick. It's nothing, nothing too serious, you know,

497
00:25:08,307 --> 00:25:09,987
Speaker 13: as long as I'm not dropping in the shoulder and

498
00:25:10,267 --> 00:25:12,867
Speaker 13: injuring someone, I think a slight touch just to show

499
00:25:12,907 --> 00:25:13,787
Speaker 13: them that you're in the fight.

500
00:25:15,307 --> 00:25:17,747
Speaker 2: I guess what it also does gets us talking about

501
00:25:17,787 --> 00:25:19,387
Speaker 2: the game, doesn't it not that I think the boxing

502
00:25:19,467 --> 00:25:22,387
Speaker 2: day test, which one in Australia and India, needs to

503
00:25:22,427 --> 00:25:24,147
Speaker 2: be talked about. It's you know, sold out on the

504
00:25:24,147 --> 00:25:26,827
Speaker 2: first day. But Test cricket isn't a battle for relevance,

505
00:25:26,867 --> 00:25:28,867
Speaker 2: isn't it. So yeah, I hadn't. I mean, it's been

506
00:25:28,907 --> 00:25:32,787
Speaker 2: all over the place. It's it's still getting replayed now, isn't.

507
00:25:32,587 --> 00:25:36,267
Speaker 13: It exactly right? It brings a tension. I mean, you

508
00:25:36,307 --> 00:25:39,107
Speaker 13: don't overstep a line obviously, but for something like that

509
00:25:39,107 --> 00:25:41,867
Speaker 13: that happens every day, you know, and every and everyday life.

510
00:25:41,907 --> 00:25:45,267
Speaker 13: I think that kind of stuff absolutely fine, as long

511
00:25:45,307 --> 00:25:47,387
Speaker 13: as he's not intention he's trying to hurt the guy.

512
00:25:47,867 --> 00:25:49,147
Speaker 13: I think that kind of stuffs fine.

513
00:25:50,427 --> 00:25:54,387
Speaker 2: Interesting, interesting viewpoint. Cole, thanks for calling in, matell Are

514
00:25:54,387 --> 00:25:54,947
Speaker 2: you still playing?

515
00:25:56,107 --> 00:25:58,107
Speaker 13: No, I'm taking some time off now.

516
00:25:58,867 --> 00:26:00,467
Speaker 2: All right, mate, Well, thanks for calling in, mate. I

517
00:26:00,467 --> 00:26:03,907
Speaker 2: appreciate you You're insight and your viewpoint very much. I

518
00:26:04,027 --> 00:26:05,947
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is our number. It's

519
00:26:05,987 --> 00:26:08,787
Speaker 2: twenty four away from one. I want to bring Evan,

520
00:26:08,787 --> 00:26:10,187
Speaker 2: and now, Evan, I know you want to talk about

521
00:26:10,227 --> 00:26:15,227
Speaker 2: Matthew Sinclair. We should also introduce you as former international

522
00:26:15,347 --> 00:26:18,787
Speaker 2: umpire Evan Watkin. Can I ask you about the Coley incident?

523
00:26:18,827 --> 00:26:20,667
Speaker 2: First of all, what did you make of it?

524
00:26:20,667 --> 00:26:20,787
Speaker 15: It?

525
00:26:21,467 --> 00:26:24,067
Speaker 16: Yeah, I totally agree. I disagree to either with what

526
00:26:24,147 --> 00:26:26,347
Speaker 16: Cole has just said. There was absolutely no place in

527
00:26:26,387 --> 00:26:31,507
Speaker 16: cricket for any physical contact. There are some occasional accidental collisions,

528
00:26:31,547 --> 00:26:34,707
Speaker 16: but there's no place whatever. And Coley was totally out

529
00:26:34,707 --> 00:26:39,347
Speaker 16: of order. He clearly made a bline for constance and

530
00:26:40,667 --> 00:26:43,427
Speaker 16: was something wanting to get up his nose because the

531
00:26:43,427 --> 00:26:46,667
Speaker 16: young fellow had had got under his skin very quickly.

532
00:26:47,627 --> 00:26:49,867
Speaker 2: Do you think then that, yeah, do you think of

533
00:26:49,947 --> 00:26:53,467
Speaker 2: twenty percent fine then is a bit low?

534
00:26:53,707 --> 00:26:53,827
Speaker 17: No?

535
00:26:53,947 --> 00:26:56,307
Speaker 16: Absolutely too far, too low. Should be one hundred percent

536
00:26:56,307 --> 00:26:59,787
Speaker 16: match fee straight away. But this is what met referees

537
00:26:59,787 --> 00:27:03,747
Speaker 16: are like, too friendly with the players, I think, and

538
00:27:04,227 --> 00:27:06,427
Speaker 16: I mean, okay, the amount of money doesn't matter that

539
00:27:06,507 --> 00:27:09,027
Speaker 16: to Colie, as people have said that, you can afford

540
00:27:09,027 --> 00:27:11,427
Speaker 16: to pay any sort of fine. But I'm doing it

541
00:27:11,467 --> 00:27:14,187
Speaker 16: to year ten tournament next week. I'd hate to see

542
00:27:14,227 --> 00:27:16,987
Speaker 16: any kids now changing direction or walking up to the

543
00:27:17,027 --> 00:27:18,827
Speaker 16: other kid and trying to do a bit of a

544
00:27:18,867 --> 00:27:21,787
Speaker 16: shoulder charge just to try and intimidate him. There absolutely

545
00:27:21,867 --> 00:27:23,467
Speaker 16: no place for it in cricket at all.

546
00:27:25,067 --> 00:27:27,147
Speaker 2: All right, Well that's that's fairly, you know. Well there's

547
00:27:27,267 --> 00:27:28,787
Speaker 2: not a lot of gray area there is it an

548
00:27:28,827 --> 00:27:31,427
Speaker 2: expect there would be. Now you want to talk about

549
00:27:31,427 --> 00:27:34,827
Speaker 2: Matthew Sinclair, who I'm talking to. After one, you were

550
00:27:34,827 --> 00:27:36,587
Speaker 2: one of the umpires in that Test match twenty five

551
00:27:36,667 --> 00:27:37,787
Speaker 2: years ago, boxing guy at the base.

552
00:27:38,187 --> 00:27:42,707
Speaker 16: Just before that, I umpired Coley once in a youth test.

553
00:27:42,827 --> 00:27:46,707
Speaker 16: In Cara's book, and I've just brought the scoreboard up

554
00:27:46,707 --> 00:27:48,627
Speaker 16: because I remember he was given out l we W

555
00:27:48,747 --> 00:27:50,387
Speaker 16: one innings and I have no idea whether I gave

556
00:27:50,427 --> 00:27:52,787
Speaker 16: him out or whether they've questioned gave him out. He's

557
00:27:52,787 --> 00:27:56,427
Speaker 16: alb for duck to Tim Sowby, who had also got

558
00:27:56,507 --> 00:27:58,627
Speaker 16: him out in the first innings, caught by jet rival

559
00:27:58,707 --> 00:28:02,107
Speaker 16: for twelve. But I have no memory of Coley in

560
00:28:02,147 --> 00:28:04,747
Speaker 16: that match. I remember a few others, including a chance

561
00:28:04,827 --> 00:28:07,907
Speaker 16: Charmu who was a big tall, a wrong head lad.

562
00:28:07,947 --> 00:28:11,027
Speaker 16: Then it was bold quite quick. US only had Bolt

563
00:28:11,067 --> 00:28:16,627
Speaker 16: Sowdi Williamson ravel worker the border with Joe for Cory Anders.

564
00:28:16,627 --> 00:28:18,907
Speaker 16: It was a fantastic side and I remember a lot

565
00:28:18,947 --> 00:28:21,947
Speaker 16: about the game, but I don't remember anything about Colie playing,

566
00:28:22,907 --> 00:28:24,667
Speaker 16: other than the fact that Dar knew he was there.

567
00:28:25,147 --> 00:28:26,787
Speaker 16: Well the name of that stage.

568
00:28:27,027 --> 00:28:29,387
Speaker 2: I must say, though, if either Year or Dave Questad

569
00:28:29,387 --> 00:28:32,107
Speaker 2: gave him out LBW, I'm pretty sure it was out.

570
00:28:33,387 --> 00:28:33,787
Speaker 10: He didn't.

571
00:28:33,827 --> 00:28:37,507
Speaker 16: He didn't do anything to under coding, so certainly he

572
00:28:37,587 --> 00:28:40,827
Speaker 16: must have just walked off the field. Yes, I was

573
00:28:40,827 --> 00:28:46,347
Speaker 16: there for Matthew's debut in Debas in ninety nine. I

574
00:28:46,347 --> 00:28:49,787
Speaker 16: remember a lot about that match as well, even though

575
00:28:49,827 --> 00:28:51,667
Speaker 16: it was a while ago. I mean, test matches don't

576
00:28:51,667 --> 00:28:53,467
Speaker 16: come along every day and it was only my second test,

577
00:28:53,547 --> 00:28:55,747
Speaker 16: so I still recall quite a bit about the game.

578
00:28:57,307 --> 00:29:00,427
Speaker 2: What about Matthew's batting, anything stand out in particular? I

579
00:29:00,427 --> 00:29:03,107
Speaker 2: mean a double ton on debut is fairly memorable, but

580
00:29:03,147 --> 00:29:05,707
Speaker 2: anything anything that stands about the way he battered.

581
00:29:05,507 --> 00:29:08,787
Speaker 16: And that test well, once he gets in and that

582
00:29:08,987 --> 00:29:14,027
Speaker 16: was always his killisio. I guess was because he had

583
00:29:14,027 --> 00:29:17,227
Speaker 16: a great hand eye coordination. He didn't necessarily do things

584
00:29:17,267 --> 00:29:19,307
Speaker 16: exhibited by the book early on, and so a ball

585
00:29:19,347 --> 00:29:22,027
Speaker 16: could move and get him out. But once he was

586
00:29:22,067 --> 00:29:26,867
Speaker 16: in and he just dominated attacks. And including this this

587
00:29:26,907 --> 00:29:30,707
Speaker 16: West Indian attack probably wasn't the greatest West Indian attack.

588
00:29:30,787 --> 00:29:32,747
Speaker 16: I mean Courtney Walsh just about at the end of

589
00:29:32,787 --> 00:29:36,787
Speaker 16: his career. Ryon King was a very handy, quick, quick bowler,

590
00:29:36,827 --> 00:29:40,227
Speaker 16: and so was Franklin Rose.

591
00:29:40,867 --> 00:29:41,267
Speaker 6: That was there.

592
00:29:41,347 --> 00:29:45,107
Speaker 16: That was their bowl and their pace attack. But once

593
00:29:45,107 --> 00:29:48,387
Speaker 16: he got in, yeah, he just dominates attacks. And he's

594
00:29:48,427 --> 00:29:50,947
Speaker 16: got such a great hand to eye and hit the

595
00:29:50,987 --> 00:29:52,587
Speaker 16: ball so well, very clean to.

596
00:29:54,427 --> 00:29:58,227
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, he he it was. I mean, I'll chat

597
00:29:58,227 --> 00:29:59,707
Speaker 2: to about this, but I you know, he when he

598
00:29:59,707 --> 00:30:01,307
Speaker 2: got hundreds. He got big hundreds. So he got a

599
00:30:01,307 --> 00:30:02,867
Speaker 2: couple of he got two duple undrest and he that

600
00:30:02,907 --> 00:30:05,147
Speaker 2: one and another one against Pakistan I think one hundred

601
00:30:05,147 --> 00:30:07,627
Speaker 2: and fifty in South Africa in South Africa, which not

602
00:30:07,707 --> 00:30:09,067
Speaker 2: everybody does.

603
00:30:09,307 --> 00:30:11,627
Speaker 16: Yes, yeah he got once. As I say, once he

604
00:30:11,707 --> 00:30:15,347
Speaker 16: got in he could get big runs. I do remember

605
00:30:15,707 --> 00:30:18,307
Speaker 16: an LB shot when he was in his thirties, and

606
00:30:18,667 --> 00:30:20,827
Speaker 16: I never saw a replay, so it'd been interesting to

607
00:30:20,867 --> 00:30:25,667
Speaker 16: know whether whether that would have been overturned if it's

608
00:30:25,707 --> 00:30:28,067
Speaker 16: been drs in those days. But yeah, I didn't see

609
00:30:28,067 --> 00:30:30,107
Speaker 16: a replayer of that, but yeah, that would be interesting.

610
00:30:30,547 --> 00:30:33,107
Speaker 2: Indeed, just before you go, we should mention also that

611
00:30:33,147 --> 00:30:37,347
Speaker 2: you've gone from high quality, elite level umpire to now

612
00:30:37,867 --> 00:30:41,067
Speaker 2: New Zealand representative in the over seventies cricket team Evans,

613
00:30:41,067 --> 00:30:43,987
Speaker 2: so you've become a player. Most people go the other way,

614
00:30:44,067 --> 00:30:46,627
Speaker 2: They play first and then umpire. You've gone the other way,

615
00:30:46,827 --> 00:30:47,347
Speaker 2: the other way.

616
00:30:47,507 --> 00:30:49,227
Speaker 16: I think I'm probably the only person in the world

617
00:30:49,267 --> 00:30:51,787
Speaker 16: who's umpired their own country in international cricket and they've

618
00:30:51,787 --> 00:30:55,067
Speaker 16: gone and played for international games for them after. Yes,

619
00:30:55,467 --> 00:30:58,867
Speaker 16: and obviously over seventies as well after. But it was

620
00:30:58,907 --> 00:31:01,987
Speaker 16: a fantastic experience and we had a lot of fun

621
00:31:02,027 --> 00:31:04,707
Speaker 16: over in England, managed to get a couple of wins

622
00:31:04,747 --> 00:31:08,227
Speaker 16: over Indian and Sri Lanka at a couple of to

623
00:31:08,267 --> 00:31:11,147
Speaker 16: the great depth of Australia and England over seventies quick

624
00:31:11,187 --> 00:31:14,347
Speaker 16: it is just incredible. We had a tie against Canada

625
00:31:14,387 --> 00:31:16,867
Speaker 16: which were disappointing, and then we had a wash out

626
00:31:16,867 --> 00:31:19,747
Speaker 16: against Wales with no reserve day, which is also quite

627
00:31:19,747 --> 00:31:21,827
Speaker 16: disappointing in a tournament like that. You go all that

628
00:31:21,907 --> 00:31:24,267
Speaker 16: way and we're the only only game you got washed

629
00:31:24,307 --> 00:31:25,907
Speaker 16: out because we were on the wrong side of London.

630
00:31:25,947 --> 00:31:27,587
Speaker 16: We're on the east side of London that day and

631
00:31:27,627 --> 00:31:29,347
Speaker 16: the games on the two games on the west side

632
00:31:29,347 --> 00:31:30,347
Speaker 16: got played and we didn't.

633
00:31:31,307 --> 00:31:33,307

656
00:32:43,267 --> 00:32:43,867
Speaker 6: In terms of.

657
00:32:45,347 --> 00:32:49,307
Speaker 18: The setup for the site, we have a smaller operation

658
00:32:49,827 --> 00:32:52,827
Speaker 18: over the weekend for the qualifying and then we use

659
00:32:52,867 --> 00:32:55,347
Speaker 18: the full site by Monday morning.

660
00:32:55,907 --> 00:32:58,747
Speaker 2: How happy are you with the women's field? First of

661
00:32:58,787 --> 00:32:59,787
Speaker 2: all that you've assembled.

662
00:33:01,587 --> 00:33:02,387
Speaker 6: Yeah, very happy.

663
00:33:02,387 --> 00:33:05,867
Speaker 18: I think it's a really good combination of established talent,

664
00:33:06,427 --> 00:33:10,347
Speaker 18: local talent, and you know, up and coming players. You know,

665
00:33:10,387 --> 00:33:13,027
Speaker 18: it's great to be able to welcome Lulu back to

666
00:33:13,067 --> 00:33:16,587
Speaker 18: New Zealand after after what she's done last year. She's

667
00:33:16,627 --> 00:33:19,747
Speaker 18: the number four seeds, which hasn't happened in the in

668
00:33:19,787 --> 00:33:23,347
Speaker 18: the tournament history for many many years. And also, you know,

669
00:33:23,387 --> 00:33:27,987
Speaker 18: we have the likes of Naomi Zakia Madison Keys, Emma

670
00:33:28,107 --> 00:33:32,547
Speaker 18: Raduku are like, you know, proper marquee names in the

671
00:33:32,587 --> 00:33:34,187
Speaker 18: world of women's tennis.

672
00:33:34,507 --> 00:33:37,107
Speaker 2: When you're putting the fields together and doing your planning,

673
00:33:37,147 --> 00:33:40,867
Speaker 2: how do you strike the balance between proven performers and

674
00:33:41,027 --> 00:33:41,907
Speaker 2: rising stars.

675
00:33:43,347 --> 00:33:47,107
Speaker 18: It's pretty much like a fifty to fifty split that

676
00:33:47,147 --> 00:33:52,667
Speaker 18: I try to assemble. We do need some some market

677
00:33:52,707 --> 00:33:55,507
Speaker 18: players because these are the ones that the fans want

678
00:33:55,547 --> 00:33:58,547
Speaker 18: to see and and that's the reason why we we

679
00:33:58,707 --> 00:34:01,347
Speaker 18: we're selling all of these tickets. But at the same time,

680
00:34:01,387 --> 00:34:04,947
Speaker 18: we need to anticipate the future and we want to

681
00:34:04,987 --> 00:34:08,907
Speaker 18: start building relationships with up and coming players and make

682
00:34:08,947 --> 00:34:11,507
Speaker 18: sure they'll be able to come in in the use

683
00:34:11,587 --> 00:34:13,307
Speaker 18: to come as their ranking go up.

684
00:34:13,667 --> 00:34:15,507
Speaker 2: That's a very crowded time of the year of course

685
00:34:15,547 --> 00:34:18,347
Speaker 2: for tennis players. Everyone preparing for the Australian Open, a

686
00:34:18,387 --> 00:34:22,667
Speaker 2: lot of competition Brisbane, Perth, Sydney. How do you attract

687
00:34:23,027 --> 00:34:25,587
Speaker 2: top players to your tournament in Auckland.

688
00:34:27,187 --> 00:34:30,907
Speaker 18: There's two main factors, you know. The first one is

689
00:34:31,427 --> 00:34:34,827
Speaker 18: everything we have to offer in Oakland. Uh, you know,

690
00:34:34,867 --> 00:34:37,827
Speaker 18: we were trying to look after the players as best

691
00:34:37,867 --> 00:34:41,947
Speaker 18: as we can. You know, it's really personalized service to

692
00:34:41,947 --> 00:34:45,587
Speaker 18: to to all of them. And the second one is

693
00:34:45,867 --> 00:34:48,907
Speaker 18: you know, the financial aspect. You know, it does cost

694
00:34:48,987 --> 00:34:53,147
Speaker 18: to bring the market players, but it's an investment that

695
00:34:53,467 --> 00:34:56,427
Speaker 18: we need to make if we want to remain relevant

696
00:34:56,427 --> 00:34:57,667
Speaker 18: on the tennis calendar.

697
00:34:58,347 --> 00:35:01,027
Speaker 2: And something which is I guess different to what they

698
00:35:01,267 --> 00:35:05,027
Speaker 2: experience elsewhere is the close proximity of of of the

699
00:35:05,067 --> 00:35:07,427
Speaker 2: corporates in particular. Do you find that most of the

700
00:35:07,467 --> 00:35:09,147
Speaker 2: players are okay with that?

701
00:35:10,747 --> 00:35:14,307
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think it's a unique offering of the tournament.

702
00:35:14,347 --> 00:35:17,627
Speaker 18: The fact that we have people, you know, dining and

703
00:35:18,947 --> 00:35:25,747
Speaker 18: drinking courtside is something that you only see in Auckland.

704
00:35:26,867 --> 00:35:29,347
Speaker 18: We were a little bit concerned in the first place

705
00:35:29,707 --> 00:35:32,267
Speaker 18: about this and we're not really sure about what the

706
00:35:32,307 --> 00:35:35,627
Speaker 18: reaction of players might be, but they actually love it,

707
00:35:35,747 --> 00:35:39,267
Speaker 18: you know, they think it really creates a special atmosphere

708
00:35:39,267 --> 00:35:43,307
Speaker 18: around the court and everyone's you know, very well behaved.

709
00:35:43,347 --> 00:35:45,627
Speaker 18: So we've never had any issue on that front.

710
00:35:46,147 --> 00:35:49,787
Speaker 2: You mentioned lu Luson before. You know, she was only

711
00:35:49,787 --> 00:35:52,627
Speaker 2: a qualifier last year. But what a year she's head

712
00:35:52,667 --> 00:35:54,987
Speaker 2: on twenty twenty four. How big a draw card do

713
00:35:55,027 --> 00:35:58,027
Speaker 2: you perceive her to be now that she has risen

714
00:35:58,067 --> 00:36:00,507
Speaker 2: to the heights that she has.

715
00:36:00,787 --> 00:36:04,067
Speaker 18: And she's clearly someone who could win the tournament this year.

716
00:36:04,147 --> 00:36:06,947
Speaker 18: She's in that position. You know, she's a four seed.

717
00:36:07,907 --> 00:36:11,387
Speaker 18: Everyone remembers about a quarter final at Wimbledon, but she

718
00:36:11,787 --> 00:36:13,787
Speaker 18: you know, she's she's done modernly. You know, she was

719
00:36:13,787 --> 00:36:16,347
Speaker 18: also in the final in Monterey, which is with a

720
00:36:16,507 --> 00:36:20,867
Speaker 18: five hundred event. You know, I would hope that she

721
00:36:20,987 --> 00:36:23,867
Speaker 18: will be in a position to win a first title

722
00:36:24,067 --> 00:36:27,267
Speaker 18: at some point this season. And h and why not

723
00:36:27,587 --> 00:36:28,987
Speaker 18: in in Auckland next week?

724
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:33,067
Speaker 2: Absolutely? And I say you have automated line calls for

725
00:36:33,107 --> 00:36:35,427
Speaker 2: the first time that she and Nicholas can you tell

726
00:36:35,467 --> 00:36:36,987
Speaker 2: us about that technology?

727
00:36:37,547 --> 00:36:37,827
Speaker 6: Yes?

728
00:36:37,947 --> 00:36:41,067
Speaker 18: So this this is a new requirement on the eighth

729
00:36:41,107 --> 00:36:44,707
Speaker 18: B side. And because we run back to back tournament,

730
00:36:44,787 --> 00:36:47,667
Speaker 18: we decided to use that technology for for both weeks,

731
00:36:48,627 --> 00:36:53,907
Speaker 18: so basically no more line judges, but instead we've got

732
00:36:54,467 --> 00:36:59,387
Speaker 18: twelve cameras around the court that we used to call

733
00:36:59,587 --> 00:37:01,147
Speaker 18: to call all the lines.

734
00:37:02,227 --> 00:37:03,027
Speaker 10: So it's a it's a.

735
00:37:02,947 --> 00:37:06,587
Speaker 18: Lot of technology. We have to have it on all

736
00:37:06,587 --> 00:37:10,187
Speaker 18: the match courts, so it's three courts times twelve cameras.

737
00:37:10,627 --> 00:37:14,547
Speaker 18: There's a lot of technology involved. But that's just the

738
00:37:14,547 --> 00:37:16,947
Speaker 18: way that the game is going these days.

739
00:37:17,107 --> 00:37:20,027
Speaker 2: That sounds like a big investment too, is it money wise?

740
00:37:20,867 --> 00:37:23,867
Speaker 18: Yeah, it's a big investment. I mean it's it's it's

741
00:37:23,867 --> 00:37:26,147
Speaker 18: in the region of one hundred and fifty thousand US

742
00:37:26,187 --> 00:37:28,827
Speaker 18: dollars just for that technology for the for the two weeks,

743
00:37:28,867 --> 00:37:30,107
Speaker 18: so it's significant.

744
00:37:31,027 --> 00:37:33,627
Speaker 6: But it's a it's a new requirement from the tours.

745
00:37:33,667 --> 00:37:37,267
Speaker 2: So just the chair umpire and helped by the cameras,

746
00:37:37,267 --> 00:37:38,267
Speaker 2: that's how it works now.

747
00:37:38,947 --> 00:37:39,867
Speaker 18: Yes, exactly.

748
00:37:39,987 --> 00:37:40,147
Speaker 17: Wow.

749
00:37:40,227 --> 00:37:42,747
Speaker 18: And then we have a we have a crew on

750
00:37:42,827 --> 00:37:47,907
Speaker 18: standby of line judges just in case the technology failed,

751
00:37:48,147 --> 00:37:49,787
Speaker 18: just to make sure, you know, we can continue the

752
00:37:49,827 --> 00:37:52,587
Speaker 18: matches if there's any glitch with the system.

753
00:37:52,907 --> 00:37:55,027
Speaker 2: As the tournament plays out across the weak ahead and

754
00:37:55,107 --> 00:37:58,427
Speaker 2: then into the means tournament what do you find yourself

755
00:37:58,547 --> 00:38:00,987
Speaker 2: doing mainly what takes up most of your time.

756
00:38:02,747 --> 00:38:04,587
Speaker 18: At this at this stage, you know what, once the

757
00:38:04,627 --> 00:38:07,067
Speaker 18: tournament starts, it's it's a lot of time, you know,

758
00:38:07,147 --> 00:38:10,787
Speaker 18: being spent with the players, you know, just to make

759
00:38:10,787 --> 00:38:14,387
Speaker 18: sure we catch for all the needs, you know, listening

760
00:38:14,427 --> 00:38:17,907
Speaker 18: to their requests in terms of you know, match scheduling

761
00:38:18,347 --> 00:38:22,827
Speaker 18: or you know practice, and also a lot of time

762
00:38:22,907 --> 00:38:25,827
Speaker 18: spent with all of our sponsors, you know, trying to

763
00:38:25,867 --> 00:38:28,907
Speaker 18: make sure they get the best return on the investment.

764
00:38:29,307 --> 00:38:31,227
Speaker 2: Do you actually get to watch any tennis?

765
00:38:32,627 --> 00:38:32,987
Speaker 6: I do.

766
00:38:33,747 --> 00:38:35,867
Speaker 18: I do watch some tennis, a lot of most of

767
00:38:35,867 --> 00:38:39,187
Speaker 18: it is on the screen, not not some a fly,

768
00:38:39,427 --> 00:38:42,867
Speaker 18: but I trying to get some a few games here

769
00:38:42,907 --> 00:38:43,787
Speaker 18: and then if I can.

770
00:38:44,067 --> 00:38:46,187
Speaker 2: And you keep an eye on the weather forecast, no

771
00:38:46,267 --> 00:38:48,027
Speaker 2: doubts looking okay, I think for the week I hit.

798
00:40:08,627 --> 00:40:10,747
Speaker 2: to do even to avoid the follow on. They are

799
00:40:10,747 --> 00:40:14,387
Speaker 2: still ninety nine one hundred run short actually of avoiding

800
00:40:14,427 --> 00:40:16,747

802
00:40:20,147 --> 00:40:22,827
Speaker 2: our news at one, we're going to go back twenty

803
00:40:22,867 --> 00:40:25,307
Speaker 2: five years to one of the most famous innings in

804
00:40:25,387 --> 00:40:28,587
Speaker 2: New Zealand cricket history. We spoke about it briefly a

805
00:40:28,587 --> 00:40:32,627
Speaker 2: little while ago. Matthew Sinclair a double one hundred on debut.

806
00:40:32,947 --> 00:40:36,187
Speaker 2: He will join us for some reminiscing after one significant

807
00:40:36,227 --> 00:40:40,147
Speaker 2: moments of sport in the calendarar of twenty twenty four,

808
00:40:40,187 --> 00:40:41,907
Speaker 2: and there have been a few to choose from. I

809
00:40:41,947 --> 00:40:43,907
Speaker 2: can tell you so a year in review show for

810
00:40:44,027 --> 00:40:48,347
Speaker 2: you tomorrow between midday and three. For today, though, we're

811
00:40:48,547 --> 00:40:50,907
Speaker 2: got a bit more cricket for you this hour. Matthew

812
00:40:50,947 --> 00:40:53,187
Speaker 2: Sinclair along shortly to talk about one of the most

813
00:40:53,187 --> 00:40:56,587
Speaker 2: famous innings in our test history. The Super Smash is

814
00:40:56,667 --> 00:40:59,587
Speaker 2: also underway. Finally, we didn't get any in on Boxing Day.

815
00:40:59,627 --> 00:41:02,187
Speaker 2: We've got a bit in in Hamilton before at Rain.

816
00:41:02,267 --> 00:41:06,667
Speaker 2: The women's game between Northern and Auckland lasted twelve overs

817
00:41:06,747 --> 00:41:09,387
Speaker 2: Northern sixty seven for seven and then it was abandoned

818
00:41:09,787 --> 00:41:13,027
Speaker 2: due to rain, so no result there and the men

819
00:41:13,067 --> 00:41:15,307
Speaker 2: didn't even get under way, so that was a shame

820
00:41:15,347 --> 00:41:18,747
Speaker 2: for Boxing Day and Hamilton. Yesterday in Alexandra though it

821
00:41:18,787 --> 00:41:20,987
Speaker 2: was the opposite. It was so hot down there, man,

822
00:41:21,027 --> 00:41:24,347
Speaker 2: it looked hot. Was watching these games on TV as

823
00:41:24,427 --> 00:41:29,547
Speaker 2: Otago and Canterbury clashed. In the women's game, Canterbury won

824
00:41:29,667 --> 00:41:32,227
Speaker 2: thirty seven for seven in their twenty overs and then

825
00:41:32,267 --> 00:41:35,267
Speaker 2: restricted Otago to one twenty five for seven for a

826
00:41:35,307 --> 00:41:38,347
Speaker 2: twelve run win. And it was equally close in the

827
00:41:38,387 --> 00:41:42,307
Speaker 2: men's game as well, with Otago batting first in the

828
00:41:42,307 --> 00:41:45,027
Speaker 2: men's game getting through to one sixty five for nine

829
00:41:45,667 --> 00:41:48,747
Speaker 2: and Canterbury restricted to one fifty five, so a ten

830
00:41:48,867 --> 00:41:53,547
Speaker 2: run win for Otago. Max Chew took the captain captain

831
00:41:53,587 --> 00:41:56,387
Speaker 2: seat Luke Georgison as the usual captain of Otago but

832
00:41:56,387 --> 00:42:00,347
Speaker 2: he's out injured, so Max Chew took the armband and

833
00:42:00,667 --> 00:42:03,547
Speaker 2: did it pretty well. What an innings from him eighty

834
00:42:03,627 --> 00:42:07,467
Speaker 2: two in Otago's won sixty five nine. Have a chat

835
00:42:07,467 --> 00:42:09,707
Speaker 2: to Max Chew this out and across the Tasman as well.

836
00:42:09,947 --> 00:42:14,267
Speaker 2: Adam Peacock talking Boxing Day Test, the Brisbane Tennis International

837
00:42:14,347 --> 00:42:17,707
Speaker 2: also this tragedy on the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.

838
00:42:17,747 --> 00:42:21,467
Speaker 2: But we start this hour with a look back in time,

839
00:42:21,907 --> 00:42:25,387
Speaker 2: a quarter of a century ago, twenty five years since

840
00:42:25,427 --> 00:42:28,107
Speaker 2: one of the most famous innings in our Test cricket history.

841
00:42:29,667 --> 00:42:32,627
Speaker 7: It he's gone for a sink there, studied in a two.

842
00:42:34,667 --> 00:42:39,147
Speaker 2: Going towards the boundary. Four ns max is two hundred.

843
00:42:39,867 --> 00:42:42,267
Speaker 2: What a moment for him to choose it. Yeah. In

844
00:42:42,307 --> 00:42:45,547
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety nine Boxing Day Test against the West

845
00:42:45,587 --> 00:42:48,587
Speaker 2: Indies at the Base in Reserve, Matthew Sinclair scored two

846
00:42:48,747 --> 00:42:53,067
Speaker 2: hundred and fourteen on Test debut, still the highest score

847
00:42:53,187 --> 00:42:55,947
Speaker 2: by a New Zealand batter on their Test deboo and

848
00:42:55,987 --> 00:42:58,867
Speaker 2: it helped New Zealand to an innings victory over the

849
00:42:58,867 --> 00:43:01,667
Speaker 2: West Indies. Matthew Sinclair is with us for a bit

850
00:43:01,667 --> 00:43:05,027
Speaker 2: of a wander down memory lane twenty five years ago. Matthew,

851
00:43:05,027 --> 00:43:07,987
Speaker 2: hard to believe. How often do you think back to

852
00:43:08,507 --> 00:43:10,387
Speaker 2: that innings and that Test match?

853
00:43:12,707 --> 00:43:13,667
Speaker 6: Enough? I don't mate it.

854
00:43:13,707 --> 00:43:15,867
Speaker 19: I think I think social media is pretty good for

855
00:43:15,907 --> 00:43:17,147
Speaker 19: that nowadays, you know what I mean?

856
00:43:17,987 --> 00:43:20,307
Speaker 6: But nah, it's sort of it sort of felt like yesterday.

857
00:43:20,307 --> 00:43:21,747
Speaker 19: Funny enough, you know what I mean just all the

858
00:43:21,787 --> 00:43:25,467
Speaker 19: emotions and all the all sort of I guess the

859
00:43:25,507 --> 00:43:27,867
Speaker 19: good will that happened with it, and I mean obviously

860
00:43:27,867 --> 00:43:29,787
Speaker 19: it's in the past now sort of stuff, but still

861
00:43:29,827 --> 00:43:32,347
Speaker 19: good to bring up and be lucky enough.

862
00:43:32,187 --> 00:43:32,747
Speaker 6: To be part of it.

863
00:43:32,827 --> 00:43:33,027
Speaker 5: Yeah.

864
00:43:33,027 --> 00:43:35,587
Speaker 2: I love reminiscing about this sort of thing. Before that series,

865
00:43:36,227 --> 00:43:38,387
Speaker 2: did you feel like you were in the frame for

866
00:43:38,667 --> 00:43:41,427
Speaker 2: selection into the New Zealand team?

867
00:43:41,507 --> 00:43:42,187
Speaker 6: Not really.

868
00:43:42,387 --> 00:43:45,267
Speaker 19: I mean like I had relative pretty good domestic form

869
00:43:45,307 --> 00:43:48,187
Speaker 19: for Central Districts leading up to that, and as it

870
00:43:48,267 --> 00:43:51,307
Speaker 19: turned out, I mean, I only really got my opportunity

871
00:43:51,467 --> 00:43:54,347
Speaker 19: through an injury through Matt Horn, so he broke his

872
00:43:54,427 --> 00:43:59,107
Speaker 19: hand and then obviously got the call up home Silver

873
00:43:59,187 --> 00:44:01,107
Speaker 19: to Alien said Matt you're in the You're in the

874
00:44:01,107 --> 00:44:03,427
Speaker 19: test match, and I said, wow, okay, cool way it

875
00:44:03,467 --> 00:44:03,987
Speaker 19: went from him.

876
00:44:04,347 --> 00:44:06,267
Speaker 2: So you came into the New Zealand side with them.

877
00:44:06,427 --> 00:44:07,827
Speaker 2: You know a couple of guys have been around for

878
00:44:07,867 --> 00:44:10,067
Speaker 2: a while. Stephen Fleming was the captain, Chris Kens was

879
00:44:10,067 --> 00:44:12,547
Speaker 2: in that team, adam PERORI and others. Was it an

880
00:44:12,547 --> 00:44:15,587
Speaker 2: intimidating team to come into or were you sort of

881
00:44:15,627 --> 00:44:16,987
Speaker 2: welcomed and what was the story there?

882
00:44:17,587 --> 00:44:19,427
Speaker 19: No, I think it was pretty It was pretty welcoming.

883
00:44:19,427 --> 00:44:22,267
Speaker 19: I mean, obviously, here's a guy from the middle of nowhere,

884
00:44:22,387 --> 00:44:24,667
Speaker 19: you know what I mean. And when I mean nowhere,

885
00:44:24,707 --> 00:44:26,427
Speaker 19: I mean like central districts as as such. You know,

886
00:44:26,507 --> 00:44:29,027
Speaker 19: we are considered the country boys of first class cricket,

887
00:44:29,067 --> 00:44:32,947
Speaker 19: and I guess the opportunity to get on and play

888
00:44:32,947 --> 00:44:36,467
Speaker 19: with the big boys was certainly really overwhelming. But I

889
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:39,987
Speaker 19: mean they embraced me. They obviously had played against quite

890
00:44:39,987 --> 00:44:41,667
Speaker 19: a few of them over the first class sort of

891
00:44:41,947 --> 00:44:45,547
Speaker 19: time domestic period as well, so and I was just like, wow,

892
00:44:45,627 --> 00:44:46,667
Speaker 19: thankful for the opportunity.

893
00:44:46,707 --> 00:44:50,627
Speaker 2: Really, so in hindsight, how helpful was it to bat first?

894
00:44:50,667 --> 00:44:52,627
Speaker 2: Because Western he's won the tiss I've forgotten this sent

895
00:44:52,707 --> 00:44:56,307
Speaker 2: you in? Was that for you as a debutante knowing

896
00:44:56,307 --> 00:44:58,907
Speaker 2: you were batting three? Was that helpful rather than having

897
00:44:58,907 --> 00:45:00,427
Speaker 2: a couple of days in the field or a day

898
00:45:00,427 --> 00:45:02,787
Speaker 2: in the field, or would you preferred the other way around?

899
00:45:03,387 --> 00:45:05,107
Speaker 19: I think probably it was a great chance just to

900
00:45:05,147 --> 00:45:08,147
Speaker 19: get out there straight away, really, I mean, I mean,

901
00:45:08,187 --> 00:45:10,347
Speaker 19: I have some people preferred the opportunity to give yourself

902
00:45:10,347 --> 00:45:12,547
Speaker 19: a bit of time to get into it, get the

903
00:45:12,547 --> 00:45:14,427
Speaker 19: feel of it sort of thing. But now it was

904
00:45:14,427 --> 00:45:15,867
Speaker 19: for me, it was just to get out there and

905
00:45:15,907 --> 00:45:19,147
Speaker 19: just just get amongst it. Really, it was obviously pretty

906
00:45:19,187 --> 00:45:23,267
Speaker 19: pretty nerve wracking for obvious reasons. But I guess, you know,

907
00:45:23,387 --> 00:45:25,387
Speaker 19: my low mindset, it was just to try and get

908
00:45:25,387 --> 00:45:27,547
Speaker 19: off the mark. That was my That was one of

909
00:45:27,547 --> 00:45:30,147
Speaker 19: my sort of strategies. And then and I've got a

910
00:45:30,147 --> 00:45:33,347
Speaker 19: French cut. And then and I think I remember walking down.

911
00:45:33,387 --> 00:45:35,187
Speaker 19: I think Craig Spearman was batting me with me at

912
00:45:35,227 --> 00:45:37,427
Speaker 19: the at the other end and said, Matt, well, skippy,

913
00:45:37,587 --> 00:45:40,107
Speaker 19: you know aka so nickname, this is going to be

914
00:45:40,107 --> 00:45:44,147
Speaker 19: your day. And it's like, well, okay, well away from there, as.

915
00:45:43,947 --> 00:45:46,267
Speaker 2: You were waiting to bet. Yeah, yeah, Craig spam and

916
00:45:46,307 --> 00:45:49,107
Speaker 2: Gary Stead was the was the other opener. So he

917
00:45:49,187 --> 00:45:51,987
Speaker 2: gets out you're as you're waiting to bat, I mean,

918
00:45:52,227 --> 00:45:54,387
Speaker 2: are you are you nervous? What are the emotions like

919
00:45:54,427 --> 00:45:55,027
Speaker 2: at that time?

920
00:45:55,787 --> 00:45:56,027
Speaker 1: Yeah?

921
00:45:56,307 --> 00:45:59,347
Speaker 6: I mean I'm sort of quite a talkative sort of guy.

922
00:45:59,467 --> 00:46:01,867
Speaker 19: Like if my emotions are more like if I feel

923
00:46:01,907 --> 00:46:03,787
Speaker 19: like I'm nervous, I tend to talk too much. So

924
00:46:04,507 --> 00:46:07,987
Speaker 19: and that tend to even quite a bit with me, unfortunately.

925
00:46:08,027 --> 00:46:10,307
Speaker 19: But I guess you know, I was sitting next to

926
00:46:10,307 --> 00:46:12,907
Speaker 19: a friend of mine who had played I think through

927
00:46:12,907 --> 00:46:14,867
Speaker 19: Age Group cricket, and I just sort of talked away

928
00:46:14,907 --> 00:46:16,747
Speaker 19: through to him and and just so of just went

929
00:46:16,787 --> 00:46:20,147
Speaker 19: about my normal business, to be honest. And I guess

930
00:46:20,187 --> 00:46:22,947
Speaker 19: the other thing about it, like I, you know, we

931
00:46:22,947 --> 00:46:24,947
Speaker 19: talked about Crook had been a big mental game, and

932
00:46:24,987 --> 00:46:26,827
Speaker 19: I guess for me it really was to be given

933
00:46:26,827 --> 00:46:28,667
Speaker 19: the opportunity to obviously play from his z own against

934
00:46:28,787 --> 00:46:31,427
Speaker 19: very good with Indy side, and I just kept self

935
00:46:31,467 --> 00:46:33,467
Speaker 19: talking myself up and said, hey, look I can do this,

936
00:46:33,627 --> 00:46:35,907
Speaker 19: I can do this. And funny enough, the next day

937
00:46:35,947 --> 00:46:37,787
Speaker 19: I just went out and just the mindset was just

938
00:46:37,827 --> 00:46:40,707
Speaker 19: such that I could do this. And that's pretty much

939
00:46:40,707 --> 00:46:41,547
Speaker 19: how I ended up being.

940
00:46:41,627 --> 00:46:45,627
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you, I mean, Craig Speaman got out, Stephen

941
00:46:45,667 --> 00:46:48,267
Speaker 2: Fleming comes and you had a good partnership with him,

942
00:46:48,267 --> 00:46:50,627
Speaker 2: and then following that a good partnership with Nathan Astell

943
00:46:50,667 --> 00:46:53,627
Speaker 2: as well. How how helpful were they as you built

944
00:46:53,627 --> 00:46:54,267
Speaker 2: your runnings?

945
00:46:54,827 --> 00:46:57,067
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think the key was the partnerships. And there's

946
00:46:57,067 --> 00:47:02,187
Speaker 19: nothing better batting with batting and partnerships, and obviously with

947
00:47:02,267 --> 00:47:04,427
Speaker 19: like Nathan being there being in the team for a

948
00:47:04,467 --> 00:47:06,827
Speaker 19: while as well, and obviously better with Steven as well,

949
00:47:07,547 --> 00:47:10,747
Speaker 19: just sort of coursing me through the trials and tribulations

950
00:47:10,747 --> 00:47:13,427
Speaker 19: of Test match cricket really, so they were real massive help.

951
00:47:13,787 --> 00:47:15,467
Speaker 19: And I guess the other thing was nothing better than

952
00:47:15,507 --> 00:47:17,107
Speaker 19: just keep scoring runs, you know what I mean. We

953
00:47:17,147 --> 00:47:19,907
Speaker 19: had the imputus of good partnerships and the opportunity to

954
00:47:19,947 --> 00:47:22,587
Speaker 19: keep scoring runs, so we just kept sort of bringing

955
00:47:22,587 --> 00:47:23,107
Speaker 19: that onto them.

956
00:47:23,187 --> 00:47:25,347
Speaker 2: So you get to thirty, you get to forty, you

957
00:47:25,347 --> 00:47:27,387
Speaker 2: bring up your half century. Are you starting to feel

958
00:47:27,387 --> 00:47:28,307
Speaker 2: comfortable at the state?

959
00:47:29,147 --> 00:47:33,307
Speaker 19: Ah? Slightly, But the ability to get off the mark

960
00:47:33,467 --> 00:47:35,987
Speaker 19: was my first initial thing and then I guess it

961
00:47:36,067 --> 00:47:39,227
Speaker 19: just sort of kept going from there. When you sort

962
00:47:39,227 --> 00:47:41,347
Speaker 19: of talk about sort of sportsmen getting in the zone

963
00:47:41,387 --> 00:47:43,667
Speaker 19: sort of thing, I started really pretty much getting into

964
00:47:43,667 --> 00:47:46,507
Speaker 19: that zone and was starting to feel slightly comfortable with

965
00:47:47,107 --> 00:47:49,627
Speaker 19: what was going on and which is like really reveling

966
00:47:49,627 --> 00:47:51,827
Speaker 19: and obviously a big crowd as well, so that pumped

967
00:47:51,867 --> 00:47:55,667
Speaker 19: me up. And yeah, it was just showing my showcases,

968
00:47:55,707 --> 00:47:58,027
Speaker 19: really just showing my skills. And I guess the ball

969
00:47:58,747 --> 00:48:00,147
Speaker 19: a lot of the majority of the times was in

970
00:48:00,187 --> 00:48:01,907
Speaker 19: my areas and I just maximized on it.

971
00:48:02,107 --> 00:48:03,947
Speaker 2: Tell us about the moment you brought up your hundred.

972
00:48:04,827 --> 00:48:08,027
Speaker 19: Yeah, that was pretty special. They talk about the nervous

973
00:48:08,107 --> 00:48:10,507
Speaker 19: nineties and that sort of thing. It was just like, well, yeah,

974
00:48:10,507 --> 00:48:13,027
Speaker 19: that was definitely on my mind. But you know, at

975
00:48:13,067 --> 00:48:14,627
Speaker 19: the end of the day, it was just like I

976
00:48:14,667 --> 00:48:17,667
Speaker 19: think I remember talking to John right funny enough prior

977
00:48:17,707 --> 00:48:19,187
Speaker 19: to the Test match and he said to me in

978
00:48:19,227 --> 00:48:21,667
Speaker 19: the change said, Matt, you know, look at that big

979
00:48:21,707 --> 00:48:24,227
Speaker 19: scold up there and look at it, you know, MS

980
00:48:24,387 --> 00:48:27,747
Speaker 19: and Claire one hundred. And then it was like wow, okay,

981
00:48:27,827 --> 00:48:30,947
Speaker 19: so and then yeah, there it was ended up being

982
00:48:31,027 --> 00:48:33,307
Speaker 19: like that in that stage. So yeah, it was very

983
00:48:33,307 --> 00:48:36,387
Speaker 19: special to bring obviously, you know, obviously one hundred it's

984
00:48:36,387 --> 00:48:39,347
Speaker 19: a pinnacle of most cricketers obviously. But then it was like, well, no,

985
00:48:39,467 --> 00:48:40,347
Speaker 19: I just want to keep going.

986
00:48:40,507 --> 00:48:41,987
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was going to ask you about that

987
00:48:42,067 --> 00:48:44,467
Speaker 2: because I guess having scored or even having scored thirty

988
00:48:44,547 --> 00:48:46,667
Speaker 2: or forty, I haven't failed on my Test day.

989
00:48:46,667 --> 00:48:46,867
Speaker 5: Boo.

990
00:48:47,187 --> 00:48:48,747
Speaker 2: You bring up one hundred and you man, I've scored

991
00:48:48,747 --> 00:48:50,907
Speaker 2: a hundred on Test day boo. But then what sort

992
00:48:50,907 --> 00:48:53,467
Speaker 2: of internal conversations are you having with yourself to say, right,

993
00:48:53,507 --> 00:48:55,347
Speaker 2: this isn't enough. I'm carrying on here.

994
00:48:55,947 --> 00:48:59,267
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think it's built around I guess a lot

995
00:48:59,267 --> 00:49:02,987
Speaker 19: of you know, make Haywell sunshine sort of thing. And

996
00:49:03,067 --> 00:49:05,667
Speaker 19: I guess through my domestic career, you know, I was

997
00:49:05,747 --> 00:49:08,507
Speaker 19: always about but when I do get you know, hundreds

998
00:49:08,587 --> 00:49:10,187
Speaker 19: or we call it big scores, and I just wanted

999
00:49:10,227 --> 00:49:11,667
Speaker 19: to keep going and going, you know what I mean.

1000
00:49:11,707 --> 00:49:14,147
Speaker 19: I just wanted to be someone different in that respect.

1001
00:49:14,187 --> 00:49:15,867
Speaker 19: You know, we've you hear, like you said before, a

1002
00:49:15,907 --> 00:49:17,747
Speaker 19: lot of people getting thirties and forties, you know, and

1003
00:49:17,827 --> 00:49:20,387
Speaker 19: I try and teach sort of guys and the kids

1004
00:49:20,387 --> 00:49:23,067
Speaker 19: and those going through firstas cricket. You know, that's only

1005
00:49:23,867 --> 00:49:25,707
Speaker 19: that's sort of part of the so called problem. Let's

1006
00:49:25,707 --> 00:49:28,307
Speaker 19: get the solution, the solutions to keep going and going. Really,

1007
00:49:28,387 --> 00:49:30,307
Speaker 19: I mean, you should really be seeing the ball like

1008
00:49:30,467 --> 00:49:32,987
Speaker 19: a absolute beat ball, you know what I mean. So,

1009
00:49:33,947 --> 00:49:36,467
Speaker 19: and I guess me was just like, well, I'm just

1010
00:49:36,467 --> 00:49:38,267
Speaker 19: going to keep going here because we were in a

1011
00:49:38,267 --> 00:49:40,667
Speaker 19: good position. I had a lot of partnerships with various

1012
00:49:40,667 --> 00:49:42,587
Speaker 19: other guys through the three the endings, and we just

1013
00:49:42,667 --> 00:49:44,387
Speaker 19: kept going on with that and keep rolling with it.

1014
00:49:44,627 --> 00:49:46,907
Speaker 2: What wasn't I think my memory is right here. It

1015
00:49:46,947 --> 00:49:48,587
Speaker 2: is a long time ago. It was Nathan nastill run

1016
00:49:48,627 --> 00:49:50,387
Speaker 2: out as you tried to bring up your two hundred.

1017
00:49:51,187 --> 00:49:53,827
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I think Nathan will probably never

1018
00:49:53,987 --> 00:49:57,587
Speaker 19: forgive that. I will say that it was his call,

1019
00:49:57,707 --> 00:50:01,587
Speaker 19: not mine. So but if Nathan's obviously listened, this is

1020
00:50:01,587 --> 00:50:04,427
Speaker 19: probably a different instead of variation. But I mean that

1021
00:50:04,547 --> 00:50:06,707
Speaker 19: just sort of shows, you know, just the I guess,

1022
00:50:06,707 --> 00:50:08,267
Speaker 19: the closest we had in the team that we were

1023
00:50:08,267 --> 00:50:09,947
Speaker 19: pushing each other to do what we need to do

1024
00:50:10,107 --> 00:50:12,307
Speaker 19: and having a good parts with Nathan as well help that,

1025
00:50:12,787 --> 00:50:14,827
Speaker 19: and obviously trying to get me through to that as well.

1026
00:50:15,227 --> 00:50:17,947
Speaker 2: So shortly after that you did bring up the two hundred.

1027
00:50:17,947 --> 00:50:19,907
Speaker 2: What what is it like looking up at that school

1028
00:50:19,907 --> 00:50:22,107
Speaker 2: board and seeing ms sint clear two hundred?

1029
00:50:22,587 --> 00:50:25,387
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, I mean obviously that was just I mean,

1030
00:50:25,427 --> 00:50:27,747
Speaker 19: other records just kept falling and falling. Really, I guess

1031
00:50:27,787 --> 00:50:29,867
Speaker 19: through the through the times and the period that I

1032
00:50:29,907 --> 00:50:31,987
Speaker 19: was kept batting, and I remember we break I had,

1033
00:50:32,027 --> 00:50:34,067
Speaker 19: you know what I mean, Ken's were saying, hey, Skip,

1034
00:50:34,107 --> 00:50:36,307
Speaker 19: you know, look what you've done. You're hitting, you're taking,

1035
00:50:36,307 --> 00:50:38,227
Speaker 19: you're pushing everybody else down sort of stuff. You know

1036
00:50:38,227 --> 00:50:40,907
Speaker 19: what I mean, Just keep going, man, you know typical bowlers,

1037
00:50:40,907 --> 00:50:42,867
Speaker 19: a you know, I have as much time on the

1038
00:50:42,907 --> 00:50:46,107
Speaker 19: sidelines as possible sort of things. So they were telling

1039
00:50:46,107 --> 00:50:48,187
Speaker 19: me all the way through it, hey, just just keep going,

1040
00:50:48,227 --> 00:50:50,387
Speaker 19: you keep breaking the records, and I just kept going.

1041
00:50:50,427 --> 00:50:53,787
Speaker 19: I mean like eventually fatigue sort of did start impact

1042
00:50:53,787 --> 00:50:57,107
Speaker 19: things on the nings. I can't remember finny how long

1043
00:50:57,107 --> 00:50:59,107
Speaker 19: I bat it for, probably eight nine hours sort of stuff.

1044
00:50:59,107 --> 00:51:01,347
Speaker 19: It was certainly up there sort of thing. But you know,

1045
00:51:01,387 --> 00:51:03,507
Speaker 19: it was that sort of got on me, I guess

1046
00:51:03,547 --> 00:51:05,227
Speaker 19: really just for the mental sort of side of it.

1047
00:51:05,307 --> 00:51:07,827
Speaker 19: But yeah, to set it up on the score would

1048
00:51:07,867 --> 00:51:09,147
Speaker 19: get there's something very special.

1049
00:51:09,307 --> 00:51:11,827
Speaker 2: Yeah, close to nine hours, it was. So eventually you say,

1050
00:51:11,867 --> 00:51:15,027
Speaker 2: fatigue set and you're out for two fourteen. So you

1051
00:51:15,107 --> 00:51:18,187
Speaker 2: walk back in. Are you then sitting alone just reflecting

1052
00:51:18,227 --> 00:51:20,747
Speaker 2: in the in the changing room under the basin there

1053
00:51:20,747 --> 00:51:21,667
Speaker 2: for a few minutes.

1054
00:51:22,307 --> 00:51:24,147
Speaker 19: Yeah, it was pretty cool. It was just like you know,

1055
00:51:24,147 --> 00:51:26,387
Speaker 19: when they bring up the highlights and it was just

1056
00:51:26,387 --> 00:51:28,547
Speaker 19: just awesome just to see the highlights and it was like, wow,

1057
00:51:28,707 --> 00:51:30,147
Speaker 19: it was that actually me, you know what I mean.

1058
00:51:30,187 --> 00:51:33,827
Speaker 19: And yeah, it just like I said before, it's like

1059
00:51:33,867 --> 00:51:35,067
Speaker 19: I was in the zone, you know what I mean.

1060
00:51:35,107 --> 00:51:37,387
Speaker 19: I just felt like no matter what you threw at me,

1061
00:51:37,427 --> 00:51:40,627
Speaker 19: I had an answer for it, and that was pretty special.

1062
00:51:40,747 --> 00:51:42,507
Speaker 19: And a lot of cricketers will talk to you about that.

1063
00:51:42,547 --> 00:51:44,707
Speaker 19: When they're in that zone and things are happening, it

1064
00:51:44,827 --> 00:51:47,427
Speaker 19: just ends to happen. And I guess that sort of

1065
00:51:47,627 --> 00:51:49,747
Speaker 19: that day day and a half for me was pretty

1066
00:51:49,787 --> 00:51:50,427
Speaker 19: much part of that.

1067
00:51:51,147 --> 00:51:53,627
Speaker 2: Your three Test centuries with that one to fourteen, two

1068
00:51:53,707 --> 00:51:56,747
Speaker 2: hundred and four not out and one fifty. I guess

1069
00:51:56,787 --> 00:51:59,347
Speaker 2: goes back to what you said before. But what was

1070
00:51:59,387 --> 00:52:02,267
Speaker 2: it in you that wanted to make big hundreds?

1071
00:52:02,867 --> 00:52:04,827
Speaker 19: I think just to never give in and just to

1072
00:52:04,867 --> 00:52:07,707
Speaker 19: never give up. And like I sort of mentioned before,

1073
00:52:07,787 --> 00:52:11,347
Speaker 19: like as batsman, you know we you know, I just

1074
00:52:11,347 --> 00:52:14,507
Speaker 19: wanted to keep going. You know we talk about sort

1075
00:52:14,507 --> 00:52:17,507
Speaker 19: of the figures of getting one hundred or one fifty, two hundred. Well,

1076
00:52:17,547 --> 00:52:19,147
Speaker 19: I looked at us trying to get a big score.

1077
00:52:19,507 --> 00:52:21,147
Speaker 19: So I always kept sort of saying, soself, what's a

1078
00:52:21,147 --> 00:52:24,147
Speaker 19: big score? Keep getting a big score and some enough.

1079
00:52:24,267 --> 00:52:26,187
Speaker 19: You know, we talked about various work mates. You know,

1080
00:52:26,227 --> 00:52:28,667
Speaker 19: you look like a Brian Lara, you know, the guy

1081
00:52:28,787 --> 00:52:30,947
Speaker 19: just kept batting for long periods of time, you know

1082
00:52:30,987 --> 00:52:33,027
Speaker 19: what I mean? And it's like, well, that's what he's

1083
00:52:33,067 --> 00:52:35,587
Speaker 19: renowned for, and that's that's the mental I guess I

1084
00:52:35,627 --> 00:52:37,827
Speaker 19: just had that mental attitude to keep going. I just

1085
00:52:37,867 --> 00:52:39,707
Speaker 19: never wanted to give it. I just wanted to keep going.

1086
00:52:40,267 --> 00:52:42,467
Speaker 19: And I guess that's my forte I guess of all

1087
00:52:42,547 --> 00:52:44,427
Speaker 19: my cricket, I guess you know, when I did get

1088
00:52:45,107 --> 00:52:47,027
Speaker 19: a big score, I'd try to keep going and going,

1089
00:52:47,067 --> 00:52:48,827
Speaker 19: you know, because it's just the beauty about it.

1090
00:52:49,267 --> 00:52:52,427
Speaker 2: Well, the Western he's sledging you, chatting to you early

1091
00:52:52,467 --> 00:52:54,347
Speaker 2: in the innings, and I guess they would have quieted

1092
00:52:54,387 --> 00:52:56,907
Speaker 2: down later. But were they big chatter as the Windy's boys.

1093
00:52:57,547 --> 00:52:58,307
Speaker 6: No, they weren't.

1094
00:52:58,347 --> 00:53:01,147
Speaker 19: I think initially when I got out there there was

1095
00:53:01,187 --> 00:53:02,947
Speaker 19: the odd short ball at my head sort of stuff,

1096
00:53:02,987 --> 00:53:05,187
Speaker 19: just to remind me, hey, welcome to Test match cricket,

1097
00:53:05,227 --> 00:53:08,067
Speaker 19: you know what I mean. So I had a little

1098
00:53:08,067 --> 00:53:09,667
Speaker 19: bit of an idea as to how I wanted to

1099
00:53:09,707 --> 00:53:12,107
Speaker 19: go about my innings as well. And I did play

1100
00:53:12,107 --> 00:53:13,987
Speaker 19: a game against the Western his team. I think it

1101
00:53:13,987 --> 00:53:16,107
Speaker 19: could have been a taalpo and that just gave me

1102
00:53:16,147 --> 00:53:17,707
Speaker 19: a bit of an insight into what they were like.

1103
00:53:17,787 --> 00:53:19,307
Speaker 19: I think I scored twenty eighth there and it was

1104
00:53:19,347 --> 00:53:22,547
Speaker 19: just like a one day warm warm up match sort

1105
00:53:22,547 --> 00:53:24,547
Speaker 19: of thing. So I had a bit of an idea

1106
00:53:24,587 --> 00:53:26,067
Speaker 19: as to what they were trying to bowl on how

1107
00:53:26,107 --> 00:53:28,067
Speaker 19: they're trying to go about it. So I mean I

1108
00:53:28,107 --> 00:53:30,147
Speaker 19: went into that Test match with a plant as well

1109
00:53:30,947 --> 00:53:33,587
Speaker 19: and my strength as my sort of first guys players

1110
00:53:33,587 --> 00:53:35,547
Speaker 19: out there, no as I like it through the off side,

1111
00:53:35,867 --> 00:53:38,147
Speaker 19: back of length through the off side, and I guess

1112
00:53:38,187 --> 00:53:39,747
Speaker 19: that was one of the ideas that I went in

1113
00:53:39,907 --> 00:53:41,587
Speaker 19: was Okay, well these guys are going to pitch anything

1114
00:53:41,627 --> 00:53:44,787
Speaker 19: on the front foot, the big tall guys, you know, lanky,

1115
00:53:45,187 --> 00:53:47,387
Speaker 19: just a different type of scenarios of the ball that

1116
00:53:47,467 --> 00:53:48,827
Speaker 19: was getting was going to be a lot different. So

1117
00:53:48,867 --> 00:53:51,187
Speaker 19: I ended up working around okay, well this is what's

1118
00:53:51,187 --> 00:53:53,027
Speaker 19: going to be like in this is hung about scoring it.

1119
00:53:53,427 --> 00:53:54,907
Speaker 2: I remember in the lead up to the Test there

1120
00:53:54,907 --> 00:53:56,467
Speaker 2: was a bit of chat about the fact you were

1121
00:53:56,467 --> 00:54:00,667
Speaker 2: born in Australia and I remember the back page of

1122
00:54:00,707 --> 00:54:02,667
Speaker 2: the I guess it would have been the Dominion, Dominion

1123
00:54:02,667 --> 00:54:04,867
Speaker 2: Post whatever it was. The next day, he's a key

1124
00:54:04,907 --> 00:54:05,987
Speaker 2: we now do you remember that?

1125
00:54:07,027 --> 00:54:07,267
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1126
00:54:07,307 --> 00:54:07,507
Speaker 8: I do.

1127
00:54:08,267 --> 00:54:10,947
Speaker 19: That's amazing. It's almost like you know, it was one

1128
00:54:10,987 --> 00:54:15,267
Speaker 19: of us but he's yours now. But yeah, it's it's

1129
00:54:15,267 --> 00:54:17,347
Speaker 19: sort of quite It's quite funny how like that sort

1130
00:54:17,387 --> 00:54:19,427
Speaker 19: of tends to start happening. They like to claim us

1131
00:54:19,467 --> 00:54:21,147
Speaker 19: as theirs when we do well, when they and we

1132
00:54:21,147 --> 00:54:22,667
Speaker 19: don't do well. I don't want to know about us,

1133
00:54:22,707 --> 00:54:24,987
Speaker 19: you know what I mean? So I get that. But

1134
00:54:25,667 --> 00:54:28,267
Speaker 19: you know, here's a guy from Northern Territory. Half of

1135
00:54:28,307 --> 00:54:30,187
Speaker 19: it woldn't know where I was born sort of stuff.

1136
00:54:31,107 --> 00:54:33,627
Speaker 19: Good quiz question. I think they only two international players

1137
00:54:33,667 --> 00:54:36,187
Speaker 19: that I've actually from Northern terrich for myself and Damien Martin.

1138
00:54:36,267 --> 00:54:38,307
Speaker 19: So if you ever find that on us spaces bottle

1139
00:54:38,347 --> 00:54:42,027
Speaker 19: cap or too, he capped pliny thing Damien Martin. So

1140
00:54:42,667 --> 00:54:45,187
Speaker 19: but yeah, I mean like it was. You know, I

1141
00:54:45,187 --> 00:54:47,707
Speaker 19: got to New Zentlements five years of age. I put

1142
00:54:47,747 --> 00:54:49,907
Speaker 19: a lot of my cricketing career down to going to

1143
00:54:50,027 --> 00:54:53,227
Speaker 19: very good schools Huntley School, especially in Palmers North Boys

1144
00:54:53,307 --> 00:54:56,427
Speaker 19: High School, and I just fell in love with the game.

1145
00:54:56,507 --> 00:54:56,707
Speaker 6: You know.

1146
00:54:56,787 --> 00:55:00,267
Speaker 19: I had no genealogy around, no family played cricket, and

1147
00:55:00,307 --> 00:55:02,227
Speaker 19: I just worked really really hard to be the best

1148
00:55:02,267 --> 00:55:04,787
Speaker 19: I could be and to begive an opportunity to obviously

1149
00:55:04,787 --> 00:55:06,947
Speaker 19: written Sene and play for my country is very very

1150
00:55:06,947 --> 00:55:09,827
Speaker 19: special and to do what I have done, Yeah sure.

1151
00:55:09,947 --> 00:55:12,267
Speaker 19: My whole career has had its ups and downs, and

1152
00:55:12,627 --> 00:55:14,747
Speaker 19: you know I read about those and I was like, yeah, well,

1153
00:55:14,947 --> 00:55:18,067
Speaker 19: you know, unfortunately top sports is like that, you know

1154
00:55:18,067 --> 00:55:19,507
Speaker 19: what I mean. And that's why I guess, you know,

1155
00:55:19,547 --> 00:55:21,427
Speaker 19: when I did have it in my day, I certainly

1156
00:55:21,427 --> 00:55:22,027
Speaker 19: made the most of it.

1157
00:55:22,107 --> 00:55:23,827
Speaker 2: Absolutely. We'll tell you what. No one can ever take

1158
00:55:23,827 --> 00:55:25,627
Speaker 2: a double hundred or a couple of double hundreds in

1159
00:55:25,667 --> 00:55:28,467
Speaker 2: your case away from you. So what's your what's your

1160
00:55:28,467 --> 00:55:29,987
Speaker 2: involvement in cricket these days?

1161
00:55:30,427 --> 00:55:32,507
Speaker 19: So not a heat of a lot at the moment.

1162
00:55:33,347 --> 00:55:35,827
Speaker 19: I do have opportunities over in India where I go

1163
00:55:35,907 --> 00:55:38,427
Speaker 19: over there and actually sort of coach and sort of

1164
00:55:38,427 --> 00:55:40,987
Speaker 19: mentor a lot of kids over there. I do have

1165
00:55:40,987 --> 00:55:43,467
Speaker 19: a cricket academy, so I try and get the opportunity

1166
00:55:43,467 --> 00:55:46,427
Speaker 19: to go over there as much as possible. I must

1167
00:55:46,467 --> 00:55:48,107
Speaker 19: admit it. It's really hard point me. I mean, I've

1168
00:55:48,107 --> 00:55:50,467
Speaker 19: got a brain sitting in here of thirty two years

1169
00:55:50,507 --> 00:55:53,507
Speaker 19: I've experienced playing here in New Zealand on every conditions.

1170
00:55:53,547 --> 00:55:55,867
Speaker 19: I know half the parks around here off the back

1171
00:55:55,907 --> 00:55:58,147
Speaker 19: of my hand, and you know, I'm really keen to

1172
00:55:58,147 --> 00:55:59,627
Speaker 19: sort of and put a lot of that knowledge on

1173
00:55:59,947 --> 00:56:02,747
Speaker 19: to a lot of the guys nowadays. You know, we

1174
00:56:02,587 --> 00:56:04,227
Speaker 19: we were laughing about it before. You know, I was

1175
00:56:04,267 --> 00:56:06,787
Speaker 19: looking at the TV nineteen eighty three what it used

1176
00:56:06,787 --> 00:56:08,587
Speaker 19: to be like back then to what cricket is now.

1177
00:56:08,667 --> 00:56:09,187
Speaker 6: You know what I mean.

1178
00:56:09,267 --> 00:56:12,347
Speaker 19: It's always evolving, but yet it always comes down to

1179
00:56:12,427 --> 00:56:14,187
Speaker 19: simple thing. It's a bat and a ball, you know

1180
00:56:14,187 --> 00:56:16,667
Speaker 19: what I mean. So, and I guess for me, it's

1181
00:56:16,747 --> 00:56:19,467
Speaker 19: just like I still enjoy watching the game and I

1182
00:56:19,547 --> 00:56:22,627
Speaker 19: still partake. I still played Premier cricket as best I

1183
00:56:22,667 --> 00:56:26,147
Speaker 19: can on a Friday night for twenty twenty. So I

1184
00:56:26,147 --> 00:56:28,867
Speaker 19: guess that competitiveness is always going to be there, and

1185
00:56:29,307 --> 00:56:30,507
Speaker 19: I don't think they'll evel leave me.

1186
00:56:30,707 --> 00:56:33,227
Speaker 2: Well, I hope that others can get the benefit of

1187
00:56:33,227 --> 00:56:34,987
Speaker 2: your experience. I'm sure they do. I'll tell you what

1188
00:56:34,987 --> 00:56:38,587
Speaker 2: else this did for me was bemoan now, the lack

1189
00:56:38,627 --> 00:56:42,587
Speaker 2: of a boxing day test. I know they started it

1190
00:56:42,627 --> 00:56:44,627
Speaker 2: and Dawley got seven for in the first one. You

1191
00:56:44,707 --> 00:56:47,227
Speaker 2: got your double hundred, and it kind of you went

1192
00:56:47,267 --> 00:56:48,747
Speaker 2: on for a few years and then sort of faded away.

1193
00:56:48,787 --> 00:56:51,227
Speaker 2: I get the fact that White ball is the name

1194
00:56:51,227 --> 00:56:52,947
Speaker 2: of the game these days, but the Boxing Day Test

1195
00:56:52,947 --> 00:56:55,067
Speaker 2: there was something special about it, even for a short time.

1196
00:56:55,907 --> 00:56:58,947
Speaker 19: I totally agree, and I wish they could bring it back.

1197
00:56:59,187 --> 00:57:01,107
Speaker 19: I guess the thing is it's trying to get teams

1198
00:57:01,467 --> 00:57:05,107
Speaker 19: over to New Zealand here around that time because Christmas

1199
00:57:05,467 --> 00:57:08,107
Speaker 19: is quite special for a lot of teams and players

1200
00:57:08,147 --> 00:57:10,307
Speaker 19: sort of stuff. So but I would love to bring

1201
00:57:10,347 --> 00:57:12,307
Speaker 19: it back here. I think it should be a fixture

1202
00:57:12,347 --> 00:57:14,667
Speaker 19: every year. The Australians do it, and look how well

1203
00:57:14,667 --> 00:57:16,187
Speaker 19: they're doing with it, you know what I mean. It's

1204
00:57:16,267 --> 00:57:18,507
Speaker 19: like a it's an iconic thing over there that that's

1205
00:57:18,547 --> 00:57:21,347
Speaker 19: what they do. So you know, we should embrace it

1206
00:57:21,387 --> 00:57:23,667
Speaker 19: and we should start looking into it. Yes, that the

1207
00:57:23,707 --> 00:57:25,627
Speaker 19: odio sort of side of it. The twenty twenty is

1208
00:57:25,627 --> 00:57:28,187
Speaker 19: starting to take a take a big impact onto the game.

1209
00:57:28,227 --> 00:57:30,267
Speaker 19: But there's nothing better, guys than they're sitting down there

1210
00:57:30,267 --> 00:57:32,507
Speaker 19: on a nice day when you've got the Berhodaka is

1211
00:57:32,547 --> 00:57:34,827
Speaker 19: behind you around Christmas time and just having a few

1212
00:57:34,867 --> 00:57:36,787
Speaker 19: bevies and just watching cricket and sunshine.

1213
00:57:36,947 --> 00:57:37,587
Speaker 6: There's not a better.

1214
00:57:38,107 --> 00:57:38,307
Speaker 17: Yeah.

1215
00:57:38,467 --> 00:57:40,507
Speaker 2: Look, I well, twenty five years on, I remember sitting

1216
00:57:40,587 --> 00:57:42,107
Speaker 2: high in the vance stand for a bit on the

1217
00:57:42,147 --> 00:57:44,787
Speaker 2: bank for a bit watching you smash the windy stall

1218
00:57:44,867 --> 00:57:46,587
Speaker 2: parts could be. It was just such a such a

1219
00:57:46,627 --> 00:57:48,867
Speaker 2: brilliant moment in our history. Hey, thanks for reminiscing it.

00:58:09,027 --> 00:58:11,867
Speaker 2: Zealand beat India by four wickets. I think Simon Duall

1230
00:58:11,947 --> 00:58:15,347
Speaker 2: got seven for in that Test. But this one in

1231
00:58:15,467 --> 00:58:18,467
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine. Look at the New Zealand team. Craig

1232
00:58:18,547 --> 00:58:22,147
Speaker 2: Spearmen and Gary Stead opening the batting, then Sinclair at three,

1233
00:58:22,347 --> 00:58:26,027
Speaker 2: Stephen Fleming, Nathan ast Or, Craig McMillan, Chris Kens, adam PERORI,

1234
00:58:26,947 --> 00:58:31,067
Speaker 2: Dion Nash batting at nine, Daniel Vittori and Shane O'Connor.

1235
00:58:31,507 --> 00:58:34,827
Speaker 2: That was the lineup. Sinclair two hundred and fourteen, Nathan

1236
00:58:34,867 --> 00:58:38,587
Speaker 2: Nastel ninety three, Stephen Fleming got sixty seven and other

1237
00:58:38,627 --> 00:58:42,867
Speaker 2: contributions from others five hundred and eighteen for nine declared

1238
00:58:43,147 --> 00:58:45,027
Speaker 2: the Western He's bowled out for one hundred and seventy

1239
00:58:45,107 --> 00:58:48,507
Speaker 2: nine in their first innings, with Chris Kens taking five

1240
00:58:48,587 --> 00:58:51,467
Speaker 2: for forty four, and following on all out for two

1241
00:58:51,547 --> 00:58:54,227
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty four in their second innings with Dion

1242
00:58:54,387 --> 00:58:56,947
Speaker 2: Nash taking four for thirty eight. So it was all

1243
00:58:56,987 --> 00:59:01,107
Speaker 2: over on the fourth day, an innings victory for New

1244
00:59:01,187 --> 00:59:04,747
Speaker 2: Zealand in the Boxing Day Test of nineteen ninety nine.

1245
00:59:04,787 --> 00:59:06,987
Speaker 2: They should bring it back, shouldn't they. I know we've

1246
00:59:06,987 --> 00:59:10,387
Speaker 2: got cricket tonight in Mount Monganui, but a T twenty

1247
00:59:10,427 --> 00:59:12,467
Speaker 2: International isn't quite the same. And I look at the

1248
00:59:12,507 --> 00:59:15,347
Speaker 2: scenes in Melbourne and I know it's different over there,

1249
00:59:15,387 --> 00:59:18,187
Speaker 2: and it's been going for a lot longer. But that's

1250
00:59:18,227 --> 00:59:20,987
Speaker 2: the thing. If you're going to start it, carry it on,

1251
00:59:21,027 --> 00:59:24,107
Speaker 2: and New Zealand cricket did for a while. There was

1252
00:59:24,107 --> 00:59:27,827
Speaker 2: a Test in two thousand two thousand and one, then

1253
00:59:27,867 --> 00:59:29,507
Speaker 2: in two thousand and two it was replaced by a

1254
00:59:29,547 --> 00:59:31,827
Speaker 2: one day back to a Test match. In two thousand

1255
00:59:31,867 --> 00:59:34,747
Speaker 2: and three. I remember that one Pakistan beat us and

1256
00:59:34,787 --> 00:59:39,467
Speaker 2: Shabakhtar was frightening in that test, charing in and just

1257
00:59:40,107 --> 00:59:42,747
Speaker 2: bowling at one hundred and fifty clicks. Maybe that's why

1258
00:59:42,787 --> 00:59:45,907
Speaker 2: they decided not to have them anymore, because there wasn't

1259
00:59:45,987 --> 00:59:50,147
Speaker 2: a Boxing day Test after two thousand and three until

1260
00:59:50,187 --> 00:59:53,627
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, at which point it moved to Hagley Oval

1261
00:59:54,307 --> 00:59:57,067
Speaker 2: Test against Sri Lanka, which New Zealand won by eight wickets,

1262
00:59:57,627 --> 01:00:01,387
Speaker 2: and then twenty eighteen, also at Hagley, I went over

1263
01:00:01,427 --> 01:00:04,147
Speaker 2: Shri Lanka by four hundred and twenty three runs. And

1264
01:00:04,187 --> 01:00:06,787
Speaker 2: the last time we had a Boxing Day Test was

1265
01:00:07,187 --> 01:00:09,907
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty when Pakistan were here. I went by

1266
01:00:09,987 --> 01:00:12,907
Speaker 2: New Zealand by one hundred and one runs. As I say,

1267
01:00:13,067 --> 01:00:15,107
Speaker 2: be great to have it back. I don't know whether

1268
01:00:15,147 --> 01:00:17,307
Speaker 2: we ever will. The white ball cricket seems to pay

1269
01:00:17,307 --> 01:00:20,347
Speaker 2: the bills, doesn't it. But having started the tradition at

1270
01:00:20,387 --> 01:00:23,307
Speaker 2: the back end of the nineteen nineties, I just I

1271
01:00:23,747 --> 01:00:25,787
Speaker 2: don't know whether New Zealand cricket and hindsight with which

1272
01:00:25,827 --> 01:00:28,187
Speaker 2: they had carried it on. I certainly wish they had

1273
01:00:28,987 --> 01:00:30,947
Speaker 2: and just kept it at the basin as well. Just

1274
01:00:30,987 --> 01:00:34,507
Speaker 2: as the Boxing Day Test and Australia is always at

1275
01:00:34,507 --> 01:00:37,307
Speaker 2: the MCG. Speaking of which, Australia have picked up a

1276
01:00:37,307 --> 01:00:41,347
Speaker 2: wicket Richard Pant caught by Nathan Lyon off the bowling

1277
01:00:41,587 --> 01:00:46,667
Speaker 2: of Scott Boland for twenty eight. India one ninety nine

1278
01:00:46,787 --> 01:00:49,707
Speaker 2: for six. They still trail by two hundred and seventy

1279
01:00:49,707 --> 01:00:53,627
Speaker 2: five runs. Out there in the middle Ravendra Jadasia He's

1280
01:00:53,667 --> 01:00:57,427
Speaker 2: on ten, joined by Natish Kumar Ready who is unbeaten

1281
01:00:57,507 --> 01:00:59,587
Speaker 2: on seven. So still a bit of work to do

1282
01:00:59,667 --> 01:01:01,987
Speaker 2: for India if they are to avoid the follow on

1283
01:01:02,347 --> 01:01:04,147
Speaker 2: in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG.

1284
01:01:05,427 --> 01:01:05,547
Speaker 1: Eight.

1285
01:01:05,627 --> 01:01:08,387
Speaker 2: Let's take a break, come back, we'll go domestic and

Speaker 2: up and running in the Dream eleven Super Smash men's competition.

1295
01:01:35,907 --> 01:01:38,867
Speaker 2: They've beaten Canterbury by ten runs in their opening match

1296
01:01:39,267 --> 01:01:43,307
Speaker 2: in Alexandra, posting one sixty five to nine before bowling

1297
01:01:43,307 --> 01:01:47,227
Speaker 2: Canterbury out for one fifty five. Otago captain Max Chew

1298
01:01:47,427 --> 01:01:50,147
Speaker 2: was the star of the show, belting eighty two in

1299
01:01:50,307 --> 01:01:52,147
Speaker 2: Otago's innings.

1300
01:01:54,467 --> 01:01:57,107
Speaker 15: And he's happy with the momentum because he smashed that

1301
01:01:57,147 --> 01:01:57,707
Speaker 15: out of the park.

1302
01:01:57,947 --> 01:01:59,987
Speaker 2: That's one of the biggest Well, that is the biggest

1303
01:02:00,067 --> 01:02:02,067
Speaker 2: hit of the day. Beautiful shot.

1304
01:02:02,227 --> 01:02:03,107
Speaker 20: As we tell you a learn this.

1305
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:07,107
Speaker 21: He's on one knee, bang and that has gone out

1306
01:02:07,187 --> 01:02:07,707
Speaker 21: of the ground.

1307
01:02:07,907 --> 01:02:10,307
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the big six is that Max to

1308
01:02:10,667 --> 01:02:13,347
Speaker 2: hit in Alexandria yesterday, He joins us. Now you've given

1309
01:02:13,387 --> 01:02:16,907
Speaker 2: it the overnight test, max Ow satisfying a win. Was

1310
01:02:16,947 --> 01:02:18,867
Speaker 2: that yesterday for the Otago vaults.

1311
01:02:19,867 --> 01:02:21,907
Speaker 22: Yeah, it's it's always good to get one of the

1312
01:02:23,027 --> 01:02:26,027
Speaker 22: Canterbury mate, And I think I think the good thing

1313
01:02:26,107 --> 01:02:26,947
Speaker 22: is we're probably.

1314
01:02:26,707 --> 01:02:27,707
Speaker 10: Still a little bit more in the tank.

1315
01:02:27,827 --> 01:02:28,587
Speaker 11: So no, it was.

1316
01:02:28,627 --> 01:02:30,867
Speaker 10: It was really good. And you know, the twenty twenty

1317
01:02:30,907 --> 01:02:33,787
Speaker 10: seasons sort of just it rolls around pretty quick.

1318
01:02:33,587 --> 01:02:35,627
Speaker 22: So I can get a bit of momentum going then

1319
01:02:36,467 --> 01:02:37,907
Speaker 22: then yeah, it stands in goodstead.

1320
01:02:38,427 --> 01:02:41,627
Speaker 2: So you're betting first before yesterday, your highest T twenty

1321
01:02:41,667 --> 01:02:44,427
Speaker 2: score thirty four not out yes mashed eighty two or

1322
01:02:44,507 --> 01:02:47,267
Speaker 2: forty six yesterday. How do you rate that among the

1323
01:02:47,267 --> 01:02:48,787
Speaker 2: innings you've played in any format.

1324
01:02:50,587 --> 01:02:52,787
Speaker 10: Yeah, I guess it's a bit different, mate. I guess

1325
01:02:52,867 --> 01:02:54,747
Speaker 10: my twenty.

1326
01:02:53,947 --> 01:02:56,907
Speaker 22: Career as you started probably betting. I think I was

1327
01:02:56,947 --> 01:02:58,787
Speaker 22: listed to my first game to beut at ten. So

1328
01:02:59,427 --> 01:03:01,107
Speaker 22: I've been around the I've been around the order a

1329
01:03:01,147 --> 01:03:03,467
Speaker 22: little bit. So now it was really good. It was

1330
01:03:03,507 --> 01:03:05,267
Speaker 22: it was called a performer in a white ball game.

1331
01:03:06,907 --> 01:03:09,507
Speaker 22: I've probably I've probably had a little bit more success

1332
01:03:09,547 --> 01:03:12,107
Speaker 22: in the Red Bull in comparison. So no, it's definitely

1333
01:03:12,147 --> 01:03:12,467
Speaker 22: up there.

1334
01:03:12,867 --> 01:03:15,467
Speaker 2: So sixty three for four, Leo Carter comes out to

1335
01:03:15,507 --> 01:03:18,387
Speaker 2: join you, you had sixty nine and just under nine overs.

1336
01:03:18,547 --> 01:03:20,667
Speaker 2: How important was that partnership through the middle of the

1337
01:03:20,707 --> 01:03:21,707
Speaker 2: Otago innings?

1338
01:03:22,827 --> 01:03:26,227
Speaker 22: It was as crucial Leo came out, and yeah, I

1339
01:03:26,267 --> 01:03:29,227
Speaker 22: think we were definitely highlighted in the sheds afterwards. But

1340
01:03:29,267 --> 01:03:33,467
Speaker 22: his innings was crucial for us keep the momentum going.

1341
01:03:33,827 --> 01:03:36,827
Speaker 22: And actually just he sort of he built his ownings

1342
01:03:36,867 --> 01:03:40,147
Speaker 22: really nicely without taking too much risk, and it was, Yeah,

1343
01:03:40,147 --> 01:03:40,387
Speaker 22: it was.

1344
01:03:40,427 --> 01:03:43,307
Speaker 10: It was a really intelligent and experienced I thinks he.

1345
01:03:43,667 --> 01:03:45,947
Speaker 2: Must have enjoyed it personally as well. He probably didn't

1346
01:03:45,947 --> 01:03:47,747
Speaker 2: say so, but against his former team.

1347
01:03:47,587 --> 01:03:48,227
Speaker 23: Was he was?

1348
01:03:48,227 --> 01:03:50,427
Speaker 2: He was a smile, a little bit wider last night.

1349
01:03:51,187 --> 01:03:54,947
Speaker 22: Yeah, Leo Larry could be pretty dry sometimes, but I

1350
01:03:54,947 --> 01:03:57,227
Speaker 22: think I think I think he definitely enjoyed getting one

1351
01:03:57,227 --> 01:03:57,747
Speaker 22: over his mates.

1352
01:03:57,907 --> 01:03:59,187
Speaker 2: So it's number three your position.

1353
01:03:59,267 --> 01:04:03,587
Speaker 22: Now, look without letting into two, see it, Jason, we're

1354
01:04:03,627 --> 01:04:07,547
Speaker 22: pretty fluid hit down down south. We've got a new

1355
01:04:07,587 --> 01:04:10,907
Speaker 22: coach actually Nofkiz who's brought over some pretty some pretty

1356
01:04:10,907 --> 01:04:13,467
Speaker 22: awesome ideas around some innovations.

1357
01:04:13,467 --> 01:04:14,027
Speaker 6: So who knows.

1358
01:04:14,427 --> 01:04:16,827
Speaker 2: So one sixty five at the endings break, did that

1359
01:04:16,947 --> 01:04:17,947
Speaker 2: feel like enough?

1360
01:04:20,067 --> 01:04:23,107
Speaker 22: Yeah? We've actually we use we use journalyst quite quite

1361
01:04:23,147 --> 01:04:24,947
Speaker 22: a lot, and one sixty five year was actually the

1362
01:04:24,987 --> 01:04:26,667
Speaker 22: average winning score at more than you, So we knew

1363
01:04:26,667 --> 01:04:28,947
Speaker 22: that if we bowled, if we bowled, well, we were

1364
01:04:28,947 --> 01:04:29,827
Speaker 22: definitely in one of the chance.

1365
01:04:30,267 --> 01:04:32,587
Speaker 2: So they were one hundred and eleven for four near

1366
01:04:32,627 --> 01:04:35,227
Speaker 2: the end of the fourteenth so probably on target. But

1367
01:04:35,307 --> 01:04:37,627
Speaker 2: then you get Koma Conchie out. Was that the key

1368
01:04:37,667 --> 01:04:38,347
Speaker 2: moment for you?

1369
01:04:39,587 --> 01:04:39,787
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1370
01:04:39,987 --> 01:04:42,467
Speaker 22: Definitely, I think I think they're obviously they are a

1371
01:04:42,507 --> 01:04:45,907
Speaker 22: top there are top order heavy betting line up, mate,

1372
01:04:47,147 --> 01:04:48,507
Speaker 22: and they obviously got off to a fly.

1373
01:04:48,587 --> 01:04:50,547
Speaker 10: I mean, you got some pretty quality players at the

1374
01:04:50,587 --> 01:04:53,387
Speaker 10: top of that order, but we knew that the.

1375
01:04:53,347 --> 01:04:55,827
Speaker 22: Spin would come into it, and I thought Lockrows and

1376
01:04:55,907 --> 01:05:00,067
Speaker 22: Foxcroft Bowld Bold extremely well and mean also I want

1377
01:05:00,067 --> 01:05:03,747
Speaker 22: to highlight Phillips Bold as four balls after Jake Gibson

1378
01:05:03,747 --> 01:05:07,027
Speaker 22: stood his webbing and I think only went for for two,

1379
01:05:07,787 --> 01:05:09,947
Speaker 22: so that was that was crucial for us.

1380
01:05:10,187 --> 01:05:13,947
Speaker 2: You enjoy the responsibility out there of of captaining the team,

1381
01:05:13,987 --> 01:05:16,667
Speaker 2: particularly in the bowling innings. Rotating the bowl is making

1382
01:05:16,707 --> 01:05:19,467
Speaker 2: sure that you know that you know one guy doesn't

1383
01:05:19,507 --> 01:05:21,027
Speaker 2: get taken to the cleaner. Is that sort of thing.

1384
01:05:21,067 --> 01:05:22,987

1385
01:05:23,467 --> 01:05:23,667
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1386
01:05:23,707 --> 01:05:26,907
Speaker 10: Absolutely, mate. I think you know, it's really unfortunate.

01:05:26,387 --> 01:05:31,467
Speaker 22: That that Luke's Luke's currently injured, but no, I guess

1388
01:05:31,507 --> 01:05:32,787
Speaker 22: I've sort of been around the leash of group the

1389
01:05:32,867 --> 01:05:34,747
Speaker 22: last few years in the vaults and it's not something

1390
01:05:34,787 --> 01:05:37,947
Speaker 22: that's that's too foreign to me, so so now I

1391
01:05:37,987 --> 01:05:38,987
Speaker 22: was pretty comfortable out there.

1392
01:05:39,107 --> 01:05:41,787

Speaker 2: Black Cap Are you aware of that noise?

1407
01:06:16,547 --> 01:06:17,787

1408
01:06:18,747 --> 01:06:20,947

01:06:25,947 --> 01:06:26,867
Speaker 22: win games for a Tiger.

1413
01:06:27,227 --> 01:06:28,747
Speaker 2: Are you ambitious though in that sense?

1414
01:06:29,827 --> 01:06:30,387
Speaker 10: Absolutely?

1415
01:06:30,387 --> 01:06:30,587

1417
01:06:31,747 --> 01:06:33,267
Speaker 22: I'd love to play cricket for the black Caps in

1418
01:06:33,307 --> 01:06:36,547
Speaker 22: all three formats. It's definitely a goal of mine. I'd

1419
01:06:36,547 --> 01:06:38,547
Speaker 22: love to play for as long as as long as possible.

1420
01:06:38,587 --> 01:06:42,747
Speaker 22: But I'm definitely conscious. But you know, you need a

1421
01:06:42,747 --> 01:06:45,627
Speaker 22: lot of performance of the domestic cricket ton that it.

1422
01:06:45,547 --> 01:06:47,467
Speaker 2: Looked hot out there yesterday. Man, was it hot?

1423
01:06:49,027 --> 01:06:49,227
Speaker 16: Yeah?

1424
01:06:49,267 --> 01:06:49,707
Speaker 6: I was sort of.

1425
01:06:49,747 --> 01:06:51,987
Speaker 22: I was sitting discussing it afterwards. I thought it was

1426
01:06:51,987 --> 01:06:54,707
Speaker 22: pretty hot. But then you know, Shas did say that

1427
01:06:54,747 --> 01:06:56,787
Speaker 22: the Gabba gets pretty hot. But I said, I'm not

1428
01:06:56,827 --> 01:06:57,747
Speaker 22: there yet, mate.

1429
01:06:59,187 --> 01:07:00,987
Speaker 2: I saw him interviewed on TV. He was talking about

1430
01:07:01,027 --> 01:07:03,707
Speaker 2: game from from Brisbane to Dunedin and the shock that

1431
01:07:03,787 --> 01:07:05,747
Speaker 2: had had there. But nah, man, Alex, I think I

1432
01:07:05,787 --> 01:07:08,107
Speaker 2: heard earlier today it's gonna be thirty two there today.

1433
01:07:08,147 --> 01:07:09,587
Speaker 2: You've got to have you got a training session to

1434
01:07:09,707 --> 01:07:12,387
Speaker 2: or something before you before your game tomorrow. Yep, there is.

1435
01:07:12,507 --> 01:07:13,907
Speaker 10: There's there's some training going on.

1436
01:07:14,387 --> 01:07:15,867
Speaker 22: A few of the boys really came to have a hurt,

1437
01:07:15,907 --> 01:07:17,427
Speaker 22: and I think there's some other guys who will just

1438
01:07:17,467 --> 01:07:19,187
Speaker 22: be staring care of the sun and just prepping up.

1439
01:07:19,147 --> 01:07:21,547
Speaker 10: The best we can for tomorrow only sort of.

1440
01:07:21,547 --> 01:07:23,627
Speaker 22: We've only got those two days often in between our

1441
01:07:23,627 --> 01:07:28,187
Speaker 22: three games. So staying on top of all the all

1442
01:07:28,227 --> 01:07:29,587
Speaker 22: the small stuff's important.

1443
01:07:29,307 --> 01:07:31,907
Speaker 2: Good stuff, and just finally on the T twenty competition.

1444
01:07:32,027 --> 01:07:34,067
Speaker 2: Is it a It's a format that games come thick

1445
01:07:34,067 --> 01:07:36,347
Speaker 2: and fast. Things can change within a couple of balls

1446
01:07:36,347 --> 01:07:39,747
Speaker 2: and any things. Is a format that you enjoy.

1447
01:07:40,347 --> 01:07:43,387
Speaker 22: I love twenty twenty cricket, mate, especially being able to

1448
01:07:43,387 --> 01:07:46,107
Speaker 22: play home. I mean we get aid great crowds at

1449
01:07:46,107 --> 01:07:48,587
Speaker 22: well in New Park and in zoned and just being

1450
01:07:48,587 --> 01:07:52,067
Speaker 22: able to play in front of families and stuff, and that's.

1451
01:07:51,907 --> 01:07:53,227
Speaker 10: A format that I definitely enjoy.

1452
01:07:53,467 --> 01:07:55,187
Speaker 2: Actually, I do want to ask you one more question.

1453
01:07:55,227 --> 01:07:56,987
Speaker 2: It's back to your runnings. We sort of glossed over

1454
01:07:57,067 --> 01:07:59,267
Speaker 2: a little bit. I mean it's a terrific knock man.

1455
01:07:59,307 --> 01:08:00,827
Speaker 2: You must be wrapped with with the way you were

1456
01:08:00,867 --> 01:08:01,787
Speaker 2: hitting the boys today.

1457
01:08:03,347 --> 01:08:05,347
Speaker 10: Yeah, thanks mate. I think I rode in my luck

1458
01:08:05,387 --> 01:08:07,787
Speaker 10: a little bit, gave a couple of chances in med but.

1459
01:08:08,467 --> 01:08:10,667
Speaker 22: Like you said, twenty twenty creek comes thick and fast

1460
01:08:11,867 --> 01:08:13,347
Speaker 22: and it was just trying to get us up to

1461
01:08:13,387 --> 01:08:14,747
Speaker 22: a score that we thought was competitive.

1462
01:08:14,987 --> 01:08:16,747
Speaker 2: Well, congrats mate, you're on the board. All the best

1463

1466
01:08:24,987 --> 01:08:28,107
Speaker 2: While Georgison recovers from injury doing a pretty good job

1467
01:08:28,147 --> 01:08:32,027
Speaker 2: though eighty two or forty six balls by far his

1468
01:08:32,227 --> 01:08:35,867
Speaker 2: highest T twenty score seven fours and three sixers in there,

1469
01:08:35,867 --> 01:08:38,987
Speaker 2: striking at nearly one eighty one sixty five for nine

1470
01:08:38,987 --> 01:08:41,267
Speaker 2: Otago Canibry all out one fifty five, and I thought

1471
01:08:41,307 --> 01:08:44,307
Speaker 2: Max Tu did a good job marshaling the Otago bowlers

1472
01:08:44,307 --> 01:08:46,427
Speaker 2: as well. So yeah, they're back in action tomorrow back

1473

Speaker 2: in Alexandra. They take on Auckland that's in both the

1482
01:09:16,267 --> 01:09:19,667
Speaker 2: think is a week today. Like I say, we don't

Speaker 2: really keep much track of the dates in the days

1484
01:09:22,347 --> 01:09:23,707
Speaker 2: at this time of the year, but I'm pretty sure

01:09:23,747 --> 01:09:27,347
Speaker 2: that next Saturday is the fourth of January. Saxton Overland

Speaker 21: end of the CAO in terms of the rankings events.

1535
01:11:53,267 --> 01:11:55,187
Speaker 21: But the main guy is the guy that's done ranked

1536
01:11:55,187 --> 01:11:57,307
Speaker 21: and hasn't played in a while. In Nick Curios, he's

1537
01:11:57,307 --> 01:12:00,227
Speaker 21: the fascinating part of everything. So yeah, he's in action.

1538
01:12:00,587 --> 01:12:03,187
Speaker 21: Apparently Novak and Nick is going to play doubles. I

1539
01:12:03,187 --> 01:12:05,627
Speaker 21: guess that gets confirmed this morning at the draw, so

1540
01:12:05,747 --> 01:12:09,107
Speaker 21: we yeah, we find out who plays who.

1541
01:12:09,107 --> 01:12:10,507
Speaker 6: But yeah, Curios is.

1542
01:12:10,467 --> 01:12:13,307
Speaker 21: The main guy, and yeah, he'll be the focal point

1543
01:12:13,387 --> 01:12:14,827
Speaker 21: I reckon for the next two weeks and the lead

1544
01:12:14,907 --> 01:12:16,187
Speaker 21: up to the Australian Open.

1545
01:12:16,347 --> 01:12:18,747
Speaker 2: So has he confirmed to play singles at the Australian Open.

1546
01:12:19,507 --> 01:12:20,627
Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1547
01:12:20,667 --> 01:12:24,347
Speaker 21: So he'll use what's called a protected ranking, so he's

1548
01:12:24,427 --> 01:12:26,227
Speaker 21: ranking when he went off tour. I'm not sure what

1549
01:12:26,227 --> 01:12:28,347
Speaker 21: it was, but it certainly enough to get inside the event.

1550
01:12:29,187 --> 01:12:33,387
Speaker 21: He can at his discretion news that about five times

1551
01:12:33,427 --> 01:12:35,387
Speaker 21: I think it is in various events, and he's going

1552
01:12:35,387 --> 01:12:36,387
Speaker 21: to use one of those to get in.

1553
01:12:36,427 --> 01:12:37,827
Speaker 10: He would have got a wild card anyway.

1554
01:12:38,747 --> 01:12:42,347
Speaker 21: But yeah, he's in. He's locked and loaded. Provided over

1555
01:12:42,347 --> 01:12:45,107
Speaker 21: the next two weeks and as it provided with Nick

1556
01:12:45,227 --> 01:12:46,187
Speaker 21: his body holds up.

1557
01:12:46,947 --> 01:12:50,947
Speaker 2: What and how do you assess his ability to keep

1558
01:12:50,987 --> 01:12:51,867
Speaker 2: his body together?

1559
01:12:54,267 --> 01:12:56,987
Speaker 21: I don't know he's had one in his professional career.

1560
01:12:57,027 --> 01:13:00,547
Speaker 21: I reckon he's had one great preseason where he's been

1561
01:13:00,587 --> 01:13:04,067
Speaker 21: able to get through at Nicel three, and yeah, around

1562
01:13:04,107 --> 01:13:07,707
Speaker 21: the pandemic, it was a bit how are you going

1563
01:13:08,027 --> 01:13:10,467
Speaker 21: with how everyone was preparing it, especially in this part

1564
01:13:10,507 --> 01:13:11,787
Speaker 21: of the world, because it was hard for players to

1565
01:13:11,827 --> 01:13:14,707
Speaker 21: get in and out. But I think the one year

1566
01:13:14,707 --> 01:13:16,827
Speaker 21: that he had a proper base set was the year

1567
01:13:16,827 --> 01:13:20,227
Speaker 21: that he made the Wimbledon final. So there's no secret

1568
01:13:20,227 --> 01:13:21,947
Speaker 21: in what he needs to do it whether or not

1569
01:13:21,987 --> 01:13:24,547
Speaker 21: he's able to do it. And the word is that

1570
01:13:24,587 --> 01:13:26,427
Speaker 21: he's been training well. Talking to a few guys that

1571
01:13:26,427 --> 01:13:28,587
Speaker 21: have hit with him, he's hitting the ball well. So

1572
01:13:28,627 --> 01:13:31,867
Speaker 21: whether or not he's got that base then that will

1573
01:13:31,907 --> 01:13:34,347
Speaker 21: carry him through not just this Australian summer, but maybe

1574
01:13:34,387 --> 01:13:35,667
Speaker 21: a bit of a run mid year as well.

1575
01:13:35,707 --> 01:13:36,347
Speaker 23: On the grass.

1576
01:13:36,427 --> 01:13:39,467
Speaker 2: All right, we'll watch with great interest there other Australian

1577
01:13:39,467 --> 01:13:44,667
Speaker 2: sporting matters around Sitting to Hobart yacht race dreadful news

1578
01:13:44,747 --> 01:13:49,067
Speaker 2: yesterday two fatalities. Twenty one of the one hundred and

1579
01:13:49,067 --> 01:13:52,187
Speaker 2: four yachts that started the race have now retired. Anything

1580
01:13:52,467 --> 01:13:54,547
Speaker 2: come to light around this in the last twelve hours

1581
01:13:54,627 --> 01:13:54,947
Speaker 2: or so.

1582
01:13:55,467 --> 01:14:00,827
Speaker 21: Yeah, it's horrible piney. So two have perished unfortunately, and

1583
01:14:00,867 --> 01:14:03,147
Speaker 21: another got swipt overboard and was lucky to get back

1584
01:14:03,187 --> 01:14:05,907
Speaker 21: on as well. So I think they hit a bit

1585
01:14:05,907 --> 01:14:09,667
Speaker 21: of weather about halfway down. The race is over at

1586
01:14:09,747 --> 01:14:13,147
Speaker 21: ended this morning law connects which the boat that was

1587
01:14:13,187 --> 01:14:15,027
Speaker 21: first out of the harbor. I think it got the

1588
01:14:15,027 --> 01:14:18,067
Speaker 21: Hobart first, But that's not the point. It's a pretty

1589
01:14:18,107 --> 01:14:20,107
Speaker 21: somber mood, I dare say down there in Hobart because

1590
01:14:20,107 --> 01:14:22,667
Speaker 21: it is a fraternity and these guys race against each

1591
01:14:22,707 --> 01:14:24,387
Speaker 21: other all the time through the year and this is

1592
01:14:24,427 --> 01:14:27,227
Speaker 21: their headline actor. They're sitting into Hobart and it's been

1593
01:14:27,227 --> 01:14:29,427
Speaker 21: a strange old summer weather wise, it's been either thinking

1594
01:14:29,467 --> 01:14:31,707
Speaker 21: hot or really windy. And I think they hit some

1595
01:14:32,187 --> 01:14:34,867
Speaker 21: hit some waves off the south coast of New South

1596
01:14:34,867 --> 01:14:38,947
Speaker 21: Wales on the first night, and yeah, one got thrown

1597
01:14:38,987 --> 01:14:42,387
Speaker 21: across his boat and hit a bit of equipment, and

1598
01:14:42,427 --> 01:14:45,187
Speaker 21: another the cop the blow to the back of the

1599
01:14:45,227 --> 01:14:47,387
Speaker 21: head when the sale went around, and another one.

1600
01:14:47,227 --> 01:14:49,107
Speaker 19: Got swept off but he survived.

1601
01:14:49,147 --> 01:14:51,747
Speaker 21: So yeah, it's just how would use Both those gentlemen

1602
01:14:51,747 --> 01:14:55,267
Speaker 21: who passed away were experienced sailors, so this is not

1603
01:14:55,387 --> 01:14:59,187
Speaker 21: likely a novelty crew which sometimes you see you get

1604
01:14:59,187 --> 01:15:00,947
Speaker 21: a bunch of celebrities and hop on board and then

1605
01:15:01,667 --> 01:15:03,107
Speaker 21: you know, make a name to yourself there.

1606
01:15:03,107 --> 01:15:04,667
Speaker 10: These guys are hard and salors.

1607
01:15:04,747 --> 01:15:06,747
Speaker 21: So just an absolute tragedy for both.

1608
01:15:06,867 --> 01:15:10,547
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely right. And finally to the Boxing day test.

1609
01:15:11,027 --> 01:15:13,987
Speaker 2: I'm still I still shake my head at what happened

1610
01:15:13,987 --> 01:15:16,387
Speaker 2: on the first morning and the Boxing day test. This

1611
01:15:16,507 --> 01:15:19,107
Speaker 2: young kid, this nineteen year old Sam Constance comes out

1612
01:15:19,187 --> 01:15:21,747
Speaker 2: and starts ramping. Just brit boomra.

1613
01:15:23,067 --> 01:15:25,027
Speaker 21: Gone on the day's pint in. And I don't know

1614
01:15:25,067 --> 01:15:26,907
Speaker 21: what it was like over there, but certainly in Australian

1615
01:15:26,907 --> 01:15:30,867
Speaker 21: cricket when a debutante came into the side, it wasn't

1616
01:15:30,907 --> 01:15:32,387
Speaker 21: as if they were told to sit in the corner

1617
01:15:32,387 --> 01:15:34,587
Speaker 21: and shut up and just blend in, but they were told,

1618
01:15:34,707 --> 01:15:38,107
Speaker 21: you know, there's a hierarchy here and we're just going

1619
01:15:38,147 --> 01:15:40,267
Speaker 21: to operate along those lines and you do what the

1620
01:15:40,307 --> 01:15:42,267
Speaker 21: captain says, and the captain's going to be stern and

1621
01:15:42,347 --> 01:15:45,507
Speaker 21: everything like that. But this kid on day one has

1622
01:15:45,507 --> 01:15:47,507
Speaker 21: come in and started ramping the best bowler in the

1623
01:15:47,507 --> 01:15:48,667
Speaker 21: world to get him off his line.

1624
01:15:48,747 --> 01:15:49,747
Speaker 16: And he's done it.

1625
01:15:49,907 --> 01:15:52,187
Speaker 21: He got austraight off to a great start and they

1626
01:15:52,587 --> 01:15:54,827
Speaker 21: put themselves in pole position to win the Test match

1627
01:15:54,867 --> 01:15:58,187
Speaker 21: because of Indiear's late claps yesterday. And then yesterday he

1628
01:15:58,267 --> 01:16:02,027
Speaker 21: goes down to Bay thirteen and he starts like starting

1629
01:16:02,067 --> 01:16:04,587
Speaker 21: an aerobics class down there and he's doing the Viking

1630
01:16:04,667 --> 01:16:07,387
Speaker 21: clap and he's like laughing with the crowd about the

1631
01:16:07,387 --> 01:16:10,067
Speaker 21: shoulder charge of Verrett Coley and dropping his shoulder and

1632
01:16:10,067 --> 01:16:10,667
Speaker 21: everything like that.

1633
01:16:11,707 --> 01:16:14,027
Speaker 6: Oh man, to be young again.

1634
01:16:14,107 --> 01:16:16,187
Speaker 16: He was fantastic.

1635
01:16:16,267 --> 01:16:18,187
Speaker 21: So I don't know where he goes from here, but

1636
01:16:18,747 --> 01:16:21,387
Speaker 21: he certainly made a name for himself in the first

1637
01:16:21,427 --> 01:16:23,147
Speaker 21: couple of days of his Test career.

1638
01:16:23,227 --> 01:16:25,427
Speaker 2: He had the fearlessness of youth, that's for sure. What

1639
01:16:26,307 --> 01:16:29,867
Speaker 2: has been the fallout from the from the Cohally shoulder.

1640
01:16:29,507 --> 01:16:33,747
Speaker 21: Charge, Yeah, not great for Vir. He's become public enemy

1641
01:16:33,827 --> 01:16:35,707
Speaker 21: number one at the MCG. I've given it to him

1642
01:16:36,027 --> 01:16:38,627
Speaker 21: and he walked off yesterday and someone said something to him.

1643
01:16:38,627 --> 01:16:41,427
Speaker 21: And it all started actually before the Test, when he

1644
01:16:41,987 --> 01:16:45,107
Speaker 21: got the ERTs with a journo apparently getting a shot

1645
01:16:45,107 --> 01:16:47,427
Speaker 21: of his family as they got off a plane when

1646
01:16:47,427 --> 01:16:48,547
Speaker 21: they traveled to Melbourne.

1647
01:16:49,107 --> 01:16:50,107
Speaker 19: Now I know the.

1648
01:16:50,067 --> 01:16:54,427
Speaker 21: Journal in question, and they swear that they weren't doing that,

1649
01:16:54,427 --> 01:16:58,027
Speaker 21: they were just getting a shot of him. But anyway,

1650
01:16:58,107 --> 01:17:00,107
Speaker 21: Vera blew up at that he's been on edge. He

1651
01:17:00,307 --> 01:17:03,547
Speaker 21: drops the shoulder into Sami constance. Everyone is amazed, but

1652
01:17:03,667 --> 01:17:06,227
Speaker 21: not to try it. Heck, can you say that everyone

1653
01:17:06,427 --> 01:17:09,027
Speaker 21: not surprised but shaking ahead a bit about the fact

1654
01:17:09,027 --> 01:17:11,987
Speaker 21: that he got off. Really, you know, twenty percent of

1655
01:17:12,027 --> 01:17:14,467
Speaker 21: his match fee, what's that to him? One demerit point

1656
01:17:14,547 --> 01:17:17,707
Speaker 21: doesn't put him over, so it doesn't miss a Test match. Yeah,

1657
01:17:17,707 --> 01:17:18,067
Speaker 21: it's on.

1658
01:17:18,027 --> 01:17:19,187
Speaker 6: The real lighter side.

1659
01:17:19,187 --> 01:17:21,347
Speaker 21: But it was thought of that that was going to

1660
01:17:21,347 --> 01:17:23,387
Speaker 21: be in the case because the match referee is Zimbabwe

1661
01:17:23,507 --> 01:17:26,427
Speaker 21: and match referee is known for his leniency in world cricket,

1662
01:17:26,547 --> 01:17:28,627
Speaker 21: so he got a good match referee. I think they're

1663
01:17:28,627 --> 01:17:31,627
Speaker 21: at And then Nathan Lyon has actually said it after

1664
01:17:31,667 --> 01:17:35,587
Speaker 21: players today, he basically decided to not run when JOSEPHLLD,

1665
01:17:35,587 --> 01:17:37,427
Speaker 21: the young opener, decided to scamp it through for a

1666
01:17:37,467 --> 01:17:40,907
Speaker 21: single jos Well run out and Nathan Lines come out

1667
01:17:40,947 --> 01:17:43,867
Speaker 21: and said he's absolutely The term is to barbecue someone

1668
01:17:43,867 --> 01:17:46,627
Speaker 21: in a runout like as in not running they get cooked.

1669
01:17:46,667 --> 01:17:49,867
Speaker 21: So Nathan Lines used that tag on Veraut to put

1670
01:17:49,867 --> 01:17:51,987
Speaker 21: a bit of pressure and uncertain it through the Indian

1671
01:17:52,067 --> 01:17:55,027
Speaker 21: dressing room. So hasn't gone to plan for Verat in Melbourne.

1672
01:17:54,627 --> 01:17:56,547
Speaker 2: Put it that way, No, I think that's a very

1673
01:17:56,547 --> 01:17:58,307
Speaker 2: good way of something it up. He has not covered

1674
01:17:58,387 --> 01:18:02,187
Speaker 2: himself in glory at the mcg great to catch up

1675
01:18:02,227 --> 01:18:04,347
Speaker 2: on Australian sporting matters and I'm hope you can find

1676
01:18:04,387 --> 01:18:06,907
Speaker 2: a bit of shade and some here condition in Brisbane.

1677
01:18:06,947 --> 01:18:08,187
Speaker 2: Let's catch up again next week.

01:18:19,787 --> 01:18:22,947
Speaker 2: action on and off the field across the Tasman on

01:18:23,027 --> 01:18:26,507
Speaker 2: the field India two hundred and fourteen for six so

1684
01:18:26,707 --> 01:18:30,827
Speaker 2: fairly sedate pace as they sort of eke away at

1685
01:18:30,867 --> 01:18:33,387
Speaker 2: this lead of Australia's their first point of business is

1686
01:18:33,427 --> 01:18:36,547
Speaker 2: getting within two hundred and avoiding the follow on one.

1687
01:18:36,627 --> 01:18:40,347
Speaker 2: Are they at the moment two hundred and sixty still behind?

1688
01:18:40,547 --> 01:18:44,827
Speaker 2: So you'd have to think that these two Jadasia and

1689
01:18:45,227 --> 01:18:49,107
Speaker 2: Ready would be the ones Washington Sunda, Jasper Boomra and

1690
01:18:49,187 --> 01:18:52,427
Speaker 2: Mohammad Saraj to come. They are in the team for

1691
01:18:52,467 --> 01:18:57,107
Speaker 2: their bowling. So yeah, these two, I have to imagine

1692
01:18:57,107 --> 01:19:00,467
Speaker 2: we'd have to knock off the remaining sixty one runs

1693
01:19:00,547 --> 01:19:02,907
Speaker 2: to avoid the follow on doing it okay. At the moment,

1694
01:19:03,467 --> 01:19:07,547
Speaker 2: with about forty minutes to go until lunch time, the

1743
01:21:56,307 --> 01:22:00,827
Speaker 2: a starting debut for young Kiwi Corbyn Piper. He's going

1744
01:22:00,827 --> 01:22:01,987
Speaker 2: to have a chat to us and we'll get the

1745
01:22:02,027 --> 01:22:05,107
Speaker 2: thoughts of Auckland f C coach Steve Coricker as well

1746
01:22:05,107 --> 01:22:07,547
Speaker 2: off the back of their first feet not only of

1747
01:22:07,627 --> 01:22:10,187
Speaker 2: the season but of their lives after such a good

1748
01:22:10,227 --> 01:22:13,867
Speaker 2: start a for nil hiding by Western United last weekend,

1749
01:22:13,987 --> 01:22:16,227

1769
01:23:14,267 --> 01:23:17,467
Speaker 2: four all out. It was going pretty well for India yesterday.

1770
01:23:17,467 --> 01:23:21,427
Speaker 2: A one hundred and two run stand between Yashushfi, Jace

1829

01:27:47,467 --> 01:27:50,107
Speaker 17: It's definitely thought about building that one in tum and

1838
01:27:50,907 --> 01:27:52,267
Speaker 17: how we want to continue to do that.

1839
01:27:52,347 --> 01:27:54,787
Speaker 8: And I think although those were two games, I thought

1840
01:27:54,827 --> 01:27:56,987
Speaker 8: you actually played some good football, and I.

1841
01:27:56,907 --> 01:27:59,027
Speaker 24: Think the performances were there were you're slacking and those

1842
01:27:59,067 --> 01:28:00,667
Speaker 24: you know file bit of quality moments.

1843
01:28:00,667 --> 01:28:02,427
Speaker 8: So I think, you know, these classball.

1844
01:28:02,027 --> 01:28:04,827
Speaker 17: Game has definitely improved, and the squad's growing and the

1845
01:28:04,867 --> 01:28:05,947
Speaker 17: debts growing in the squad.

1846
01:28:06,547 --> 01:28:09,147
Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, good good things for you know kind of

1847
01:28:09,187 --> 01:28:10,067
Speaker 8: ruing and people are.

1848
01:28:09,947 --> 01:28:13,027
Speaker 17: Getting into form and fitness and things like that. So, yeah,

1849
01:28:13,027 --> 01:28:15,787
Speaker 17: the teams jelling well together and yeah, looking barter. Two

1850
01:28:15,787 --> 01:28:16,787
Speaker 17: more games coming ahead.

1851
01:28:17,027 --> 01:28:20,147
Speaker 2: So last weekend two nil over Sydney FC, but the

1852
01:28:20,147 --> 01:28:22,907
Speaker 2: game took a bit longer than usual with a break

1853
01:28:23,427 --> 01:28:26,507
Speaker 2: for the threat of lightning strikes. Have you ever had

1854
01:28:26,787 --> 01:28:30,107
Speaker 2: a match interrupted by the threat of lightning before?

1855
01:28:31,587 --> 01:28:31,787
Speaker 6: I have.

1856
01:28:31,987 --> 01:28:37,027
Speaker 17: Actually it was a World Cup match against Canada in

1857
01:28:37,107 --> 01:28:40,947
Speaker 17: an opening group game against fellow old coach John Hoodman,

1858
01:28:41,027 --> 01:28:43,707
Speaker 17: and we actually battled the.

1859
01:28:43,667 --> 01:28:44,787
Speaker 8: First wing minutes of the game.

1860
01:28:44,827 --> 01:28:47,787
Speaker 17: We're struggling and down and we went to the chess

1861
01:28:47,787 --> 01:28:49,307
Speaker 17: and it probably did us a bit of a favor

1862
01:28:49,347 --> 01:28:51,627
Speaker 17: and we come back out and we managed to scrap

1863
01:28:51,667 --> 01:28:52,707
Speaker 17: a draw out of that game.

1864
01:28:52,787 --> 01:28:54,587
Speaker 8: So it was a similar feeling when we went into

1865
01:28:54,587 --> 01:28:54,907
Speaker 8: the gym.

1866
01:28:55,347 --> 01:28:57,867
Speaker 17: I think we were getting better than that third staff

1867
01:28:57,907 --> 01:29:00,267
Speaker 17: against the theft. We were struggling to buying any energy,

1868
01:29:00,427 --> 01:29:02,667
Speaker 17: all kind of shimming passes and hang.

1869
01:29:02,467 --> 01:29:05,347
Speaker 8: On with a few scary moments, and yeah, I think

1870
01:29:05,387 --> 01:29:07,467
Speaker 8: that the the weather.

1871
01:29:07,427 --> 01:29:10,027
Speaker 17: Probably listen to our favor or able to reset and

1872
01:29:10,227 --> 01:29:11,987
Speaker 17: kind of refocus and come out and I think that

1873
01:29:12,107 --> 01:29:14,147
Speaker 17: you can product now.

1874
01:29:14,387 --> 01:29:17,267
Speaker 2: I heard your coach Paul Temple afterwards say that during

1875
01:29:17,307 --> 01:29:19,427
Speaker 2: that break, which was about forty five minutes. You just

1876
01:29:19,547 --> 01:29:22,947
Speaker 2: watched the first half back basically in order to work out,

1877
01:29:22,987 --> 01:29:25,187
Speaker 2: you know, what had been not quite going as well

1878
01:29:25,227 --> 01:29:26,987
Speaker 2: as you would have hoped and to be able to

1879
01:29:27,027 --> 01:29:29,187
Speaker 2: make some tweaks for the second half. Is that basically

1880
01:29:29,227 --> 01:29:30,947
Speaker 2: what happened in the in the sheds at halftime.

1881
01:29:31,987 --> 01:29:33,867
Speaker 17: Yeah, we had a couple of that top stuff and

1882
01:29:34,107 --> 01:29:36,347
Speaker 17: those that wanted to watch some footage or you see

1883
01:29:36,347 --> 01:29:39,507
Speaker 17: any clips specific you know what could help us were

1884
01:29:39,547 --> 01:29:42,267
Speaker 17: sitting down and looking at those, and yeah, there was

1885
01:29:42,387 --> 01:29:44,587
Speaker 17: a mixture of things going on, but yeah, it was

1886
01:29:44,627 --> 01:29:46,667
Speaker 17: all about kind of trying to reset the mind and

1887
01:29:47,267 --> 01:29:48,827
Speaker 17: make sure the body was ready to go and.

1888
01:29:48,747 --> 01:29:51,107
Speaker 24: Refocus to step that out and put in a much

1889
01:29:51,347 --> 01:29:52,987
Speaker 24: improved performance in that second half.

1890
01:29:53,227 --> 01:29:56,227
Speaker 2: All right, So Melbourne City up next tonight, top of

1891
01:29:56,227 --> 01:30:00,027
Speaker 2: the league, unbeaten at home for them, they've scored twenty

1892
01:30:00,107 --> 01:30:03,507
Speaker 2: goals in their seven games. So given all of that

1893
01:30:04,067 --> 01:30:07,907
Speaker 2: has been defensively sound been a big focus ahead of

1894
01:30:07,947 --> 01:30:09,147
Speaker 2: this one.

1895
01:30:09,547 --> 01:30:13,147
Speaker 17: Yeah, and we have we we don't really consider, you know,

1896
01:30:13,467 --> 01:30:17,147
Speaker 17: fully goals or goals that you know are easy for

1897
01:30:17,107 --> 01:30:17,987
Speaker 17: the teams becore.

1898
01:30:18,107 --> 01:30:22,187
Speaker 24: So yeah, compacts and defensively strong is always you know,

1899
01:30:22,387 --> 01:30:25,307
Speaker 24: we always cleensic one game, so we want to go

1900
01:30:25,307 --> 01:30:27,147
Speaker 24: out and defense would be strong.

1901
01:30:27,227 --> 01:30:30,027
Speaker 8: But in saying that, we know we can't then.

1902
01:30:29,787 --> 01:30:32,827
Speaker 17: So yeah, we're going to try and go out them

1903
01:30:32,867 --> 01:30:36,547
Speaker 17: and all to play for I think is obviously against

1904
01:30:36,547 --> 01:30:38,387
Speaker 17: the quality size in the last four games. We want

1905
01:30:38,427 --> 01:30:41,147
Speaker 17: to continue that and you know, then we take it

1906
01:30:41,147 --> 01:30:42,907
Speaker 17: to a really good city side and.

1907
01:30:42,907 --> 01:30:45,107
Speaker 2: Leading the line from Melbourne City is one of your

1908
01:30:45,147 --> 01:30:48,307
Speaker 2: former teammates, mawn A Spectm now wearing the sky blue

1909
01:30:48,347 --> 01:30:51,547
Speaker 2: of Melbourne City, but you know a bit about it

1910
01:30:51,587 --> 01:30:54,707
Speaker 2: having been a teammate last year. Just having some inside

1911
01:30:54,747 --> 01:30:58,467
Speaker 2: information on her help you to nullify the specific threat

1912
01:30:58,467 --> 01:30:59,307
Speaker 2: that she'll bring tonight.

1913
01:31:00,547 --> 01:31:03,187
Speaker 17: Yes he's a quality player, but yeah, definitely we know

1914
01:31:03,227 --> 01:31:06,587
Speaker 17: a lot about her and a lot about the city side.

1915
01:31:06,507 --> 01:31:08,947
Speaker 17: They play style football that they don't kind of shy

1916
01:31:09,467 --> 01:31:12,387
Speaker 17: away from, and they sit to it even when potentially

1917
01:31:12,467 --> 01:31:14,267
Speaker 17: they're getting.

1918
01:31:14,027 --> 01:31:17,947
Speaker 8: Pressed or you know, in tough parts of the game.

1919
01:31:18,067 --> 01:31:21,107
Speaker 17: So I think I think we can stand up and

1920
01:31:21,187 --> 01:31:22,187
Speaker 17: be strong and go.

1921
01:31:22,227 --> 01:31:24,187
Speaker 8: At them, then I can differently cause them to hold on.

1922
01:31:24,427 --> 01:31:27,147
Speaker 17: So hearing a lot about City and the way they

1923
01:31:27,267 --> 01:31:30,427
Speaker 17: like to play, and I think sometimes you can go

1924
01:31:30,467 --> 01:31:31,667
Speaker 17: out and cause a.

1925
01:31:31,667 --> 01:31:32,747
Speaker 8: Bit of an outset m I thing.

1926
01:31:33,227 --> 01:31:34,987
Speaker 2: So you seem that things sort of out at the

1927
01:31:34,987 --> 01:31:38,507
Speaker 2: defensive end, Annalee, with just the four goals conceded in

1928
01:31:38,547 --> 01:31:40,827
Speaker 2: the last six games. At the other end, though you've

1929
01:31:40,827 --> 01:31:44,427
Speaker 2: scored just eight and eight games this season, is having

1930
01:31:45,147 --> 01:31:47,387
Speaker 2: a better cutting edge scoring more goals? Is that a

1931
01:31:47,387 --> 01:31:48,347
Speaker 2: bit of a work on for you?

1932
01:31:50,067 --> 01:31:50,627
Speaker 8: Absolutely?

1933
01:31:50,667 --> 01:31:53,067
Speaker 24: I think, of course we'd like to win games by

1934
01:31:53,107 --> 01:31:54,467
Speaker 24: more and make them more comfortable.

1935
01:31:55,507 --> 01:31:57,267
Speaker 8: But I think what I have liked is you've seen

1936
01:31:57,307 --> 01:31:58,867
Speaker 8: a range of scorers around the squad.

1937
01:31:58,907 --> 01:32:01,227
Speaker 17: I think it's probably eight goals and almost seven or

1938
01:32:01,227 --> 01:32:04,267
Speaker 17: eight different scorers as well, and that was a good

1939
01:32:04,307 --> 01:32:05,907
Speaker 17: sign that a lot of people are scoring and they're

1940
01:32:05,907 --> 01:32:07,627
Speaker 17: not really relying on that one person.

1941
01:32:07,747 --> 01:32:09,507
Speaker 8: But yeah, of course we would like to score more

1942
01:32:09,547 --> 01:32:12,307
Speaker 8: goals and create more. I think over the last four

1943
01:32:12,347 --> 01:32:14,467
Speaker 8: games you see us create a lot more chances and

1944
01:32:14,507 --> 01:32:15,867
Speaker 8: get into the box a lot more.

1945
01:32:16,307 --> 01:32:18,107
Speaker 17: We just want to continue to do that and obviously

1946
01:32:19,027 --> 01:32:22,427
Speaker 17: get more shots on target is key, and as we've

1947
01:32:22,427 --> 01:32:24,667
Speaker 17: seen in the last two weeks, if you don't shoot,

1948
01:32:24,667 --> 01:32:26,467
Speaker 17: you don't score. And I think we've probably been a

1949
01:32:26,467 --> 01:32:29,187
Speaker 17: little bit luckier. I've picked up a couple that say

1950
01:32:29,267 --> 01:32:31,147
Speaker 17: you're a little bit lucky, but that's cut.

1951
01:32:31,187 --> 01:32:32,707
Speaker 8: If you don't shoot, you don't score. And so I'm

1952
01:32:32,707 --> 01:32:34,027
Speaker 8: going to take that motel into the game.

1953
01:32:34,627 --> 01:32:36,507
Speaker 2: And the nature of the A League, both the men's

1954
01:32:36,507 --> 01:32:39,107
Speaker 2: and the women's competition is the squads tend to turn

1955
01:32:39,187 --> 01:32:43,587
Speaker 2: over season after season. Your you know, lose players, you

1956
01:32:43,707 --> 01:32:47,227
Speaker 2: gain players. But you've got five new imports at Wellington

1957
01:32:47,267 --> 01:32:53,307
Speaker 2: Phoenix this season, Carolinavillau, Maya McCutcheon, Olivia Ferguson, Olivia Kelly

1958
01:32:53,387 --> 01:32:57,187
Speaker 2: and Maba Tanaka. How have you gone about assimilating them

1959
01:32:57,227 --> 01:32:59,067
Speaker 2: into your team and how have they filed in?

1960
01:33:00,027 --> 01:33:01,347
Speaker 8: Yeah, they'd been excellent so far.

1961
01:33:01,427 --> 01:33:03,707
Speaker 17: They've come in and I think they're.

1962
01:33:03,507 --> 01:33:07,107
Speaker 8: Really enjoying your time here in New Zealand. And yeah's

1963
01:33:07,107 --> 01:33:08,387
Speaker 8: aught about ding those tections.

1964
01:33:08,427 --> 01:33:10,347
Speaker 17: I think you've obviously seen the quality that.

1965
01:33:10,307 --> 01:33:12,187
Speaker 24: They bring out on the field, and it's just making

1966
01:33:12,187 --> 01:33:14,507
Speaker 24: them feel welcoming at home and comfortable.

1967
01:33:14,547 --> 01:33:15,267
Speaker 8: And I think when.

1968
01:33:15,107 --> 01:33:17,267
Speaker 17: People feel like they have field values that they before

1969
01:33:17,387 --> 01:33:17,827
Speaker 17: their best.

1970
01:33:17,867 --> 01:33:20,347
Speaker 8: So yeah, i think they've all been the outstanding so far.

1971
01:33:20,467 --> 01:33:22,907
Speaker 17: And yeah, she was a board to seeing them grow

1972
01:33:22,947 --> 01:33:25,867
Speaker 17: throughout the season, and in fact that can bring.

1973
01:33:25,747 --> 01:33:27,707
Speaker 2: It all this And can I ask you about a

1974
01:33:27,747 --> 01:33:30,347
Speaker 2: young Kibi player who plays in a similar position to

1975
01:33:30,387 --> 01:33:33,507
Speaker 2: you in midfield, and that's Daisy brazen Dale. She's featured

1976
01:33:33,507 --> 01:33:35,787
Speaker 2: on every game this season, some from the start, some

1977
01:33:35,947 --> 01:33:38,707
Speaker 2: off the bench. How do you assess her development as

1978
01:33:38,707 --> 01:33:41,627
Speaker 2: one of the younger players and what her possible ceiling

1979
01:33:41,707 --> 01:33:42,067
Speaker 2: might be.

1980
01:33:43,427 --> 01:33:46,627
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think David's really grind. She's really impressed me.

1981
01:33:47,227 --> 01:33:49,867
Speaker 17: Her growth from last season to this season has been immense,

1982
01:33:50,307 --> 01:33:52,187
Speaker 17: both on the field and mentally off the field.

1983
01:33:52,267 --> 01:33:56,107
Speaker 8: So yes, he's exciting. I think she played that out

1984
01:33:56,107 --> 01:33:57,067
Speaker 8: and out sixth role.

1985
01:33:57,827 --> 01:34:00,107
Speaker 17: She's defensively within the right positions.

1986
01:33:59,627 --> 01:34:00,947
Speaker 8: And she gets you know, she does a lot of

1987
01:34:00,947 --> 01:34:02,987
Speaker 8: work and gets around there the pitch. But when she's

1988
01:34:03,027 --> 01:34:03,747
Speaker 8: on the board, I think.

1989
01:34:03,587 --> 01:34:07,507
Speaker 24: He's come and she's clean with her passes and yeah,

1990
01:34:07,547 --> 01:34:09,427
Speaker 24: I think just the growth from the last season to

1991
01:34:09,507 --> 01:34:10,547
Speaker 24: the season has been a mess.

1992
01:34:10,987 --> 01:34:13,987
Speaker 8: Yeah, we can continue that in her development. I'm sure

1993
01:34:14,027 --> 01:34:16,907
Speaker 8: you'll seen more and more game time for her and

1994
01:34:17,067 --> 01:34:18,387
Speaker 8: really kind of cementing the spot.

1995
01:34:19,147 --> 01:34:20,867
Speaker 2: And I know you're only focusing on the A League

1996
01:34:20,867 --> 01:34:23,227
Speaker 2: at the moment, but we saw you in the football

1997
01:34:23,227 --> 01:34:26,307
Speaker 2: Fern shirt at the Olympics earlier this year. One hundred

1998
01:34:26,707 --> 01:34:29,827
Speaker 2: and thirty six caps for you now, Annaleah is there

1999
01:34:29,907 --> 01:34:32,947
Speaker 2: is there more to come from you at international level?

2000
01:34:34,347 --> 01:34:37,027
Speaker 24: Yeah, and I'm sure at the moment where obviously I'm

2001
01:34:37,067 --> 01:34:40,747
Speaker 24: sure what's got intim coach of Michael Mayne and yeah,

2002
01:34:40,787 --> 01:34:44,027
Speaker 24: not to be sure that the next steps, so yeah,

2003
01:34:44,187 --> 01:34:46,787
Speaker 24: taking kind of one day to time and then yeah,

2004
01:34:46,827 --> 01:34:49,667
Speaker 24: hopefully continuing to put performance into for the Phoenix and

2005
01:34:49,907 --> 01:34:51,107
Speaker 24: see what happens in February.

2006
01:34:51,267 --> 01:34:54,387
Speaker 2: All right, well we'll wait and see on that. In

2007
01:34:54,427 --> 01:34:56,747
Speaker 2: the meantime, all the best tonight against Melbourne City. Annaly

2008
01:34:56,987 --> 01:34:58,587
Speaker 2: to you on the team, Thanks for joining us. That's

2009
01:34:58,747 --> 01:35:01,707
Speaker 2: Annale longer captain of the Wellington Phoenix woman's side. She's

2010
01:35:01,747 --> 01:35:04,827
Speaker 2: been terrific, a big part of why they've been so

2011
01:35:04,947 --> 01:35:08,667
Speaker 2: good in recent times. Tonight Melbourne City seven o'clock. That's

2012
01:35:08,867 --> 01:35:13,387
Speaker 2: New Zealand time. They play over in Melbourne at Casey Fields.

2013
01:35:13,947 --> 01:35:15,667
Speaker 2: Already a couple of games in this round of the

2014
01:35:15,707 --> 01:35:18,507
Speaker 2: A League Women's competition. Last night Adelaide one nil winners

2015
01:35:18,787 --> 01:35:20,947
Speaker 2: over the Western Sydney Wanderers. Central Coast Marion is one

2016
01:35:21,067 --> 01:35:23,587
Speaker 2: nil winners over Perth Glory. Melbourne City are a good

2017
01:35:23,587 --> 01:35:26,907
Speaker 2: side five wins and two draws from their seven games.

2018
01:35:26,947 --> 01:35:30,187
Speaker 2: As I mentioned to anally during that chat, twenty goals

2019
01:35:30,227 --> 01:35:32,667
Speaker 2: they've scored so far, so it'll take a good defensive

2020
01:35:32,667 --> 01:35:35,507
Speaker 2: effort from the Phoenix women, although they've shown in the

2021
01:35:35,547 --> 01:35:38,147
Speaker 2: last four games that they're well and truly up to that.

2022
01:35:38,667 --> 01:35:41,547
Speaker 2: Just four goals conceded in six games, which is I'm

2023
01:35:41,547 --> 01:35:45,467
Speaker 2: sure very pleasing to coach Paul Temple to twenty two.

2024
01:35:45,627 --> 01:35:47,147
Speaker 2: We'll take a break when we come back. We'll shift

2025

2027
01:35:54,947 --> 01:35:57,427
Speaker 2: Auckland FC, who are up against the Central Coast Mariners.

2028
01:35:57,507 --> 01:35:59,427
Speaker 2: We'll get you inside both camps when we come back

2039
01:36:29,027 --> 01:36:33,787
Speaker 20: You shooting from everywhere at the moment West at Sydney circluda.

2040
01:36:33,867 --> 01:36:37,587
Speaker 4: A lot of strike off the trasper. It's under the

2041
01:36:37,667 --> 01:36:40,547
Speaker 4: line now and you could not ask for a.

2042
01:36:40,507 --> 01:36:42,347
Speaker 7: Better way to score your first goal.

2043
01:36:42,747 --> 01:36:44,787
Speaker 2: And what an exclamation though.

2044
01:36:45,267 --> 01:36:47,947
Speaker 7: For Western Sydney to finish this one here.

2045
01:36:47,987 --> 01:36:50,427
Speaker 2: That was the Western Sydney Wanderers beating the Phoenix four

2046
01:36:50,467 --> 01:36:53,867
Speaker 2: to one last Sunday back home, as I say, against

2047
01:36:53,907 --> 01:36:56,027
Speaker 2: the Newcastle Jets. One of the new faces in the

2048
01:36:56,067 --> 01:37:00,187
Speaker 2: Phoenix squad this season is young Kiwi utility Corbyn Piper,

2049
01:37:00,227 --> 01:37:03,347
Speaker 2: who actually made his starting debut for the side last

2050
01:37:03,347 --> 01:37:06,867
Speaker 2: weekend in that loss at Western Sydney. He joins us now, cool,

2051
01:37:06,907 --> 01:37:09,307
Speaker 2: but thanks for your time Apart from the result obviously,

2052
01:37:10,107 --> 01:37:13,707
Speaker 2: how happy were you with getting your starting debut and

2053
01:37:13,707 --> 01:37:17,907
Speaker 2: how you went on starting debut. Look, I was.

2054
01:37:17,867 --> 01:37:20,307
Speaker 6: Buzzing, to be fair like, as soon as I found

2055
01:37:20,347 --> 01:37:22,867
Speaker 6: out that I was starting, I was just yeah, I

2056
01:37:22,867 --> 01:37:24,867
Speaker 6: couldn't get the smile off my face, to be honest,

2057
01:37:25,987 --> 01:37:28,267
Speaker 6: and even more happy to get a full ninety minutes.

2058
01:37:29,027 --> 01:37:31,387
Speaker 2: You had forty five minutes off the bench against Melbourne

2059
01:37:31,467 --> 01:37:34,707
Speaker 2: victory in late November. Was that helpful in getting you

2060
01:37:34,827 --> 01:37:36,507
Speaker 2: used to the level of the A League?

2061
01:37:37,907 --> 01:37:41,107
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was. Actually after that I felt a lot

2062
01:37:41,147 --> 01:37:45,387
Speaker 6: more comfortable in actually being on the pitch and patiently

2063
01:37:45,387 --> 01:37:48,067
Speaker 6: waiting for another chance than there I was at Western

2064
01:37:48,107 --> 01:37:50,827
Speaker 6: Sydney getting my second chance to play, So yeah, I

2065
01:37:50,867 --> 01:37:51,587
Speaker 6: was to like it.

2066
01:37:52,227 --> 01:37:54,947
Speaker 2: How big a step up in standard have you found

2067
01:37:54,987 --> 01:37:58,187
Speaker 2: the A League to be from what you've been playing previously?

2068
01:38:00,547 --> 01:38:02,747
Speaker 6: Quite a big step up, to be honest. When I

2069
01:38:02,787 --> 01:38:06,667
Speaker 6: was over in Ireland it was more physical and not

2070
01:38:06,787 --> 01:38:10,947
Speaker 6: so technical as their league, but they leaves yeah by far,

2071
01:38:11,947 --> 01:38:16,667
Speaker 6: so much more superior, much faster. You have a lot

2072
01:38:16,747 --> 01:38:18,867
Speaker 6: less time on the ball, and.

2073
01:38:19,067 --> 01:38:22,187
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you feel like you're able to quickly adjust

2074
01:38:22,227 --> 01:38:25,467
Speaker 2: to that? Though I look at it from what I saw,

2075
01:38:25,587 --> 01:38:29,107
Speaker 2: it didn't look like you were rushed or hurried necessarily.

2076
01:38:29,147 --> 01:38:32,027
Speaker 2: Did you feel like you got used to the pace

2077
01:38:32,067 --> 01:38:32,987
Speaker 2: of the game pretty quickly?

2078
01:38:34,147 --> 01:38:38,587
Speaker 6: Yeah? I mean that's what I believe Cheetie wanted to

2079
01:38:38,627 --> 01:38:41,627
Speaker 6: do is bring me in and sort of give me

2080
01:38:42,187 --> 01:38:45,627
Speaker 6: two to three months training with the boys and getting

2081
01:38:45,667 --> 01:38:48,027
Speaker 6: used to the level. Because originally I came in here

2082
01:38:50,107 --> 01:38:53,907
Speaker 6: and I wasn't so technically good. But after training here

2083
01:38:54,387 --> 01:38:57,387
Speaker 6: for just two or three months already, I found that

2084
01:38:57,467 --> 01:39:00,307
Speaker 6: I've improved a lot already and it's helped me be

2085
01:39:00,387 --> 01:39:01,467
Speaker 6: more confident on the field.

2086
01:39:01,547 --> 01:39:04,267
Speaker 2: So, yeah, when you assigned and in the time since

2087
01:39:04,307 --> 01:39:08,027
Speaker 2: your versatility has been talked about out a lot, can

2088
01:39:08,067 --> 01:39:10,307
Speaker 2: you tell us the position you've played most often?

2089
01:39:13,587 --> 01:39:17,387
Speaker 6: Actually, I can't actually answer that, to be honest, I

2090
01:39:18,587 --> 01:39:21,307
Speaker 6: actually I have no idea. Really, I get so on

2091
01:39:21,347 --> 01:39:23,547
Speaker 6: anywhere in training and I'm just happy to be there

2092
01:39:23,547 --> 01:39:26,027
Speaker 6: and playing like they can put me on anywhere, and

2093
01:39:26,267 --> 01:39:28,147
Speaker 6: like I said, yeah, just happy to be on the pitch.

2094
01:39:28,867 --> 01:39:30,707
Speaker 2: I know you played in a sort of a ten

2095
01:39:30,827 --> 01:39:35,307
Speaker 2: role for Birkenhead, so you know right in the guts

2096
01:39:35,307 --> 01:39:39,027
Speaker 2: of midfield, has that you know, playing in a position

2097
01:39:39,147 --> 01:39:41,147
Speaker 2: like that where you do need to be technically pretty

2098
01:39:41,147 --> 01:39:44,187
Speaker 2: good around three hundred and sixty degrees? Is that helpful

2099
01:39:44,187 --> 01:39:47,107
Speaker 2: when you've played because mostly for the Phoenix you've played

2100
01:39:47,307 --> 01:39:50,107
Speaker 2: in defensive positions where everything's in front of you. Has

2101
01:39:50,147 --> 01:39:52,067
Speaker 2: the ability to play three sixty degrees help that?

2102
01:39:53,427 --> 01:39:56,547
Speaker 6: Yeah? Definitely, one hundred percent. Yeah. I believe though, because

2103
01:39:56,867 --> 01:40:00,027
Speaker 6: when I'm in type situations I need to get out of,

2104
01:40:00,107 --> 01:40:03,347
Speaker 6: I kind of I have the confidence that actually take

2105
01:40:03,387 --> 01:40:06,827
Speaker 6: a man on and go go myself rather than passing

2106
01:40:06,867 --> 01:40:10,347
Speaker 6: back or something like that. But yeah, it's definitely been

2107
01:40:10,387 --> 01:40:15,307
Speaker 6: a big help. But no mistakes in the defense line. Unfortunately,

2108
01:40:15,347 --> 01:40:17,307
Speaker 6: I can make a mistake higher up the field as

2109
01:40:17,307 --> 01:40:20,427
Speaker 6: a ten. But yeah, no room for areas are cine.

2110
01:40:20,227 --> 01:40:24,627
Speaker 2: Back is center back, somewhere you feel comfortable though. Does

2111
01:40:24,667 --> 01:40:26,987
Speaker 2: it feel like a place where you could have a

2112
01:40:27,067 --> 01:40:30,107
Speaker 2: natural home, at least in the short term for Wellington Phoenix.

2113
01:40:31,227 --> 01:40:34,227
Speaker 6: Yeah, of course. Yeah, Like I said, I'll play anyway.

2114
01:40:34,267 --> 01:40:37,987
Speaker 6: I enjoy playing cine back, making big tackles, all this

2115
01:40:38,067 --> 01:40:41,067
Speaker 6: and that, but I also really enjoy being higher up

2116
01:40:41,107 --> 01:40:44,267
Speaker 6: the field, so I don't really mind. But yeah, wherever

2117
01:40:44,307 --> 01:40:46,707
Speaker 6: there's a spot on the pitch for me, I'll play.

2118
01:40:46,987 --> 01:40:50,067
Speaker 2: And alongside you in central defense on the weekend. Scott Wooton,

2119
01:40:50,067 --> 01:40:51,707
Speaker 2: who of course has been around for a long time,

2120
01:40:51,747 --> 01:40:54,587
Speaker 2: one of the more experienced players going around the A League.

2121
01:40:54,587 --> 01:40:55,867
Speaker 2: How much of a help was he for you?

2122
01:40:57,227 --> 01:40:59,787
Speaker 6: I he's great. Like just being paired with him, I

2123
01:40:59,867 --> 01:41:03,187
Speaker 6: already feel ten times more confidence and comfortable on the ball.

2124
01:41:04,507 --> 01:41:07,787
Speaker 6: He yeah, really helps me throughout the game, communicating literally

2125
01:41:07,787 --> 01:41:12,187
Speaker 6: for the full ninety minutes with me, So yeah, it's yes,

2126
01:41:12,827 --> 01:41:15,307
Speaker 6: unreal to have them here next to me. It's a

2127
01:41:15,307 --> 01:41:16,667
Speaker 6: great help and a.

2128
01:41:16,587 --> 01:41:19,467
Speaker 2: Couple of chances to score too. Mate. Now, how do

2129
01:41:19,547 --> 01:41:20,747
Speaker 2: you remember those moments?

2130
01:41:22,467 --> 01:41:27,547
Speaker 6: Honestly? Yeah? Yeah, no words, really I could have got

2131
01:41:27,547 --> 01:41:31,667
Speaker 6: a hatchick, I believe, but na, honestly, yeah. I hopefully

2132
01:41:31,667 --> 01:41:33,467
Speaker 6: we'll get one this weekend if I get on and

2133
01:41:33,507 --> 01:41:34,147
Speaker 6: get some minute.

2134
01:41:34,187 --> 01:41:38,547
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, but to be also to be

2135
01:41:38,587 --> 01:41:40,307
Speaker 2: an attacking threat like a couple of heaters and then

2136
01:41:40,307 --> 01:41:42,467
Speaker 2: there was a volley light on as well. I mean

2137
01:41:42,747 --> 01:41:45,147
Speaker 2: that surely is another string to your bow that you're

2138
01:41:45,587 --> 01:41:47,467
Speaker 2: even at set pieces, if you're playing center back, even

2139
01:41:47,467 --> 01:41:50,307
Speaker 2: at set pieces, that you're an attacking threat. That must

2140
01:41:50,347 --> 01:41:51,547
Speaker 2: add another string to your bow.

2141
01:41:53,027 --> 01:41:57,267
Speaker 6: Yeah, honestly, my whole life, I've been quite good in

2142
01:41:57,307 --> 01:42:00,907
Speaker 6: the air. I've scored a fair few bit of headers,

2143
01:42:00,987 --> 01:42:07,107
Speaker 6: so yeah, I've always had an attacking mind for corners

2144
01:42:07,147 --> 01:42:10,187
Speaker 6: and whatnot. Yeah, like I said, I've scored a fair

2145
01:42:10,267 --> 01:42:14,387
Speaker 6: few heads of my career. But yeah, every time there's

2146
01:42:14,387 --> 01:42:18,827
Speaker 6: the corner, I'm running up straight ready, can't wait if

2147
01:42:18,827 --> 01:42:20,667
Speaker 6: it's a good ball and hopefully get my head on it.

2148
01:42:20,707 --> 01:42:24,587
Speaker 6: And yeah, eventually, hopefully one's going to go and I

2149
01:42:24,667 --> 01:42:26,507
Speaker 6: do think one's going to come in so and I'll

2150
01:42:26,507 --> 01:42:26,987
Speaker 6: be buzzing.

2151
01:42:27,107 --> 01:42:28,987
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, well, I know, well you mentioned your

2152
01:42:29,027 --> 01:42:32,547
Speaker 2: time in Ireland for Wixford. If she tell us about

2153
01:42:32,587 --> 01:42:33,747
Speaker 2: that experience.

2154
01:42:35,307 --> 01:42:40,787
Speaker 6: I mean the football, the football there was a lot different. Yeah,

2155
01:42:40,827 --> 01:42:46,267
Speaker 6: it was, like I said, very physical and it wasn't

2156
01:42:46,387 --> 01:42:49,707
Speaker 6: so much did little small passes trying to play out

2157
01:42:49,747 --> 01:42:54,347
Speaker 6: as more just direct and long ball and yeah, I

2158
01:42:54,427 --> 01:42:59,387
Speaker 6: enjoyed the football aspects of things, and yeah, it was

2159
01:42:59,467 --> 01:43:01,547
Speaker 6: it was quite. It was good for my football career

2160
01:43:01,547 --> 01:43:04,667
Speaker 6: over leave because I got a I think it was

2161
01:43:04,747 --> 01:43:11,347
Speaker 6: thirty five appearances in the season, so yeah, obviously playing

2162
01:43:11,347 --> 01:43:15,507
Speaker 6: against men over in Europe for thirty five games really

2163
01:43:15,507 --> 01:43:17,907
Speaker 6: benefited me. So yeah, I enjoyed it.

2164
01:43:18,347 --> 01:43:20,547
Speaker 2: Good stuff. Or right, let's look at this game this afternoon.

2165
01:43:21,227 --> 01:43:24,947
Speaker 2: Three straight losses never much fun. What sort of messages

2166
01:43:25,067 --> 01:43:27,547
Speaker 2: are you getting from the coaching staff as you look

2167
01:43:27,587 --> 01:43:29,827
Speaker 2: to turn things around?

2168
01:43:30,067 --> 01:43:32,667
Speaker 6: I mean say messages as every week to be honest,

2169
01:43:33,987 --> 01:43:36,147
Speaker 6: nothing really needs to be said. I think US boys

2170
01:43:36,147 --> 01:43:40,867
Speaker 6: are pretty motivated to end that losing strake of ours.

2171
01:43:40,987 --> 01:43:44,307
Speaker 6: It's a Muslim game for us, I believe, And yeah,

2172
01:43:44,307 --> 01:43:47,587
Speaker 6: the boys are going out really more ready than ever.

2173
01:43:48,067 --> 01:43:51,067
Speaker 2: Are there any small things or even medium sized things

2174
01:43:51,107 --> 01:43:54,707
Speaker 2: that if you do change or get right or even

2175
01:43:54,747 --> 01:43:57,427
Speaker 2: get a little bit better, will have a big influence today?

2176
01:43:57,467 --> 01:43:57,947
Speaker 2: Do you think?

2177
01:44:00,587 --> 01:44:07,267
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think just concentration, really, just you. Little errors

2178
01:44:08,187 --> 01:44:12,147
Speaker 6: cost us a few goals in the past games, and

2179
01:44:12,187 --> 01:44:16,667
Speaker 6: I think just touching those up will be Yeah, we'll

2180
01:44:16,667 --> 01:44:17,587
Speaker 6: be sweet.

2181
01:44:18,547 --> 01:44:21,107
Speaker 2: And your first appearance at sky Stadium, all of your

2182
01:44:21,107 --> 01:44:23,867
Speaker 2: other appearances have been away from memory. How much you're

2183
01:44:23,867 --> 01:44:25,067
Speaker 2: looking forward to playing a home game?

2184
01:44:26,867 --> 01:44:31,307
Speaker 6: Hopefully I can get on or get some minutes. Yeah,

2185
01:44:31,507 --> 01:44:34,387
Speaker 6: I'd love to because my family is coming down and

2186
01:44:34,947 --> 01:44:37,747
Speaker 6: it'd be great to play in front of them. So yeah,

2187
01:44:37,747 --> 01:44:38,547
Speaker 6: I'm buzzing.

2188
01:44:38,947 --> 01:44:41,027
Speaker 2: As being a private the Phoenix. What you expected it

2189
01:44:41,027 --> 01:44:41,427
Speaker 2: would be?

2190
01:44:43,507 --> 01:44:49,747
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it is really. I came in knowing that

2191
01:44:49,827 --> 01:44:52,787
Speaker 6: the boys are great lads, great group of boys, and

2192
01:44:53,267 --> 01:44:56,307
Speaker 6: everything I expected to be honest, good to.

2193
01:44:56,267 --> 01:44:58,587
Speaker 2: Hear well, all the best this afternoon, Corbyn. Let's hope

2194
01:44:58,587 --> 01:45:00,907
Speaker 2: you can turn things around and get back on the

2195
01:45:00,907 --> 01:45:02,867
Speaker 2: winning side of things. Look forward to seeing seeing you

2196
01:45:02,907 --> 01:45:05,547
Speaker 2: out there hopefully fingers cross this afternoon. Thanks for the chat,

2197
01:45:05,747 --> 01:45:10,787
Speaker 2: appreciate it, No, thank you, Corbyn. Piper, there new face

2198
01:45:10,827 --> 01:45:14,187
Speaker 2: in the Wellington Phoenix squad. Unfortunately, a couple of injury

2199
01:45:14,227 --> 01:45:17,787
Speaker 2: concerns for Wellington this afternoon to a couple of key players.

2200
01:45:18,187 --> 01:45:21,667
Speaker 2: When I say injury concerns more than concerns, a couple

2201
01:45:21,747 --> 01:45:26,427
Speaker 2: of players have been ruled out. Marco Rojas, who unfortunately

2202
01:45:26,467 --> 01:45:29,227
Speaker 2: missed last weekend having had a really good game the

2203
01:45:29,267 --> 01:45:33,867
Speaker 2: previous week, has twisted his ankle quite badly. He's out

2204
01:45:33,907 --> 01:45:36,547
Speaker 2: for today and is in a moon boot unfortunately and

2205
01:45:36,547 --> 01:45:39,827
Speaker 2: will miss probably the next two to three games. And

2206
01:45:39,907 --> 01:45:42,467
Speaker 2: Tim Pain also injured himself at training, one of the

2207
01:45:42,507 --> 01:45:45,627
Speaker 2: more experienced players in the team. He'll also miss this afternoon,

2208
01:45:45,707 --> 01:45:51,267
Speaker 2: so some further selection conundrums for Jihn Callotaliana the coach

2209
01:45:51,267 --> 01:45:55,067
Speaker 2: of the side, but I'm sure he'll have a strategy

2210
01:45:55,347 --> 01:45:57,387
Speaker 2: for when the game kicks off at around about five o'clock.

2211
01:45:57,387 --> 01:46:00,227
Speaker 2: And it is a beautiful day in Wellington compared to

2212
01:46:00,227 --> 01:46:03,587
Speaker 2: the last couple which have been terrible. It is a really,

2213
01:46:03,587 --> 01:46:05,627
Speaker 2: really nice day in Wellington today, so let's hope that

2214
01:46:05,867 --> 01:46:09,147
Speaker 2: the football matches the weather at Sky Stadium five o'clock

2215
01:46:09,187 --> 01:46:12,627
Speaker 2: this afternoon. Finally, we go to Auckland FC, who are

2216
01:46:12,667 --> 01:46:15,947
Speaker 2: in Gosford on the Central Coast of New South Wales

2217
01:46:15,947 --> 01:46:18,947
Speaker 2: to take on the Central Coast Mariners in Gosford from

2218
01:46:18,987 --> 01:46:23,387
Speaker 2: seven o'clock tonight. Unfortunately, with their travel schedules and training

2219
01:46:23,427 --> 01:46:26,147
Speaker 2: loads and things like that, they were unable to join

2220
01:46:26,227 --> 01:46:28,227
Speaker 2: us or no, there wasn't anyone able to join us

2221
01:46:28,267 --> 01:46:30,747
Speaker 2: for a chat today on the show, but some comments

2222
01:46:30,747 --> 01:46:34,627
Speaker 2: got sent through from head coach Steve Carriker, so I'll

2223
01:46:34,667 --> 01:46:37,707
Speaker 2: play for you first of all, around how they've prepared

2224
01:46:37,747 --> 01:46:39,667
Speaker 2: for this game off the back of their loss to

2225
01:46:39,747 --> 01:46:41,067
Speaker 2: Western United a week ago.

2226
01:46:41,427 --> 01:46:41,947
Speaker 4: Really good.

2227
01:46:42,267 --> 01:46:45,147
Speaker 14: We've had a good week's training boys. Of we spoke

2228
01:46:45,147 --> 01:46:47,987
Speaker 14: about the defeat. Obviously it's our first one, so we

2229
01:46:48,067 --> 01:46:51,067
Speaker 14: want to respond on a positive note against Central Coast

2230
01:46:51,827 --> 01:46:55,907
Speaker 14: and we've been working towards that. They've been great. They're upbeat,

2231
01:46:55,987 --> 01:46:58,867
Speaker 14: they're ready to ready to go for the Central Coast game.

2232
01:46:59,667 --> 01:47:03,787
Speaker 14: Injury wise, everyone's pretty good, obvious. A couple of young

2233
01:47:03,827 --> 01:47:07,907
Speaker 14: boys out Ollie Middleton, Cam Cam Howison if he's not young,

2234
01:47:07,987 --> 01:47:11,267
Speaker 14: but he's still out Cam and Dan Hall. But other

2235
01:47:11,347 --> 01:47:16,707
Speaker 14: than that, we have a fully fit squad and yeah,

2236
01:47:16,907 --> 01:47:19,347
Speaker 14: looking forward to it. Similar to Western they're in a

2237
01:47:19,387 --> 01:47:22,507
Speaker 14: position they were last week, so we obviously have to

2238
01:47:22,547 --> 01:47:24,147
Speaker 14: make sure that we're on our game. We want to

2239
01:47:24,147 --> 01:47:25,547
Speaker 14: perform a lot better than last week.

2240
01:47:25,587 --> 01:47:26,307
Speaker 2: They're a good team.

2241
01:47:26,387 --> 01:47:30,187
Speaker 14: They like you said, they won all trophies last year.

2242
01:47:30,667 --> 01:47:32,787
Speaker 14: They're a bit of change in their squad as well

2243
01:47:32,827 --> 01:47:37,267
Speaker 14: throughout this season. But they're at home. They had a

2244
01:47:37,267 --> 01:47:40,267
Speaker 14: good performance the other night. They've got a draw, so

2245
01:47:40,587 --> 01:47:43,107
Speaker 14: you know, we really have to take care of business.

2246
01:47:43,627 --> 01:47:46,867
Speaker 14: Some dangerous threats. They got up front with pace docer

2247
01:47:47,507 --> 01:47:51,707
Speaker 14: Quoll with the pace you know, Celtech defensively very strong,

2248
01:47:52,347 --> 01:47:54,827
Speaker 14: so we have to perform really well to beat them.

2249
01:47:54,867 --> 01:47:57,547
Speaker 2: Here you go Steve Carriker with some brief premix thoughts.

2250
01:47:57,547 --> 01:47:59,907
Speaker 2: Seven o'clock tonight they take on the Central Coast Mariners.

2251
01:47:59,947 --> 01:48:02,347
Speaker 2: They're back home actually on New Year's Day, so some

2252
01:48:02,387 --> 01:48:07,147
Speaker 2: New Year's Day footballergo Media Stadium. Five o'clock on Annuary first,

2253
01:48:07,147 --> 01:48:10,947
Speaker 2: which is Wednesday, they take on Melbourne victory. So yeah,

2254
01:48:10,947 --> 01:48:13,067
Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing another good crowd at home for

2255
01:48:13,147 --> 01:48:16,827
Speaker 2: Auckland FC. They played tonight in Gosford and then at

2256
01:48:16,827 --> 01:48:20,347
Speaker 2: home on Wednesday twenty two to three. It's lunch at

2257
01:48:20,387 --> 01:48:23,987
Speaker 2: the MCG on day three. India having resumed at one

2258
01:48:24,107 --> 01:48:27,307
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty four for five in their first innings.

2259
01:48:27,307 --> 01:48:30,467
Speaker 2: They got through to two hundred and forty four for seven,

2260
01:48:30,587 --> 01:48:33,347
Speaker 2: so they've added eighty for the loss of two wickets.

2261
01:48:33,947 --> 01:48:36,907
Speaker 2: Nesh Kumar ready is doing pretty well actually forty nine

2262
01:48:36,947 --> 01:48:40,547
Speaker 2: out of sixty one balls, joined by Washington Sunda who

2263
01:48:40,627 --> 01:48:44,107
Speaker 2: is unbeaten on five. So they are now just thirty

2264
01:48:44,147 --> 01:48:47,507
Speaker 2: one runs away from avoiding the follow on. So that'll

2265
01:48:47,547 --> 01:48:50,107
Speaker 2: be a big order of business after lunch for India.

2266
01:48:50,147 --> 01:48:54,467
Speaker 2: Australia just need their remaining three wickets in India's first

2267
01:48:54,467 --> 01:48:56,707
Speaker 2: innings to be able to enforce the follow on if

2268
01:48:56,747 --> 01:49:00,107
Speaker 2: they so choose. So India two forty four for seven.

2269
01:49:00,107 --> 01:49:03,147
Speaker 2: They'll resume at the MCG at around about ten past

2270
01:49:03,147 --> 01:49:06,947
Speaker 2: three this afternoon. When we come back, I was going

2271

Speaker 2: to say, we're at Alexandra Palace. Well, we'll review the

01:50:22,187 --> 01:50:26,547
Speaker 2: darts enthusiast host of the KWE Darts podcast, Ben Francis

2295
01:50:26,627 --> 01:50:30,707
Speaker 2: joins us. Ben I saw your tweet just around Christmas time.

2296
01:50:31,027 --> 01:50:33,627
Speaker 2: If you'd told me before the World Champs that fourteen

2297
01:50:33,867 --> 01:50:37,347
Speaker 2: seeds would be out before Christmas, I wouldn't have believed you.

2298
01:50:37,427 --> 01:50:40,467
Speaker 2: What was behind the pre Christmas carnage?

2299
01:50:41,667 --> 01:50:45,347
Speaker 23: Oh gee, Jason, where to start? It's just been absolutely incredible.

2300
01:50:45,387 --> 01:50:47,907
Speaker 23: I think whats of that is just down to maybe

2301
01:50:47,947 --> 01:50:50,067
Speaker 23: just the busyness of the schedule this year, lots of

2302
01:50:50,107 --> 01:50:52,587
Speaker 23: players playing a lot more due to the rise and

2303
01:50:52,667 --> 01:50:55,987
Speaker 23: popularity in the last year due to Luke Hitler, but

2304
01:50:56,067 --> 01:50:58,307
Speaker 23: probably some of it as well as that lots of

2305
01:50:58,307 --> 01:51:01,627
Speaker 23: these lower ranked players are actually playing good darts at

2306
01:51:01,627 --> 01:51:03,747
Speaker 23: the moment and just headed into the tourtum with a

2307
01:51:03,747 --> 01:51:06,267
Speaker 23: bit more confidence, playing a lot better and lots of

2308
01:51:06,547 --> 01:51:08,867
Speaker 23: repercussions as well. With lots of these top seeds are

2309
01:51:08,907 --> 01:51:11,787
Speaker 23: falling out. I said to you in a message like

2310
01:51:11,867 --> 01:51:14,667
Speaker 23: Michael Smith is going to be the biggest casualty because

2311
01:51:14,667 --> 01:51:18,387
Speaker 23: how the rankings are done is that you got your

2312
01:51:18,387 --> 01:51:21,107
Speaker 23: prize money accumulated over two years, as it was a

2313
01:51:21,187 --> 01:51:23,667
Speaker 23: defending champion from two years ago. He's essentially lost half

2314
01:51:23,707 --> 01:51:26,347
Speaker 23: as prize money dropped from world number two. I think

2315
01:51:26,347 --> 01:51:28,507
Speaker 23: he's actually at seventeen at the moment that could drop

2316
01:51:28,547 --> 01:51:31,587
Speaker 23: further and that has massive repercussions for tournament tending at

2317
01:51:31,587 --> 01:51:33,187
Speaker 23: at twenty twenty five, So it's going to be an

2318
01:51:33,227 --> 01:51:36,387
Speaker 23: absolute shake up if more seeds continue to tumble out.

2319
01:51:36,707 --> 01:51:41,267
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the top sixteen essentially guarantees you a spot

2320
01:51:41,267 --> 01:51:42,747
Speaker 2: at all the big tournaments, is that right?

2321
01:51:43,547 --> 01:51:46,027
Speaker 23: Yeah? So it's usually the top eight. Most of them

2322
01:51:46,027 --> 01:51:48,267
Speaker 23: are top sixteen. There are a couple where it's just

2323
01:51:48,307 --> 01:51:50,667
Speaker 23: the top eight. The top sixteen you're pretty much and

2324
01:51:51,267 --> 01:51:55,227
Speaker 23: without with no having to go through any qualification sort

2325
01:51:55,267 --> 01:51:57,627
Speaker 23: of period. So look, it's going to be massive that.

2326
01:51:57,667 --> 01:52:01,067
Speaker 23: Look those rankings in that sort of area from around

2327
01:52:01,467 --> 01:52:04,187
Speaker 23: ten to eighteen, there's not much in it. So it

2328
01:52:04,187 --> 01:52:06,227
Speaker 23: could take a couple of tournaments for him to kind

2329
01:52:06,227 --> 01:52:08,747
Speaker 23: of jump back into those spots, but jeezus, you don't,

2330
01:52:09,027 --> 01:52:10,987
Speaker 23: and you got yourself a big helder climb.

2331
01:52:11,347 --> 01:52:11,547
Speaker 11: Yeah.

2332
01:52:11,547 --> 01:52:14,347
Speaker 2: So the world number two, Michael Smith, that's a massive shock.

2333
01:52:14,427 --> 01:52:16,827
Speaker 2: Before we look at who's still in there, anybody else

2334
01:52:16,827 --> 01:52:19,107
Speaker 2: who was a major surprise being knocked out in the

2335
01:52:19,107 --> 01:52:19,747
Speaker 2: early rounds.

2336
01:52:21,187 --> 01:52:23,787
Speaker 23: Oh, it's really hard to say, to be honest, I

2337
01:52:23,787 --> 01:52:26,787
Speaker 23: think Michael Smith was definitely the biggest one. I think

2338
01:52:26,867 --> 01:52:29,227
Speaker 23: Rob Cross probably falling a bit early as well. He

2339
01:52:29,307 --> 01:52:32,707
Speaker 23: lost to Scott Williams just before Christmas. But Scott Williams

2340
01:52:32,787 --> 01:52:35,027
Speaker 23: was a semi finalist from last year after he beat

2341
01:52:35,067 --> 01:52:37,267
Speaker 23: Michael van guel On in the quarterfinals, so he's someone

2342
01:52:37,307 --> 01:52:39,427
Speaker 23: that really plays well on the big stage. But I

2343
01:52:39,467 --> 01:52:42,147
Speaker 23: would say Michael Smith without question. Look, some of these

2344
01:52:42,587 --> 01:52:45,747
Speaker 23: seated players, lots of them that did lose, were on

2345
01:52:45,787 --> 01:52:47,467
Speaker 23: the lower side of the ranks and there's not much

2346
01:52:47,507 --> 01:52:50,067
Speaker 23: between them and the players they face, so I'd probably

2347
01:52:50,067 --> 01:52:52,107
Speaker 23: say those two were definitely the big shots.

2348
01:52:52,467 --> 01:52:54,027
Speaker 2: All right, So as I mean to no trouble for

2349
01:52:54,067 --> 01:52:58,147
Speaker 2: the defending champion Luke Humphreys at all. Really, I sort

2350
01:52:58,147 --> 01:53:00,667
Speaker 2: of had half an eye on his match this morning

2351
01:53:00,707 --> 01:53:04,907
Speaker 2: against Welshman Nick Kenney. Hardly troubled Luke Humphries. What did

2352
01:53:04,907 --> 01:53:05,867
Speaker 2: you make of his performance?

2353
01:53:06,787 --> 01:53:09,347
Speaker 23: Yeah, Look, Luke's has been playing fantastic and it's been

2354
01:53:09,547 --> 01:53:13,507
Speaker 23: quite an interesting year for him because usually when the

2355
01:53:13,627 --> 01:53:15,587
Speaker 23: world champ wins it, they are the ones that get

2356
01:53:15,627 --> 01:53:17,147
Speaker 23: all the coverage there, the ones that have to do

2357
01:53:17,227 --> 01:53:19,747
Speaker 23: all the media, you know, face everything. But because he

2358
01:53:19,867 --> 01:53:22,987
Speaker 23: say he beat a sixteen year old teenage sensation in

2359
01:53:23,027 --> 01:53:25,987
Speaker 23: his first tournament, he hasn't had lots of that distraction,

2360
01:53:26,427 --> 01:53:28,587
Speaker 23: I would call it probably compared to like other world

2361
01:53:28,627 --> 01:53:31,467
Speaker 23: champions have had. So he's played pretty well all year.

2362
01:53:31,507 --> 01:53:34,427
Speaker 23: He's gone into the tournament with great for as I

2363
01:53:34,507 --> 01:53:35,907
Speaker 23: kind of see to you last week, I don't really

2364
01:53:36,347 --> 01:53:39,547
Speaker 23: see him getting troubled until for possibly the semi finals,

2365
01:53:39,587 --> 01:53:42,587
Speaker 23: when it would be a rematch against Luke Letler. But

2366
01:53:43,107 --> 01:53:45,547
Speaker 23: as he touched on before Peter Wright reaching the fourth round,

2367
01:53:45,547 --> 01:53:48,627
Speaker 23: those two meet in the coming days and that will

2368
01:53:48,627 --> 01:53:51,387
Speaker 23: be a very intriguing matchup, especially if Peter Wright does

2369
01:53:51,467 --> 01:53:54,107
Speaker 23: play the way we know he can play because he's

2370
01:53:54,107 --> 01:53:56,627
Speaker 23: a two time world champion. He is known for changing

2371
01:53:56,627 --> 01:53:58,507
Speaker 23: his darts around. But if he sex with the darts

2372
01:53:58,507 --> 01:54:00,987
Speaker 23: that he used in this match today, he could really

2373
01:54:00,987 --> 01:54:04,067
Speaker 23: trouble Luke Humphreys. But if I'm calling it today, I

2374
01:54:04,067 --> 01:54:06,107
Speaker 23: think Luke Humphreys will will definitely take it out.

2375
01:54:06,347 --> 01:54:08,387
Speaker 2: All right. So Luke Litlely you mentioned, as you say,

2376
01:54:08,427 --> 01:54:11,307
Speaker 2: he's just the name on everybody's lips and he gets

2377
01:54:11,307 --> 01:54:14,627
Speaker 2: so much more media coverage and attention than anybody else,

2378
01:54:14,667 --> 01:54:17,867
Speaker 2: and incredible really for a guy's what's seventeen eighteen years

2379
01:54:17,867 --> 01:54:20,307
Speaker 2: old whatever, he is still a teenager. He beat Ryan

2380
01:54:20,307 --> 01:54:23,787
Speaker 2: Meeklin round two. I saw quite a bit of emotion

2381
01:54:23,907 --> 01:54:25,627
Speaker 2: from him afterwards. Do you think he was just finally

2382
01:54:25,627 --> 01:54:27,907
Speaker 2: pleased to get back up there, get a win, and

2383
01:54:27,947 --> 01:54:30,427
Speaker 2: then enjoy a bit of time off over Christmas.

2384
01:54:31,027 --> 01:54:33,227
Speaker 23: Yeah, it's probably some of it due to that. I

2385
01:54:33,227 --> 01:54:35,747
Speaker 23: think part of it as well. He thinks it's been

2386
01:54:35,747 --> 01:54:37,667
Speaker 23: a whole year since that he's been on this will

2387
01:54:37,707 --> 01:54:40,267
Speaker 23: Wind journey. People that followed art to have known the

2388
01:54:40,347 --> 01:54:43,547
Speaker 23: name Luke Letler for a while. I myself was aware

2389
01:54:43,547 --> 01:54:45,267
Speaker 23: of him. I didn't expect him to do as well

2390
01:54:45,307 --> 01:54:47,107
Speaker 23: as he did last year, or even as well as

2391
01:54:47,107 --> 01:54:49,107
Speaker 23: he's done this year. I thought maybe some of the

2392
01:54:49,107 --> 01:54:52,027
Speaker 23: pressure would get to him. But he's handled himself really well,

2393
01:54:52,507 --> 01:54:54,587
Speaker 23: and I think some of it was just that relief

2394
01:54:54,627 --> 01:54:56,587
Speaker 23: I'm back up here, I've got off your good start.

2395
01:54:57,067 --> 01:54:59,827
Speaker 23: Maybe a bit more nervous this year because of all

2396
01:54:59,827 --> 01:55:02,747
Speaker 23: that pressure. You know, he hasn't had much time to relax.

2397
01:55:02,787 --> 01:55:04,507
Speaker 23: He's had that bit of time and it's kind of

2398
01:55:04,507 --> 01:55:07,747
Speaker 23: just hit him. But facing a guy I think it's

2399
01:55:07,947 --> 01:55:10,467
Speaker 23: tomorrow against Ian White, who has been on the tour

2400
01:55:10,627 --> 01:55:12,947
Speaker 23: quite a while, and he actually said he remembers playing

2401
01:55:13,107 --> 01:55:16,107
Speaker 23: Luger Letler's dad quite a few years ago. So you

2402
01:55:16,107 --> 01:55:17,947
Speaker 23: know that that shows you how long he's been in

2403
01:55:17,987 --> 01:55:18,267
Speaker 23: the game.

2404
01:55:19,307 --> 01:55:22,347
Speaker 2: That's amazing. Oh man, that's the way to make somebody

2405
01:55:22,387 --> 01:55:26,307
Speaker 2: feel old and others whose names were I guess more

2406
01:55:26,307 --> 01:55:29,827
Speaker 2: familiar with Michael van Goerwin, he's still there. How do

2407
01:55:29,867 --> 01:55:31,907
Speaker 2: you how do you assist what he you know, what

2408
01:55:31,947 --> 01:55:34,707
Speaker 2: he might or how he might go? Could he go

2409
01:55:34,787 --> 01:55:36,267
Speaker 2: all the way? For example, I mean, we know he's

2410
01:55:36,267 --> 01:55:39,107
Speaker 2: a world champion previously. Could he could he be there

2411
01:55:39,147 --> 01:55:39,827
Speaker 2: at the end?

2412
01:55:40,387 --> 01:55:42,267
Speaker 23: Well, he could easily be there in the end. Unfortunately

2413
01:55:42,427 --> 01:55:44,027
Speaker 23: was that Well, he's on the other side of the drawer,

2414
01:55:44,187 --> 01:55:46,347
Speaker 23: so that kind of opens it up for him. One

2415
01:55:46,347 --> 01:55:48,307
Speaker 23: of the quite a few messages came through after our

2416
01:55:48,387 --> 01:55:51,587
Speaker 23: chat last week about Gary Anderson possibly tripping up. But

2417
01:55:51,627 --> 01:55:54,547
Speaker 23: Gary Anderson, of course lost his game and the drawer

2418
01:55:54,587 --> 01:55:56,987
Speaker 23: you'd say, is quite open for Michael van Girwen at

2419
01:55:57,027 --> 01:55:59,067
Speaker 23: the moment. So if he wins his next match against

2420
01:55:59,067 --> 01:56:02,507
Speaker 23: Brendan Dolan, he's going to face either qualified from the

2421
01:56:02,547 --> 01:56:06,067
Speaker 23: Philippines or an unseated man from Sweden, so he has

2422
01:56:06,107 --> 01:56:08,267
Speaker 23: got quite a friendly run. The problem is if you

2423
01:56:08,307 --> 01:56:10,907
Speaker 23: have quite an easy run in when you do those

2424
01:56:11,147 --> 01:56:13,427
Speaker 23: those tougher games. You haven't really had that kind of

2425
01:56:13,667 --> 01:56:17,187
Speaker 23: adversity and up on the stage at this particular tournament.

2426
01:56:17,467 --> 01:56:19,427
Speaker 23: So and Mike is a bit of a shot that

2427
01:56:20,107 --> 01:56:22,627
Speaker 23: look Van girlin. We all know what he's capable of.

2428
01:56:22,667 --> 01:56:26,787
Speaker 23: He's an outstanding player and on his day he obviously

2429
01:56:26,867 --> 01:56:29,987
Speaker 23: can be anyone. But I would say he's probably going

2430
01:56:30,027 --> 01:56:31,027
Speaker 23: to be the favorite to come from.

2431
01:56:30,947 --> 01:56:32,307
Speaker 13: The bottom side of the draw, no doubt.

2432
01:56:32,827 --> 01:56:36,027
Speaker 2: Okay, So Luke Littler, Luke humphreyes, Michael get van goerwin.

2433
01:56:36,187 --> 01:56:39,147
Speaker 2: Then it's probably a gap back, hasn't it been? Who

2434
01:56:39,147 --> 01:56:42,147
Speaker 2: else could possibly be in this in this conversation as

2435
01:56:42,347 --> 01:56:43,947
Speaker 2: an outsider to go all the way?

2436
01:56:45,147 --> 01:56:47,507
Speaker 23: Oh, I mean, that's a really tough question because you

2437
01:56:47,547 --> 01:56:50,667
Speaker 23: could look at someonelike dmitriy Vandenberg, who's a former World

2438
01:56:50,707 --> 01:56:53,947
Speaker 23: Youth champion, who's been there, who's played lots of big tournaments,

2439
01:56:53,987 --> 01:56:56,107
Speaker 23: he's been news yelling quite a few times. He's on

2440
01:56:56,147 --> 01:56:58,307
Speaker 23: the bottom side of the drawer with Michael Van Girl

2441
01:56:58,307 --> 01:57:00,747
Speaker 23: and so those two could potentially meet in the quarter finals.

2442
01:57:01,427 --> 01:57:03,707
Speaker 23: He's one person keeping elye on. I actually kind of

2443
01:57:03,707 --> 01:57:07,347
Speaker 23: look at girlin Price and after today he's showing, he's

2444
01:57:07,347 --> 01:57:09,987
Speaker 23: showing signs of the player that he was when he

2445
01:57:10,027 --> 01:57:12,307
Speaker 23: won the world title. It's come in a really tough

2446
01:57:12,347 --> 01:57:15,227
Speaker 23: battle against Joe cullensday and the fact he came through it.

2447
01:57:15,467 --> 01:57:17,707
Speaker 23: I quite fancy him to make a bit of a

2448
01:57:17,827 --> 01:57:19,547
Speaker 23: run as well, but I don't really think he's much

2449
01:57:19,547 --> 01:57:22,107
Speaker 23: of an outsider. But he's one player who I think

2450
01:57:22,227 --> 01:57:24,867
Speaker 23: is definitely going to have something to say later on

2451
01:57:24,867 --> 01:57:25,427
Speaker 23: in the tournament.

2452
01:57:25,867 --> 01:57:27,707
Speaker 2: Good Man being great to get your analysis made. I

2453
01:57:27,747 --> 01:57:30,307
Speaker 2: know you're on holiday, so get back to that. Well

2454
01:57:30,467 --> 01:57:32,067
Speaker 2: might get you on the radio next weekend as we

2455
01:57:32,667 --> 01:57:34,947
Speaker 2: wrap the final. I think it's schedule for I think

2456
01:57:35,067 --> 01:57:36,987
Speaker 2: is it Friday night over there? Saturday morning?

2457
