1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Testing conditions for Nisbo, who's been trying his hand at

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: bowls in the rain. I think it's been New Plymouth

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: this week, and maybe there's some rain fade with the

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: phone line not able to get through to him. But

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: thankfully we've got Andrew Ordison from the sports desk.

6
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: Hello to you, Ye, greetings, Luke. Yeah, it's a shame

7
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 2: bound in this. I mean, it's good to hear that

8
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: he's on the on the bowls greens.

9
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, very familiar with it, although you might need a

10
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: waders given the conditions that we've been having. Hey, I'm

11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: looking on the sports wire this morning, and it's nice

12
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: to have an all black story that's not centered around

13
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: the coach. I see that they've got a test against

14
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: the spring Box lined up once again in the US survey.

15
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: Smells like money to me. Baltimore. You ever been to

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: Baltimore yourself?

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: No, I've only sort of caught up with it on

18
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: the y TV show. I'm not sure I'd be wanting

19
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: to go there, just to be honest with.

20
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: You, but hard enough to get into the States. Now,

21
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: you've got to look at all your all your social

22
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: media history.

23
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: You do? You do? You gona be a bit careful

24
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: about all that sort of stuff. But Boltmore's where it's

25
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: going to be. And I mean you steell, what that's

26
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: fourth five and five years? They've been there, Luke, So,

27
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: I mean South Africa's played there twice, I think, but

28
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 2: they've never met the two teams themselves in an actual game.

29
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, you're you're right. I think the smell of

30
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: money will be all across there. On the fourth Test

31
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: in this series that's coming back with the Tests that

32
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: there's three of them will be in South Africa and

33
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: then they'll move there for what potentially could be the decider,

34
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: I suppose, So yeah, yeah, a fair thing possible. I mean,

35
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: I think the thing is that it's going to be

36
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: at the NFL Stadium of the Ravens, so clearly a

37
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: terrific venue, et cetera, and no doubt a grand occasion too.

38
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: Right, what else is on into the weekend? Twenty Black

39
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: Camps India. I mean, we gave we humbled them in

40
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: both the Test series and the od I series, so

41
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: I guess we had to give them something to keep

42
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: the confidence up.

43
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: Indeed, indeed, I think it's a great build up as

44
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be played in India and Sri

45
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: Lanka the World Cup next month leading into it, and

46
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: this is the perfect scenario where you're playing India, you're

47
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: getting used to the crowd, you're getting used to the heat,

48
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: can conditions, et cetera. And you know this is on

49
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: the side at the moment they really Yeah. I guess

50
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a cliche to say greater than

51
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 2: the sum of their parts, but I just think they're

52
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: playing so well as a team. There's just seems to

53
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: be so much depth there of players stepping up from

54
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: the domestic game into the internationals and delivering. And I

55
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: think that you know, that odes well certainly better than

56
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: their preparation for the twenty twenty four to I don't

57
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: think they had much at all in the Caribbean and

58
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: this this is going to bode really well. So five

59
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: matches against India, you can't get much more than that

60
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: head of a World Cup.

61
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: Just a shame about the viewing times. You got to

62
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: be pretty keen to sitting there two am alarm.

63
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: You've got to have my sheeft, which is quite good.

64
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: You're coming and see you do it well, you and

65
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: me both. There are few and fewer perks of being

66
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: a breakfast DJ these days, watching international sport is one

67
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: of them. And so we've got anything else you've got

68
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: an eye on.

69
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: Well, I'm really looking forward to the Australian Open. I

70
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: just I mean, I'm a little bit guilty last night

71
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: actually going well beyond my normal bedtime because I saw

72
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: Verenka against Arthur Gear. Oh it was incredible and you

73
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: just once you've locked into it, you just can't stop watching.

74
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: And Varenka when he's forty, I think Gear is about

75
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: maybe twenty one something like that, and it was just

76
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: toe to toe and Verenka eventually Drivor Gear was the

77
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: one who actually cramped up the younger guy, and Verka

78
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: taking the tiebreaker of ten too. But its games like that.

79
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: I just love about the Australian Open and leading on

80
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: what now be moving into the third and fourth rounds

81
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: over the weekend, et cetera, and onto the business end.

82
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: But you just see some great penis, amazing venues. Have

83
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: got that vision of Melbourne Park as a whole loop

84
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: that just it always just makes me want to be there,

85
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: you know, when you think about the sport in the

86
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: Melbourne precinct, and yeah, it just looked an amazing atmosphere.

87
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: I don't think I've got anything in my wardrobe that

88
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: would make the dress code, but would be cool to

89
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: experience at some stage. The glitz and the glen
