You What about the black Caps last night? Now, 13 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: I mean that was I am I'm still in shock. 14 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 3: Should I tell I was utterly lost for words. I 15 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 3: was at a function last night, phone off for a 16 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 3: couple of hours. When I went in, India were two down. 17 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 3: I came out and I looked at my phone and 18 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 3: it took me a while to work out what I 19 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 3: was seeing. All out forty six forty six, lowest total 20 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 3: India have ever been bowled out for in a Test 21 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 3: match on home soil. This is against a New Zealand 22 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 3: team that, as we know, really didn't go into this 23 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 3: Test series with anything other than mild pessimism. 24 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: I don't think from osh New Zealand cricket fans, all. 25 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 3: Of a sudden we boil them out for forty six 26 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 3: Matt Henry five for fifteen, which makes a complete mockery 27 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 3: of him not playing the last two Test matches, but 28 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 3: let's leave that in the past. Look, I think all 29 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: of a sudden, in the space of one day probably 30 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 3: our best day in Asia in Test cricket. You know, 31 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 3: things are locking a lot rosier for our Black Apps. 32 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: So was it a case of us performing excellently or 33 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: was it a case of them just collapsing? 34 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: But are both. 35 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: They won the toss and decided to bat, so we're 36 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: not talking about an absolute minefield of a pitch here. 37 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 3: That we won the toys and put them in on. 38 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 3: They chose to bat, but they just didn't bat very well. 39 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 3: We bowled brilliantly. Matt Henry has become a high quality 40 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 3: fast bowler in Test match as well. 41 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: O'Rourke looked really good as well. 42 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 3: Not a single ball of spin bowled in an innings 43 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 3: in India. When did we ever think we'd say that. 44 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think we bowled well, I think we did. 45 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 3: They weren't great, but you know, forty six all out, 46 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 3: that's what people will remember a bit of a red 47 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 3: letter day. 48 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: I am getting a lot of texts already questioning whether 49 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: this is a best scandal. 50 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. That funnily enough. 51 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 3: As soon as I checked my phone last night, I 52 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 3: think once I scrolled a bit below the forty six, 53 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 3: that's what I started. 54 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: To see as well. 55 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 3: Look, I mean, it's always going to be something that 56 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 3: enters a conversation when a team like India with all 57 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 3: of their big guns, collapses in such spectacular fashion. I 58 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 3: think we should just enjoy it for what it is, Heather, 59 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 3: rather than you know, suspect that anything murky is going on. 60 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 2: Maybe we just had a day out of the box, 61 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: you know, maybe we did. 62 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: Hey, listen, so you're obviously quiet. I mean, of all 63 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: the people I know, you're the one who understands football 64 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: the best. How do you rate the chances of Auckland FC. 65 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: I rate them quite highly. I think the roster is 66 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: very good and broad terms, it's a good roster. The 67 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 3: a league, you know, as a league that is famous 68 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 3: for for squads and teams that you don't necessarily expect 69 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 3: to do well. Doing well, I think they've done well 70 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 3: to get to the start line with a really good roster. 71 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 3: I think the hype machine's been in full you know, 72 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: running at full capacity. Sounds like it's going to be 73 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 3: a sell out tomorrow at Mount Smart, which will be 74 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: a great occasion. The proof of the porting obviously is 75 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 3: whether they continue to sell sell tickets when you know 76 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 3: they have to play every second week. But I think 77 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 3: they've they've started well off the field. On the field, 78 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 3: I reckon they'll win tomorrow. They've got a good team 79 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 3: and I think the occasion will lift them. Yeah, I'm 80 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: just looking forward to watching them play against Wellington Phoenix 81 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks down the track and the Derby's. 82 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 3: But yeah, no, it's I think a welcome addition to 83 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 3: our sporting landscape. 84 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: Brilliant stuff.
