The 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: black Caps have selected an unchanged lineup for the second 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Test against England at the Base from Reserve. It starts 4 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: this morning. Andrew Ordison is there news talks heb's cricket correspondent, Andrew. 5 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: Good morning, greetings, Ryan, good to have you, Good to 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: hear from you. Nice to have you in the capitol 7 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: for us this morning. So they've kept the faith with 8 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: this team that lost in christ Church? Have they made 9 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: the right call? Do you reckon? 10 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 2: I think by a large yes. I mean I'm looking 11 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: at that pitch. Yes, today it's going to be green 12 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: and seam options will come to the fore pretty early. 13 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 2: I would have thought of New Zealand were able to 14 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 2: when the task I think of Edisie wins a task, 15 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 2: they're likely to fields first and to make the best 16 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: of those those bowling conditions. Just having a look looking 17 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: back when there's some talk you could have maybe used 18 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 2: a spinner and it's by Mitchell Senter was brought into 19 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: the squad or you know, the specialist spur of Conklent Philips. 20 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: They're already but just looking there's been one first class 21 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: game near this season three weeks to the forty that 22 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 2: were taken with to spin, not a whole lot. There 23 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: was an argument last season in Sebruy because Nathan lyon 24 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: the Australian spin it took ten for the match that 25 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 2: maybe they should introduce that option. War but he's get 26 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: them sticking with the tribe and that the key thing 27 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 2: right has been the catching and if the catchers has 28 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 2: been taken the first thing some Christ she could have 29 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: been a hole. A lot different the situation he's in 30 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 2: out there practicing that catching. At Linked yesterday, sort of 31 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 2: players lined up along the of fence with Jacob Warren 32 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: the assistant coach, delivering the big hits and also Gary 33 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: Stead feeding the slip cording with the plumb trying to 34 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 2: sharpen that up. 35 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: But it didn't look to be going very well from 36 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: what I saw on the news. 37 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 2: Andrew Yes, a sort of a scenary of yeats. You 38 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: have the tricky rehearsal if you like, before the main 39 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: events in theater they say break the leg, going like 40 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: that anyway, We'll see how that goes. But he's in them. Additionally, 41 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: an excellent fielding site, so that was one that was 42 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: unexpected with that performance eight drop catches and editings which 43 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 2: really five in Harry Brooks innings alone, which really cost 44 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: them the game. 45 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: They are both out to both teams now out of 46 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: the World Test Championship running. Does that mean that they'll 47 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: be a bit looser. 48 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be. I mean he's even crucially losing 49 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 2: those points to to the lack of overs in the day, 50 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 2: to the slow over rates, and there's been some dispute 51 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: over that where you get a lot more seamovers in 52 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: the likes of Musland in the Australian versus the spitting 53 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: on the sub continent. But yeah, I think you could 54 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: see a bit more prepare to throw cautioning to the 55 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: wind in that regard perhaps, But then again, most teams 56 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: have then playing for results these days by largest, very 57 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: few draws, and particularly where this English side is involved, 58 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: and the likelihood is that you'll end up with a 59 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: match that's prince less than five days anyway, given the 60 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: tempo that they play at the visitors. 61 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: Andrew, thank you look forward to hearing you lady this morning. 62 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: Appreciate your time in getting up early for us.
