1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Duh. See. Wal the Grave is on Sports Talk this

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: evening and he's with me. Now, do you agree with me?

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 2: Darce?

4
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: It was the right call to take out the guys.

5
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 2: And we've got former tests been a former test coach,

6
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: one day coach for other Black Cats, John Bracewell on

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: the program this evening up after seven o'clock to talk

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: about that. I think that's we're all on the greens

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: around this, that it is the right call? Are we

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: four consecutive? Well, every one I've.

11
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: Talked to, well, it's the first time that in three

12
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: days that I've had people on the text machine agreeing

13
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: with something I've said. So I'm delighted. Yeah, no, I'm

14
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: pleased that.

15
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: I mean, but is there no capital gains involved in

16
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: this decision? Sorry? Check? Yeah, I listened to.

17
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: It's a you know, it's you don't want to diminish

18
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: what he's achieved because he is a bona fide Black

19
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: Cats legend. But I don't know. I just think everything

20
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: about the last twelve hours has suggested to me a professional,

21
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: dignified response to what is ye a pretty obvious problem.

22
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: All about team, all about team, and that's been the

23
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: strength of the black Cats for sometime now, four consecutive

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: pretty horrible defeats. Granted it the hands of Australia and

25
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: Sri Lankra at home, so that is difficult. But he

26
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: sat back and gone, I'm not bowling as well as

27
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: Easter Bowl. I don't know if I can juggle both

28
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: of these demands after two years. I want to continue

29
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,639
Speaker 2: my career and more importantly, I want the black Caps

30
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: to taste success. I need to do this. And so

31
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: he did it, and I think we all commend him.

32
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: On Matt, I don't know if he'll go back to India.

33
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 2: He might have a cup of tea to lie down.

34
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: Become the start of the home season when England turn

35
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: up ham on the green Seemers, maybe we'll start seeing

36
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: decent spells from Tim South which opens up the door

37
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: for Matt, Henry and O'Rourke to take over those duties.

38
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: So you've got to commend and pat on the back.

39
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: Well done to him.

40
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: So the Saders look set to Signers look set to

41
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: sign the former Wallaby James O'Connor.

42
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, James O'Connor has been all around the world, sixty

43
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: plus caps. Very smart decision, very wise. This isn't very

44
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: good decision. Interesting this is a place saver, isn't it. Yeah, yeah,

45
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: this is that they're waiting for Richie Moran to come back.

46
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: Gone rich for you. Well, Fergus Burke has just been

47
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: off to Saracen. So there's a lot of juniors trying

48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: to make their way through, and indeed they will eventually

49
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: push through, but they need a senior guy in there

50
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: who can basically steady the ship and say to these players,

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 2: this is what you do, this is what I've experienced.

52
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: Like he was so green when he first turned up,

53
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: Little Justin bieber Reesk was and he he was, but

54
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: now he's not. Now he's a big, mottled, muscular, massed

55
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: rugby player. It's been all over the shop and if

56
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: that gets over the line, which we led to believe

57
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: through various sources, this would be great for the Crusaders.

58
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: Not only have they got a half decent draw to

59
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: start next season, but now they've got someone who is

60
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: controlling it and that's so important. So yeah, it's James O'Connor.

61
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 2: He has had a bit of a past, but that's okay.

62
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: I'm quite happy about that.

63
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: Very good. Thank you, Darcy Waaldergo will be with us

64
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: tonight for Sports Talk from seven o'clock on News Talks.

65
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: He'd be thank you for your text as well. Jack,

66
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: totally agree with you. First time it's happened in days

67
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: is what Jack. Saudi was once good, but no mass

68
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: retired gracefully. Don't go to India, Jack, You obviously have

69
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 1: never watched him, Saudi bat he's never respected his working.

70
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: It really annoys me, says Mus. Do you remember his

71
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: very first innings, Maus, I think it was his test debut.

72
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: He took five for. He was only about nineteen years old,

73
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: took five for, came out and smashed seventy something seventy seven,

74
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: remember that.

75
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: And he's carried that for the rest of his career

76
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: because everyone thought he comes down next all round, and

77
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: I think that's probably the worst thing that could happen

78
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: to him. Yeah, I've had stood on his sticks for

79
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: a duck. It probably would have been better for a spread.

80
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: I'll get out of your studio.

81
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: No, it's all right, it's just it's nice to reminisces

82
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: on such things. That was a great day, so that

83
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: he's what thirty five, and that was sixteen years ago. Yeah,
