Speaker 1: You're listening to a podcast from News Talk sat B.
Speaker 1: Follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: And take an on the pair. Now we don't get in.
Speaker 3: It's a trick. It is out.
Speaker 2: The test is over. Couldn't diss a beauty? It is
Speaker 2: out and.
Speaker 4: Here he goes. This delivery has in the users to goold.
Speaker 1: On the front foot with Brian Wabble and Jeremy Cody
Speaker 1: powered by News Talks head B at iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Hello on the front foot, back with you doing Australia
Speaker 2: out for the world secreted but I got a little
Speaker 2: bit Curtains in the black pat Afghanistan the surprise packet
Speaker 2: or are they? What did the associates offer the event?
Speaker 2: Kane Williamson has opted out of a central contract. Has
Speaker 2: he earned that right? And has Test cricket lost its
Speaker 2: favor despite all the top players knowing it's the format
Speaker 2: they enjoyed playing. Remember last week on the Front Foot
Speaker 2: Andrew Wilson and Jeremy Coney passed comment about players and
Speaker 2: their contracts.
Speaker 4: It's sort of ray in one my mind as you
Speaker 4: were saying that you mentioned contracts. Do we now have
Speaker 4: to start thinking of our particularly our T twenty part
Speaker 4: of our game. When you look at it, we've got well,
Speaker 4: I don't know if you know what it's called. It
Speaker 4: changes its name every year. But that domestic game where
Speaker 4: the black Caps don't really play. We don't have a
Speaker 4: franchise game here. We were tracting overseas players for the
Speaker 4: T twenty component of our season. Should we allow some
Speaker 4: of our players to perhaps pop away and play some
Speaker 4: of those and get and rub shoulders in franchise games
Speaker 4: if they can be selected in that level, at that level.
Speaker 2: And me down, Cain Williamson revealed he wasn't signing with NZZ,
Speaker 2: but looking at franchise options while still professing loyalty to
Speaker 2: the New Zealand game. Jeremy Kaine, did you have some
Speaker 2: inside running there and strike a chord with you?
Speaker 4: No? Hello words, high olders, Look, No, I didn't. I
Speaker 4: just felt that I was really talking about, you know
Speaker 4: the fact that Clayer is very near to the New
Speaker 4: Zealand set up, or have perhaps played for New Zealand
Speaker 4: but are not established yet, might think about not playing
Speaker 4: the super smash our T twenty domestic and going to
Speaker 4: other places as part of a pathway to establish themselves
Speaker 4: a little bit better at a stronger tournament.
Speaker 3: That was all.
Speaker 4: But now this has certainly raised it a bit more,
Speaker 4: hasn't it?
Speaker 2: Yes, certainly changes things. Andrew Ornison back with us again.
Speaker 2: I guess something like this was going to happen anyway.
Speaker 2: It's happened with Trent Bolt, hasn't me? Nichem and Kane
Speaker 2: Williamson is deciding his options. I think he's earned the right,
Speaker 2: hasn't he.
Speaker 5: Look, I think he has to a point.
Speaker 6: And I think that New Zealand cricket system, with that
Speaker 6: contract system, that they haven't undermined the integrity by doing
Speaker 6: what they've done. They've basically when you know he wants
Speaker 6: I think about three to four weeks to plan that
Speaker 6: South African League where he's got clearly a deal's that's
Speaker 6: established there. Presumably it's worth a fit of it to
Speaker 6: be able to match what is on for the contract,
Speaker 6: given he'd be the top player. But I think that
Speaker 6: if they were to make an exception there, then it
Speaker 6: would be you know, a further domino effect, if you
Speaker 6: like we were already seeing. Speaking of domino effects, I
Speaker 6: mean we've seen it with like you said, with Bolts
Speaker 6: and Niche, them et cetera over a period of time
Speaker 6: to ground Holm and others. And I suspect that it's
Speaker 6: going to continue to be something that New Zealand cricket
Speaker 6: are going to be to be across. Given the New
Speaker 6: Zealand players don't as much as say the counterparts in
Speaker 6: India or Australia or England and that central contract space,
Speaker 6: there's going to have to be an element of flexibility
Speaker 6: there and Williamson obviously feels that mean presumably he'll add
Speaker 6: others to that if he's not on a contract just
Speaker 6: through the course of the year, but he has I
Speaker 6: think the key difference is he's probably professed his keys
Speaker 6: have still played internationals more so than Trent Bolt when
Speaker 6: he made that decision.
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's a fascinating watching brief.
Speaker 2: The IPL side basically run those South African franchises anyway,
Speaker 2: and I think they're in the United States too, aren't they, Jerry. So,
Speaker 2: I mean it's all a matter of just an extension
Speaker 2: of the IPL to some extent, isn't it.
Speaker 4: Well it is. I don't know whether it will play
Speaker 4: as much wadds as that. I mean, January is the
Speaker 4: time that we're talking about, isn't it in the New
Speaker 4: Zealand season. New Zealand tend to be playing holiday white
Speaker 4: ball cricket, don't they at that time with the Super Smash.
Speaker 4: There are other options of course for players in French cricket,
Speaker 4: whether you know there are three or four going on
Speaker 4: at that time. South Africa has been mentioned, Dubai, the
Speaker 4: ILT twenty is going on, The Big Bash has started
Speaker 4: in December and goes to January, the Bangladesh one as well,
Speaker 4: so there are options there for players. Williamson looks at
Speaker 4: it and says, no, I don't want to play Super
Speaker 4: Smash because at my central contract, says I've got to.
Speaker 4: I don't want to do that. I'm thirty three, I've
Speaker 4: got three kids. I want to do what Bolt's doing, like,
Speaker 4: you know, take the family on the road with me.
Speaker 4: How long does he want to keep doing that? I
Speaker 4: do I don't know whether I question it, but he
Speaker 4: says he wants to prolong his career. Is he merely
Speaker 4: changing from a lower grade T twenty Super Smash now
Speaker 4: for a higher grade and better paid and his family's there?
Speaker 4: I mean, the only thing he's really not playing is Odiyes,
Speaker 4: isn't it. There aren't many of those nowadays he'll miss
Speaker 4: some Sri Lanka, Odouani and t twenties. But yeah, I look,
Speaker 4: I don't know has Bolt. Bolt's got a different arrangement,
Speaker 4: hasn't he? Bolt's not playing the isn't isn't he Wasn't
Speaker 4: he our best left arm bowler, you know, the same
Speaker 4: as the best batsman? Does he get a casual contract?
Speaker 4: Who's his replacement? Now? For New Zealand?
Speaker 2: He gets paid by what contract he takes. Well, he's
Speaker 2: not going to be playing internationally? Is he's not going
Speaker 2: to play tournament stuff? So is he going to play
Speaker 2: anything for New Zealand? And that's just done basically on well,
Speaker 2: we'll pay you this to play this tournament pretty much,
Speaker 2: isn't it.
Speaker 4: I thought Bolt was keen to go and play at
Speaker 4: bay Oval in a test match. Whdn't he said? I'm
Speaker 4: just down the road I like to play, you know.
Speaker 4: So there these are starting to get slightly They're not
Speaker 4: totally muddied waters, but they are slightly Is it the
Speaker 4: case of our best player? You know, one rule for
Speaker 4: one and not for others. You know, I do get
Speaker 4: slightly concerned about are we going to become a wee
Speaker 4: bit like the West Indies and their board having to
Speaker 4: confront lots of players on different contracts. They're trying not
Speaker 4: to but if they are determined about determined about it,
Speaker 4: are players not going to play for their country unable
Speaker 4: to play for them because they're fulfilling franchise arrangements.
Speaker 6: That feels like a fairly valid comparison in the German
Speaker 6: when you mentioned about the Western Indies, because that's when
Speaker 6: you you know, into that second tier of playing nations,
Speaker 6: if you like, at least financially. I was quite pleased
Speaker 6: to hear that Williamson is going to prioritize those tests matters.
Speaker 6: I mean at least eight of the nine of Afghanistan
Speaker 6: potentially he might play that one which we play in
Speaker 6: India from understanding Dylant Cleaver's bouncer article, but that there's
Speaker 6: he'd be playing eight of the nine between now in December,
Speaker 6: so that's a decent way. So that's at least he'll
Speaker 6: be available in that respect. I wonder what the Bold
Speaker 6: situation where it because that was a precedent if both
Speaker 6: parties would perhaps treat that differently. Now if it was
Speaker 6: the case, you know, trying to establish out again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but availability becomes an issue, doesn't it. I mean,
Speaker 4: are we going to have to be more flexible in
Speaker 4: the future. We're going to get more players who are
Speaker 4: going to do this. You know, what happens in a
Speaker 4: couple of years with Mitchell and Conways for some damn
Speaker 4: good runs, you know, and they wanted to look at it.
Speaker 4: What happens to Saudi when he does he want to deal.
Speaker 7: To you know, we're going to have to look at
Speaker 7: our resources and sort of start thinking about forward planning
Speaker 7: cover like investments.
Speaker 3: You do you know you are we?
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly are we going to you know, be in
Speaker 4: a situation where we recall Andrew Olderson into the New
Speaker 4: Zealand board and say, look, Andrew older Look, we've got
Speaker 4: a test against Australia next February March, a series against them,
Speaker 4: three tests. We're going to play you this, pay you
Speaker 4: this for it now. That's going to require some maturity
Speaker 4: on all sides to do that, and the ability to
Speaker 4: get on well with each other and playing staff. The
Speaker 4: board selections are going to have to be made carefully
Speaker 4: ahead of time, and then players are going to have
Speaker 4: to rock up in a mature way with the dates
Speaker 4: in their diary saying I am ready to bowl eighteen
Speaker 4: to twenty overs a day. I've been training with the
Speaker 4: red ball, I've played a longer format match and so
Speaker 4: and so I'm ready. Those are going to be some
Speaker 4: I think of the forward sort of thoughts about how
Speaker 4: we're going to have to consider this.
Speaker 3: It'll be interesting.
Speaker 6: I think too that it'll probably not necessarily be dictated
Speaker 6: by New Zealand Cricket, and it might be dictated by
Speaker 6: I guess entrepreneurs and millionaires overseas running these private T
Speaker 6: twenty leagues want being for buck and it'll be a
Speaker 6: trickier proposition. And that's where the global calendar idea has
Speaker 6: becomes so vital if parties can compromise, because it's only.
Speaker 5: Going to become more and more difficult to get this employed.
Speaker 2: I suspect how many times have we heard with global calendar,
Speaker 2: but nobody's ever done anything about it. At the ICC,
Speaker 2: I think they seem more interested in the money and
Speaker 2: the franchise set up. Yeah, they can get from that.
Speaker 2: The other thing is how many New Zealanders are going
Speaker 2: to be part of this IPL type T twenty franchise
Speaker 2: When we had what nine to ten in India for
Speaker 2: the IPL. Hardly any of them played any games, so
Speaker 2: there wouldn't have been big money going around for a
Speaker 2: lot of people. Are many other New Zealander is going
Speaker 2: to be involved in that kind of scenario or.
Speaker 4: To be sorted out, isn't it Wids? Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: I mean the only the last point I would make
Speaker 4: is just a sort is that the ICC intentions were
Speaker 4: good to go to America. I mean they want to
Speaker 4: take it to a new outpost, create a new revenue stream.
Speaker 4: And I say that because if it works out, you
Speaker 4: reduce the continual impact and being prone to being held
Speaker 4: to ransom by the big threes. It's you know, that's
Speaker 4: they're always having to bow and scrape to those Big
Speaker 4: three about tournaments where they're held and all sorts of things,
Speaker 4: division of moneies. But as they got something else as well,
Speaker 4: suddenly they got a bit more in, you know, to
Speaker 4: argue backwards. If that works out that way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting stuff and stuff we're probably going to have
Speaker 2: to discuss over a period of time because things are
Speaker 2: moving at not great pace. But the changes, particularly with
Speaker 2: the New Zealand game, the super rights, well all is
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about explaining this one because
Speaker 2: you weren't invited to give your final four the semi finalists.
Speaker 2: Two of mine have missed out, you see, Australia. So
Speaker 2: I'm looking a little bit sheepish at the four that
Speaker 2: were there. Do you want to let us know what
Speaker 2: you thought was going to be the final four?
Speaker 4: You'll just say the ones that are there.
Speaker 6: Hindsight, Brian, look, I must have been I'm surprised that
Speaker 6: Australia aren't there. I think I've got ust have done
Speaker 6: incredibly well, especially I suppose with the assistance of gooblde
Speaker 6: names Hamstring pulling up at a crucial stage there in
Speaker 6: the in the Manach against Bungledesh which kept going to
Speaker 6: start it in front and Jonathan Trotz Evans to slow
Speaker 6: the game down, et cetera.
Speaker 5: But they have done superbly well all the same to
Speaker 5: even get to that point.
Speaker 6: And yeah, what's what's supposed to Phiziland's good for Australia
Speaker 6: in a regard getting booted by Afghanistan and I mean India, England.
Speaker 6: I think I'm quite surprised even to see in just
Speaker 6: over the course of the tournament, doesn't surprise of it. Beforehand,
Speaker 6: South Africa seemed to have a good balance there and
Speaker 6: have really made the most of their squad and their
Speaker 6: abilities and you know, maybe it is their time and
Speaker 6: what they last won a tournament of the ninety ninety
Speaker 6: eight Champions Trophy, I think back in the day it
Speaker 6: was the first edition. But they've of course struggled in
Speaker 6: the time in between because of the mean, so many
Speaker 6: scenarios where they got close in white ball cricket but
Speaker 6: haven't been able to push on. So yeah, fastinating scenario.
Speaker 6: Then whatsin Africa and Afghanistan and India against England which
Speaker 6: should be a box office material too, So yet it's
Speaker 6: going to be a couple of fascinating prospects.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, there's been to entertaining games in the most recent
Speaker 2: round and I've got to say I actually did watch
Speaker 2: the Bangladesh Afghanistan game and also the South Africa West
Speaker 2: Indies game had exciting finish to it. Western is was
Speaker 2: one on the sides I picked to actually make the
Speaker 2: four Jeremy along with news Helen. But do you remember
Speaker 2: that did you pick them as well?
Speaker 4: I didn't pick the West and he's no, but I
Speaker 4: did pick Australia and that was a bit of a surprise.
Speaker 4: But they lost to Afghanistan. Well done, Afghanistan, that was
Speaker 4: a fantastic game. I watched the South Africa West Indies
Speaker 4: match two wards, a very tight match and South Africa
Speaker 4: have now won seven out of seven close games, haven't they.
Speaker 4: And I guess that gives them a bit of bit
Speaker 4: of confidence and belief that someone will get it done.
Speaker 4: They keep finding ways to win, but they haven't really
Speaker 4: finished matches clinically, that's the downside of that. I guess
Speaker 4: they've got Dakop getting a few runs, but they've got
Speaker 4: cameos coming from the others. It'd be nice if one
Speaker 4: of them went on. I would have thought. Keep losing
Speaker 4: wickets so that keeps the opposition and interested. I think
Speaker 4: a couple of things have got them through spin Maharaj
Speaker 4: and Shamsi and also Markroom bowling himself. I thought that
Speaker 4: was they bowled twelve overs of spin against the West
Speaker 4: Indies who struggled against the spin, didn't they And they
Speaker 4: got lots of dot balls they can't maneuver around. And
Speaker 4: Markram's captaincy I think has been a very important part
Speaker 4: of all that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Afghanistan have proven that you don't have to have
Speaker 2: a ribbon bust approach to opening your innas what have
Speaker 2: they got three century partnerships at the top of the
Speaker 2: order and it's been good quality betting. Probably run a
Speaker 2: ball there. It's not been heavy hitting by the top
Speaker 2: order players and that's been a proof of that. How
Speaker 2: do you see the semifinals now? Orders will put you
Speaker 2: on the spot with this one. The two semi finals Afghanistan?
Speaker 2: Are they no longer a surprise package? Can they beat you?
Speaker 2: Ell ever again? Oh?
Speaker 6: Look, they can, but I'll be picking South Africa on
Speaker 6: that one, just for the reasons Jeremy's mentioned there with
Speaker 6: the spin options. I mean also they're past bowling too.
Speaker 6: I like the look of that in the fact that
Speaker 6: they've had that real tough run through and been able
Speaker 6: to triumph in those games close contests. But Afghanistan, I
Speaker 6: suppose you could still consider them a surprise package. I
Speaker 6: mentioned there's been a fit bit more scouting done on
Speaker 6: them since they're opening New Zealand will win that they
Speaker 6: were able to succeed with. I've been really impressed with
Speaker 6: Ferruki the left arm with the ball and changes the pace,
Speaker 6: but also just his his venom that he's able to
Speaker 6: display there over the wicket took him to the right hand,
Speaker 6: as I've thought, you know, Rashid Khan coming of age.
Speaker 5: And really proving his pedigree as well in leading.
Speaker 6: That side, and you know with his four wicketsl a
Speaker 6: day and the crucial match against bung A Dish and
Speaker 6: just when we talk about South Africa having close wins,
Speaker 6: I've got to stay able to hold on. Most recently
Speaker 6: again Spugledies suggests that they've got the pedigree, they've got
Speaker 6: the medal to be able to withstand that pressure as well.
Speaker 6: So I'm looking forward to that as a contest for sure.
Speaker 6: What about the other seaming orders, I just have to
Speaker 6: look at India. I think just that they seem like
Speaker 6: such a jugg andau it's so balanced across the park.
Speaker 6: I mean just seeing what Rowisham was able to dispatch
Speaker 6: it a day with his ninety two off forty one.
Speaker 5: But I think they're just in such good forms, such
Speaker 5: a good rhythm from.
Speaker 6: The IPL going straight into this as opposed to England
Speaker 6: who have had a bit of a stop start to
Speaker 6: They had me help by weather on occasion. But I
Speaker 6: just feel like the pressure may get to them and
Speaker 6: I think that India certainly you know the strong round
Speaker 6: all bit that they're now moving down into the western
Speaker 6: HEAs having played that initial part of the tournament in America,
Speaker 6: particularly in New York on the sluggish wickets that we
Speaker 6: saw there. But I'd still back India and that so
Speaker 6: I guess one on one situation, so effectively for me,
Speaker 6: it'll be an into South Africa final.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's fair enough. What do you reckon, Jerry? Pretty
Speaker 2: much the same? I think I follow that line of reasoning.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the second semi India England at Providence, when New
Speaker 4: Zealand of course played first, that's the one that there's
Speaker 4: no it's a day game there, so it usually holds
Speaker 4: up a little bit more. And I think that England
Speaker 4: will come into trouble with the spinners, particularly India have
Speaker 4: at Providence of Aksha cool Deeper's bowling beautifully Jadasia and
Speaker 4: then of course there's seams born around Arshdeep Arshtep's getting
Speaker 4: a few wickets, isn't he. But I think a lot
Speaker 4: on the English and middle order. I think the left
Speaker 4: arm spinners the best I will will concern him a bit,
Speaker 4: will handle any left arm wrist spin will handle left
Speaker 4: and right hand They can change the deliveries. Livingstone important
Speaker 4: as well, so India should have too much for England.
Speaker 4: I think first one much more, much tighter again at
Speaker 4: an area. New Zealand plan a night game, a game
Speaker 4: where they get one hundred and ninety minutes at the
Speaker 4: end and that's about it. You know, they get the
Speaker 4: extra day. Sorry, they get the extra day the next
Speaker 4: day because they're playing earlier. So Taruba. Look, I think
Speaker 4: Afghanistan have got a chance there. I think Naven hasn't
Speaker 4: been mentioned yet, but he got four wickets the other
Speaker 4: night and he's very useful to left handers because he
Speaker 4: can come around the wicket and get swing. Look how
Speaker 4: he bold head the other night. I don't know whether
Speaker 4: you saw that. I think he's better than you. They've
Speaker 4: got a terrific slower ball that got a wicket the
Speaker 4: other night as well against Bangladesh. So I think that
Speaker 4: could be a tighter game.
Speaker 2: Less.
Speaker 4: South Africa play with a more clinical kind of way
Speaker 4: than they have so far.
Speaker 2: Just a finishing point on the woralty twenty. The Associate
Speaker 2: Nations being there, has it add anything to it? Has
Speaker 2: it done what cricket wanted to do? Do you think
Speaker 2: all as you had some reservations. I remember hearing you
Speaker 2: say about the tourment being in America and you changed
Speaker 2: your mind a little bit, didn't you on that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I still have some reservations, but then I mean,
Speaker 6: who doesn't love a feel good story like the United
Speaker 6: States going through to that super right stage.
Speaker 5: I mean, that was that was a terrific performance.
Speaker 6: I mean there are some some of the weaker sizes,
Speaker 6: but you've just got to accept that with the the
Speaker 6: the way it's going in the end, ICC wants to
Speaker 6: open it up two more teams and to get them involved,
Speaker 6: and I think that, yes, it does. I still do
Speaker 6: have reservations, but I think that, yeah, there have been
Speaker 6: some positive points from that to be able to take
Speaker 6: out of it. And yeah, Cricket's looking to grow the game,
Speaker 6: which is clearly the mission and the directive that they
Speaker 6: want to work with at the ICC. Well, I think
Speaker 6: that's something that they'll pursue over a period of time
Speaker 6: for sure.
Speaker 2: Well, all his views on the associates, there are a
Speaker 2: number of their pnng You, Ganda had a win, Nepal,
Speaker 2: Netherlands had to win, Namibia, Amman, Canada had a win
Speaker 2: in Scotland had a win. They extended the tournament, but
Speaker 2: did they add much in terms of the competition and
Speaker 2: having it in America?
Speaker 3: How did that.
Speaker 2: Contribute to the contests all around?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know my feelings a little bit on
Speaker 4: this on I'm right behind the ICC and expanding the
Speaker 4: tournament as far as that the associates go on their
Speaker 4: performances and it will always going to be one side.
Speaker 4: It's slightly lopsided results, but you know, you start you
Speaker 4: start to look at those some of those things that
Speaker 4: you mentioned. You know, Namibia nearly beating Scotland, Scotland, you know,
Speaker 4: nearly beating Australia's There's all those kinds of Netherlands nearly
Speaker 4: down in South Africa, Canada beating Ireland, Nepal just one
Speaker 4: run away from beating South Africa and tying with them,
Speaker 4: Nepal three runs shorts, and you know against that, they
Speaker 4: go on and on. So so yes, mismatches and over
Speaker 4: quickly USA getting through. But I think, for about the
Speaker 4: first time in a while now, this felt to me
Speaker 4: like a World's Cup, you know this, this felt as
Speaker 4: if we were getting a much bigger range of teams.
Speaker 4: And with that, I've talked about the results from them.
Speaker 4: But at the same time, you know, the icc of
Speaker 4: supplied money to of the associates, maybe not enough, and
Speaker 4: that there'll be some people that feel it was a
Speaker 4: bit of a token to them to get a twenty
Speaker 4: team tournament. But the conditions, unwittingly in a way, suddenly
Speaker 4: became a bit of a leveler between the top sides
Speaker 4: and the associates. You don't need to be the best
Speaker 4: bowler to get wickets in those situations. So I felt, yes,
Speaker 4: it wasn't and also that was that slipped into into
Speaker 4: the crowds, didn't it. That was suddenly there was a
Speaker 4: different atmosphere in the crowds. It was those crowds. Think
Speaker 4: of some of the crowds that we've seen and the
Speaker 4: support that they've received from their country. So I thought
Speaker 4: that was a new kind of then, and it's an
Speaker 4: expansion of the sport as well. Going into America, I
Speaker 4: thought the timing was very difficult. You know that ten
Speaker 4: thirty am fun of time they have over there in America,
Speaker 4: and it was a timing that pampered India of course,
Speaker 4: and the reason for that is that you've got to
Speaker 4: give money an opportunity to your broadcasters who pay such
Speaker 4: a lot, you know, to broadcast the sport, and so
Speaker 4: they have to take, you know, cognizance of the India,
Speaker 4: Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Asian kind of group to
Speaker 4: supply money to broadcasters to pay for those large rights.
Speaker 4: So the ICC were a bit limited there. I thought
Speaker 4: that operationally mistakes were made going to America, not establishing
Speaker 4: the conditions I mentioned the time zones. They tried to
Speaker 4: do it right, and it looked okay on the telly,
Speaker 4: didn't it. But if you were if you were, say,
Speaker 4: going to the New York match odds, and you had
Speaker 4: to go to Long Island, the nearest train station was
Speaker 4: five to six miles away from the park. Now the
Speaker 4: people still went. Two of them sold out and there
Speaker 4: were reasonable numbers at the others, but you know, police
Speaker 4: were pretty officious. From there on. It was hard to
Speaker 4: get car parks and all those kinds of things, so
Speaker 4: it was quite expensive to some of the games. So
Speaker 4: look and then of course there were the pictures. There
Speaker 4: was rain down in Florida at Fort Lauderdale, so three
Speaker 4: days were lost there. So it ends up being a
Speaker 4: bit of a kick start, you know. It was an
Speaker 4: effort to try and to go there. The Americans will
Speaker 4: be more aware of cricket because of it, because the
Speaker 4: USA got through. I think that will help a great deal.
Speaker 4: And so I don't, I don't. I'm not going to
Speaker 4: be too harsh on the ICC for that. I think
Speaker 4: that it's actually been a much bit of tournament for
Speaker 4: me to watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have to make those endeavors and they have
Speaker 2: to take those opportunities. I'm not sure that it had
Speaker 2: quite the impact on the Americans as they would have
Speaker 2: been hoping. I've got a son who lives in America
Speaker 2: and he said trying to get the television coverage and
Speaker 2: buying the coverage was very difficult. Just finding out where
Speaker 2: it was available made it tough. That the American television system,
Speaker 2: unless you've got access to that sort of stuff, it
Speaker 2: is quite difficult for Americans to do. But well, it's
Speaker 2: obviously been a reasonably successful event and we'll just have
Speaker 2: to wait and see what comes out of the final
