1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Darcy Waldergrave, Novak Djokovic is the goat, and I don't

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: care how prickly he is. And he proved it again

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: last night.

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: Listen to the program last night, won't you? Yes, I was,

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: thank you very much.

6
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: But it's true.

7
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: He thought between seven and eight Monday to Friday. He's prickly.

8
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: I get that, and that's what makes him great.

9
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does. And he's got the numbers. And if

10
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 3: you're running on numbers, run on that. I don't believe

11
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 3: he got over the Spaniard last night. It was I

12
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 3: was up till two in the morning. Just after two,

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 3: it was like, okay, that was the most astonishing third set.

14
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: I cannot believe it. I've been watching. Surely, I'm not

15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: staying up for this. This is going to go five.

16
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 3: Only went four. That was intense.

17
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: And again what.

18
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: We talked about last night, he focuses his rage in

19
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 3: the right position and he stands up. He didn't have

20
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: to bring up that errant broadcaster who made a stupid

21
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 3: comic and let it go.

22
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.

23
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: But no, no, he did it because he did it

24
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: because he wanted to give some fire to himself.

25
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: And then it worked, and then he turns around and

26
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: looks at the audience and he puts his thin behind

27
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: his ear and he goes hello.

28
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: So there we go.

29
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, meanwhile Aaron Rautliffe is having a very good tournament.

30
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: Nia and rautlifts and two semi finals. Now I was

31
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: juggling the women's doubles and she's obviously had success in

32
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 3: that before with gibbid Rowski. It's coming up on Friday,

33
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: but starting in about all I don't know about an

34
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 3: hour mixed doubles worth Michael Venus, two Cageen semi finals.

35
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: Two Kiwis.

36
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: It's so good, Yes, And she's the most wonderful character.

37
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: And you'll hear more from her tonight if it will

38
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 3: be yarn with this afternoon, like before she goes on court,

39
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: like three hours or two hours before she goes on court. Yeah,

40
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: that's the excess you want go on you so looking

41
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: forward to that.

42
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: I read an article over the weekend and it's all

43
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: about Super Smash and the cricket and how good a

44
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: product it is, particularly when the black Caps are playing,

45
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: and how it's sort of it's disappointing that it's in

46
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: a bad time zone for in Dea in places like that,

47
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: but they wanted to somehow make it better. So it's

48
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: this hint that Super Smash and the Big Bash League

49
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: in Australia might sort of join forces.

50
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: Well, in the rugby league we do, in Super Rugby

51
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: we do, in the netball we're trying to get back

52
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 3: to that again, in the football we do, and then

53
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 3: some in the NBL we do. Cricket for some reason

54
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 3: don't want to join the party. Maybe the Ossies don't

55
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: want us. But the Super Big Bash, Smash, crash, pass, slash, slash,

56
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: what are you going to call it? That has got potential.

57
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: Maybe some haircuts required. You mightn't have two, three maybe

58
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: teams over here if the Australians want us on board.

59
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: But you think of the quality of the competition when

60
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 3: you've got a focused amount of New Zealand cricketers and

61
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: maybe three maybe two teams and they're flying over the

62
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: ditch over the ditch, are flying over here and you

63
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: promote it. It's got so much going forward. I'm sure

64
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: he's out in cricket of thinking about this. They wouldn't

65
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 3: have passed them.

66
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: So have you heard anything about that? Or is this

67
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: a Doarcy water Grave trademarked idea.

68
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: I was actually talking with Chris kenn about that, so

69
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: I'm going to get him on tonight to expand on it.

70
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: I'm not going to take Christmas thunder, that's not fair.

71
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: But he is condemblading that and contacting us gold on

72
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: why aren't we doing this. I think It's been talked

73
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: about on a number of occasions, So I'm interested in

74
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: fan base out there, what works, what doesn't work, because

75
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 3: I'll be all I like Super Smash. I think it's great.

76
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 3: I really enjoyed, love going to the games. But big

77
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: best Super Smash combo with the quality of athletes and

78
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 3: the quality of coverage and commentary and everything else.

79
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: Of course, mate an, look what it did for Hobart

80
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: because Hobart had a funny little ground and never got anything.

81
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: But then they've got got the Hurricanes who are now

82
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: famous and they got him into the competition. The ground

83
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: looks amazing, better than anything we've got. The cricket they've

84
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: got is amazing that people of Hobart go this is

85
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: amazing and turn up every day.

86
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: So they played christ there's a South Island team, maybe

87
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: there's a North Island team, and you've got some wonderful

88
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: botique venues. I'm believing that suddenly Aukland miss out on

89
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: everything because I do you respect to eating a part,

90
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: But I think when it comes to the grassy Knoll,

91
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: would rather be standing on that now, wouldn't I?

92
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Hey, thanks and back again at seven.
