1 00:00:09,133 --> 00:00:12,693 Speaker 1: You're listening to a podcast from news Talk ZEDB. Follow 2 00:00:12,773 --> 00:00:16,213 Speaker 1: this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio 3 00:00:16,933 --> 00:00:21,012 Speaker 1: Used TALKSB. It's twenty two past three and we. 4 00:00:21,093 --> 00:00:24,893 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Mat and Tyler Afternoons on zb ACC 5 00:00:25,052 --> 00:00:29,453 Speaker 2: head Mania Stewart Mate, we'll discuss the cricket motion. 6 00:00:29,412 --> 00:00:33,693 Speaker 3: And thank you very much for the promotion to I'll 7 00:00:33,693 --> 00:00:35,333 Speaker 3: be approving my own pay rise after this. 8 00:00:35,493 --> 00:00:39,013 Speaker 2: We're in a difficult position now because Cain Williamson is 9 00:00:39,053 --> 00:00:42,213 Speaker 2: on ninety four and that's a difficult time to discuss 10 00:00:42,293 --> 00:00:44,973 Speaker 2: cricket because you don't want to compliment the man. You 11 00:00:45,013 --> 00:00:48,653 Speaker 2: don't really want to mention anything about it because we'll 12 00:00:48,653 --> 00:00:50,252 Speaker 2: be blamed he doesn't make it. 13 00:00:50,533 --> 00:00:52,253 Speaker 3: And this is something that the a SEC has faced 14 00:00:52,293 --> 00:00:55,213 Speaker 3: a lot of criticism over the years about, is the 15 00:00:55,733 --> 00:00:59,333 Speaker 3: level and frequency with which we dish out commentators curses. 16 00:00:59,373 --> 00:01:00,533 Speaker 1: So it is. 17 00:01:00,573 --> 00:01:02,853 Speaker 3: It's funny. Once you get into the situation, the commentary 18 00:01:02,853 --> 00:01:05,213 Speaker 3: becomes quite difficult because you don't want to say anything 19 00:01:05,573 --> 00:01:08,292 Speaker 3: lest he's dismissed in the next ball and it's your fault. 20 00:01:08,373 --> 00:01:11,053 Speaker 2: It's difficult to commentate a cricket fix you without ever 21 00:01:11,133 --> 00:01:14,773 Speaker 2: complementing your team so man and I we're leading by 22 00:01:14,853 --> 00:01:17,853 Speaker 2: four hundred and twenty four runs. How far do you 23 00:01:17,893 --> 00:01:18,653 Speaker 2: think we'll push that? 24 00:01:18,973 --> 00:01:21,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean obviously five hundred's the first thing that 25 00:01:21,572 --> 00:01:23,613 Speaker 3: comes into your mind. But you're gonna remember this is 26 00:01:23,693 --> 00:01:26,212 Speaker 3: day three and they're going to play till about seven 27 00:01:26,212 --> 00:01:30,133 Speaker 3: o'clock tonight because of the rain delay. And this English team, 28 00:01:30,173 --> 00:01:31,613 Speaker 3: I mean, if ever there was a team that could 29 00:01:31,652 --> 00:01:34,932 Speaker 3: chase down five hundred, it's probably this team. So I 30 00:01:35,053 --> 00:01:37,493 Speaker 3: wonder if these boys are going to try and bat 31 00:01:37,533 --> 00:01:40,293 Speaker 3: for time as opposed to a particular score. I mean, 32 00:01:40,333 --> 00:01:42,453 Speaker 3: you look, we're two twenty for three in this inning, 33 00:01:42,493 --> 00:01:44,493 Speaker 3: so we've got plenty in the hutch. And that two 34 00:01:44,533 --> 00:01:47,133 Speaker 3: twenty for three you're gonna remember is Willow Rourke, who 35 00:01:47,212 --> 00:01:50,013 Speaker 3: was a night watchman, so it's really two twenty for two. 36 00:01:50,973 --> 00:01:53,053 Speaker 3: So I think they're going to try and stay out 37 00:01:53,053 --> 00:01:55,252 Speaker 3: there for as long as possible. And there's, of course 38 00:01:55,413 --> 00:01:59,413 Speaker 3: the interesting case of being Tim Soudy's last game. Yeah, 39 00:01:59,573 --> 00:02:02,613 Speaker 3: currently sitting on ninety eight sixes. Yes, so if we 40 00:02:03,333 --> 00:02:06,773 Speaker 3: declare and don't allow Tim Southey in his last game 41 00:02:06,813 --> 00:02:10,053 Speaker 3: to try and hit two sixes, which sounds crazy and 42 00:02:10,173 --> 00:02:14,133 Speaker 3: juvenile and outside of the spirit of Test cricket. But 43 00:02:14,133 --> 00:02:16,173 Speaker 3: if we don't allow that, I'll be furious. No, well, 44 00:02:16,173 --> 00:02:18,972 Speaker 3: it's own patriotic, isn't it. I mean he is one 45 00:02:18,972 --> 00:02:21,573 Speaker 3: of the record as we see another six there Williamson, 46 00:02:21,573 --> 00:02:23,573 Speaker 3: and he's brought up the ton is that the times 47 00:02:23,613 --> 00:02:26,453 Speaker 3: the time I've done it with a sex and that's 48 00:02:26,493 --> 00:02:27,973 Speaker 3: really led us off the hook. We can now talk 49 00:02:28,013 --> 00:02:29,933 Speaker 3: about it partnership. 50 00:02:30,093 --> 00:02:35,453 Speaker 2: That's century thirty three for Cain Williamson, I believe, And 51 00:02:36,173 --> 00:02:38,773 Speaker 2: just how much do we love that man? You can't 52 00:02:38,773 --> 00:02:42,293 Speaker 2: love him anymore? Every innings he gives us something to 53 00:02:42,333 --> 00:02:46,253 Speaker 2: love more and a very subdued, classically subdued celebration. How 54 00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:48,293 Speaker 2: much straight back on, let's get back into it. But 55 00:02:48,293 --> 00:02:51,253 Speaker 2: you're right, Tim Souvey. I think if we see Tim 56 00:02:51,293 --> 00:02:53,093 Speaker 2: Souvey come out in the next couple of work, it's 57 00:02:53,133 --> 00:02:56,053 Speaker 2: that sort of an indication that we're about to But 58 00:02:56,173 --> 00:02:58,412 Speaker 2: he because like you said, he's on ninety eight career 59 00:02:58,573 --> 00:03:01,893 Speaker 2: Test sixes. If he goes to one hundred, he will. 60 00:03:01,733 --> 00:03:05,732 Speaker 3: Then be third all time behind Ben Stokes and Be's 61 00:03:05,813 --> 00:03:10,773 Speaker 3: McCallum both in the ground. Yeah, but also he isn't 62 00:03:10,813 --> 00:03:14,693 Speaker 3: a batsman, so his percentage of sixes to balls faced 63 00:03:14,853 --> 00:03:17,933 Speaker 3: is astronomical compared to everyone else. Well, it's ridiculous. It's 64 00:03:17,972 --> 00:03:19,573 Speaker 3: when you're grown up as a kid, all you want 65 00:03:19,613 --> 00:03:22,053 Speaker 3: to do is bowl fast and hit sixes, and that's 66 00:03:22,053 --> 00:03:23,813 Speaker 3: exactly what he's done in his career. 67 00:03:24,453 --> 00:03:26,893 Speaker 2: But as in New Zealander, sometimes we've wished that he 68 00:03:26,933 --> 00:03:28,973 Speaker 2: hadn't gone out and just tried to smash sixes and 69 00:03:28,972 --> 00:03:31,653 Speaker 2: maybe stuck around at the crease a little bit longer. 70 00:03:31,693 --> 00:03:34,453 Speaker 2: I think he averages about seventeen balls and innings. 71 00:03:34,093 --> 00:03:36,373 Speaker 3: Something like that, but I think that's a hangover from 72 00:03:36,373 --> 00:03:38,853 Speaker 3: the bas era as well, because Bears just told the 73 00:03:38,853 --> 00:03:41,133 Speaker 3: tail enders, look, you suck at betting, you're not a 74 00:03:41,133 --> 00:03:43,333 Speaker 3: good better, so go out there and just have a heave. 75 00:03:43,773 --> 00:03:45,973 Speaker 3: You know, you might as well score twelve quick runs 76 00:03:45,973 --> 00:03:46,533 Speaker 3: and then get out. 77 00:03:46,973 --> 00:03:50,213 Speaker 2: Speaking of a heave, came Williamson just followed up that 78 00:03:50,333 --> 00:03:53,853 Speaker 2: six with a four to move to one hundred and four. 79 00:03:54,693 --> 00:03:58,093 Speaker 2: So look, we're looking very good. But as you say, England, 80 00:03:58,173 --> 00:03:59,933 Speaker 2: with their Bears ball ways, we want to have at 81 00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:02,613 Speaker 2: least five hundred on them. I do wonder if perhaps 82 00:04:02,813 --> 00:04:05,333 Speaker 2: you know, there's been rumors coming from around the country 83 00:04:05,413 --> 00:04:08,293 Speaker 2: at various flash golf courses that these boys, the single 84 00:04:08,533 --> 00:04:11,253 Speaker 2: team have been really enjoying their golf over the last 85 00:04:11,333 --> 00:04:14,373 Speaker 2: few weeks. I've heard rumors that their target each game 86 00:04:14,413 --> 00:04:17,733 Speaker 2: has been to be done by the third day. I 87 00:04:17,813 --> 00:04:19,493 Speaker 2: did hear in that last test that they had a 88 00:04:19,533 --> 00:04:22,853 Speaker 2: tea time booked on the fifth day, So I just 89 00:04:22,933 --> 00:04:25,133 Speaker 2: wonder if maybe there's a bit of fatigue sitting it 90 00:04:25,773 --> 00:04:28,093 Speaker 2: in the English team. Yeah, well, they paid the deposit 91 00:04:28,173 --> 00:04:30,213 Speaker 2: and you can't get that back at the flash golf 92 00:04:30,253 --> 00:04:33,253 Speaker 2: courses so much. Sam and I Stewart And if you 93 00:04:33,253 --> 00:04:35,733 Speaker 2: see a camel when you were watching the footage that 94 00:04:35,853 --> 00:04:38,773 Speaker 2: was sent down there by the ACC to celebrate Tim 95 00:04:38,773 --> 00:04:42,853 Speaker 2: Southy and his final game, He's known as the Sexy camel, 96 00:04:42,893 --> 00:04:44,933 Speaker 2: and I think it's been a great celebration for him. Yeah, 97 00:04:45,053 --> 00:04:45,653 Speaker 2: ugly camel. 98 00:04:45,733 --> 00:04:48,533 Speaker 3: We've had a lot of feedback on the camel. The 99 00:04:48,573 --> 00:04:50,933 Speaker 3: main of the camel is underneath its neck as opposed 100 00:04:50,933 --> 00:04:54,093 Speaker 3: to on the top, and camel's actually don't have top teeth, 101 00:04:54,173 --> 00:04:55,493 Speaker 3: but this one does. 102 00:04:55,573 --> 00:04:57,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's got a weird to pay on its 103 00:04:57,373 --> 00:05:00,173 Speaker 2: hump as well. But anyway, come on, the black Caps 104 00:05:00,173 --> 00:05:01,053 Speaker 2: give a taste of Kiwi. 105 00:05:01,173 --> 00:05:02,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, good to see you mate. 106 00:05:02,293 --> 00:05:04,253 Speaker 2: It is twenty seven past three. 107 00:05:04,293 --> 00:05:06,333 Speaker 1: Headlines coming up, then we're going to catch up with 108 00:05:06,573 --> 00:05:09,933 Speaker 1: Die Henward looking forward to let's you listen to Metton 109 00:05:09,973 --> 00:05:12,533 Speaker 1: Toilet Back in a Mine.
