1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Now yet another black Caps test has been delayed because

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: of the rain. We already had to can the whole

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: Afghanistan test because the wet weather, and we lost two

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: Zip and Tree Lancas. The whole tour of the subcontinent

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: isn't going all that well. Peter McGlashan is a former

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: Black Cap and with us. Now, Hi, Peter, good evening,

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: Good to talk to you again. Now, Peter, tell me, Okay,

8
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: should we be annoyed that the test is delayed or

9
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: should we be relieved that we don't have to watch

10
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: India smash us?

11
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it is just the first morning, so

12
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: we'd hope there wouldn't be too much smashing going on.

13
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: What it does do is it buys New Zealand a

14
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 2: little bit more time to decide on their playing eleven. So,

15
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: because the game hasn't started yet, no one will have

16
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: necessarily finalized who's going to be in, who's going to

17
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: be out? And I guess we all wait with baited

18
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: breath to see one of the old experience players like

19
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 2: Tim So are the you're going to get another crack,

20
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: or whether or not they go with some of the

21
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: young bowlers like Willow rock Well.

22
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: Tom Latha must be feeling the pressure.

23
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a while since he's captained in this

24
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: form of the game. I think everyone has also been

25
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: a little bit critical of his own form, so it's

26
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: never easy to get handed the captain's arm badge when

27
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: you're not necessarily on top of your own game. But

28
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: he's a pretty level headed chap and I'm sure he

29
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: would have enjoyed the challenge whenever he gets a chance.

30
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Because of how dominant India are, right and because of

31
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: how rare it is for us to win over there,

32
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: what would we consider a measure of success coming out of.

33
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: This, Yeah, I think just being competitive across the whole game.

34
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: The conditions are going to be really trying. It's not

35
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: going to be I guess a favorable time for the

36
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 2: New Zealanders. The weather does it level the playing field

37
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: a little bit? Obviously they're in India at a time

38
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: of the year where it's not necessarily as hot and

39
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: dry as other times when you're over there. But the

40
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: test form is there's no way to hide. You're out

41
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: there for five days and reality is that generally the

42
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: best team will come out on top, as opposed to

43
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: the t twenty format where it's a bit more of

44
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: a lottery. So they just want to be competitive. They

45
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: want to make sure that they put in a better

46
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: performance than the recent series against Shlinka.

47
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: Peter, good to talk to you mate, Thank you so much.

48
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: Pete mcglashon, former black Capin.
