1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: With that ten sleeps to go. Can you believe it?

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Nisbou morning get it?

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: No, I can't believe it. It's as you get older,

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 2: as you'll find out, Luke, time goes a hell of

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 2: a lot quicker. And here we are again talking about Christmas.

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: Mate. I don't think I need to get in the older.

7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm certainly feeling it means that we've got nine more

8
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: sleeps to get our shopping done, so there's still a

9
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: little bit of time up here sleeve for that. Let's

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: talk some sports overnight. Alice Robinson has won something called

11
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: the World Cup Super g W her first win here,

12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: our first ever podium for a ki. We finished zero

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: point zero eight seconds ahead of the entry from France

14
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: and the commentators just couldn't believe how quickly she went.

15
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: Had the jets on worth noting here in Nisbee that

16
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: she's the underdog up against Does I understand it? You know,

17
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: millionaires and teams backed by millions and millions of dollars?

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: So how good for us?

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? Remarkable? Really, I don't think we can underestimate how

20
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: good this is up against the best from Europe. And

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: the good thing is that the Winter Olympics are not

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 2: that far away, I think there in Italy, and boy

23
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: I remember when Anonly Coburger was I think she finished

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: up with a bronze medal at one of the Winter

25
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 2: Olympics and everybody was over the moon about this. We

26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: are a big chance for a gold medal here and

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: quite remarkable ready from little old New Zealand, up against

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: the very best in the world in a very very

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: popular sport, particularly in Europe.

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: We look at the crop that we've currently got, Luke

31
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: Harrington with his bronze medal at the Big Air that

32
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: was on the news last night, Zoey Sadowski, Sinek Nicko Portius.

33
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: A lot of reason to be excited for those Winter Olympics.

34
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: Yep, you bet it is. And it's always a great

35
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 2: spectacle too. I love watching the Winter Olympics, probably more

36
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: so actually than the Summer Olympics, some of those lpine events.

37
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: It's just fantastic, so really looking forward to it.

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: From one season to another. Black Caps with a nine

39
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: wicket win out of Wellington, this one wrapped up in

40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: three days. Was it that we're being so short changed

41
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: by Test cricket at the moment?

42
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: Well, I think because the bowlers are dominant, dominant over

43
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: the batsman. We saw in christ Church the West Indies

44
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: when they got on a flat pitch, they were able

45
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: to hang around forever. But get them on a pitch

46
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: where things are doing a wee bit and they just

47
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: don't have the technique or the ability to survive, and

48
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: well they were completely outclassed. And I would imagine the

49
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 2: same thing will happen in Toweringham when the second Old

50
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: the third Test match gets underway. The interesting news is

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: that a Battel, Ajs Battel, has been recalled to the

52
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: New Zealand team. Now this is a guy whose name

53
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: just crops up about once every year and we think,

54
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: oh my god, is he's still playing the game. He's

55
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: not getting any younger. But of course his claim to

56
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: fame as taking a ten wicket bag in one innings.

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: Only the third players we ever do that. So it's

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: great to see him back and I would imagine that

59
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: New Zealand, once again, despite the depleted bowling attack, will

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: be too strong for the West.

61
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: And these Tom Blundell also returning after fitness issues. So

62
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: I thought that Mitch Hay did pretty well. Solid performance.

63
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah he did, absolutely, but you normally go back to

64
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: the incumbent, and I think Mitch Hay is a player

65
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: for the future. I think Tom Blundell is thirty five

66
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: or something like that, so hasn't got long to go,

67
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: and hey will slot in when the time comes
