Speaker 3: is with us rop Thanks for taking the time before

116
00:05:56,947 --> 00:05:59,387
Speaker 3: we look at these test matches. How do you evaluate

117
00:05:59,427 --> 00:06:03,827
Speaker 3: the science performances in your T twenty and ODI series

118
00:06:03,907 --> 00:06:05,507
Speaker 3: wins over the West Indies?

119
00:06:06,987 --> 00:06:12,747
Speaker 7: Yeahs, in reflection, we'd be pretty happy given that we

120
00:06:12,827 --> 00:06:15,707
Speaker 7: took out both both series. The tea twiny end od

121
00:06:15,827 --> 00:06:20,187
Speaker 7: eyes probably never strung together, you know, sort of a

122
00:06:20,227 --> 00:06:24,347
Speaker 7: polished performance in all departments, but managed to win a

123
00:06:24,347 --> 00:06:27,227
Speaker 7: few close ones, which is always good. Managed to win

124
00:06:27,307 --> 00:06:30,227
Speaker 7: a few scrappy games and the scrappy wins also good,

125
00:06:30,267 --> 00:06:32,267
Speaker 7: you know, to sort of when when you're not at

126
00:06:32,307 --> 00:06:34,387
Speaker 7: your best is also good signed for the team. So

127
00:06:34,947 --> 00:06:37,707
Speaker 7: put together, you know, some good performances here and there,

128
00:06:37,707 --> 00:06:41,707
Speaker 7: individuals you know, no one in particular at it, but collectively,

129
00:06:41,787 --> 00:06:43,947
Speaker 7: you know, just standing up at different times to get

130
00:06:43,987 --> 00:06:46,467
Speaker 7: the job done. So all those I think are good

131
00:06:46,467 --> 00:06:47,627
Speaker 7: things from a team point of view.

132
00:06:47,787 --> 00:06:51,387
Speaker 3: Can you take momentum and confidence from series wins in

133
00:06:51,467 --> 00:06:53,107
Speaker 3: white ball cricket and to test matches?

134
00:06:54,827 --> 00:06:56,067
Speaker 8: Absolutely, I think you can.

135
00:06:56,307 --> 00:06:59,347
Speaker 7: I think it's really you know, sort of maintains a mindset,

136
00:06:59,387 --> 00:07:02,387
Speaker 7: you know, so you're building on the positivity and the

137
00:07:02,467 --> 00:07:06,147
Speaker 7: confidence from one format to the next will be it

138
00:07:06,227 --> 00:07:09,347
Speaker 7: the They are very different, but I suppose the collective

139
00:07:09,427 --> 00:07:13,107
Speaker 7: confidence sort of sits, you know, at a deeper level,

140
00:07:13,147 --> 00:07:15,227
Speaker 7: and that's that's what we'd look to carry forward.

141
00:07:15,427 --> 00:07:17,027
Speaker 3: All right, Let's look at the squad you have named

142
00:07:17,027 --> 00:07:19,147
Speaker 3: for these test matches. A couple of guys who aren't there,

143
00:07:19,547 --> 00:07:22,627
Speaker 3: Kyle Jamison and Glenn Phillip's not considered as part of

144
00:07:22,707 --> 00:07:26,747
Speaker 3: a managed red ball return to play plan. Now, we

145
00:07:26,827 --> 00:07:28,787
Speaker 3: saw Kyle play the T twenty and fifty over games

146
00:07:28,827 --> 00:07:31,027
Speaker 3: against the Windys. Do you just feel as though he's

147
00:07:31,027 --> 00:07:33,827
Speaker 3: still short of readiness for the longer form.

148
00:07:35,187 --> 00:07:37,747
Speaker 7: Yeah, we got to know, just be smart with regards

149
00:07:37,747 --> 00:07:40,507
Speaker 7: so how we managed Kyle. Obviously he's coming back from

150
00:07:40,547 --> 00:07:44,107
Speaker 7: a fairly long Level three injury and you know, we're

151
00:07:44,147 --> 00:07:46,147
Speaker 7: just really enjoying the fact that he was able to

152
00:07:46,187 --> 00:07:48,627
Speaker 7: put back to back games together through the tea to

153
00:07:48,667 --> 00:07:51,547
Speaker 7: any series and Ody Eyes and so now it's just

154
00:07:51,587 --> 00:07:54,107
Speaker 7: about being smart as to what the next step looks

155
00:07:54,187 --> 00:07:55,867
Speaker 7: like and we'll you know, we'll just sort of tick

156
00:07:55,947 --> 00:07:59,107
Speaker 7: the boxes as they come and if that leaves us,

157
00:07:59,267 --> 00:08:01,107
Speaker 7: you know, with him running onto the field for Test

158
00:08:01,107 --> 00:08:03,507
Speaker 7: matches again, then brilliant. But as I said, you know,

159
00:08:03,547 --> 00:08:06,027
Speaker 7: as far as far as far more important as obviously

160
00:08:06,067 --> 00:08:08,507
Speaker 7: taking care of him as a cricketer and also the

161
00:08:08,547 --> 00:08:10,547
Speaker 7: longer term picture. You know, he's a massive part of

162
00:08:10,587 --> 00:08:13,427
Speaker 7: our teams across all formats, so we want to make

163
00:08:13,427 --> 00:08:15,307
Speaker 7: sure we you know, we do right by that decision.

164
00:08:15,547 --> 00:08:18,387
Speaker 3: And Glenn Phillips he played Plunket shill throw Tiger last week.

165
00:08:18,387 --> 00:08:20,147
Speaker 3: He's in the middle of a match again right now,

166
00:08:20,147 --> 00:08:22,707
Speaker 3: getting runs and wickets, which I'm sure you're happy about,

167
00:08:22,707 --> 00:08:24,747
Speaker 3: but just still a bit too soon for his return

168
00:08:25,147 --> 00:08:26,587
Speaker 3: for Test matches as well.

169
00:08:27,467 --> 00:08:30,627
Speaker 7: Yeah, again, you know, obviously GB had a long layoff

170
00:08:31,187 --> 00:08:33,347
Speaker 7: and that injury sort.

171
00:08:33,147 --> 00:08:34,627
Speaker 8: Of kept him out of the game for a fair

172
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:35,347
Speaker 8: period of time.

173
00:08:35,427 --> 00:08:38,627
Speaker 7: So you know, we've worked well, he's worked really hard

174
00:08:38,267 --> 00:08:42,147
Speaker 7: to get himself back to one hundred percent and again

175
00:08:42,307 --> 00:08:44,907
Speaker 7: just you know, his inclusion in these plunket Hill games

176
00:08:44,947 --> 00:08:48,067
Speaker 7: as part of just ticking off boxes loading and make

177
00:08:48,107 --> 00:08:49,547
Speaker 7: sure he's loading properly.

178
00:08:49,307 --> 00:08:50,867
Speaker 8: Especially the specific injury.

179
00:08:51,587 --> 00:08:53,467
Speaker 7: So he got through the first game and then into

180
00:08:53,507 --> 00:08:55,507
Speaker 7: the second game and done really nice, which is great

181
00:08:55,507 --> 00:08:57,987
Speaker 7: to see, but also left him two days out from

182
00:08:58,067 --> 00:09:01,347
Speaker 7: a from a test match starting, so you know, it

183
00:09:01,467 --> 00:09:03,747
Speaker 7: was difficult to make a decision for the first test

184
00:09:03,787 --> 00:09:05,507
Speaker 7: match given that we you know, we still needed to

185
00:09:05,507 --> 00:09:07,547
Speaker 7: see him get through a funk a shield game. So

186
00:09:09,027 --> 00:09:11,067
Speaker 7: you know, again just trying to do the right thing

187
00:09:11,107 --> 00:09:13,307
Speaker 7: from a management point of view, really trying to trying

188
00:09:13,307 --> 00:09:16,507
Speaker 7: to take care of our players and ensure their longevity

189
00:09:16,507 --> 00:09:18,747
Speaker 7: out there rather than just one game at a time.

190
00:09:18,987 --> 00:09:20,667
Speaker 3: Just before we move from those two, do you expect

191
00:09:20,667 --> 00:09:23,347
Speaker 3: them both to be in contention for international white ball

192
00:09:23,387 --> 00:09:25,907
Speaker 3: cricket after Christmas? All things going well of course, and

193
00:09:26,187 --> 00:09:28,787
Speaker 3: leading into the T twenty World Cup. Both both Jamison

194
00:09:28,867 --> 00:09:29,467
Speaker 3: and Phillips.

195
00:09:29,867 --> 00:09:33,427
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, we'd, we'd we'd be certainly focusing on that,

196
00:09:33,867 --> 00:09:36,227
Speaker 7: and obviously things can go wrong, but at this.

197
00:09:36,307 --> 00:09:38,587
Speaker 8: Stage we're all looking pretty positive for that.

198
00:09:38,827 --> 00:09:39,307
Speaker 4: Good to hear.

199
00:09:39,627 --> 00:09:41,867
Speaker 3: Back to the Test squad, Tom Blundle is the only

200
00:09:41,947 --> 00:09:44,467
Speaker 3: wicket keeper you've named. Were you attempted to include a

201
00:09:44,467 --> 00:09:45,467
Speaker 3: backup in your squad?

202
00:09:47,107 --> 00:09:49,547
Speaker 7: I suppose if something happened, you know, we did have

203
00:09:49,627 --> 00:09:52,027
Speaker 7: Devin there. You know, we do have Tommy Laith, you know,

204
00:09:52,067 --> 00:09:54,347
Speaker 7: who could take the gloves if it came to that,

205
00:09:54,547 --> 00:09:57,987
Speaker 7: and if we needed a short term replacement. But then

206
00:09:58,547 --> 00:10:01,307
Speaker 7: obviously the time between games allows us to bring someone

207
00:10:01,347 --> 00:10:04,587
Speaker 7: else in if we needed to replacefully, so to carry

208
00:10:04,587 --> 00:10:07,347
Speaker 7: one in the squad probably not necessary given that you

209
00:10:07,427 --> 00:10:09,107
Speaker 7: do have guys who can't take the gloves.

210
00:10:09,147 --> 00:10:12,267
Speaker 8: This need be that or actually keepers.

211
00:10:11,827 --> 00:10:14,347
Speaker 3: And Kane Williamson back on the side after missing the

212
00:10:14,347 --> 00:10:18,187
Speaker 3: Test series in Zimbabwe over our winter, he's recently announced

213
00:10:18,187 --> 00:10:21,827
Speaker 3: his retirement from international T twenty cricket. Do you feel

214
00:10:22,227 --> 00:10:24,547
Speaker 3: confident Robbie's got a couple more years of Test cricket

215
00:10:24,627 --> 00:10:27,227
Speaker 3: left in him.

216
00:10:27,347 --> 00:10:30,467
Speaker 7: I mean, look at our conversations really have just been about,

217
00:10:30,667 --> 00:10:32,667
Speaker 7: you know, sort of this series that's in front of

218
00:10:32,747 --> 00:10:35,707
Speaker 7: us and taking care of that. I know he just

219
00:10:35,747 --> 00:10:38,907
Speaker 7: wants to focus on getting out there in the whites

220
00:10:38,947 --> 00:10:42,187
Speaker 7: and really delivering some good performances for the team out

221
00:10:42,227 --> 00:10:44,507
Speaker 7: of these three Test matches and then you know, the

222
00:10:44,587 --> 00:10:47,587
Speaker 7: next international cricket after that is a fair way away.

223
00:10:47,667 --> 00:10:50,667
Speaker 7: So we will get through these three Test matches first,

224
00:10:51,707 --> 00:10:54,467
Speaker 7: and as Kane has said himself, you know around his

225
00:10:54,547 --> 00:10:57,427
Speaker 7: t training decision is there's obviously different elements of his

226
00:10:57,547 --> 00:11:00,267
Speaker 7: life now that Estcon City is dedicated to this team

227
00:11:00,267 --> 00:11:04,467
Speaker 7: for fifteen years, and there's obviously different considerations for him now.

228
00:11:04,547 --> 00:11:06,187
Speaker 8: So you know, for me, it's.

229
00:11:06,067 --> 00:11:09,107
Speaker 7: Really allowing him to work through that and whatever the

230
00:11:09,147 --> 00:11:12,147
Speaker 7: future looks like and then will you know, we'll sort

231
00:11:12,147 --> 00:11:15,547
Speaker 7: of respect his decisions with that. So yeah, as I said,

232
00:11:15,587 --> 00:11:17,747
Speaker 7: I mean, the next Test matches are in June in

233
00:11:17,787 --> 00:11:20,507
Speaker 7: the UK, so it's a fair chunk of time away from.

234
00:11:20,347 --> 00:11:20,907
Speaker 4: That, it is.

235
00:11:20,947 --> 00:11:23,227
Speaker 3: But then I don't know, I mean, I'm not sure

236
00:11:23,307 --> 00:11:25,627
Speaker 3: we can get inside his head, but there are some

237
00:11:25,747 --> 00:11:28,547
Speaker 3: exciting red ball series coming up England, as you mentioned,

238
00:11:28,587 --> 00:11:32,427
Speaker 3: India and then Australia. I don't know I'd feel tempted.

239
00:11:32,547 --> 00:11:35,627
Speaker 3: I'm not king Williamson, But I feel tempted by Test

240
00:11:35,667 --> 00:11:37,907
Speaker 3: series like that. Do you think he's got his eyes

241
00:11:37,947 --> 00:11:41,347
Speaker 3: on a pretty exciting twelve to fifteen months of red

242
00:11:41,387 --> 00:11:42,267
Speaker 3: ball cricketer ahead.

243
00:11:43,387 --> 00:11:45,587
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think everyone would look at the Test matches

244
00:11:45,627 --> 00:11:50,907
Speaker 7: and feel that it's a pretty exciting proposition. But again, really,

245
00:11:51,307 --> 00:11:53,627
Speaker 7: as you said, you know, I'm not in kind either.

246
00:11:53,667 --> 00:11:58,347
Speaker 7: Obviously we speak regularly about about various things. And obviously

247
00:11:58,387 --> 00:12:01,067
Speaker 7: he's been the leader of this team beard as a

248
00:12:01,107 --> 00:12:03,067
Speaker 7: captain or as just a leader, for a very long

249
00:12:03,107 --> 00:12:05,987
Speaker 7: period of time and probably has ticked off a few

250
00:12:05,987 --> 00:12:08,707
Speaker 7: of the Test series that a lot of the other

251
00:12:08,747 --> 00:12:12,467
Speaker 7: guys haven't, you know, so, but still it's still exciting,

252
00:12:12,507 --> 00:12:15,587
Speaker 7: you know, whichever way, like that's an exciting eighteen months

253
00:12:15,627 --> 00:12:17,827
Speaker 7: of Test Creed in particular, as you say, you know

254
00:12:17,907 --> 00:12:19,747
Speaker 7: that our sort of bucket list things for a lot

255
00:12:19,787 --> 00:12:20,307
Speaker 7: of plays.

256
00:12:20,627 --> 00:12:22,827
Speaker 4: The wickets in New Zealand always a bit harder to

257
00:12:22,907 --> 00:12:27,227
Speaker 4: predict before Christmas. What are you expecting from the pictures

258
00:12:27,307 --> 00:12:31,747
Speaker 4: at these three Test venues against the Windys?

259
00:12:31,827 --> 00:12:35,707
Speaker 7: I suppose you know, there's tended to be a fairly

260
00:12:35,787 --> 00:12:40,747
Speaker 7: sort of consistent personality for in particular Hagley and the

261
00:12:40,787 --> 00:12:45,587
Speaker 7: basin that means slightly changed here and there, but largely

262
00:12:45,587 --> 00:12:48,467
Speaker 7: we're just hoping for the conditions that we know and

263
00:12:48,547 --> 00:12:50,307
Speaker 7: understand of our venues.

264
00:12:50,347 --> 00:12:50,507
Speaker 8: You know.

265
00:12:50,587 --> 00:12:53,307
Speaker 7: That's I guess that is what home ground advantage is.

266
00:12:53,347 --> 00:12:55,827
Speaker 7: You know, it's just the knowledge of how the decks

267
00:12:55,867 --> 00:12:59,147
Speaker 7: generally play, so really hoping for the same, you know,

268
00:12:59,267 --> 00:13:01,227
Speaker 7: for them to keep their character and for us to

269
00:13:01,627 --> 00:13:05,307
Speaker 7: understand exactly what's in front of us, and having played

270
00:13:05,387 --> 00:13:08,027
Speaker 7: and been really successful at those ends as well.

271
00:13:08,747 --> 00:13:10,387
Speaker 4: Just back to the T twenty game, A lot of

272
00:13:10,387 --> 00:13:13,107
Speaker 4: discussion at the moment about the domestic competition here.

273
00:13:13,747 --> 00:13:17,627
Speaker 3: What's your view on how well the current domestic competition

274
00:13:17,787 --> 00:13:21,307
Speaker 3: prepares players for international T twenty cricket.

275
00:13:23,627 --> 00:13:25,947
Speaker 7: Well, I think, to be honest, I think our T

276
00:13:26,107 --> 00:13:30,147
Speaker 7: twenty competition is sort of undervalued in terms of the

277
00:13:30,187 --> 00:13:33,587
Speaker 7: quality of it. I think for the most part, the

278
00:13:33,627 --> 00:13:37,507
Speaker 7: standard is very high. Probably the missing piece in the

279
00:13:37,507 --> 00:13:40,907
Speaker 7: puzzle is obviously the high quality overseas professionals, which other

280
00:13:41,547 --> 00:13:46,427
Speaker 7: T twenty leagues does have, and so you would expect

281
00:13:46,427 --> 00:13:49,387
Speaker 7: it that raises the quality of the competition a little.

282
00:13:49,427 --> 00:13:51,707
Speaker 7: And then also there's the experience of those players that

283
00:13:51,787 --> 00:13:52,347
Speaker 7: come into the.

284
00:13:52,347 --> 00:13:54,827
Speaker 8: Change room and the impact that has.

285
00:13:54,867 --> 00:13:56,907
Speaker 7: But for the most part, I think we've got a

286
00:13:56,987 --> 00:14:00,987
Speaker 7: very very strong domestic competition that obviously could be stronger.

287
00:14:01,067 --> 00:14:03,027
Speaker 8: I mean we've benaive not to think that it could.

288
00:14:03,627 --> 00:14:06,307
Speaker 3: So in that regard, and you talk about there's international

289
00:14:06,907 --> 00:14:09,907
Speaker 3: for that reason, do you do you like the idea

290
00:14:09,907 --> 00:14:13,147
Speaker 3: of a potential franchise model for our T twenty game here?

291
00:14:14,667 --> 00:14:17,427
Speaker 7: I mean, to be honest, I just want what's best,

292
00:14:17,467 --> 00:14:19,787
Speaker 7: you know, if one for the players and ultimately for

293
00:14:19,827 --> 00:14:21,867
Speaker 7: the Black Apps, and there's obviously talk.

294
00:14:21,747 --> 00:14:23,067
Speaker 8: Of different ways to do that.

295
00:14:23,187 --> 00:14:26,267
Speaker 7: I suppose in essence that's what the deloittte sort of

296
00:14:26,427 --> 00:14:30,547
Speaker 7: into the investigation around what's the most feasible and best

297
00:14:30,547 --> 00:14:33,267
Speaker 7: for our cricket is for you know, so you could

298
00:14:33,307 --> 00:14:36,747
Speaker 7: sit and deliberate, I suppose many different options. I always

299
00:14:36,787 --> 00:14:39,747
Speaker 7: come back to just what's best for cricket and cricketers

300
00:14:39,787 --> 00:14:40,467
Speaker 7: in our country.

301
00:14:40,907 --> 00:14:42,587
Speaker 4: And you've been in the role of head coach for

302
00:14:42,627 --> 00:14:45,507
Speaker 4: six months now, are you enjoying yourself? Yeah?

303
00:14:45,627 --> 00:14:45,987
Speaker 2: Loving it?

304
00:14:46,027 --> 00:14:47,627
Speaker 8: Eh? I mean what's not to love? Really?

305
00:14:47,947 --> 00:14:48,147
Speaker 5: Yeah?

306
00:14:48,627 --> 00:14:51,667
Speaker 7: So yeah, I mean international cricket and coaching at this level.

307
00:14:51,707 --> 00:14:54,627
Speaker 7: But also you know, it's sort of a wonderful environment

308
00:14:54,667 --> 00:14:55,747
Speaker 7: and wonderful group.

309
00:14:55,547 --> 00:14:58,547
Speaker 8: Of guys that get on well.

310
00:14:58,587 --> 00:15:00,627
Speaker 7: But you know, I'm hungry to play for their country.

311
00:15:00,707 --> 00:15:04,347
Speaker 7: So it's it's really been a great six or six or.

312
00:15:04,267 --> 00:15:05,067
Speaker 8: Seven months so far.

313
00:15:05,187 --> 00:15:05,587
Speaker 4: Good stuff.

314
00:15:05,587 --> 00:15:07,227
Speaker 3: For well, we saw the for just Ashes test the

315
00:15:07,267 --> 00:15:09,027
Speaker 3: other day finish inside two days.

316
00:15:09,187 --> 00:15:10,627
Speaker 4: What did you What did you make of that?

317
00:15:12,467 --> 00:15:17,467
Speaker 7: Well, I certainly that our's last a bit longer. But yeah, yep,

318
00:15:18,147 --> 00:15:22,507
Speaker 7: so if entertainments you're seeing, then you would have been entertained.

319
00:15:22,547 --> 00:15:23,827
Speaker 8: There's been no doubt about that.

320
00:15:24,027 --> 00:15:27,467
Speaker 7: So we just hopefully entertained the crafts for a little

321
00:15:27,507 --> 00:15:29,187
Speaker 7: bit longer than two days.

322
00:15:29,267 --> 00:15:29,947
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's hope.

323
00:15:29,987 --> 00:15:31,987
Speaker 3: So all right, I look forward to to three test

324
00:15:31,987 --> 00:15:34,827
Speaker 3: matches before Christmas and christ Jitch Wellington and Mount Monging

325

Speaker 3: all the best for these for these three tests in

327
00:15:38,587 --> 00:15:39,307
Speaker 3: the next little while.

328
00:15:39,907 --> 00:15:41,227
Speaker 8: No way is Jason's taken it.

329
00:15:41,267 --> 00:15:43,027
Speaker 3: No you take care to Rob thinks in Dave, Rob Walter.

330
00:15:43,067 --> 00:15:45,467
Speaker 3: They're black Caps coach O eight one hundred and eighty

331
00:15:45,507 --> 00:15:46,947
Speaker 3: ten are I just want to read your pulse on

332
00:15:46,987 --> 00:15:51,107
Speaker 3: this first day of summer tomorrow, first day of the

333
00:15:51,147 --> 00:15:55,227
Speaker 3: first test on Tuesday, these test matches have been crammed

334
00:15:55,227 --> 00:15:57,427
Speaker 3: in a bit, haven't they before Christmas? And there's no

335
00:15:57,507 --> 00:16:01,227
Speaker 3: test cricket for us after Christmas. I still hope that

336
00:16:01,227 --> 00:16:06,667
Speaker 3: that isn't the norm moving forward, depending on what hows

337
00:16:06,667 --> 00:16:09,067
Speaker 3: worth n Z twenty. If that was to come in,

338
00:16:09,507 --> 00:16:14,187
Speaker 3: for example, and take up the January window, I still

339
00:16:14,187 --> 00:16:16,187
Speaker 3: would hope that there would be Test cricket in February

340
00:16:16,187 --> 00:16:17,947
Speaker 3: March back endo of the summer. Like there's always been

341
00:16:17,987 --> 00:16:20,947
Speaker 3: pretty much you know, yes, ye you play some, you

342
00:16:20,987 --> 00:16:22,827
Speaker 3: play some white ball, but there's always test cricket to

343
00:16:22,827 --> 00:16:24,627
Speaker 3: look forward to. It kind of book both ends of

344
00:16:24,627 --> 00:16:26,387
Speaker 3: the summer. This end of the summer and then sort

345
00:16:26,427 --> 00:16:29,347
Speaker 3: of February March as well. That isn't the case next year,

346
00:16:31,067 --> 00:16:32,947
Speaker 3: but I hope that there is some to enjoy in

347
00:16:33,427 --> 00:16:35,587
Speaker 3: years ahead. A big year coming up. Test matches in

348
00:16:35,627 --> 00:16:38,507
Speaker 3: England middle of next year, India come here at the

349
00:16:38,507 --> 00:16:40,947
Speaker 3: front end of next summer, then we go to Australia,

350
00:16:41,067 --> 00:16:43,467
Speaker 3: some big, big test matches coming up. I'm keen to

351
00:16:43,587 --> 00:16:46,707
Speaker 3: know how big the group is that I'm a part

352
00:16:46,787 --> 00:16:50,947
Speaker 3: of Test cricket fans, how many of us still exist?

353
00:16:51,827 --> 00:16:54,067
Speaker 3: I eight hundred and eighty ten eighty with more and

354
00:16:54,147 --> 00:16:57,627
Speaker 3: more white ball cricket being played and new followers to

355
00:16:57,667 --> 00:17:01,467
Speaker 3: the game of cricket mainly being attracted in that fashion.

356
00:17:01,827 --> 00:17:04,587
Speaker 3: There's always ongoing discussion about the relevance of Test matches,

357
00:17:04,627 --> 00:17:08,067
Speaker 3: but a large number of players you speak to will

358
00:17:08,107 --> 00:17:11,827
Speaker 3: tell you how important Test cricket is for them. And

359
00:17:11,867 --> 00:17:14,627
Speaker 3: a great example of this is rich and Revender, absolute

360
00:17:14,707 --> 00:17:20,227
Speaker 3: all format player, but he always talks about how important

361
00:17:20,267 --> 00:17:22,867
Speaker 3: Test cricket is to him. And he is not in

362
00:17:22,907 --> 00:17:26,427
Speaker 3: the minority. These guys are realists, of course they are.

363
00:17:26,467 --> 00:17:29,627
Speaker 3: They know they need to be playing franchise cricket to

364
00:17:29,627 --> 00:17:33,547
Speaker 3: maximize their income, but Test cricket still has a special

365
00:17:33,627 --> 00:17:34,827
Speaker 3: place for them.

366
00:17:35,067 --> 00:17:35,787
Speaker 4: So what about you.

367
00:17:36,627 --> 00:17:39,747
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that you should be, you know, absolutely

368
00:17:39,947 --> 00:17:42,627
Speaker 3: on the edge of your seat, hardly able to sleep

369
00:17:42,867 --> 00:17:45,747
Speaker 3: in anticipation of a three Test series against the West Indies.

370
00:17:45,787 --> 00:17:49,307
Speaker 3: But are you looking forward to it? Is it something

371
00:17:49,307 --> 00:17:52,347
Speaker 3: that's on your radar? And how big is this group

372
00:17:52,347 --> 00:17:55,027
Speaker 3: of us Test cricket fans David.

373
00:17:54,747 --> 00:18:00,227
Speaker 9: I mate Jays yet Jason Sarah, Yes, no very much.

374
00:18:00,307 --> 00:18:02,907
Speaker 9: So you're still a Test cricket fan? How much of

375
00:18:02,947 --> 00:18:05,627
Speaker 9: an interest in the series? And I'm still working to

376
00:18:05,907 --> 00:18:10,947
Speaker 9: cursor during the day, if you get my drift. But yeah,

377
00:18:11,547 --> 00:18:13,587
Speaker 9: the West Indie is not a great call. At least

378
00:18:13,627 --> 00:18:15,387
Speaker 9: twenty twenty six is going to be better for Test

379
00:18:15,427 --> 00:18:17,987
Speaker 9: cricket than the Zelm's point of view, and it's good

380
00:18:17,987 --> 00:18:20,587
Speaker 9: news that Williamson's going to be available for that whole year.

381
00:18:22,627 --> 00:18:25,267
Speaker 9: So I was looking at this the other day. He's

382
00:18:25,747 --> 00:18:29,427
Speaker 9: three or four hundred runs away from ten thousand. He

383
00:18:30,027 --> 00:18:32,747
Speaker 9: probably maybe rather than to would be the only other

384
00:18:32,787 --> 00:18:35,267
Speaker 9: New Zealander it's likely to ever get that far. So

385
00:18:35,427 --> 00:18:37,987
Speaker 9: I just hope that came. Williamson can from that point

386
00:18:38,027 --> 00:18:40,347
Speaker 9: of view, and if he can get runs against the

387
00:18:40,347 --> 00:18:42,667
Speaker 9: Western he's a freebies almost and then you've got the

388
00:18:42,667 --> 00:18:46,227
Speaker 9: big ones next year a Test cricket. You're right it is.

389
00:18:46,267 --> 00:18:49,227
Speaker 9: And I mean you talk about the poems, Well, I'll

390
00:18:49,267 --> 00:18:51,987
Speaker 9: tell you what You'll know by Thursday night next week,

391
00:18:52,147 --> 00:18:54,987
Speaker 9: Day one of that Test matched together as the poems

392
00:18:54,987 --> 00:18:57,307
Speaker 9: have got, any hope, because I've had bail on day

393
00:18:57,347 --> 00:19:02,387
Speaker 9: one with battle Ball I finished and yeah, you can't

394
00:19:02,387 --> 00:19:07,627
Speaker 9: be Test cricket, you know that. I just think, Yeah,

395
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:10,307
Speaker 9: the Western is not great. I mean, this is the

396
00:19:10,347 --> 00:19:13,507
Speaker 9: problem with this World Championship at the moment. Unfortunately, you

397
00:19:13,507 --> 00:19:15,747
Speaker 9: look at South Africa, they're only going to play in

398
00:19:15,787 --> 00:19:19,147
Speaker 9: this next two year period. I look at this the

399
00:19:19,147 --> 00:19:20,827
Speaker 9: other day on the chat, they're only going to play

400
00:19:21,107 --> 00:19:26,147
Speaker 9: fourteen Test matches and they're all two Test series and

401
00:19:26,227 --> 00:19:28,587
Speaker 9: so test cricket they don't play a great deal of it.

402
00:19:28,667 --> 00:19:30,387
Speaker 9: But they're going to end up in the World Championship

403
00:19:30,387 --> 00:19:34,307
Speaker 9: Final purely and simply because they've won two away series

404
00:19:34,347 --> 00:19:38,907
Speaker 9: now and so there's one thing cemented in Australia is

405
00:19:38,947 --> 00:19:40,187
Speaker 9: probably likely to be the other.

406
00:19:41,507 --> 00:19:44,947
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm so as you say, with the Test matches, yeah,

407
00:19:45,067 --> 00:19:48,027
Speaker 3: the Western these ones here, I'm obviously interested in it.

408
00:19:48,107 --> 00:19:49,707
Speaker 3: But like you as well, I mean having a Test

409
00:19:49,707 --> 00:19:51,427
Speaker 3: match starting on a tuesdays a odd too. I know

410
00:19:51,467 --> 00:19:53,187
Speaker 3: they've got to cram them in, but you know it

411
00:19:53,227 --> 00:19:55,587
Speaker 3: mightn't even make the weekend. But yeah, that's see candacious

412
00:19:55,627 --> 00:19:57,987
Speaker 3: test pinball test as well, David, as you know, you're right.

413
00:19:58,027 --> 00:20:00,027
Speaker 3: I mean we could have another two day Test and

414
00:20:00,067 --> 00:20:02,147
Speaker 3: as Andy said yesterday, we could get through two Test

415
00:20:02,187 --> 00:20:06,067
Speaker 3: matches of the series and still have enough days unused

416
00:20:06,107 --> 00:20:06,867
Speaker 3: for an other Test.

417
00:20:09,427 --> 00:20:12,227
Speaker 9: I'll tell you from the because i'd send right at

418
00:20:12,267 --> 00:20:14,747
Speaker 9: the beginning of the problems within the series well that

419
00:20:15,227 --> 00:20:17,347
Speaker 9: you just didn't expect that first Test match the way

420
00:20:17,387 --> 00:20:21,707
Speaker 9: it was. But they if they can't win in Brucebane,

421
00:20:21,907 --> 00:20:25,587
Speaker 9: it's over. And as I say, with a day night

422
00:20:25,667 --> 00:20:29,947
Speaker 9: Test match, you pretty much know straight away, how do

423
00:20:30,067 --> 00:20:32,547
Speaker 9: I see that'll be for them? End of the day.

424
00:20:32,587 --> 00:20:35,787
Speaker 9: One will know Thursday night at about it midnighteties an

425
00:20:35,827 --> 00:20:36,227
Speaker 9: all time.

426
00:20:36,747 --> 00:20:37,547
Speaker 4: We will take it.

427
00:20:37,587 --> 00:20:39,307
Speaker 3: Good to jet to you mate, Let's keep in touch

428
00:20:39,307 --> 00:20:41,467
Speaker 3: over December matters this Test series rolls out.

429
00:20:41,587 --> 00:20:42,587
Speaker 4: I'm a bit like you.

430
00:20:42,627 --> 00:20:44,467
Speaker 3: I think the West Indies are a little bit of

431
00:20:44,467 --> 00:20:48,387
Speaker 3: an underwhelming opposition. We know what their current state of

432
00:20:48,387 --> 00:20:51,387
Speaker 3: cricket is. It's very much whitewall focused. You think about

433
00:20:51,427 --> 00:20:53,827
Speaker 3: the West Indies and again I'm getting misty eyed here,

434
00:20:53,867 --> 00:20:56,347
Speaker 3: but the West Indies teams of the eighties in particular.

435
00:20:57,147 --> 00:20:58,547
Speaker 3: I remember when the West Indies.

436
00:20:58,307 --> 00:21:00,107
Speaker 4: Came here and I think was eighty five eighty six

437
00:21:00,147 --> 00:21:05,107
Speaker 4: around that time, and they were just formidable, you know

438
00:21:05,187 --> 00:21:13,347
Speaker 4: that team Greenner, Chains, Richards, Logi, calatch Iran you know,

439
00:21:13,507 --> 00:21:15,947
Speaker 4: and these you know, and these are just douchon and

440
00:21:15,987 --> 00:21:18,427
Speaker 4: these are just the batters. And then if you got them.

441
00:21:18,267 --> 00:21:21,267
Speaker 3: Out, if you got them out, then you had to

442
00:21:21,307 --> 00:21:26,747
Speaker 3: go in and face the fearsome fast bowlers at their

443
00:21:26,787 --> 00:21:32,507
Speaker 3: disposal Marshall Garner holding Croft. I mean they were just

444
00:21:32,787 --> 00:21:37,667
Speaker 3: you know Patrick Patterson who was quicker than all of them.

445
00:21:37,787 --> 00:21:39,747
Speaker 3: And you know now you look, you look at the

446
00:21:39,747 --> 00:21:42,267
Speaker 3: West Indies test side now and those who were followed

447
00:21:42,587 --> 00:21:45,867
Speaker 3: test cricket for you know, the last thirty or forty years.

448
00:21:45,907 --> 00:21:50,067
Speaker 3: And remember you know the Calypso Kings of the eighties.

449
00:21:51,187 --> 00:21:53,747
Speaker 3: You know, there's absolutely no comparison to the team now,

450
00:21:55,307 --> 00:21:58,667
Speaker 3: but test matches are test matches. Grant with you in

451
00:21:58,747 --> 00:22:00,227
Speaker 3: just a sec matees spearline there if you want to

452
00:22:00,267 --> 00:22:02,307

458
00:22:16,307 --> 00:22:18,907
Speaker 3: Test cricket fans assemble, keen to chat to you about

459
00:22:18,907 --> 00:22:21,507
Speaker 3: the Red bullstaff masters. I'm standing here holding my hand

460
00:22:21,547 --> 00:22:23,907
Speaker 3: up Piney. I just want better opposition, that's all. Let's

461
00:22:23,907 --> 00:22:25,747
Speaker 3: see how the Windys go, they might not be as

462
00:22:25,747 --> 00:22:28,347
Speaker 3: bad as we think, Luke says Piney, I'm pumped for

463
00:22:28,387 --> 00:22:31,707
Speaker 3: the white clothing. The first ashes tears probably heightened it

464
00:22:31,707 --> 00:22:34,347
Speaker 3: for me. Glad to park the rugby and settle in

465
00:22:34,467 --> 00:22:36,227
Speaker 3: for full days of cricket for the summer.

466
00:22:36,307 --> 00:22:36,787
Speaker 4: Yeah, me too.

467
00:22:36,827 --> 00:22:40,027
Speaker 3: Look, unfortunately, what I'm hearing is that the forecast in

468
00:22:40,107 --> 00:22:45,067
Speaker 3: christ Church ain't great. Twenty four hours of rain in

469
00:22:45,067 --> 00:22:47,987
Speaker 3: the forecast on Wednesday, the Test starts on Tuesday.

470
00:22:48,867 --> 00:22:49,467
Speaker 4: Well they might not.

471
00:22:49,507 --> 00:22:51,147
Speaker 3: I mean, if history is anything to go by and

472
00:22:51,267 --> 00:22:53,867
Speaker 3: current trends are to be believed, and I think they are,

473
00:22:54,027 --> 00:22:56,067
Speaker 3: we might not need the five days. You know, we

474
00:22:57,067 --> 00:22:59,427
Speaker 3: could probably get away with a day or two missing

475
00:22:59,427 --> 00:23:03,707
Speaker 3: from rain. Grant you'd be a Test cricket fan, Yes.

476
00:23:03,627 --> 00:23:07,147
Speaker 10: Yes, definitely, although I have to say these people that

477
00:23:07,227 --> 00:23:10,027
Speaker 10: I like all three formats, So I'm not one of

478
00:23:10,107 --> 00:23:12,427
Speaker 10: these people that when I'm watching one of the formats,

479
00:23:12,627 --> 00:23:14,867
Speaker 10: I think, oh I wish I was watching the other format.

480
00:23:14,947 --> 00:23:17,747
Speaker 10: You know, I just want to get into whatever format

481
00:23:18,747 --> 00:23:21,347
Speaker 10: is going. And okay that the West and these aren't

482
00:23:21,867 --> 00:23:25,947
Speaker 10: and like the Glory Days, so we're in the nineteen eighties,

483
00:23:26,187 --> 00:23:29,387
Speaker 10: but then they are better than that. A few years

484
00:23:29,387 --> 00:23:31,787
Speaker 10: ago when they were sort of struggling to get into

485
00:23:31,827 --> 00:23:34,787
Speaker 10: the top eight Test playing nations, and I thought the

486
00:23:36,107 --> 00:23:39,667
Speaker 10: demise of cricket almost a quest of the demise of

487
00:23:39,667 --> 00:23:40,387
Speaker 10: Welsh rugby.

488
00:23:41,667 --> 00:23:44,107
Speaker 4: I don't mention Walsh rug but did you see that?

489
00:23:44,387 --> 00:23:47,627
Speaker 4: Have you seen that scoreline from this morning, Grant against

490
00:23:47,627 --> 00:23:53,667
Speaker 4: South Africa? No, No, seventy three nil they lost. Wales

491
00:23:53,667 --> 00:23:57,467
Speaker 4: have lost get Cardiff seventy three nil to South Africa

492
00:23:57,547 --> 00:24:01,227
Speaker 4: final Test of the year. Thankfully for them, i'd imagine.

493
00:24:01,227 --> 00:24:03,187
Speaker 3: But yeah, like they put up a bit of a

494
00:24:03,187 --> 00:24:06,627
Speaker 3: fight against US last week, but seventy three nil at

495
00:24:06,667 --> 00:24:08,907
Speaker 3: home against admittedly a good side.

496
00:24:10,427 --> 00:24:12,907
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean South Africa, in my opinion, are the

497
00:24:13,387 --> 00:24:18,827
Speaker 10: red hot favorites to win the next World Cup. And yes,

498
00:24:19,467 --> 00:24:24,227
Speaker 10: hopefully Tony Brown, after being a possibly a World Cup

499
00:24:24,267 --> 00:24:30,707
Speaker 10: winning assistant coach in three years time, will join Jamie

500
00:24:30,787 --> 00:24:35,867
Speaker 10: Joseph and this of course razor winners the World Cup,

501
00:24:36,067 --> 00:24:39,147
Speaker 10: in which case maybe we'll offer him another four years.

502
00:24:39,507 --> 00:24:41,747
Speaker 4: Indeed, we won't have any need for Tony Brown or

503
00:24:41,827 --> 00:24:43,587
Speaker 4: Jamie Joseph of that at that stage.

504
00:24:44,027 --> 00:24:44,347
Speaker 5: Grant.

505
00:24:44,507 --> 00:24:46,427
Speaker 3: Anyway, we seem to have gone to a rugby conversation,

506
00:24:46,507 --> 00:24:48,267
Speaker 3: so you are looking forward to the cricket in the

507
00:24:48,387 --> 00:24:51,587
Speaker 3: in the week weeks ahead before Christmas, you'll take in

508
00:24:51,627 --> 00:24:52,067
Speaker 3: some of it.

509
00:24:52,947 --> 00:24:56,947
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, and being three years retired now and with

510
00:24:57,427 --> 00:25:00,827
Speaker 10: the last for three years having I don't have sky,

511
00:25:00,987 --> 00:25:04,467
Speaker 10: so having you know, the Test cricket on three to

512
00:25:04,547 --> 00:25:06,827
Speaker 10: wear TV and this will be of course the last

513
00:25:06,827 --> 00:25:10,987
Speaker 10: three to wear a Test cricket that we'll see. But

514
00:25:11,467 --> 00:25:15,547
Speaker 10: so I'll enjoy it. And yeah, as you're saying about

515
00:25:15,547 --> 00:25:18,307
Speaker 10: the weather, but we only need a maxim the month

516
00:25:18,427 --> 00:25:21,147
Speaker 10: three days for tests these days piny day, So so

517
00:25:21,267 --> 00:25:23,667
Speaker 10: can we get a fine three days somewhere in prist.

518
00:25:23,467 --> 00:25:25,947
Speaker 4: Fish bound to bound to Grant.

519
00:25:25,987 --> 00:25:27,907
Speaker 3: The good people of the Garden City will tell you

520
00:25:28,267 --> 00:25:30,987
Speaker 3: how nice it is usually down there in December. And look,

521
00:25:31,027 --> 00:25:32,587
Speaker 3: even if it does rain on one of the days, yeah,

522
00:25:32,587 --> 00:25:34,947
Speaker 3: we might not need all five. Thanks for your call, mate,

523
00:25:35,067 --> 00:25:37,547
Speaker 3: Steve says Jason. I'm sixty one. In my younger days,

524
00:25:37,547 --> 00:25:39,987
Speaker 3: i'd take a week's annual leave just to watch a

525
00:25:40,027 --> 00:25:42,787
Speaker 3: Test match, pretty much a week on the couch, Steve.

526
00:25:42,827 --> 00:25:44,747
Speaker 3: I love that. I love that look. I've sit off

527
00:25:44,747 --> 00:25:47,347
Speaker 3: and on the show. I could easily spend an entire

528
00:25:47,347 --> 00:25:49,907
Speaker 3: Test match. You're sitting on the bank. I was going

529
00:25:49,987 --> 00:25:51,387
Speaker 3: to say watching it. You know, you watch it on

530
00:25:51,427 --> 00:25:54,267
Speaker 3: and off, right, you don't have to give laser focused

531
00:25:54,267 --> 00:25:58,027
Speaker 3: attention to every delivering in a Test match. But well,

532
00:25:58,067 --> 00:26:00,867
Speaker 3: for me, I mean some of my greatest days of

533
00:26:00,907 --> 00:26:03,907
Speaker 3: my younger years were spent on the basin reserve bank.

534
00:26:04,107 --> 00:26:04,387
Speaker 2: Dobo.

535
00:26:04,507 --> 00:26:05,827
Speaker 4: Hi, mate, you're a Test cricket fan.

536
00:26:07,187 --> 00:26:10,267
Speaker 11: Yes, even had the honor of commentating live on TV

537
00:26:10,347 --> 00:26:11,267
Speaker 11: three for a couple of them.

538
00:26:11,307 --> 00:26:12,387
Speaker 4: So how good.

539
00:26:12,467 --> 00:26:16,667
Speaker 11: What concerns me, Piney is last summer we had three

540
00:26:16,707 --> 00:26:19,627
Speaker 11: Tests against the Plums, and before that we had two

541
00:26:19,627 --> 00:26:21,987
Speaker 11: lots of two. So four Tests this summer we've got

542
00:26:21,987 --> 00:26:24,707
Speaker 11: three against some very weak west INNDY team who had

543
00:26:24,747 --> 00:26:27,667
Speaker 11: not been for some osimous fielding where I think was

544
00:26:27,707 --> 00:26:29,707
Speaker 11: it constantly let the ball through his legs, they would

545
00:26:29,747 --> 00:26:33,347
Speaker 11: have tied our all time low score of twenty sixteen fifties.

546
00:26:33,627 --> 00:26:33,867
Speaker 4: Yep.

547
00:26:35,067 --> 00:26:39,547
Speaker 11: So Weastundees don't offer much. I'm expecting that, unless the

548
00:26:39,587 --> 00:26:43,627
Speaker 11: weather intervenes, will flog them. What's concerning me is that

549
00:26:43,667 --> 00:26:46,747
Speaker 11: there's no home games of any three formats in January,

550
00:26:47,187 --> 00:26:50,027
Speaker 11: no home games of any of all three formats in February.

551
00:26:50,027 --> 00:26:51,707
Speaker 11: We've got to wait till the back end of March

552
00:26:51,787 --> 00:26:54,867
Speaker 11: before we get the South Africans come here. Could you

553
00:26:54,907 --> 00:26:58,387
Speaker 11: imagine all black itinery where Oh sorry, guys, we've got

554
00:26:58,427 --> 00:27:02,507
Speaker 11: no tests in July, no tests in June, no tests

555
00:27:02,547 --> 00:27:05,307
Speaker 11: in August. Sorry, can't help you, because that's what New

556
00:27:05,347 --> 00:27:08,347
Speaker 11: Zealand crickets dished up summer. We had the poms on

557
00:27:08,387 --> 00:27:10,067
Speaker 11: early in the ausies on and most of them were

558
00:27:10,147 --> 00:27:13,107
Speaker 11: rain effect until we get to the odiis that the

559
00:27:13,107 --> 00:27:15,667
Speaker 11: ploms couldn't bat more than forty overs. I think New

560
00:27:15,787 --> 00:27:18,387
Speaker 11: Zealand cricket has short changed the zeal In public so

561
00:27:18,587 --> 00:27:21,787
Speaker 11: badly and this arguably one of the worst summers of

562
00:27:21,827 --> 00:27:26,747
Speaker 11: cricket in New Zealand. We've been fed crumbs and with

563
00:27:26,787 --> 00:27:29,347
Speaker 11: the West Indies it doesn't get any more crummy. For

564
00:27:29,387 --> 00:27:30,907
Speaker 11: these three tests we've got come out.

565
00:27:31,347 --> 00:27:33,147
Speaker 3: Yeah, got on your double. Look I agree mate, And

566
00:27:33,387 --> 00:27:35,227
Speaker 3: look we know there's a Tea twenty World Cup and

567
00:27:35,267 --> 00:27:36,227
Speaker 3: they've got to get ready for that.

568
00:27:36,387 --> 00:27:37,027
Speaker 4: But you're right.

569
00:27:37,227 --> 00:27:39,507
Speaker 3: I'm just looking at the calendar that you've just absolutely

570
00:27:39,587 --> 00:27:45,107
Speaker 3: outlined for us, and yes, after after the third Test

571
00:27:45,187 --> 00:27:47,987
Speaker 3: against the West Indies which finishes just before Christmas, the

572
00:27:48,027 --> 00:27:50,347
Speaker 3: next time we get to see the black Caps on

573
00:27:50,467 --> 00:27:56,187
Speaker 3: home wickets is March the fifteenth, so we're effectively talking

574
00:27:56,507 --> 00:27:58,787
Speaker 3: the best part of three months. Yes, we have to

575
00:27:58,787 --> 00:28:00,707
Speaker 3: get ready for the T twenty World Cup, we know that,

576
00:28:01,227 --> 00:28:05,267
Speaker 3: but I would hope, and I honestly hope this so

577
00:28:05,427 --> 00:28:08,787
Speaker 3: much that we in the years ahead get back to

578
00:28:08,827 --> 00:28:12,387
Speaker 3: the point where we have Test matches in New Zealand

579
00:28:13,107 --> 00:28:17,187
Speaker 3: in February and March. I know n Z twenty or

580
00:28:17,227 --> 00:28:20,827
Speaker 3: whatever form our domestic T twenty competition takes will take

581
00:28:20,947 --> 00:28:26,307
Speaker 3: up January, and that's fine, totally cool with that. T

582
00:28:26,307 --> 00:28:29,187
Speaker 3: twenty cricket and whatever form it takes domestically can have

583
00:28:29,707 --> 00:28:32,747
Speaker 3: Boxing Day through to January thirty one, that's your window.

584
00:28:33,387 --> 00:28:37,267
Speaker 3: But we must, we must have international cricket and preferably

585
00:28:37,347 --> 00:28:40,787
Speaker 3: red balled international cricket in February and March if we

586
00:28:40,827 --> 00:28:43,987
Speaker 3: had to keep this going, Dob be good to chat to. Yep, Rich,

587
00:28:43,987 --> 00:28:46,547
Speaker 3: I knew you'd call mate. How I know you and

588
00:28:46,627 --> 00:28:49,587
Speaker 3: I have talked cricket a lot. What are your levels

589
00:28:49,587 --> 00:28:52,627
Speaker 3: of what are your levels of excitement if that's the

590
00:28:52,707 --> 00:28:55,347
Speaker 3: right word for this West in these Test series.

591
00:28:56,827 --> 00:28:59,307
Speaker 12: I'm still excited. I mean, it's still test cricket. I mean,

592
00:28:59,347 --> 00:29:02,667
Speaker 12: I know people say as the West Indies, what about

593
00:29:02,667 --> 00:29:05,147
Speaker 12: another opposition. I mean the big teams still come out

594
00:29:05,187 --> 00:29:07,987
Speaker 12: here finely. I mean Bet England here last year and

595
00:29:08,107 --> 00:29:08,667
Speaker 12: you know you've we.

596
00:29:08,707 --> 00:29:10,107
Speaker 13: Had Australia or you all that.

597
00:29:10,307 --> 00:29:13,347
Speaker 12: But you know we're just going through that that cycle.

598
00:29:13,387 --> 00:29:16,507
Speaker 12: I mean when you go look at when the ASHES starts,

599
00:29:16,547 --> 00:29:19,427
Speaker 12: it's basically eleven hours of test cricket because you've got

600
00:29:19,467 --> 00:29:21,107
Speaker 12: our test in the day and then you got the

601
00:29:21,107 --> 00:29:23,827
Speaker 12: pickball tests, so there'll be a lot of tight eyes

602
00:29:23,907 --> 00:29:26,227
Speaker 12: as you know, going through work later in the week.

603
00:29:26,387 --> 00:29:30,987
Speaker 12: So yeah, I think I think for me pointing is

604
00:29:31,027 --> 00:29:34,027
Speaker 12: you know this this deal with TV ANDZ, it's been

605
00:29:34,067 --> 00:29:37,907
Speaker 12: great to have test cricket, you know, eyeballs for everyone.

606
00:29:38,387 --> 00:29:42,427
Speaker 12: And I hope that when Sky look at their arrangements

607
00:29:42,427 --> 00:29:44,267
Speaker 12: of TV and said that it's not just the T

608
00:29:44,427 --> 00:29:48,027
Speaker 12: twenty stuff, but you know we're getting something like I

609
00:29:48,067 --> 00:29:51,307
Speaker 12: don't know whether it's a day five, an exciting Day

610
00:29:51,347 --> 00:29:54,067
Speaker 12: five or something like that, but you just think that,

611
00:29:54,187 --> 00:29:56,747
Speaker 12: you know, when we look at how crickets evolved and

612
00:29:57,187 --> 00:29:59,907
Speaker 12: how T twenty is that it's the test cricket that

613
00:30:00,587 --> 00:30:03,587
Speaker 12: needs to be looked after because T twenty looks after itself.

614
00:30:03,707 --> 00:30:07,027
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, that is a great point, right, it will.

615
00:30:07,467 --> 00:30:09,707
Speaker 3: It is now at the point T twenty. I'm not

616
00:30:09,707 --> 00:30:12,147
Speaker 3: telling you or anybody something that you don't already know.

617
00:30:12,147 --> 00:30:12,507
Speaker 4: T twenty.

618
00:30:12,547 --> 00:30:15,107
Speaker 3: You're right, it's now self sustaining. It's so big and

619
00:30:15,147 --> 00:30:16,147
Speaker 3: continuing to get bigger.

620
00:30:16,147 --> 00:30:16,707
Speaker 4: But you're right.

621
00:30:16,947 --> 00:30:21,227
Speaker 3: The preservation of the oldest form of the game has

622
00:30:21,787 --> 00:30:24,027
Speaker 3: to be at the front of mind. And the free

623
00:30:24,027 --> 00:30:27,187
Speaker 3: towaar points are really interesting one. I think all you

624
00:30:27,187 --> 00:30:30,587
Speaker 3: know sports organizations now understand the need for free to

625
00:30:30,587 --> 00:30:33,947
Speaker 3: wear because you know, the exposure of their sport is

626
00:30:34,067 --> 00:30:37,347
Speaker 3: as important as the broadcast dollars they have coming in.

627
00:30:37,427 --> 00:30:39,867
Speaker 3: So that there has to be a split of some

628
00:30:39,947 --> 00:30:41,787
Speaker 3: sort and there has to be free to wear access

629
00:30:41,827 --> 00:30:43,307
Speaker 3: of And I agree with you, not just the odd

630
00:30:43,347 --> 00:30:45,267
Speaker 3: T twenty here and there, but what about I don't know,

631
00:30:45,387 --> 00:30:48,307
Speaker 3: what about the last session of Everyday's test cricket or

632
00:30:48,347 --> 00:30:49,387
Speaker 3: something like that, I don't know.

633
00:30:50,347 --> 00:30:52,467
Speaker 12: Yeah, And when you look at the schedule coming up

634
00:30:52,467 --> 00:30:54,147
Speaker 12: on it, I think the way I see it is

635
00:30:54,187 --> 00:30:58,547
Speaker 12: that October November have tests and it can lead into

636
00:30:58,587 --> 00:31:01,427
Speaker 12: December and you leave January and you know, or the

637
00:31:01,507 --> 00:31:03,747
Speaker 12: end of December for T twenty and then you have

638
00:31:03,827 --> 00:31:07,907
Speaker 12: February March, like you have a tour and that November

639
00:31:08,467 --> 00:31:10,187
Speaker 12: and then you have another tour in that fabra. I

640
00:31:10,187 --> 00:31:12,227
Speaker 12: think that's where we need to be looking about having

641
00:31:12,547 --> 00:31:14,987
Speaker 12: some test matches, So you know, I mean when you

642
00:31:15,027 --> 00:31:18,147
Speaker 12: look at this summer, it is a bit disappointing that

643
00:31:18,187 --> 00:31:20,267
Speaker 12: after this test series for away and then we go

644
00:31:20,307 --> 00:31:21,987
Speaker 12: to Indi year in January and I kind of like,

645
00:31:22,107 --> 00:31:24,867
Speaker 12: why why are we doing that? But T twenty is

646
00:31:24,867 --> 00:31:27,067
Speaker 12: a fickle game. But I think when you look at

647
00:31:27,067 --> 00:31:28,507
Speaker 12: next summer, I think we're going to be a lot

648
00:31:28,507 --> 00:31:31,587
Speaker 12: more happy when we've got India before Christmas, then we're

649
00:31:31,587 --> 00:31:34,187
Speaker 12: in Australian Christmas and then we've got shrill Anka it's

650
00:31:34,227 --> 00:31:37,267
Speaker 12: again for test too, so you know, it's just it

651
00:31:37,347 --> 00:31:39,547
Speaker 12: is what it is. But you know, there's a bit

652
00:31:39,587 --> 00:31:42,947
Speaker 12: frustrating when you get into that Christmas time and everyone's

653
00:31:42,947 --> 00:31:44,427
Speaker 12: on holiday and there's no test cricket.

654
00:31:45,027 --> 00:31:45,227
Speaker 2: Yeah.

655
00:31:47,027 --> 00:31:49,627

Speaker 14: the games shortening, but not for rain.

664
00:32:19,107 --> 00:32:19,707
Speaker 15: Just the game.

665
00:32:19,787 --> 00:32:20,987
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the game ends.

666
00:32:21,067 --> 00:32:24,187
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's what That's what really cost Cricket Australia.

667
00:32:24,227 --> 00:32:27,267
Speaker 3: In Perth Dallas they had to give back millions to

668
00:32:27,267 --> 00:32:30,067
Speaker 3: people who had bought tickets for the Sunday and Sunday

669
00:32:30,147 --> 00:32:31,467
Speaker 3: arrived and the game's done.

670
00:32:32,867 --> 00:32:35,107
Speaker 13: I bet they're not. I bet there's not many people

671
00:32:35,547 --> 00:32:37,427
Speaker 13: pre order for this for this week.

672
00:32:38,747 --> 00:32:41,387
Speaker 3: No, you do it day by day, wouldn't You'd say, okay,

00:32:41,387 --> 00:32:43,467
Speaker 3: well I'll buy it for day one, maybe day two,

674
00:32:43,867 --> 00:32:46,307
Speaker 3: and then I'll keep my keep my money and my

675
00:32:46,347 --> 00:32:47,627
Speaker 3: wallet and see what plays out.

676
00:32:49,347 --> 00:32:52,027
Speaker 13: Yeah, because not just it's the hotels, it's the cater

677
00:32:52,187 --> 00:32:54,427
Speaker 13: and it's everything you know to do with that as well.

678
00:32:54,507 --> 00:32:58,467
Speaker 13: So yeah, day neither too. They tend to be cricket,

679
00:32:58,507 --> 00:33:05,187
Speaker 13: an't they? And well, oh but my introduction to cricket

680
00:33:05,227 --> 00:33:07,507
Speaker 13: was sitting in the base three serve as a schoolboy

681
00:33:08,507 --> 00:33:12,667
Speaker 13: watching the West Indies and versus New Zealand, and I

682
00:33:12,707 --> 00:33:16,147
Speaker 13: remember went down and sixteen wickets fell on the day

683
00:33:17,347 --> 00:33:24,027
Speaker 13: and I saw the great Sobers scored thirty nine before lunch,

684
00:33:24,107 --> 00:33:27,787
Speaker 13: and five Lloyd. And when Sobers got out just before lunch,

685
00:33:28,867 --> 00:33:31,027
Speaker 13: five Lloyds swore it. I was just sitting near the

686
00:33:31,587 --> 00:33:35,147
Speaker 13: dressing he saw as he came in. You know, why'd

687
00:33:35,147 --> 00:33:37,547
Speaker 13: you get out before lunch? You know, I was ready

688
00:33:37,547 --> 00:33:39,347
Speaker 13: shocked to hear this language.

689
00:33:40,627 --> 00:33:41,027
Speaker 4: I'm shot.

690
00:33:41,107 --> 00:33:45,227
Speaker 3: I'm shocked anybody took issue with Gary Sobers any kind

691
00:33:45,267 --> 00:33:47,227
Speaker 3: of He's kind of untouchable, isn't he.

692
00:33:48,387 --> 00:33:50,867
Speaker 13: I thought he was, you know, he was like a hero.

693
00:33:51,027 --> 00:33:53,787
Speaker 13: And then five lloydreen dropping.

694
00:33:54,787 --> 00:33:57,667
Speaker 4: What year was? What year was there? Dalla's what around about?

695
00:33:57,667 --> 00:34:02,387
Speaker 13: What year between sixty eight sixty nine around there? I've

696
00:34:02,827 --> 00:34:03,587
Speaker 13: sort of looked.

697
00:34:03,347 --> 00:34:07,427
Speaker 14: It up sort of there on the records and Google,

698
00:34:07,467 --> 00:34:08,427
Speaker 14: you can google it up.

699
00:34:08,867 --> 00:34:14,547
Speaker 13: Yeah. But the other test was later on. I don't

700
00:34:14,547 --> 00:34:15,107
Speaker 13: know who's playing.

701
00:34:15,147 --> 00:34:18,827
Speaker 14: But we went down for the day to wearrington and

702
00:34:18,907 --> 00:34:22,067
Speaker 14: we wore white coats, and if you wear a white coat,

703
00:34:22,267 --> 00:34:23,307
Speaker 14: if you get into anything.

704
00:34:23,387 --> 00:34:26,947
Speaker 13: So we strolled out onto them. We strolled out onto

705
00:34:26,987 --> 00:34:31,547
Speaker 13: the middle before the tests and pretnny we were umpires

706
00:34:31,627 --> 00:34:33,227
Speaker 13: or something. Just have a look at the worker. And

707
00:34:33,307 --> 00:34:37,587
Speaker 13: then then we strolled into the New Zealand dressing changing test.

708
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:41,347
Speaker 13: I'm serious that we could over here. Jeff Hower is

709
00:34:41,387 --> 00:34:43,627
Speaker 13: giving him a pet talk before the test. So there

710
00:34:43,667 --> 00:34:45,347
Speaker 13: you go. If you wear a white coat, you can

711
00:34:45,427 --> 00:34:46,467
Speaker 13: go anywhere and cricket.

712
00:34:47,067 --> 00:34:50,387
Speaker 4: I love that, Dallas, I absolutely love that, mate. I

713
00:34:50,427 --> 00:34:54,307
Speaker 4: love the just the pure cheek of it. A white

714
00:34:54,347 --> 00:34:56,307
Speaker 4: coat gets you anywhere. I think the high visa is

715
00:34:56,347 --> 00:34:58,987
Speaker 4: a similar thing today. Go on, you mate, great to chat.

716
00:34:59,027 --> 00:35:00,787
Speaker 4: I hope you enjoy the test. Cricket coming up as

717
00:35:00,827 --> 00:35:03,587

00:35:03,667 --> 00:35:04,787
Speaker 4: Sixteen to one, we'll take your might.

719

00:35:27,107 --> 00:35:27,547
Speaker 1: News Talk.

727
00:35:27,627 --> 00:35:30,227
Speaker 3: They'd be twelve to one pointy. Why are they starting

728
00:35:30,227 --> 00:35:32,307
Speaker 3: test cricket on a Tuesday? Don't they realize we have

729
00:35:32,347 --> 00:35:34,307
Speaker 3: to work I think it's to get the games in.

730
00:35:34,547 --> 00:35:36,507
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Leon says, I

731
00:35:36,547 --> 00:35:38,787
Speaker 3: can't wait for this test cricket. Good on you, Leon,

732
00:35:38,827 --> 00:35:42,827
Speaker 3: I'm the same Tony. You've been watching cricket for a while,

733
00:35:42,867 --> 00:35:43,867
Speaker 3: by the sounds of things.

734
00:35:44,907 --> 00:35:45,467
Speaker 16: I remember.

735
00:35:45,467 --> 00:35:48,427
Speaker 17: I started watching cricket when Clive Lloyd was playing in

736
00:35:48,427 --> 00:35:50,907
Speaker 17: the Lancashire League. And I can't remember which town he

737
00:35:51,027 --> 00:35:54,867
Speaker 17: played for, but I came from liukletown called Clithero. Now

738
00:35:55,427 --> 00:35:57,907
Speaker 17: I think the thing that's ruined cricket is money in

739
00:35:57,987 --> 00:36:01,307
Speaker 17: knowsdes Clive Lloyd got some sort of returner as professional

740
00:36:01,347 --> 00:36:07,467
Speaker 17: for his town team and when if he scored fifty

741
00:36:07,547 --> 00:36:09,947
Speaker 17: I think it was or a baller got a hat trick,

742
00:36:10,627 --> 00:36:13,387
Speaker 17: maybe five wickets as well. The hat went around the

743
00:36:13,467 --> 00:36:16,947
Speaker 17: collection that went to the professional. That was That was

744
00:36:16,987 --> 00:36:18,907
Speaker 17: the level of cricket. But you know, and then I

745
00:36:18,987 --> 00:36:21,547
Speaker 17: follow him through. He ended up playing for Lancashire, of course,

746
00:36:22,347 --> 00:36:24,587
Speaker 17: and and then the West Indies.

747
00:36:25,867 --> 00:36:28,907
Speaker 4: He had terrible eyesight. He had terrible eyesight.

748
00:36:28,947 --> 00:36:31,987
Speaker 3: Didn't he wore those glasses and I guess they could

749
00:36:32,027 --> 00:36:35,187
Speaker 3: have he could have been affected by it. But he

750
00:36:35,387 --> 00:36:39,067
Speaker 3: was a magnificent hitter. Of a cricket ball, but also

751
00:36:39,307 --> 00:36:43,107
Speaker 3: a superb cover fieldsman. From memory, Clive Lloyd.

752
00:36:44,067 --> 00:36:45,787
Speaker 17: He could run a fair bit because he was a

753
00:36:45,827 --> 00:36:49,187
Speaker 17: tall bugg a very tall bugger. But the funniest thing

754
00:36:49,267 --> 00:36:52,547
Speaker 17: was watching when watching lankishere a guy called Pilling opened

755
00:36:52,587 --> 00:36:55,667
Speaker 17: with it. Pilling was a captain of Lankish and Pillings

756
00:36:55,667 --> 00:36:58,867
Speaker 17: stood at about five foot three and you could see

757
00:36:58,947 --> 00:37:02,347
Speaker 17: Pilling's little lais going hell for leather while Lloyd was

758
00:37:02,547 --> 00:37:05,947
Speaker 17: loping down the wicket about six strides one end to

759
00:37:05,987 --> 00:37:09,147
Speaker 17: the other, and then these little legs were going from

760
00:37:09,147 --> 00:37:10,907
Speaker 17: the other end. It was really quite amusing.

761
00:37:12,027 --> 00:37:14,147
Speaker 3: Love it, Love it, Tony, Yeah, I mean sorry, I've

762
00:37:14,147 --> 00:37:15,627
Speaker 3: got to move to one more caller before.

763
00:37:15,387 --> 00:37:16,187
Speaker 4: We get to the news mape.

764
00:37:16,187 --> 00:37:19,547
Speaker 3: But yeah, look I those days of that West Indies

765
00:37:19,627 --> 00:37:21,947
Speaker 3: team that Clive Lloyd led. He was the captain, wasn't

766
00:37:21,987 --> 00:37:24,707
Speaker 3: he sort of in the mid seventies into the eighties.

767
00:37:24,747 --> 00:37:27,147
Speaker 3: I should have included the seventies. Of course, it wasn't

768
00:37:27,187 --> 00:37:30,587
Speaker 3: just the eighties. They were sweeping all before them in

769
00:37:30,627 --> 00:37:33,627
Speaker 3: the seventies as well, including the first two Cricket World

770
00:37:33,667 --> 00:37:37,027
Speaker 3: Cups nineteen seventy five and nineteen seventy nine. Both won

771
00:37:37,067 --> 00:37:39,867
Speaker 3: by the West Indies very early days of one day

772
00:37:39,867 --> 00:37:42,507
Speaker 3: international cricket of vat one or even both of those

773
00:37:42,547 --> 00:37:45,667
Speaker 3: World Cups might have been sixty over matches from memory,

774
00:37:46,467 --> 00:37:49,427
Speaker 3: But Clive Lloyd Man, what a leader of men and

775
00:37:49,467 --> 00:37:50,107

00:37:55,467 --> 00:37:57,227
Speaker 18: Just do I know? It's just down at Pegas's and

781
00:37:57,307 --> 00:38:00,707
Speaker 18: bumped into a good legend of the game of cricket.

782
00:38:01,027 --> 00:38:04,387
Speaker 18: Sir Richard Hadley, How is the great man?

783
00:38:04,707 --> 00:38:04,867
Speaker 5: How?

784
00:38:05,107 --> 00:38:06,307
Speaker 4: How was the great Sir Richard?

785
00:38:07,267 --> 00:38:08,867
Speaker 18: I think he's rushing home to his wife to make

786
00:38:08,907 --> 00:38:10,387
Speaker 18: a cup of coffee. He had a bottle of milk

787
00:38:10,427 --> 00:38:14,387
Speaker 18: in his hand, so it was short and sweet. But

788
00:38:15,067 --> 00:38:19,067
Speaker 18: I took a quick selfie and I just tart from

789
00:38:19,107 --> 00:38:21,787
Speaker 18: promoting toilet paper at the present time. Does any of

790
00:38:21,867 --> 00:38:24,587
Speaker 18: your listeners or yourself know how else he feels in

791
00:38:24,667 --> 00:38:25,067
Speaker 18: his day?

792
00:38:25,787 --> 00:38:29,827
Speaker 3: Well, I know I would imagine that he is still

793
00:38:29,907 --> 00:38:31,067
Speaker 3: very invested in the game.

794
00:38:33,027 --> 00:38:38,107
Speaker 4: Yeah he he. I mean again, you know, you can

795
00:38:38,107 --> 00:38:41,667
Speaker 4: get a bit misty eyed on these things. But Richard,

796
00:38:41,747 --> 00:38:44,587
Speaker 4: as he was then, Sir Richard, now of some of

797
00:38:44,627 --> 00:38:48,547
Speaker 4: his performances in the eighties, you think to that fifteen wickets,

798
00:38:48,547 --> 00:38:50,987
Speaker 4: he got the Gabba and even in the earlier part

799
00:38:51,027 --> 00:38:52,627
Speaker 4: of his career when he came storming, he had a

800
00:38:52,627 --> 00:38:54,667
Speaker 4: little little shuffle at the top of his run and

801
00:38:54,747 --> 00:38:57,067
Speaker 4: came flying in. His shirt was hanging out the back

802
00:38:57,147 --> 00:38:59,987
Speaker 4: of his pants and away you went and Hadlee Hadlee

803
00:39:00,067 --> 00:39:01,787
Speaker 4: on the bank. I mean, what are memories.

804
00:39:02,707 --> 00:39:04,347
Speaker 18: I know, I told him I bold like him in

805
00:39:04,347 --> 00:39:07,267
Speaker 18: the backyard withther we shuffled, But yes, I wouldn't now

806
00:39:07,267 --> 00:39:08,347
Speaker 18: I'd end up on his face.

807
00:39:10,907 --> 00:39:12,107
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.

808
00:39:13,467 --> 00:39:16,547
Speaker 18: My best memories of cricket as you know, of his era,

809
00:39:17,067 --> 00:39:20,227
Speaker 18: and then you know the crows and the likes. But yeah,

810
00:39:20,347 --> 00:39:21,787
Speaker 18: I don't rush home to watch it now.

811
00:39:24,187 --> 00:39:24,387
Speaker 5: Yeah.

812
00:39:24,387 --> 00:39:28,227
Speaker 3: Well, look I Andrew, I'm the same as you. My

813
00:39:29,067 --> 00:39:32,107
Speaker 3: most vivid memories of the game growing up, my introduction

814
00:39:32,147 --> 00:39:34,387
Speaker 3: to the game, and it's very much generational of course

815
00:39:34,427 --> 00:39:36,507
Speaker 3: because of the age that I am. But my introduction

816
00:39:36,547 --> 00:39:39,387
Speaker 3: to cricket was red ball cricket because that's what it

817
00:39:39,547 --> 00:39:42,947
Speaker 3: was back then, Test matches, first class games at the basin.

818
00:39:43,587 --> 00:39:45,467
Speaker 3: You know, I thought nothing of going along to watch

819
00:39:45,547 --> 00:39:49,587
Speaker 3: Wellington play against Northern Districts or Otago whoever it was.

820
00:39:49,707 --> 00:39:53,107
Speaker 3: And the Shell Trophy as it was back then, early eighties.

821
00:39:53,867 --> 00:39:57,027
Speaker 3: Take the radio along, listen to Sports Roundup. You know,

822
00:39:57,067 --> 00:39:58,787
Speaker 3: you can listen to the commentary on the band because

823
00:39:58,787 --> 00:39:59,667
Speaker 3: you're watching the game.

824
00:40:00,187 --> 00:40:00,507
Speaker 4: Again.

825
00:40:00,547 --> 00:40:03,947
Speaker 3: This is all very nostalgic, misty eyed stuff, and you know,

826
00:40:04,027 --> 00:40:07,107
Speaker 3: I know we have to move on, but I don't know.

827
00:40:07,147 --> 00:40:11,307
Speaker 3: There's a generation of youngsters now whose exposure to cricket

828
00:40:11,347 --> 00:40:13,267
Speaker 3: is the white ball game, and that's just the nature

829
00:40:13,307 --> 00:40:18,027
Speaker 3: of it. But for young boys and girls growing up

830
00:40:18,027 --> 00:40:21,227
Speaker 3: in the seventies, eighties and even before that, going way back,

831
00:40:21,387 --> 00:40:24,707
Speaker 3: their attraction to cricket, their love of the game was

832
00:40:24,747 --> 00:40:28,987
Speaker 3: fostered by test matches, by red ball stuff, and by

833
00:40:28,987 --> 00:40:31,227
Speaker 3: the heroes of those games. Good to know Sir Richard

834
00:40:31,267 --> 00:40:31,987
Speaker 3: is still kicking around.

835
00:40:32,027 --> 00:40:34,067
Speaker 4: He wasn't well there for a while, I think, but

836
00:40:34,107 --> 00:40:35,787
Speaker 4: I think he's come out the other end of that now.

837
00:40:36,187 --> 00:40:38,187
Speaker 4: A trust the jetter Sir Richard last year actually when

838
00:40:38,187 --> 00:40:40,907
Speaker 4: he was inducted into the Usion Cricket Hall of Fame

839
00:40:40,947 --> 00:40:43,467
Speaker 4: at the Basement Reserve. And he is still sharp ass.

840
00:40:44,147 --> 00:40:45,907
Speaker 3: He hasn't had any of the games he played, he'd

841
00:40:45,987 --> 00:40:48,667
Speaker 3: know the stats, so he got out what New Zealand

842
00:40:48,667 --> 00:40:50,587
Speaker 3: won by all of that stuff. Good to chat andrewck

Speaker 5: last year and with Sports Sports Inc. And Calson and

937
00:45:58,187 --> 00:46:01,267
Speaker 5: Randall were there and we really went through the hole

938
00:46:01,507 --> 00:46:04,507
Speaker 5: in the last eighteen holes of my round and I

939
00:46:04,507 --> 00:46:07,427
Speaker 5: said to myself, Matt, damn, this golf courses hard because

940
00:46:07,427 --> 00:46:10,187
Speaker 5: they had a camera crew follow me around a golf

941
00:46:10,227 --> 00:46:13,267
Speaker 5: course and I explained I knew every single shot. It's

942
00:46:13,347 --> 00:46:16,507
Speaker 5: incredible and it was so nice to go back there

943
00:46:16,547 --> 00:46:22,267
Speaker 5: and really just you know, go through all those wonderful memories.

944
00:46:22,387 --> 00:46:24,187
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to get to those in a moment.

945
00:46:24,267 --> 00:46:26,227
Speaker 3: But can we take it back, Michael, Like many keep

946
00:46:26,267 --> 00:46:28,187
Speaker 3: with kids growing up, you wanted to be an all Black,

947
00:46:28,267 --> 00:46:32,027
Speaker 3: didn't you. You know when and how did golf take

948
00:46:32,067 --> 00:46:32,507
Speaker 3: hold of you?

949
00:46:32,627 --> 00:46:33,947
Speaker 4: Was it mainly through your dad?

950
00:46:34,987 --> 00:46:40,067
Speaker 5: Yeah? Dad, it didn't really push me, but my mum

951
00:46:40,667 --> 00:46:45,907
Speaker 5: didn't like me playing rugby, and I knew it wasn't

952
00:46:45,947 --> 00:46:48,107
Speaker 5: good enough. You kind of know as a kid when

953
00:46:48,147 --> 00:46:50,827
Speaker 5: you go through those phases. So I started playing rugby

954
00:46:50,827 --> 00:46:54,627
Speaker 5: at five years old. At about probably ten eleven, you

955
00:46:54,787 --> 00:46:57,347
Speaker 5: just know you're not good enough. And so I thought, okay,

956
00:46:57,547 --> 00:47:00,827
Speaker 5: I'll drop that rugby dream. And then all of a sudden,

957
00:47:00,867 --> 00:47:05,307
Speaker 5: I focused on golf, and I don't know, golf seemed

958
00:47:05,347 --> 00:47:09,467
Speaker 5: easy for me at that stage, and that's when I

959
00:47:09,467 --> 00:47:13,147
Speaker 5: took up golf service around thirteen. You know, imagine, I

960
00:47:13,187 --> 00:47:15,827
Speaker 5: think it's a great story. You know, it had grown

961
00:47:15,947 --> 00:47:20,187
Speaker 5: up in Titahi Bay, playing on the golf course that's

962
00:47:20,227 --> 00:47:24,667
Speaker 5: got sheep everywhere, fences around the greens, one club, one board,

963
00:47:24,827 --> 00:47:28,067
Speaker 5: maybe two balls, had a sex time. Went from that

964
00:47:28,147 --> 00:47:30,027
Speaker 5: to winning the US Open, one of the biggest tournaments

965
00:47:30,067 --> 00:47:31,867
Speaker 5: in the world. So it's a great story and it's

966
00:47:31,867 --> 00:47:34,827
Speaker 5: why I wanted to share this with everyone out there.

967
00:47:36,147 --> 00:47:40,307
Speaker 5: How you know, sometimes dreams maybe impossible, but but I

968
00:47:40,387 --> 00:47:44,907
Speaker 5: made it possible by believing in my dreams. And that's

969
00:47:44,947 --> 00:47:47,147
Speaker 5: one thing I want to send a message to everyone

970
00:47:48,027 --> 00:47:50,027
Speaker 5: and through this documentary back home, is that you know,

971
00:47:50,027 --> 00:47:54,267
Speaker 5: anything is possible, Anything is possible, and you know, for me,

972
00:47:54,787 --> 00:47:57,027
Speaker 5: golf was more than just a game. It's about creating

973
00:47:57,307 --> 00:48:01,707
Speaker 5: moments and time and memories, and winning the US Open

974
00:48:01,827 --> 00:48:04,787
Speaker 5: was mine. So yeah, it just goes to show that

975
00:48:04,827 --> 00:48:08,347
Speaker 5: you know anything is possible for or you know their

976
00:48:08,347 --> 00:48:09,627
Speaker 5: futurem Big Well.

977
00:48:09,627 --> 00:48:12,387
Speaker 3: In the DOCCO you tell the story of standing up

978
00:48:12,427 --> 00:48:15,427
Speaker 3: on your first day at Manna College, which is your

979
00:48:15,467 --> 00:48:18,787
Speaker 3: secondary school, and announcing you wanted to be a pro golfer,

980
00:48:18,827 --> 00:48:22,827
Speaker 3: and everybody laughing, presumably, I guess, because there weren't too

981
00:48:22,827 --> 00:48:24,427
Speaker 3: many Maldi golfers around at that time.

982
00:48:24,747 --> 00:48:28,147
Speaker 4: Were you driven by wanting to break that mold or

983
00:48:28,187 --> 00:48:30,387
Speaker 4: did you just want to be a golfer?

984
00:48:31,907 --> 00:48:35,067
Speaker 5: No, I was driven by that. Actually, yes, I remember

985
00:48:35,107 --> 00:48:37,147
Speaker 5: that day. It was. It was at Mount College, first

986
00:48:37,307 --> 00:48:40,867
Speaker 5: at school when I was thirteen years old, and we

987
00:48:40,907 --> 00:48:44,067
Speaker 5: had to introduce ourselves, our names and parents and where

988
00:48:44,067 --> 00:48:46,627
Speaker 5: we came from, what they did, and what's your future,

989
00:48:46,747 --> 00:48:50,667
Speaker 5: what's your future goals? And almost classmates were saying the

990
00:48:50,747 --> 00:48:56,907
Speaker 5: usual kind of theme policemen, fireman, doctor, nurse, whatever. And

991
00:48:57,387 --> 00:48:59,747
Speaker 5: it was my time to come, I said, golf professional,

992
00:48:59,787 --> 00:49:02,507
Speaker 5: and I remember every single person in their classroom laughed

993
00:49:02,627 --> 00:49:06,107
Speaker 5: at me. I'm still there, standing standing tall, and I

994
00:49:06,107 --> 00:49:09,267
Speaker 5: thought tell you what, one day, I'll definitely have the

995
00:49:09,387 --> 00:49:12,587
Speaker 5: last laugh. And all my mates from school now play golf.

996
00:49:12,827 --> 00:49:17,707
Speaker 5: So it was, it was, it was, you know, I

997
00:49:17,787 --> 00:49:20,227
Speaker 5: just wanted you're right. I mean, not many Maori play

998
00:49:20,307 --> 00:49:23,587
Speaker 5: golf back in the seventies and eighties and there was

999
00:49:23,667 --> 00:49:27,387
Speaker 5: no professional golfers on tour. I'll never forget in the

1000
00:49:27,427 --> 00:49:31,147
Speaker 5: moment when I thought, okay, this is my my pathway

1001
00:49:31,267 --> 00:49:35,587
Speaker 5: was when I was watching Golf Life Golf with Dad

1002
00:49:36,307 --> 00:49:40,707
Speaker 5: earlier hours in the morning, the US Masters back in

1003
00:49:40,827 --> 00:49:42,987
Speaker 5: eighties or something like that, eighty two to eighty three,

1004
00:49:43,027 --> 00:49:46,627
Speaker 5: and it's early in the morning because the time difference,

1005
00:49:46,667 --> 00:49:51,147
Speaker 5: and I remember watching watching Jack Nicholas playing Augusta US

1006
00:49:51,147 --> 00:49:55,187
Speaker 5: Masters and I said to Dad, there's no no New

1007
00:49:55,267 --> 00:49:58,547
Speaker 5: Zealanders in the field. Well, no no Malby in the

1008
00:49:58,587 --> 00:50:01,467
Speaker 5: field because they're not good enough Michael. And I thought,

1009
00:50:01,747 --> 00:50:04,947
Speaker 5: well maybe I can change that. So that really changed

1010
00:50:04,947 --> 00:50:09,547
Speaker 5: my whole That's that's part of the reason was proof

1011
00:50:09,547 --> 00:50:12,067
Speaker 5: of the world that that Moldy can play golf. So

1012
00:50:12,387 --> 00:50:13,507
Speaker 5: I think I succeeded there.

1013
00:50:13,587 --> 00:50:14,307
Speaker 4: You certainly did.

1014
00:50:14,387 --> 00:50:17,227
Speaker 3: You had a high degree of amateur success, including the

1015
00:50:17,267 --> 00:50:21,267
Speaker 3: Eisenhower of course, and turn professional in nineteen ninety three.

1016
00:50:21,867 --> 00:50:24,627
Speaker 3: How long did it take you to feel at home

1017
00:50:24,787 --> 00:50:26,587
Speaker 3: comfortable on the pro circuit?

1018
00:50:28,107 --> 00:50:32,467
Speaker 5: Very quickly, I won very quickly, about five weeks after

1019
00:50:32,507 --> 00:50:35,947
Speaker 5: I turned pro. I was lucky, well lucky, a bit

1020
00:50:35,947 --> 00:50:38,987
Speaker 5: of hard work, but one very quickly. So I felt

1021
00:50:39,107 --> 00:50:42,347
Speaker 5: very very comfortable on tour and then let's whend things

1022
00:50:42,347 --> 00:50:44,827
Speaker 5: forgot for me and then I finished. Then he won

1023
00:50:44,867 --> 00:50:48,027
Speaker 5: the Open ninety five, so it kind of like just

1024
00:50:48,147 --> 00:50:51,747
Speaker 5: compounded from there. So I went from, you know, being

1025
00:50:51,787 --> 00:50:54,667
Speaker 5: one of the best Australasian players back in the early

1026
00:50:54,867 --> 00:50:56,507
Speaker 5: nineties to it of a sudden in one of the

1027
00:50:56,507 --> 00:51:01,427
Speaker 5: best European tour players. So I took the elavator to

1028
00:51:01,467 --> 00:51:04,067
Speaker 5: the top very quickly. Some people and take the stairs.

1029
00:51:04,107 --> 00:51:10,307
Speaker 5: I took the elevator, went to the open. Where that

1030
00:51:10,387 --> 00:51:13,427
Speaker 5: comes from, I don't know, but yeah, and I had

1031
00:51:13,467 --> 00:51:16,147
Speaker 5: success very quickly, and it was it was so I

1032
00:51:16,147 --> 00:51:18,467
Speaker 5: felt very comfortable very quickly. So that's why I think

1033
00:51:18,707 --> 00:51:20,507
Speaker 5: I kind of hung around for a very long time

1034
00:51:21,547 --> 00:51:24,387
Speaker 5: on tour for twenty years or so before I retired

1035
00:51:24,427 --> 00:51:29,267
Speaker 5: about what ten years ago now ship twelve years ago.

1036
00:51:31,147 --> 00:51:34,707
Speaker 5: So yeah, look, you know, I'm very appreciative of my career,

1037
00:51:34,787 --> 00:51:38,227
Speaker 5: what I've done, and hopefully in this documentary you will

1038
00:51:38,227 --> 00:51:41,547
Speaker 5: explain how it kind of unfolded.

1039
00:51:42,347 --> 00:51:44,667
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to the two thousand and five

1040
00:51:44,747 --> 00:51:47,947
Speaker 3: US Open. You were ranked eightieth in the world at

1041
00:51:47,987 --> 00:51:50,627
Speaker 3: that time, so you had to go through qualifying to

1042
00:51:50,787 --> 00:51:53,427
Speaker 3: even make it into the field for the US Open

1043
00:51:53,427 --> 00:51:56,667
Speaker 3: at Pinehurst number two. Once you had done that, what

1044
00:51:56,747 --> 00:51:58,987
Speaker 3: were your ambitions going into the tournament.

1045
00:52:02,347 --> 00:52:07,947
Speaker 5: That particular moment or two or three months, I was

1046
00:52:07,947 --> 00:52:11,787
Speaker 5: playing well, you know, going into the US Open, and

1047
00:52:11,867 --> 00:52:15,907
Speaker 5: so I set a goal and you're seeing the documentary

1048
00:52:15,907 --> 00:52:19,427
Speaker 5: of my goal setting. Since I was twelve thirteen years old,

1049
00:52:20,347 --> 00:52:22,547
Speaker 5: I had a little black book that I kept for

1050
00:52:22,707 --> 00:52:26,187
Speaker 5: myself and my mom started that for me many many

1051
00:52:26,267 --> 00:52:30,707
Speaker 5: years ago when I was thirteen, and things like if

1052
00:52:30,747 --> 00:52:35,027
Speaker 5: I break one hundred, you know, I'll buy a new driver.

1053
00:52:35,587 --> 00:52:39,187
Speaker 5: For breaking ninety, I've got a new pudder. So I've

1054
00:52:39,227 --> 00:52:41,827
Speaker 5: always been a goal setter ever since then. My mum

1055
00:52:41,947 --> 00:52:45,147
Speaker 5: taught me that a very young age. Unfortunately she passed

1056
00:52:45,187 --> 00:52:48,707
Speaker 5: away a couple of years ago, but yeah, so she

1057
00:52:49,067 --> 00:52:51,147
Speaker 5: planted a seed in my mind about goal sitting. And

1058
00:52:52,827 --> 00:52:55,307
Speaker 5: so what I'm going to now is that week of

1059
00:52:55,427 --> 00:52:59,147
Speaker 5: the US Open. Every week I had a goal, you know,

1060
00:52:59,187 --> 00:53:01,587
Speaker 5: when I was out there playing break thirty parts or

1061
00:53:01,667 --> 00:53:04,307
Speaker 5: hit at twelve out of fourteen fairways. You know, I

1062
00:53:04,427 --> 00:53:07,107
Speaker 5: think an extra five minutes on the tree mill in,

1063
00:53:07,107 --> 00:53:09,667
Speaker 5: an extra five sit ups, or whatever it's going to be.

1064
00:53:10,867 --> 00:53:12,987
Speaker 5: There's always something I always had in my mind that

1065
00:53:13,107 --> 00:53:21,667
Speaker 5: week to achieve, and playing golf was one was the

1066
00:53:21,667 --> 00:53:24,987
Speaker 5: the reason why I did it, but also the I

1067
00:53:25,067 --> 00:53:27,507
Speaker 5: was focusing on the on the small things that make

1068
00:53:27,547 --> 00:53:29,907
Speaker 5: it make a difference, and that was one big thing

1069
00:53:29,907 --> 00:53:32,707
Speaker 5: for me with a goal setting side. That week of

1070
00:53:32,787 --> 00:53:36,307
Speaker 5: the US Open, I see myself top ten. I'm going

1071
00:53:36,387 --> 00:53:38,307
Speaker 5: to buy myself a second hand Porsche because I love

1072
00:53:38,347 --> 00:53:41,547
Speaker 5: my Porsches. You know, twenty thousand miles on the clock,

1073
00:53:42,867 --> 00:53:46,707
Speaker 5: three or four years old, spend twenty five pounds. Because

1074
00:53:46,707 --> 00:53:49,387
Speaker 5: I was living in London at the time, and so

1075
00:53:49,467 --> 00:53:54,227
Speaker 5: I wrote nine ninety seven, which is the model of

1076
00:53:54,307 --> 00:53:56,947
Speaker 5: the year in two thousand and five, and nine nine

1077
00:53:57,067 --> 00:54:00,547
Speaker 5: seven was my markings on my ball. Normally do do

1078
00:54:00,707 --> 00:54:03,267
Speaker 5: like a cross or a line or darts whatever, but

1079
00:54:03,307 --> 00:54:05,107
Speaker 5: I put nine ninety seven. That was one of the

1080
00:54:06,187 --> 00:54:10,627
Speaker 5: was my goal. And after three rounds also I noticed

1081
00:54:10,667 --> 00:54:13,587
Speaker 5: I was leading well clost to the lease. I said

1082
00:54:13,587 --> 00:54:16,027
Speaker 5: to myself, Okay, so I crossed that out and then

1083
00:54:16,107 --> 00:54:20,627
Speaker 5: put down a brand new Porsche. And then in the

1084
00:54:20,707 --> 00:54:25,067
Speaker 5: final round, this is absolute truth. All I was thinking

1085
00:54:25,067 --> 00:54:30,587
Speaker 5: about was my Porsche. The color of the of the car,

1086
00:54:32,027 --> 00:54:36,507
Speaker 5: side of the wheels, the shape of the exhaust pipes,

1087
00:54:36,587 --> 00:54:41,627
Speaker 5: the great breaker pillars, the interior. I'm not kidding, you know.

1088
00:54:41,667 --> 00:54:43,667
Speaker 5: That's what I thought about. The whole eighteen holes in

1089
00:54:43,707 --> 00:54:45,827
Speaker 5: the last round. Was that. And then obviously I was

1090
00:54:46,587 --> 00:54:48,667
Speaker 5: the bigger picture of the US Open. But I played

1091
00:54:48,667 --> 00:54:50,707
Speaker 5: a game within the game, you know. I decided to

1092
00:54:51,107 --> 00:54:53,627
Speaker 5: keep it trying to keep it small within something that

1093
00:54:53,667 --> 00:54:57,387
Speaker 5: I can control, because you can't control the other players.

1094
00:54:57,787 --> 00:54:59,987
Speaker 5: You can't control the crowds, the weather. But I can

1095
00:55:00,067 --> 00:55:02,747
Speaker 5: control what I think I can achieve. And it was

1096
00:55:03,387 --> 00:55:07,507
Speaker 5: that Porsche. So and then the final final part, and

1097
00:55:07,827 --> 00:55:12,347
Speaker 5: the first thing I thought about was my to before

1098
00:55:12,387 --> 00:55:14,547
Speaker 5: I'll hang on here. I've actually won the USA went

1099
00:55:14,587 --> 00:55:16,707
Speaker 5: as well, so that's a bonus. Yeah, so that's a

1100
00:55:16,707 --> 00:55:17,227
Speaker 5: true story.

1101
00:55:17,347 --> 00:55:19,587
Speaker 4: I love that story. That is so brilliant.

1102
00:55:19,627 --> 00:55:23,187
Speaker 3: So on the final afternoon, you held your nerve as

1103
00:55:23,187 --> 00:55:26,827
Speaker 3: others drop shots and coming down the streets. You basically

1104
00:55:26,827 --> 00:55:29,947
Speaker 3: found yourself in a straight shootout with none other than

1105
00:55:29,987 --> 00:55:33,707
Speaker 3: the world number one Tiger Woods. He's hunting a tenth major.

1106
00:55:34,067 --> 00:55:37,027
Speaker 3: It's the US Open, so pretty much the entire fifty

1107
00:55:37,107 --> 00:55:39,707
Speaker 3: thousand strong gallerries cheering him on.

1108
00:55:40,867 --> 00:55:42,507
Speaker 4: What was that like, Michael?

1109
00:55:45,427 --> 00:55:53,987
Speaker 5: How much in controller was of my mind? How karma

1110
00:55:54,027 --> 00:56:00,707
Speaker 5: was surprisingly how much of words I thought I was

1111
00:56:00,707 --> 00:56:03,707
Speaker 5: going to win this? And know I can say it now,

1112
00:56:04,547 --> 00:56:09,467
Speaker 5: but I think it comes down to a mental resilience,

1113
00:56:10,307 --> 00:56:11,227
Speaker 5: mental fortitude.

1114
00:56:11,267 --> 00:56:11,427
Speaker 11: You know.

1115
00:56:11,507 --> 00:56:14,507
Speaker 5: Yes, you've got the physical demands. I've gone out there

1116
00:56:14,547 --> 00:56:16,947
Speaker 5: and playing different shots and your swing and you're putting

1117
00:56:17,027 --> 00:56:19,547
Speaker 5: your chipping, your bunker, playing a sort of different aspects.

1118
00:56:19,547 --> 00:56:23,707
Speaker 5: But it comes down what's you know between these between

1119
00:56:23,747 --> 00:56:29,587
Speaker 5: your ears? And I was very very determined, and I

1120
00:56:29,627 --> 00:56:33,267
Speaker 5: knew that the goal was very very close, and and

1121
00:56:33,307 --> 00:56:37,467
Speaker 5: it took, you know, twenty years to get there, you know,

1122
00:56:37,707 --> 00:56:39,587
Speaker 5: you know, as I said before earlier in the interview,

1123
00:56:39,627 --> 00:56:41,787
Speaker 5: and it's not about that particular day. It's it's how

1124
00:56:42,787 --> 00:56:47,227
Speaker 5: it all unfolded, you know, with my team behind me,

1125
00:56:47,467 --> 00:56:51,667
Speaker 5: within the people who were involved, for example, all the

1126
00:56:52,587 --> 00:56:56,427
Speaker 5: I was thinking about a lot of people after the round,

1127
00:56:56,547 --> 00:57:00,667
Speaker 5: after after one. People helped me as a kid growing

1128
00:57:00,747 --> 00:57:03,667
Speaker 5: up at Titahi Golf Club, I had a lot of mentors.

1129
00:57:03,907 --> 00:57:06,547
Speaker 5: People used to pick me up from early mornings to

1130
00:57:06,707 --> 00:57:09,147
Speaker 5: take me to tow club when I was a kid.

1131
00:57:09,307 --> 00:57:12,507
Speaker 5: You know, things like that. You know, I try to

1132
00:57:12,547 --> 00:57:14,987
Speaker 5: thank them, and this is my way of thinking them

1133
00:57:15,187 --> 00:57:17,347
Speaker 5: was to win the biggest, biggest talment in the world.

1134
00:57:17,347 --> 00:57:21,907
Speaker 5: And there's a lot of these thousands of hundreds of

1135
00:57:21,947 --> 00:57:25,107
Speaker 5: people who helped me out, So you know, it's hard,

1136
00:57:25,227 --> 00:57:28,187
Speaker 5: hard to kind of like pin point just a few.

1137
00:57:28,307 --> 00:57:30,987
Speaker 5: There's more than just a few. And I was thinking

1138
00:57:30,987 --> 00:57:34,427
Speaker 5: about them really and without them, without their help and

1139
00:57:34,467 --> 00:57:38,987
Speaker 5: their guidance then mentoring, this wouldn't happen. So you know,

1140
00:57:39,427 --> 00:57:41,627
Speaker 5: the final result was winning the US Open, But how

1141
00:57:41,627 --> 00:57:45,987
Speaker 5: I got there was a great journey. I think, amazing.

1142
00:57:46,347 --> 00:57:50,387
Speaker 4: Amazing. So you're a major winner, You've won the US Open.

1143
00:57:50,747 --> 00:57:54,507
Speaker 4: How much did that win change your life?

1144
00:57:57,187 --> 00:58:05,907
Speaker 5: Uh, it's I wasn't prepared for it, to be honest.

1145
00:58:06,667 --> 00:58:10,387
Speaker 5: I remember their I remember the first time I had

1146
00:58:10,387 --> 00:58:14,227
Speaker 5: a meeting with my team, a management group at the time,

1147
00:58:14,267 --> 00:58:16,547
Speaker 5: and I said, I want to go home. This is

1148
00:58:16,747 --> 00:58:21,467
Speaker 5: literally a week after I won, And they said, are

1149
00:58:21,507 --> 00:58:24,747
Speaker 5: you fidding me. There is no time, Michael, I said,

1150
00:58:24,867 --> 00:58:26,427
Speaker 5: you're going to make time. You're going to make time

1151
00:58:26,467 --> 00:58:29,147
Speaker 5: to go home and share my success with my people,

1152
00:58:30,467 --> 00:58:33,587
Speaker 5: and they go best than possible. I said, well, no,

1153
00:58:34,027 --> 00:58:39,067
Speaker 5: I want ten days. So Emirates flew me over with

1154
00:58:39,067 --> 00:58:42,947
Speaker 5: my family and we had a crazy ten days and

1155
00:58:43,067 --> 00:58:46,867
Speaker 5: a ticket tape arraide homecoming tour, went to all these

1156
00:58:46,907 --> 00:58:51,627
Speaker 5: schools around New Zealand to inspire young kids. I did

1157
00:58:51,667 --> 00:58:53,347
Speaker 5: it for New Zealand, not for me, didn't. I don't

1158
00:58:53,347 --> 00:58:57,107
Speaker 5: need the publicity. That's the last thing I wanted. And

1159
00:58:57,227 --> 00:59:01,107
Speaker 5: it was important for me because you know, my grandmother

1160
00:59:01,107 --> 00:59:03,187
Speaker 5: and I were very, very close. She passed away many

1161
00:59:03,347 --> 00:59:07,427
Speaker 5: many years ago when I was sixteen, but she always

1162
00:59:07,427 --> 00:59:11,147
Speaker 5: told me that I would do something special. You know,

1163
00:59:12,587 --> 00:59:15,507
Speaker 5: I was ten years old when we're having these conversations.

1164
00:59:16,227 --> 00:59:19,747
Speaker 5: I didn't start playing golf then, but she knew something

1165
00:59:19,987 --> 00:59:22,747
Speaker 5: was you know, I was. I was fashal in some

1166
00:59:22,827 --> 00:59:24,147
Speaker 5: sort of way, and I thought she was a little

1167
00:59:24,187 --> 00:59:26,627
Speaker 5: bit you know, okay, grand made a little bit nutty,

1168
00:59:26,667 --> 00:59:30,667
Speaker 5: but okay, I'll believe you. And she still there's the

1169
00:59:30,667 --> 00:59:35,547
Speaker 5: confidence in me a lot so and then when this happened,

1170
00:59:35,627 --> 00:59:38,427
Speaker 5: I kind of understood what she was talking about, and

1171
00:59:38,547 --> 00:59:43,707
Speaker 5: she always told me that one of her philosophy philosophies

1172
00:59:43,787 --> 00:59:45,827
Speaker 5: is that you know, you were born with two hands,

1173
00:59:45,907 --> 00:59:48,987
Speaker 5: one to give, one to give, one to take, one

1174
00:59:49,067 --> 00:59:51,587
Speaker 5: to receive. Sorry, I want to give back, and so

1175
00:59:51,747 --> 00:59:55,107
Speaker 5: when I received the Serious Open victory, I wanted to

1176
00:59:55,107 --> 00:59:58,507
Speaker 5: get back to my people back home and inspire people

1177
00:59:58,587 --> 01:00:01,227
Speaker 5: back home with these young kids that you know, any

1178
01:00:01,307 --> 01:00:02,147
Speaker 5: dreams possible.

1179
01:00:02,267 --> 01:00:02,467
Speaker 22: You know.

1180
01:00:02,547 --> 01:00:06,347
Speaker 5: You imagine I was sitting down watching the best player

1181
01:00:06,427 --> 01:00:09,467
Speaker 5: in the world of my father at thirteen years old, Barllion,

1182
01:00:09,467 --> 01:00:12,627
Speaker 5: hours in the morning, watching these guys play these amazing

1183
01:00:12,667 --> 01:00:15,787
Speaker 5: golf courses, and I'm thinking, I want to be there

1184
01:00:15,827 --> 01:00:21,307
Speaker 5: one day happen, you know. So that's goes to show

1185
01:00:21,347 --> 01:00:23,747
Speaker 5: that you know, anything's possible. I know that I've said

1186
01:00:23,747 --> 01:00:27,147
Speaker 5: that word I like, but that's one where the sentence

1187
01:00:27,187 --> 01:00:29,227
Speaker 5: that comes strings to my mind every single time I

1188
01:00:29,307 --> 01:00:32,987
Speaker 5: talk about this is that, you know, I went from

1189
01:00:33,587 --> 01:00:36,507
Speaker 5: golf club to winning and major championships and bidding target

1190
01:00:36,547 --> 01:00:39,387
Speaker 5: at the same time. So you can't get better than that.

1191
01:00:39,307 --> 01:00:42,267
Speaker 4: No, you cannot. What a journey, What a journey it's been.

1192
01:00:42,387 --> 01:00:45,587
Speaker 4: And the journey, of course has continued over the past

1193
01:00:45,587 --> 01:00:48,587
Speaker 4: twenty years, it's been a roller ghost. And in fact,

1194
01:00:48,627 --> 01:00:51,907
Speaker 4: you have had some challenges, haven't you, Michael, particularly in

1195
01:00:51,907 --> 01:00:52,907
Speaker 4: the last year or so.

1196
01:00:54,747 --> 01:01:00,107
Speaker 5: Yes, I have. The last three years or so, I've

1197
01:01:00,467 --> 01:01:03,707
Speaker 5: going to be going through bit of heart problems. That's

1198
01:01:03,747 --> 01:01:06,547
Speaker 5: got actual fibrillation that's quite common back in the day,

1199
01:01:07,267 --> 01:01:11,707
Speaker 5: especially now. And yeah, I had had heart surge tree

1200
01:01:11,827 --> 01:01:15,387
Speaker 5: about two months ago, and I'm feeling so much better now.

1201
01:01:16,067 --> 01:01:20,907
Speaker 5: Actual fibrillations basically racing too fast, your heart's racing too

1202
01:01:20,947 --> 01:01:23,947
Speaker 5: fast and algorithm and I fixed that. Now I feel

1203
01:01:23,947 --> 01:01:27,027
Speaker 5: like a like a third year old now, all around

1204
01:01:27,027 --> 01:01:31,147
Speaker 5: fifty six. I feel much younger and playing better now

1205
01:01:31,187 --> 01:01:32,987
Speaker 5: because I was on the golf course and I was

1206
01:01:33,747 --> 01:01:37,907
Speaker 5: getting fatigue and tired and couldn't focus and it's getting

1207
01:01:37,907 --> 01:01:41,187
Speaker 5: pretty frustrating. And IPLE was just aging, you know, getting old,

1208
01:01:42,787 --> 01:01:44,787
Speaker 5: until I add a health check and I thought, okay,

1209
01:01:45,547 --> 01:01:48,667
Speaker 5: cheap because the needs to need to fix this. So yeah,

1210
01:01:48,667 --> 01:01:52,707
Speaker 5: it's been challenging the last two or three years. And

1211
01:01:53,547 --> 01:01:56,507
Speaker 5: I put the surgery off for two years and I thought, no,

1212
01:01:56,547 --> 01:01:58,067
Speaker 5: I have to do it because the quality of life

1213
01:01:58,187 --> 01:02:01,627
Speaker 5: was wasn't good. And now I feel great. I mean,

1214
01:02:01,667 --> 01:02:03,867
Speaker 5: I feel normal. I feel like I'm waking up in

1215
01:02:04,107 --> 01:02:09,627
Speaker 5: the morning now slept, you know, because I remember sleeping

1216
01:02:09,787 --> 01:02:12,627
Speaker 5: before the surgery for eight hours, nine hours a day

1217
01:02:12,667 --> 01:02:15,867
Speaker 5: and waking up in the morning if feeling tired. So

1218
01:02:15,907 --> 01:02:18,747
Speaker 5: I thought something's wrong here. So yeah, it's been charging

1219
01:02:18,827 --> 01:02:22,707
Speaker 5: in they and and I feel like I'll go a

1220
01:02:22,747 --> 01:02:27,187
Speaker 5: second chapter going in my my boocket right now. So

1221
01:02:27,427 --> 01:02:29,307
Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to playing. I still playing on the

1222
01:02:29,387 --> 01:02:32,507
Speaker 5: Legends Tour over fifteen now. You know, I came close

1223
01:02:32,547 --> 01:02:35,427
Speaker 5: to winning last week, so you know, I was back

1224
01:02:35,467 --> 01:02:38,227
Speaker 5: to normal, you could say. So I'm pretty excited for

1225
01:02:38,267 --> 01:02:39,627

01:07:00,307 --> 01:07:03,587
Speaker 3: to fly back to christ churchesch I thought you already

1307
01:07:03,667 --> 01:07:07,867
Speaker 3: had a first class century? How did this escape my attention?

1308
01:07:09,067 --> 01:07:10,947
Speaker 19: Yeah, I know that opinion has been shared by a

1309
01:07:10,987 --> 01:07:12,547
Speaker 19: lot of my peers. I think over the years, you know,

1310
01:07:12,587 --> 01:07:15,747
Speaker 19: it's been something that you know, I've been really searching

1311
01:07:15,747 --> 01:07:17,467
Speaker 19: for for a really long period of time. And that's

1312
01:07:17,467 --> 01:07:20,427
Speaker 19: why I suppose you've obviously seen the celebration. I suppose

1313
01:07:20,427 --> 01:07:22,267
Speaker 19: it was just a lot of you know, pinned up

1314
01:07:22,267 --> 01:07:24,227
Speaker 19: frustration over years and years of not getting there. So

1315
01:07:24,227 --> 01:07:26,467
Speaker 19: it's nice to be able to be able to have

1316
01:07:26,507 --> 01:07:26,787
Speaker 19: that one.

1317
01:07:26,787 --> 01:07:30,547
Speaker 3: Now, I absolutely loved the celebration. What was your highest

1318
01:07:30,587 --> 01:07:31,347
Speaker 3: score before this?

1319
01:07:32,667 --> 01:07:35,347
Speaker 19: I had like an eighty two or something, and yeah,

1320
01:07:35,347 --> 01:07:37,547
Speaker 19: it was you know, like I said, I've got to

1321
01:07:37,547 --> 01:07:39,867
Speaker 19: fifty quite a lot of times over the last well,

1322
01:07:39,987 --> 01:07:41,787
Speaker 19: you know, decade or so, and you know, there are

1323
01:07:41,787 --> 01:07:43,867
Speaker 19: a few opportunities that I lost. So it's nice to

1324
01:07:43,907 --> 01:07:45,187
Speaker 19: get over the line. And you know, it's so many

1325
01:07:45,187 --> 01:07:47,547
Speaker 19: that you can't sort of you can't take away from me.

1326
01:07:49,147 --> 01:07:52,107
Speaker 3: And it's there forever I've looked at crack infoation, it's there.

1327
01:07:52,147 --> 01:07:54,667
Speaker 3: They will never take it away. What was it like then,

1328
01:07:54,707 --> 01:07:57,587
Speaker 3: getting into the eighties, getting into the nineties, they talk

1329
01:07:57,627 --> 01:07:58,907
Speaker 3: about the nervous nineties.

1330
01:07:58,947 --> 01:08:01,347
Speaker 4: You've you would never have been there in first class cricket?

1331
01:08:01,427 --> 01:08:01,987
Speaker 4: What was that like?

1332
01:08:03,027 --> 01:08:03,147
Speaker 22: Now?

1333
01:08:03,187 --> 01:08:03,747
Speaker 5: It was pretty good.

1334
01:08:03,747 --> 01:08:05,667
Speaker 19: I Like I was betting with Sean Davy at the time,

1335
01:08:05,707 --> 01:08:08,387
Speaker 19: and he's a really nice batsman and he's you know,

1336
01:08:08,427 --> 01:08:10,067
Speaker 19: not played a heap of first class career, but always

1337
01:08:10,107 --> 01:08:12,147
Speaker 19: had a lot of potential and he came out and

1338
01:08:12,147 --> 01:08:14,107
Speaker 19: absolutely started whacking it. So it was real nice to

1339
01:08:14,267 --> 01:08:15,507
Speaker 19: sort of have some pressure.

1340
01:08:15,147 --> 01:08:16,467
Speaker 13: Taken off at the other end, and you know.

1341
01:08:16,427 --> 01:08:17,747
Speaker 19: We had to put on a good score on the

1342
01:08:17,787 --> 01:08:20,707
Speaker 19: first innings to try to set up the game really nicely,

1343
01:08:20,747 --> 01:08:23,427
Speaker 19: and so yeah, because he was betting so nicely and

1344
01:08:24,147 --> 01:08:25,867
Speaker 19: smoking it, they sort of had the field spread, which

1345
01:08:25,907 --> 01:08:26,467
Speaker 19: made it a bit.

1346
01:08:26,347 --> 01:08:28,027
Speaker 5: Easier in the eighties and nineties, So it.

1347
01:08:28,507 --> 01:08:30,307
Speaker 19: Was really down to Sean the way he played, and

1348
01:08:30,387 --> 01:08:32,267
Speaker 19: he ended up getting his made in first class hundred two.

1349
01:08:32,387 --> 01:08:34,107
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was cooled. It must have been a nice moment

1350
01:08:34,147 --> 01:08:37,707
Speaker 4: to share it together so that you get the one hundred.

1351
01:08:37,827 --> 01:08:40,467
Speaker 4: You're off. Your phone must have blown up, did it?

1352
01:08:41,227 --> 01:08:41,867
Speaker 5: Yeah? I was.

1353
01:08:42,067 --> 01:08:44,187
Speaker 19: I think the real cool thing about it was, you know,

1354
01:08:44,227 --> 01:08:46,347
Speaker 19: like there were so many people that there's a lot

1355
01:08:46,347 --> 01:08:49,107
Speaker 19: of interest in you know, more people sort of watching

1356
01:08:49,147 --> 01:08:51,947
Speaker 19: the planket chield and perhaps we thought, you know, when

1357
01:08:51,987 --> 01:08:54,187
Speaker 19: you sort of come off and get all those messages,

1358
01:08:54,187 --> 01:08:56,107
Speaker 19: really nice to receive them all. But it's all the

1359
01:08:56,347 --> 01:08:58,627
Speaker 19: sort of close mates of mine and Cricket always knew

1360
01:08:58,667 --> 01:08:59,627
Speaker 19: that it was a big goal of mine to get

1361
01:08:59,667 --> 01:09:01,627
Speaker 19: that a hundred, so it was really nice to be

1362
01:09:01,667 --> 01:09:02,547
Speaker 19: able to share that with him.

1363
01:09:02,707 --> 01:09:03,667
Speaker 4: Absolutely brilliant.

1364
01:09:03,707 --> 01:09:07,667
Speaker 3: So heading back now, I know that you're focusing on

1365
01:09:07,707 --> 01:09:09,387
Speaker 3: Plunket child with cannibury at the moment. But if you've

1366
01:09:09,387 --> 01:09:11,307
Speaker 3: got a half a nine white ball stuff after Christmas

1367
01:09:11,347 --> 01:09:13,747
Speaker 3: and into the new year, you must be starting to

1368
01:09:13,787 --> 01:09:16,707
Speaker 3: think pretty heavily about that, are you with the black Caps?

1369
01:09:17,427 --> 01:09:19,827
Speaker 19: Yeah, definitely, I think, you know, with the T twenty

1370
01:09:19,867 --> 01:09:23,387
Speaker 19: campaign starting, you know, the supers mess, I think it's

1371
01:09:23,787 --> 01:09:25,587
Speaker 19: just after Christmas and stuff. So yeah, we got two

1372
01:09:25,587 --> 01:09:28,827
Speaker 19: more plunking chill games in the meantime, and while we're

1373
01:09:28,827 --> 01:09:30,867
Speaker 19: staying really nicely focused on that, it's important, I think,

1374
01:09:30,867 --> 01:09:33,107
Speaker 19: to just keep those white ball skills shaped up because

1375
01:09:33,467 --> 01:09:35,347
Speaker 19: these days I just feel like red ball cricket and

1376
01:09:35,467 --> 01:09:38,107
Speaker 19: T twenty cricket they're just two completely different sports being

1377
01:09:38,107 --> 01:09:41,667
Speaker 19: a spin ballers. So yeah, me and Cole McConkie actually

1378
01:09:41,907 --> 01:09:43,187
Speaker 19: every now and then we'll go and have a white

1379
01:09:43,187 --> 01:09:46,067
Speaker 19: ball net just to remind ourselves of our white ball skills.

1380
01:09:46,067 --> 01:09:48,427
Speaker 19: And so that's I mean, it's really important to keep

1381
01:09:48,467 --> 01:09:49,867
Speaker 19: on top of when you're playing rebul cricket.

1382
01:09:49,867 --> 01:09:50,507
Speaker 4: I love it, mate.

1383
01:09:50,547 --> 01:09:53,267
Speaker 3: Well I'm going to change if it didn't have all

1384
01:09:53,347 --> 01:09:56,667
Speaker 3: Rounder alongside you in my contacts, if it just had

1385
01:09:56,907 --> 01:09:58,907
Speaker 3: each Sody legspin, I'm going to change it to each

1386
01:09:58,987 --> 01:10:02,147
Speaker 3: Sody all round in now first class entry. Mate, no

1387
01:10:02,187 --> 01:10:04,067
Speaker 3: one can ever take it away from you. Congratulations and

1388

01:10:05,427 --> 01:10:07,107
Speaker 4: Acuse me, mate, that's.

1391
01:10:07,107 --> 01:10:08,627
Speaker 3: Eas Sody about to hop on a plane back to

1392
01:10:08,707 --> 01:10:14,347
Speaker 3: christ Church and finally the first class century achieved. If

1393
01:10:14,387 --> 01:10:16,027
Speaker 3: you get the chance to watch us, I'm sure if

1394
01:10:16,067 --> 01:10:20,547
Speaker 3: you just google each Sody century, his celebration is so good.

1395
01:10:20,747 --> 01:10:27,067
Speaker 3: You know, it just takes many forms and clear elation obviously,

1396
01:10:27,147 --> 01:10:29,987
Speaker 3: but it's a cool celebration and for one of the

1397
01:10:30,027 --> 01:10:35,227
Speaker 3: top men of first class cricket, elite cricket in our country.

1398
01:10:35,427 --> 01:10:38,787
Speaker 3: Just awesome to see each Sody do that and finally

1399
01:10:38,867 --> 01:10:40,067
Speaker 3: chalk up the three figures.

1400
01:10:40,227 --> 01:10:41,987
Speaker 4: He'll clearly bear a boo part of our white bull

1401
01:10:42,027 --> 01:10:44,187
Speaker 4: sides in the new year as well, so looking forward

1402
01:10:44,187 --> 01:10:47,227
Speaker 4: to seeing him back in the black cap as well.

1403
01:10:47,747 --> 01:10:51,067
Speaker 3: Twenty one away from two James mcconey in studio, shortly

1404
01:10:51,347 --> 01:10:54,747
Speaker 3: just updating you from the Australian PGA Championship. This is

1405
01:10:54,787 --> 01:10:57,667
Speaker 3: a Royal Queensland in Brisbane. Now, I of course did

1406
01:10:57,667 --> 01:11:01,187
Speaker 3: my son's wrong and forgot that Brisbane are three hours behind,

1407
01:11:01,187 --> 01:11:06,227
Speaker 3: not two hours behind. So Kazuma Kabori, Daniel Hilly and

1408
01:11:06,427 --> 01:11:09,107
Speaker 3: Nick Voke not yet underweight, although I think Nick Vote

1409
01:11:09,227 --> 01:11:13,387
Speaker 3: might just about have just teed off in his fourth round.

1410
01:11:13,587 --> 01:11:16,787
Speaker 3: He's ten under the card. Daniel Hillier is eleven under.

1411
01:11:17,067 --> 01:11:20,947
Speaker 3: Kazuma Kabori is twelve under. The leaders are at thirteen under.

1412
01:11:21,067 --> 01:11:24,907
Speaker 3: So those three Kiwis are within striking distance. So they'll

1413
01:11:24,907 --> 01:11:27,707
Speaker 3: all be underway if I have done my sums correctly,

1414
01:11:27,747 --> 01:11:30,787
Speaker 3: and I think I have. They'll bede in the next

1415
01:11:30,827 --> 01:11:33,027
Speaker 3: twenty minutes or so. Each of them will keep eyes

1416
01:11:33,067 --> 01:11:36,387
Speaker 3: on their respective rounds across the next little while as

1417
01:11:36,427 --> 01:11:39,467
Speaker 3: they as they mount their assault on the top of

1418
01:11:39,507 --> 01:11:42,387
Speaker 3: the leaderboard. Couple of other kiwis still there. Josh Gary

1419
01:11:42,427 --> 01:11:44,627
Speaker 3: is two under through nine holes today. He's seven under

1420
01:11:44,667 --> 01:11:47,747
Speaker 3: for the tournament, tie for thirtieth, and Ryan Fox is

1421
01:11:47,747 --> 01:11:50,907
Speaker 3: into the final few holes of his fourth round one

1422
01:11:50,987 --> 01:11:53,587
Speaker 3: under through fourteen, four under for the tournament that has

1423
01:11:53,667 --> 01:11:56,667
Speaker 3: him in a tie for fifty second, twenty to two

1424
01:11:56,707 --> 01:11:58,907
Speaker 3: back in a sect with James mcconey in his regular

1425
01:11:58,947 --> 01:12:00,627
Speaker 3: Sunday slot the.

1426
01:12:00,547 --> 01:12:04,107
Speaker 1: Tough Questions Off the Turf weekends for It with Jason

1427
01:12:04,147 --> 01:12:05,107
Speaker 1: Kine and GJ.

1428
01:12:05,307 --> 01:12:08,387
Speaker 2: Gunderholmes, New Zealand's most trusted home builder.

1429
01:12:10,307 --> 01:12:13,147
Speaker 3: Seventeen away from two Sunday afternoons, we have the pleasure

1430
01:12:13,187 --> 01:12:16,267
Speaker 3: of the company of James mccony in studio this afternoon.

1431
01:12:16,307 --> 01:12:19,587
Speaker 4: Hello mate, get a poney. How are you mate? Very good,

1432
01:12:19,667 --> 01:12:22,347
Speaker 4: great to see you're great to hear you. You've got

1433
01:12:22,387 --> 01:12:25,027
Speaker 4: cricket on your mind this afternoon.

1434
01:12:24,827 --> 01:12:25,427
Speaker 5: Yes, I do.

1435
01:12:25,627 --> 01:12:28,627
Speaker 23: There is something rotten in the state of Denmark, poney,

1436
01:12:28,747 --> 01:12:31,707
Speaker 23: And by Denmark I mean the wider New Zealand cricket community.

1437
01:12:32,507 --> 01:12:34,507
Speaker 23: And it's tough to sort of make this interesting to

1438
01:12:34,547 --> 01:12:37,027
Speaker 23: the average punter. So everyone bear with me, because we're

1439
01:12:37,067 --> 01:12:40,707
Speaker 23: talking about that new T twenty competition that has been

1440
01:12:40,747 --> 01:12:44,747
Speaker 23: backed by Indian money and several former Black Caps Stephen Fleming,

1441
01:12:44,787 --> 01:12:49,467
Speaker 23: Jeff Allott, Daniel Vittori, and it's created a war at

1442
01:12:49,467 --> 01:12:51,867
Speaker 23: New Zealand cricket. Are you aware of this, pony.

1443
01:12:51,787 --> 01:12:52,627
Speaker 4: Very aware of it? Yes?

1444
01:12:52,787 --> 01:12:56,547
Speaker 3: Very Awever, I mean we're following it closely from both sides.

1445
01:12:56,787 --> 01:12:59,627
Speaker 3: Are there is a lot of dialogue, a lot of

1446
01:13:00,227 --> 01:13:03,907
Speaker 3: conversation about this. What are you taking from it? What's

1447
01:13:03,947 --> 01:13:05,907
Speaker 3: front of mind when you're thinking about it at the moment.

1448
01:13:06,347 --> 01:13:09,427
Speaker 23: Well, to me it seems a little bit fishy. But

1449
01:13:09,667 --> 01:13:12,067
Speaker 23: when New Zealand Cricket learned of the plans in September.

1450
01:13:12,107 --> 01:13:16,227
Speaker 23: They asked consultants Deloitte to analyze the four potential options

1451
01:13:16,227 --> 01:13:18,507
Speaker 23: for the future of twenty twenty cricket in New Zealand.

1452
01:13:18,587 --> 01:13:21,067
Speaker 23: So one was the new Consortium. There was a big

1453
01:13:21,107 --> 01:13:24,587
Speaker 23: bash theory, there was a kind of combo of other

1454
01:13:24,667 --> 01:13:27,667
Speaker 23: things and maybe just the status quo stay the same.

1455
01:13:28,187 --> 01:13:31,387
Speaker 23: But the Consortium didn't like that and they appeared to

1456
01:13:31,427 --> 01:13:33,347
Speaker 23: have thrown their toys, and now they're trying to get

1457
01:13:33,467 --> 01:13:37,027
Speaker 23: rid of Scott Ween, the CEO of New Zealand Cricket,

1458
01:13:37,147 --> 01:13:39,427
Speaker 23: who by all accounts has done a pretty good job

1459
01:13:40,427 --> 01:13:44,907
Speaker 23: turned a loss into a profit in the past year.

1460
01:13:45,347 --> 01:13:47,267
Speaker 23: I think even was given a pay rise for doing

1461
01:13:47,307 --> 01:13:50,147
Speaker 23: such a good job, and now a few months later

1462
01:13:50,227 --> 01:13:52,587
Speaker 23: they're trying to oust them. It just doesn't add up

1463
01:13:52,627 --> 01:13:54,387
Speaker 23: to me, Piney, and that's why I sort of think

1464
01:13:54,787 --> 01:13:57,947
Speaker 23: what's going on there? How is how's it got to this?

1465
01:13:58,227 --> 01:14:02,307
Speaker 23: And I know that the consortium say, I've got the

1466
01:14:02,347 --> 01:14:06,947
Speaker 23: backing of the six major associations, so we're talking about districts,

1467
01:14:06,947 --> 01:14:11,267
Speaker 23: central districts, et cetera, et cetera. And they spoke to

1468
01:14:11,307 --> 01:14:15,347
Speaker 23: those associations behind New Zealand Crickets back. But I've heard

1469
01:14:15,387 --> 01:14:18,747
Speaker 23: that northern districts are actually saying pump the brakes here.

1470
01:14:19,027 --> 01:14:22,947
Speaker 23: We want to hear all the proposals and just see

1471
01:14:22,987 --> 01:14:27,387
Speaker 23: where it lands. But somehow WHENIX heads on the block.

1472
01:14:27,987 --> 01:14:32,147
Speaker 4: Well, we had Don mckinnonon last week. He is sort

1473
01:14:32,187 --> 01:14:36,187
Speaker 4: of heading up the establishing Committee or the Investigative Committee

1474
01:14:36,227 --> 01:14:38,187
Speaker 4: of of NZ twenty of you like. So we spoke

1475
01:14:38,227 --> 01:14:40,587
Speaker 4: to him last week on the show and he said, well, yes,

1476
01:14:40,627 --> 01:14:43,267
Speaker 4: we know, we're just one of four options that New

1477
01:14:43,347 --> 01:14:46,227
Speaker 4: Zealand Cricket are considering, and he said, we think that's

1478
01:14:46,307 --> 01:14:48,747
Speaker 4: good governance that they are looking at all the options.

1479
01:14:48,787 --> 01:14:49,387
Speaker 4: And he's right.

1480
01:14:49,667 --> 01:14:52,147
Speaker 3: Obviously, if you have her above something, you don't just

1481
01:14:52,147 --> 01:14:54,787
Speaker 3: go for the bright shiny option every time you consider

1482
01:14:55,187 --> 01:14:56,107
Speaker 3: all of the options.

1483
01:14:56,107 --> 01:14:57,427
Speaker 4: So I'm a little bit like you.

1484
01:14:57,427 --> 01:14:59,867
Speaker 3: I'm not quite sure how it's got to where it's

1485
01:14:59,867 --> 01:15:02,187
Speaker 3: got to. But if I've learned anything about sport and

1486
01:15:02,267 --> 01:15:06,267
Speaker 3: professional sport in my time covering it, it's that off

1487
01:15:07,227 --> 01:15:12,467
Speaker 3: best practice can be jettisoned by differences in personality. I'm

1488
01:15:12,467 --> 01:15:14,667
Speaker 3: not sure if that's what's happened here, but I get

1489
01:15:14,707 --> 01:15:16,387
Speaker 3: the feeling it may be playing a part.

1490
01:15:16,587 --> 01:15:18,987
Speaker 23: Yeah, the issue is, I mean, this is a story

1491
01:15:18,987 --> 01:15:21,867
Speaker 23: about boardroom politics and some would say bored in politics,

1492
01:15:21,867 --> 01:15:24,707
Speaker 23: but hey, we're going to make it interesting by saying that.

1493
01:15:24,787 --> 01:15:26,827
Speaker 23: I think when Don McKinnon came on and we were

1494
01:15:26,867 --> 01:15:30,827
Speaker 23: talking about not the politician, it's this is the sports administrator.

1495
01:15:31,307 --> 01:15:34,107
Speaker 23: I mean, I guess he was probably trying to say

1496
01:15:34,147 --> 01:15:36,707
Speaker 23: the right things, but I hear that you know that

1497
01:15:36,747 --> 01:15:40,027
Speaker 23: this is the fact that Weenix Head is on the

1498
01:15:40,107 --> 01:15:45,827
Speaker 23: chopping block is because that the consortium has backing inside

1499
01:15:45,867 --> 01:15:49,627
Speaker 23: the NZ Cricket boardroom. So and that the irony is,

1500
01:15:50,547 --> 01:15:54,187
Speaker 23: you know, Dom McKinnon is he's the chair of New

1501
01:15:54,307 --> 01:15:59,947
Speaker 23: Zealand's Sport Integrity Commission. So I was going, well, where's

1502
01:15:59,947 --> 01:16:03,667
Speaker 23: the integrity and going behind New Zealand Crickets back courting,

1503
01:16:03,707 --> 01:16:06,987
Speaker 23: you know, major associations, then ambushing news Ellen Cricket with

1504
01:16:07,067 --> 01:16:10,107
Speaker 23: a proposal that either has to be accepted or the

1505
01:16:10,147 --> 01:16:12,947
Speaker 23: CEO loses his job. There's not much integrity there in

1506
01:16:12,987 --> 01:16:16,587
Speaker 23: my opinion. But the thing is, even Don might have

1507
01:16:16,627 --> 01:16:20,627
Speaker 23: to investigate himself pony, and even though that seems like

1508
01:16:20,667 --> 01:16:24,387
Speaker 23: a joke, who can New Zealand Cricket complain to when

1509
01:16:24,787 --> 01:16:27,307
Speaker 23: the Integrity Commission is the guy fronting the new private

1510
01:16:27,387 --> 01:16:29,667
Speaker 23: league that's sitting in front of you giving you an

1511
01:16:29,747 --> 01:16:31,307
Speaker 23: ultimatum if.

1512
01:16:31,227 --> 01:16:33,387
Speaker 3: We zoom out from it just for a sec. Do

1513
01:16:33,427 --> 01:16:36,427
Speaker 3: you what is your view on the current domestic T

1514
01:16:36,427 --> 01:16:41,027
Speaker 3: twenty competition? Do you agree that it needs a look

1515
01:16:41,067 --> 01:16:43,387
Speaker 3: at for one of these, you know, whatever the proposal

1516
01:16:43,387 --> 01:16:46,467
Speaker 3: that whichever proposal they land on, do you agree that

1517
01:16:46,467 --> 01:16:49,107
Speaker 3: that it needs to be changed, that it is not

1518
01:16:49,107 --> 01:16:51,867
Speaker 3: not currently doing the job, that it's that it's there.

1519
01:16:51,707 --> 01:16:54,107
Speaker 23: For Yeah, I think that there needs to be a

1520
01:16:54,147 --> 01:16:56,347
Speaker 23: little bit of juging up. And it's quite tricky because

1521
01:16:56,347 --> 01:16:59,347
Speaker 23: remember the Super Smash runs you know, parallel with New

1522
01:16:59,427 --> 01:17:02,067
Speaker 23: Zealand cricket games, so you often don't have the best

1523
01:17:02,067 --> 01:17:04,347
Speaker 23: players available and they might not be available even with

1524
01:17:04,387 --> 01:17:07,067
Speaker 23: the backing of the Indian and v Ess, you know.

1525
01:17:07,187 --> 01:17:12,027
Speaker 23: But I think the idea that when and the NZI

1526
01:17:12,067 --> 01:17:14,467
Speaker 23: Cricket were in talks with the Big Bash, which is

1527
01:17:14,507 --> 01:17:16,347
Speaker 23: a huge league, and if they could get a team

1528
01:17:16,467 --> 01:17:19,227
Speaker 23: or teams into the Big Bash like the Warriors in

1529
01:17:19,267 --> 01:17:22,107
Speaker 23: the NRL or you know the Wellington Phoenix and Aukland

1530
01:17:22,107 --> 01:17:24,067
Speaker 23: their c in the A league, and that the players

1531
01:17:24,067 --> 01:17:28,227
Speaker 23: can become domestic players. They're all available, they don't count

1532
01:17:28,427 --> 01:17:32,467
Speaker 23: for your overseas player quota. Then it's actually a pretty

1533
01:17:32,507 --> 01:17:35,307
Speaker 23: cool deal if they can get that through. But then

1534
01:17:35,387 --> 01:17:38,067
Speaker 23: some maybe that's the big battle because the major associations

1535
01:17:38,107 --> 01:17:41,267
Speaker 23: feel that they'll be left behind. But currently the Super

1536
01:17:41,267 --> 01:17:45,787
Speaker 23: Smash has had years of not having the best players playing,

1537
01:17:45,947 --> 01:17:49,187
Speaker 23: but they've also provided a lot of stars. If you

1538
01:17:49,227 --> 01:17:52,467
Speaker 23: look at their you know that the best players or

1539
01:17:52,467 --> 01:17:54,787
Speaker 23: the leader charts of every single Super Smash. You know,

1540
01:17:54,867 --> 01:17:57,987
Speaker 23: Devin Conway became a black cap, same with Glenn Phillips,

1541
01:17:57,987 --> 01:18:01,347
Speaker 23: Mark Chapman. It is still a really good feeder league.

1542
01:18:01,467 --> 01:18:04,427
Speaker 23: But look, they need to do something there. And that's

1543
01:18:04,467 --> 01:18:06,507
Speaker 23: why I sort of feel like, let's just see what

1544
01:18:06,547 --> 01:18:09,547
Speaker 23: happens with this with the findings of Deloitte, and let

1545
01:18:10,187 --> 01:18:12,547
Speaker 23: let a CEO who's actually got some vision to sort

1546
01:18:12,547 --> 01:18:15,707
Speaker 23: of make a call. But if it doesn't fall your way,

1547
01:18:15,747 --> 01:18:17,787
Speaker 23: I don't I don't think it's worth throwing your toys

1548
01:18:17,787 --> 01:18:20,707
Speaker 23: that like the Consortium have. And what worries me Piney

1549
01:18:20,747 --> 01:18:23,587
Speaker 23: is you know, I've watched the reporting and I wonder

1550
01:18:23,627 --> 01:18:26,947
Speaker 23: who are the independent cricket journalists anymore. It's quite tricky

1551
01:18:26,987 --> 01:18:30,147
Speaker 23: because you've got Heath Mills from the Players Association, who's

1552
01:18:30,267 --> 01:18:32,787
Speaker 23: behind this. Well, he's drinking buddies with a lot of

1553
01:18:32,787 --> 01:18:35,467
Speaker 23: cricket journalists who we know, and so I don't know

1554
01:18:35,507 --> 01:18:38,867
Speaker 23: that probably either behind it or staying quiet on it.

1555
01:18:39,147 --> 01:18:42,267
Speaker 23: So you've got that kind of faction as well. And

1556
01:18:42,307 --> 01:18:45,387
Speaker 23: then you've got David Hallman, who is used to be

1557
01:18:45,387 --> 01:18:48,187
Speaker 23: the boss of WADA and he's involved in Wellington cricket.

1558
01:18:48,227 --> 01:18:52,027
Speaker 23: Now you know, the world antidoping guy. He's pushing the barrow.

1559
01:18:52,067 --> 01:18:54,627
Speaker 23: And then you've got Victorian Fleming. And if I was

1560
01:18:54,827 --> 01:18:56,787
Speaker 23: for Victoria or Fleming, I wouldn't want a bar of

1561
01:18:56,827 --> 01:18:59,467
Speaker 23: this that sort of known for their leadership and the

1562
01:18:59,547 --> 01:19:02,227
Speaker 23: Consortium so far I think has shown quite the opposite.

1563
01:19:02,347 --> 01:19:04,747
Speaker 23: And you know their bank balance might benefit, but I

1564
01:19:04,747 --> 01:19:06,707
Speaker 23: think their mana will diminish.

1565
01:19:07,307 --> 01:19:09,467
Speaker 4: Very interesting thoughts, James, Very interesting.

1566
01:19:09,507 --> 01:19:12,067
Speaker 23: I mean has to be said news talks, there be

1567
01:19:12,227 --> 01:19:15,227
Speaker 23: you guys, there's going to be investigation Jiff two V.

1568
01:19:16,027 --> 01:19:18,427
Speaker 23: I mean if Mike Costking, I mean hand in your

1569
01:19:18,467 --> 01:19:21,147
Speaker 23: journalism card, if he doesn't dig deeper, Because you can

1570
01:19:21,147 --> 01:19:24,067
Speaker 23: get blinded by people with lots of money and they

1571
01:19:24,107 --> 01:19:27,347
Speaker 23: will get paid, but the only person if we get

1572
01:19:27,347 --> 01:19:29,467
Speaker 23: into the Big Bash or whatever. It's just you know,

1573
01:19:29,747 --> 01:19:32,787
Speaker 23: there's no kickbacks or handouts or any kind of stuff.

1574
01:19:32,787 --> 01:19:34,907
Speaker 23: It's just, you know, our best players get to play

1575
01:19:34,907 --> 01:19:37,907
Speaker 23: in the Big Bash. So I don't know, it just

1576
01:19:38,067 --> 01:19:41,347
Speaker 23: seems weird just seeing that suddenly this CEO has done

1577
01:19:41,387 --> 01:19:43,507
Speaker 23: a pretty good job, has got his head on the

1578
01:19:43,587 --> 01:19:47,067
Speaker 23: chopping block. That doesn't really add up. It's very very fishy, pony.

1579
01:19:47,547 --> 01:19:50,267
Speaker 3: Interesting to hear an alternative view, because you're about the

1580
01:19:50,267 --> 01:19:53,067
Speaker 3: first one I've heard to have voiced an alternative view

1581
01:19:53,267 --> 01:19:55,787
Speaker 3: on this. So yeah, so I appreciate you doing so.

1582
01:19:56,107 --> 01:19:59,227
Speaker 3: Just before you go, I was a Nelson on Friday night, Yes,

1583
01:19:59,667 --> 01:20:02,387
Speaker 3: lucky enough to get invited along to the Nelson Sports Awards,

1584
01:20:03,027 --> 01:20:06,427
Speaker 3: administered by Sport Tasmin now Sport Tasman. Of course the

1585
01:20:06,507 --> 01:20:08,787
Speaker 3: name would suggest. Look after the Top of the South

1586
01:20:09,347 --> 01:20:13,507
Speaker 3: and the reviews, I was hearing about your MC job

1587
01:20:14,027 --> 01:20:18,387
Speaker 3: at the Mulbra Sports Awards the previous week. Goodness, gracious me,

1588
01:20:18,467 --> 01:20:21,947
Speaker 3: I'm surprised you is aren't still burning with the praise

1589
01:20:22,107 --> 01:20:24,507
Speaker 3: that was coming your way. The way that you the

1590
01:20:24,547 --> 01:20:28,467
Speaker 3: way that you apparently just just mesmerized the entire room

1591
01:20:28,547 --> 01:20:29,427
Speaker 3: there and blend them.

1592
01:20:29,787 --> 01:20:32,027
Speaker 23: Jesus was a slow start, pony. You know when you

1593
01:20:32,467 --> 01:20:34,707
Speaker 23: try to crack a few jokes and no one laughs

1594
01:20:34,747 --> 01:20:37,307
Speaker 23: and you get the sweats, you know, I know what

1595
01:20:37,347 --> 01:20:40,667
Speaker 23: that's like. Yeah, it took a lot of work to

1596
01:20:40,707 --> 01:20:43,267
Speaker 23: bring them around. But in the end, we were you know,

1597
01:20:43,347 --> 01:20:45,147
Speaker 23: we were we were lucky because I think there were

1598
01:20:45,187 --> 01:20:47,987
Speaker 23: some interesting characters who came up, not least been O'Keefe

1599
01:20:48,027 --> 01:20:53,907
Speaker 23: and and Tamathy Tavetamanawa's first coach, Bill Bill Matthews. So

1600
01:20:54,187 --> 01:20:55,667
Speaker 23: we were, we were lucky. But I heard you did

1601
01:20:55,667 --> 01:20:58,187
Speaker 23: the same at the Nelson Sports Awards, mate, So maybe

1602
01:20:58,227 --> 01:20:59,787
Speaker 23: we need to do a swap and then do a

1603
01:20:59,907 --> 01:21:03,347
Speaker 23: and get Deloitte and to do an official study of

1604
01:21:03,387 --> 01:21:07,387
Speaker 23: who actually mc these these tans and sports awards better.

1605
01:21:08,027 --> 01:21:09,387
Speaker 3: I can tell well, I can tell you what the

1606
01:21:09,427 --> 01:21:11,587
Speaker 3: findings will be. Well, I've got a gut feel what

1607
01:21:11,707 --> 01:21:13,627
Speaker 3: the findings will be. But yeah, maybe we need to

1608
01:21:14,147 --> 01:21:15,947
Speaker 3: need to employ them. Great to Jed as always, mate,

1609
01:21:15,947 --> 01:21:17,827

1612
01:21:23,067 --> 01:21:25,307

1634
01:22:20,787 --> 01:22:23,907
Speaker 3: has already picked up a stroke in his fourth round.

1635
01:22:23,947 --> 01:22:27,147
Speaker 3: Early in his fourth round at the PGA Championship in Brisbane,

1636
01:22:27,267 --> 01:22:29,867
Speaker 3: he is now up to eleven under for the tournament.

1637
01:22:29,947 --> 01:22:32,867
Speaker 3: That's level with Daniel Hillier, who has part his first

1638
01:22:32,907 --> 01:22:37,027
Speaker 3: hole today to stay at eleven under. Kazuma Kabori hasn't

1639
01:22:37,107 --> 01:22:39,587
Speaker 3: yet registered his first hole. From what I can see

1640
01:22:39,587 --> 01:22:41,867
Speaker 3: on the scorecard here, he is at twelve under. The

1641
01:22:41,947 --> 01:22:43,787
Speaker 3: leaders are at thirteen under. This is going to be

1642
01:22:44,147 --> 01:22:47,947

1665

Speaker 3: as you've probably picked up over the weekend. There's been

1666
01:24:04,267 --> 01:24:11,547

01:26:58,107 --> 01:27:01,307
Speaker 24: doesn't himself, for he's long but a big rifle. The

1719
01:27:01,467 --> 01:27:04,867
Speaker 24: Ben told him he's got a stress to the ground.

1720
01:27:04,987 --> 01:27:09,507
Speaker 2: Hilder doesn't know. Is he a little killy la sung up?

1721

Speaker 5: There is no try has.

1722
01:27:12,787 --> 01:27:17,147
Speaker 25: Held up Ben Dalton some way somehow and New Zealand

1723
01:27:17,187 --> 01:27:18,067
Speaker 25: get away with one.

1724
01:27:18,507 --> 01:27:21,627
Speaker 4: They have and will, as I say, face fig in

1725
01:27:21,707 --> 01:27:22,467

Speaker 3: will face Japan and their semi Despite a shock loss.

1729
01:27:33,627 --> 01:27:36,667
Speaker 20: A try wins it for the Black Ferns, his Sorenson McGee.

1730
01:27:37,027 --> 01:27:39,907
Speaker 20: She buys a bit of time that's gone forward and

1731
01:27:40,027 --> 01:27:42,787
Speaker 20: they may well survive here the USA they do.

1732
01:27:43,467 --> 01:27:43,827
Speaker 17: They do.

1733
01:27:45,627 --> 01:27:49,827
Speaker 20: Celebration time for the USA. They have snapped a four

1734
01:27:49,907 --> 01:27:53,907
Speaker 20: seen game losing streak against New Zealand and the Black.

1735
01:27:53,667 --> 01:27:56,147
Speaker 3: Ferns can't quite believe it. Yeah, but they went through

1736
01:27:56,227 --> 01:27:59,267
Speaker 3: to the semi's okay. They play Japan at twelve minutes

1737
01:27:59,347 --> 01:28:04,387
Speaker 3: past ten tonight and another dark day for Welsh rugby,

1738
01:28:04,947 --> 01:28:09,747
Speaker 3: a record at seven three nil defeat at home at

1739
01:28:09,787 --> 01:28:11,427
Speaker 3: the hands of South Africa and.

1740
01:28:11,547 --> 01:28:17,027
Speaker 26: Waleses agony brought to a close, battered in Cardiff like

1741
01:28:17,187 --> 01:28:22,747
Speaker 26: they have never been batted before. It takes the very best,

1742
01:28:22,907 --> 01:28:26,747
Speaker 26: maybe the best ever, to post totals like this, and

1743
01:28:26,947 --> 01:28:32,027
Speaker 26: that is unquestionably these South Africans, these spring Boks.

1744
01:28:32,547 --> 01:28:36,867
Speaker 4: Who end the year with the record breaking.

1745
01:28:36,667 --> 01:28:41,107
Speaker 1: Flourish the school from the track field and the court

1746
01:28:41,307 --> 01:28:44,947
Speaker 1: on your home of Sport Weekend Sport with Jason Vine

1747
01:28:45,147 --> 01:28:45,907
Speaker 1: Youth Talks.

1748
01:28:45,707 --> 01:28:48,347
Speaker 4: In b coming up twelve minutes past two.

1749
01:28:48,627 --> 01:28:52,307
Speaker 3: After two straight home defeats in just one victory in

1750
01:28:52,387 --> 01:28:55,627
Speaker 3: their first five games of the A League Means Football season,

1751
01:28:55,947 --> 01:28:59,827
Speaker 3: the Wellington Phoenix back in the winner's circle and is there.

1752
01:28:59,787 --> 01:29:09,507
Speaker 4: The last opportunity for the visitors light in the Wellington Phoenix.

1753
01:29:10,547 --> 01:29:14,947
Speaker 25: They climbed from their recent front defeat one of the

1754
01:29:15,067 --> 01:29:22,107
Speaker 25: competition's form sites and springboard themselves into next weekend's Darby.

1755
01:29:23,387 --> 01:29:28,347
Speaker 25: How crucial might that performance that result be when they

1756
01:29:28,427 --> 01:29:30,107
Speaker 25: look back upon this season.

1757
01:29:30,427 --> 01:29:32,707
Speaker 3: So a two to one win for the Wellington Phoenix

1758
01:29:32,827 --> 01:29:36,067
Speaker 3: over Adelaide United yesterday. Alex Rufer opening the scoring of

1759
01:29:36,107 --> 01:29:38,707
Speaker 3: the first half, Remy Nazarene adding a second from the

1760
01:29:38,747 --> 01:29:43,627
Speaker 3: penalty spot After an hour, Young Joey Gerruccio on deve

1761
01:29:43,667 --> 01:29:45,787
Speaker 3: Boo off the bench for Adelaide, making it two to

1762
01:29:45,867 --> 01:29:48,907
Speaker 3: one with fifteen minutes to go, but the Phoenix hanging

1763
01:29:48,987 --> 01:29:52,227
Speaker 3: on for a crucial three points. Former Phoenix and All

1764
01:29:52,227 --> 01:29:56,267
Speaker 3: Whites goalkeeper Jacob Spoonley was in the Skysport commentary box

1765
01:29:56,347 --> 01:29:59,347
Speaker 3: for this one and will be again for Auckland FC's

1766
01:29:59,467 --> 01:30:03,347
Speaker 3: next match against Newcastle this afternoon underway at three o'clock.

1767
01:30:03,627 --> 01:30:05,347
Speaker 3: Jacob want to talk about the Auckland f C game

1768
01:30:05,387 --> 01:30:08,987
Speaker 3: in a moment. But for the Phoenix, how needed was

1769
01:30:09,067 --> 01:30:10,707
Speaker 3: this win for them yesterday?

1770
01:30:12,067 --> 01:30:14,787
Speaker 15: Very finey and it was a different team, wasn't it.

1771
01:30:15,907 --> 01:30:18,987
Speaker 15: They looked absolutely polar opposites from the side that took

1772
01:30:19,027 --> 01:30:23,347
Speaker 15: the field against MacArthur, and they had energy, They moved

1773
01:30:23,427 --> 01:30:26,107
Speaker 15: with intention and we've talked a lot about how this

1774
01:30:26,507 --> 01:30:30,747
Speaker 15: sort to control games through possession and pressure, but that

1775
01:30:30,947 --> 01:30:33,667
Speaker 15: had a purpose yesterday and that was really clear from

1776
01:30:33,707 --> 01:30:36,987
Speaker 15: the outset. We wanted a response after the derby, didn't

1777
01:30:36,987 --> 01:30:38,987
Speaker 15: get it last week, but got it in the first

1778
01:30:39,227 --> 01:30:43,507
Speaker 15: fifteen minutes yesterday, and importantly, they created a product at

1779
01:30:43,507 --> 01:30:46,947
Speaker 15: the end that Alex Rufer I could argue one of

1780
01:30:46,987 --> 01:30:49,827
Speaker 15: the best players on the field. He was a difference

1781
01:30:49,867 --> 01:30:53,907
Speaker 15: and he gave kind of value to the inertiap that

1782
01:30:53,947 --> 01:30:54,707
Speaker 15: they had created.

1783
01:30:55,587 --> 01:31:00,667
Speaker 3: In your experience, is it common for teams to play

1784
01:31:01,267 --> 01:31:03,947
Speaker 3: and I'm not going to sugarcoat this terribly one week

1785
01:31:04,427 --> 01:31:07,707
Speaker 3: and then come out and play far, far better than

1786
01:31:07,747 --> 01:31:10,587
Speaker 3: next And what causes that? How can the same group

1787
01:31:10,667 --> 01:31:12,947
Speaker 3: of players be so different from wake?

1788
01:31:12,987 --> 01:31:13,147
Speaker 5: Do like?

1789
01:31:13,267 --> 01:31:15,627
Speaker 4: It must be terribly difficult for coaches.

1790
01:31:16,867 --> 01:31:19,067
Speaker 15: I like how you've come to the expert not playing

1791
01:31:19,227 --> 01:31:25,627
Speaker 15: very well, Piney, But you're right, a professional sport, it's

1792
01:31:25,667 --> 01:31:27,547
Speaker 15: a grind. It still is a job, and you can

1793
01:31:27,667 --> 01:31:32,227
Speaker 15: get very much into the rhythms of it. So going

1794
01:31:32,267 --> 01:31:34,907
Speaker 15: through the motions has a really bad connotation. But what

1795
01:31:35,027 --> 01:31:37,347
Speaker 15: I want the audience to appreciate is that you know,

1796
01:31:37,467 --> 01:31:40,707
Speaker 15: there's still very much is you know, being stuck in

1797
01:31:40,787 --> 01:31:43,307
Speaker 15: the rhythm of the job. And from what we heard,

1798
01:31:43,427 --> 01:31:47,227
Speaker 15: chiefly obviously didn't like the game last week, But what

1799
01:31:47,427 --> 01:31:50,747
Speaker 15: he's really focused on is connecting this football team back

1800
01:31:50,827 --> 01:31:53,667
Speaker 15: to the community that they represent, and importantly the Yellow

1801
01:31:53,707 --> 01:31:56,467
Speaker 15: Fea fans that are so invested he got decide to

1802
01:31:56,587 --> 01:32:00,867
Speaker 15: sit in the stands and to appreciate quite literally the

1803
01:32:01,027 --> 01:32:04,307
Speaker 15: game from the perspective of the fans. And I think

1804
01:32:04,587 --> 01:32:07,547
Speaker 15: in those sorts of experiences for the players there's a

1805
01:32:07,587 --> 01:32:10,747
Speaker 15: lot of value because it takes them out of the training,

1806
01:32:10,867 --> 01:32:14,067
Speaker 15: out of the minutia of passing the ball, working only

1807
01:32:14,147 --> 01:32:16,067
Speaker 15: touch all that sort of things, and gets them to

1808
01:32:16,147 --> 01:32:19,947
Speaker 15: realize that not only do they represent a city, but

1809
01:32:20,747 --> 01:32:24,027
Speaker 15: they need to ensure that they reflect the qualities and

1810
01:32:24,307 --> 01:32:27,427
Speaker 15: the energy and the investment from the fans. And I

1811
01:32:27,507 --> 01:32:29,227
Speaker 15: think that's a really smart move from them. So not

1812
01:32:29,347 --> 01:32:31,907
Speaker 15: only was it a reaction after McCarthy game, but it

1813
01:32:32,027 --> 01:32:33,827
Speaker 15: was also all right, let's get back to who we

1814
01:32:33,947 --> 01:32:37,227
Speaker 15: are and what we want to do. And that's definitely

1815
01:32:37,827 --> 01:32:40,067
Speaker 15: put the Phoenix on the front foot. I think, well

1816
01:32:40,107 --> 01:32:41,307
Speaker 15: before the ninety minutes.

1817
01:32:41,147 --> 01:32:43,467
Speaker 3: Indeed, well, their next assignment's a big one, the derby.

1818
01:32:43,507 --> 01:32:45,507
Speaker 3: I want to talk about Auckland Left. C's a game

1819
01:32:45,547 --> 01:32:48,987
Speaker 3: this afternoon in a moment, But how crucial was yesterday

1820
01:32:49,027 --> 01:32:51,347
Speaker 3: and how much confidence will the Phoenix take is they

1821
01:32:51,427 --> 01:32:54,827
Speaker 3: had to derby number five against Auckland Left, say they've

1822
01:32:54,867 --> 01:32:57,547
Speaker 3: lost the last four, how much of a springboard will

1823
01:32:57,627 --> 01:32:58,427
Speaker 3: yesterday give them.

1824
01:33:00,227 --> 01:33:04,707
Speaker 15: I think the performance was the most important aspect yesterday.

1825
01:33:04,827 --> 01:33:07,027
Speaker 15: The result was there and that's confident building, and not

1826
01:33:07,147 --> 01:33:09,867
Speaker 15: only does it give you confidence into the derby, but

1827
01:33:09,907 --> 01:33:12,227
Speaker 15: it also puts the Phoenix at the moment in the

1828
01:33:12,347 --> 01:33:14,987
Speaker 15: top six. So they when they look at the table,

1829
01:33:15,147 --> 01:33:20,267
Speaker 15: they all see themselves up around the likes of Sydney FC,

1830
01:33:20,867 --> 01:33:24,147
Speaker 15: Auckland's FC and Prisdan Raw So they are still kind

1831
01:33:24,187 --> 01:33:28,267
Speaker 15: of attached to that conversation. The other thing to note,

1832
01:33:29,027 --> 01:33:32,627
Speaker 15: Piney is that the way the Phoenix went about their

1833
01:33:32,707 --> 01:33:35,907
Speaker 15: job yesterday, they wanted to get on that front foot.

1834
01:33:35,947 --> 01:33:38,947
Speaker 15: As I said before, there was an urgency about their

1835
01:33:39,027 --> 01:33:40,427
Speaker 15: game that we haven't seen at times.

1836
01:33:40,507 --> 01:33:42,187
Speaker 22: This is a side that has put.

1837
01:33:42,107 --> 01:33:45,187
Speaker 15: A lot of stock in controlling matches, perhaps been a

1838
01:33:45,227 --> 01:33:48,227
Speaker 15: bit conservative at times, but what we saw yesterday was

1839
01:33:48,227 --> 01:33:51,267
Speaker 15: a side that wanted to press, that wanted to disrupt,

1840
01:33:51,387 --> 01:33:54,547
Speaker 15: never let Adelaide settle on the ball, and those sorts

1841
01:33:54,747 --> 01:33:57,707
Speaker 15: of aspects to the game. Those qualities are going to

1842
01:33:57,747 --> 01:34:00,547
Speaker 15: be so instrumental because they will be walking into a

1843
01:34:00,747 --> 01:34:05,667
Speaker 15: cauldron at go Media Stadium next weekend. Auckland's stowed up

1844
01:34:06,027 --> 01:34:10,707
Speaker 15: beat the Phoenix two to one, done their hometown with

1845
01:34:10,907 --> 01:34:13,707
Speaker 15: nine men, and what we're sharing is that there is

1846
01:34:13,747 --> 01:34:15,747
Speaker 15: a thinks that this is going to be the b

1847
01:34:15,867 --> 01:34:18,667
Speaker 15: starvy yet because Auckland wants to make a spectacle out

1848
01:34:18,667 --> 01:34:21,747
Speaker 15: of this. We've seen behind the scenes that this Auckland

1849
01:34:21,787 --> 01:34:25,867
Speaker 15: management staff prioritizer Derby. They want to make it a statement.

1850
01:34:25,947 --> 01:34:29,867
Speaker 15: They want to suppress Leanings and Phoenix, and there is

1851
01:34:30,547 --> 01:34:33,587
Speaker 15: a growing sense within the Phoenix I think that they

1852
01:34:33,707 --> 01:34:36,187
Speaker 15: really want to land a blow. Publicly, they won't say it,

1853
01:34:36,227 --> 01:34:37,867
Speaker 15: they won't build it up too much, but I think

1854
01:34:37,987 --> 01:34:40,987
Speaker 15: privately they want to get their own back and this

1855
01:34:41,147 --> 01:34:42,427
Speaker 15: is a great time for.

1856
01:34:42,467 --> 01:34:43,667
Speaker 9: Them to go and do it well.

1857
01:34:43,707 --> 01:34:44,987
Speaker 4: They can focus their energy on that.

1858
01:34:45,107 --> 01:34:48,307
Speaker 3: Now for Auckland FC, they of course have to negotiate

1859
01:34:48,467 --> 01:34:51,227
Speaker 3: their next assignment, which is in just an hour or

1860
01:34:51,307 --> 01:34:55,427
Speaker 3: so when they take on Newcastle ABG Media Stadium. You

1861
01:34:55,507 --> 01:34:59,107
Speaker 3: know you talk about subpar performances. Steve Coriker pulled no

1862
01:34:59,347 --> 01:35:02,107
Speaker 3: punches last week when he joined you on the Sky

1863
01:35:02,387 --> 01:35:05,147
Speaker 3: panel after the game against Brisbane, even though they came

1864
01:35:05,187 --> 01:35:07,867
Speaker 3: away with a one all draw, he said, this is

1865
01:35:07,947 --> 01:35:10,427
Speaker 3: the worst we've played since I've been here, and that's

1866
01:35:10,467 --> 01:35:14,107
Speaker 3: the entire life of the club. How likely is a

1867
01:35:14,227 --> 01:35:17,387
Speaker 3: reaction from Auckland FC this afternoon to what happened a

1868
01:35:17,467 --> 01:35:17,867
Speaker 3: week ago.

1869
01:35:18,627 --> 01:35:22,107
Speaker 15: We've already seen one piney so Marley France, are Jake

1870
01:35:22,147 --> 01:35:23,907
Speaker 15: Bremmer and Dan Hall of being introduced to the squad,

1871
01:35:24,187 --> 01:35:27,107
Speaker 15: and I'll take you behind the scenes. Just rewinding to

1872
01:35:27,227 --> 01:35:31,107
Speaker 15: last week, we're on the panel and Steve has very

1873
01:35:31,227 --> 01:35:33,947
Speaker 15: clearly delivered a message in the responses to the first

1874
01:35:33,987 --> 01:35:37,027
Speaker 15: two questions that we've had, and I thought at that

1875
01:35:37,107 --> 01:35:41,027
Speaker 15: point we were moving on, and then in my ears

1876
01:35:41,587 --> 01:35:44,547
Speaker 15: from our producer Kingsley, comes one more question. So I

1877
01:35:44,627 --> 01:35:46,907
Speaker 15: came up with something on the spot, got pretty much

1878
01:35:46,947 --> 01:35:49,467
Speaker 15: exactly the same response from Steve, which is not happy.

1879
01:35:49,707 --> 01:35:52,187
Speaker 15: There's going to be something that's talked about internally and

1880
01:35:52,267 --> 01:35:54,867
Speaker 15: we need to be better great and messing blaired Dainty

1881
01:35:54,947 --> 01:35:55,427
Speaker 15: the director.

1882
01:35:55,587 --> 01:35:56,707
Speaker 18: Clearly something are going wrong.

1883
01:35:56,747 --> 01:35:58,627
Speaker 15: He's like, hey, guys, just one more question. I was like,

1884
01:35:59,187 --> 01:36:03,787
Speaker 15: I can feel the heat radiating often guy, I was

1885
01:36:03,907 --> 01:36:05,227
Speaker 15: panning right next to him.

1886
01:36:05,667 --> 01:36:07,467
Speaker 13: No more question, Let him go.

1887
01:36:08,027 --> 01:36:10,587
Speaker 15: Let him go and process what he needs to process.

1888
01:36:11,347 --> 01:36:14,147
Speaker 15: But in terms of Auckland and the way they want

1889
01:36:14,187 --> 01:36:17,547
Speaker 15: to play, for me, the most important thing today is

1890
01:36:17,627 --> 01:36:20,507
Speaker 15: the press. It is how they want to use what

1891
01:36:20,747 --> 01:36:24,107
Speaker 15: is an effect of defensive action and weaponize it against

1892
01:36:24,387 --> 01:36:26,827
Speaker 15: Newcastle Jets. And this is a side that might play

1893
01:36:26,867 --> 01:36:30,467
Speaker 15: into the teeth of that defensive effort, of that energy,

1894
01:36:30,667 --> 01:36:34,147
Speaker 15: of that intention for Auckland f C. The Jets under

1895
01:36:34,187 --> 01:36:36,267
Speaker 15: Mark Milligan are a side that do want to play

1896
01:36:36,267 --> 01:36:39,587
Speaker 15: They want to play short. There are shades of Angiposta,

1897
01:36:39,667 --> 01:36:44,387
Speaker 15: Conglu and Mark Milligan and they will want to play

1898
01:36:44,587 --> 01:36:49,787
Speaker 15: through whatever is posed by Auckland's and any means necessary.

1899
01:36:50,707 --> 01:36:53,387
Speaker 15: And that is something that I think is going to

1900
01:36:53,387 --> 01:36:55,627
Speaker 15: be a fascinating bat of what wins out the press

1901
01:36:56,347 --> 01:36:59,987
Speaker 15: or the commitment to playing what will be methodical football.

1902
01:37:00,787 --> 01:37:04,067
Speaker 3: Do you think Auckland FC are a better team potentially

1903
01:37:04,387 --> 01:37:08,467
Speaker 3: this year than last year? Ross wise, having had the

1904
01:37:08,587 --> 01:37:11,827
Speaker 3: one season under their belt, they were very very good

1905
01:37:11,867 --> 01:37:15,347
Speaker 3: in their maiden season. Could they potentially be a better

1906
01:37:15,467 --> 01:37:17,107
Speaker 3: team in season two.

1907
01:37:18,627 --> 01:37:23,587
Speaker 15: It's a really interesting question, and I think everyone's perspective

1908
01:37:23,667 --> 01:37:28,027
Speaker 15: on this is colored by comparing the Auckland side that

1909
01:37:28,227 --> 01:37:31,027
Speaker 15: we came to love and gave us so much excitement

1910
01:37:31,067 --> 01:37:34,227
Speaker 15: in the back end of the year to this team

1911
01:37:34,307 --> 01:37:36,747
Speaker 15: that is really working its way into the season, They've

1912
01:37:36,747 --> 01:37:39,707
Speaker 15: worked your way through injuries, they've got new recruitment, so

1913
01:37:39,747 --> 01:37:44,787
Speaker 15: there's always a phasing imperiod pined. So I think it's

1914
01:37:44,947 --> 01:37:48,547
Speaker 15: largely a bit of a It's a bit inaccurate, but

1915
01:37:48,987 --> 01:37:51,507
Speaker 15: unreasonable to say, well, no, they're not scoring the goals.

1916
01:37:51,507 --> 01:37:53,307
Speaker 15: There's not that fluid football that we saw from them

1917
01:37:53,307 --> 01:37:55,387
Speaker 15: in the back end of last season. Take you back

1918
01:37:55,387 --> 01:37:59,027
Speaker 15: to the start of last year and this Auckland side.

1919
01:37:59,027 --> 01:38:02,787
Speaker 15: We're grinding out results, often late into games. I do

1920
01:38:02,987 --> 01:38:07,107
Speaker 15: think that there is an element of color bration that

1921
01:38:07,347 --> 01:38:09,467
Speaker 15: isn't there in this Sorkland team at the moment. They

1922
01:38:09,507 --> 01:38:12,347
Speaker 15: are a different team, let's remember, and they are working

1923
01:38:12,387 --> 01:38:15,707
Speaker 15: each other out. They're not playing with those two traditional

1924
01:38:15,787 --> 01:38:19,227
Speaker 15: wingers and bombing on. There's not necessarily that same little

1925
01:38:19,387 --> 01:38:21,627
Speaker 15: energy through the middle of the park. But that's not

1926
01:38:21,787 --> 01:38:26,067
Speaker 15: a bad thing. They're now players a lopsided attack, very

1927
01:38:26,147 --> 01:38:28,067
Speaker 15: much on the left hand side. Lachland broke the right

1928
01:38:28,107 --> 01:38:31,027
Speaker 15: wingers coming inside, and so I think it's still working

1929
01:38:31,067 --> 01:38:34,427
Speaker 15: out how this all comes together. What I do think

1930
01:38:34,547 --> 01:38:38,307
Speaker 15: we want to see though, is a more resolute, certain

1931
01:38:38,427 --> 01:38:41,547
Speaker 15: defensive effort, and I don't think we've seen that at

1932
01:38:41,627 --> 01:38:45,547
Speaker 15: times this season. There's been a suggestion of fragility that

1933
01:38:45,667 --> 01:38:48,267
Speaker 15: we didn't see there last season, and I think that's

1934
01:38:48,347 --> 01:38:51,667
Speaker 15: the thing that's perhaps the most frustrating step in particularly

1935
01:38:51,707 --> 01:38:54,267
Speaker 15: he did mention it last week that he felt that

1936
01:38:54,467 --> 01:38:56,747
Speaker 15: they weren't always lock and key tight.

1937
01:38:57,907 --> 01:39:00,467
Speaker 3: Looking forward to the soufternoons contest Aukland FC against the

1938
01:39:00,547 --> 01:39:03,267
Speaker 3: new Castle Jets three o'clock auld go media, and then

1939
01:39:04,747 --> 01:39:07,227
Speaker 3: a six day white for Darbin number two this season

1940
01:39:07,307 --> 01:39:09,347
Speaker 3: Derby number five and as you say, Jake could be

1941
01:39:09,427 --> 01:39:11,987
Speaker 3: the best Derby yet always appreciate your analysis.

1942
01:39:11,987 --> 01:39:15,547
Speaker 5: Thanks for joining us, not a problem, mate, and can't

1943
01:39:15,587 --> 01:39:16,467
Speaker 5: wait for this one.

1944
01:39:16,787 --> 01:39:18,027
Speaker 15: The whistle to be by on this one and then

1945
01:39:18,027 --> 01:39:19,867
Speaker 15: we get to focus on the derby next week. Piney,

1946
01:39:19,987 --> 01:39:22,027
Speaker 15: I truly believe this is going to be the best

1947
01:39:22,067 --> 01:39:24,547
Speaker 15: monu minutes of football that we've seen out of the derbies.

1948
01:39:24,627 --> 01:39:27,387
Speaker 3: Well let's hope so, mate, I'll hold you to that

1949
01:39:27,507 --> 01:39:29,987
Speaker 3: and I certainly hope you're right. And when my experience

1950
01:39:30,027 --> 01:39:33,187
Speaker 3: you normally are Jacob Spoonley joining us with a look

1951
01:39:33,227 --> 01:39:37,307
Speaker 3: at football. So Auckland FC against Newcastle this afternoon from

1952
01:39:37,347 --> 01:39:40,867
Speaker 3: three o'clock and then Derby number two for the year

1953
01:39:41,387 --> 01:39:44,467
Speaker 3: is next Saturday, five o'clock at go Media State and

1954
01:39:44,467 --> 01:39:47,187
Speaker 3: Auckland f C at home to Wellington Phoenix, who will

1955
01:39:47,227 --> 01:39:49,387
Speaker 3: go in with a fair degree of confidence after their

1956
01:39:49,427 --> 01:39:53,507
Speaker 3: win over Adelaide United. Yesterday two twenty three, we were

1957
01:39:53,547 --> 01:39:57,307
Speaker 3: talking about the Commonwealth Games yesterday and the potential of

1958
01:39:57,507 --> 01:39:59,867
Speaker 3: bringing them back to New Zealand. Nicky Nickel, from the

1959
01:39:59,907 --> 01:40:02,907
Speaker 3: New Zealand Olympic Committee CEO there joined us and talked

1960
01:40:02,907 --> 01:40:05,827
Speaker 3: about their desire to at least, at the very least

1961
01:40:05,987 --> 01:40:09,947
Speaker 3: explore the possibility of having the Commonwealth Games here in

1962
01:40:10,027 --> 01:40:12,467
Speaker 3: New Zealand in twenty thirty four. We had a great

1963
01:40:12,467 --> 01:40:16,387
Speaker 3: discussion about it. Yesterday got an email overnight from Richard Willis,

1964
01:40:16,427 --> 01:40:19,587
Speaker 3: who was the father of Nick Willis, who obviously you'll

1965
01:40:19,667 --> 01:40:22,947
Speaker 3: know from his feats in both Commonwealth and Olympic Games.

1966
01:40:23,147 --> 01:40:25,427
Speaker 3: I wanted to read parts of Richard's email to you,

1967
01:40:25,787 --> 01:40:28,827
Speaker 3: Jason regular List especially interested in the comm Games. I've

1968
01:40:28,867 --> 01:40:33,107
Speaker 3: been to five Melbourne, Dally, Glasgow and Gold Coast in

1969
01:40:33,267 --> 01:40:37,267
Speaker 3: addition to six Olympics and many World Championships. There are

1970
01:40:37,307 --> 01:40:40,587
Speaker 3: several compelling arguments, writes Richard, for the Commonwealth Games, the

1971
01:40:40,667 --> 01:40:44,027
Speaker 3: main one being they allow aspiring athletes to compete in

1972
01:40:44,227 --> 01:40:47,307
Speaker 3: a more limited international competition. My son Nick has won

1973
01:40:47,387 --> 01:40:50,547
Speaker 3: gold and two bronzes in the Commonwealth Games and two

1974
01:40:50,787 --> 01:40:54,427
Speaker 3: Olympic medals. There is no doubt his win at the

1975
01:40:54,467 --> 01:40:57,667
Speaker 3: Common Games in Melbourne two thousand and six set him

1976
01:40:57,707 --> 01:41:00,187
Speaker 3: up for silver at the Olympics in Beijing.

1977
01:41:00,667 --> 01:41:02,947
Speaker 4: The big issue, though, is where in New Zealand Wellington

1978
01:41:03,027 --> 01:41:07,387
Speaker 4: no good Unfortunately only one proper track, which, despite our pleas,

1979
01:41:07,467 --> 01:41:09,587
Speaker 4: they refuse to build the new stadium large enough for

1980
01:41:09,667 --> 01:41:13,467
Speaker 4: a track. Richard is also currently President of Athletics Wellington.

1981
01:41:13,507 --> 01:41:15,787
Speaker 4: He notes here and then goes on to say the

1982
01:41:15,867 --> 01:41:20,507
Speaker 4: venue must have an international airport, sufficient hotel type accommodation,

1983
01:41:21,107 --> 01:41:24,747
Speaker 4: a stadium with a track or capable of laying one down,

1984
01:41:24,827 --> 01:41:28,067
Speaker 4: which is what happened at the mcg and six, a

1985
01:41:28,187 --> 01:41:31,267
Speaker 4: stadium capable of holding at least thirty five thousand and

1986
01:41:31,427 --> 01:41:34,107
Speaker 4: reasonable access to a valodrome, and maybe a rowing venue,

1987
01:41:34,147 --> 01:41:37,027
Speaker 4: et cetera. And Richard goes on to say christ Church

1988
01:41:37,107 --> 01:41:39,027
Speaker 4: is out of the question. Really, the new athletics stadium

1989
01:41:39,067 --> 01:41:41,347
Speaker 4: would need to have seating built all the way around it,

1990
01:41:41,747 --> 01:41:44,067
Speaker 4: and the new indoor complex is too small. They might

1991
01:41:44,187 --> 01:41:47,907
Speaker 4: consider though, applying for a World Indoor Championship, which only

1992
01:41:47,947 --> 01:41:50,427
Speaker 4: needs a two hundred track, so that leaves Auckland as

1993
01:41:50,507 --> 01:41:54,547
Speaker 4: the only real possibility, especially if some bright engineer could

1994
01:41:54,587 --> 01:41:57,147
Speaker 4: push some of the seating back so that a four

1995
01:41:57,227 --> 01:42:00,107
Speaker 4: hundred meter track could be refitted. As for the nineteen

1996
01:42:00,227 --> 01:42:02,827
Speaker 4: ninety Games at Mount Smart, it already has a warm

1997
01:42:02,907 --> 01:42:04,907
Speaker 4: up track next door with tunnel connection. It has a

1998
01:42:04,987 --> 01:42:08,707
Speaker 4: train line could easily be run to a new temporary stadium.

1999
01:42:09,027 --> 01:42:12,227
Speaker 4: Great thoughts, Richard, thank you for getting in touch with those.

2000
01:42:12,507 --> 01:42:14,387
Speaker 4: I guess we wait to see what the next steps are.

2001
01:42:14,707 --> 01:42:16,027
Speaker 4: By the sounds of it, they're not going to have

2002
01:42:16,067 --> 01:42:20,627
Speaker 4: any idea about the process forbidding for twenty thirty four

2003
01:42:21,067 --> 01:42:24,867
Speaker 4: until after Glasgow's Games next year. The twenty twenty six

2004
01:42:24,947 --> 01:42:28,627
Speaker 4: Commonwealth Games two twenty six quick check on the golf

2005
01:42:28,867 --> 01:42:32,227
Speaker 4: for you, if I can get the correct screen up here,

2006
01:42:32,267 --> 01:42:35,547
Speaker 4: it is so. Kazumi Kabori has part of the first

2007
01:42:35,587 --> 01:42:38,187
Speaker 4: two holes. He stayed at twelve under. The leaders are

2008
01:42:38,187 --> 01:42:42,027
Speaker 4: at thirteen under. There are four of them at thirteen under,

2009
01:42:42,187 --> 01:42:44,307
Speaker 4: including the three of a night leaders who are yet

2010
01:42:44,387 --> 01:42:48,307
Speaker 4: to register a score for their first hole. Nick Vokee

2011
01:42:48,307 --> 01:42:50,947
Speaker 4: one under three to three holes is eleven under for

2012
01:42:50,987 --> 01:42:53,507
Speaker 4: the tournament and Dan Hilly are won over through two

2013
01:42:53,587 --> 01:42:56,347
Speaker 4: today has dropped down to ten under, but still well

2014
01:42:56,427 --> 01:43:00,267
Speaker 4: and truly within striking distance, so thirteen under the leaders,

2015
01:43:00,787 --> 01:43:03,307
Speaker 4: Kabori at twelve under, Voke at eleven under, Hilly Are

2016
01:43:03,387 --> 01:43:06,107
Speaker 4: at ten under the card We'll come back in a

2017
01:43:06,107 --> 01:43:08,867
Speaker 4: seat and talks and basketball on Weekend Sport.

2018
01:43:09,467 --> 01:43:12,987
Speaker 1: The biggest seams in sports are on Weekend Sports with

2019
01:43:13,187 --> 01:43:17,267
Speaker 1: Jason Pain and GJ. Gunnomes New Zealand's most trusted home

01:43:17,347 --> 01:43:18,707
Speaker 1: builder news Dogs they'd.

2021
01:43:18,547 --> 01:43:20,027
Speaker 4: Be two twenty nine.

2022
01:43:20,067 --> 01:43:22,147
Speaker 3: The Tall Blacks have suffered a narrow eighty four to

2023
01:43:22,307 --> 01:43:25,707
Speaker 3: seventy nine defeat to Australia in their World Cup qualifying

2024
01:43:25,787 --> 01:43:28,867
Speaker 3: opener in Hobart on Friday night, and that is.

2025
01:43:28,947 --> 01:43:33,107
Speaker 27: All and after its Titanic battle, a sea storing affair

2026
01:43:33,147 --> 01:43:34,947
Speaker 27: where both teams were in front in each of the

2027
01:43:35,027 --> 01:43:37,707
Speaker 27: fourth quarter as Australia gets home for the tune of

2028
01:43:37,827 --> 01:43:41,227
Speaker 27: five points. Full time in Hobart, it's Australia eighty four,

2029
01:43:41,627 --> 01:43:42,947
Speaker 27: New Zealand seventy nine.

2030
01:43:43,027 --> 01:43:45,507
Speaker 3: Now New Zealand led by seven at halftime and was

2031
01:43:45,547 --> 01:43:48,067
Speaker 3: still up by one at three quarter time, but they

2032
01:43:48,107 --> 01:43:51,307
Speaker 3: were outscored eighteen twelve in the fourth quarter as the

2033
01:43:51,347 --> 01:43:54,187
Speaker 3: Boomers held their nerve to draw first blood in this

2034
01:43:54,387 --> 01:43:56,907
Speaker 3: trans Tasman series. Sam and Inga led the Tall Black

2035
01:43:56,947 --> 01:44:00,507
Speaker 3: statue nineteen points ten rebounds. Flynn Cameron had fifteen points

2036
01:44:00,907 --> 01:44:03,667
Speaker 3: and seven assists. The two sides will meet again in

2037
01:44:03,787 --> 01:44:07,867
Speaker 3: Wellington tomorrow night to complete the feb International window. Now,

2038
01:44:07,907 --> 01:44:09,827
Speaker 3: we were hoping to get a chat with a member

2039
01:44:09,867 --> 01:44:12,547
Speaker 3: of the Tall Blacks. Unfortunately their travel has been disrupted

2040
01:44:12,587 --> 01:44:14,547
Speaker 3: today so they're not available to chat to us. Let's

2041
01:44:14,547 --> 01:44:18,187
Speaker 3: hear though from coach jud Flavel with his initial thoughts

2042
01:44:18,267 --> 01:44:19,067
Speaker 3: on game one.

2043
01:44:19,707 --> 01:44:20,747
Speaker 5: Good competitive game.

2044
01:44:22,307 --> 01:44:24,547
Speaker 16: I think we all anticipated that it was going to

2045
01:44:24,547 --> 01:44:28,067
Speaker 16: be a physical game, you know, one that you know,

2046
01:44:28,107 --> 01:44:32,027
Speaker 16: I'm proud of our team for I guess particular areas

2047
01:44:32,067 --> 01:44:34,187
Speaker 16: in the game that we wanted to really impose ourselves.

2048
01:44:34,947 --> 01:44:36,987
Speaker 16: You know, we won the rebound account, which is which

2049
01:44:37,067 --> 01:44:39,267
Speaker 16: is a huge part of I guess, the way that

2050
01:44:39,307 --> 01:44:46,147
Speaker 16: we want to play. We you know, Ossie, the Boomers

2051
01:44:46,227 --> 01:44:50,027
Speaker 16: were very physical, pushing us out of our stuff, you know,

2052
01:44:50,187 --> 01:44:52,707
Speaker 16: our cutting and things like that in the second half,

2053
01:44:53,787 --> 01:44:56,067
Speaker 16: but you know, we dealt with that. They we had

2054
01:44:56,067 --> 01:44:57,787
Speaker 16: a little lead they came back, they took the lead,

2055
01:44:57,827 --> 01:44:59,947
Speaker 16: we came back and secured it again. So you know,

2056
01:45:00,107 --> 01:45:03,507
Speaker 16: back and forth, and Dale Heckey makes a big shot.

2057
01:45:04,587 --> 01:45:07,107
Speaker 16: I can't remember the time, but just the push that

2058
01:45:07,227 --> 01:45:09,467
Speaker 16: lead up and probably just give them a little bit

2059
01:45:09,507 --> 01:45:09,987
Speaker 16: of a relief.

2060
01:45:10,067 --> 01:45:12,267
Speaker 5: But I guess I look at the stat.

2061
01:45:12,067 --> 01:45:14,467
Speaker 16: Sheet and they go, we shot twenty five percent from

2062
01:45:14,507 --> 01:45:18,187
Speaker 16: the from the three point line. A lot of those

2063
01:45:18,187 --> 01:45:20,907
Speaker 16: shots we really like and we'll take them again. And

2064
01:45:22,027 --> 01:45:24,027
Speaker 16: then the turnovers. You know, that's probably the key stat

2065
01:45:24,107 --> 01:45:26,587
Speaker 16: right there is just you know, fifteen is not necessarily

2066
01:45:26,587 --> 01:45:29,107
Speaker 16: a lot, but they scored well, they' score twelve points

2067
01:45:29,147 --> 01:45:33,747
Speaker 16: off it, so you know, international basketball, it's too many,

2068
01:45:34,027 --> 01:45:37,147
Speaker 16: too many points, too many free beests. So yeah, it's

2069
01:45:37,987 --> 01:45:40,627
Speaker 16: those are some key areas for us to take take

2070
01:45:40,667 --> 01:45:43,067
Speaker 16: a look at and to adjust for a game two.

2071
01:45:43,347 --> 01:45:46,027
Speaker 3: So speaking of game two, then what will the areas

2072
01:45:46,027 --> 01:45:47,787
Speaker 3: of focus be for the tall Backs. Will they be

2073
01:45:48,147 --> 01:45:50,867
Speaker 3: building on their strong second and third quarters or looking

2074
01:45:50,907 --> 01:45:53,787
Speaker 3: at what happened in the first and fourth quarters?

2075
01:45:54,347 --> 01:45:54,507
Speaker 11: Oh?

2076
01:45:54,587 --> 01:45:54,827
Speaker 5: Both.

2077
01:45:55,067 --> 01:45:56,907
Speaker 16: You know, I think we we always got to tap

2078
01:45:56,947 --> 01:46:00,587
Speaker 16: into our strengths, and I think, you know, some of

2079
01:46:00,587 --> 01:46:03,747
Speaker 16: those areas of I thought we put some really good

2080
01:46:03,787 --> 01:46:08,107
Speaker 16: defensive patches together and then just you know, there was

2081
01:46:08,667 --> 01:46:10,667
Speaker 16: there was moments there. I think we just controlled the

2082
01:46:10,707 --> 01:46:12,867
Speaker 16: glass and so we got to control the temper of

2083
01:46:12,947 --> 01:46:16,027
Speaker 16: the game. And I think once we secured the ball,

2084
01:46:16,147 --> 01:46:17,947
Speaker 16: sometimes we got a little bit too excited, you know,

2085
01:46:18,107 --> 01:46:19,467
Speaker 16: and and so.

2086
01:46:19,547 --> 01:46:21,067
Speaker 5: We just got to be a little bit more composed,

2087
01:46:21,107 --> 01:46:23,147
Speaker 5: I think. So that happened.

2088
01:46:23,707 --> 01:46:25,667
Speaker 16: Yeah, in the first half, obviously we were controlled the

2089
01:46:25,747 --> 01:46:28,867
Speaker 16: rebounds and and but those are probably the key areas,

2090
01:46:29,547 --> 01:46:32,067
Speaker 16: not necessarily when it happened, but just the common themes

2091
01:46:32,107 --> 01:46:34,547
Speaker 16: that we saw, and maybe we got away with it

2092
01:46:34,547 --> 01:46:36,427
Speaker 16: a little bit in the first half and second half

2093
01:46:36,467 --> 01:46:39,587
Speaker 16: we didn't, you know, probably the other side on as

2094
01:46:39,587 --> 01:46:42,507
Speaker 16: I'm looking at the statute, just Glover, I think, you know,

2095
01:46:42,627 --> 01:46:44,667
Speaker 16: he got into a bit of a rhythm there, as

2096
01:46:44,707 --> 01:46:49,467
Speaker 16: we know he does, and you know, I guess just

2097
01:46:49,627 --> 01:46:51,667
Speaker 16: being a little bit more urgent with certain people.

2098
01:46:53,187 --> 01:46:56,747
Speaker 5: But overall, as Isaiah says, like a lot to like.

2099
01:46:56,827 --> 01:46:59,307
Speaker 16: And we'll be looking at those areas again, and you know,

2100
01:46:59,387 --> 01:47:01,507
Speaker 16: both teams get to go against each other again.

2101
01:47:01,547 --> 01:47:02,347
Speaker 5: I'm sure there's gonna be.

2102
01:47:02,347 --> 01:47:05,027
Speaker 16: A little bit of little adjustments here and there, but

2103
01:47:05,107 --> 01:47:08,467
Speaker 16: for the majority of it you, we want to continue

2104
01:47:08,467 --> 01:47:10,147
Speaker 16: to play to our identity.

2105
01:47:10,347 --> 01:47:13,027
Speaker 3: So next from Judd Flavl, do they take confidence from

2106
01:47:13,227 --> 01:47:16,547
Speaker 3: silencing the home Australian crowd and will that carry over

2107
01:47:17,187 --> 01:47:19,667
Speaker 3: to having confidence in front of their own home crowd

2108
01:47:19,747 --> 01:47:21,027
Speaker 3: on Monday night at Wellington?

2109
01:47:21,267 --> 01:47:23,547
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think, you know, crowd being silenced or not

2110
01:47:23,787 --> 01:47:27,547
Speaker 16: just happy with the way that the guys are playing. Yeah,

2111
01:47:27,667 --> 01:47:31,627
Speaker 16: defensively rebounding once again, the you know, both teams have

2112
01:47:31,707 --> 01:47:33,747
Speaker 16: been together for a few days, so you know you're

2113
01:47:33,787 --> 01:47:35,827
Speaker 16: not going to get everything right out there, but you're

2114
01:47:35,827 --> 01:47:39,027
Speaker 16: going to be dependent upon guys communicating with each other.

2115
01:47:39,827 --> 01:47:40,507
Speaker 5: At the end of the day.

2116
01:47:40,547 --> 01:47:43,827
Speaker 16: There's basketball one on one stuff that we're relying upon

2117
01:47:43,867 --> 01:47:44,467
Speaker 16: the guys to do.

2118
01:47:44,667 --> 01:47:49,147
Speaker 5: But yeah, for the majority of the majority of it, very.

2119
01:47:49,107 --> 01:47:51,067
Speaker 16: Happy and I think we just can do a lot

2120
01:47:51,147 --> 01:47:55,787
Speaker 16: better to close out possessions or just entering our position

2121
01:47:56,027 --> 01:47:57,907
Speaker 16: and being on the same page a little bit more

2122
01:47:57,947 --> 01:47:59,587
Speaker 16: and just tiding up a few things there.

2123
01:47:59,827 --> 01:48:02,347
Speaker 3: And finally from jud Flavel, will there be a focus

2124
01:48:02,707 --> 01:48:05,707
Speaker 3: on rebounding as they had a big advantage in that

2125
01:48:05,907 --> 01:48:08,187
Speaker 3: area early on in the game, but Australia then came

2126
01:48:08,267 --> 01:48:10,427
Speaker 3: back and kind of leveled that out near the end.

2127
01:48:11,627 --> 01:48:12,187
Speaker 5: Good question.

2128
01:48:12,507 --> 01:48:14,507
Speaker 16: That's that's really the part of the game that will

2129
01:48:14,547 --> 01:48:19,267
Speaker 16: be looking into quite in depth there because I think

2130
01:48:19,307 --> 01:48:21,587
Speaker 16: we just got a little bit probably messy there with

2131
01:48:21,707 --> 01:48:23,627
Speaker 16: our offense, and a lot of that was you know,

2132
01:48:23,667 --> 01:48:26,467
Speaker 16: the Boomers ramping up their defense and pushing us off.

2133
01:48:26,547 --> 01:48:32,067
Speaker 5: But I think, you know, like we still I think

2134
01:48:32,107 --> 01:48:32,947
Speaker 5: it rebounded well.

2135
01:48:32,987 --> 01:48:35,867
Speaker 16: We had some offensive rebounds down there, we didn't really capitalize.

2136
01:48:35,867 --> 01:48:37,787
Speaker 16: I mean, they made some players that you know, tip

2137
01:48:37,947 --> 01:48:41,067
Speaker 16: the ball off, they made some blocks. You know, there's

2138
01:48:41,147 --> 01:48:44,747
Speaker 16: some some ones there under the basket that you know,

2139
01:48:44,787 --> 01:48:47,627
Speaker 16: we would have liked to have had again. But I mean,

2140
01:48:48,587 --> 01:48:51,627
Speaker 16: I think I think that's really two teams just going

2141
01:48:51,667 --> 01:48:55,187
Speaker 16: out it, you know, and being physical. And I thought

2142
01:48:55,187 --> 01:48:56,747
Speaker 16: we did a great great job again to the foul

2143
01:48:56,827 --> 01:49:01,587
Speaker 16: line that first half, attacking the scenes, and I think

2144
01:49:01,667 --> 01:49:03,587
Speaker 16: we just got a couple of shots honestly, just to

2145
01:49:03,707 --> 01:49:05,587
Speaker 16: open that back up again. So if we do that,

2146
01:49:05,747 --> 01:49:07,627
Speaker 16: you know, the bus was a beautiful game when you're

2147
01:49:07,627 --> 01:49:10,267
Speaker 16: making a couple more threes and that was probably the difference.

2148
01:49:10,307 --> 01:49:15,747
Speaker 16: Now they said out there made twelve threes, and so yeah,

2149
01:49:15,787 --> 01:49:17,787
Speaker 16: we would have liked to have done that, but it

2150
01:49:17,947 --> 01:49:22,227
Speaker 16: just means you've got to be very precise and execute

2151
01:49:22,267 --> 01:49:24,627
Speaker 16: even more and I don't think we did that tonight,

2152
01:49:24,827 --> 01:49:24,987
Speaker 16: you know.

2153
01:49:25,947 --> 01:49:26,867
Speaker 5: So those are the areas.

2154
01:49:27,027 --> 01:49:30,187
Speaker 3: Those are the as always eloquent thoughts of Tollblack's head

2155
01:49:30,267 --> 01:49:33,987
Speaker 3: coach Judd Flavel after the opening match against Australia Friday

2156
01:49:34,067 --> 01:49:36,907
Speaker 3: night in Hobart, a narrow five point last game two

2157
01:49:36,987 --> 01:49:40,627
Speaker 3: tomorrow night at Wellington's tesB Arena with a seven o'clock

2158
01:49:40,667 --> 01:49:43,387
Speaker 3: tip off, as the toll Blacks I'm sure will take confidence,

2159
01:49:43,427 --> 01:49:46,187
Speaker 3: as you heard there from jud Flavel into the second meeting,

2160
01:49:46,267 --> 01:49:48,787
Speaker 3: knowing that they are not a million miles away from

2161
01:49:48,907 --> 01:49:51,067
Speaker 3: the Boomers, who I'm sure would have been heavily favored

2162
01:49:51,387 --> 01:49:53,227
Speaker 3: going into this two match series.

2163
01:49:53,267 --> 01:49:54,107
Speaker 4: Twenty four to three.

2164
01:49:54,227 --> 01:49:57,907
Speaker 3: Liam Lawson, meantime, enjoyed an improved day at Formula one's

2165
01:49:57,947 --> 01:50:01,267
Speaker 3: Cutter Grand Prix, capped off by posting the twelfth fastest

2166
01:50:01,307 --> 01:50:04,827
Speaker 3: time and qualifying. After struggling on Friday with the seventeenth

2167
01:50:04,947 --> 01:50:09,227
Speaker 3: fastest time qualifying for the sprint race, Lawson was a

2168
01:50:09,307 --> 01:50:13,507
Speaker 3: credible fourteenth over the nineteen lap qualifying before achieving his

2169
01:50:13,627 --> 01:50:16,667
Speaker 3: best start in Kata. Despite missing a place in the

2170
01:50:16,747 --> 01:50:20,547
Speaker 3: top ten starting twelfth sees him better than his eighteenth

2171
01:50:21,027 --> 01:50:24,347
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three and the seventeenth he achieved at

2172
01:50:24,347 --> 01:50:27,867
Speaker 3: the same track last year, and he outqualified Red Ball

2173
01:50:27,987 --> 01:50:31,707
Speaker 3: rival Yuki Sonoda, who was eliminated in the first session

2174
01:50:31,747 --> 01:50:34,267
Speaker 3: of qualifying for the third Grand Prix in a row.

2175
01:50:34,347 --> 01:50:37,147
Speaker 3: This is at a time where both drivers await their

2176
01:50:37,187 --> 01:50:39,947
Speaker 3: futures being officially locked in for next season, as we

2177
01:50:40,107 --> 01:50:44,267
Speaker 3: understand it, and let's hope that sanity prevails here. After

2178
01:50:44,347 --> 01:50:47,307
Speaker 3: the Kata Grand Prix, the Formula One race the main

2179
01:50:47,427 --> 01:50:51,787
Speaker 3: race tomorrow, Red Ball Slash Racing Balls will at least

2180
01:50:51,827 --> 01:50:54,667
Speaker 3: make an announcement about Liam Lawson's future for next year.

2181
01:50:54,787 --> 01:50:57,627
Speaker 3: All signs are that he will have his Racing Ball

2182
01:50:57,747 --> 01:51:00,987
Speaker 3: seat again in twenty twenty six, but it would be

2183
01:51:01,067 --> 01:51:04,627
Speaker 3: nice to have it confirmed. Here is Liam Lawson's post

2184
01:51:04,827 --> 01:51:08,027
Speaker 3: qualifying me the interview just a short one from Liam.

2185
01:51:08,067 --> 01:51:09,627
Speaker 3: Firstly on how the car felt.

2186
01:51:10,067 --> 01:51:14,027
Speaker 21: Very sensitive for us this weekend, trying to make it

2187
01:51:14,067 --> 01:51:15,627
Speaker 21: a little bit easier from yesterday and I think the

2188
01:51:15,707 --> 01:51:17,787
Speaker 21: car was in a much bit of window today. We

2189
01:51:17,947 --> 01:51:19,827
Speaker 21: ended Q one in a very comfortable place and then

2190
01:51:20,987 --> 01:51:23,787
Speaker 21: unfortunately just very small changes seem to make it very

2191
01:51:24,027 --> 01:51:26,907
Speaker 21: tricky to drive, and we barely improved in Q two

2192
01:51:27,027 --> 01:51:32,667
Speaker 21: so it's frustrating, but obviously a small step from yesterday.

2193
01:51:33,467 --> 01:51:34,747
Speaker 5: Long hot race ahead tomorrow.

2194
01:51:34,867 --> 01:51:37,507
Speaker 4: What's your feeling in terms of the race pace? Can

2195
01:51:37,587 --> 01:51:39,427
Speaker 4: you push on and maybe grabble point or two of

2196
01:51:39,507 --> 01:51:39,907
Speaker 4: or go as well?

2197
01:51:40,387 --> 01:51:42,067
Speaker 21: We'll definitely try. It's going to be tough for sure,

2198
01:51:42,147 --> 01:51:47,427
Speaker 21: but yeah, obviously we'll we will try try and move forward.

2199
01:51:47,427 --> 01:51:48,907
Speaker 21: I think our race base today was very good. We

2200
01:51:49,027 --> 01:51:52,747
Speaker 21: just needed to qualify better and unfortunately this hasn't helped.

2201
01:51:53,307 --> 01:51:54,427
Speaker 21: This hasn't helped that time.

2202
01:51:54,347 --> 01:51:58,587
Speaker 3: That is Liam Lawson after qualifying, so he will start

2203
01:51:58,787 --> 01:52:01,827
Speaker 3: from what did I say, twelfth? Yes, the twelfth fastest

2204
01:52:01,867 --> 01:52:04,667
Speaker 3: time in qualifying, So yeah, a couple of positions to

2205
01:52:04,707 --> 01:52:07,347
Speaker 3: make up and maybe he's back amongst points again when

2206
01:52:07,947 --> 01:52:11,627
Speaker 3: that race gets underway tomorrow morning. New Zealand time twenty

2207

2216
01:52:38,267 --> 01:52:40,827
Speaker 3: Kirston on textar Piney the commentator's advice this morning that

2217
01:52:40,907 --> 01:52:44,147
Speaker 3: Hadja confirmed he has the Red Bull seat and Sonoda

2218
01:52:44,227 --> 01:52:46,827
Speaker 3: has confirmed he hasn't made the team. Kirsten, thank you.

2219
01:52:46,987 --> 01:52:49,507
Speaker 3: I hadn't picked up on that. That always appeared to

2220
01:52:49,547 --> 01:52:51,227
Speaker 3: be the way they were going, right. I see Ralph

2221
01:52:51,227 --> 01:52:55,027
Speaker 3: Schumacher and talking to Sky in Germany has said the

2222
01:52:55,067 --> 01:52:57,027
Speaker 3: same thing is he said, Look, it's a pretty obvious

2223
01:52:58,947 --> 01:53:01,947
Speaker 3: scenario here and it's a pretty poorly kept secret that

2224
01:53:02,027 --> 01:53:04,667
Speaker 3: Sonoda will be going. Hadjar will go into the Red

2225

2227
01:53:13,347 --> 01:53:16,307
Speaker 3: confirmed over the next little while. Let's talk some US sport.

2228

01:53:21,507 --> 01:53:22,227
Speaker 4: How are you mate?

2231
01:53:23,467 --> 01:53:26,147
Speaker 22: Afternoon? Jason stays for having me back on hitch to cover,

2232
01:53:26,267 --> 01:53:27,027
Speaker 22: So let's get into.

2233
01:53:26,907 --> 01:53:27,987
Speaker 4: It, mate, Let's go.

2234
01:53:28,347 --> 01:53:33,107
Speaker 3: NBA Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison fired recently after

2235
01:53:33,227 --> 01:53:36,707
Speaker 3: probably the worst trade in NBA history, getting rid of

2236
01:53:36,827 --> 01:53:37,427
Speaker 3: Luka Doncic.

2237
01:53:38,547 --> 01:53:41,187
Speaker 22: Yes, so amidst all of the betting scandals that recently

2238
01:53:41,267 --> 01:53:44,467
Speaker 22: camped to light. About three weeks ago, then Dallas Mavericks

2239
01:53:44,587 --> 01:53:48,347
Speaker 22: general manager and President of Basketball Operations Niko Harrison was

2240
01:53:48,427 --> 01:53:51,427
Speaker 22: fired due to the fallout from the stunny Luca Dontrich

2241
01:53:51,547 --> 01:53:54,387
Speaker 22: trade to the La Lakers in February. The twenty six

2242
01:53:54,467 --> 01:53:57,387
Speaker 22: oth Slavinian and a generational chalent now in his prime,

2243
01:53:57,867 --> 01:54:00,387
Speaker 22: was reluctantly shifted and I would be the worst trade,

2244
01:54:00,427 --> 01:54:02,707
Speaker 22: as you alluded to in the NBA let alone in

2245
01:54:02,787 --> 01:54:06,067
Speaker 22: all of professional sports. Dallas was due to paid Dontrich

2246
01:54:06,667 --> 01:54:10,027
Speaker 22: max contract extension, but Harrison thought they had more options

2247
01:54:10,027 --> 01:54:13,187
Speaker 22: available in a three team deal. Remember that Donts had

2248
01:54:13,307 --> 01:54:16,187
Speaker 22: just led the Mavericks to the Finals, even though they

2249
01:54:16,227 --> 01:54:17,307
Speaker 22: originally lost to Okay.

2250
01:54:17,387 --> 01:54:17,947
Speaker 10: See now.

2251
01:54:18,147 --> 01:54:20,787
Speaker 22: Just prior to Dallas competing in the twenty twenty four

2252
01:54:20,867 --> 01:54:24,947
Speaker 22: NBA Finals, Harrison signed a contract extension with the Mavericks

2253
01:54:25,267 --> 01:54:28,747
Speaker 22: for an undisclosed sum. He was earning five million annually

2254
01:54:28,787 --> 01:54:30,787
Speaker 22: as part of the front office. So how has that

2255
01:54:30,947 --> 01:54:33,427
Speaker 22: all worked out? The Lakers are thicken in the Western

2256
01:54:33,467 --> 01:54:36,947
Speaker 22: Conference while the Mavericks are panking and set fourteen out

2257
01:54:36,947 --> 01:54:40,307
Speaker 22: of fifteen. An absolute disaster for Dallas and no surprise

2258
01:54:40,427 --> 01:54:42,827
Speaker 22: in hindsight that Harrison was eventually shown.

2259
01:54:42,627 --> 01:54:43,227
Speaker 4: The door poning.

2260
01:54:43,627 --> 01:54:45,747
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think most of us, you included, could have

2261
01:54:45,867 --> 01:54:47,907
Speaker 3: predicted this a long way out lead.

2262
01:54:48,107 --> 01:54:51,507
Speaker 8: But more for that one you do not.

2263
01:54:51,747 --> 01:54:54,427
Speaker 4: You do not well? Interesting to see that it played

2264
01:54:54,427 --> 01:54:54,947
Speaker 4: out that way.

2265
01:54:55,107 --> 01:54:57,587
Speaker 3: Ah, the NBA itself, now you sent me notes, but

2266
01:54:57,707 --> 01:55:00,827
Speaker 3: had the NBA Cup. Now this sits inside the NBA

2267
01:55:01,267 --> 01:55:01,947
Speaker 3: regular season?

2268
01:55:02,067 --> 01:55:03,387
Speaker 4: Is that right? Can you explain this to us?

2269
01:55:04,307 --> 01:55:04,507
Speaker 9: Yes?

2270
01:55:04,587 --> 01:55:04,627
Speaker 5: So.

2271
01:55:04,707 --> 01:55:07,427
Speaker 22: The third edition of the NBA formerly known as the

2272
01:55:07,587 --> 01:55:10,547
Speaker 22: n Season Tournament, has introduced one of the most visually

2273
01:55:10,667 --> 01:55:15,987
Speaker 22: striking annovations in professional basketball, exertic hardwood courts designed specifically

2274
01:55:16,067 --> 01:55:18,747
Speaker 22: for Cup games. These courts don't just so different, they're

2275
01:55:18,787 --> 01:55:22,267
Speaker 22: built to signal that these matchups stand apart from regular

2276
01:55:22,307 --> 01:55:26,227
Speaker 22: season games, given the tournament it's own identity, energy and

2277
01:55:26,387 --> 01:55:28,547
Speaker 22: broadcast appel. Now, before I give my own thoughts on

2278
01:55:28,587 --> 01:55:30,867
Speaker 22: the NBA Cup, I wanted to share this, Covie Y Piney,

2279
01:55:31,707 --> 01:55:34,107
Speaker 22: you have a responsibility to this city to bring that

2280
01:55:34,267 --> 01:55:37,667
Speaker 22: championship banners where they belong. You have to understand that

2281
01:55:37,827 --> 01:55:42,747
Speaker 22: nothing else matters. This franchise does not hang division banners.

2282
01:55:42,787 --> 01:55:46,227
Speaker 22: It does not hang conference championships. We hang one banner

2283
01:55:46,307 --> 01:55:49,227
Speaker 22: and one banner only, and that's NBA titles. Do you

2284
01:55:49,387 --> 01:55:50,907
Speaker 22: have a guest Piney who said that quote?

2285
01:55:51,307 --> 01:55:54,307
Speaker 4: I know, I love the quote. Who said it?

2286
01:55:55,667 --> 01:55:58,307
Speaker 22: Yes? So that was famously said by NBA legend Kobe

2287
01:55:58,387 --> 01:56:01,307
Speaker 22: Bryant of the Lakers, who, in a storied career, delivered

2288
01:56:01,387 --> 01:56:04,347
Speaker 22: five titles to LA in seven finals appearances. Now, the

2289
01:56:04,427 --> 01:56:07,267
Speaker 22: reason I shared that quote is because the twenty twenty

2290
01:56:07,307 --> 01:56:11,307
Speaker 22: three Lakers won their inaugural in season tournaments and sacrilegiously

2291
01:56:11,427 --> 01:56:15,467
Speaker 22: hung a banner alongside the seventeen NBA titals. Now, I'd

2292
01:56:15,507 --> 01:56:17,707
Speaker 22: expected there was a lot of fan backlash, and in

2293
01:56:17,787 --> 01:56:20,187
Speaker 22: a way, I feel the same. The NBA Cup is

2294
01:56:20,187 --> 01:56:23,547
Speaker 22: an excuse for the Associate Association to try woodback viewers

2295
01:56:23,907 --> 01:56:27,347
Speaker 22: from an otherwise dwindling TV audience, a middle like eye

2296
01:56:27,387 --> 01:56:28,947
Speaker 22: candy for lack of a better term. But I'm not

2297
01:56:28,987 --> 01:56:30,867
Speaker 22: a huge fan of it. For the most part, I

2298
01:56:30,907 --> 01:56:34,187
Speaker 22: feel their die hard NBA fans like Andy really care

2299
01:56:34,227 --> 01:56:37,747
Speaker 22: about one thing. Who gets to hoist the lario'brian Trophy's

2300
01:56:37,827 --> 01:56:40,627
Speaker 22: NBA champions. There are said a pony, and hopefully I

2301
01:56:40,667 --> 01:56:42,667
Speaker 22: haven't upset too many of your younger listeners with that

2302
01:56:42,787 --> 01:56:43,227
Speaker 22: hot take.

2303
01:56:43,587 --> 01:56:45,507
Speaker 3: I don't think you would have, Leon, I think most

2304
01:56:45,587 --> 01:56:47,427
Speaker 3: listens would feel the same way. So let's go to

2305
01:56:47,507 --> 01:56:50,067
Speaker 3: the regular season. You mentioned the Lakers doing.

2306
01:56:49,947 --> 01:56:50,627
Speaker 4: Well in the West.

2307
01:56:50,667 --> 01:56:53,467
Speaker 3: Who else is standing out in the regular season in

2308
01:56:53,547 --> 01:56:55,467
Speaker 3: both the Western and Eastern conferences?

2309
01:56:56,387 --> 01:56:58,467
Speaker 22: Yeah, the regular season has already a called all the

2310
01:56:58,507 --> 01:57:00,867
Speaker 22: way through with some teams showing up. In the East,

2311
01:57:01,347 --> 01:57:04,227
Speaker 22: the Detroit Pistons, who were the punchline of the league

2312
01:57:04,267 --> 01:57:08,267
Speaker 22: only two years ago after two straight losses, are leading

2313
01:57:08,347 --> 01:57:11,027
Speaker 22: the conference with the fifteen and four record, followed by

2314
01:57:11,067 --> 01:57:14,227
Speaker 22: the Toronto Raptors, Miami Heat, New York Nts, and the

2315
01:57:14,267 --> 01:57:17,387
Speaker 22: Cleveland Cavaliers rounding out the top five. Now in the West,

2316
01:57:17,787 --> 01:57:21,187
Speaker 22: the defending champion ok Sees Thunder are looking ominous and

2317
01:57:21,267 --> 01:57:24,827
Speaker 22: they're leading all contenders with an impressive nineteen to one record,

2318
01:57:25,147 --> 01:57:28,427
Speaker 22: followed by the Denver Nuggets, LA Lakers, Houston Rockets, and

2319
01:57:28,587 --> 01:57:29,707
Speaker 22: San Antonio Spurs.

2320
01:57:30,307 --> 01:57:32,147
Speaker 3: I know we're early, Leon, but have you started to

2321
01:57:32,187 --> 01:57:34,867
Speaker 3: think about who the MVP candidates might.

2322
01:57:34,787 --> 01:57:35,947
Speaker 4: Be or is it too early for that.

2323
01:57:37,107 --> 01:57:39,267
Speaker 22: No, it's never tally mate. So in terms of players

2324
01:57:39,307 --> 01:57:42,147
Speaker 22: boiling out right now and in the MVP narrative are

2325
01:57:42,187 --> 01:57:47,387
Speaker 22: the usual suspects. Last season's MVP okcs kare Gildris Alexander

2326
01:57:47,747 --> 01:57:51,707
Speaker 22: and three times MVP winner Denvers Nicola Jokis. It's a

2327
01:57:51,787 --> 01:57:54,107
Speaker 22: toss up between them both, with Luca Johntrich or the

2328
01:57:54,187 --> 01:57:57,867
Speaker 22: Lakers not far behind. Then Milwaukee Bucks superstars Gianna senter

2329
01:57:57,907 --> 01:58:01,187
Speaker 22: to Compo and Tyrese Maxi from the Philadelphia seventy six

2330
01:58:01,307 --> 01:58:04,467
Speaker 22: is rounding out the top five. Most bidding agencies are

2331
01:58:04,547 --> 01:58:08,067
Speaker 22: leaning towards either Jokis, HGA or don'ts to be League

2332
01:58:08,147 --> 01:58:11,547
Speaker 22: MVP predicated upon this didn't stand healthy throughout the season.

2333
01:58:12,027 --> 01:58:13,467
Speaker 22: Here's the stat of the day I wanted to cheer

2334
01:58:13,547 --> 01:58:17,547
Speaker 22: regarding the Joker. The College Gookis finish were seventeen points,

2335
01:58:17,787 --> 01:58:21,787
Speaker 22: sixteen assists and ten rebounds to a tenth triple double

2336
01:58:21,827 --> 01:58:24,227
Speaker 22: of the season in a recent win, the fastest to

2337
01:58:24,307 --> 01:58:27,267
Speaker 22: reach ten triple doubles in a season in the last

2338
01:58:27,347 --> 01:58:30,147
Speaker 22: forty years. It's crazy to think, Piney that Gokis is

2339
01:58:30,147 --> 01:58:33,107
Speaker 22: almost expected now to average a triple double every time

2340
01:58:33,147 --> 01:58:33,987
Speaker 22: he starts.

2341
01:58:33,827 --> 01:58:35,987
Speaker 4: And he makes it look so easy, and day got

2342
01:58:36,027 --> 01:58:37,547
Speaker 4: it so hard to do it even once.

2343
01:58:38,107 --> 01:58:40,307
Speaker 3: As you say headline as many times, is that I

2344
01:58:40,347 --> 01:58:42,587
Speaker 3: want to move to football to the NFL shortly. But

2345
01:58:42,667 --> 01:58:46,107
Speaker 3: college football the regular season winding down. So who is

2346
01:58:46,147 --> 01:58:48,187
Speaker 3: looking good for the college football playoffs?

2347
01:58:49,107 --> 01:58:51,507
Speaker 22: Yes? So, as you alluded to, college footballs into its

2348
01:58:51,547 --> 01:58:53,587
Speaker 22: final week of the regular season, and a few days

2349
01:58:53,627 --> 01:58:56,547
Speaker 22: ago the latest rankings were released, with the top five

2350
01:58:56,587 --> 01:58:57,587
Speaker 22: pretty much unchanged for.

2351
01:58:57,627 --> 01:58:58,267
Speaker 5: The last month.

2352
01:58:58,667 --> 01:59:02,587
Speaker 22: The College Football Selection Committee leaned towards teams that dominate

2353
01:59:02,667 --> 01:59:04,427
Speaker 22: at the line of scrimmage. They sitting the top of

2354
01:59:04,427 --> 01:59:08,307
Speaker 22: the standings unbeaten on twelve are two teams, the defending

2355
01:59:08,387 --> 01:59:12,987
Speaker 22: national champion Ohio State Buckeyes and the Indiana USIA's, followed

2356
01:59:13,027 --> 01:59:16,347
Speaker 22: closely by the Georgia Bulldogs, Texas A and m Aggie's

2357
01:59:16,387 --> 01:59:18,987
Speaker 22: and Oregon Ducks, and with three other teams on eleven

2358
01:59:19,027 --> 01:59:20,427
Speaker 22: and one rounding out the top five.

2359
01:59:20,787 --> 01:59:20,907
Speaker 5: Now.

2360
01:59:20,947 --> 01:59:22,947
Speaker 22: The schedule for the twenty twenty five to twenty six

2361
01:59:23,027 --> 01:59:26,387
Speaker 22: College Football Playoff Brackett begins in mid to late December.

2362
01:59:26,827 --> 01:59:29,067
Speaker 22: This is the second year the CFP is using a

2363
01:59:29,107 --> 01:59:32,707
Speaker 22: twelve team format. Games are scheduled to start December nineteenth,

2364
01:59:33,027 --> 01:59:36,707
Speaker 22: culminated with the National Championship Game on Monday nineteen, twenty

2365
01:59:36,747 --> 01:59:39,507
Speaker 22: twenty six in Miami Gardens, Florida. For me, it's hard

2366
01:59:39,587 --> 01:59:42,347
Speaker 22: to go past the Ohio State, Indiana, Texas, A and

2367
01:59:42,507 --> 01:59:45,267
Speaker 22: m and Georgia tellift the national trophy as champions pinting.

2368
01:59:45,747 --> 01:59:47,267
Speaker 4: You and I have talked a lotly on about the

2369
01:59:47,467 --> 01:59:51,467
Speaker 4: eye watering money that is around, particularly in coaching roles.

2370
01:59:51,707 --> 01:59:53,627
Speaker 4: There are some elite coaching roles I think to be

2371
01:59:53,707 --> 01:59:54,787
Speaker 4: filled in college football.

2372
01:59:56,027 --> 01:59:58,387
Speaker 22: Yes, off the field and college football, there's still a

2373
01:59:58,467 --> 02:00:01,347
Speaker 22: number of marquee head coaching positions up for grabs, with

2374
02:00:01,507 --> 02:00:04,307
Speaker 22: the top paid coaches in college football now earning close

2375
02:00:04,707 --> 02:00:07,787
Speaker 22: to what the NFL counterparts to. So the top five

2376
02:00:07,867 --> 02:00:12,187
Speaker 22: vacancies at the moment include LSU Florida, then State Arkansas,

2377
02:00:12,227 --> 02:00:15,467
Speaker 22: and UCLA. What with ni on money and boosters, open

2378
02:00:15,587 --> 02:00:19,107
Speaker 22: checkbooks quite often dictate where perspective coaches will land. So

2379
02:00:19,467 --> 02:00:21,787
Speaker 22: in the college ranks, you look at the top coaches,

2380
02:00:21,827 --> 02:00:25,067
Speaker 22: they're getting around twelve to fifteen million dollars, which is

2381
02:00:25,107 --> 02:00:28,507
Speaker 22: equivalent to what the NFL coaches get as goalfinding.

2382
02:00:28,427 --> 02:00:31,187
Speaker 4: Just incredible money. Incredible money to the NFL.

2383
02:00:31,547 --> 02:00:33,947
Speaker 3: Yeah, are Thanksgiving in the week past, of course, and

2384
02:00:34,027 --> 02:00:37,667
Speaker 3: that's always big around NFL circles. Tell us about the

2385
02:00:37,707 --> 02:00:40,547
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving Day matches that have already occurred and some of

2386
02:00:40,587 --> 02:00:41,907
Speaker 3: the key games tomorrow as well.

2387
02:00:42,787 --> 02:00:43,587
Speaker 4: Yep, So we're now.

2388
02:00:43,587 --> 02:00:46,227
Speaker 22: Into Week thirteen with four games already competed over the

2389
02:00:46,307 --> 02:00:50,147
Speaker 22: Thanksgiving weekend. On Flesksgiving Day alone, last year there are

2390
02:00:50,147 --> 02:00:52,747
Speaker 22: one hundred and forty two million TV viewers, and this

2391
02:00:52,907 --> 02:00:56,507
Speaker 22: year that's expected to be similar numbers or even substantially more. So,

2392
02:00:56,587 --> 02:00:57,987
Speaker 22: we'll have a quick look at some of the key

2393
02:00:58,067 --> 02:01:01,227
Speaker 22: matchups for no less than thirteen games left to salivate

2394
02:01:01,267 --> 02:01:03,787
Speaker 22: over the In the early window, there are seven games.

2395
02:01:04,227 --> 02:01:07,867
Speaker 22: The most compelling matchup is an AFC showdown, with Houston

2396
02:01:07,907 --> 02:01:11,187
Speaker 22: away to Indianapolis. The surprising Colts will look to bounce

2397
02:01:11,267 --> 02:01:13,907
Speaker 22: back from their last game loss, but will be sorely

2398
02:01:13,987 --> 02:01:17,627
Speaker 22: tested against arguably the league's best defense and the Texans,

2399
02:01:17,667 --> 02:01:21,627
Speaker 22: who terrorize reigning MVP Bell's quarterback Josh Allen, sacking them

2400
02:01:21,667 --> 02:01:24,547
Speaker 22: a record eight times last week, the most in his career.

2401
02:01:24,787 --> 02:01:24,907
Speaker 9: Now.

2402
02:01:24,947 --> 02:01:28,147
Speaker 22: Another game of interest early is the Cleveland Browns hosting

2403
02:01:28,187 --> 02:01:31,307
Speaker 22: the San Francisco forty nine Ers, quarterback for the Browns,

2404
02:01:31,347 --> 02:01:33,387
Speaker 22: should do a sand as well as first start last

2405
02:01:33,387 --> 02:01:36,427
Speaker 22: week or be it against the awful Las Vegas Raiders. Now,

2406
02:01:36,467 --> 02:01:38,387
Speaker 22: the forty nine ers will certainly be a big step

2407
02:01:38,467 --> 02:01:40,067
Speaker 22: up for the rookie, but there's a lot of hope

2408
02:01:40,347 --> 02:01:43,587
Speaker 22: for long suffering Cleveland fans that Sanders will be their

2409
02:01:43,627 --> 02:01:46,347
Speaker 22: missing piece. And there's still one of only four teams

2410
02:01:46,387 --> 02:01:48,307
Speaker 22: to never play in the Super Bowl. I feel that

2411
02:01:48,387 --> 02:01:50,547
Speaker 22: Cleveland need to build their roster up front on the

2412
02:01:50,627 --> 02:01:52,587
Speaker 22: offensive line of the ball, and they're still a few

2413
02:01:52,667 --> 02:01:54,387
Speaker 22: years away from making a playoff appearance.

2414
02:01:55,907 --> 02:01:58,667
Speaker 3: I just want to move quickly to the Chiefs, the

2415
02:01:58,747 --> 02:02:01,667
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs before we knock it on the head. Lyon,

2416
02:02:02,227 --> 02:02:05,827
Speaker 3: is there dinasty overall? I see they're basically they're basically

2417
02:02:05,867 --> 02:02:09,427
Speaker 3: six and six one six losses that eight championship winning material?

2418
02:02:09,547 --> 02:02:14,027
Speaker 22: Is it yes day? Surprising? M Kansas City Chiefs dump

2419
02:02:14,107 --> 02:02:17,027
Speaker 22: into the last three Super Bowls. Now, they currently, as

2420
02:02:17,107 --> 02:02:19,227
Speaker 22: you said, have a five hundred records six and six

2421
02:02:19,307 --> 02:02:21,347
Speaker 22: and will have to run what they call run the

2422
02:02:21,427 --> 02:02:24,627
Speaker 22: table after any chance of making the postseason. So in

2423
02:02:24,787 --> 02:02:26,947
Speaker 22: their remaining schedule they have a good chance to win

2424
02:02:27,067 --> 02:02:30,347
Speaker 22: all five with three harder matchups at home and two

2425
02:02:30,427 --> 02:02:34,027
Speaker 22: easy road games. Since Patrick Mahomes began the starting quarterback

2426
02:02:34,107 --> 02:02:37,387
Speaker 22: for Kansas City in twenty eighteen, he's led the team

2427
02:02:37,467 --> 02:02:41,467
Speaker 22: to an unprecedented seven straight AFC Championship games, which has

2428
02:02:41,547 --> 02:02:44,067
Speaker 22: never been done before on the Super Bowl era. It

2429
02:02:44,107 --> 02:02:47,107
Speaker 22: looks like the dynasty may finally be over though, or

2430
02:02:47,147 --> 02:02:48,987
Speaker 22: on hold at least for the meantime. But with head

2431
02:02:49,027 --> 02:02:52,067
Speaker 22: coach Andy Reid still at the helm and myhome's under center,

2432
02:02:52,667 --> 02:02:55,547
Speaker 22: let's not throw dirt on their proverbial grave. Just step finding.

2433
02:02:55,627 --> 02:02:58,387
Speaker 3: Thanks me o mate, oh Leon, It's always a pleasure

2434
02:02:58,427 --> 02:03:03,627

2440
02:03:20,347 --> 02:03:23,027
Speaker 4: Five to three. That's pretty much us for the afternoon.

2441
02:03:23,147 --> 02:03:26,027
Speaker 3: Just a very quick check back on the golf and

2442
02:03:26,147 --> 02:03:29,187
Speaker 3: Brisbane Kazumi Kerbori even path through four holes. He's twelve

2443
02:03:29,267 --> 02:03:31,147
Speaker 3: under for the tournament. The leader though now is David

2444
02:03:31,227 --> 02:03:34,907
Speaker 3: Puig out of Spain. He is two under through three holes,

2445
02:03:34,987 --> 02:03:37,467
Speaker 3: fifteen under for the tournament now so lo scoring. Nick

2446
02:03:37,467 --> 02:03:40,107
Speaker 3: Focus one under through six holes, eleven under for the

2447
02:03:40,147 --> 02:03:42,947
Speaker 3: tournament and Daniel Hilly are won over through five holes

2448
02:03:42,947 --> 02:03:45,227
