1 00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,547 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine 2 00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:11,747 Speaker 1: from Newstalks EDB. 3 00:00:12,747 --> 00:00:15,667 Speaker 2: The domestic T twenty silverware handed out to that at 4 00:00:15,667 --> 00:00:19,587 Speaker 2: the Basin Otago against Wellington in the women's final Otaga, 5 00:00:19,627 --> 00:00:22,667 Speaker 2: I've just started their run chase for one hundred and 6 00:00:22,867 --> 00:00:26,067 Speaker 2: five to win the women's trophy. It follows or will 7 00:00:26,107 --> 00:00:29,867 Speaker 2: be followed by c D against Canterbury and the men's final. 8 00:00:30,107 --> 00:00:33,427 Speaker 2: Canterbury earning their place with a comprehensive seven wicket win 9 00:00:33,907 --> 00:00:38,507 Speaker 2: over Northern in the elimination final yesterday. Why here's an 10 00:00:38,507 --> 00:00:42,907 Speaker 2: opportunity for med Buell on the rope, takes it cleanly. 11 00:00:43,587 --> 00:00:45,467 Speaker 3: Player Mike strikes. 12 00:00:44,947 --> 00:00:48,987 Speaker 2: A fourth one face this time ats'donald Oh. 13 00:00:49,107 --> 00:00:52,147 Speaker 3: Matt Henry, he's so for none. 14 00:00:52,467 --> 00:00:54,187 Speaker 4: Basically halfway through his third over. 15 00:00:54,307 --> 00:00:56,867 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's picked up his second worker yet to concede 16 00:00:56,867 --> 00:00:57,227 Speaker 2: a run. 17 00:00:57,267 --> 00:00:59,267 Speaker 4: It just goes from bad to worse for the Brave. 18 00:01:00,027 --> 00:01:01,467 Speaker 3: I don't know what's happening out there. 19 00:01:01,467 --> 00:01:04,827 Speaker 2: Matt Henry's has folled three overs, he's got eighteen dot balls. 20 00:01:05,547 --> 00:01:08,787 Speaker 3: Oh runs for two records. But more importantly Northern Braves 21 00:01:08,827 --> 00:01:10,867 Speaker 3: seven seven for four. It got worse. 22 00:01:10,907 --> 00:01:13,667 Speaker 2: They were seven for five a short time later before 23 00:01:13,747 --> 00:01:17,027 Speaker 2: somehow getting through to one hundred and ten for nine. 24 00:01:17,427 --> 00:01:20,227 Speaker 2: Canterbury chased that down inside fourteen overs to make the finals. 25 00:01:20,267 --> 00:01:22,467 Speaker 3: Today. Canterbury coach is Peter Fulton, who joins us. 26 00:01:22,467 --> 00:01:25,027 Speaker 2: Now, Peter, what was going through mine yesterday when you 27 00:01:25,067 --> 00:01:27,387 Speaker 2: set Northern in and there were seven for five? 28 00:01:28,347 --> 00:01:32,827 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was pretty pretty surreal. I suppose the wicket, look, 29 00:01:32,867 --> 00:01:35,627 Speaker 4: it was a new surface, plenty of plenty of bounds, 30 00:01:35,627 --> 00:01:38,667 Speaker 4: plenty of pace. So probably you know, if you'd if 31 00:01:38,667 --> 00:01:41,507 Speaker 4: you'd turned up and you know, got to choose the 32 00:01:41,547 --> 00:01:43,907 Speaker 4: sort of surface you'd like to play on with our 33 00:01:44,027 --> 00:01:46,107 Speaker 4: with our team and our bowling attack, and then that 34 00:01:46,107 --> 00:01:46,987 Speaker 4: would have definitely been in. 35 00:01:47,027 --> 00:01:48,907 Speaker 2: I suppose just want to ask about a couple of 36 00:01:48,947 --> 00:01:52,587 Speaker 2: year bowlers. Matt Henry four overs, two for two, remarkable. 37 00:01:52,587 --> 00:01:54,227 Speaker 2: Can you tell us I can tell us a bit 38 00:01:54,227 --> 00:01:55,787 Speaker 2: more about his bowling yesterday? 39 00:01:56,907 --> 00:01:57,067 Speaker 1: Oh? 40 00:01:57,147 --> 00:02:00,347 Speaker 4: Look, he just he just did what he does I 41 00:02:00,347 --> 00:02:04,347 Speaker 4: think probably over the last year or so eighteen months. Yeah, 42 00:02:04,387 --> 00:02:07,067 Speaker 4: you can really see E's just and complete control of 43 00:02:07,427 --> 00:02:10,187 Speaker 4: I guess is bowling, and he knows what to do, 44 00:02:10,347 --> 00:02:13,627 Speaker 4: he knows on each surface, against each each you know, 45 00:02:13,747 --> 00:02:16,627 Speaker 4: it gets a different batsman where he has to bowl, 46 00:02:17,187 --> 00:02:19,027 Speaker 4: and I think he's probably taken a lot of confidence 47 00:02:19,027 --> 00:02:21,547 Speaker 4: I suppose, as I say, over the last twelve eighteen months, 48 00:02:21,547 --> 00:02:24,387 Speaker 4: he's probably you know, he's taken over that mantle as 49 00:02:24,427 --> 00:02:27,387 Speaker 4: the as the leading bowler and all three formats of 50 00:02:27,427 --> 00:02:30,347 Speaker 4: New Zealand, you know pretty much. So yeah, at the 51 00:02:30,507 --> 00:02:33,107 Speaker 4: at the peak of his powers and hopefully he's got 52 00:02:33,227 --> 00:02:34,867 Speaker 4: another good performance list in him today. 53 00:02:34,947 --> 00:02:35,427 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 54 00:02:35,467 --> 00:02:38,147 Speaker 2: Corl Jamison also picked up some willkets three for him 55 00:02:38,987 --> 00:02:40,107 Speaker 2: as he back to full fittness. 56 00:02:40,107 --> 00:02:41,907 Speaker 3: Now, Peter, will he play a red bull cricket for you? 57 00:02:43,467 --> 00:02:44,947 Speaker 4: I don't think you play. I don't think you played 58 00:02:44,947 --> 00:02:48,147 Speaker 4: red Bull cricket this season. Yeah, Look, he's fully he's 59 00:02:48,147 --> 00:02:52,227 Speaker 4: fully fit, but he's obviously only bowling four overs four 60 00:02:52,267 --> 00:02:53,827 Speaker 4: overs in a match at a time at the moment, 61 00:02:53,907 --> 00:02:56,147 Speaker 4: so yeah, I think it's I think his plan is 62 00:02:56,227 --> 00:02:58,867 Speaker 4: to is to try and sort of keep keep building 63 00:02:58,947 --> 00:03:01,747 Speaker 4: up through Ford Trophy and you know, with an eye 64 00:03:01,827 --> 00:03:04,707 Speaker 4: on being available for those for those white ball matches 65 00:03:04,707 --> 00:03:07,187 Speaker 4: against Pakistan when the Black Cats get back from Champions 66 00:03:07,227 --> 00:03:08,547 Speaker 4: Trophy and with. 67 00:03:08,547 --> 00:03:10,827 Speaker 2: The bat Matt Boyle top scored for you again yesterday 68 00:03:10,867 --> 00:03:13,067 Speaker 2: forty eight off twenty five, closing in on four hundred 69 00:03:13,147 --> 00:03:16,067 Speaker 2: runs for the season. Now top run scorer in the camp. 70 00:03:16,107 --> 00:03:18,987 Speaker 2: He striking it up over one point fifty. Why has 71 00:03:19,027 --> 00:03:20,627 Speaker 2: he been so effective for you this summer? 72 00:03:22,587 --> 00:03:24,627 Speaker 4: Oh? Look, I mean he's got he's got I guess 73 00:03:24,627 --> 00:03:26,747 Speaker 4: a full full of sort of a ray of shots. 74 00:03:26,747 --> 00:03:28,267 Speaker 4: He can score off the back foot, he can score 75 00:03:28,307 --> 00:03:31,387 Speaker 4: off the front foot. He can you know, he can. 76 00:03:31,947 --> 00:03:34,947 Speaker 4: They spin well. So he's always had that talent. He's 77 00:03:35,267 --> 00:03:37,547 Speaker 4: a prolific run scorer sort of all through high school 78 00:03:37,587 --> 00:03:40,707 Speaker 4: and underage cricket, taking him a couple of years at 79 00:03:40,707 --> 00:03:44,067 Speaker 4: this level just to find his feet and work a 80 00:03:44,067 --> 00:03:46,787 Speaker 4: few things out. But yeah, he's he's in some great 81 00:03:46,787 --> 00:03:50,147 Speaker 4: form at the moment. The confidence is really high, and yeah, 82 00:03:50,307 --> 00:03:52,267 Speaker 4: just really pleased for him for the amount of work 83 00:03:52,267 --> 00:03:54,067 Speaker 4: he's done in the struggles he's had to go through. 84 00:03:54,427 --> 00:03:56,187 Speaker 4: You know, during the initial sort of year or two 85 00:03:56,187 --> 00:03:56,707 Speaker 4: of his career. 86 00:03:57,147 --> 00:03:59,627 Speaker 3: What were they? What have you helped him with? Particularly? 87 00:03:59,667 --> 00:04:02,307 Speaker 2: What what's you know, as a as a light bulb 88 00:04:02,347 --> 00:04:04,507 Speaker 2: turned on, what's happened to him to allow him to 89 00:04:04,547 --> 00:04:07,507 Speaker 2: go from struggling to now, you know, thriving. 90 00:04:08,787 --> 00:04:10,667 Speaker 4: I think probably just the mental side of the game. 91 00:04:11,147 --> 00:04:14,507 Speaker 4: You know, there's there's different pressures that I guess are 92 00:04:14,987 --> 00:04:17,587 Speaker 4: put on you externally and also that you put on 93 00:04:17,627 --> 00:04:20,147 Speaker 4: yourself when you first I suppose, you know, become a 94 00:04:20,187 --> 00:04:22,987 Speaker 4: contracted player and you know you sort of have that 95 00:04:23,107 --> 00:04:26,947 Speaker 4: label of a professional cricketer. So yeah, he's probably just 96 00:04:27,547 --> 00:04:29,307 Speaker 4: growing up a little bit. Over the last couple of years. 97 00:04:29,307 --> 00:04:32,507 Speaker 4: He's matured, he's worked out, you know, how he wants 98 00:04:32,507 --> 00:04:35,787 Speaker 4: to play, you know, and also the tempo at which 99 00:04:35,787 --> 00:04:37,627 Speaker 4: he needs to back. So yeah, like I said, the 100 00:04:37,627 --> 00:04:39,707 Speaker 4: mental side of the game, he's made some big improvements, 101 00:04:40,987 --> 00:04:42,427 Speaker 4: and like I said, I'm sure he's going to have 102 00:04:42,427 --> 00:04:43,947 Speaker 4: a really big future in the game. 103 00:04:44,147 --> 00:04:45,987 Speaker 2: That's his brother Jack in the CD side, isn't it. 104 00:04:46,027 --> 00:04:47,707 Speaker 2: Who do you think his parents or their parents support 105 00:04:47,747 --> 00:04:48,547 Speaker 2: on a day like today? 106 00:04:49,907 --> 00:04:51,987 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not too sure. I'm not too sure. I 107 00:04:52,027 --> 00:04:55,267 Speaker 4: mean the dad Justin played for he played first class 108 00:04:55,267 --> 00:04:58,507 Speaker 4: cricket for Cannery and Wellington. Yeah, and their uncle David 109 00:04:58,507 --> 00:05:00,867 Speaker 4: played for Canabary as well. So I mean you're just 110 00:05:01,387 --> 00:05:02,987 Speaker 4: I suppose you put two and two together and say 111 00:05:03,187 --> 00:05:04,827 Speaker 4: I'd have to be supporting Canary, wouldn't they? 112 00:05:05,347 --> 00:05:08,907 Speaker 2: Well I presume, So look I presume. So let's look 113 00:05:08,947 --> 00:05:10,547 Speaker 2: at the season as a whole. You lost four of 114 00:05:10,627 --> 00:05:13,587 Speaker 2: your first five T twenty games. What was the problem 115 00:05:13,587 --> 00:05:14,027 Speaker 2: early on? 116 00:05:16,667 --> 00:05:19,907 Speaker 4: Look, I think the first two games in particular, we 117 00:05:19,907 --> 00:05:22,067 Speaker 4: were we were in winning positions to win both, and 118 00:05:22,267 --> 00:05:23,867 Speaker 4: you know, we threw it away probably in the last 119 00:05:23,987 --> 00:05:26,907 Speaker 4: five or six overs, you know of our betting, and 120 00:05:27,747 --> 00:05:30,947 Speaker 4: so yeah, at one stage there was the back end 121 00:05:30,947 --> 00:05:33,547 Speaker 4: it looked like those those games, we're gonna we're gonna 122 00:05:33,547 --> 00:05:36,427 Speaker 4: probably come back to buy this, you know. But we 123 00:05:36,467 --> 00:05:38,427 Speaker 4: started playing some really good cricket at the back end. 124 00:05:38,427 --> 00:05:40,547 Speaker 4: And look, we had some weird a little bit of 125 00:05:40,627 --> 00:05:43,747 Speaker 4: good fortune with with CD beating Auckland and then the 126 00:05:43,827 --> 00:05:47,107 Speaker 4: rain out. So look, I suppose that's the swings and 127 00:05:47,187 --> 00:05:50,227 Speaker 4: roundabout to cricket last year at this time of the season. 128 00:05:50,467 --> 00:05:53,627 Speaker 4: You know, we we got, you know, we got we 129 00:05:53,747 --> 00:05:55,627 Speaker 4: got the rough end of the stick with the weather 130 00:05:55,707 --> 00:05:58,467 Speaker 4: and with the final at Eaton Park. So yeah, like 131 00:05:58,507 --> 00:06:02,027 Speaker 4: I said, hopefully, hopefully we'll do a little bit of luck, 132 00:06:02,067 --> 00:06:04,547 Speaker 4: and we've managed to. I suppose this far, you know, 133 00:06:04,667 --> 00:06:05,987 Speaker 4: take take it with both hands. 134 00:06:06,467 --> 00:06:08,347 Speaker 2: Something you've had to deal with, and in fact, a 135 00:06:08,387 --> 00:06:10,107 Speaker 2: lot of coaches have to have to deal with is 136 00:06:10,147 --> 00:06:13,667 Speaker 2: the reintegration of your black Caps players back into your side. 137 00:06:13,907 --> 00:06:15,947 Speaker 2: How do you go about that, Peter in terms of 138 00:06:15,987 --> 00:06:19,147 Speaker 2: you know, I guess guys who have been there for you, 139 00:06:19,227 --> 00:06:22,267 Speaker 2: but but no that they're probably going to drop out 140 00:06:22,267 --> 00:06:24,747 Speaker 2: when when somebody from the black Caps comes back in. 141 00:06:25,987 --> 00:06:30,667 Speaker 4: Yeah, look, it's not easy. I suppose you know, for us, 142 00:06:30,667 --> 00:06:32,427 Speaker 4: we sort of talk about it at the start of 143 00:06:32,427 --> 00:06:35,867 Speaker 4: each season, and that's just the reality. I mean, the guys, 144 00:06:36,507 --> 00:06:38,947 Speaker 4: the guys are not silly. They can they can look 145 00:06:38,947 --> 00:06:41,827 Speaker 4: at the domestic schedule, they can look at the international schedule, 146 00:06:41,867 --> 00:06:44,107 Speaker 4: and they can work it out for themselves, you know 147 00:06:44,147 --> 00:06:48,827 Speaker 4: when certain guys might be available. So look at philosophy 148 00:06:48,867 --> 00:06:50,787 Speaker 4: here is obviously, when the black Cap guys come back, 149 00:06:50,827 --> 00:06:53,067 Speaker 4: they play. That's just even if it's for one game, 150 00:06:53,107 --> 00:06:56,027 Speaker 4: that's you know, that's just that's just how it is. 151 00:06:57,347 --> 00:06:59,187 Speaker 4: And we're just I suppose we're lucky that the guys 152 00:06:59,187 --> 00:07:02,347 Speaker 4: that do come back from international cricket. You know, when 153 00:07:02,587 --> 00:07:04,947 Speaker 4: they come back, they are normally really keen to play 154 00:07:04,987 --> 00:07:06,947 Speaker 4: and to try and you know, at sen and do 155 00:07:06,987 --> 00:07:07,307 Speaker 4: their bit. 156 00:07:08,227 --> 00:07:09,947 Speaker 2: I couldn't believe this. I checked this this morning. The 157 00:07:09,987 --> 00:07:12,507 Speaker 2: last time Canibry won the domestic T twenty men's camp 158 00:07:12,627 --> 00:07:15,747 Speaker 2: was the summer of five six you were on the team. 159 00:07:15,787 --> 00:07:18,427 Speaker 2: Then has this piece of silver. We're been a target 160 00:07:18,427 --> 00:07:18,667 Speaker 2: for you. 161 00:07:20,227 --> 00:07:23,387 Speaker 4: Oh, I think they're all They're all a target. Yeah, 162 00:07:23,427 --> 00:07:26,427 Speaker 4: I suppose the T twenty one is probably in some 163 00:07:26,467 --> 00:07:29,627 Speaker 4: ways as the it's the possibly the hardest to win 164 00:07:29,667 --> 00:07:33,267 Speaker 4: because it's the most the games, the most fickle, you know, 165 00:07:33,347 --> 00:07:35,507 Speaker 4: and a couple of good overs here or there, or 166 00:07:35,507 --> 00:07:37,507 Speaker 4: a couple of good balls here or they can decide 167 00:07:37,947 --> 00:07:40,987 Speaker 4: can decide the game. Yeah, we've we've done really well 168 00:07:40,987 --> 00:07:44,107 Speaker 4: the last few years. We've we've made finals and you know, 169 00:07:44,187 --> 00:07:47,587 Speaker 4: we've either been beaten on the day by an individual 170 00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:50,627 Speaker 4: innings or like I said, last year, the weather sort 171 00:07:50,627 --> 00:07:54,427 Speaker 4: of you know, caused us to come unstuck. So yeah, 172 00:07:54,507 --> 00:07:58,587 Speaker 4: looking it be obviously nice to want to be twenty 173 00:07:58,587 --> 00:08:00,307 Speaker 4: comp and sort of get that monkey off the back, 174 00:08:00,387 --> 00:08:03,387 Speaker 4: But yeah, I sort of feel like we're we're coming 175 00:08:03,387 --> 00:08:05,307 Speaker 4: into this one out of all of them, probably with 176 00:08:05,347 --> 00:08:08,427 Speaker 4: the least amount of pressure because yeah, ten days ago, 177 00:08:08,467 --> 00:08:09,787 Speaker 4: probably no one thought we were going to be in 178 00:08:09,787 --> 00:08:13,147 Speaker 4: the Semis, and probably some of the other teams. We're 179 00:08:13,187 --> 00:08:15,467 Speaker 4: probably pretty pretty glad about that. Given the given the 180 00:08:15,467 --> 00:08:16,187 Speaker 4: side we were going to. 181 00:08:16,187 --> 00:08:18,427 Speaker 2: Have come this time of the competition, did you reckon 182 00:08:18,467 --> 00:08:19,627 Speaker 2: your favorites for this game? 183 00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:23,907 Speaker 4: Oh? I don't know. I mean CD CD have had 184 00:08:23,907 --> 00:08:26,827 Speaker 4: a really good season. I've they've won, had two run 185 00:08:26,907 --> 00:08:29,147 Speaker 4: outs and won six of the eight games. So you're 186 00:08:29,147 --> 00:08:31,107 Speaker 4: playing some really good cricket and they've got they've got, 187 00:08:31,467 --> 00:08:32,987 Speaker 4: you know, plenty of guys in their team that have 188 00:08:33,427 --> 00:08:35,827 Speaker 4: you know, played a high level cricket too. So yeah, 189 00:08:35,987 --> 00:08:38,587 Speaker 4: I mean it doesn't It doesn't really make any difference 190 00:08:38,587 --> 00:08:41,987 Speaker 4: to us. I said, we know that, you know, we 191 00:08:42,147 --> 00:08:43,787 Speaker 4: know that most of the country probably don't want us 192 00:08:43,787 --> 00:08:45,987 Speaker 4: to win, so we're we're hoping to disappoint a few people. 193 00:08:46,067 --> 00:08:49,987 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure that's not true. That's not true. 194 00:08:50,027 --> 00:08:56,187 Speaker 4: Fault, That's definitely true. All right. 195 00:08:56,187 --> 00:08:58,387 Speaker 2: Well, as you mentioned a couple of times I made 196 00:08:58,387 --> 00:09:01,027 Speaker 2: the final last year, abandoned due to rain Auklamanic because 197 00:09:01,027 --> 00:09:01,667 Speaker 2: they finished top. 198 00:09:01,987 --> 00:09:04,187 Speaker 3: How's the forecasting in Wellington today? 199 00:09:05,627 --> 00:09:08,467 Speaker 4: It looks okay, it looks okay.

Well, like I said, I'm not sure that's true. 207 00:09:25,467 --> 00:09:27,187 Speaker 2: I think Cannaburry our favorite. You look at their team, 208 00:09:27,187 --> 00:09:31,707 Speaker 2: they're stacked, absolutely stacked full of black Caps players, you know. 209 00:09:31,787 --> 00:09:34,827 Speaker 2: But CD have been very, very good right across the season, 210 00:09:34,987 --> 00:09:38,907 Speaker 2: some excellent players.
