1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Jason Pines Sports Stalok Coasters of that's hay Piney.

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 2: Hello, Heather, you reckon it was the right call? Absolutely, yeah, absolutely.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 2: If the alternative was entry into the Big Bash, then

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: what does that mean for a whole bunch of cricketers

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: who don't make the Big Bash team? We can put

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: that to one side. Now. It is the right decision.

7
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 2: To tell you what, Don McKinnon. A lot of sports

8
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 2: administrators could learn from him answering questions. Heather, you know

9
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: you've asked him questions. He gave you straight answers. I

10
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 2: thought that was very impressive from Don McKinnon. Yes, time

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: is of the essence. Now they've got to stand this

12
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: thing up. They've got to find the investors, as he said,

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: find buyers for the teams, run an auction if they

14
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: want to find venues, all that sort of thing. But

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: I mean, in many ways New Zealand Crickets sort of

16
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: have sat on their hands. But before they've come to

17
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: this point, at least we've got a decision. Onwards, I say,

18
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: Onwards absolutely the right decision.

19
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: Why aren't n z S talking about it given the

20
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: other ones who made the decision today?

21
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 2: I don't know the answer to.

22
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: That what's going on.

23
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: Well, I guess they probably feel as though they don't

24
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: have anything to say, but I want.

25
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: To know why they chose over BBL. I mean, there

26
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: are a thousand questions to ask them.

27
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: Man there, well hither you might get an argument from me?

28
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: Ah lord? Okay, Now, realistically, I mean that is a

29
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: long list of stuff that they have to get done.

30
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: They have to go to councils, they have to sell,

31
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: they have to sell the franchises potentially like the locations

32
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: to councils. The councils have to assure them that they

33
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: have got up to scratch facilities. It's just such a

34
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: long list of stuff they have to do before January?

35
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: Is it realistic?

36
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's what your hope is that they've been kind

37
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: of doing that in the background with the hope that

38
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: this day would come that they would get the decision

39
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: in their favor. Certainly, in as far as the investors

40
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: are concerned, I get the feeling that they've been in

41
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: contact regularly with the investors saying, Hey, we feel confident,

42
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: We're just waiting for the decision. Please hang with us,

43
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: Please stay with us. Probably the same with you know,

44
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: with the councils and those sort of people who have

45
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: the grounds. You know, maybe this isn't actually as much

46
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: of a race against time as we think it is.

47
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: It's March they've got you'd have to think they want

48
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: to have it or everything in place by what November.

49
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: There's a bit of time to a bit of runway.

50
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: Not as much as they would have liked, but I

51
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: think enough runway.

52
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you might be right. I mean, it's

53
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: not as if we have to go and build things

54
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: from scratch, right, these facilities do.

55
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: Their grounds are there?

56
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

57
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: And the grounds are there.

58
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they get used from time to time. But the

59
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: hardest thing will be stitching together a few uniforms. But

60
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: I've got some white T shirts yep you okay?

61
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully hopefully they'll know where to come when they're looking,

62
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: when they're looking for kit.

63
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: I'll give them the white T shirts. You give them

64
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: the blue ones. Somebody can rock up with the red

65
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: Ones'll be fine. Hey, aren't the Warriors? What do you reckon?

66
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, yeah, what do you think? How good? I

67
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: think it's hard not to get excited, doesn't it. You know?

68
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: I know we're any three games in and Warriors fans

69
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: me included, tend to get a bit carried away with

70
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: these things. But man, they've been good, good the other day.

71
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 2: Tanner Boyd excellent, Jackson Ford superb. Everything trending in the

72
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: right direction. They should beat the Tigers this week. I

73
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: think the storm away in three weeks will give us,

74
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: you know, a good indication of where they actually are.

75
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: But at the moment, all indicators are fairly positive.

76
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: Heare, Honey. I always want to just understand what's going

77
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: on in their heads, because it's really I mean, you

78
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: can tell me if I'm wrong, but doesn't feel like

79
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: there is that much changing in terms of personnel from

80
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: year to year, and that performance has changed. So it's

81
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: all just in their head, isn't it.

82
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the way they're being coached, the way they're

83
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: being motivated. Yeah, yeah, but I don't know, maybe they're

84
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: developing together. You're right, there hasn't been a massive wholesale

85
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: change in roster. It's pretty much the same guys. So yeah.

86
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: One of the vagaries of elite sport A you can

87
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: be amazing one season and not so good the next,

88
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: and then here we go again. It's the roller coaster

89
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: of elite sport. I think Heather, it's all the.

90
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: Old mental game. Hey, thank you very much, Piney, looking
