1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Seventeen past five, Dusty Water gross Sports. I'm fine, thank you?

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: How are you good? God? Now?

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: Why why are you coming in so hot? Because you're

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: excited about this weekend? Aren't you like you were about

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: last weeyear?

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, I work Saturday, so it's not really a

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: long weekend. But I have a long weekend by default anyway,

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: because I finished work at nine o'clock on Saturday morning,

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: come back at midday on Tuesdays, so this is a friday.

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: Is an addition, whether we kind of pause to do

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: some money and then back into the fray of doing nothing.

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: Yes, isn't it lovely?

13
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: Just like last weekend? I'll take it.

14
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: What do you make of this cricket idea?

15
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: They have to more than anything, They have to. I

16
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: think if you stand still and you watch the cricketing

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: world develop, and it is developing in a rush, in

18
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: a hurri The big money of TEA twenty franchise cricket

19
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: is swamping everything, and change is a foot. It's a

20
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: foot for bilateral series, for its national T twenties, for

21
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: Test series. But everything is changing.

22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: How does this US based T twenty comp work? Are

23
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: we going to have a team called New Zealand.

24
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: No, no, to be a part share in a franchise team.

25
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: It's is set up by a crew who set up

26
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: the Major League Cricket who also own a team over

27
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: there as well. So basically for a seven figure sum,

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: New Zealand Cricket are helping establish this team. They are

29
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: providing three assistant coaches and a head coach and some

30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: players and a bit of intel around the game of cricket,

31
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: so they'll cast that check. They're also getting some they

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: call it sweat equity if they are going to buy

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: into the game too. So if it starts making a

34
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: whole lot of money.

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: Teams, I mean, are they going to be geographically based

36
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: within the US? Are they going to be like the

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: Seattle team.

38
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: Well, there's six teams already. It's already been running for

39
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: a year and a half a year and a bit,

40
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: so there's six teams already, and the owners and they'll

41
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: will filter players either Black Caps at that high level

42
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: or maybe some of our upcoming domestic players. They'll fill

43
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: them through that system. So therefore, a they get more money,

44
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: so it stops and running away so many times to

45
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: other big franchise leagues. And look, it helps them out

46
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: because they've they've got an option maybe for another team

47
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: in twenty thirty one if it works well.

48
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: What if one of our black Caps decides that what

49
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: he wants to play in the in the T twenty

50
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: in the US, but for a competing team.

51
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: I suppose he can. I think his Eland cricket had

52
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 2: been very very malleable when it comes to.

53
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: What the plan is to be cutting our lunch potentially

54
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: because we own the opposite opposition.

55
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: Team, but we create. And this is why this group

56
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: was interested in involving or engaging with the Zealand cricketers,

57
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: because we've got this nasty habit with a tiny population

58
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: to produce some crash hot cricketers. Yeah, really have. And

59
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: also there's a chance that maybe they might enter the

60
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: Big Bash. Our Super Smash has been very good as

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: far as developing in pathways, but maybe look towards working

62
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: with the Australians too. It's changing so fast. They've got

63
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: to sit They're not sit there. They've got to do something.

64
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 2: They've got to be involved. And look, Scott Wenning said,

65
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: we looked at our five year plan a year ago

66
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: and went, oh, we're running out of money. So they

67
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: started thinking what can we do? And I think that

68
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: Scott Wenning has been really good for New Zealand cricket.

69
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: They're not afraid of looking at ideas. They're not afraid

70
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: of juggling a few things and going well, what's actually

71
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: going to work? Because, as I said before, you sit

72
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: there on the sidelines and watch it go past you.

73
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: Suddenly the games in the distance, and you'll still sit

74
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: in there going.

75
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: Does I haven't got a huge amount of time because

76
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: I really have to get to some other stuff, but

77
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: you tell me really quickly about Chiefie.

78
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: Giancarlo Italiano has been signed for another year than option

79
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: for a second year after having a horrible year this season.

80
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: Great before that awful year. I'd like to call it

81
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: the Rob Penny contract because he had that year right

82
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: and now he's back and look what he's doing. So

83
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: let's hope that mister Italiano CHIEFI can actually work his

84
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: magic next season and not be second fiddle to the Aucklands.

85
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: Love it given a chance. Hey, thank you very much
