15
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: going to sleep in the car. Hey, So the cricket

16
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: hasn't started yet and Ants was just telling us producer

17
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 1: Ants they're digging out the pitch now and trying to

18
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: try to replace it with some dry stuff.

19
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 3: Oh h We're the BCCI and we're the biggest, most

20
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 3: powerful and wealthiest cricket nation in the world and this

21
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 3: is our fourteenth or twelfth test. Venuine Oh it doesn't drain.

22
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I didn't realize doesn't drain what No, the

23
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 3: pitch is fine, but the outfield ducks with.

24
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: Game. Nothing is to pull the thing off, aren't they

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: look somebody? If they're digging the holes and then relaying

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: astro turf, somebody's going to blow an ankle out. They

27
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: really are.

28
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: That's actually a good point.

29
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: This is an embarrassment to the b c C I

30
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: and I really feel for Afghanistan coming out playing the

31
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: first test against New Zealand, for the New Zealanders who

32
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: want to get into a rhythm before they play a

33
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: series of tests right the way through to Christmas. There's

34
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: something comforting about the rain wrecking a game of Crockett

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: though it's like some on its way.

36
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: It's something nice about it.

37
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, you've got to just look at them and

38
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: go what were you doing? I mean, that really is

39
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: so shame on you, b c C. I.

40
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: Well, at least we can watch reruns right now of

41
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: the Argument Wall. That's that's appy spot for me.

42
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: Watch TV book.

43
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: What is what's going on with the White Ferns that.

44
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: The fifteen have been named to go over there? Heading

45
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 2: up to Australia to play a few warm up games,

46
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: and I had a couple more T twenty I World

47
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: Cup for Women in United Arab Emirates in October, so

48
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: fifteen athlete squad has been named to go over there.

49
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: There's only one player who has not experienced World Cup

50
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: level before, so on a very experienced team. The issue

51
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: with this is this same very experienced team went to

52
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: England and got smalls. They've been terrible. I hate saying

53
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: this because I'm a fan of Cracker and the White

54
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: Ferns are great and they've provided me with so much entertainment.

55
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: But you look at it and go, wow, the results

56
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: aren't there and you're still running with the same athletes. Well,

57
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: what happens at the next level? This is what I'm

58
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: interested in. If you've got a number of these players,

59
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: and full respect to Divine and Baits and all these

60
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: players that have held on to their positions because plainly

61
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: there's no one coming up behind them that's pushing them out.

62
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: So the issue is at that next level where are

63
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: they at. Are they getting the correct funding, are they

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: playing in the right competitions, Are they being given the

65
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: tools to progress to the next level or are they not?

66
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: And if they're not, these athletes who are there now,

67
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: stay there forever, and all respect them because there's a

68
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: lot of tremendous athletes who have have done fantastic things,

69
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: but they're not doing them now. It's really hard to

70
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: swallow it. We don't talk to Melly Kerr later on

71
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: in the show about that about where the next level

72
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: of talent is coming to about because you always get

73
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: the same line, like, I know we're making improvements. There

74
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: are here at meetings and and so what are they

75
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: and how do you know it? Because to the public,

76
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: we're sitting there and go. You got pumped in the

77
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: one day Series three? Is that you got wiped off

78
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,600

00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: Can I say something?

Speaker 2: They listened to their learnings learning your lesson?

84
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,320

Speaker 1: looking so much better, Darcy. Good on you.

86
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: I like the way you're stroking your gin when you

87
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: say that.

88
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about you growing a beer my

89
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: own one. Hey, that's something for when I'm in my eighties.

90
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: I think I might be able to do. Hey, Darcy,
