1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Sport with tab in play bet with real time odds

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: and stats are eighteen bet.

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: Responsibly Pining's with us this afternoon.

4
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 3: Hey honey, how are you, Ryan?

5
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: Hi made? I'm good. Thanks.

6
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 3: So Tom Blundell returns for the black Caps. Is this

7
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 3: the right call you, reckon?

8
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: I think so, yes. I think incumbency is quite a

9
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 2: strong motivator here as far as the black Caps are concerned.

10
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: Tom Blundle's been the wicket keeper since twenty twenty one.

11
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: He wasn't dropped for the second Test against the Western

12
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: DC had an injury and they've often been of the

13
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: view that if you're injured and you come back in

14
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: and you were part of the team, you come back

15
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: into the team. Mitch Hay had a very good debut

16
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: with the basin and we'll play undoubtedly a lot of

17
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: Test cricket for New Zealand. But I think having Tom

18
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: Blundell come back in for the third Test at the

19
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: Mount starting later in the week is the right call.

20
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: Not everybody agrees with it, Ryan, but that's the beauty.

21
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 3: Of it all. Yeah, no, exactly. That keeps it interesting. Hey,

22
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: is Gean Carlo Italiano? How's he doing? I mean, fourth

23
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 3: loss in five games now with the Phoenix.

24
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, under pressure has to be under pressure gian Calo

25
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: Italiano and not if you zoom out of it I've

26
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: had They've had just five wins in their last twenty

27
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: nine matches. Now in any league anywhere in the world.

28
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: That is the kind of kind of stat that's going

29
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: to put pressure on a head coach. Will they make

30
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: a move? I think they'll probably give him at least

31
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: this weekend against the Mariners to see if he can

32
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 2: turn things around. I just cannot see though, if they

33
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: were to lose again this coming Sunday at home to

34
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: another team nearer the bottom of the table than the top,

35
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: that he would be able to survive. I think he's

36
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: probably drinking at the Last Chance saloon.

37
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: Hey McCullum very quickly on me. Is he could he

38
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: potentially lose his job if they know if they it

39
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: all goes tits up over in Australia because this contract

40
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: apparently is through to twenty twenty seven. But do you

41
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: reckon they could get rid of em Elia.

42
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: I guess they could if they wanted to, if they

43
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: decide that really he and Ben Stokes, because they come

44
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: as a bit of a pair, are not the right

45
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: men to lead England for they could. I mean, contracts

46
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: are always you can always extricate yourself from them, card

47
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: you as the person with the contract or the person

48
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: giving out the contract. I think they'd have to lose

49
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: five nil and have no sign of re any improvement

50
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: at all for him to be on the chopping blog

51
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:02,720
