I noticed that Mania is in the Middle East. Yes, 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:28.880 he's with one place where you're not supposed to be 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:29.280 right now. 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:31.640 He's with his Habibi's and I don't know if you've 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.120 seen him in his in his dish dash, which is 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:40.480 the traditional Emarati white cloak and also the head dress 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.120 as well. Of he's been in Oman, and he did 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:45.840 say the last time he was in the Middle East, 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.519 they'd come up and speak Arabic to him and Hemibi 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:53.159 ah halak Abibi and he'd be like, ah New Zealand 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.200 because he looks so he looks like he belongs. 0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:01.120 What does habibi mean? Friend? Ah? I love? How are 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:06.320 you Bibi? You're good? Gel Ain't you just Arabic down line? 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:07.400 I lived here for a while. 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.200 I lived there, Sallysla all that kind of carry out. 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:12.960 Well, most of when you go to a new place, 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.080 of the things that you absorb, locations of the nearest pub, yes, 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.039 and then whatever liquids you're allowed to consume. Yeah, well 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:19.760 that was pretty easy. 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.120 In the Middle East, it's basically every hotel. 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.399 Are because they don't actually have pubs. There's no drinking 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.640 his band, except they turn a blind eye. Is that right? 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:32.960 Well, hotels basically the hotels are like a giant mall 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.240 of bars. So you go in and there's a hotel bar, 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.280 but then there's a rooftop bar, and then in the 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.319 basement there's an Irish bar, and then on the beach 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.520 there's a beach bar, and then they have a nightclub 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.920 on the top floor as well. So every hotel in 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.680 the Middle East has about five bars in it, so 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.560 you can have a whole night in one hotel and 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.000 just go from bar to bar. So that's how they 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.320 get around it. Because it's illegal to be drunk in 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.520 public intoxicated in public. 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.600 That's why they don't do any breath testing. 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:03.320 This is dangerous for Westerners as well because they don't 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:07.880 have breath testing because you shouldn't actually be drinking. So yeah, 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.080 by theory, they shouldn't be so what happens is if 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.720 you crash and you've been you're drunk, you're fucked, You're 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.000 pretty much you're done. Yeah, so you run for the 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.080 hills at that stage, maybe just get a taxi straight to. 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:23.200 The airport, the Emirates economy. Yeah, to the river, to 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:24.040 the bottom of the earth. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.840 James McConney, have you ever been invited to one of 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:28.320 Jeremy Wells's white parties? 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:35.120 No, I'm not wide enough clearly who kids there not 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:36.280 for that Well, I don't know. 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.040 I haven't been invited either, but rumor is that he has. 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.720 He took a franchise of P Diddy's white parties and 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.680 he's been holding them in New Zealand for years. 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.240 Well, I know that he loves lube. Yeah. So I 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.120 mean when I as soon as they said the baby 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.240 oil thing, I thought, oh, Jerry. 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.280 Yeah, yeah, okay, I will. Neither of us been invited, 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.040 so maybe we'll have to get Jeremy on to discuss 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:56.840 as white parties. 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.600 Can I just say that I thought that Dinner on 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.760 Blanc whatever it was called, I thought that was one 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.720 of the winkiest things ever, the pop up pop up 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.160 dinners and everyone's wearing white and I'm like I would totally. 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.000 I'll go down there in my cricket creams pants. So 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.840 there's no way I'm not wearing white pants. I'm not 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.560 going out splashing out on a pair of white pants. 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.360 Does anyone want to see my VPL down on the waterfront, Yeah, 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.920 I'm not on the Viadact VPL on the Viadact. 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:26.760 I think that the greatest one of those white parties 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:31.440 or those dinner lan which was basically you went no no. 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.800 I saw pictures from it, which is just a disguised 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.800 P Diddy party. Really just make it French and it's okay, 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.240 but they they pop up. Was on the field at 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:42.760 Eating Park. 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.280 I'm so if it was a bit lame, yeah, I know, 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.960 it's the whole thing is I think it's died of 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.920 death now. It was just a little fad, but I 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.720 preferred dinner on noir. Yeah exactly. Yeah, get you your 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.880 black puff are out, which is what the still uniforms, 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.360 because you could get everyone's probably got a black shirt 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.200 of some kind, right, like yeah, I think in other nations, 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.600 I probably think, oh no, maybe that they wouldn't even 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.320 have that, But Kiwis have definitely got black in the wardrobe. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:14.760 We'll just check out a normal next game. 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.159 Yeah, exactly, you will. You've got them your merch. You've 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.839 got a black Caps top on right now, and then 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.839 so with your any national team, you've got your merch 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.800 and then you've got your black puffer yep. And then 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.640 generally if you've if you're a funeral goer, yeah, you'll 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.320 have especially if you're Maldy Adam will back me up 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.160 on this, you'll have a black shirt because you're not 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.440 always just wearing the jacket. But it is you have 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.159 to wear black. You have to, is there? 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.880 I mean, per capita, are we the biggest owners of 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:47.599 black puffer jackets in the world. 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.680 I mean, I think a lot of people won't necessarily 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.000 buy black straight away, whereas we look at it and 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.599 go yes, yeah, yeah, okay, I am this is me. 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.760 I'm I'm a kiwi. I'm a kiwi. This I live 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:01.200 in a to it or I'm wearing black. 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.159 But even anything above top or for example, you probably 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.200 go for the vest, the puffer vest as opposed to 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.240 the full puffer jacket. 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.920 Ohither you're talking the alpha dad puffers. I'm talking. 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.359 I'm talking finance bro kind of, but finance bro jackets 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.440 are a bit thinner. They're the thinner puffer jacket. They're 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:17.960 the kind of. 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:24.760 Yeah, the medium skinny, skinny piping or the skinny horizontal lines, 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.520 skinny stitching. Yeah, I know that's that means you're not 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.960 going full puffa. I've been sponsored by mac Packet Craig 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.280 as Weld, so I've seen the fuller array of puffers. Yes, 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.840 and I've I've got a Finance bro Alpha Dad puffery 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.520 little and it's it does. It is quite nice actually, 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.080 but then you when you're out there in a vest, 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.000 you do realize that you are you. 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:45.080 Look a bit of a dick. 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:50.039 Yeah. Hey, speaking of I've got my black Caps top on. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.440 I should probably have my black Caps supporters support grip 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.720 tissued on Big News this morning James mcconey, Oh Ship, 0:05:56.040 --> 0:06:01.440 Big News. Tim Soudy has zion from the Test captaincy 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.160 at the end of the Shrilankan tour just before they 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.839 fly out to India, and Tom Latham has been announced 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:08.600 as the new captain. 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:12.120 Saw me, Tom Latham, He's been circling for a while. 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.680 Oh yeah, and you called it years ago when he 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.400 was circling around Kan Williamson late at night when you 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:22.760 set that set, that regrettable set that bombshell out on Twitter. 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:26.680 No one takes my text seriously one text, they're like, oh, 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.240 jump on this, and I mean, yeah, I had heard something. 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.400 But do you know what in our line of work, 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.320 g Lane, I think you know, because we're not right 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.400 there in the mainstream media, we hold on to a 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:41.240 lot more bombshells. Yes, I know, probably stories that will 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.920 maybe come out next week. But I'm not going to 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.159 break your breaking news on Craig as well, because no 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.640 one goes a shit. It's like you're there to entertain us. 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.720 We don't care about your scoops. So whereas that was 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.440 the one time where I went, oh, this sounds a 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:59.480 bit like a Muppet question for you, James mcconey, this 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.719 happened in Sri Lanka. Do you think it happened in 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:06.839 Gaul before they flew out to India? Do you think 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.640 it happened in the exact same hotel room as the 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:16.360 Ross Taylor sacking. Oh wow, yes, exactly, I know what 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:21.000 you're talking about. Yeah, when the shafting, Yeah, as something 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.440 in the air, Yeah, well exactly, that's the thing. Never 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.800 go well, this is a weird thing isn't it. I 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.200 think Tim, just given his age, there's going to be 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.920 a replacement happening at some point. I'm thinking it was 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:36.480 going to be the end of the summer. Yeah it was. 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.560 It was going to be really it was going to 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.840 happen anyway. But mentioning it mid tour like he's been 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.720 getting a slap on the wrist. I don't think that 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.800 that's necessary. That's just my feeling. I reckon Tim the 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.240 sexy camel has been a great servant. Just say to him, heymte, 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.640 I think BT dubs to see your last tour, but 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.040 we'll let you go to the end of the tour 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.840 and say, okay, that's it from me. Have really loved 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.640 taking over the team in this interim period, but it's 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.320 time for Tom to lead. It would have been a 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.320 classier way to do it. Yeah, is it? And look 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:08.960 it's Tom. 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.560 Latham is not exactly firing on all cylinders either. He 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.200 hasn't scored a century in quite a few seasons. He's 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.920 adding only averaging just under thirty five. 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.640 He's one of those matters that's getting to the fifth 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.520 or sixth innings and then suddenly totally redeems himself and 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.560 so he's due for one and he's going to go 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:26.400 and play India. 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.960 So and the press release came out this morning. Gary 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.360 Stead was obviously the pr person, wrote all his quotes 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.920 for him, which I'll read them out to you. And 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:39.720 you know, we play Cliche assistant coach Cliche Bingo in 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.000 all black games in Super Rugby at halftime. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:42.679 This is good. 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.880 This is this one. You'll be dinging all the way through, 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.120 so Gary said said, Tim's a fantastic player and a 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:52.439 very good leader who is held in high regard by 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.400 the teams, by the players and support stuff. Yeah, is 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.079 this a good one? This is one. He's been a 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:01.240 great servant of New Zealand cricket over nearly seventeen years 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.559 playing on the international stage, and I'd like to acknowledge 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.520 his humility and stepping down from the role as team captain. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.720 It's not easy giving up on something you love, but 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.000 Tim is a true team man and he's made the 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.760 decision with the team's best interest at heart. He's one 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.520 of our greatest ever players and we'll still very much 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.400 see him playing a part in our test side moving forward. 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:22.040 Do you reckon he's going to drop him for the 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.880 next test for Matt Henry. 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:29.400 Yeah, well maybe that's what what he's setting him up for, 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.800 because maybe that's why it has to be done, because 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:38.760 dropping your captain on tour feels unprecedented, right, That's probably 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.120 why bats is even though they say, oh it's better 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.120 to have a batter as captain, there's no real reason 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.160 apart from it's just tradition. 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:51.600 Yeah, I guess it's also quite difficult as a bowling captain. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.839 It's always quite hard to bring yourself on and take 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:56.800 yourself off, you know what I mean, that's always a 0:09:56.800 --> 0:10:00.079 harder decision. I think that's why traditionally it's usually being. 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.600 I know that's a reason, but I mean if your 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:08.600 best tactician is a bowler, then there should be no Yeah, 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:12.280 it doesn't actually matter. That's why I was like, okay, yeah, 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.560 it's tough because I think on those Indian tours we've 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:18.080 had one seeman in some games, right yeah, and a 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:22.280 part timer maybe a Darryl a Daryl Mitchell. Yeah, maybe 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.040 that's why they had to do it mid tour. It 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.840 just feels like even the Wagner retirement was a bit 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:29.559 muddy as well. 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.240 Even the Gapta one was muddy as well. Everyone, it 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.400 seems the only one that went to plan was Ross Taylor. 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:40.120 Yeah, everyone else have sucked up. Yeah, exactly. Ross had 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.280 a sort of procession. He knew when he when he 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.600 was bowing out. They had a really nice day, wasn't 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.120 it with the family on the field and it was 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:48.520 a beautiful thing and. 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:49.280 His mum came out. 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.360 Yeah, it was so lovely. That was That was actually 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.560 quite a really sort of moving moment, wasn't it. Yeah. 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.679 The other ones I think have just gone a bit right. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.800 But saying that Tom Laysam has taken over the captaincy 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.600 and heading to India for three test matches in Bangalore, 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:10.640 Pune and wan Keedy Stadium, So he's up against it's 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.679 its name. I know that the the local commentators called 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.600 it wang Keedy, but all of the Western commentators are 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.600 too scared to say whan Kety, so they say Wahiti. 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.760 They kind of lose the k and they go Wahiti 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:22.480 and they say. 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:22.960 It's wan ketty. 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.679 You hear the every other Indian commentator calls it wan 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.440 key Exactly. 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.160 When you're in wang Kety, you go with the wang Kety. 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.240 That's what I mean. I can't see a problem with 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.800 saying wang key, what's the word? Funck is the man? 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.199 Yeah, And there was a great piece of footage of 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.520 the day of Peter Crouch and I think. 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:40.960 It was we said country every day. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:46.680 Yeah, we do all the time, Rio Ferdinand and it 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:51.000 was Peter Crouch. They were hosting a game from Wangdorf Stadium. 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.560 Oh yeah boys, you boys, And I think it was 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.960 a Europa League game or something, and there was a 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:00.280 female BBC one host with it. She goes, right, yeah, 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.760 welcome to Okay, let's get this off your chest. Okay, 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.120 we're going to do it once and then we're going 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.240 to move on. She goes welcome to Wankedorf Stadium and 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:11.120 food and then in the beta gratch ye They're like okay, 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:11.520 that's it. 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:12.040 Let's move on. 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.880 It was a great, great way to approach that. But 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.640 there's going to be more breakdown of this with Dylan Cleaver, 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.840 Paul Ford, Oh, Jason Hoyt heavy Yeah. Clever is going 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.880 to listen to that the BYC podcast, which will be 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.720 out this afternoon. Other cricket news. We'll take a quick 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.160 break and I come back with a shocking statistic from 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:38.000 Australian cricket around Pat Cummins and Mitchell Stark. James McCarney, 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:42.120 did you know that Pat Cummins and Mitchell Stark so 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:46.320 in the IPL with their auction prices last year they 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:52.240 each earned more money bowling two balls playing franchise cricket 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:56.360 then for five days of Test cricket and the beggy 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.280 green two balls. 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.360 Really yeah, who's this? 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.920 So their franchise cricket, Pat Commings and Mitchell Stark, Oh 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.760 my god, So all their franchise contracts put together, they 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:11.720 made more money bowling two balls than five days of 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:13.400 hard graft and baggy ground. 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.000 So they did bowl more than two balls. Yeah, but 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.000 just those two balls are worth more. 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.319 Yeah, that shows that shows the power of that short 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:22.720 form game. 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:23.360 That's incredible. 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.240 Way more than they boil two balls, they get the 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:25.920 same amount of money. 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.760 Else. The weird thing about T twenty International cricket and 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:30.720 let's someone get lost in the weeds on this g lane. 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:34.320 But that's the format that all the smaller nations have 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.400 to play, Like if you're a minno nation like some 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:41.400 more one that qualification tournament in the Pacific recently it's 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.960 a T twenty tournament. Yeah, so there's no way they're 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.640 not even allowed to play fifty over one days. So 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:51.240 if you are a great test bowler from some more 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.320 or Papua New Guinea stiff shit, you're playing T twenty 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.920 and that is it. Yeah, because there's no test for you. 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.520 So the ic C, I think there's twelve nations are 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.360 they that are allowed to play tests? Ten or twelve whatever? 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.679 Afghanistan is the latest one to be to be able 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:13.840 to play Ireland. I don't know anyone yet anyway. Everyone 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.640 else no, no dice. Whereas I sort of think there 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.800 needs to be a pathway for the minnows to say, 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.920 if you're the best test nation of the minnows, it 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.200 comes through and you've got a reasonable team. Why not 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:29.360 because I think some more with DNA's son bowling and 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.880 is it Solu who plays for Auckland, he's in there 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:36.080 as well. I'm like batting, So yeah, you can have 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:37.000 a good test team there. 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.040 I think the issue with that is five days of 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.600 test cricket. Most of these most of these players are 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.880 amateur professional. You can't take five days off work to 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:45.880 go and play test match. 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.720 Yeah, I know there's no way, there's no way they can. Yeah, 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:53.360 that will just blow the budget. But anyway, Yeah, I 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.760 should say Solomon Nasha, I shouldn't just call them Dion 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:57.360 Nasha's son soul. Yeah yeah. 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.560 I saw him play actually in the November five Day 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.600 Test match up and Cod and Oval, oh right last year, 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.760 and he tore them apart. And he bowls so much 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:06.720 like Dion Nash. 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:08.520 Yeah, like the tight little kind of. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.040 Way drifts off the wicket and everything good better too. 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.120 Combat combat. So was that this Seddon park Leads having 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:15.920 to face up to him? 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.520 He was playing for the November eleven I think I 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.680 think they might have maybe they might have recruited. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.440 Boys to go. Yeah, I think this is going to 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:24.800 be fun. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.040 Siden Crackit Club versus November. That's happening again actually in 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:32.000 November and been played at Saint Paul's and we're playing 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.400 a T twenty match against the Chiefs. So you're gonna 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.960 have to come down and oh, well you're going to 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:38.960 can't umpire. You're going to have to play for us. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:40.560 It's the A C C versus the Chiefs. 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.080 You know what happens whenever I played for you or 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.280 blow a car. I think it's just us. 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:49.400 I think you'll blow a cap umpiring cultively yeah, well that's. 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.240 Going to be that. Where what's the date? That one 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:52.000 is a Friday? 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:56.600 I think it's Friday, the maybe twenty first of Okay, yeah, okay, 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.400 I let you know about that. But the five day 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.400 Test match is happening St. Paul's Collegiate November versus. 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:03.680 It only lasts three days. 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.440 It's a bunch of old battlers and they basically they'd 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.000 like to think they could play five days, but it 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:12.240 never goes five days. Yeah. Hey, some rugby news Jays mcconey. 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:17.800 Justin Bieber James o'cons O'Connor is rumored to be in 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.800 talks with the Crusaders to fill their first five role, 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:27.240 given that last year the Crusaders had five, they chose 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.360 five verst five. 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:28.960 Eights throughout the season. 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:33.880 Rivers Rayhanna, Taha Kimata, David Hevili, Riley Hohepper and Fergus 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.880 Burke all played first five and now they've approached the 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.880 thirty four year old Justin Bieber. 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.320 Well, one thing I would say is I like all 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.720 those first fives. They tried those options. Obviously, Fergus Burk 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.640 being the one that got away is with Saracens. Now 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.560 I do notice that there's no Tasmund names in that list. 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.000 I mean, you are the Crusaders region. What's wrong with 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:57.680 the guys who when you won the ra and Philly 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.320 Shield the other day one of the first fives there's 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:01.640 fifty five meter goal to. 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.320 Win it, will is will he Heavily the first five will. 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:07.520 He Heavily has won. Well, he's with but there isn't 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.119 There are a couple that play in that squad who 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.159 are pretty good, including the guy who came on and 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.919 kicked that winning goal. So all I'm saying is like 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.440 the lack of Tasman first fives, let's not count David 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.680 Havilly because he's only just filled in there once. I think, 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.760 yeah or twice is a little bit glaring for me. 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:29.320 If you are a true regional team, what's what's wrong 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:30.920 with you? Tazzy boys? Are we are? 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.000 We are Super Rugby's truly regional teams. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.080 Though well they get them from anywhere, right, But I 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.359 just think that you know that they've played to a 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:43.080 high level. Tasman have won the NPC recently, they've won 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.280 the Shield. I don't think they've ever finished lower than 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.920 the six of bloody Good. There must be some first 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.120 fives coming out of Nelson College. Surely he's a good 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.000 one with a mullet coming out right now, but he's 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:56.080 probably too young. The thing is, I think people overthink 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.000 first five. Can I go into a little bit of 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:04.600 a first five rant? I just look at that, Yes, Ken, okay, Yeah, 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.280 it is a tough position, but it's actually probably if 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.199 you've got the skills, it's probably one of the easier 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:10.040 positions to play. 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:11.560 It's just as a former first five. 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.199 Yeah, because you get the kick, you get the pass 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.400 not under that much pressure either. You and you've got 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.320 forward pods there looking after you there giving you the 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.520 ball sort of a back ball right now, so you 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.119 get you start your back line further away from the defense. 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.639 It's like, I think it's a pretty cool position. And 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:31.920 if you've got a fullback of kicks or a second 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.359 five of you kicks, they take all that pressure off you. 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:38.200 If you've got a a halfback who loves to kick box, 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:40.840 then that's another percentage of your kick. So even your 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:43.800 exit plays an't your problem half the time. I'm like, going, 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:47.280 so you just want someone who talks a lot and passes, 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.040 I mean, come on, then then you're looking for the 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.840 personality that you need one thing. The other day on 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:56.640 the breakdown, Isaac Boss said, Cam Royguard he coached them 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.960 as a junior with the Waikatur Schools teams or whatever. 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.160 He said he was a really good first five as well, 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.680 even though he plays halfback. And I thought that's actually 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:10.480 quite interesting because what happens if Cortez and Noah Hotham 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:12.159 as good as what we think they're going to be 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.640 and you got three halfbacks. I mean, why doesn't Cam 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:17.720 quite a big unit? 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:19.960 A big unit. I sat next to him on the plane. 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:23.679 Yeah, he's not small. Why isn't Cam shuffle out to 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.480 first five and give another option? Anyway, this is just 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:27.600
