1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: The Friday Sports Huddle with New Zealand Subberby's International Realty, 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: a name you can trust locally and globally. 3 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 2: I know something that I can't share obviously with you guys, 4 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 2: but probably most like most of the people know, is it? 5 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: Actually I'm a similar understanding with you guys. I don't 6 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 2: know what's gonna happen, so yeah, let's see. 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 3: But it's starting to move to India dominating everything because 8 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 3: they can afford to buy into it and purchase teams 9 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 3: as opposed to players. It's always great to be able 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 3: to see the English having to take a few good 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 3: looks at themselves in the mirrors at the moment after 12 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 3: getting flogged in two days. 13 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 4: Right on the sports tititle, that's this evening, we have 14 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 4: Niki Styra, sports journalist and Darcy water Grave sports talk host. 15 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 4: How are you too? 16 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 3: Hello? Are you one? Good? 17 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: Ay? 18 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 4: It is so lame Niki every time, very lame. Yea 19 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 4: dad jokes all day. 20 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: I'm a dad. 21 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 4: No, that's yeah, that's that's fine. Hey, what's going on 22 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 4: at New Zealand cricket? Darcy? 23 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 3: What's going on? Yeah, no one knows. It's chaos from 24 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 3: the looks of it. There's a lot of very unhappy 25 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 3: provincial people who don't believe that Scott weeningk who is 26 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 3: the CEO currently quite has a handle on what's going on. 27 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 3: It doesn't want to run too fast at something new 28 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 3: and fangle in the T twenty space. On the defensive 29 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 3: side of Scott ween Ink, I'm reasonably interested in someone 30 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 3: who chooses caution over throwing everything at a new event 31 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 3: straight away. I think that is the CEO of a 32 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 3: major organization like cricket. Part and parcel of your job 33 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 3: is to show caution, maybe slightly too much. But we've 34 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 3: seen other organizations climb into things like sill Elate, for example, 35 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 3: And I don't know if that's particularly. 36 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 4: Getting into it, but it sounds like he's on his 37 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 4: own here, Darcy. Is he going to lose his job 38 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 4: over this? So they try to get rid of him. 39 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 3: This room was around a week ago two we thought 40 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 3: in the last AGM this information out that he's been dropkicked. 41 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: Have you even got the support of all your organizations? 42 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: It's very very hard to keep on going now, don't 43 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 3: We're not on the weeds of this. We don't know 44 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: what the detail are because everyone's being very tight lipped 45 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 3: around who said what and where and why? But I 46 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 3: still look to a CEO, everyone's got to just take 47 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: a breath, and I'm sure the best interests of cricket 48 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 3: are with him and he doesn't want to jump into 49 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 3: something it might be long term costly for the country. 50 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 4: So what it is, Nikki, is that everybody else is 51 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 4: loving the idea of this TEA twenty which seems to 52 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 4: be backed by Indian money are being set up here 53 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 4: in New Zealand in January, and he's not keen on it. 54 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 4: So where do youse it on it? Do you like 55 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 4: the idea of the T twenty setting up in New Zealand? 56 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 4: Would you prefer to have teams out us trying to 57 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 4: get our teams into the Big Bash in Australia. 58 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 5: I actually have quite a strong view on the seat. 59 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 5: There's a surprise Heather. Basically, look, look, I can understand 60 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 5: Scott wen and being a little bit concerned because the 61 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 5: setup of this league technically, you know, it's threatening New 62 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 5: Zealand Crickets control of the game in this country. Okay, 63 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 5: so New Zealand Cricket would have no say in how 64 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 5: it is run and they would to guard against that 65 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 5: and I guess you know that is fair enough, but 66 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 5: let's just take a little closer look at it. I mean, 67 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 5: if we went with this n Z twenty league, first 68 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 5: of all, it would keep a lot of the top 69 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 5: players here to ply their T twenty trade where currently 70 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 5: they are all running off shore and earning a lot 71 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 5: of money and we haven't even seen King Williamson this year. 72 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 5: Foreign ownership brings in money, it brings an investment, it 73 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 5: brings in professionalism. It would also help the development and 74 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 5: funding of the next wave of New Zealand players with 75 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 5: that level of you know, professionalism in the country. Here's 76 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 5: probably the reason why that the major unions like it 77 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 5: because twenty five percent of the league ownership would go 78 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 5: to the major cricket unions. Now that's that's huge. It 79 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 5: means that New Zealand cricket don't have to fund it. 80 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 5: They can then spend their money on other areas of development. 81 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 5: So you know, it's been trialed in the West Indies, 82 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 5: it's been trialed in South Africa, and we're not just 83 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 5: trial but just going ahead. And actually it's taken the 84 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 5: control away from the governing body and immediately they've turned 85 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 5: a profit. So I guess it's a sort of a 86 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 5: double edged sword here. You know, you are taking on 87 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 5: something that could help your organization, but also you are 88 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 5: relinquishing a degree of control. 89 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 3: It's a financial sugar effects, isn't it. And that's what 90 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 3: we're going to be worried about, Nikki. So when you 91 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: look at whether leenex right or wrong, I think just 92 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 3: easy now and playing caution because you look at the 93 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 3: New Zealand rugby and they're like, we want so well 94 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 3: because we get a whole lot of money and what 95 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 3: do they do with it? They blew it all and 96 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 3: there's nothing left. So there's that so black. 97 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 5: That's not not you know, your whole domestic competition. I 98 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 5: think the other thing to look at is the alternative, 99 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 5: and the alternative is that New Zealand. But you know 100 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 5: enter a team into the Big Bash. Well that's only 101 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 5: a good idea when you don't have a strong domestic competition. 102 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 5: When the Warriors and the Phoenix and the Breakers all 103 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,119 Speaker 5: went in the old competition, they didn't have a strong 104 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 5: domestic competition. 105 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 4: Do we use increase that competition, know Nikki who watches it, 106 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 4: Yes we do. 107 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 5: But this technically, if we started this league, sorry if 108 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 5: we went into the Big Bash, it would absolutely ruin 109 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 5: it because all the best players would then want to 110 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 5: play in the Big Bash and the local comp would 111 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 5: get diluted. So that's not the answer either, unless say 112 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 5: you could have say three New Zealand teams in a 113 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 5: Big Bash, but Australia would never go. 114 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 4: I mean, is it not possible, actually, Darcy, that you 115 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 4: have to pick the lesser of the evils and there 116 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 4: are three evils and actually carrying on the way we 117 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 4: are with it, the status quote is not working either. 118 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: And just going back to you said four, Niki, was 119 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 3: the provincial unions over the All Blacks that wanted more 120 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 3: money and control and it's kind of similar to what 121 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 3: happens with these provincial teams. 122 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 2: Bit Ah. 123 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 3: I think that what we've seen in New Zealand has 124 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: send in Zealand cricket of recent times is the preparedness 125 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 3: of players to get straight into international cricket even though 126 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 3: they've had a diet of provincial cricket and they've had 127 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 3: this the Super Smash that they've been involved in, and 128 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 3: it's actually worked out quite well, Nikki, because we've got 129 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 3: a lot of these players who are now they're getting 130 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: packed older in their career, later in their career, twenty six, 131 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 3: twenty seven. They know their game, they know what they 132 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 3: can do, and it's almost seamless. And I think that 133 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 3: helps when you've got a structure like we've got right, 134 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: listen to Superman. 135 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 4: You mean sorry, Darcy, there was a question for you. 136 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: You mean, yeah, they're Super Smash. Yeah. 137 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 5: I think the only problem with that, Dars is that 138 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 5: when Sky get the rights back to the cricket not 139 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 5: this season, but next season, they are not televising the 140 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 5: Super Smash. Yeah, so that's not good. Well, there you go. 141 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 3: Who watches were setting their cheap seats and fire hot 142 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: takes of people. We don't have to make these decisions. 143 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 4: All right, we'll take a break, thankfully, we'll take a break. 144 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 4: Coming back very shortly of the sports huddles. 145 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: The Friday Sports Huddle with New Zealand South of E's 146 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: International Realty, the only truly global brand back. 147 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 4: On the sports had on Nikistyrus Darcy water Grave. Nikki, 148 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 4: do you think the International Judo Federation is doing the 149 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 4: right thing letting the Russians back in with their flag 150 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 4: and their anthem and volshebang? 151 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 3: Yeah? 152 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 5: Look, look I do call me simplistic, but I still 153 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 5: feel that sport needs to remain neutral, independent and free 154 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 5: from political influence. And it just really saddens me when 155 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 5: I see it infiltrate the likes of the Olympics. Now, 156 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 5: you know, I know that this is just one thing, 157 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 5: but taking the flag away has sort of maybe accomplished 158 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 5: a few things, depending on which lends you looking through. 159 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 5: I guess it's sent a political signal and you know 160 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 5: it has mattered in that regard, but really a tool 161 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 5: to change the way that the Kremlin actually do their policy, 162 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 5: I would suggest it's been largely symbolic. And you know, 163 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 5: the other thing that really doesn't sit well with me 164 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 5: is why is the Ukraine Russia conflict any different to 165 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 5: the Israel Palestine conflict with regards to if you want 166 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 5: to infiltrate sport, why you're not imposing the same sanctions? 167 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 5: And then who would you and pose as would you 168 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 5: pos them on Palestine? 169 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: Mean? 170 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 5: What a mess? Just stay out of it. 171 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 4: I love that rule. I love that rule. Does he 172 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 4: have said it to you so many times? Politics? Sports 173 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 4: needs to stay out of politics. 174 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 3: It can't happen. Well, it doesn't happen, and totally you 175 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 3: look at it. Sport and politicians and twined they always 176 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 3: have been no as will be. I think it's a 177 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 3: very simplistic concept to say stay out, you can't do it. 178 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: And in a perfect world, I get it. I'll be 179 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 3: all over there. You know what I think about politics. 180 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 3: So that's why I don't do your show. I love it, 181 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 3: but unfortunately it is and these power games are played, 182 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 3: and I look at Juda and I look back at 183 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 3: that and a relationship between international Judo and Putin and 184 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 3: what happens there, And I'm thinking, okay, are we going 185 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 3: to follow the money trail? What's actually happening here? Why 186 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 3: has he made that decision? I don't think it came 187 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 3: from nowhere. It's an interesting. 188 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 4: Judo I think he does, Yeah. 189 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 3: He does. 190 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 4: He loves to know, I think so Nikky. He gets 191 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 4: gets us top off and then he wrestles me in. 192 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 3: And then he gets on a horse, and yeah, for 193 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 3: insessial judo, it's an interesting hill to die on. It's 194 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 3: one not I wouldn't choose. But look, it's their federation. 195 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: They can do what they will. I wonder what pushback 196 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 3: they'll get from this at all level where maybe Ukraine 197 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 3: fighters go well, you know what, I'm not fighting him, 198 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: and then it really. 199 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 4: Starts, well, what you want to do is fight this 200 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 4: is for the for the crimea bang. Listen, do you 201 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 4: have any theory for me saying as you're coming in 202 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 4: hot Nikki today on why it is that the F 203 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 4: one is dragging out the Liam Lawson confirmation that we 204 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 4: all know is going to happen. They make it this 205 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 4: so weird about this look. 206 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 5: I think they're just trying to concentrate on the Constructors' Championship. 207 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 5: Maybe they haven't made up their minds. Well, I know 208 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 5: to me, to me, it's obvious he's fighting for that 209 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 5: one seat and the Racing Bulls team. You know it's him. 210 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 5: It's a more Son oda and you know, I guess 211 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 5: on record you have to say that sort of Liam 212 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 5: holds a trump card but not taking anything for grant 213 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 5: and most word is not my area of expertise, but 214 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,719 Speaker 5: even I get a feeling that he's going to have 215 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 5: a seat next year, whether it's with Racing Balls or 216 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,599 Speaker 5: potentially another middle order team like Pass or Williams for 217 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 5: something like that. 218 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 4: I feel like, yeah, do you think does do you 219 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 4: think that the English are going to sort themselves? 220 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 3: Out. 221 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 4: Are they going to still suck at the ashes? 222 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: Highly likely. I'm going to Glenn mcgra it's going to 223 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 3: be five nil. You reckon awful what they're doing and 224 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 3: what they've done. But in saying that, the Australians are 225 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 3: not without blame. If you look at that, just to 226 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 3: Treador's head innings, he could have been out on a 227 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 3: number of occasions. He was just as reckless and irresponsible 228 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 3: as the Middle Order of England. So when you've got 229 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 3: essentially what was it, it was a series of T 230 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 3: twenties masquerading as a Test match. You think that's going 231 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 3: to change Come next Thursday's when it's a peak ball 232 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 3: Test and Brisbane it's going to be even more scandalous 233 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 3: or out ragees. 234 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 5: Look, Bears has stuck between a rock and a hard 235 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 5: place here. You can't fa'tsial strategy and you know he's 236 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 5: gone on record to say that that that's how they're 237 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 5: going to play, and you've got to trust the process. 238 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 5: Then you can't just suddenly go oh we've had one 239 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 5: loss and now we're going to change tech completely because 240 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 5: it undermines your your authority and your leadership. So he 241 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 5: kind of has to stick with it, and Stokes is 242 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 5: a big fan of that type of play too, But 243 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 5: you're damn right Brisbane under the lights with a pink 244 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 5: ball and a bouncy pitch, it's going to make great 245 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 5: viewing anyway. 246 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 3: He's the cricket in God's punishing all those New Zealanders 247 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 3: for going to play for England. 248 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 4: How did did you read that passport you read? Did 249 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 4: you read the article about Jeff Lawson and witnessing David 250 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 4: Boone sink fifty two tennees on the flight before the Ashes. 251 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 3: I had a cricket team in christ and we used 252 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 3: to wear beige. That was way back in the day. 253 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 3: I had them designed for us and we were called 254 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 3: Team Boone to celebrate Boone and cry for dedication was 255 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 3: fifty two boys, fifty two boys, let's get in there. 256 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 3: So I love that that story coming back and. 257 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 4: Producer and Snicky is lamenting the fact that we don't 258 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 4: get behind the scenes yarns like this anymore, and I 259 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 4: feel it as a passage, isn't it. 260 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 5: Oh look, yeah, there's some goodies. But the problem with 261 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 5: these days is that you've got social media everywhere, and 262 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 5: you know people like him would have been video doing it, 263 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 5: it would have been a catastrophe. I'm sure there's still 264 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 5: elements of it's still happening. But also we live in 265 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 5: a much more professional sports environment, a little more tempered. 266 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 3: Just a word on McCallum. There's a good story from 267 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 3: early days and he's really young. It's like a teenager 268 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 3: and he came in and he played cracke at a 269 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 3: top level and he went out just trying to flog 270 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 3: the ball all over the boundary and trying to smash 271 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 3: it there and there, and they're like, bro, you're gonna 272 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 3: just like you know, calm down all the older guys 273 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 3: and goes, this is how I play, and I'm not 274 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 3: going to stop. 275 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 4: And look and he walked off the picture. 276 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 3: And so he's true to form. 277 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 4: YEP, at least he at least he's authentic.
