00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: Great, have you, good morning, It's good to be here.

6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: Now now you can add a published author to your

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: listen of achievements.

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: Right, well, published author.

9
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 3: I don't know, but we've got our ten year Almanac.

10
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 3: Ten years ago the a SEC started in a caravan,

11
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 3: a borrowed caravan at McLean Park, broadcasting on iHeartRadio for

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 3: the very first time.

13
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: And we're still here ten years later.

14
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 4: Is that ten years here? Well?

15
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 5: And so the almanac, this is a collection of all

16
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 5: the footage and photos that you have.

17
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 3: Some stories, some stories, it's the origin story of it.

18
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 3: There's also a lot of oral history in there. So

19
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: basically everyone got interviewed from the original seven with the

20
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 3: around the several incidents that happened from being thrown out

21
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 3: of the World Cup to all sorts of other things

22
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: that happened, landing in a helicopter and a ground unauthorized,

23
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 3: and basically it's everyone's different version of those stories as well.

24
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 3: So the oral history is quite amusing because how Lee

25
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 3: Heart remembers those stories is wildly different from what Jeremy

26
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: Wells remembers to what Jason Hoyt, who doesn't actually remember anything.

27
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of oral history around there. There's

28
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: also touches on all the sporting moments in the last

29
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: ten years he's been you know, a couple of Rugby

30
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 3: World Cups, couple of Cricket World Cup.

31
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 5: How did you get kicked out of the Not to

32
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 5: spoiler alert, but how did you get kicked out of

33
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 5: the Cricket World Cup.

34
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: Well, we got accused of stealing a drinks trolley and

35
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 3: driving it at the Gatorade drinks trolley, driving it on

36
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: the field during a game, and interviewing players unauthorized during

37
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: a game.

38
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 6: Yes, well there's accused, but accused.

39
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: There was elements of truth.

40
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 7: Did you die?

41
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: Leehart was on the drinks trolley and the interview, and

42
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: he did go on the field and he did have

43
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: a conversation with a couple of players.

44
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 5: But.

45
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: We got the end of it.

46
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: The story got so wild by the end of that game.

47
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: And this was the two thousand and I think eleven

48
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: World Cup. It got so wild by the end of

49
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: it that were got accused of match fixing and talking

50
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: to the players about what doing and it was got

51
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: it went crazy podcast. It spiraled out of control and

52
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 3: we couldn't control it. And in the end everyone panicked

53
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: and they threw us out, even the parent company it

54
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: looks after us, they panicked as well because they thought

55
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: they were going to get their rights pulled. And we

56
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: just got booted to the cub game like at the

57
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: end of the game, and you explain it.

58
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 6: It's it's it's all in the book.

59
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: It's all in the book.

60
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: It's a great conversation I have, which was the head

61
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: of radio at the time, who rang me at after

62
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: the game. I had thousands of misscalls on my phone,

63
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: you know when sony miss calls, you just lost track

64
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: of him.

65
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: And I rang him back and his first words.

66
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: Were, please tell me you you didn't do it. And

67
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: I went, oh, we did some pretty terrible stuff today.

68
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: You know, we had all sorts of stupid you know,

69
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: I guess the commentator's paranem and terrible stuff. And I

70
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 3: said and I said that, and he goes what And

71
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: I went, oh, was it this?

72
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: And he goes no, I said, well, what was it then?

73
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: Because they are the two worst things we did today,

74
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: and he goes, you stole a drinks troll, you drove

75
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: it on the field. Interview players iced see have thrown

76
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: you out.

77
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: We're a big trouble by. But I went, oh, okay,

78
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: we did do that. We didn't do that anyway.

79
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: It was probably the making of us, actually, because the

80
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 3: next week we broadcasted again. We just went loud on

81
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: the ground, but we did it from the caravan circling

82
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: the ground and had three times the audience. Then after

83
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: that it was ten times the audience, so people got

84
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: to know what we were doing.

85
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: It must be really stoked with how it's so taken

86
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: off from, you know, a humble beginnings and now you

87
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: know you've got you're doing a sky Sport you know.

88
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 6: Gave it to Halves reboot, you got a book out.

89
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 6: It's pretty cool.

90
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: You're commentating games on sky Sport and all over the place.

91
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: It's good.

92
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: I mean, it's good that we've got there as an

93
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: option because I think we a lot of people take

94
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: sport too seriously, because sport ed ins essence is entertainment.

95
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: You should be entertained by sport. And I think there

96
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: was a while there where sport was taken far too seriously.

97
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: And I'm looking at rugby here, and you weren't allowed

98
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: to have fun at the games.

99
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: You were allowed to have fun with the game. You

100
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: weren't allowed to, you know, have a laugh or take

101
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: the pass anything like that. It was all very serious.

102
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: So I think this is it's been quite refreshing to

103
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: do this. I think there is people who enjoy sport

104
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: as entertainment. We always say that we are entertainment at

105
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: the expense of editorial integrity. So we're never going to

106
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: be on the Herald, We're never going to be on

107
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: TVNZ one. Apart from the BlackFlash, we're never going to

108
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: be that mainstream. Were always the alternative names and the title,

109
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: you know, and it's an alternative to the mainstream, and

110
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: we have a bit of fun, we laugh.

111
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not everyone's cup of tea.

112
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 5: Well, speaking of speaking of, we've had some complaints come through,

113
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 5: not to this show, but news talks.

114
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 4: Here be Jason pine the Sports here we go mac Hell.

115
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, they Piney. I'd like to talk about the Sky

116
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 8: TV commentary last night. I thought it was an absolute

117
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 8: bloody disgrace and there are three clowns on there were

118
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 8: embarrassment through everybody.

119
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 6: Embarrassment to everybody. That's fair. I think it's a fair call.

120
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: That's a fair call.

121
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: I mean, why wouldn't you be Mac, God bless Mac.

122
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: A lot of people stumble across us, right, Yeah. However,

123
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: there is a group of people, and these are great

124
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: New Zealanders who stitch up their parents and grandparents and

125
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: come over and change their skybox so when they turn on,

126
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: it automately goes to Our commentary is normally around that,

127
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: normally on Skysport.

128
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: Nine, which is eight channels away from Skysport one.

129
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 5: As far removed the original bookcart.

130
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 3: Correct, but this particular one Mac, this was an all

131
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 3: black game, or it may have been the Super Rupy Final,

132
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: I can't remember. But the at the time the Olympics

133
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: were on, so the Olympics took up all the other channels,

134
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,119
Speaker 3: so we were on sky Sports Select, which is actually

135
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: before Skysport one.

136
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: So Mac obviously just been to one channel. But God

137
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: bless him, he listened to the whole He stayed with it.

138
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 2: We get some great complaints hate watching it.

139
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 4: Yes, it's just the ideal audience.

140
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: It totally is.

141
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 3: And some of the text messages we get hilarious of

142
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: people who go to their parents' house or grandparents and

143
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: watch the rugby with them and put our commentary on

144
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 3: and then they just video the grandparents going, that's pretty funny.

145
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: The Alternate College and collect of the Almanac is out now.

146
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 6: First time makes you to look at it.

147
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 7: You found yourself straight away.

148
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was maybe be a little locked through, and

149
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, there's a little blurb about each

150
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: each person as well, which I hadn't sanctioned.

151
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 6: But that's all right.

152
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: To be clear, no one said anything. If anyone was

153
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 2: going to sanction it, it wouldn't have because.

154
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: Someone else at the building that wrote a book the

155
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: other day there to get suffering past lawyers and all sorts.

156
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: One person who's not happy Jason point, all right.

157
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 6: Well it's so bad.

158
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 4: That's this.

159
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 6: He's been boys the creative pulp sport.

Speaker 8: Yeah?

198
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: A sporting Well yeah, I guess it is only an

199
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 3: associated with sport. You have a sports almanac, a history

200
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: of yeah.

201
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,640

Speaker 1: out now, and there's also another book that focuses heavily

203
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: on cricket as well as well. Now this is called

204
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: all Out, and I'm going to say who it's from.

205
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: It's from a black Cap, now, Megan, and next week

206
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: you're going to be interviewing this black Cap.

207
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 6: So this is your research right now.

208
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: If Mike Key, you can pass it across to Now

209
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: we thought you'd taken moment because it's surprising you. You've

210
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: got to interview this person in the studio, former black Cap.

211
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: But you can ask Mike any cricket questions now to

212
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: get his knowledge.

213
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: Good looking is he.

214
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 9: He's yeah, he's very good looking. So he doesn't play anymore.

215
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: Well done, he doesn't play for the black Caps anymore,

216
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 3: but he's actually still playing cricket.

217
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 6: First thing, how would you pronounce his name Neil Wagner.

218
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: I don't know about it. Is it Wagner or is

219
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: it I don't know. We call him Neil Wagner, and

220
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's correct.

221
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 9: Am I going to look like a dick if he

222
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 9: comes in and I'm like, good morning, Neil Wagner.

223
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 7: You're laughing.

224
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 2: Don't call him.

225
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: He's generally known as Wagner. But there is a it

226
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: is contentious of Wagner.

227
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: But you're right. He doesn't play anymore for the black Cats.

228
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 9: So did he have a nickname when he was playing,

229
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 9: like Wags Waggles?

230
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, weggs now at first?

231
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,599
Speaker 3: I mean, cricketers aren't overly creative with nicknames.

232
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: Sticking on the end short it's one.

233
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 5: Of your guys calling cards? Is the great nicknames you

234
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 5: make for players? Did Wags have an acc nickname?

235
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: And it was Wagner? And he's got a very double

236
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 3: O seven look about him.

237
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: Is so he'd make a great James Bond.

238
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: He's he's quite aggressive on the field, nicest guy you'll

239
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: ever meet when you meet him.

240
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: Quite relatively short and stature.

241
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: Hintsy was quite a difficult bowler to face because he

242
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 3: was quite short, but he banging into the pitch, but

243
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: on the field very passionate, and some would say he

244
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 3: almost had a few anger issues. But I've always o

245
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 3: reckon a good line of questioning me to go down

246
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 3: that does that translate into any other part of.

247
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: Your life on the golf course in the kitchen?

248
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 9: So I'm going to bring up that he's reasonably short,

249
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 9: has got anger issues.

250
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, are you German?

251
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 6: Those are the three leaders from South Africa? Right?

252
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

253
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, He's originally said now lives in paper Moore. He's

00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 3: got a young family and Pa lives out there. He's

255
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 3: got living the life out there at the Mount.

256
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 4: Any technical questions?

257
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, but how long.

258
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 7: Did he play for?

259
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: Oh and about probably up to ten twelve years?

260
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 5: Wow?

261
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 2: Okay, but he the match?

262
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, like he didn't really play a lot of white

263
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: ball cricket there more what they do different like a

264
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: one day?

265
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, one day?

266
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: Well red ball specials, so what white balls? What they

267
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: used for one day is and t twenties but red ball?

268
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 2: Question? What color balls do you prefer?

269
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 6: Yeah a good question, great question, great great question.

270
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: Another one, do you prefer grass on the wicket or not? Okay,

271
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: another way yeah.

272
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, when playing cricket, win playing cricket because more grass,

273
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 3: the more see movement you get.

274
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 6: He likes to bang it into the workt too.

275
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 7: So he was a bowler whereabouts in the batting order?

276
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: Was he very much?

277
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 7: Because the back is not good a ei.

278
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: The last if Trent Bolt was playing. So he actually

279
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: wasn't bad batsman.

280
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 3: You know, he actually had good technique and he's actually

281
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 3: not a bad little tail ender.

282
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: Neil Wagner, nice guy. You'll really enjoy interviewing him.

283
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 3: Okay, he's got dangerously blue eyes, piercing blue eyes.

284
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 7: You keep going on that as good l want to

285
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 7: be here.

286
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: Is there one question you know from one of your

287
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: times this putting on the spot here but obviously got

288
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: a book out and you've like commentated many great moments.

289
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 6: That he's been part of.

290
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: Near Wagner, is there one question that would really make

291
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: Megan feel like she's watched that game?

292
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 6: Particular game like a Test Championship or something.

293
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: I think the pink Ball Test and Eden Park was

294
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: a particular highlight for me when they had England on

295
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: the ropes and Neil Wagner was pretty much running in

296
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: from the boundary because it was so short, short boundaries

297
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: there and we were playing Wagner.

298
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 2: Classical artists at full volume.

299
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 3: It was one of the most virbrant moments when he

300
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 3: was steaming in the last over and he snicked one

301
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: of the English players out.

302
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: It was one of the greats.

303
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: But I'd have to say it was that if I

304
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 3: think it might have been at base in Reserve where

305
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 3: he got a wicket offers last delivery to win the

306
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: Test match, caught down league side.

307
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: It was one of the great moments.

308
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 4: So if you can say that, would that be the greatest?

309
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 9: I w off the last ball to when they were

310
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 9: caught down and he was caught down lea side.

311
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 3: Just say, does the Basin Reserve whole special memories for you?

312
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 6: Oh, that's a good one.

313
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 3: You've had a lot of magical moments. When you can

314
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: you sum up a couple of them. One of the

315
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: two most highlights is it the pinkball Test and neat

316
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: and Park.

317
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 7: Caught down leg side.

318
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: So what we're gonna do is gonna say you're We're

319
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,680
