1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: All disin's with us. Very good morning to you. Greetings Mike, 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: So I am following your coverage a fifth set. Where 3 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: are we at in the French? 4 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 2: So Alca Wrath up three one of vere when I 5 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 2: last looked, so both seeking their maiden French Open titles. 6 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,319 Speaker 2: Very seeking a maiden major title. But Alcareth fighting his 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 2: way back, so he won first. It's very fe the 8 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: second and third, but Alcareth took to fourth and looks 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: like he's in control to a certain degree. 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: Fair enough, Now this cricket taught me through a couple 11 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: of things. So one the New York pitch. How is 12 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: it that your bid to promote your sport in a 13 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: major market like America where sports going off, and then 14 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: you cock that up and then we need to get 15 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: to the bit where we can't play anymore. 16 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: It's a two part question. First of all, there'll be 17 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 2: words this morning. I suspect given that India ninety six 18 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: for seven in New York against Pakistan. Both sides have 19 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 2: to play on the same pitch, so we'll see. But 20 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: it looks like it's holding up quite a bit, given 21 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: some of the strokes from the Indian batters reached our 22 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 2: part just out for forty two and yeah, it's a struggle. 23 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 2: So that's that's the difficulty in itself if you're promoting 24 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: the game in New York looking to take it into America. Secondly, 25 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: New Zealand poor preparation for this tournament, I'm afraid. Also 26 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: it seems players coming in dribs and drabs limited. I 27 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: guess no warm up games. I think going under lights 28 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: before the match, just on the evening before it, on 29 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: the eve of the game and losing to Afghanistan. Afghanistan 30 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: are a good. 31 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: Side, Mike, so they are it's going to on the rise. 32 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: Particularly the bowling attack. Williamson's right came Whimson in outlining 33 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: their bowling attack has been outstanding. Rushing car but also 34 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 2: the new guy left pace bowl of Farookie looks looks 35 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: the business and took fives in the first match of 36 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: the tournament. But nonetheless New Zealand should be able to 37 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: beat Afghanistan all the same, So a difficult tournament the 38 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: head given the again now faced West Indies, Trinidad and Tobago. 39 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: Brian Laer Academy Western He's the hosts and that's going 40 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: to be a difficult fixture for them. To work. 41 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: Okay, well let's talk about winners then. 42 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 2: I like your segue there. 43 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a winning performance. It wasn't just a win. 44 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: It was a caning, wasn't it wasn't it? It was 45 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: a thrashing. It still was where we started scoring early 46 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: and we never stopped scoring. And it wasn't one of 47 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: those games where you thought, did you the commentators See 48 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: here's the problem with the commentators. So the commentators and 49 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: these were different commentators, but the Australian commentators have started 50 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: to show a real respect for the Warriors of late 51 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: and deservedly so. And yet these clowns who were commentating 52 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: on Saturday night. I started game, it was fifteen minutes 53 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: ago and if the Cowboys, you know that, they have 54 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: five more sets, and if they score on each of 55 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: these five sets, will be back in the game. And 56 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: I thought, are you drunk or something? There's no way 57 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: they were coming back. 58 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: I do love the word clown actually when it's screwing. Yeah, 59 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: it's it's underused. Yeah that just brilliant from the Warrior 60 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: And yeah, that's that's ambitious to say the least. Just 61 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: moments like what needs a Leslie to part there? 62 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: For it's magical, it's good, it's great to watch, exactly. Yeah, 63 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: and so a couple of points, we don't have our 64 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: full squad back, So so Johnson's not back, but he's back, 65 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: he's due back this week. What do you do so strongly? 66 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: What are you doing? 67 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: Has fielden? And that's the depth that has been talking about. 68 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 2: So I'm thinking that's a tough call. Because a guy's informant. 69 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: I'd go with the informed play. It just looks poised. Yeah, exactly. 70 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: Mind you Johnson brings, you know, all of that stability 71 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: and seniority and confidence around the ball and stuff like that. Yeah, indeed, 72 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: what do you do anyway? A good problem to have is, 73 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: isn't it just and then we come to the I 74 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: I mean, would the well. 75 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: These are the favorites for Super you're talking, yeah, well 76 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: if I've got through and yeah they. 77 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: Did, but I'm thinking Hurricanes Chiefs that could go either way, 78 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: couldn't it Yep? 79 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 2: Yep? 80 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: So everyone says Hurricanes Blues for the final. Yeah, but 81 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: it might not be. Yeah. 82 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: Claig McMillan is a pretty astutie, but you got against 83 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: Clark Laidler. It has made in season there I think 84 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: that's a fascinating battle. 85 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: Exactly for sure. Have you got the channel, by the 86 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: way on the deer one? What are you going? Nest Car? 87 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: If you see nest Car starts. 88 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: If one for me, I think it's still the pinnacle 89 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: for me. 90 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: Do you know the Russell's qualified pol. 91 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 2: So he got there because he did it first. I 92 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 2: did it first ahead of the STARp and. 93 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: But they actually time it to the ten thousandth of 94 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: a second, but they don't publish it. So what's public 95 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: is the one thousandth and so that's the dead heat. 96 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: So they go another actually time to the ten thousandth 97 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: and somebody somewhere will know who was actually faster. 98 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: Wow, that's that's the information. That's that's my fun fact 99 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 2: for the morning. There you go, so you trust you 100 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: to know. 101 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: I came here it was going to be good anyway, 102 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: but you walk out with a fun thing. 103 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: That's just absolute top. 104 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: Good to see you mate. 105 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 2: For more from the Mike Asking Breakfast, listen live to 106 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: news talks.
