Speaker 1: Live from the Export Beer Gardens studios and as always
Speaker 1: brought to you by Export Ultra the BF. Here this
Speaker 1: is the Agenda Podcast for the twenty fifth of November.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of sporting nonsense and clap trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Export a Vulture.
Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome along to the Monday Agenda.
Speaker 3: James mcconey, Oh, Calder, how's it going, Glane, it's been
Speaker 3: a day. How is your golf?
Speaker 1: The golf? It's actually not too bad. I apologize for
Speaker 1: abandoning you for the last two minutes of that game,
Speaker 1: but I basically handbreak the car outside the tea box
Speaker 1: and jumped out of the car and teet off. That's how.
Speaker 3: That's how.
Speaker 1: On the buzzer, I was for an eleven thirty tee off.
Speaker 3: When you left, I thought, oh, it's just golf, and
Speaker 3: then I thought, no, you need to make your teeth
Speaker 3: because then you can't count your score and your screwed
Speaker 3: and asking the next group if you can tee off
Speaker 3: with them is just it's awkward.
Speaker 1: It is almost so now I managed to manage to
Speaker 1: get on there. There was that was good. But we
Speaker 1: played a game of cricket on Friday night, James, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you know the A c C eleven
Speaker 1: dondur Red's down in Hamilton.
Speaker 3: They went to your old school. Yes, found a shot
Speaker 3: of you with your bullsack out.
Speaker 1: My bullsck was not out, and that's that's what I felt.
Speaker 3: Like see it. Maybe it's just one of those things
Speaker 3: that you expect to see because you were keptaining the
Speaker 3: first siftem by the looks of things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you see what you want to see, ye, But no,
Speaker 1: I don't think my testic was hanging out. It was
Speaker 1: a very blurred photo anyway.
Speaker 3: It was definitely bush.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a bit of bush, a little bit
Speaker 1: of bush hanging out. But we remain defeated the ACC eleven.
Speaker 1: We did what we came to do, is Well said
Speaker 1: this morning on the Hurdace Breakfast shows. And that's what
Speaker 1: we're there for. We're there. We're pretty much to make
Speaker 1: other few people feel good about themselves, and we travel
Speaker 1: the country. We're like the Washington Wizards. We just go
Speaker 1: and think it. Think up the joint, the joint.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: We thought we'd set a pretty competitive total one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy off twenty overs, but they last over I
Speaker 1: may have leaked twelve runs off my last two balls
Speaker 1: of my over and then tossed the ball to a
Speaker 1: nice shirt and said, finish them off me. They needed
Speaker 1: five to win off the last over.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a tough one for mine.
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, I mean I felt bad for him,
Speaker 1: but then I didn't.
Speaker 3: But was he bowling autumn leaves?
Speaker 1: He bowls a stock wrong and he actually he should
Speaker 1: have got a stumping.
Speaker 3: It's a nice election, doesn't he. Yeah, but he.
Speaker 1: Can't bowl xpin. He bowls wrong ins the whole time.
Speaker 3: Oh, because I've seen them bowl in the office and
Speaker 3: it is weird, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Ye? It is strange and heat he beat one of
Speaker 1: these batsmen who was quite a heavy batsman all ends up,
Speaker 1: should have got a stumping, Harry Harry Young unfortunately bobbled
Speaker 1: the ball. But we were talking about it on the
Speaker 1: way home and Mania. It's the most convoluted way of
Speaker 1: him bowling off spin, Yeah, because he can't bowl a legsman.
Speaker 1: He can only bowl wrong, and so he's got the
Speaker 1: most roundabout way of coming in and bowling off spin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is which is odd.
Speaker 3: Because you're pretty much twisting you risk you know, sort
Speaker 3: of you're being a little contortionist in some ways just
Speaker 3: to get this really nice little stock off spin. Yeah,
Speaker 3: league is are the way to go. I remember playing
Speaker 3: cricket with my dad late and like when I was
Speaker 3: maybe late twenties, come back from overseas. Never really played
Speaker 3: cricket with him much, and he had a natural leg
Speaker 3: spin action. I was like, what the hell you can
Speaker 3: actually bowl? Because you know, when Shane Warn turned up,
Speaker 3: we were all trying to bowl legs. Yeah, everybody was
Speaker 3: obsessed with it. But I let's go back to the
Speaker 3: issue at hand here. The ACC eleven is so shit
Speaker 3: that I have and I've not been a part of
Speaker 3: any of those defeats.
Speaker 1: Right, Wow, you didn't you play the one out in
Speaker 1: the Eden Park number two? I think.
Speaker 3: I blew a calf. Yeah, so you were just quite
Speaker 3: confronting for everybody. So you were you have been involved,
Speaker 3: have been involved. I've been involved in one of one
Speaker 3: of the losses. Yeah, really stank it up. Plus you
Speaker 3: were also brought in the props. Boy bowled off a
Speaker 3: fucking massive long run up, bowling about one forty. I
Speaker 3: was like, what the hell I was keeping? I was expecting,
Speaker 3: like just taking in some easy ones. It was all
Speaker 3: I could do from stuff from not conceding fifty buys
Speaker 3: from his express pace anyway, it's so bad. Now I'm
Speaker 3: offering my services as coach. I expected them to be
Speaker 3: turned down, but I am offering my services coach.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like we need a lot more than coaching. I think.
Speaker 1: I think that's goes it goes a lot deeper.
Speaker 3: I'm not really going to be the coach. I plan
Speaker 3: to bring along a proper cricketer. So if you make
Speaker 3: me coach old sort of Alex ferguson this thing and
Speaker 3: say I'll oversee it. Oh, I see, and here's someone
Speaker 3: who knows about cricket. Okay, you're going to sort you out.
Speaker 1: So you're going to be like it's like director of
Speaker 1: rugby kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, director of the ACC eleven.
Speaker 1: We did have one very good recruit in Riley McCallum.
Speaker 1: So he opened the batting for the A. He said
Speaker 1: it actually potentially one of the best sportsman or athletes
Speaker 1: that have done the A C C uniform.
Speaker 3: I'd say probably the best.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And he hit his first three deliveries he hit
Speaker 1: for I think it's two falls and a six and
Speaker 1: it was quite impressive, and I think he retired out
Speaker 1: fairly early. You get to retire at thirty. He got
Speaker 1: that pretty quickly. And then he I tossed him the
Speaker 1: ball and I said, rob the arm over. He goes,
Speaker 1: what do you want spin or pace? I was like,
Speaker 1: it's a two piece white ball, pace, mate, pace, and
Speaker 1: so he just just came in, came in, gave him,
Speaker 1: showed a bit of heat. But yeah, like I said,
Speaker 1: in the end, we lost quite convincingly. In the end.
Speaker 3: That's Brendan McCallum son. Is this it is? Yeah? And
Speaker 3: is he playing in the Black Black Clashing.
Speaker 1: No, he's not. He hasn't had the call up because
Speaker 1: then and I said, you know why, it's because you
Speaker 1: got Brian Laura out, so you can't. You can't turn
Speaker 1: up to the Black Clash and get the get the whole,
Speaker 1: get the draw card and get him out. And he
Speaker 1: ruined everything and he goes, I wasn't but I wasn't
Speaker 1: even trying. He was just rubbish. So it was not
Speaker 1: my fault. And I said, but they haven't called, have
Speaker 1: They said, Nah, they haven't called. So unfortunately not this year.
Speaker 1: They said maybe next year we can get Riley in.
Speaker 3: Brian Larathan was so sad watching Allegian and how the
Speaker 3: Mighty have fallen, whatever you want to say, and then
Speaker 3: he had to say I'm fifty six years old and
Speaker 3: all this sort of stuff. As he walked off. I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, Brian, yeah, but hopefully the universe bosses
Speaker 3: would be a bit better. He's still he's only recently retired.
Speaker 3: Oh I know he'll be smash.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll be good. And I tell you he'll be
Speaker 1: who's absolutely crapping themselves. And that is all the left
Speaker 1: arm spinners in the cricket team. So you've got your
Speaker 1: dam for Tory. I think Jason Spices and the rugby team,
Speaker 1: but they're terrified because he is just going to gobble
Speaker 1: up those left orthodox spinners and deposit them onto the
Speaker 1: bank at Hagary Over still tickets available for the party
Speaker 1: zone if you want to go there. Text Party to
Speaker 1: three two three six for that one. So yesterday morning,
Speaker 1: myself and yourself, James mccaroney, we came in nice and
Speaker 1: early to commentate the last all Black game of the
Speaker 1: year against Italy in Tudin, and you got one word
Speaker 1: to describe this.
Speaker 3: Match, bollocks. It was so bad it was probably the
Speaker 3: worst game of rugby I'd seen in a long time.
Speaker 3: I don't know who's to blame, Like sometimes you're just
Speaker 3: going what happened here, because it was like a black
Speaker 3: hole opened up and sucked out all the talent and
Speaker 3: all the entertainment and said, this is what we're giving you,
Speaker 3: which is just an absolute offering of dog turds. It
Speaker 3: was so bad, well it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was an interesting morning because the first half
Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, you know it's cold, it's one degree
Speaker 1: or whatever, not that that's an excuse. Paul sever Piece
Speaker 1: had to put rugby socks on his hands in the crowd,
Speaker 1: Seevoy Reese, that's how cold it was. And I thought
Speaker 1: after half time we were leading seventeen was it seventeen
Speaker 1: six at halftime? And I thought, oh, this will probably
Speaker 1: blow out in the second half. They'll free up, loosen up.
Speaker 1: And no points were scored in the first thirty minutes
Speaker 1: of the second half. It was all seventeen points to six,
Speaker 1: and it was just the most uninspiring game I've watched
Speaker 1: from quite some time, and I found it difficult to
Speaker 1: get him behind it.
Speaker 3: I also think that any of the top four NPC
Speaker 3: teams would beat that.
Speaker 1: As a league team, they couldn't catch it, could they
Speaker 1: Every time they got possision they drop it. But then
Speaker 1: again we went overly like al either, you have to.
Speaker 3: Have a good scrub. So I think Wally would beat them.
Speaker 3: The champions. I think by Plenty would beat them, and
Speaker 3: probably Tartanaki slash White cut All would beat them, would
Speaker 3: roll the I mean maybe that's unfair, but anyway, it
Speaker 3: was just like they did. Bring on Jake Paul look alike.
Speaker 3: Who was I think Jake Paul was in better condition
Speaker 3: than that guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that. Yeah, it was a striking resemblance
Speaker 1: to Jake Paul. And like I said, I'm embarrassed to
Speaker 1: know what even what Jake Paul looks like. But I
Speaker 1: do have for that Tyson to.
Speaker 3: Fight annoying because you just wanted there to be some tries,
Speaker 3: some kind of like some flow to it. But I'm
Speaker 3: actually going to pin the blame on George Michael, the referee,
Speaker 3: because he it's his eighth game, so it was like
Speaker 3: work experience. But it was more the fact that he
Speaker 3: he was he had ping players like he did some
Speaker 3: some really good calls, like he did. You know, like
Speaker 3: didn't refuse to send Patrick Tupel or to Evan Charlson
Speaker 3: to the to the bin because he said, no, no,
Speaker 3: it's fine, you know, chill out. But then every single
Speaker 3: ruck there are Italians lying all over the ball trying
Speaker 3: to slap the ball back and all that sort of stuff,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, not slap the ball bag, yeah, slap
Speaker 3: the ball back, not ball bags, you know, raking it back.
Speaker 3: And so then I was like, this is that's a penalty. Like,
Speaker 3: we've all had teams where we've seen our players get
Speaker 3: bin for that CREDI bullshit, And he's just going, now,
Speaker 3: that's just every single ruck fine. And now I think
Speaker 3: that's what stopped the All Blacks from getting any any
Speaker 3: sort of momentum.
Speaker 1: And they're interesting. The croc roll I've first off, I've
Speaker 1: heard I've heard of the neck roll. But dog role
Speaker 1: got done for a croc roll.
Speaker 3: Did you. I knew that was somewhere in the laws,
Speaker 3: but it happens so often it seems to be the
Speaker 3: standard way of cleaning someone out because the alternative is
Speaker 3: that I actually think a croc roll is better than
Speaker 3: you know, where someone is standing trying to win the
Speaker 3: ball and someone just collise a smashes into them and
Speaker 3: to the back of the head, the back of their
Speaker 3: head basically, and I'm like, this is fucking bullshit. Man, Like,
Speaker 3: rugby has massive problems at the breakdown. How do you
Speaker 3: actually clean someone out? It's like a Paddy Caake sort
Speaker 3: of thing or what do you what is it? Because
Speaker 3: I actually don't like those those cleanouts where somebody's just
Speaker 3: standing prone because you're not earning your hit there you
Speaker 3: know that they're stuck in the mud kind of over
Speaker 3: the feet of jam between other people's players and they
Speaker 3: just look up and see this massive unite. So yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like, oh my god. So whatever Rugby does to
Speaker 3: the laws, I sort of feel like the breakdown is
Speaker 3: still going to be crappy.
Speaker 1: So that's the end of the All Blacks season Raisers season.
Speaker 1: One loss on the Northern Tour would have taken that
Speaker 1: at the start.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's only one point loss. So I was on
Speaker 3: news Talk ZB yesterday and I gave it the A
Speaker 3: B everyone was giving versus Raises Raisers year. Everyone was
Speaker 3: giving it a C. But I thought it was a
Speaker 3: BEE because it's only that one point loss that stopped
Speaker 3: it from being an incredible tour, Northern tour and then yes,
Speaker 3: South Africa got the better of the all blacks. But
Speaker 3: that's pretty much that's it really, So it's a B
Speaker 3: in my books. It's a I mean there's a rebuild year.
Speaker 3: You have to admit that. I mean, it's you know,
Speaker 3: you lose all those guys like Metallic White Lock, Aaron Smith.
Speaker 3: I know that we've probably kept a lot of talent,
Speaker 3: but he's brought some guys through Razor like well it's
Speaker 3: the tt yeah, and people Vacilli or Tossi and no
Speaker 3: one was talking about how many year ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And also good to see to Mighty Williams as well.
Speaker 1: I think he had a great tour. He did ye
Speaker 1: spot right and things like getting Peter Luckeye in there
Speaker 1: after a super rugby season. You're right, though one year
Speaker 1: you're going to lose a whole lot of games. It's
Speaker 1: it's this one the first year after the World Cup
Speaker 1: and you've got another three years to prepare for the
Speaker 1: World Cup. That's going to be an aussy. It's pretty
Speaker 1: much a home World Cup really if it's going to
Speaker 1: be a nussy close to home. So yeah, and I
Speaker 1: quite like the fact we lost a few games kind
Speaker 1: of brings out proper, proper rugby fans and proper All
Speaker 1: Black fans when we're losing some because you've got something
Speaker 1: to cheer about and someone to get behind.
Speaker 3: I much prefer this landscape of world rugby. That's why better.
Speaker 3: We have to forget about that stupid eight win record.
Speaker 3: That's gone. That's it's it's in the past. Remember South
Speaker 3: Africa had that win record before Rugby twom pro and
Speaker 3: we got our act together a lot quicker and overtook them. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so it was actually Africa's kind of they were the
Speaker 3: big Alpha for almost a century. Well, I mean they were,
Speaker 3: you know, I think the or Blecks only beat them
Speaker 3: in one one series or something until Rugby turn pro. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so it was anyway, I guess what I'm saying is
Speaker 3: everything's changed. It's for the better now. There's no foregone conclusions.
Speaker 3: If you go to an all Blacks game and you
Speaker 3: catman do black puffer, you have to frecking make some noise.
Speaker 3: Otherwise get the fuck out of the stadium because we
Speaker 3: don't want your boring, average middle of the road. Oh,
Speaker 3: the or Blecks normally win by twenty Homember when blah
Speaker 3: blah blah, and you know it's like, yeah, it's like
Speaker 3: I don't give a fuck. This is like you need
Speaker 3: to be a fan, and that means, you know, cheering
Speaker 3: for them when times are tough.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, when times are tough, when they're down,
Speaker 1: like the Prime's up. I always bang on about it.
Speaker 1: When they were losing to Argentina at the Cake Tin
Speaker 1: and at that moment their last ten minutes they were
Speaker 1: still in the aim. That's when the crowd needed to
Speaker 1: get behind them. Instead they got punished with a Viccy
Speaker 1: and then someone did a Mixican wave. It's like, get
Speaker 1: mind the team?
Speaker 3: What is that a Viccy song? Go back that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one hiding but yeah that of Becci song.
Speaker 1: And it was like why are you playing that? Why
Speaker 1: are you playing that to get behind the All Blacks.
Speaker 1: It's like fucking hell anyway. But Auckland f C have
Speaker 1: got a good example saying with the phoenix around, just
Speaker 1: letting the fans go for it.
Speaker 3: R I p of Viccy, but the I know Auckland C.
Speaker 3: Let's just see if I like what I'm seeing from
Speaker 3: the port. I love the Yellow Fever. These are the
Speaker 3: role models that new Zealand sports needs and they've pretty
Speaker 3: much already by the Auckland Sea. You can't stop winning
Speaker 3: before we move on from the rugby though. Severed piece
Speaker 3: wearing socks on his hands in the stand. We need
Speaker 3: to talk about.
Speaker 1: This because it's ruined the moment.
Speaker 3: It has. It has ruined the moment. Sam Caine, big applause.
Speaker 3: He's subbed off final All Blacks tests. They go, they
Speaker 3: pin to the crowd and there's Jordy Barrett. Oh, I'm
Speaker 3: looking at and you and Joe Jury are absolutely cracking up.
Speaker 3: I'm going, what's wrong? I mean, Jordie's you know, it's
Speaker 3: not that bad, and you going, severed piece has got
Speaker 3: gloves on his hands, socks on his hands. Sorry, he's
Speaker 3: seven piece has got socks on his hands, and you're
Speaker 3: just going, this is weird, man Like, there must be
Speaker 3: mittens and gloves in the Eddy desk range.
Speaker 1: Surely, sure But even if there isn't, surely there was
Speaker 1: a shopper, you know, tourist shop. It's ensuring it's in the.
Speaker 3: Base of the Alps. Alps. There'll be ski shops, but
Speaker 3: it will be.
Speaker 1: He was obviously so cold in the stands, sitting with
Speaker 1: all the dirty dirties up in the stand and they
Speaker 1: say he's got a pair of playing socks, and he's
Speaker 1: got and he's but the thing is he's clapping like
Speaker 1: a seal. So he's got the socks on and he's
Speaker 1: clapping Sam Cane off with the socks.
Speaker 3: And toes are flopping around and yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 3: of floppergin.
Speaker 1: And but forever his m Kine's final moments and in
Speaker 1: all black Jersey will forever be remembered with severed peace
Speaker 1: with socks on his hands.
Speaker 3: Can you mention one of those sort of you know,
Speaker 3: one of our Sky Sport documentaries and they try to
Speaker 3: have that moment with the music, bit of piano and
Speaker 3: they show the crowd and for old Severy Reese we're
Speaker 3: talking about he had he had socks on his hands.
Speaker 3: Why why because it was cold and he nobody had gloves.
Speaker 3: That's all I can imagine was the reason why. And
Speaker 3: also I think Razor was wearing was not I think
Speaker 3: Razor was using. I think there was chewing gum, not
Speaker 3: a vape.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it looked like he was ripping a vape.
Speaker 1: It looked like he was ripping a USB. But it
Speaker 1: was Yeah, you're right. It was chewing gum. He was
Speaker 1: chewing gum in his mouth.
Speaker 3: He was biting, and there's a big difference between sucking
Speaker 3: and biting, as we all know, his massive difference.
Speaker 1: I will take a quick break and James Moill be
Speaker 1: back with a bit of cricky.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: Are you watching any of this India Ossie series?
Speaker 3: Not enough of it. I need to watch more. But
Speaker 3: I do always look at glance at the school board.
Speaker 3: Can I glance right now?
Speaker 1: You can glance right now? It is so on day one,
Speaker 1: India get rolled for one hundred and fifty and you
Speaker 1: could imagine the dingoes crowing. The dingoes were crowing about
Speaker 1: how great they are, how rubbish India are, how they're
Speaker 1: going to clean sweep them. Ozzie then get rolled for
Speaker 1: one hundred. They win seventy for nine. They get rolled
Speaker 1: for one hundred. Then India stroll back out and score
Speaker 1: four hundred and eighty seven for six. Declared, Coolie's got
Speaker 1: a century in there. And now they've set i'll see
Speaker 1: your world record target of over five hundred to win
Speaker 1: the Test with two days remaining over in Perth and
Speaker 1: they are twelve for three.
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable because I'm sure I saw a typo. Maybe
Speaker 3: my eyes are roosted both thought there are one hundred
Speaker 3: and twenty for three, but twelve for three is incredible. Lbw's.
Speaker 3: This is what I love. You're not getting two lbw's
Speaker 3: in Australia back in the eighties because they would never
Speaker 3: give lbw's. Everybody said that. I used to complain about
Speaker 3: Pakistani umpires, remember when England went there and had a
Speaker 3: big cry. But Ozzie umpires way worse. They would never
Speaker 3: give an LBW. I remember Chris Ken's trapping justin Langer
Speaker 3: first over, absolutely plum. They're not giving it first over,
Speaker 3: don't even try it. You might they might give him
Speaker 3: out once he's gone past seventy yeah, you know or whatever.
Speaker 1: Can you remember Danny Morrison v. Michael Whitney, Yes, oh
Speaker 1: my god, he walked across his stumps, stood in front
Speaker 1: of his stumps, gets and didn't didn't give him out.
Speaker 1: And it was for when the Test match too.
Speaker 3: And the commentators there were pathetic as well. They just
Speaker 3: didn't They just sort of they should have been saying
Speaker 3: this is an embarrassment, because that's the difference. I think
Speaker 3: Kiwis would go or at least the knowledge we had
Speaker 3: Fred good All though, Yeah he was a bit of
Speaker 3: a homer, wasn't he.
Speaker 1: Yeah he was, he was. He was our version of
Speaker 1: all of their umpires. He never gave anything for pedals,
Speaker 1: give pedals everything, anything you wanted, anything he wanted.
Speaker 3: So ip Fred Goodall. We do love Fred. But the
Speaker 3: thing about it is like I think everybody acknowledged that,
Speaker 3: you know, we made fun of that whole thing. Remember
Speaker 3: there was mcphalen Gadsby did a really awesome sketch on
Speaker 3: on good Yeah, they did a sort of Calypso number,
Speaker 3: Caribbean number.
Speaker 1: After the Colin Croft.
Speaker 3: Colin Croft elbowed him or shoulder charged him as he
Speaker 3: came into bowl.
Speaker 1: I don't think Fred Goodill ever covered from Jermy Wells
Speaker 1: walking in on having a poet the base in reserve. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it was up in the ra a vance stand
Speaker 1: and I mean admittedly umpire Fred Goodell didn't lock the
Speaker 1: stall door and Jerry just burst in and there he
Speaker 1: was just pants down mid mid ablution, Jerry. Jerry came
Speaker 1: out and he goes, oh God, I've got something great
Speaker 1: to tell you. I'm just walking on Fred good or don't.
Speaker 3: Pose, but also possibly the worst person to have walk
Speaker 3: in on you because he's going to milk that story
Speaker 3: for all the time, you know, like he's that's been
Speaker 3: I don't know, thirty years of telling that story, maybe
Speaker 3: at least twenty years.
Speaker 1: But also he was he'd be the only one who
Speaker 1: recognized Fred Goodell, so everyone else will go sorry, mate, sorry,
Speaker 1: I know exactly, No.
Speaker 3: No, it's a double wheremy you get the biggest cricket
Speaker 3: nerd we know walking in on you. He's got his
Speaker 3: own radio show and TV show and he loves talking
Speaker 3: about cricket. Plus he's a comment commentator here with the
Speaker 3: acc that story is going to get aired out for
Speaker 3: well and now that Free Goodill passed away, I think
Speaker 3: in twenty fifteen doesn't have to hear the story of something.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it was about it must have
Speaker 1: been about twenty fourteen when it occurred. And yeah, it
Speaker 1: was at the bait we were commentating at the basin.
Speaker 1: So he wasn't long for this world. I don't think
Speaker 1: when he walked in.
Speaker 3: There, who got all of India's runs?
Speaker 1: Then Coley got a Hundi damn it.
Speaker 3: He was in a slum.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not anymore. He loved and the wicket is just
Speaker 1: it's nice, flat, bouncy. It flattened out day one. It
Speaker 1: was a nightmare and now it's flattened out.
Speaker 3: So that's annoying because he was in a massive slut. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: Now we can't post that meme of him, the Tiger
Speaker 1: King meme.
Speaker 3: But also I keep an eye on the averages of
Speaker 3: the Fab four, so you know, it's Coley, Joe Roots,
Speaker 3: Kayan Williamson and Steve Smith and Smith Savages at the top.
Speaker 3: But he's in a bit of a slug.
Speaker 1: He's got a golden duck in the first thing.
Speaker 3: Exactly, he's gonna down and then I think Joe Root
Speaker 3: is just about fifty canes in second place. But Coley
Speaker 3: was down in the in the late forties and I
Speaker 3: was happy with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, anyway, it's going to be. It's
Speaker 1: not good for us though in our World Test Championship.
Speaker 1: This is the problem. So we need Australia to win
Speaker 1: this series over India. We can only let India win
Speaker 1: one game if we've got any chance of being in
Speaker 1: the World Test Championship final. Well, first of all, we've
Speaker 1: got to beat England three now, so that's the first challenge.
Speaker 1: But we've also got Australia have to beat India this series.
Speaker 1: So there's all sorts, all sorts on the line, but
Speaker 1: it's very hard getting in behind Australia. I'm torn. I'm torn.
Speaker 1: I don't know who.
Speaker 3: Natalie and Brigley are. Yeah, nothing's right, you're torn. I
Speaker 3: do look at the batting lineup and I just go,
Speaker 3: it's not actually, I mean, I know. Labushane had this
Speaker 3: incredible start to his career.
Speaker 1: He's bowling bowling pace. Now did you see that? He
Speaker 1: reckons can he reckons cat boyl one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: kilometers an hour.
Speaker 3: Oh so he's trying to give around for them. But
Speaker 3: I've got Mitchell mastering exactly the same thing. Okay. So
Speaker 3: he wants the ball in hand and to bowl, yeah,
Speaker 3: and to bend his back a little bit. Okay, fine,
Speaker 3: uh mcswingey never heard of him. And then you've got
Speaker 3: kwaj you're up the top. But I mean, I don't know,
Speaker 3: it's just yeah.
Speaker 1: He he didn't like bo, he didn't like facing Kawasa.
Speaker 1: He was all over the place in their first innings.
Speaker 1: Hated it. Yeah, speaking of Krigy Thursday, some three days time,
Speaker 1: black Cats play England down at Hagley Oval. And thanks

Speaker 1: two three six a sign up. It's called Cricket Mind,
Speaker 1: It's gonna be It's gonna be good. But speaking of cricket,
Speaker 1: something on the weekend caught our attention. It was Zimbabwe
Speaker 1: and T ten League. Now okay, and I haven't heard
Speaker 1: of it either, but it was a third umpire that
Speaker 1: got caught doing something else. And this is him trying
Speaker 1: to mumble him on his way through the third Umpire
Speaker 1: proceeds pitched outside. I think James Vince has reviewed it
Speaker 1: straight away?
Speaker 3: Is a review? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, review? Sorry, thank you?
Speaker 3: I take the front for first.
Speaker 2: What what are you looking for? L W? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I know, thanks.
Speaker 2: I was doing something else.
Speaker 3: Okay, So do him scrolling? Motherfucker scrolling? I mean, we
Speaker 3: could say porn, but I feel like he's just he
Speaker 3: sounds like classic scroller.
Speaker 1: Yes, someone someone's compared him to Ellen Partridge, Like is
Speaker 1: Ellen Partridge doing the third Umpire?
Speaker 3: What are we looking for? What are you looking like?
Speaker 1: I love how is Mike's hot and he's trying to
Speaker 1: stumble through what?
Speaker 3: L we W? What he's doing something else?
Speaker 1: Oh god?
Speaker 3: Oh mind? You probably no worse than that? Remember that
Speaker 3: the English fourth Umpire? The umpire? Who who over in
Speaker 3: the Adelaide? Anything that the mark on the back could
Speaker 3: be anything. It's like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: That could be anything?
Speaker 3: That could be anything? That mark on the bats Was
Speaker 3: that Ellingworth? I remember the name of you. If you
Speaker 3: scroll through a few there was Ellingworth is the name
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about?
Speaker 1: Ellingsworth?
Speaker 3: A pierce of some kind or Yeah?
Speaker 1: That that could be anything? Was that was a real wounder? Hey,
Speaker 1: we'll take another quick short break and we'll be back
Speaker 1: with some news from Max. A strap on from Vegas. Right,
Speaker 1: the Vegas Grand Prix was on last night, James, did
Speaker 1: you catch.
Speaker 2: Any of that?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: What happened?
Speaker 1: Well the strap On? He came fifth, but that was
Speaker 1: enough for him to sew up his fourth straight Formula
Speaker 1: One driver's title. George Russell came first and Sir Lewis
Speaker 1: Hamilton came second. It was pretty funny actually, George George
Speaker 1: Russell was pretty stoked to win, and he was due
Speaker 1: to fly out that night out of Vegas, and he
Speaker 1: was on stage. He guess, I've canceled my flight. I'm
Speaker 1: going to tear Vegas a new one. Get ready to party.
Speaker 1: So he just stayed on and partied all night. I
Speaker 1: love the Vegas Grand Prix because that is like, there's
Speaker 1: the biggest circus you'll ever see. Liam Lawson sat the
Speaker 1: bed a little bit. He ended up coming sixteenth. Unfortunately
Speaker 1: he had to pit in the last ten laps, which
Speaker 1: sent him way down the pecking order, which is a
Speaker 1: shame because I had money on him beating Sonoda, which
Speaker 1: is disappointing. He was paying two bucks to beat Sonoda's
Speaker 1: teammates right, and he shd the bed. That's a bit
Speaker 1: of a shame. He's talking a big game right now,
Speaker 1: Yes he is. And he's only got a few more
Speaker 1: races to try and prove himself to get in that
Speaker 1: seat next to the strap on for next year. Which
Speaker 1: is the which is the rumor? So yeah, and how
Speaker 1: you touched on at Auckland f C top of the table,
Speaker 1: four wins from four and now they've got two home
Speaker 1: games coming.
Speaker 3: Up, including another derby with Wellington Phoenix who won as well.
Speaker 3: Like Wellington Phoenix are looking just as good. Actually, how good?
Speaker 1: How good do we dare to dream that in a
Speaker 1: league final why not could be played at Gohard Mount
Speaker 1: Smart between Auckland f C and the Phoenix.
Speaker 3: The Phoenix, I think the chances are good. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: haven't seen any other team that's necessarily much better. The
Speaker 3: Melbourne victory played against Wellington Phoenix last night, that victory
Speaker 3: are kind of the top of the table team. Anyway,
Speaker 3: there were up there and they got taken down. They
Speaker 3: got taken down by Wellington with Marco Rojas back, the
Speaker 3: Kiwi Messi back in the team and he laid the
Speaker 3: ball on for costa barbarusis and honestly, cost of living,
Speaker 3: cost of living crisis is absolutely smashing it.
Speaker 1: He is.
Speaker 3: It's going up and up and up, that cost of
Speaker 3: living crisis. And he he's just a different man. Back
Speaker 3: in Wellington. You can tell he's around his family. He
Speaker 3: walks out at the start of games with his holding
Speaker 3: hands with his daughters like they're kind of like the
Speaker 3: captains of the team. Every game, every home game, you'll
Speaker 3: see him. His daughters are out the front of the
Speaker 3: Phoenix line. It's pretty cool. So so I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think that the Phoenix coach chiefe Giancarlo he is
Speaker 3: a genius Italians Australian mate and he's a bloody genius.
Speaker 3: And then but Auckland c have got a pretty good
Speaker 3: Titan knit. They've got a good mix together. They've assembled
Speaker 3: some some gcs. Because this guy from Uruguaymo Mai, he
Speaker 3: scored the goal yesterday. He's just a good bastard. His
Speaker 3: favorite song is that four non Blondes you know, what's
Speaker 3: what's up? What's going on? You know what? You know?
Speaker 3: I said, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, going exactly. He loves it.
Speaker 3: That's his hype song. So I respect him for that.
Speaker 3: And then they've got this Belgian dude who's who's pretty
Speaker 3: cool and he's like the disruptive midfield guy. He's not
Speaker 3: going to show out on many highlights. But you need
Speaker 3: all those sorts of pieces in a football team. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and they've got them, g Lane. So yes, well it's
Speaker 3: all KB.
Speaker 1: Final and there's a pedigree here because Bill Foley's NHL team,
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Black Knights Golden Knights sorry, went on
Speaker 1: to the Stanley Cup Final.
Speaker 3: In their first season. Yes see he's got some he's
Speaker 3: got he's got a record. Yeah, it does, Old big
Speaker 3: Big Bill Foley and Alex Paulson, the guy who they
Speaker 3: kind of nabbed away from Wellington Fox the great move
Speaker 3: they signed Bournemouth, signed him as part of the Foley
Speaker 3: family and then loaned him out to Aokland. They see
Speaker 3: he hasn't conceded a goal this year. Clean sheets, all
Speaker 3: road sheets. More that we can say about our teenage years.
Speaker 3: Gu Lane.
Speaker 1: Absolutely don't don't don't ever put your kids in navy
Speaker 1: blue sheets today. That was that was a hate crime.
Speaker 1: That was an absolute hate crime.
Speaker 3: The acc commentary for England this week.
Speaker 1: Yes, eleven am Thursday kicks off on iHeartRadio. Right, so, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's gonna that's gonna be h. I cannot wait. Actually,
Speaker 1: I love getting back into the settle and just watching
Speaker 1: test cricket for five days in a row. But it'd
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what pictures have got down there
Speaker 1: in christ Usually she's fairly green. In the first couple
Speaker 1: of days is pretty spicy, so it'd be an interesting
Speaker 1: to see how that goes. So you can join us
