Ten after midday, let's 62 00:03:53,587 --> 00:03:56,347 Speaker 3: take you to the boss of New Zealand cricket. Scott 63 00:03:56,347 --> 00:03:59,667 Speaker 3: Weenick joins the program. Scott, good afternoon, Thanks for your time. 64 00:04:00,867 --> 00:04:02,427 Speaker 5: Good afternoon, thanks having me. 65 00:04:03,107 --> 00:04:05,947 Speaker 3: Well, look the other test at the moment, let's say, 66 00:04:06,027 --> 00:04:09,227 Speaker 3: coming to a probable conclusion in the coming hours, hasn't 67 00:04:09,307 --> 00:04:11,747 Speaker 3: really been the black Caps Test to this point, has it? 68 00:04:13,907 --> 00:04:17,547 Speaker 5: No, not a deal. I think if we're taking a 69 00:04:17,547 --> 00:04:20,267 Speaker 5: few more catches, you know, we would have been well 70 00:04:20,307 --> 00:04:24,827 Speaker 5: on top. But I guess that's that's cricket. Unfortunately it is. 71 00:04:24,867 --> 00:04:28,947 Speaker 3: Indeed, look, I suppose that's the consistency that you look 72 00:04:28,987 --> 00:04:31,347 Speaker 3: for an international cricket just come off the back of 73 00:04:31,347 --> 00:04:35,027 Speaker 3: a three nil series win in India and then perhaps 74 00:04:35,307 --> 00:04:38,107 Speaker 3: the highs and lows of international sport come back to 75 00:04:38,227 --> 00:04:39,387 Speaker 3: earth with a bit of a thud. 76 00:04:40,907 --> 00:04:41,467 Speaker 6: Exactly. 77 00:04:41,827 --> 00:04:44,907 Speaker 5: No, you know, we're obviously you know, a New Zealand 78 00:04:44,987 --> 00:04:47,867 Speaker 5: cricket is an incredible spot at the moment and it's 79 00:04:47,867 --> 00:04:50,707 Speaker 5: been an incredible period. But as I keep saying to people, 80 00:04:51,027 --> 00:04:54,787 Speaker 5: sport is very fickle. Let's enjoy it. While we can, 81 00:04:56,027 --> 00:05:00,227 Speaker 5: because it can all change pretty quickly. But again, you know, 82 00:05:00,787 --> 00:05:04,707 Speaker 5: you know, a couple of bad days and some drop 83 00:05:04,787 --> 00:05:07,827 Speaker 5: catches doesn't really change the fact that, you know, the 84 00:05:07,867 --> 00:05:11,387 Speaker 5: Black Pats and mccoms are going pretty well at the moment. 85 00:05:11,867 --> 00:05:16,307 Speaker 3: Indeed, look, not much test cricket coming up on the horizon, 86 00:05:16,387 --> 00:05:18,467 Speaker 3: Scott is there in the coming twelve months. I think 87 00:05:18,467 --> 00:05:21,787 Speaker 3: two tests are Wayne Zimbabwe two against the West Indies, 88 00:05:21,827 --> 00:05:24,427 Speaker 3: So the next three weeks you better savior. If you're 89 00:05:24,427 --> 00:05:27,147 Speaker 3: a test cricket fan. What's the rationale behind that? I 90 00:05:27,187 --> 00:05:30,067 Speaker 3: know the future Tours program is something that the ICC 91 00:05:30,187 --> 00:05:33,587 Speaker 3: obviously dictates, but for test cricket fans, this is it 92 00:05:33,627 --> 00:05:34,107 Speaker 3: for a while. 93 00:05:35,827 --> 00:05:39,307 Speaker 5: Yeah, it is those I mean the programs have put 94 00:05:39,347 --> 00:05:43,587 Speaker 5: in place years in a bunt. We are currently working 95 00:05:43,667 --> 00:05:47,387 Speaker 5: on adding some test cricket to the calendar for next year. 96 00:05:48,427 --> 00:05:53,107 Speaker 5: We've certainly got at least one test extra test confirmed 97 00:05:53,147 --> 00:05:57,507 Speaker 5: which will be announcing shortly and we're look and we 98 00:05:57,627 --> 00:06:01,067 Speaker 5: are looking at another couple of options as well. So 99 00:06:01,107 --> 00:06:04,907 Speaker 5: we are doing our best to try and bring some 100 00:06:04,987 --> 00:06:08,627 Speaker 5: more test cricket to New Zealand cricket fans over the 101 00:06:08,667 --> 00:06:13,147 Speaker 5: next felve months. If we can unfortunately as just the 102 00:06:13,267 --> 00:06:17,547 Speaker 5: reality that you know, everyone has very very tight schedules 103 00:06:18,227 --> 00:06:20,067 Speaker 5: and it's just about trying to find space. 104 00:06:20,867 --> 00:06:23,227 Speaker 3: Is that something you've done proactively, Scott, you'd have looked 105 00:06:23,227 --> 00:06:25,027 Speaker 3: at the calendar and gone krikey, we don't have much 106 00:06:25,027 --> 00:06:27,187 Speaker 3: test cricket. We need to go out and to the market, 107 00:06:27,187 --> 00:06:29,547 Speaker 3: to these other test nations and try and put some together. 108 00:06:31,187 --> 00:06:34,227 Speaker 5: Yes, it is yep, and normally over Gin and tonicqu 109 00:06:34,267 --> 00:06:37,947 Speaker 5: at the ICC we're in, they're trying to work out, 110 00:06:38,027 --> 00:06:40,427 Speaker 5: you know, where we can find some more test cricket. 111 00:06:40,507 --> 00:06:43,027 Speaker 5: So yes, we are proactively in terms of the one 112 00:06:43,067 --> 00:06:45,507 Speaker 5: that we're that we're going to announce shortly, but we've 113 00:06:45,507 --> 00:06:48,347 Speaker 5: also been approached by another country that is key for 114 00:06:48,467 --> 00:06:51,267 Speaker 5: us to play some more test cricket. We just need 115 00:06:51,307 --> 00:06:54,227 Speaker 5: to work out how we fit it into our schedule. 116 00:06:54,307 --> 00:06:56,747 Speaker 5: So it's not just us that are trying to find 117 00:06:56,827 --> 00:07:00,907 Speaker 5: more more, you know, more test cricket. I think everyone 118 00:07:00,947 --> 00:07:03,427 Speaker 5: around the globe would ideally like to play more. It's 119 00:07:03,467 --> 00:07:06,947 Speaker 5: just really it's a very very congested schedule, particularly little 120 00:07:06,947 --> 00:07:09,787 Speaker 5: of the domestic twenty legs. 121 00:07:09,987 --> 00:07:12,427 Speaker 3: Indeed, in finding that window must be to play these 122 00:07:12,467 --> 00:07:14,467 Speaker 3: extra games must be incredibly tough, but you look at 123 00:07:14,467 --> 00:07:16,147 Speaker 3: these crowds in christ Church and are the base in 124 00:07:16,187 --> 00:07:18,907 Speaker 3: reserves selling well as well for the second Test? You 125 00:07:18,987 --> 00:07:21,507 Speaker 3: must go there is still life and Test cricket despite 126 00:07:21,547 --> 00:07:22,867 Speaker 3: some of the doomsayers out there. 127 00:07:24,347 --> 00:07:29,267 Speaker 5: Absolutely yep. You know New Zealand cricket fans love Test cricket, 128 00:07:29,507 --> 00:07:33,467 Speaker 5: our players love Test cricket. It's really about trying to find, 129 00:07:34,067 --> 00:07:36,107 Speaker 5: you know, where we can fit them into the schedule. 130 00:07:37,227 --> 00:07:39,427 Speaker 5: You know, otherwise we would play a lot more. 131 00:07:40,747 --> 00:07:43,747 Speaker 3: How do you capitalize on that tour success in Indie? 132 00:07:43,787 --> 00:07:46,307 Speaker 3: Obviously straight back into another series, but do you take 133 00:07:46,347 --> 00:07:48,387 Speaker 3: a step back and go that was three nil in 134 00:07:48,387 --> 00:07:50,987 Speaker 3: India very rarely happens, hasn't happened for the black Caps 135 00:07:50,987 --> 00:07:54,347 Speaker 3: in history. How do we capitalize? And it is part 136 00:07:54,387 --> 00:07:57,067 Speaker 3: of that, I suppose playing those more Test cricket games 137 00:07:57,067 --> 00:07:59,267 Speaker 3: and other nations wanting to play you more often. 138 00:08:00,787 --> 00:08:02,787 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's part of it, as you know, taking the 139 00:08:02,827 --> 00:08:06,467 Speaker 5: opportunity while you know, the New Zealand Cricket brand, the 140 00:08:06,507 --> 00:08:09,947 Speaker 5: Black Caps brand is running hot, is to try and 141 00:08:10,027 --> 00:08:14,427 Speaker 5: lock in more games in terms of sort of fan engagement, 142 00:08:15,227 --> 00:08:18,107 Speaker 5: you know, both across the Black Caps and the White Ferns, 143 00:08:18,307 --> 00:08:21,147 Speaker 5: you know, because are performing so well, there's been a 144 00:08:21,347 --> 00:08:25,867 Speaker 5: noticeable lift and interest across New Zealand and actually not 145 00:08:25,987 --> 00:08:29,787 Speaker 5: just across New Zealand, but also globally. You know, Indian 146 00:08:29,827 --> 00:08:34,307 Speaker 5: cricket fans absolutely love New Zealand cricket, even even though 147 00:08:34,347 --> 00:08:37,627 Speaker 5: we beat them recently, and so that's an area we 148 00:08:37,627 --> 00:08:40,787 Speaker 5: were really trying to push hard into as well, you know, 149 00:08:40,867 --> 00:08:43,107 Speaker 5: into India and the rest of the globe to really 150 00:08:43,227 --> 00:08:47,427 Speaker 5: generate fan engagement and fan interest in the New Zealand 151 00:08:47,467 --> 00:08:48,067 Speaker 5: cricket brand. 152 00:08:48,667 --> 00:08:51,067 Speaker 3: Gary Steed's contracted through to the middle of next year. 153 00:08:51,107 --> 00:08:54,467 Speaker 3: Have you had any preliminary discussions with Gary about future plans. 154 00:08:56,267 --> 00:08:59,667 Speaker 5: We just wanted to get through this summer. But we'll 155 00:08:59,667 --> 00:09:02,627 Speaker 5: certainly sit down with Gary at the appropriate time and 156 00:09:02,747 --> 00:09:06,347 Speaker 5: then talk about what his plans are. Yes, his contract 157 00:09:06,387 --> 00:09:08,467 Speaker 5: it comes to an end sort of mid next year, 158 00:09:08,507 --> 00:09:12,507 Speaker 5: which sort of coincides with the end of that World 159 00:09:12,547 --> 00:09:16,907 Speaker 5: Test Championship cycle. So you know, we'll go through a process, 160 00:09:16,947 --> 00:09:18,707 Speaker 5: but a lot of that will depend on what what 161 00:09:18,787 --> 00:09:19,787 Speaker 5: Gary wants to do. 162 00:09:20,787 --> 00:09:23,027 Speaker 3: You've been in the job for about a year now, Scott. 163 00:09:23,227 --> 00:09:25,227 Speaker 3: One of the biggest challenges you think that are facing 164 00:09:25,347 --> 00:09:30,427 Speaker 3: will cricket and New Zealand cricket. At the moment, the. 165 00:09:30,387 --> 00:09:37,307 Speaker 5: Biggest challenge continues to be both the congested and you'll 166 00:09:37,627 --> 00:09:41,947 Speaker 5: window cricket and you know, and that comes about through 167 00:09:42,827 --> 00:09:46,147 Speaker 5: more and more domestic T twenty leagues popping up, So 168 00:09:46,227 --> 00:09:50,587 Speaker 5: there's a huge demand on our players and there's just 169 00:09:50,587 --> 00:09:54,827 Speaker 5: just a you know, more and more challenging schedule to 170 00:09:54,827 --> 00:09:57,507 Speaker 5: try and fit games, and so they are probably the 171 00:09:57,627 --> 00:10:01,667 Speaker 5: two biggest challenges. You know, we we want our players 172 00:10:01,307 --> 00:10:06,347 Speaker 5: to make as much money and what are the short career, 173 00:10:07,587 --> 00:10:10,267 Speaker 5: but also ensure that they played for New Zealand for 174 00:10:10,387 --> 00:10:12,587 Speaker 5: as long and as often as possible. So that's a 175 00:10:12,667 --> 00:10:16,627 Speaker 5: really really difficult balancing act that we that we have, 176 00:10:16,827 --> 00:10:18,787 Speaker 5: but you know, there is a lot of good will 177 00:10:18,827 --> 00:10:21,387 Speaker 5: and we work very very closely with the players themselves 178 00:10:21,707 --> 00:10:26,027 Speaker 5: around that. So that's probably the biggest challenge. Cricket itself 179 00:10:26,267 --> 00:10:30,827 Speaker 5: is absolutely booming globally. You know, it's the second largest 180 00:10:30,867 --> 00:10:34,267 Speaker 5: sport and I think the fastest growing sports still, so 181 00:10:34,387 --> 00:10:36,107 Speaker 5: we've just got to really try and take advante into 182 00:10:36,147 --> 00:10:39,987 Speaker 5: that while trying to sort of navigate all these niggleague 183 00:10:40,107 --> 00:10:43,627 Speaker 5: issues around. You know, I congested schedule. 184 00:10:43,707 --> 00:10:46,027 Speaker 3: Did you feel like yourself in the ic C making 185 00:10:46,067 --> 00:10:48,467 Speaker 3: progress on that front in terms of you know, the 186 00:10:48,467 --> 00:10:51,347 Speaker 3: franchise leagues because it feels like a but like wlack 187 00:10:51,387 --> 00:10:53,507 Speaker 3: a mole, you know, they just new ones keep popping 188 00:10:53,587 --> 00:10:55,387 Speaker 3: up week to week around around the globe. 189 00:10:56,987 --> 00:10:59,267 Speaker 5: Yeah, i'd be. One of the biggest challenges is, you know, 190 00:10:59,347 --> 00:11:02,667 Speaker 5: the ic C is a is a member organization, so 191 00:11:02,947 --> 00:11:05,387 Speaker 5: it you know, unfortunately it doesn't have. 192 00:11:05,307 --> 00:11:08,307 Speaker 7: The influence that it should or could have. 193 00:11:08,427 --> 00:11:13,147 Speaker 5: In terms of actually managing you know, the cricketing window. 194 00:11:14,827 --> 00:11:17,867 Speaker 5: So that's a real challenge. I think the ICC is 195 00:11:17,867 --> 00:11:20,947 Speaker 5: doing its best, you know, and perhaps with and you know, 196 00:11:20,987 --> 00:11:23,067 Speaker 5: look Greg Barklayt does an amazing job as chair, but 197 00:11:23,067 --> 00:11:25,467 Speaker 5: perhaps with the new chair from bcc I who might 198 00:11:25,467 --> 00:11:28,827 Speaker 5: be able to influence things a little more, they might 199 00:11:28,867 --> 00:11:31,507 Speaker 5: be able to gain a little bit more control and 200 00:11:31,547 --> 00:11:35,147 Speaker 5: have a little bit more influenced around you know, the 201 00:11:36,667 --> 00:11:40,907 Speaker 5: cricket schedule. But it is the main challenge is the 202 00:11:41,107 --> 00:11:43,347 Speaker 5: ic C is a member nation and so it can't 203 00:11:43,547 --> 00:11:47,067 Speaker 5: actually dictate things to two countries. 204 00:11:46,947 --> 00:11:49,547 Speaker 3: Scott when with us the boss of New Zealand cricket. 205 00:11:49,907 --> 00:11:54,467 Speaker 3: The contracting model obviously is very different to perhaps that 206 00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:56,827 Speaker 3: the life that came in. So with the leagues that 207 00:11:56,867 --> 00:12:00,587 Speaker 3: we're discussing in New Zealand Cricket reconsidering or looking at 208 00:12:00,787 --> 00:12:04,027 Speaker 3: maybe the contracting model for players, given you know, players 209 00:12:04,067 --> 00:12:06,587 Speaker 3: have opted out of those central contracts and take can 210 00:12:06,587 --> 00:12:08,867 Speaker 3: casual ones up as there's a change that needs to 211 00:12:08,867 --> 00:12:09,427 Speaker 3: be made there. 212 00:12:11,147 --> 00:12:15,307 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the current contracting model is for purpose 213 00:12:15,387 --> 00:12:19,747 Speaker 5: for now. You know, we provide a lot of flexibility 214 00:12:19,827 --> 00:12:22,907 Speaker 5: around that to try and ensure that our players play 215 00:12:22,907 --> 00:12:25,387 Speaker 5: for us for as long and as often as possible, 216 00:12:25,467 --> 00:12:29,987 Speaker 5: well so taking advantage of these domestic T twenty league opportunities. 217 00:12:30,627 --> 00:12:34,427 Speaker 5: But you know, the cricketing world is changing rapidly and 218 00:12:34,467 --> 00:12:38,387 Speaker 5: we need to just continue to be very pragmatic and 219 00:12:38,507 --> 00:12:41,987 Speaker 5: very flexible and so we will just continue to work 220 00:12:42,147 --> 00:12:45,987 Speaker 5: with our players to work out what is the best 221 00:12:45,987 --> 00:12:49,027 Speaker 5: model for New Zealand Cricket and for our players going forward. 222 00:12:49,987 --> 00:12:52,107 Speaker 5: You know, if we need to change and that's what 223 00:12:52,147 --> 00:12:54,067 Speaker 5: the players want, then you know we'll sit down and 224 00:12:54,067 --> 00:12:55,987 Speaker 5: talk to them about that and work out you know 225 00:12:56,027 --> 00:12:59,147 Speaker 5: what that means. There is a lot to it. So 226 00:13:00,507 --> 00:13:02,427 Speaker 5: if there is to be a change, then you know 227 00:13:02,467 --> 00:13:03,787 Speaker 5: that there have to be a lot of things going 228 00:13:03,827 --> 00:13:08,307 Speaker 5: into it, but we're certainly, you know, always prepared to 229 00:13:08,347 --> 00:13:11,187 Speaker 5: have those discussions and try to continue to look at 230 00:13:11,667 --> 00:13:14,267 Speaker 5: what is just for our players as well as what's 231 00:13:14,307 --> 00:13:15,307 Speaker 5: the best musicaland cricket. 232 00:13:15,707 --> 00:13:18,547 Speaker 3: And Scott was intrigued by this announcement a day or 233 00:13:18,587 --> 00:13:22,347 Speaker 3: so ago. Hall of Fame New Zealand Crickets launching at 234 00:13:22,347 --> 00:13:26,187 Speaker 3: the Base and Reserve Test eleven to be inaugurated posts 235 00:13:26,307 --> 00:13:30,387 Speaker 3: World War Two players, men and women. Look, this is 236 00:13:30,387 --> 00:13:32,747 Speaker 3: an exciting concept. How it to come about? 237 00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:37,947 Speaker 5: Yeah, again, we you know, we're always thinking about bays 238 00:13:38,067 --> 00:13:43,147 Speaker 5: that we can engage our fans, you know, and and 239 00:13:43,467 --> 00:13:47,907 Speaker 5: bring about new fans while also you know, reflecting on 240 00:13:48,387 --> 00:13:53,347 Speaker 5: our history and ensuring that our past players are properly 241 00:13:53,387 --> 00:13:56,907 Speaker 5: honored and their stories are told. The Hall of Fame 242 00:13:56,987 --> 00:13:59,867 Speaker 5: concept initially came up to then idea from the Cricket 243 00:13:59,867 --> 00:14:04,347 Speaker 5: Players Association. So it's actually it's a it's a group 244 00:14:04,467 --> 00:14:08,067 Speaker 5: it's a tripathide arrangement between us ours with Cricket Players 245 00:14:08,107 --> 00:14:12,107 Speaker 5: Association and the Cricket Museum. And really, you know, we 246 00:14:12,147 --> 00:14:15,947 Speaker 5: see it as an idea, an opportunity to honor those 247 00:14:15,987 --> 00:14:19,587 Speaker 5: who performed so well for New Zealand while also you know, 248 00:14:19,627 --> 00:14:25,067 Speaker 5: trying to engage a new set of fans around our history. 249 00:14:25,707 --> 00:14:28,107 Speaker 3: Well it's fantastic concept. Look forward to seeing the eleven 250 00:14:28,187 --> 00:14:32,147 Speaker 3: names announced in the first induction later on this week. Scott, 251 00:14:32,187 --> 00:14:34,267 Speaker 3: thank you very much for your time, Kevisinger all those issues, 252 00:14:34,267 --> 00:14:36,067 Speaker 3: appreciate it. 253 00:14:36,147 --> 00:14:37,747 Speaker 5: My pleasure. Thank you for having me on. 254 00:14:37,907 --> 00:14:41,227 Speaker 3: That is Scott Winning the Chief executive of New Zealand Cricket. 255 00:14:41,267 --> 00:14:44,587 Speaker 3: Across the range of issues. I like the concept of 256 00:14:44,587 --> 00:14:48,467 Speaker 3: more test cricket in twenty twenty four or five. I 257 00:14:48,467 --> 00:14:50,867 Speaker 3: looked at the calendar this morning, the future Tours program 258 00:14:50,947 --> 00:14:55,707 Speaker 3: two again Zimbabwe midyear two against the West Indies on 259 00:14:55,787 --> 00:14:59,227 Speaker 3: home at the end of the year. That's it for 260 00:14:59,227 --> 00:15:01,827 Speaker 3: the summer. By the way, next summer just two tests 261 00:15:01,907 --> 00:15:05,507 Speaker 3: on home soil. But as you heard Scott revealed there 262 00:15:05,587 --> 00:15:07,667 Speaker 3: a few more tests, or maybe one or two more 263 00:15:07,707 --> 00:15:11,147 Speaker 3: tests at least, something more potentially on the calendar for 264 00:15:11,707 --> 00:15:15,267 Speaker 3: next season. Let's deal with this current test though, the 265 00:15:15,307 --> 00:15:19,707 Speaker 3: Black Caps two hundred and fifteen for nine since we 266 00:15:19,827 --> 00:15:24,107 Speaker 3: last updated dute and unfortunately that has seen Tim Suvee 267 00:15:24,107 --> 00:15:25,827 Speaker 3: dismissed Atkinson again. 268 00:15:25,947 --> 00:15:28,947 Speaker 8: This one's hiked away higher. There is there a man 269 00:15:29,027 --> 00:15:32,107 Speaker 8: underneath it. Yes, there is a man that's been taken 270 00:15:32,867 --> 00:15:36,787 Speaker 8: by Joe Route out wide along on who was running 271 00:15:36,827 --> 00:15:39,107 Speaker 8: around Saudi just got it on the bottom of the back. 272 00:15:39,507 --> 00:15:44,787 Speaker 8: It went very very high, just not enough distance and 273 00:15:44,827 --> 00:15:48,067 Speaker 8: that's the end of Tim South for twelve. 274 00:15:48,387 --> 00:15:51,307 Speaker 3: Out for twelve, Tim South and that's the courtesy of 275 00:15:51,347 --> 00:15:54,467 Speaker 3: our friends on the ACC. But some brighton news. We're 276 00:15:54,467 --> 00:15:56,147 Speaker 3: going to take every bit of bright news we can 277 00:15:56,147 --> 00:15:57,427 Speaker 3: get with the black Caps at the moment. 278 00:15:58,947 --> 00:16:02,027 Speaker 8: This one's swinging away a slow ball from Wakes and 279 00:16:02,027 --> 00:16:07,147 Speaker 8: has guided down to gully and that's fifty for Darryl Mitchell. 280 00:16:07,307 --> 00:16:10,107 Speaker 3: Fifty of one hundred and thirty two balls. 281 00:16:12,147 --> 00:16:12,787 Speaker 9: In New Zealand. 282 00:16:12,827 --> 00:16:15,347 Speaker 3: Now two fourteen for nine, a lead of sixty three. 283 00:16:15,627 --> 00:16:17,587 Speaker 3: So that had another run since then two hundred and 284 00:16:17,627 --> 00:16:20,707 Speaker 3: fifteen for nine in the second innings the black Cap 285 00:16:20,827 --> 00:16:24,987 Speaker 3: sixty four runs ahead, Darrel Mitchell not out fifty and 286 00:16:25,067 --> 00:16:28,267 Speaker 3: alongside and Will O'Rourke on one. That's a lead of 287 00:16:28,347 --> 00:16:31,627 Speaker 3: sixty four. So the black Caps clinging on. Looks like 288 00:16:31,667 --> 00:16:33,987 Speaker 3: the target for England to win this Test match is 289 00:16:33,987 --> 00:16:37,227 Speaker 3: going to be under triple figures. Can you get your 290 00:16:37,307 --> 00:16:43,027 Speaker 3: views on this is the black Caps performance in this 291 00:16:43,187 --> 00:16:48,907 Speaker 3: Test a return to type from what we've seen. Was 292 00:16:48,947 --> 00:16:53,147 Speaker 3: the Indian three nil win just papering over a few cracks, 293 00:16:54,067 --> 00:16:55,907 Speaker 3: which sounds weird to say. I know, they've just gone 294 00:16:55,907 --> 00:16:59,387 Speaker 3: and beat in one of the world's best teams Perennial 295 00:16:59,427 --> 00:17:03,707 Speaker 3: League Strong in their own backyard three nil, but before 296 00:17:03,747 --> 00:17:06,187 Speaker 3: that there was a loss to Sri Lanka. There been 297 00:17:07,307 --> 00:17:10,187 Speaker 3: losses over recent times on home soil as well. We 298 00:17:10,427 --> 00:17:14,307 Speaker 3: go maybe a little creaky. The T twenty World Cup 299 00:17:14,347 --> 00:17:19,227 Speaker 3: earlier in the year, of course, was that just one 300 00:17:19,267 --> 00:17:22,347 Speaker 3: out of the box in India that no one will 301 00:17:22,347 --> 00:17:28,667 Speaker 3: even be able to explain rationally that India just did 302 00:17:28,707 --> 00:17:30,827 Speaker 3: not turn up. The Black Cats played some very very 303 00:17:30,867 --> 00:17:35,507 Speaker 3: good cricket and now things have reverted back to type 304 00:17:35,627 --> 00:17:38,067 Speaker 3: because it kind of feels that way. This hasn't been 305 00:17:38,107 --> 00:17:40,227 Speaker 3: a great Black Cats performance in this first Test match, 306 00:17:42,387 --> 00:17:44,347 Speaker 3: but it is symptomatic of some of the cricket they've 307 00:17:44,347 --> 00:17:48,467 Speaker 3: played at on home soil in recent summers. We just 308 00:17:48,507 --> 00:17:51,787 Speaker 3: feel with the retirements and players out with injury, Cole 309 00:17:51,907 --> 00:17:54,947 Speaker 3: Jamison still out of course, Number Trent Bolt and various 310 00:17:54,947 --> 00:17:57,627 Speaker 3: other players coming in and out of the team that 311 00:17:57,787 --> 00:18:01,547 Speaker 3: obviously that World Championship magic from three years ago is 312 00:18:01,547 --> 00:18:04,907 Speaker 3: worn off a little, So how do you explain it 313 00:18:05,027 --> 00:18:07,827 Speaker 3: was that one out of the box in India that 314 00:18:08,587 --> 00:18:11,107 Speaker 3: we'll just never be able to rationally explain in the 315 00:18:11,107 --> 00:18:15,547 Speaker 3: context of recent history of this team and now they're 316 00:18:15,587 --> 00:18:20,747 Speaker 3: back to perhaps normality or is this test perhaps the 317 00:18:20,747 --> 00:18:22,147 Speaker 3: one out of the box.

And I think the 337 00:19:14,947 --> 00:19:18,187 Speaker 10: main problem, or the main reason for the defeat, which 338 00:19:18,227 --> 00:19:21,187 Speaker 10: is going to happen very soon, is the ten drop catches. 339 00:19:22,547 --> 00:19:24,787 Speaker 10: So I mean, I don't think the black Caps dropped 340 00:19:24,827 --> 00:19:27,747 Speaker 10: that many in probably the all the three Test matches 341 00:19:27,747 --> 00:19:30,267 Speaker 10: in India, So I think that was the main reason. 342 00:19:30,307 --> 00:19:33,027 Speaker 10: I don't think they have played too bad or something. 343 00:19:33,307 --> 00:19:36,467 Speaker 10: It's just too much pressure because of dog catchers, and 344 00:19:37,227 --> 00:19:39,987 Speaker 10: England wouldn't have got anywhere close to that lead if 345 00:19:40,027 --> 00:19:42,067 Speaker 10: they had held on to even half of them. 346 00:19:42,227 --> 00:19:43,947 Speaker 3: Well, they used to be such a good fielding team. 347 00:19:43,947 --> 00:19:45,627 Speaker 3: Probably they used to. They used to be one of 348 00:19:45,627 --> 00:19:47,787 Speaker 3: the black Cats cooling cards as the fielding and it 349 00:19:47,787 --> 00:19:52,227 Speaker 3: seems to have become one of the absolute deficiencies exactly. 350 00:19:52,347 --> 00:19:55,107 Speaker 10: Yeah, so maybe that's the problem and not probably the 351 00:19:55,587 --> 00:19:59,507 Speaker 10: individual performance or the team performance is just catching. I 352 00:19:59,547 --> 00:20:03,587 Speaker 10: think if they get that right and they'll be England 353 00:20:03,627 --> 00:20:05,267 Speaker 10: will be having a fight on their hands in the 354 00:20:05,307 --> 00:20:05,747 Speaker 10: next game. 355 00:20:06,067 --> 00:20:08,307 Speaker 3: Well, look from a New Zealand perspective, let's hope. So 356 00:20:08,427 --> 00:20:09,907 Speaker 3: nice to hear from you probably thank you very much 357 00:20:09,947 --> 00:20:12,787 Speaker 3: for your call this afternoon. Is line three eight hundred 358 00:20:14,107 --> 00:20:17,267 Speaker 3: nine two for a text message, very good afternoon, Zane. 359 00:20:17,267 --> 00:20:17,667 Speaker 3: How are you? 360 00:20:19,347 --> 00:20:19,547 Speaker 11: Yeah? 361 00:20:19,587 --> 00:20:24,307 Speaker 12: My good look iPhone use today said a Blundle needs 362 00:20:24,307 --> 00:20:26,907 Speaker 12: to go. This was before it was first fall duck 363 00:20:27,627 --> 00:20:31,627 Speaker 12: and I think that just reinforces the fact. I don't 364 00:20:31,747 --> 00:20:36,307 Speaker 12: know what the situation is with but you know the 365 00:20:36,427 --> 00:20:41,547 Speaker 12: squad they name, but this you know, you're playing your 366 00:20:41,587 --> 00:20:46,147 Speaker 12: home You've got to have the ability to debt. Now, yeah, 367 00:20:46,187 --> 00:20:48,947 Speaker 12: maybe it isn't the right call to get Later as 368 00:20:49,107 --> 00:20:53,507 Speaker 12: captain and opener or even Conway to keep. I mean 369 00:20:53,787 --> 00:20:57,347 Speaker 12: they're just not They're just not international testments needed for 370 00:20:57,427 --> 00:21:02,307 Speaker 12: wicket keepers. So so you know it was selectors must 371 00:21:02,347 --> 00:21:04,947 Speaker 12: have the option to go outside the squad. I mean, 372 00:21:05,107 --> 00:21:08,347 Speaker 12: any guy in New Zealand, the wicket keeps for first class, 373 00:21:09,067 --> 00:21:13,107 Speaker 12: that can keep to a high standard and can bat 374 00:21:13,187 --> 00:21:16,307 Speaker 12: a little bit surely has to get the not I'm 375 00:21:16,307 --> 00:21:21,027 Speaker 12: not blaming Bundle for this loss, but he is symptomatic 376 00:21:21,067 --> 00:21:23,787 Speaker 12: of the problem that I feel. I don't know if 377 00:21:23,787 --> 00:21:27,227 Speaker 12: Gary Stead is the huge selector role in New Zealand. 378 00:21:28,227 --> 00:21:32,267 Speaker 12: I christian gary Stead as a coach I do think 379 00:21:32,307 --> 00:21:35,147 Speaker 12: he's a coach in the since that he's he's taken 380 00:21:35,267 --> 00:21:38,307 Speaker 12: bys and showing them how to battle whatever, because he 381 00:21:38,507 --> 00:21:41,787 Speaker 12: was never a great batsman himself, just a pretty dogged 382 00:21:41,867 --> 00:21:44,667 Speaker 12: and dour saw the first class player. And I think 383 00:21:44,667 --> 00:21:48,947 Speaker 12: his selection policies a dogged in Dower and I Christian 384 00:21:49,227 --> 00:21:51,787 Speaker 12: what he's even stiw the coach to be honest, And 385 00:21:51,827 --> 00:21:55,507 Speaker 12: I know that sounds heresy, but my belief is you 386 00:21:55,547 --> 00:21:59,467 Speaker 12: can agree or disagree, is that he's presided over a 387 00:21:59,587 --> 00:22:04,107 Speaker 12: team that has done very well and it's a little 388 00:22:04,107 --> 00:22:07,387 Speaker 12: bit of lucky role for Gary. So I'm saying that 389 00:22:07,667 --> 00:22:11,787 Speaker 12: they've won the will Best Championship, had won that free 390 00:22:11,827 --> 00:22:16,467 Speaker 12: and all series in India Despotodorf, not because of Gary Stead. 391 00:22:16,827 --> 00:22:20,987 Speaker 12: Revenger only made the Test side through injury. The player 392 00:22:21,067 --> 00:22:24,547 Speaker 12: of the series gets dropped. And I know you're always 393 00:22:24,587 --> 00:22:28,187 Speaker 12: going to play the likes of Kine Williamson, but why 394 00:22:28,227 --> 00:22:31,947 Speaker 12: does Tim Salve get to do what David Warner got 395 00:22:31,947 --> 00:22:35,747 Speaker 12: to do last year, which the Aussies cricket fans were ropable. 396 00:22:35,987 --> 00:22:39,387 Speaker 12: What does he get to choose when he retires. Sauvie's 397 00:22:39,427 --> 00:22:41,907 Speaker 12: performance is not up to scratch well, had. 398 00:22:41,827 --> 00:22:43,587 Speaker 3: To get to retire. I think zaying if if you 399 00:22:43,627 --> 00:22:46,027 Speaker 3: are still you know, the best in your position, I 400 00:22:46,027 --> 00:22:48,907 Speaker 3: would say that it is probably debatable at this point 401 00:22:48,907 --> 00:22:51,707 Speaker 3: whether Tim Soalvey is indeed the best in his position. 402 00:22:51,787 --> 00:22:54,787 Speaker 3: We certainly probably haven't seen it in this Test match. 403 00:22:55,107 --> 00:22:59,107 Speaker 3: I tend to agree on the selections. I think they 404 00:22:59,187 --> 00:23:01,827 Speaker 3: have been guilty of being too conservative, especially when the 405 00:23:01,827 --> 00:23:04,667 Speaker 3: wheels began to came off of this team. And I 406 00:23:04,707 --> 00:23:06,947 Speaker 3: mean that in the nicest possible way, but the wheels 407 00:23:06,947 --> 00:23:09,947 Speaker 3: they had were magnificent wheels, but they came off a 408 00:23:09,947 --> 00:23:11,907 Speaker 3: little bit and we're beginning to creak a little bit. 409 00:23:12,387 --> 00:23:14,147 Speaker 3: And I think some of the selection in the last 410 00:23:14,187 --> 00:23:16,867 Speaker 3: eighteen months has just been a little bit too conservative, 411 00:23:17,187 --> 00:23:20,387 Speaker 3: especially when it comes to perhaps those big series, those 412 00:23:20,387 --> 00:23:22,707 Speaker 3: big Test matches and the big limited over series. 413 00:23:23,667 --> 00:23:27,627 Speaker 12: I remember they left Henry who's now our leading pace bowler, 414 00:23:27,707 --> 00:23:30,627 Speaker 12: they left him out of the part of the shrinking 415 00:23:30,747 --> 00:23:35,427 Speaker 12: series they deemed not good enough to lead. Albeit you 416 00:23:35,467 --> 00:23:38,667 Speaker 12: have a smaller pace attick there in sub continent, but 417 00:23:38,987 --> 00:23:41,147 Speaker 12: he wasn't good He wasn't then good enough to play. 418 00:23:41,547 --> 00:23:45,187 Speaker 12: So yeah, I'm sorry, Getty Steed is not up to 419 00:23:45,227 --> 00:23:48,067 Speaker 12: the mark. It can't be the law of the land 420 00:23:48,067 --> 00:23:51,947 Speaker 12: that you can't go outside the squad. Blundele cannot play 421 00:23:51,987 --> 00:23:56,907 Speaker 12: the next Test. And yeah, look despite how poor we've played, 422 00:23:58,027 --> 00:24:01,427 Speaker 12: you know, we take Halfway's catches and England probably only 423 00:24:01,467 --> 00:24:04,467 Speaker 12: get par or even I have one hundred one deficit. 424 00:24:04,587 --> 00:24:07,827 Speaker 12: It really annoys me, mate, because I love that clear 425 00:24:07,867 --> 00:24:10,787 Speaker 12: on that rang after me yesterday said I'm a twenty guy. Mate, 426 00:24:10,787 --> 00:24:14,267 Speaker 12: if was he had never heard me, never saw another 427 00:24:14,307 --> 00:24:16,467 Speaker 12: tee to the game in my life, I couldn't give 428 00:24:16,507 --> 00:24:21,267 Speaker 12: a job. I'm a Test cricket fan and it's absolutely ridiculous. 429 00:24:21,267 --> 00:24:24,747 Speaker 12: We're only playing two tests at home next year. Surely, 430 00:24:25,387 --> 00:24:28,307 Speaker 12: surely that's a misprint. But we can we can win 431 00:24:28,347 --> 00:24:32,787 Speaker 12: the series. We can win the series. Start taking your catches, 432 00:24:33,747 --> 00:24:36,787 Speaker 12: start thinking about your game and not throwing your wick 433 00:24:36,827 --> 00:24:40,987 Speaker 12: it away with inner. You know, we we can win it. 434 00:24:41,067 --> 00:24:43,387 Speaker 12: And I oh my god, I job Smith. 435 00:24:44,307 --> 00:24:44,587 Speaker 13: Sorry. 436 00:24:44,627 --> 00:24:50,147 Speaker 12: If it's a choice between Smith and Selvey, If if 437 00:24:50,827 --> 00:24:54,547 Speaker 12: the spinner cups Sat and that comes back in, they've 438 00:24:54,587 --> 00:24:58,467 Speaker 12: got to they've got to put charity window. And Smith 439 00:24:58,507 --> 00:24:59,987 Speaker 12: has got a bit about him as far as I'm 440 00:25:00,027 --> 00:25:03,627 Speaker 12: comes in, and he's he's surely informed. Has to play 441 00:25:03,707 --> 00:25:06,027 Speaker 12: head to sound, so mate, we can win. I'm not 442 00:25:06,147 --> 00:25:08,107 Speaker 12: there cast a net. See we can cut back and 443 00:25:08,147 --> 00:25:11,747 Speaker 12: win the series two to one. But still it doesn't 444 00:25:11,747 --> 00:25:15,227 Speaker 12: excuse some of the woeful selections in the work of catching. 445 00:25:15,147 --> 00:25:16,987 Speaker 3: Nice tear from you as always saying thank you for 446 00:25:17,027 --> 00:25:19,427 Speaker 3: your call eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two 447 00:25:19,467 --> 00:25:22,227 Speaker 3: nine two for a text message, and there are buckets 448 00:25:22,227 --> 00:25:26,787 Speaker 3: of test text messages. Excuse me that I'll read once 449 00:25:26,787 --> 00:25:29,267 Speaker 3: He's Saldy, not a team player, only out for glory 450 00:25:29,267 --> 00:25:33,627 Speaker 3: for himself. Time he left. That's from Brian another see 451 00:25:33,747 --> 00:25:36,667 Speaker 3: is this Here's what I would do? Will Young comes in, 452 00:25:36,747 --> 00:25:40,587 Speaker 3: Conway drops to six and Latham and Will Young share 453 00:25:40,627 --> 00:25:45,747 Speaker 3: the keeping. Why does one person have to keep? Never thought, 454 00:25:45,747 --> 00:25:47,507 Speaker 3: I don't don't know that Will Young's done much we 455 00:25:47,627 --> 00:25:50,827 Speaker 3: can keeping in his career. But why does one person 456 00:25:50,827 --> 00:25:52,587 Speaker 3: have to keep b Mac change the way of batting. 457 00:25:52,587 --> 00:25:54,627 Speaker 3: Why do we have to have one keeper that way? 458 00:25:54,867 --> 00:25:59,507 Speaker 3: Keep both fresh? Well, you got Glenn Phillips, he can keep, Devin, 459 00:25:59,547 --> 00:26:02,787 Speaker 3: Conway can keep, Tom, Latham can keep. 460 00:26:04,067 --> 00:26:04,227 Speaker 5: Try. 461 00:26:04,267 --> 00:26:05,627 Speaker 3: I think there might be another keeper in there that 462 00:26:05,627 --> 00:26:09,267 Speaker 3: they can They can rotator around four of them through 463 00:26:09,307 --> 00:26:12,707 Speaker 3: the team that comed is mean, they're probably exhausted and 464 00:26:12,747 --> 00:26:14,507 Speaker 3: need a break. I'm not sure what that was about, 465 00:26:14,547 --> 00:26:19,147 Speaker 3: but let's move on. Nine two nine to two, big difference, 466 00:26:19,147 --> 00:26:23,547 Speaker 3: big selection era. No will Young says another and Lance 467 00:26:23,667 --> 00:26:26,107 Speaker 3: says the black Hats batting and bowling has been fine. 468 00:26:26,147 --> 00:26:29,547 Speaker 3: Eight drop catches is appalling. If it wasn't for the dropsies, 469 00:26:29,587 --> 00:26:31,867 Speaker 3: the Test would have been a much closer deal. Thank 470 00:26:31,867 --> 00:26:33,267 Speaker 3: you very much for your text. There's a couple more 471 00:26:33,787 --> 00:26:35,267 Speaker 3: there I'll get to. In fact, i'll read this one 472 00:26:35,267 --> 00:26:36,747 Speaker 3: from Mars before we take a break from the text. 473 00:26:37,187 --> 00:26:40,787 Speaker 3: Muzz That's what really pisses me off about Saudi. He 474 00:26:40,827 --> 00:26:42,707 Speaker 3: never respects his wicket. We all know he's going to 475 00:26:42,707 --> 00:26:45,187 Speaker 3: go out there and play T twenty Mars. Well, it's 476 00:26:45,227 --> 00:26:46,507 Speaker 3: going to be interesting to see whether he has another 477 00:26:46,787 --> 00:26:49,947 Speaker 3: Test innings in him. At this point in time. New 478 00:26:50,027 --> 00:26:52,067 Speaker 3: Zealand two hundred and twenty five for nine. It's the 479 00:26:52,147 --> 00:26:55,587 Speaker 3: lead of seventy four. Darryl Mitchell is on sixty, Willow 480 00:26:55,747 --> 00:27:00,667 Speaker 3: Rourke one off sixteen. At the moment, England's searching for 481 00:27:00,667 --> 00:27:03,747 Speaker 3: that last wicket to wrap up the New Zealand innings. 482 00:27:04,667 --> 00:27:06,947 Speaker 3: A couple of flashpoints, haven't there been in the Test match. 483 00:27:08,187 --> 00:27:10,547 Speaker 3: I think back to just after lunch on Day two, 484 00:27:11,867 --> 00:27:16,587 Speaker 3: England was seventy for four. They get another wicket there, 485 00:27:16,627 --> 00:27:20,587 Speaker 3: the black Caps put that partnership under a bit of pressure. 486 00:27:22,547 --> 00:27:26,907 Speaker 3: Then things change drastically in this Test match. Even if 487 00:27:26,947 --> 00:27:30,067 Speaker 3: you excuse and put aside all the drop catches, they 488 00:27:30,107 --> 00:27:32,027 Speaker 3: were right in at that point. They get that wicket, 489 00:27:32,067 --> 00:27:35,947 Speaker 3: they take the catch there, get a wicket five down, 490 00:27:36,307 --> 00:27:42,307 Speaker 3: another one yesterday afternoon as well, batting along, partnership developing 491 00:27:42,987 --> 00:27:49,747 Speaker 3: between revenge Drip sorry Williamson and uh and Revenger in 492 00:27:49,787 --> 00:27:55,707 Speaker 3: the second innings. Then Williamson goes, Blundle goes. In the 493 00:27:55,747 --> 00:28:02,427 Speaker 3: space of two balls, go from being three down to 494 00:28:02,467 --> 00:28:05,547 Speaker 3: being five down, Williamson and Mitchell putting on runs together. 495 00:28:07,547 --> 00:28:12,067 Speaker 3: Blundle goes and there are a bit of trouble. Oh 496 00:28:12,067 --> 00:28:13,747 Speaker 3: eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine 497 00:28:13,787 --> 00:28:15,467 Speaker 3: two for a text message, love to hear from you. 498 00:28:16,067 --> 00:28:18,267 Speaker 3: As the black Caps continue to bat on, having a 499 00:28:18,307 --> 00:28:20,507 Speaker 3: look at the ball, I think at the moment, just 500 00:28:20,547 --> 00:28:25,227 Speaker 3: to see well shape that ballers in England bring on 501 00:28:25,267 --> 00:28:26,827 Speaker 3: a spin it as well, to try and get this 502 00:28:26,947 --> 00:28:29,827 Speaker 3: last New Zealand wicket. One more text before the break, 503 00:28:30,867 --> 00:28:33,267 Speaker 3: Gary says this, Hi, there should be two changes in 504 00:28:33,307 --> 00:28:36,707 Speaker 3: the next test, Saudi and Blundle, come on stead make 505 00:28:36,747 --> 00:28:38,707 Speaker 3: them more of your texts and calls after the break 506 00:28:38,747 --> 00:28:41,307 Speaker 3: here on news Talk ZEB twenty three away. 507 00:28:41,027 --> 00:28:45,787 Speaker 1: From one, The big issues on and after field call 508 00:28:46,067 --> 00:28:49,947 Speaker 1: eight hundred eighty ten eighty with GJ. Gunnos, New Zealand's 509 00:28:49,947 --> 00:28:51,747 Speaker 1: most trusted home builder, News. 510 00:28:51,507 --> 00:28:56,587 Speaker 3: Talk zby twenty away from one on news Talk ZB 511 00:28:56,827 --> 00:28:59,187 Speaker 3: a couple of more texts. On the cricket front, Pall 512 00:28:59,227 --> 00:29:01,947 Speaker 3: says this Saudi should be second drop with the new ball. 513 00:29:01,987 --> 00:29:04,227 Speaker 3: We need the pace of Henry and O'Rourke. The biggest 514 00:29:04,227 --> 00:29:07,387 Speaker 3: problem with New Zealand cricket. We picked play that are 515 00:29:07,427 --> 00:29:12,187 Speaker 3: well passed their bests. I couldn't quite fathom white. Tim 516 00:29:12,267 --> 00:29:15,627 Speaker 3: Salley opened the ball and I suppose he's done that 517 00:29:15,667 --> 00:29:17,947 Speaker 3: through the majority of his Test career, but if you're 518 00:29:17,947 --> 00:29:19,827 Speaker 3: don't have him in the eleven, it just didn't quite 519 00:29:19,867 --> 00:29:24,627 Speaker 3: feel like the most fearsome opening partnership with the ball 520 00:29:24,867 --> 00:29:28,507 Speaker 3: that Mu Zealm might have been able to roll out. 521 00:29:31,427 --> 00:29:33,107 Speaker 3: Socker Couble, We'll get some O to him. South here 522 00:29:33,147 --> 00:29:35,307 Speaker 3: just just feels I know he's playing his last series, 523 00:29:35,347 --> 00:29:39,907 Speaker 3: but time might have moved on a little bit, Jeff 524 00:29:40,467 --> 00:29:43,027 Speaker 3: with this. What was Revender thinking when he went for 525 00:29:43,067 --> 00:29:45,427 Speaker 3: the slog. You're batting with one of the world's best 526 00:29:45,427 --> 00:29:47,787 Speaker 3: in Cain, and plenty of time, and your team needs 527 00:29:47,787 --> 00:29:50,307 Speaker 3: you to occupy basics and common sense and our openers 528 00:29:50,307 --> 00:29:56,427 Speaker 3: are too inconsistent and yes catchers, I agree Jeff. That 529 00:29:56,427 --> 00:29:58,507 Speaker 3: I mean, as I mentioned before the break, that Test 530 00:29:59,627 --> 00:30:02,867 Speaker 3: was almost in the balance again. Yesterday afternoon, the black 531 00:30:02,867 --> 00:30:06,307 Speaker 3: Caps had fought their way back into the Test match, 532 00:30:06,467 --> 00:30:13,387 Speaker 3: closing in on parity. Ravendra gets out for what the 533 00:30:13,387 --> 00:30:16,427 Speaker 3: third wicket to fall sixty four for three. They put 534 00:30:16,427 --> 00:30:20,547 Speaker 3: on a few more runs came Williamson. Now at four down, 535 00:30:21,347 --> 00:30:26,507 Speaker 3: Blundle goes quickly five down. Just once they've managed to 536 00:30:26,507 --> 00:30:30,227 Speaker 3: get a foothold again in this Test match, they just 537 00:30:30,267 --> 00:30:37,987 Speaker 3: lost it again. And it's the frustrating thing about this team, Dennis, 538 00:30:37,987 --> 00:30:39,907 Speaker 3: with this one, high Elliott, the black Caps are a 539 00:30:39,947 --> 00:30:43,787 Speaker 3: team in potential crisis. The series win over India was 540 00:30:43,827 --> 00:30:47,027 Speaker 3: an aberration. India lost the series with a series of 541 00:30:47,067 --> 00:30:50,187 Speaker 3: mysterious decisions, starting with the coin toss in the first Test. 542 00:30:50,467 --> 00:30:52,867 Speaker 3: Conway needs to go back to domestic cricket. Blundle the 543 00:30:52,907 --> 00:30:55,747 Speaker 3: same and sorry Southea's in the team purely on a motion. 544 00:30:55,827 --> 00:30:58,027 Speaker 3: A good player in his time, but not now suffers 545 00:30:58,027 --> 00:31:00,267 Speaker 3: to say no only above what happened. The selectors are 546 00:31:00,307 --> 00:31:04,387 Speaker 3: too timid to make changes radical or otherwise. Thanks Dennis, 547 00:31:04,387 --> 00:31:09,027 Speaker 3: appreciate the text. Another one with this from Teep Saalia's 548 00:31:09,027 --> 00:31:10,827 Speaker 3: a blinker. He could have applied himself and also got 549 00:31:10,827 --> 00:31:15,947 Speaker 3: Mitchell to his fifty. His very self arrogant, selfish player. 550 00:31:15,947 --> 00:31:18,067 Speaker 3: I mean, that's been the frustrating thing. I mean, the 551 00:31:18,107 --> 00:31:19,987 Speaker 3: best thing for Tim Sally's batting would be if he 552 00:31:20,027 --> 00:31:22,427 Speaker 3: never got that seventy six in his first Test match 553 00:31:22,947 --> 00:31:24,827 Speaker 3: in two thousand and eight, because it kind of gave 554 00:31:24,867 --> 00:31:27,147 Speaker 3: an ear that he knew what he was doing with 555 00:31:27,227 --> 00:31:31,267 Speaker 3: bat in hand, very very good when it comes to 556 00:31:31,427 --> 00:31:34,907 Speaker 3: hitting sixes, and now we've come to expect it of it. 557 00:31:35,027 --> 00:31:37,467 Speaker 3: We thought, yep, there's a player that can hold an 558 00:31:37,587 --> 00:31:40,987 Speaker 3: end at the bottom of the order. Never quite eventuated 559 00:31:41,467 --> 00:31:46,427 Speaker 3: in that regard. Can belt a six though. But the 560 00:31:46,427 --> 00:31:51,507 Speaker 3: frustrating thing is that we believe that he's better than 561 00:31:51,547 --> 00:31:54,947 Speaker 3: what he's been able to show with that so far 562 00:31:54,987 --> 00:31:57,427 Speaker 3: in his career, well so far his career is about 563 00:31:57,467 --> 00:31:59,747 Speaker 3: to come to an end, isn't it a couple more 564 00:31:59,747 --> 00:32:02,067 Speaker 3: texts I'll get to in a moment. Let's go to 565 00:32:02,107 --> 00:32:05,747 Speaker 3: Hackleoval though, and the black Caps continuing to bat on 566 00:32:06,027 --> 00:32:08,227 Speaker 3: Andrew orders in a very good afternoon to you at 567 00:32:08,227 --> 00:32:11,867 Speaker 3: Hagley Oval, Mitchell and Iraq digging in. 568 00:32:13,467 --> 00:32:15,827 Speaker 14: Well, that's right, Elliott and doing good job. But at 569 00:32:15,827 --> 00:32:18,387 Speaker 14: the moment I walk on two from twenty two deliveries 570 00:32:18,547 --> 00:32:21,667 Speaker 14: Mitchell sixty five from one hundred and forty five. He's 571 00:32:21,707 --> 00:32:24,987 Speaker 14: even two hundred and thirty one for nine, Chris Folkes 572 00:32:24,987 --> 00:32:27,027 Speaker 14: in the attack economic three for forty eight from his 573 00:32:27,307 --> 00:32:30,387 Speaker 14: fifteen point four hours. I guess more importantly, he's he 574 00:32:30,507 --> 00:32:33,187 Speaker 14: on now with that eighty run lead. So England would 575 00:32:33,227 --> 00:32:36,467 Speaker 14: require eighty one to win if indeed they get the 576 00:32:36,467 --> 00:32:39,867 Speaker 14: opportunity over the course of this afternoon. So we'll wait 577 00:32:39,907 --> 00:32:41,027 Speaker 14: and see on that front. 578 00:32:41,227 --> 00:32:42,587 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I think that you look at the back 579 00:32:42,587 --> 00:32:44,787 Speaker 3: Caps dore On. Mitchell's stood up with the bat and 580 00:32:44,867 --> 00:32:47,067 Speaker 3: the second innings, hasn't He hasn't had a lot of 581 00:32:47,107 --> 00:32:50,147 Speaker 3: support around him in recent times. 582 00:32:50,787 --> 00:32:53,227 Speaker 14: No, he hasn't. And earlier on today because we saw 583 00:32:53,307 --> 00:32:57,507 Speaker 14: the Nathan Smith and LBW too, Brydon cast for twenty one, 584 00:32:57,747 --> 00:33:00,227 Speaker 14: Matt Henry l ww the cast for one as well. 585 00:33:00,547 --> 00:33:02,987 Speaker 14: Tim's now the adding and couple of six is there 586 00:33:02,987 --> 00:33:06,147 Speaker 14: getting to twelve on that list where he's moved up 587 00:33:06,147 --> 00:33:08,747 Speaker 14: to on the table, He's got ninety five sixes across 588 00:33:08,787 --> 00:33:11,747 Speaker 14: his one hundred and five test career. How eliot he's 589 00:33:11,867 --> 00:33:14,107 Speaker 14: moved fast. I guess he had already moved past with 590 00:33:14,187 --> 00:33:16,267 Speaker 14: very the saywag and seven. Just to put some context 591 00:33:16,347 --> 00:33:18,547 Speaker 14: around that, I think Ben Stokes in first of the 592 00:33:18,587 --> 00:33:21,587 Speaker 14: hundred and thirty one, Ben Brendan McCallum one hundred and seven, 593 00:33:21,587 --> 00:33:24,387 Speaker 14: and he's tracking down there with two tests agar in 594 00:33:24,387 --> 00:33:27,707 Speaker 14: his career, the likes of Adam Gilchrist and Chris Gale 595 00:33:27,867 --> 00:33:28,667 Speaker 14: and Jaque Hellis. 596 00:33:29,867 --> 00:33:31,627 Speaker 3: Would it be clinging on too much to say if 597 00:33:31,627 --> 00:33:33,507 Speaker 3: the black Caps can get a lead of one hundred, 598 00:33:33,547 --> 00:33:37,307 Speaker 3: at least there's something there. It's a bowl at on 599 00:33:37,347 --> 00:33:41,307 Speaker 3: this on this deck and try and deny England, perhaps 600 00:33:41,347 --> 00:33:42,427 Speaker 3: a straightfall victory. 601 00:33:43,747 --> 00:33:46,867 Speaker 14: Look I'm thinking of I think one hundred and fifty minimum. 602 00:33:47,307 --> 00:33:49,747 Speaker 14: I think if you really want to boil it down, 603 00:33:49,827 --> 00:33:52,147 Speaker 14: I mean, it looks pretty good for batting out there 604 00:33:52,187 --> 00:33:55,587 Speaker 14: at the moment. Smith and I'm thinking that given the 605 00:33:55,627 --> 00:33:58,587 Speaker 14: power in England order, they'll be attacking that pretty quickly 606 00:33:58,627 --> 00:34:01,947 Speaker 14: if they do get the opportunity. One little issue that 607 00:34:01,987 --> 00:34:03,387 Speaker 14: has come up over the course of the day that 608 00:34:03,507 --> 00:34:05,987 Speaker 14: Ben Stokes suffering some for of injury. We're not quite 609 00:34:05,987 --> 00:34:09,107 Speaker 14: sure what that is, but midway through his seventh over, 610 00:34:09,147 --> 00:34:12,027 Speaker 14: so he's a bold six point three and then the 611 00:34:12,107 --> 00:34:15,947 Speaker 14: oak was taken over later on, I think by Gus Atkinson. 612 00:34:16,507 --> 00:34:19,347 Speaker 14: So for some reason he's pulled out of the buying. 613 00:34:19,387 --> 00:34:21,027 Speaker 14: So I'm not sure what that means for his tour. 614 00:34:21,067 --> 00:34:22,747 Speaker 14: At the stage he's still out there in the field, 615 00:34:23,547 --> 00:34:26,027 Speaker 14: but I think that yeah, he's hell were able to 616 00:34:26,067 --> 00:34:28,067 Speaker 14: get to the one hundred and trusty run Leabel, Yeah, 617 00:34:28,067 --> 00:34:30,787 Speaker 14: that's runs on the board and you'd think, well, there 618 00:34:30,867 --> 00:34:31,907 Speaker 14: might just be a bit of a sniff. 619 00:34:32,947 --> 00:34:33,147 Speaker 12: Look. 620 00:34:33,187 --> 00:34:35,707 Speaker 3: It's hard to say, isn't it. But I suppose as 621 00:34:35,707 --> 00:34:38,707 Speaker 3: long as they're playing at the grease and adding and 622 00:34:38,787 --> 00:34:40,947 Speaker 3: chipping away and trying to add these runs, you know, 623 00:34:41,067 --> 00:34:44,187 Speaker 3: Darryl Mitchell certainly capable of holding down an end. Will 624 00:34:44,187 --> 00:34:47,867 Speaker 3: Owra perhaps less so. The more strike Daryl Mitchell has 625 00:34:47,907 --> 00:34:51,507 Speaker 3: the better orders. 626 00:34:50,387 --> 00:34:53,067 Speaker 14: I think, so hometown boyn out here in christ it's 627 00:34:53,107 --> 00:34:56,907 Speaker 14: just Darrel Mitchell and I think, yeah, he's had a 628 00:34:56,947 --> 00:34:59,587 Speaker 14: tremendous job of loosing the town already and he spent 629 00:34:59,627 --> 00:35:02,187 Speaker 14: it really well on this inning, getting through the sixty 630 00:35:02,267 --> 00:35:04,907 Speaker 14: six at the present time and just worked another single 631 00:35:04,947 --> 00:35:07,227 Speaker 14: into the leg side as we looking for two but 632 00:35:07,827 --> 00:35:10,547 Speaker 14: unable to get it. So then'll e thinct that takes 633 00:35:10,587 --> 00:35:13,467 Speaker 14: him to sixty six now two thirty two for nine. 634 00:35:13,827 --> 00:35:16,867 Speaker 14: But he's got a really responsible job at Mitchell and 635 00:35:17,307 --> 00:35:19,307 Speaker 14: he's work the ball around according and played a few 636 00:35:19,307 --> 00:35:22,587 Speaker 14: shots now with O'Rourke the last man at the crease, 637 00:35:22,707 --> 00:35:25,227 Speaker 14: but Oroke hanging in there as we speak. 638 00:35:25,027 --> 00:35:27,347 Speaker 3: He has indeed. Andrew Ordison, appreciate your time as always 639 00:35:27,347 --> 00:35:28,947 Speaker 3: from Hagley Oval. We'll catch up again soon. 640 00:35:29,707 --> 00:35:32,107 Speaker 14: Absolutely, we'll have a bit more of a context I 641 00:35:32,107 --> 00:35:35,987 Speaker 14: think around it. If something's continues now then you may 642 00:35:36,267 --> 00:35:38,467 Speaker 14: yet maybe they can put some pressure who knows, but 643 00:35:38,587 --> 00:35:40,347 Speaker 14: certainly England dominating at the stace. 644 00:35:40,427 --> 00:35:40,627 Speaker 15: Really. 645 00:35:40,787 --> 00:35:44,227 Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Andrew Ortison, Cricket correspondent at Hagley 646 00:35:44,347 --> 00:35:47,587 Speaker 3: Oval in christ Church. As you heard there black Caps 647 00:35:47,627 --> 00:35:51,147 Speaker 3: continuing to bat on muzz with this. Wouldn't it be 648 00:35:51,147 --> 00:35:53,427 Speaker 3: amazing if A Rourke said to Mitchell, mate' stick around. 649 00:35:53,467 --> 00:35:56,427 Speaker 3: That's helped me get to one hundred. And that's what 650 00:35:56,467 --> 00:35:58,467 Speaker 3: Sally should have done being a senior player. Remember he 651 00:35:58,507 --> 00:36:00,707 Speaker 3: did that to Taylor in Australia. I think denying Taylor 652 00:36:01,107 --> 00:36:06,107 Speaker 3: three hundred. Never forgotten that. Thank you very much, Muzzy. 653 00:36:06,467 --> 00:36:08,147 Speaker 3: A bit of application, don't you. I suppose at this 654 00:36:08,187 --> 00:36:11,667 Speaker 3: point of the innings you can probably guess the Test 655 00:36:11,667 --> 00:36:15,147 Speaker 3: match is gone barring some big partnership here pushing New 656 00:36:15,227 --> 00:36:18,267 Speaker 3: Zealand to one point fifty two hundred, and then maybe 657 00:36:18,267 --> 00:36:21,827 Speaker 3: they've got something to bowl at, he says, clinging at straws, 658 00:36:22,427 --> 00:36:26,907 Speaker 3: clutching at straws. But you just want some application, something 659 00:36:26,907 --> 00:36:31,107 Speaker 3: to take to the basin reserve for the second Test match. 660 00:36:32,107 --> 00:36:34,707 Speaker 3: Something you go, yep, we held up to this England attack. 661 00:36:35,067 --> 00:36:42,427 Speaker 3: At least the lower order was able to do. Hasn't 662 00:36:42,427 --> 00:36:44,067 Speaker 3: always been the case in this Test match though. The 663 00:36:44,067 --> 00:36:47,467 Speaker 3: application from the black Caps, as we have discussed this 664 00:36:47,547 --> 00:36:50,907 Speaker 3: hour on the program, oh eight hundred and eighty ten 665 00:36:50,947 --> 00:36:56,467 Speaker 3: eighty nine two nine two for a text message, is 666 00:36:56,507 --> 00:37:02,707 Speaker 3: this an aberration or was the Indian series an aberration? 667 00:37:02,827 --> 00:37:06,507 Speaker 3: From the black Caps perspective, because it feels like one 668 00:37:06,587 --> 00:37:07,907 Speaker 3: or the other. To be honest with you, I know 669 00:37:09,027 --> 00:37:10,747 Speaker 3: you can lose Test matches, you can have one of 670 00:37:10,827 --> 00:37:15,267 Speaker 3: poor performances. But what we've seen from the black Caps 671 00:37:15,307 --> 00:37:17,187 Speaker 3: in this Test match has been symptomatic of some of 672 00:37:17,187 --> 00:37:21,147 Speaker 3: their recent performances, especially you know, she Lanka was poor 673 00:37:22,627 --> 00:37:28,947 Speaker 3: last summer, some poor results as well, poor performances. India 674 00:37:29,387 --> 00:37:35,307 Speaker 3: increasingly feeling like one out of the box. We just 675 00:37:35,307 --> 00:37:41,147 Speaker 3: don't really explanation for as great as it was, as 676 00:37:41,267 --> 00:37:46,547 Speaker 3: enjoyable as that three mil series was, I just don't 677 00:37:46,587 --> 00:37:48,627 Speaker 3: think we've got an explanation as to how on earth 678 00:37:49,427 --> 00:37:53,307 Speaker 3: that happened. Ten away from one weekend Sport News Talks. 679 00:37:53,307 --> 00:37:57,587 Speaker 1: V analyzing every view from every angle in the sporting world. 680 00:37:57,707 --> 00:37:59,187 Speaker 1: Weekend Sports Call. 681 00:38:00,707 --> 00:38:06,907 Speaker 3: News Talks closing in on lunch at Hagleyoval and and 682 00:38:06,947 --> 00:38:10,227 Speaker 3: again the black Caps, Daryl Mitchell and willow' rourke putting 683 00:38:10,267 --> 00:38:14,707 Speaker 3: a high price on their wicket. This last wicket stand 684 00:38:15,107 --> 00:38:19,467 Speaker 3: continuing to grow from a black CAP's perspective. Eighty two 685 00:38:19,627 --> 00:38:22,187 Speaker 3: now the lead for New Zealand two hundred and thirty 686 00:38:22,267 --> 00:38:25,627 Speaker 3: three for nine. Mitchell is not out sixty seven. Willow rourke, 687 00:38:26,107 --> 00:38:29,267 Speaker 3: who is a genuine tail ender, is not out two 688 00:38:29,347 --> 00:38:32,707 Speaker 3: of twenty eight delivery, so the black Caps showing but 689 00:38:32,867 --> 00:38:36,147 Speaker 3: a start bit of sustenance right at the tale of 690 00:38:37,667 --> 00:38:45,147 Speaker 3: listenings partnership now is twenty four runs for the last wicket, 691 00:38:45,587 --> 00:38:48,107 Speaker 3: So just frustrating the England bowlers a little bit and 692 00:38:49,347 --> 00:38:52,467 Speaker 3: look cling to whatever you can at this point in time. 693 00:38:52,507 --> 00:38:54,147 Speaker 3: But if they can take it to lunch without losing 694 00:38:54,187 --> 00:38:57,507 Speaker 3: this last wicket, that's something again in this Test match. 695 00:38:57,507 --> 00:39:04,107 Speaker 3: A couple more texts from Tim Sow. He is selfish 696 00:39:04,107 --> 00:39:06,147 Speaker 3: and arrogant. He could have occupied Ben Stokes play a 697 00:39:06,187 --> 00:39:09,387 Speaker 3: cat and it's not. We will get whitewashed in the series. 698 00:39:09,467 --> 00:39:15,787 Speaker 3: India is an outlier. This team has issues. Mike Elliott. 699 00:39:15,827 --> 00:39:18,027 Speaker 3: We're a tiny country with stuff or cricket as I 700 00:39:18,067 --> 00:39:19,947 Speaker 3: am as happy as a sandboy on the India win 701 00:39:20,307 --> 00:39:23,107 Speaker 3: and we'll long remember it. We can't and won't win everything. Yep, 702 00:39:23,147 --> 00:39:25,987 Speaker 3: the fielding is very disappointing, but it's a bit much 703 00:39:26,027 --> 00:39:30,947 Speaker 3: to say the world has ended. Mike. Appreciate the text message. 704 00:39:30,947 --> 00:39:34,307 Speaker 3: I guess the frustration is that India performance was so 705 00:39:34,467 --> 00:39:38,147 Speaker 3: good that there was an expectation they would come home 706 00:39:38,187 --> 00:39:42,507 Speaker 3: and back it up with a good performance. Against in 707 00:39:43,107 --> 00:39:47,987 Speaker 3: England side that is missing some key players, that is 708 00:39:48,227 --> 00:39:52,347 Speaker 3: relatively inexperience when it comes to Test cricket. They've just 709 00:39:52,347 --> 00:39:55,787 Speaker 3: come off a loss and Pakistan of course as well. 710 00:39:58,387 --> 00:40:00,427 Speaker 3: So I guess that's the frustration, isn't it The performance 711 00:40:01,787 --> 00:40:03,587 Speaker 3: on the back of what we saw in India when 712 00:40:03,627 --> 00:40:06,507 Speaker 3: they come home and play like they have just to 713 00:40:06,507 --> 00:40:10,067 Speaker 3: a little bit disappointing. Can't excheck him to win every time, 714 00:40:12,547 --> 00:40:14,987 Speaker 3: but just the performance of the application this Test matches 715 00:40:15,027 --> 00:40:19,107 Speaker 3: has been frustrating for me.

Ireland win 786 00:44:41,307 --> 00:44:43,747 Speaker 3: it though in Australia though you have to say that 787 00:44:43,867 --> 00:44:47,467 Speaker 3: they are building. I know they lost to Scotland rather 788 00:44:47,507 --> 00:44:49,547 Speaker 3: comfortably last week, but you look at that tour and 789 00:44:49,587 --> 00:44:52,787 Speaker 3: go twelve months ago after that World Cup shocker, they 790 00:44:52,827 --> 00:44:55,747 Speaker 3: would have taken it.

James, I know you're covering this one. 797 00:45:19,627 --> 00:45:23,267 Speaker 3: What was your reaction to that game at the Avivah. 798 00:45:23,347 --> 00:45:25,067 Speaker 9: I was mighty close towards the end. 799 00:45:25,827 --> 00:45:30,347 Speaker 17: I was really impressed with Australia's defense today. I felt 800 00:45:30,347 --> 00:45:32,747 Speaker 17: that that had been their achilles heel probably for much 801 00:45:32,787 --> 00:45:36,427 Speaker 17: of twenty twenty four. But whatever Schmid's been doing with them, 802 00:45:36,467 --> 00:45:40,067 Speaker 17: working on defense, it's really really working, and they just 803 00:45:40,147 --> 00:45:42,707 Speaker 17: look so free in the first half, They look so creative, 804 00:45:43,667 --> 00:45:46,867 Speaker 17: and they really What he has done to Australia in 805 00:45:46,947 --> 00:45:50,667 Speaker 17: twelve months is extraordinary and it just makes the Lion 806 00:45:50,827 --> 00:45:54,227 Speaker 17: series an eight months time. Just it's come alive that 807 00:45:54,347 --> 00:45:57,347 Speaker 17: series now, you know, months ago we were worried. Everyone 808 00:45:57,387 --> 00:45:58,507 Speaker 17: was worried about that series. 809 00:45:58,747 --> 00:46:00,427 Speaker 9: Not anymore, Christy. 810 00:46:00,507 --> 00:46:03,027 Speaker 3: Your reaction from an Australian perspective glass half full. 811 00:46:04,307 --> 00:46:05,107 Speaker 11: Oh definitely. 812 00:46:05,187 --> 00:46:08,307 Speaker 4: You think of it where the wall were twelve thirteen 813 00:46:08,347 --> 00:46:12,547 Speaker 4: months ago. Eddie Jones walks out on Australian rugby. The 814 00:46:12,587 --> 00:46:18,427 Speaker 4: Wallaby is the absolute canvas rock bottom and I completely agree. 815 00:46:18,627 --> 00:46:23,267 Speaker 4: Joe Schmidt has totally just brought back some confidence and 816 00:46:23,347 --> 00:46:26,027 Speaker 4: I think actually returned the Wallabies to their roots. The 817 00:46:26,107 --> 00:46:29,267 Speaker 4: desire for the Wallabies to run the ball is there, 818 00:46:29,387 --> 00:46:32,747 Speaker 4: but I do agree, I think the defensive effort was there. 819 00:46:32,867 --> 00:46:37,387 Speaker 4: This morning, Ireland had seventy four percent of territory, fifty 820 00:46:37,467 --> 00:46:40,307 Speaker 4: nine percent of possession and it took him to a 821 00:46:40,667 --> 00:46:43,467 Speaker 4: seventy second minute to really flex their muscle. 822 00:46:43,427 --> 00:46:45,307 Speaker 11: And gain an incendency in the game. 823 00:46:45,467 --> 00:46:48,827 Speaker 4: So Joe Schmidt, whatever you can do to keep him 824 00:46:48,867 --> 00:46:50,227 Speaker 4: Rugby Australia. 825 00:46:50,147 --> 00:46:52,467 Speaker 11: And I had an extra five hundred. 826 00:46:52,307 --> 00:46:56,227 Speaker 4: K to keep him because he has absolutely changed the 827 00:46:56,267 --> 00:46:59,427 Speaker 4: game in a space of twelve months. And now the 828 00:46:59,507 --> 00:47:02,107 Speaker 4: Lions is going to be the show piece of end 829 00:47:02,147 --> 00:47:03,947 Speaker 4: of rugby in twenty twenty five. 830 00:47:04,267 --> 00:47:07,627 Speaker 3: Christy, you're well connicted as Joe Shmith actually going to stay. 831 00:47:08,947 --> 00:47:11,787 Speaker 11: My thoughts are it's less likely than more. 832 00:47:12,107 --> 00:47:14,507 Speaker 4: I was told six seven weeks ago that he and 833 00:47:14,547 --> 00:47:17,427 Speaker 4: Mike Kron am more likely to finish up after the Lions. 834 00:47:18,107 --> 00:47:21,907 Speaker 4: That was a pretty good source. Look, I think it'll 835 00:47:21,987 --> 00:47:24,067 Speaker 4: be difficult for him to stay. You know, we know 836 00:47:24,107 --> 00:47:28,067 Speaker 4: about his family situation with his kid having epilepses, so 837 00:47:28,787 --> 00:47:30,707 Speaker 4: I don't think this will come down to a jugment 838 00:47:30,787 --> 00:47:32,187 Speaker 4: wanting to walk out on the Wallabies. 839 00:47:32,347 --> 00:47:35,387 Speaker 11: It's really going to be a family call. Can he change? 840 00:47:35,507 --> 00:47:37,107 Speaker 11: Can possibly? 841 00:47:37,187 --> 00:47:39,867 Speaker 4: Can things be done to allow for a Joe Schmitt 842 00:47:39,907 --> 00:47:41,707 Speaker 4: to stay in Australia as much as possible? 843 00:47:42,027 --> 00:47:44,667 Speaker 11: Possibly, But we also know that Joe Schmitt's a guy. 844 00:47:44,507 --> 00:47:48,347 Speaker 4: That loves to be integrated into the Super rugby sides, 845 00:47:48,467 --> 00:47:51,067 Speaker 4: work with the provinces, and I don't know if he'll 846 00:47:51,067 --> 00:47:54,627 Speaker 4: be able to do everything and that's a concern for 847 00:47:54,667 --> 00:47:55,147 Speaker 4: the Wallabies. 848 00:47:55,667 --> 00:47:58,387 Speaker 3: James the Northern Hemisphere side is probably a mixed bag 849 00:47:58,427 --> 00:48:01,827 Speaker 3: to end the campaign. Obviously, we know the trouble that 850 00:48:01,867 --> 00:48:06,067 Speaker 3: Wales have been through England very much a disappointing bag 851 00:48:06,107 --> 00:48:08,347 Speaker 3: for them. What have you made of the Northern Hemisphere 852 00:48:08,467 --> 00:48:09,627 Speaker 3: unions in the autumn series? 853 00:48:11,067 --> 00:48:14,787 Speaker 9: It's it's been a pretty chastening time. Let's be honest. 854 00:48:14,827 --> 00:48:17,987 Speaker 17: I think if you're an England rugby fan you're pretty 855 00:48:17,987 --> 00:48:21,467 Speaker 17: despondent about life for a variety of reasons, whether it's 856 00:48:21,587 --> 00:48:24,667 Speaker 17: the coaches off the pitch, the style that England want 857 00:48:24,667 --> 00:48:27,267 Speaker 17: to try and play, the lack of identity. The defense 858 00:48:27,987 --> 00:48:32,267 Speaker 17: has really suffered. If you're Wales, I mean it's even worse. 859 00:48:33,387 --> 00:48:36,667 Speaker 17: You know, they have got so many problems. Warren Gatland 860 00:48:36,907 --> 00:48:38,587 Speaker 17: doesn't really know where he wants to stay or go, 861 00:48:38,627 --> 00:48:41,987 Speaker 17: whether that will be his choice. Nobody knows. The state 862 00:48:42,067 --> 00:48:45,027 Speaker 17: of the game in Wales is in crisis. Scotland, I 863 00:48:45,027 --> 00:48:47,587 Speaker 17: think are the other bright things. So to France, I 864 00:48:47,667 --> 00:48:51,187 Speaker 17: think Scotland and France have certainly kicked on. I think 865 00:48:51,387 --> 00:48:54,027 Speaker 17: France have looked good in patches. 866 00:48:54,067 --> 00:48:56,067 Speaker 9: They were looking looking a little shaky. There was a 867 00:48:56,107 --> 00:48:58,187 Speaker 9: bit of a World Cup hangover during the Six Nations. 868 00:48:58,187 --> 00:48:59,427 Speaker 9: I don't think that's there anymore. 869 00:48:59,867 --> 00:49:03,507 Speaker 17: And equally Scotland, I think Gregor Townsend has just he 870 00:49:03,587 --> 00:49:06,827 Speaker 17: has got the nucleus of a really good team Scotland 871 00:49:06,987 --> 00:49:09,187 Speaker 17: that their perennial problem has been that when it comes 872 00:49:09,227 --> 00:49:11,267 Speaker 17: to six nations they can't back it up. So they 873 00:49:11,267 --> 00:49:13,227 Speaker 17: can play one or two good games, but they can't 874 00:49:13,307 --> 00:49:14,187 Speaker 17: last a series. 875 00:49:14,667 --> 00:49:16,107 Speaker 9: But that team has now. 876 00:49:15,987 --> 00:49:21,227 Speaker 17: Got a really strong twenty five unit squad and their 877 00:49:21,267 --> 00:49:24,627 Speaker 17: biggest challenge in twenty twenty five is to be consistent 878 00:49:24,867 --> 00:49:27,587 Speaker 17: over a period of five matches, because that's something they've 879 00:49:27,747 --> 00:49:30,267 Speaker 17: never been able to do. And if they can crack that, 880 00:49:30,827 --> 00:49:33,907 Speaker 17: you know, the number of Scottish players in that Lion 881 00:49:33,987 --> 00:49:35,307 Speaker 17: squad would be fascinating. 882 00:49:36,027 --> 00:49:38,387 Speaker 3: James, what's your scene to Is Warren Gatland going to 883 00:49:38,427 --> 00:49:41,547 Speaker 3: remain in front of the Welsh team for too much longer? 884 00:49:42,667 --> 00:49:44,307 Speaker 9: Who knows? Who knows? 885 00:49:44,107 --> 00:49:47,587 Speaker 17: It's so, you know, one press conference you think he's going. 886 00:49:47,667 --> 00:49:49,987 Speaker 9: The next press conference he looks like he wants to stay. 887 00:49:50,427 --> 00:49:53,907 Speaker 17: But I think it's you know, I mean, Warren Gatland 888 00:49:53,987 --> 00:49:56,787 Speaker 17: is not the only problem in Welsh rugby right now. 889 00:49:57,027 --> 00:49:59,747 Speaker 17: You know, they've had a horrendous financial crisis in terms 890 00:49:59,747 --> 00:50:01,867 Speaker 17: of you know, the financial cuts they've had to implement 891 00:50:01,907 --> 00:50:05,707 Speaker 17: on the squads. There's arguably too many sides now, even 892 00:50:05,747 --> 00:50:07,667 Speaker 17: the likes of Sound Warburton saying it's got to go 893 00:50:07,747 --> 00:50:11,667 Speaker 17: from four four teams down to three. The Welsh team itself, 894 00:50:11,707 --> 00:50:15,667 Speaker 17: the national side is very callow and Gatland, you know, 895 00:50:15,667 --> 00:50:17,827 Speaker 17: there are sometimes you watch him in the press conferences 896 00:50:17,827 --> 00:50:19,787 Speaker 17: he looks like the weight of the world is on 897 00:50:19,827 --> 00:50:22,787 Speaker 17: his shoulders and he's run out of ideas. And I 898 00:50:22,827 --> 00:50:26,347 Speaker 17: suppose the big question is when if you're going to 899 00:50:26,387 --> 00:50:28,467 Speaker 17: get rid of Warren Gatland, there's going to be a 900 00:50:28,467 --> 00:50:28,947 Speaker 17: cost to it. 901 00:50:29,347 --> 00:50:31,827 Speaker 9: You know, he was signed on big, big money. 902 00:50:32,747 --> 00:50:35,587 Speaker 17: And that's the big problem that WRU are having to 903 00:50:35,627 --> 00:50:37,627 Speaker 17: work out, one of many big problems they are having 904 00:50:37,667 --> 00:50:39,987 Speaker 17: to work out if he is he the man? 905 00:50:40,107 --> 00:50:41,147 Speaker 9: Do they think he's the man? 906 00:50:41,187 --> 00:50:44,427 Speaker 17: But equally what crisis do they have to sold first? 907 00:50:44,467 --> 00:50:47,227 Speaker 17: I mean it's almost where do you start because it's 908 00:50:47,427 --> 00:50:50,347 Speaker 17: this horrendous vicious circle in Welsh rugby because if they 909 00:50:50,347 --> 00:50:53,307 Speaker 17: don't sell out the you know card, if they don't 910 00:50:53,307 --> 00:50:55,907 Speaker 17: sell out the principality, then they don't get the money. 911 00:50:56,587 --> 00:50:58,267 Speaker 17: But equally, no one's going to go and watch it 912 00:50:58,307 --> 00:51:00,667 Speaker 17: if they're going to get drubbed by fifty points every time. 913 00:51:01,067 --> 00:51:02,947 Speaker 4: Lad if I can just champion here, I think it's 914 00:51:02,947 --> 00:51:05,147 Speaker 4: really interesting what James is talking about and there's so 915 00:51:05,267 --> 00:51:09,947 Speaker 4: many similarities with train with Welsh rugby of recent years 916 00:51:09,987 --> 00:51:10,987 Speaker 4: around the provinces. 917 00:51:11,067 --> 00:51:13,147 Speaker 11: How many years? And what about the team? What about 918 00:51:13,147 --> 00:51:13,627 Speaker 11: the coaches? 919 00:51:13,667 --> 00:51:16,227 Speaker 4: Well, you know Australian rugby has had three coaches in 920 00:51:16,387 --> 00:51:19,947 Speaker 4: three years. You know they've had four coaches in five years. 921 00:51:20,947 --> 00:51:24,067 Speaker 4: Changing the coach doesn't always necessarily change the landscape. So 922 00:51:24,387 --> 00:51:27,547 Speaker 4: it's a really fascinating dilemma that that Whales have got 923 00:51:27,587 --> 00:51:31,147 Speaker 4: themselves into it at the moment. But spending money unnecessarily 924 00:51:31,227 --> 00:51:33,747 Speaker 4: on paying out coaches isn't always the best idea. 925 00:51:34,107 --> 00:51:37,827 Speaker 3: Christ You'll stick with you. South Africa sweek the North, 926 00:51:37,947 --> 00:51:40,187 Speaker 3: the All Blacks win two Big Tests out of three. 927 00:51:40,467 --> 00:51:43,307 Speaker 3: Australias on the up Brett Robinson's the World Rugby cheer, 928 00:51:43,387 --> 00:51:45,107 Speaker 3: that wasn't a bad month or so for the Southern 929 00:51:45,147 --> 00:51:45,947 Speaker 3: Hemisphere teams. 930 00:51:46,707 --> 00:51:49,027 Speaker 11: Well is it a surprise? It's just it's the same 931 00:51:49,067 --> 00:51:49,907 Speaker 11: old story, isn't it. 932 00:51:50,267 --> 00:51:53,747 Speaker 4: Every year we hear the six nation sides arising they're 933 00:51:53,747 --> 00:51:56,707 Speaker 4: going to be a giant and force, particularly come the 934 00:51:56,707 --> 00:52:00,107 Speaker 4: World Cup. So every world cut bar one in two 935 00:52:00,107 --> 00:52:03,347 Speaker 4: thousand and three suggests that the Southern Hemisphere reigns supreme 936 00:52:03,427 --> 00:52:06,787 Speaker 4: and I think we just saw how strong the Rugby 937 00:52:06,827 --> 00:52:10,027 Speaker 4: Championship is. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the history and it 938 00:52:10,067 --> 00:52:13,027 Speaker 4: doesn't have the prestige that the Six Nations carries with it, 939 00:52:13,307 --> 00:52:18,147 Speaker 4: the absolute tribalism, the amazing atmospheres. But what it does 940 00:52:18,227 --> 00:52:21,107 Speaker 4: have and what it produces is damn good players with 941 00:52:21,867 --> 00:52:24,627 Speaker 4: a great belief and a desire and know how to 942 00:52:24,667 --> 00:52:28,027 Speaker 4: win games. So yeah, I think what we're seeing is 943 00:52:28,227 --> 00:52:31,267 Speaker 4: just how good the All Blacks are. You know, There's 944 00:52:31,307 --> 00:52:34,307 Speaker 4: been a lot that's been said around South Africa's departure 945 00:52:34,347 --> 00:52:37,747 Speaker 4: from Super Rugby and that is definitely hurt probably the 946 00:52:37,787 --> 00:52:40,747 Speaker 4: overall product, but it still is a great force and 947 00:52:41,067 --> 00:52:44,907 Speaker 4: the Rugby Championship is just such a strong, strong competition 948 00:52:45,267 --> 00:52:48,267 Speaker 4: and tournament and it's interesting that going forward it looks 949 00:52:48,307 --> 00:52:50,267 Speaker 4: like it's only going to be played every second year. 950 00:52:50,427 --> 00:52:54,067 Speaker 4: So I just wonder what the long term ramifications are 951 00:52:54,507 --> 00:52:57,947 Speaker 4: for watering down the Rugby Championship will. 952 00:52:57,747 --> 00:53:02,507 Speaker 3: Be James Barrage BBC rugby commentator speaking from up North 953 00:53:02,707 --> 00:53:06,147 Speaker 3: and Christy Dorian, rugby editor for the RALE, giving a 954 00:53:06,387 --> 00:53:10,147 Speaker 3: Southern hemusphere Australian perspective with us on Weekly in Sports, Gentlemen, 955 00:53:10,307 --> 00:53:13,307 Speaker 3: I want to get your perspective on a New Zealand issue. 956 00:53:13,307 --> 00:53:16,467 Speaker 3: The first year of All Black's head coach Scott Robinson. 957 00:53:16,507 --> 00:53:20,907 Speaker 3: Fourteen games down, teen wins for defeats is outsiders. What 958 00:53:20,987 --> 00:53:23,227 Speaker 3: have you made of that first season, James, I'll start 959 00:53:23,267 --> 00:53:23,507 Speaker 3: with you. 960 00:53:24,627 --> 00:53:26,987 Speaker 9: I think he's done well. I think New Zealand I've 961 00:53:27,067 --> 00:53:27,467 Speaker 9: done well. 962 00:53:27,507 --> 00:53:30,627 Speaker 17: I think they've definitely unleashed a few more stars which 963 00:53:30,667 --> 00:53:33,387 Speaker 17: we've got to see for the first time. You're missing 964 00:53:33,387 --> 00:53:35,507 Speaker 17: your first choice ten, but even you still have the 965 00:53:35,627 --> 00:53:37,747 Speaker 17: likes of Damien McKenzie coming straight off the bench and 966 00:53:37,827 --> 00:53:38,707 Speaker 17: nailing every kick. 967 00:53:39,027 --> 00:53:40,827 Speaker 9: And that's like a knife through the heart for a. 968 00:53:40,747 --> 00:53:42,627 Speaker 11: Lot of our. 969 00:53:41,907 --> 00:53:45,107 Speaker 17: Teams because they don't have those big match players who 970 00:53:45,107 --> 00:53:45,787 Speaker 17: can come on and kick. 971 00:53:45,827 --> 00:53:46,947 Speaker 9: And I think it's just underline. 972 00:53:46,987 --> 00:53:49,107 Speaker 17: This autumn series is underline when the games have been 973 00:53:49,147 --> 00:53:53,507 Speaker 17: so tight, you cannot have a goalkicker who misses kicks. 974 00:53:53,547 --> 00:53:55,747 Speaker 17: You've got to be able to nail them under pressure 975 00:53:56,067 --> 00:53:59,267 Speaker 17: when it really matters. But in many ways, if you're 976 00:53:59,307 --> 00:54:02,107 Speaker 17: a purist, one of the most beautiful things in the 977 00:54:02,147 --> 00:54:04,987 Speaker 17: world is seeing in New Zealand back line absolutely tear 978 00:54:05,067 --> 00:54:09,267 Speaker 17: it up. Your back five are just outrageous. The skill 979 00:54:09,307 --> 00:54:12,827 Speaker 17: set is just something to behold. So if you're a 980 00:54:12,827 --> 00:54:16,187 Speaker 17: purist watching the automation series as we have done, some 981 00:54:16,227 --> 00:54:18,067 Speaker 17: of the stuff he's going to shaped together has been 982 00:54:18,147 --> 00:54:20,307 Speaker 17: really impressive. Ireland were well off it in that first 983 00:54:20,347 --> 00:54:22,107 Speaker 17: Test match and I didn't see that one coming. I 984 00:54:22,107 --> 00:54:25,267 Speaker 17: thought Ireland would beat them. They were lucky, you could 985 00:54:25,307 --> 00:54:27,867 Speaker 17: say against englm what width of the post? But I 986 00:54:27,947 --> 00:54:30,107 Speaker 17: feel under Robertson that there's still more to come. 987 00:54:30,147 --> 00:54:30,787 Speaker 9: I don't get the. 988 00:54:30,747 --> 00:54:33,147 Speaker 17: Feeling that they've even got out a third gear under 989 00:54:33,187 --> 00:54:35,827 Speaker 17: Robertson yet, and I'm fascinated. 990 00:54:35,307 --> 00:54:37,187 Speaker 9: To see where he takes the team next year. 991 00:54:37,427 --> 00:54:39,187 Speaker 3: Christy, what have you made of that first campaign? 992 00:54:40,267 --> 00:54:42,267 Speaker 4: Oh, that's the scary thing is that the All Blacks 993 00:54:42,267 --> 00:54:44,107 Speaker 4: were nowhere near as good as what they could be. 994 00:54:44,387 --> 00:54:44,947 Speaker 11: You know, they. 995 00:54:45,507 --> 00:54:48,987 Speaker 4: Managed to for just short on so many different games 996 00:54:49,027 --> 00:54:51,347 Speaker 4: against the spring Box in the middle of the year, 997 00:54:51,427 --> 00:54:54,467 Speaker 4: but that is the hardest place in the world. To 998 00:54:54,507 --> 00:54:57,867 Speaker 4: go to South Africa, to beat them on their own soil, 999 00:54:57,907 --> 00:55:00,107 Speaker 4: and to have to front up two Tests in a row. 1000 00:55:00,467 --> 00:55:04,067 Speaker 4: I thought it was an outstanding if at all surprised. Yes, 1001 00:55:04,147 --> 00:55:06,587 Speaker 4: they were pretty patchy to begin with, but I think 1002 00:55:06,747 --> 00:55:09,587 Speaker 4: what we've seen as well. Is it's very built for 1003 00:55:09,707 --> 00:55:14,467 Speaker 4: these Northern Hemisphere sides to come together for an automation 1004 00:55:14,747 --> 00:55:18,427 Speaker 4: series when the Rugby Championship sides have played ten tests 1005 00:55:18,147 --> 00:55:20,747 Speaker 4: in a few months. So we've got to put it 1006 00:55:20,787 --> 00:55:24,627 Speaker 4: in the context around how close you are. What the 1007 00:55:24,667 --> 00:55:28,587 Speaker 4: All Blacks have done great, I think is and you'll 1008 00:55:28,627 --> 00:55:30,627 Speaker 4: see the proof and the putting in the next couple 1009 00:55:30,667 --> 00:55:33,827 Speaker 4: of years. But how Scott Robinson has managed his squad, 1010 00:55:33,947 --> 00:55:36,907 Speaker 4: I think he's been outstanding. He's managed to ensure that 1011 00:55:36,947 --> 00:55:38,987 Speaker 4: there's been a bit of a bridge between some of 1012 00:55:39,027 --> 00:55:41,587 Speaker 4: the old guard with Sam Kaine t J Perrin are 1013 00:55:42,187 --> 00:55:45,587 Speaker 4: really ashering through some of this new crop. And well 1014 00:55:45,587 --> 00:55:48,667 Speaker 4: it's the TV obviously the Rookie of the Year voted 1015 00:55:48,747 --> 00:55:51,187 Speaker 4: just over the last week, but he could have easily 1016 00:55:51,227 --> 00:55:53,907 Speaker 4: been the number six of the year across the globe. 1017 00:55:54,267 --> 00:55:58,387 Speaker 4: Outstanding and I think he's done a fantastic job and 1018 00:55:58,427 --> 00:56:01,667 Speaker 4: trying circumstances and probably the toughest position to be the 1019 00:56:01,707 --> 00:56:05,827 Speaker 4: All Blacks coach off the back of a World Cup final, 1020 00:56:05,867 --> 00:56:08,147 Speaker 4: there's not many places you can go other than down, 1021 00:56:08,187 --> 00:56:10,267 Speaker 4: but I think they can hold their heads up pretty high. 1022 00:56:10,307 --> 00:56:12,747 Speaker 3: The final question ginder Ben so grateful for your time 1023 00:56:13,307 --> 00:56:15,267 Speaker 3: on the British and Irish Lions tour, which we touched 1024 00:56:15,307 --> 00:56:17,147 Speaker 3: on at the start of Hit of twenty twenty five. 1025 00:56:17,187 --> 00:56:19,147 Speaker 3: How do you think the Home Union's a placed with 1026 00:56:19,267 --> 00:56:22,667 Speaker 3: that series after what we've seen this year, James. 1027 00:56:23,027 --> 00:56:24,307 Speaker 9: I still think it's too early to say. 1028 00:56:24,307 --> 00:56:26,107 Speaker 17: I still think you've got to watch the Six Nations 1029 00:56:26,147 --> 00:56:28,147 Speaker 17: and get a really good idea. You never pick a 1030 00:56:28,187 --> 00:56:31,067 Speaker 17: Lions team in November or December, so much can change 1031 00:56:31,107 --> 00:56:34,227 Speaker 17: over the next three or four months, whether it's injuries, 1032 00:56:34,307 --> 00:56:38,107 Speaker 17: lack of form, change of form. Sometimes players come from 1033 00:56:38,147 --> 00:56:41,987 Speaker 17: absolutely nowhere proper Boulters and I think that's the beauty 1034 00:56:42,027 --> 00:56:44,467 Speaker 17: of the Six Nations this year, is that there's an 1035 00:56:44,507 --> 00:56:46,467 Speaker 17: added edge, isn't there. There's going to be a massive 1036 00:56:46,507 --> 00:56:48,987 Speaker 17: byproduct of what happens over the next. 1037 00:56:48,867 --> 00:56:50,187 Speaker 9: Three or four months. 1038 00:56:50,427 --> 00:56:52,307 Speaker 17: At the moment, you'd say a lot of those places 1039 00:56:52,347 --> 00:56:54,707 Speaker 17: are probably going to be filled by Scottish and Irish players, 1040 00:56:55,107 --> 00:56:55,907 Speaker 17: but who knows. 1041 00:56:55,907 --> 00:56:57,227 Speaker 9: Things could change quite quickly. 1042 00:56:57,467 --> 00:56:59,547 Speaker 3: And Christy the Wallabies, as you touched on at the 1043 00:56:59,587 --> 00:57:02,267 Speaker 3: start on the gap, that British and Irish Lions series 1044 00:57:02,307 --> 00:57:05,427 Speaker 3: is looking at much more enticing prospect. 1045 00:57:04,907 --> 00:57:07,867 Speaker 4: Well there's definitely a chance and that's great to see 1046 00:57:07,907 --> 00:57:10,627 Speaker 4: from a just from a global rugby fan perspective. 1047 00:57:10,827 --> 00:57:12,787 Speaker 11: Look, Lions series. 1048 00:57:12,467 --> 00:57:15,067 Speaker 4: Typically are one by the home sides, aren't they? 1049 00:57:15,227 --> 00:57:15,467 Speaker 15: You know? 1050 00:57:15,507 --> 00:57:17,987 Speaker 4: It was only really in twenty thirteen that the Wallaby's 1051 00:57:17,987 --> 00:57:20,027 Speaker 4: got beaten to one, and that was a pretty It 1052 00:57:20,147 --> 00:57:22,507 Speaker 4: wasn't a well beating Wallaby side either, it was a 1053 00:57:22,507 --> 00:57:25,787 Speaker 4: side in transition. So I expect them to take at 1054 00:57:25,867 --> 00:57:29,387 Speaker 4: least one Test and I think the biggest challenge for 1055 00:57:29,427 --> 00:57:31,667 Speaker 4: Andy Farrell is going to be deciding on who he's 1056 00:57:31,707 --> 00:57:33,627 Speaker 4: ten is, because who he decides on the team. 1057 00:57:33,547 --> 00:57:36,227 Speaker 14: Probably side on the twelve, doesn't. 1058 00:57:35,907 --> 00:57:39,067 Speaker 4: It you know, does he trust Finn Russell to go 1059 00:57:39,147 --> 00:57:43,027 Speaker 4: in with a only two? Pilatu Island have got a 1060 00:57:43,027 --> 00:57:47,827 Speaker 4: brand new ten themselves, Bundiaki there at twelve Combinations is 1061 00:57:47,867 --> 00:57:50,667 Speaker 4: the really tricky thing from a Lion's perspective, and that 1062 00:57:50,827 --> 00:57:54,307 Speaker 4: balancing act will be fascinating. But at least the Wallabies 1063 00:57:54,347 --> 00:57:58,507 Speaker 4: now don't have fifteen unanswered questions around how to slot 1064 00:57:58,587 --> 00:58:01,667 Speaker 4: into players. This Wallaby team actually now has about ten 1065 00:58:01,707 --> 00:58:04,667 Speaker 4: to twelve guys where you can safely say they'll be 1066 00:58:04,707 --> 00:58:05,107 Speaker 4: taking on. 1067 00:58:05,147 --> 00:58:06,267 Speaker 11: The lines next year. 1068 00:58:06,627 --> 00:58:09,107 Speaker 4: It means Joe Schmidt is one of two steps ahead 1069 00:58:09,147 --> 00:58:10,147 Speaker 4: of Andy Fowrell. 1070 00:58:10,187 --> 00:58:11,947 Speaker 3: Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure. Thank you very much for 1071 00:58:11,987 --> 00:58:14,707 Speaker 3: your time. Enjoy chatting rugby with you. Enjoy the brief 1072 00:58:14,707 --> 00:58:17,027 Speaker 3: off season up north and the longer one down south. 1073 00:58:17,587 --> 00:58:18,907 Speaker 3: James and Christy, thanks for your time. 1074 00:58:19,667 --> 00:58:21,067 Speaker 9: Cheers, cheers, guys, they worries. 1075 00:58:21,307 --> 00:58:24,147 Speaker 3: That is James Burrage from the BBC and Christy Dorian 1076 00:58:24,227 --> 00:58:27,107 Speaker 3: joining us from the raw in Australia, summing up the 1077 00:58:27,187 --> 00:58:31,187 Speaker 3: Test match calendar that has been in season twenty twenty 1078 00:58:31,187 --> 00:58:35,307 Speaker 3: four International rugby. While we've been chatting with those fellows, 1079 00:58:35,507 --> 00:58:39,227 Speaker 3: this has happened on the ACC. Mitchell is on eighty four. 1080 00:58:40,307 --> 00:58:43,027 Speaker 8: Mitchell drives down the ground, doesn't time it perfectly and 1081 00:58:43,147 --> 00:58:48,627 Speaker 8: straight down the throat of Chris Works at mid off 1082 00:58:50,027 --> 00:58:52,427 Speaker 8: and that is the end of the New Zealand innings. 1083 00:58:52,467 --> 00:58:54,227 Speaker 8: And that's the end of Daryl Mitchell's innings. 1084 00:58:54,227 --> 00:58:57,547 Speaker 3: He's gone for eighty four. Yes, indeed, Daryl Mitchell out 1085 00:58:57,547 --> 00:58:59,187 Speaker 3: for eighty four and that was the end of the 1086 00:58:59,227 --> 00:59:03,107 Speaker 3: New Zealand innings. Two hundred and fifty four all out 1087 00:59:03,227 --> 00:59:06,627 Speaker 3: in the second dig and that means that in Glen 1088 00:59:06,627 --> 00:59:09,587 Speaker 3: will require one hundred and four to win the Test 1089 00:59:09,587 --> 00:59:15,267 Speaker 3: match when play resumes at one fifty six pm to 1090 00:59:15,347 --> 00:59:18,987 Speaker 3: be precise, after they took the extra half hour, didn't 1091 00:59:19,027 --> 00:59:20,907 Speaker 3: need all of it, only needed sixteen minutes and that 1092 00:59:20,987 --> 00:59:23,907 Speaker 3: was the end of the black Caps inning. So England 1093 00:59:23,907 --> 00:59:25,547 Speaker 3: one hundred and four to win will get you back 1094 00:59:25,547 --> 00:59:28,667 Speaker 3: to Hagley Oval next hour. Here on news Talk zbign 1095 00:59:28,707 --> 00:59:31,507 Speaker 3: for your views on the Test match calendar that has 1096 00:59:31,627 --> 00:59:34,467 Speaker 3: been the All Black season, obviously wrapping up last week 1097 00:59:34,627 --> 00:59:39,667 Speaker 3: against Italy in Turin, Australia and Ireland signing off the 1098 00:59:39,707 --> 00:59:43,307 Speaker 3: calendar year this year has the power bay shifted if 1099 00:59:43,347 --> 00:59:46,627 Speaker 3: indeed it either did fully shift up north? You look 1100 00:59:46,667 --> 00:59:49,147 Speaker 3: at South Africa clear number one in the world. To 1101 00:59:49,227 --> 00:59:53,507 Speaker 3: me the All Blacks room for improvement. But banks two 1102 00:59:53,547 --> 00:59:56,667 Speaker 3: wins over England and Ireland one point lost to France 1103 00:59:56,707 --> 00:59:59,987 Speaker 3: at the end of the season. Clearly, I think you 1104 01:00:00,107 --> 01:00:04,467 Speaker 3: take that end of year tour, but more can be 1105 01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,827 Speaker 3: said about the Rugby Chichampionship and that loss to Argentina. 1106 01:00:07,867 --> 01:00:09,427 Speaker 3: But from the end of year to it feels like 1107 01:00:09,467 --> 01:00:12,747 Speaker 3: the All Blacks found their way a little bit. Australagant 1108 01:00:13,307 --> 01:00:19,387 Speaker 3: certainly on the improve could have won this morning, only 1109 01:00:19,427 --> 01:00:21,427 Speaker 3: one loss on the end of year tour. Not many 1110 01:00:21,427 --> 01:00:24,387 Speaker 3: would have said that a few months ago after they 1111 01:00:24,427 --> 01:00:29,707 Speaker 3: got pelted about sixty seven points by Argentina. Is the 1112 01:00:29,707 --> 01:00:32,467 Speaker 3: power based still with the Southern Hemisphere? Did even leave? 1113 01:00:35,307 --> 01:00:38,547 Speaker 3: And is that Australian team just worry you ever so slightly? 1114 01:00:40,587 --> 01:00:45,107 Speaker 3: I looked at that performance this morning against the Irish 1115 01:00:45,147 --> 01:00:49,067 Speaker 3: and thought, that is a performance. The way they're playing, 1116 01:00:49,907 --> 01:00:56,427 Speaker 3: clearly Joshmant, lovely interplay between the forwards and the backs. 1117 01:00:56,467 --> 01:00:59,707 Speaker 3: The defense was outstanding. I'm sure Jochmant probably picked apart 1118 01:00:59,787 --> 01:01:05,667 Speaker 3: Ireland and knows some of their systems to the nth degree, 1119 01:01:05,827 --> 01:01:10,347 Speaker 3: But I haven't the Wolbies played that well for quite 1120 01:01:10,347 --> 01:01:15,907 Speaker 3: some time, maybe a couple of performances of the day 1121 01:01:15,947 --> 01:01:18,787 Speaker 3: for any year. But I watched that and thought that's 1122 01:01:18,827 --> 01:01:24,427 Speaker 3: an Australian team that is poised to get better. Doesn't 1123 01:01:24,427 --> 01:01:26,747 Speaker 3: feel like it's been stagnant. Want to hear from you, Oh, 1124 01:01:26,747 --> 01:01:29,147 Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two ninety two 1125 01:01:29,147 --> 01:01:30,467 Speaker 3: for a text mess. At least talk a bit of 1126 01:01:30,547 --> 01:01:32,507 Speaker 3: rugby before we get back to the cricket. Here on 1127 01:01:32,587 --> 01:01:35,307 Speaker 3: News Talk ZB it is coming up twenty seven after 1128 01:01:35,347 --> 01:01:36,427 Speaker 3: one one. 1129 01:01:36,427 --> 01:01:41,587 Speaker 2: Crutch Hold Engage if weekend Sport with GJ Gugno homes 1130 01:01:41,867 --> 01:01:44,707 Speaker 2: New Zealand's most trusted no Milder News Talks. 1131 01:01:44,427 --> 01:01:48,467 Speaker 3: ABB twenty nine after one on News Talk ZIB Let's 1132 01:01:48,467 --> 01:01:51,467 Speaker 3: talk a bit of rugby to wrap up the international 1133 01:01:51,507 --> 01:01:54,827 Speaker 3: season twenty twenty four. Couple of texts in on the 1134 01:01:54,867 --> 01:01:58,747 Speaker 3: season that has been. Paul says this, we keep hearing 1135 01:01:58,747 --> 01:02:02,307 Speaker 3: about building, rebuild, learnings, and when the All Blacks lose 1136 01:02:02,307 --> 01:02:03,667 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, it's about the World Cup and 1137 01:02:03,707 --> 01:02:05,787 Speaker 3: they are trending in the right direction after twelve games, 1138 01:02:05,787 --> 01:02:09,507 Speaker 3: still making excuses. Let's get real, Italy were a hopeless team. 1139 01:02:09,627 --> 01:02:12,067 Speaker 3: Ask yourself if the All Black's gotten better after twelve games. 1140 01:02:12,107 --> 01:02:15,267 Speaker 3: Answer is no. Razor is an impossed Thank you very 1141 01:02:15,307 --> 01:02:20,307 Speaker 3: much Pul for the text. I suppose you look at 1142 01:02:20,307 --> 01:02:23,267 Speaker 3: that inter view tour in isolation and go, I do 1143 01:02:23,347 --> 01:02:27,267 Speaker 3: and go. Two wins over England and Irelands, one point 1144 01:02:27,307 --> 01:02:33,427 Speaker 3: lost to France. That's a better return than perhaps many expected. 1145 01:02:36,507 --> 01:02:40,787 Speaker 3: I think the test match selection for Italy was too 1146 01:02:40,787 --> 01:02:47,467 Speaker 3: conservative last week. You can't put players out four weeks 1147 01:02:48,307 --> 01:02:52,027 Speaker 3: in a row on an inter of view tour. That's 1148 01:02:52,067 --> 01:02:55,267 Speaker 3: the only time you play consecutive matches for four weeks straight. 1149 01:02:56,267 --> 01:02:58,067 Speaker 3: You might play super for four weeks straight, but you 1150 01:02:58,067 --> 01:03:00,747 Speaker 3: don't do it in test matches. Outside of World Cup 1151 01:03:00,787 --> 01:03:04,387 Speaker 3: inter view tours, you have four, maybe five test matches 1152 01:03:04,427 --> 01:03:08,027 Speaker 3: scheduled in consecutive weeks. I thought there was unusual. You 1153 01:03:08,027 --> 01:03:12,907 Speaker 3: haven't seen previous All Blacks coaches do that with their selections. 1154 01:03:14,747 --> 01:03:17,147 Speaker 3: Certainly they target matches and go, this is where we 1155 01:03:17,187 --> 01:03:22,027 Speaker 3: can rotate. And I don't think we learned a lot 1156 01:03:22,107 --> 01:03:25,547 Speaker 3: from that Italian performance, Whereas it would have been an 1157 01:03:25,547 --> 01:03:33,147 Speaker 3: opportunity to learn about Reuben Love, learn about Peter Luckye 1158 01:03:33,187 --> 01:03:38,307 Speaker 3: had he started, learn about Fabian Hond and go into 1159 01:03:38,307 --> 01:03:41,907 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five armed with a bit more knowledge about 1160 01:03:41,907 --> 01:03:49,987 Speaker 3: these players. That's what I expected them to do. They 1161 01:03:50,027 --> 01:03:53,187 Speaker 3: didn't do that, and it was a clumsy performance. It 1162 01:03:53,227 --> 01:03:55,707 Speaker 3: was a tired performance, I thought last week and she 1163 01:03:55,787 --> 01:03:59,467 Speaker 3: wean it was a performance that looked like players who 1164 01:03:59,507 --> 01:04:02,147 Speaker 3: had been playing four weeks straight. Wallace Tt I thought 1165 01:04:02,187 --> 01:04:04,627 Speaker 3: was very good last week. That was his fifth straight 1166 01:04:04,667 --> 01:04:10,947 Speaker 3: test match week. So I think you look at twenty 1167 01:04:10,987 --> 01:04:13,987 Speaker 3: twenty five and go there are very few opportunities to 1168 01:04:14,107 --> 01:04:20,307 Speaker 3: roll out Perhaps teams or players in an environment where 1169 01:04:20,307 --> 01:04:22,307 Speaker 3: you are expected and should win and can learn a 1170 01:04:22,307 --> 01:04:29,787 Speaker 3: bit more about players. So I agree with your point, Paul. 1171 01:04:29,787 --> 01:04:32,307 Speaker 3: I think you look at that year ago, are they 1172 01:04:32,347 --> 01:04:36,747 Speaker 3: improved well? Weirdly, the jury is still out from after 1173 01:04:36,747 --> 01:04:39,187 Speaker 3: that first test in England to where we are at 1174 01:04:39,227 --> 01:04:43,707 Speaker 3: the end of the year nine nine two. For a text, 1175 01:04:43,747 --> 01:04:49,427 Speaker 3: oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty, Tim says this 1176 01:04:49,587 --> 01:04:53,027 Speaker 3: high alligant the rules suit South Africa game might as 1177 01:04:53,027 --> 01:04:55,747 Speaker 3: well be American football. Fifty players and so many stoppages. 1178 01:04:55,787 --> 01:04:57,987 Speaker 3: We need to get fatigue into the game more. Hopefully 1179 01:04:58,027 --> 01:05:00,707 Speaker 3: this ossie guy Robinson will sort the old guard out. Well, 1180 01:05:00,707 --> 01:05:03,267 Speaker 3: he'll meet a bit of resistance, I am sure in 1181 01:05:03,347 --> 01:05:06,067 Speaker 3: doing so. I think there are a number of changes 1182 01:05:06,067 --> 01:05:09,467 Speaker 3: that we could make to bring in fatigue in the game. 1183 01:05:11,827 --> 01:05:18,787 Speaker 3: And that's what sport should be about, is bringing in changes. 1184 01:05:18,827 --> 01:05:20,667 Speaker 3: You know, when someone perfects a rule, you then begin 1185 01:05:20,707 --> 01:05:22,507 Speaker 3: to tweak it, you begin to learn more. The endgame 1186 01:05:22,587 --> 01:05:25,987 Speaker 3: moved out the three point line when players became so 1187 01:05:26,027 --> 01:05:27,587 Speaker 3: good at it. Do they need to move it out again? 1188 01:05:29,787 --> 01:05:32,587 Speaker 3: When teams perfect and get on top of a rule 1189 01:05:32,627 --> 01:05:35,067 Speaker 3: like South Africa have with their very very good bomb squad. 1190 01:05:35,827 --> 01:05:38,987 Speaker 3: That's when you begin to consider some changes like I 1191 01:05:39,067 --> 01:05:42,747 Speaker 3: would be in favor of being able to name a 1192 01:05:42,827 --> 01:05:44,907 Speaker 3: nine or ten person bench, but only being able to 1193 01:05:44,987 --> 01:05:49,107 Speaker 3: use five of them brings in fatigue into the game more. 1194 01:05:49,227 --> 01:05:53,827 Speaker 3: That means you have to consider, hey, you use your substitutes, 1195 01:05:54,427 --> 01:06:00,227 Speaker 3: be a bit more tactical. It also changes the last 1196 01:06:00,267 --> 01:06:03,267 Speaker 3: twenty minutes of the test matches. It's gonna be interested. 1197 01:06:03,267 --> 01:06:05,307 Speaker 3: See what but Robinson does. They spoke to pind a 1198 01:06:05,347 --> 01:06:09,267 Speaker 3: few weeks ago. Fair bit in the inbox. I'm sure 1199 01:06:09,307 --> 01:06:13,547 Speaker 3: for Brett Robinson. Another one says this from Brett is 1200 01:06:13,627 --> 01:06:15,787 Speaker 3: rais a skin of losing or excited by winning. Picked 1201 01:06:15,787 --> 01:06:25,027 Speaker 3: the young dog and coach him. Yeah, I think there 1202 01:06:25,067 --> 01:06:27,347 Speaker 3: was a point. We obviously seen Wallace to TD second 1203 01:06:27,347 --> 01:06:30,067 Speaker 3: half of the year stand up and be really impressive. 1204 01:06:31,707 --> 01:06:33,387 Speaker 3: They took a chance on him for that second test 1205 01:06:33,427 --> 01:06:36,627 Speaker 3: in Cape town ethan blackad are out injured. Had other 1206 01:06:36,667 --> 01:06:38,547 Speaker 3: players could have gone, Luke Jacobson on the blind side 1207 01:06:38,587 --> 01:06:41,747 Speaker 3: decided to pump Wallace to TD, put him in the team, 1208 01:06:41,947 --> 01:06:43,667 Speaker 3: pay dividends. No, you can't leave him out of a 1209 01:06:43,707 --> 01:06:45,307 Speaker 3: first choice. All Blacks fifteen by the end of the 1210 01:06:45,387 --> 01:06:49,307 Speaker 3: year would have liked to see more of Billy Proctor 1211 01:06:49,347 --> 01:06:53,107 Speaker 3: this year, no doubt about it, only saw him twice. 1212 01:06:58,267 --> 01:07:01,107 Speaker 3: That I think is a real question heating into next year. 1213 01:07:01,107 --> 01:07:04,107 Speaker 3: What when do we begin to see these players to 1214 01:07:04,187 --> 01:07:12,547 Speaker 3: begin to build the depth ticks from Jeffer, Tony Brown 1215 01:07:12,547 --> 01:07:15,947 Speaker 3: needs to be jumbo jitted into the All Blacks. He 1216 01:07:16,067 --> 01:07:18,707 Speaker 3: understands ball playing, so TTV, running out of the backs 1217 01:07:18,787 --> 01:07:22,547 Speaker 3: like ps Peter Sifted, Toyt Brown, head coach Schmidt, and 1218 01:07:22,627 --> 01:07:28,707 Speaker 3: Cottter So Jeff is advocating for a clearout already look 1219 01:07:28,747 --> 01:07:32,987 Speaker 3: I suspect Tony Brown's South African Spring Books contract might 1220 01:07:33,027 --> 01:07:37,387 Speaker 3: be a little bit water tight. I think some of 1221 01:07:37,387 --> 01:07:39,587 Speaker 3: the detail is a little bit lacking from the All 1222 01:07:39,627 --> 01:07:44,587 Speaker 3: Blacks in the clean out area of the game. Some 1223 01:07:44,667 --> 01:07:49,907 Speaker 3: of the detail handling rockwork just hasn't been quite there 1224 01:07:49,947 --> 01:07:55,387 Speaker 3: at times on their inter of view tour. I think 1225 01:07:55,467 --> 01:07:58,867 Speaker 3: certainly something that needs to be looked at going into 1226 01:07:59,427 --> 01:08:04,067 Speaker 3: twenty five, another one of this four losses in one 1227 01:08:04,107 --> 01:08:06,107 Speaker 3: season for the All Blacks. One of the worst seasons ever. 1228 01:08:08,107 --> 01:08:15,707 Speaker 3: Not wrong, I remember five and nine, only eight fourteen 1229 01:08:15,747 --> 01:08:19,987 Speaker 3: tests this year should have won one in South Africa 1230 01:08:20,427 --> 01:08:25,147 Speaker 3: at least one point of losing in France. The one 1231 01:08:25,147 --> 01:08:29,347 Speaker 3: that really sticks in the craw as the Argentina Argentina game. 1232 01:08:29,387 --> 01:08:33,267 Speaker 3: Excuse me and Wellington. I think it still lives a 1233 01:08:33,307 --> 01:08:36,907 Speaker 3: little bit rent free in the All Blacks heads. Maybe 1234 01:08:36,987 --> 01:08:39,227 Speaker 3: that has potentially made them a little bit gun shy 1235 01:08:39,947 --> 01:08:42,067 Speaker 3: as well, knowing that they had those losses on their 1236 01:08:42,107 --> 01:08:49,947 Speaker 3: shoulders already this year, couldn't afford another one because I 1237 01:08:49,987 --> 01:08:53,387 Speaker 3: think that Argentine. I know because I spoke to Scott 1238 01:08:53,467 --> 01:08:57,907 Speaker 3: Robinson about the season of review. You might have heard 1239 01:08:57,907 --> 01:09:02,267 Speaker 3: it last week on Hearing News Talks Hebb that Argentina 1240 01:09:02,307 --> 01:09:05,187 Speaker 3: loss lives rent free and some of the All Blacks 1241 01:09:05,227 --> 01:09:08,747 Speaker 3: coaches heads because they shouldn't have lost that game, had 1242 01:09:08,747 --> 01:09:14,987 Speaker 3: no reason to lose them they did twenty twenty five. 1243 01:09:15,027 --> 01:09:17,387 Speaker 3: We are a very interesting year, I'm sure of that. 1244 01:09:17,427 --> 01:09:20,227 Speaker 3: When it comes to the All blackst just joining us. 1245 01:09:20,467 --> 01:09:22,707 Speaker 3: Black Caps are all out two hundred and fifty four. 1246 01:09:24,947 --> 01:09:26,627 Speaker 3: England will need one hundred and four to win the 1247 01:09:26,627 --> 01:09:31,347 Speaker 3: Test match, play resuming at one fifty six at Hagley Oval. 1248 01:09:31,827 --> 01:09:33,587 Speaker 3: Take a break, come back with more after this. James 1249 01:09:33,627 --> 01:09:34,667 Speaker 3: Maconey going to do the show. 1250 01:09:35,907 --> 01:09:38,827 Speaker 1: You be the TMO. Have your say on eight hundred 1251 01:09:38,827 --> 01:09:42,947 Speaker 1: and eighty ten eighty Weekend Sport with GJ. Gunnos, New 1252 01:09:43,027 --> 01:09:45,187 Speaker 1: Zealand's most trusted home builder, News. 1253 01:09:44,987 --> 01:09:49,667 Speaker 3: Talk ZEDB twenty away from two on News Talk ZB. 1254 01:09:49,867 --> 01:09:53,027 Speaker 3: As we do this time every Sunday afternoon, it's a 1255 01:09:53,107 --> 01:09:56,907 Speaker 3: very warm welcome. James mcconey, Good afternoon, Elliott. 1256 01:09:56,987 --> 01:09:57,947 Speaker 6: How's it going mate? 1257 01:09:57,987 --> 01:10:00,067 Speaker 3: You're right, I'm good, Thank you good, thank you. Good 1258 01:10:00,067 --> 01:10:02,867 Speaker 3: to be back in New Zealand and watching some cricket. 1259 01:10:02,867 --> 01:10:04,707 Speaker 3: It would be better if the black Caps could catch. 1260 01:10:05,467 --> 01:10:06,267 Speaker 3: Having said that. 1261 01:10:07,187 --> 01:10:09,587 Speaker 6: Yeah, I know they put down a few chances. Catches 1262 01:10:09,667 --> 01:10:12,187 Speaker 6: with matches, as they say it. Look, I think this 1263 01:10:12,347 --> 01:10:15,227 Speaker 6: just shows that when you're a team that's regularly playing 1264 01:10:15,987 --> 01:10:20,227 Speaker 6: Test cricket like England and seem to just have a 1265 01:10:20,227 --> 01:10:24,107 Speaker 6: bit more composure and a confident when they're big guns 1266 01:10:24,147 --> 01:10:27,547 Speaker 6: aren't firing. I mean, Joe Root got a duck right, 1267 01:10:27,627 --> 01:10:30,387 Speaker 6: so he was out after four balls, but Harry Brook 1268 01:10:30,427 --> 01:10:32,267 Speaker 6: set them up with one hundred and seventy one for 1269 01:10:32,307 --> 01:10:34,907 Speaker 6: an inning. That's really going to ensure that your team 1270 01:10:34,987 --> 01:10:37,707 Speaker 6: is in a winning position. But you know, my main 1271 01:10:37,907 --> 01:10:40,787 Speaker 6: issue I think with this was just maybe in the 1272 01:10:40,827 --> 01:10:44,147 Speaker 6: selection I sort of felt that there would have been 1273 01:10:44,227 --> 01:10:46,907 Speaker 6: room for a proper spinner. I would have liked to 1274 01:10:46,947 --> 01:10:50,227 Speaker 6: have seen, you know, Mitch Stanton had a side strain. 1275 01:10:50,307 --> 01:10:55,267 Speaker 6: But I still believe in picking your best spinner for 1276 01:10:55,507 --> 01:10:59,107 Speaker 6: even tests in New Zealand. And then also, you know, 1277 01:10:59,187 --> 01:11:03,227 Speaker 6: Will Young the player of the series in India and 1278 01:11:03,507 --> 01:11:06,307 Speaker 6: I can't get a gig, And I just thought after 1279 01:11:07,307 --> 01:11:10,547 Speaker 6: you know has averages thirty seven for the calendar year, 1280 01:11:11,147 --> 01:11:13,627 Speaker 6: and I think someone like Devin Conway who's been slipping 1281 01:11:13,667 --> 01:11:16,467 Speaker 6: away a little bit, his average has gone from fifty 1282 01:11:16,747 --> 01:11:19,587 Speaker 6: down to thirty eight, and maybe just keep stay with 1283 01:11:19,627 --> 01:11:21,147 Speaker 6: the hot hands, stay with Bill Young. 1284 01:11:21,747 --> 01:11:25,507 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I think the team you look at and 1285 01:11:25,547 --> 01:11:27,627 Speaker 3: at the moment you've got to go with the players 1286 01:11:27,667 --> 01:11:29,867 Speaker 3: that are in form and the packs and players that 1287 01:11:29,907 --> 01:11:31,787 Speaker 3: are woefully out of form rather than the ones that, 1288 01:11:31,867 --> 01:11:33,027 Speaker 3: as you say, have the hot hand. 1289 01:11:34,027 --> 01:11:34,267 Speaker 15: Yeah. 1290 01:11:34,347 --> 01:11:37,027 Speaker 6: And that's the tricky thing with batting is I mean, 1291 01:11:37,067 --> 01:11:39,307 Speaker 6: I know Conway has been in there as an open 1292 01:11:39,387 --> 01:11:42,067 Speaker 6: Will Young has opened as well. Is that you know 1293 01:11:42,147 --> 01:11:45,787 Speaker 6: it is it's a confidence game and taking that momentum 1294 01:11:45,827 --> 01:11:48,427 Speaker 6: away from Bill Young. I think that's what's customers entire 1295 01:11:49,187 --> 01:11:53,307 Speaker 6: or short test career is knowing that he's probably that 1296 01:11:53,347 --> 01:11:55,307 Speaker 6: he might get dropped the next the very next game, 1297 01:11:55,587 --> 01:11:58,427 Speaker 6: and that's what's happened to it after a history making 1298 01:11:58,947 --> 01:12:02,867 Speaker 6: series win in India. So it's just a few I 1299 01:12:02,867 --> 01:12:06,787 Speaker 6: guess what you call it, like philosophical differences with the 1300 01:12:06,787 --> 01:12:08,187 Speaker 6: way that we pick our team. 1301 01:12:08,267 --> 01:12:12,867 Speaker 3: Indeed, speaking of philosophical differences, Scott Robertson is going to 1302 01:12:12,867 --> 01:12:15,507 Speaker 3: go to the New Zealand Rugby Board again on the 1303 01:12:15,547 --> 01:12:20,027 Speaker 3: eligibility matter and see if maybe there's a door that 1304 01:12:20,067 --> 01:12:23,027 Speaker 3: can open to players from abroad to play for the 1305 01:12:23,027 --> 01:12:25,267 Speaker 3: All Blacks. Again, what do you make of that? We're abouts? 1306 01:12:25,307 --> 01:12:26,427 Speaker 3: Do you stand on the jams? 1307 01:12:27,907 --> 01:12:30,307 Speaker 6: I don't think we can afford to pick players from overseas. 1308 01:12:30,347 --> 01:12:32,507 Speaker 6: I just think that once the flood gates are opened, 1309 01:12:32,587 --> 01:12:35,107 Speaker 6: I mean, then there might be if there was a 1310 01:12:35,147 --> 01:12:39,507 Speaker 6: special dispensation. Maybe there's that. But you know, if you 1311 01:12:39,587 --> 01:12:42,467 Speaker 6: want Super Rugby and the NPC to survive, you can't 1312 01:12:42,507 --> 01:12:44,627 Speaker 6: just suddenly say we're picking from all around the world, 1313 01:12:45,107 --> 01:12:48,027 Speaker 6: as simple as that. But we know it's all about 1314 01:12:48,027 --> 01:12:52,787 Speaker 6: one person. It's all about Richie Moonger, right, So for me, 1315 01:12:53,707 --> 01:12:58,427 Speaker 6: if you're chasing you know Richie Moonger from four years ago, 1316 01:12:58,547 --> 01:13:01,587 Speaker 6: I mean it's a bit like trying to get back 1317 01:13:01,587 --> 01:13:03,867 Speaker 6: with you with the r X. We've all done that 1318 01:13:04,227 --> 01:13:06,707 Speaker 6: and we you know, and it's a rare skin. It 1319 01:13:06,707 --> 01:13:09,747 Speaker 6: doesn't always work, you know. It's the same as rugby players. 1320 01:13:09,787 --> 01:13:09,907 Speaker 18: You know. 1321 01:13:10,027 --> 01:13:12,987 Speaker 6: There's a few more miles on the clock, a bit 1322 01:13:12,987 --> 01:13:16,187 Speaker 6: more stuck in their ways. They're always complaining about clothes 1323 01:13:16,227 --> 01:13:18,187 Speaker 6: on the floor and the amount of time is watching 1324 01:13:18,227 --> 01:13:22,267 Speaker 6: sport and where to go for Christmas. Sorry, it's got 1325 01:13:22,267 --> 01:13:22,827 Speaker 6: triggered there. 1326 01:13:23,347 --> 01:13:26,187 Speaker 3: It feels like you're just brought up some repris memories 1327 01:13:26,187 --> 01:13:28,667 Speaker 3: for you. Sorry James, but you know what. 1328 01:13:28,627 --> 01:13:30,907 Speaker 6: It's like, are we going to get the Is he 1329 01:13:30,987 --> 01:13:33,307 Speaker 6: going to get the player that he really wants if 1330 01:13:33,347 --> 01:13:35,987 Speaker 6: he's going in for more Warner? And also I just 1331 01:13:36,027 --> 01:13:38,827 Speaker 6: wonder whether what it says about New Zealand's development. I 1332 01:13:38,867 --> 01:13:41,427 Speaker 6: think we've verse five has been a real blind spot 1333 01:13:41,467 --> 01:13:43,787 Speaker 6: for us. I mean France they just chucked Ramos and 1334 01:13:43,787 --> 01:13:45,907 Speaker 6: there's their fullback and they were fine, you know, like 1335 01:13:45,947 --> 01:13:49,667 Speaker 6: where we have got a big mental blockover all who 1336 01:13:49,667 --> 01:13:54,587 Speaker 6: plays first five and and and so so much focus 1337 01:13:54,627 --> 01:13:57,107 Speaker 6: goes on it. I actually personally think it's one of 1338 01:13:57,147 --> 01:14:01,827 Speaker 6: the more fun and easy positions in rugby, and then 1339 01:14:01,867 --> 01:14:05,067 Speaker 6: we shouldn't he shouldn't actually stress about it. You know, 1340 01:14:06,067 --> 01:14:08,227 Speaker 6: play seem to would be a lot scarier than just 1341 01:14:08,267 --> 01:14:10,867 Speaker 6: been tacking in and playing first five. I think the 1342 01:14:10,907 --> 01:14:15,707 Speaker 6: way Ireland protected Johnny Sexton for years there he could 1343 01:14:15,707 --> 01:14:19,707 Speaker 6: have played first five until he was forty eight thirty eight, 1344 01:14:19,747 --> 01:14:24,667 Speaker 6: the way that they did that. So yeah, I'm not underperceived. 1345 01:14:24,707 --> 01:14:27,867 Speaker 6: Join that yourself, Elliott, you're the rugby reporterby editor. 1346 01:14:27,987 --> 01:14:30,707 Speaker 3: Look, if they're going to do it, it needs to be very, 1347 01:14:30,787 --> 01:14:34,467 Speaker 3: very limited. It needs to be maybe one forward, one back, 1348 01:14:34,507 --> 01:14:36,427 Speaker 3: having reached a certain number of caps as sort of 1349 01:14:36,467 --> 01:14:40,027 Speaker 3: a thanks to you long service, appreciate it, and we 1350 01:14:40,067 --> 01:14:42,067 Speaker 3: will still want you any part of the team. I 1351 01:14:42,067 --> 01:14:44,747 Speaker 3: wouldn't want it to become widespread, but I think there 1352 01:14:44,747 --> 01:14:49,467 Speaker 3: are certain limitations. You could cap on it and go, Okay, 1353 01:14:49,467 --> 01:14:51,387 Speaker 3: this player's given us All New Zealand. He deserves to 1354 01:14:51,427 --> 01:14:53,707 Speaker 3: go make some yeen abroad and we still want a 1355 01:14:53,747 --> 01:14:56,147 Speaker 3: part of the All Blacks. But if you can make 1356 01:14:56,187 --> 01:15:01,747 Speaker 3: the restrictions and the qualifications for that pretty tight, I 1357 01:15:01,787 --> 01:15:04,827 Speaker 3: would be open to it to an extent, but you 1358 01:15:04,827 --> 01:15:09,747 Speaker 3: wouldn't want it to become wide spreads. Let's top football James, 1359 01:15:09,867 --> 01:15:12,267 Speaker 3: because Auckland f C have forgotten how to lose or 1360 01:15:12,427 --> 01:15:12,907 Speaker 3: liver lost. 1361 01:15:13,827 --> 01:15:16,707 Speaker 6: What's that sorry the Auckland C. Yeah, I was just 1362 01:15:16,747 --> 01:15:18,467 Speaker 6: before we move on there. I was going to say, 1363 01:15:18,627 --> 01:15:20,947 Speaker 6: I think that's a good that's not a bad scheme. 1364 01:15:20,987 --> 01:15:23,307 Speaker 6: If they could do it that way, then maybe that's 1365 01:15:23,587 --> 01:15:25,387 Speaker 6: one way of selling it. But you know, the players 1366 01:15:25,387 --> 01:15:27,627 Speaker 6: who make that sacrifice, then you've got to you know, 1367 01:15:29,027 --> 01:15:31,387 Speaker 6: balance it out for them, otherwise there could be some 1368 01:15:31,427 --> 01:15:35,027 Speaker 6: floodgates opening. But yes, Auckland CE have just kept on 1369 01:15:35,107 --> 01:15:38,467 Speaker 6: winning and kept on keeping a clean sheet. Alex Paulson 1370 01:15:38,507 --> 01:15:42,707 Speaker 6: I heard that he was before the Tiwi Classico the 1371 01:15:43,107 --> 01:15:46,547 Speaker 6: derby with Wellington Phoenix, that he was so stressed out 1372 01:15:46,587 --> 01:15:48,907 Speaker 6: about that, you know, really fearful actually how he's going 1373 01:15:48,987 --> 01:15:51,627 Speaker 6: to get treated down in Wellington. So he's been going 1374 01:15:51,667 --> 01:15:55,107 Speaker 6: on this really emotional roller coaster playing for what is 1375 01:15:55,387 --> 01:15:59,667 Speaker 6: essentially the arch nemesis of his of his beloved Phoenix, 1376 01:15:59,707 --> 01:16:02,987 Speaker 6: and being almost best player on the park and when 1377 01:16:02,987 --> 01:16:06,347 Speaker 6: he's up against the Phoenix again this weekend. So that's 1378 01:16:06,707 --> 01:16:09,427 Speaker 6: a story within the story if you like. But really 1379 01:16:09,467 --> 01:16:10,267 Speaker 6: just what they've. 1380 01:16:10,027 --> 01:16:15,107 Speaker 15: Done is that they've recruited well, Mordno from Columbia, I 1381 01:16:15,107 --> 01:16:20,147 Speaker 15: think scored yesterday, So even their imports have been not 1382 01:16:20,347 --> 01:16:23,067 Speaker 15: really well chosen, and they play a really good style. 1383 01:16:23,107 --> 01:16:25,467 Speaker 6: The only thing that I think is missing from them 1384 01:16:25,587 --> 01:16:28,587 Speaker 6: is creating a few more chances that are clear cut, 1385 01:16:28,707 --> 01:16:31,907 Speaker 6: and it's a little bit frustrating. Sometimes they play these 1386 01:16:31,907 --> 01:16:34,507 Speaker 6: inverted wingers where you know you got someone on the 1387 01:16:34,587 --> 01:16:37,707 Speaker 6: left who's actually right foot, so when they cut back 1388 01:16:37,747 --> 01:16:40,387 Speaker 6: in they can shoot, but conversely it means they don't 1389 01:16:40,387 --> 01:16:44,067 Speaker 6: necessarily cross the ball as well. So when they can 1390 01:16:44,107 --> 01:16:47,587 Speaker 6: sort that out, then I think they'll be scoring in bunches. 1391 01:16:47,267 --> 01:16:49,187 Speaker 3: That darby next week's you got to be huge, isn't 1392 01:16:49,187 --> 01:16:50,587 Speaker 3: it at Mount Smart huge? 1393 01:16:51,387 --> 01:16:55,587 Speaker 6: Yeh, sell out. It's I think it's twenty six thousand, 1394 01:16:55,627 --> 01:17:00,187 Speaker 6: they're saying. So it is messive, and I mean all 1395 01:17:00,267 --> 01:17:02,587 Speaker 6: eyes on the goal is because last time the Phoenix 1396 01:17:02,627 --> 01:17:07,747 Speaker 6: goalie pretty much lost it for the Knicks, and then 1397 01:17:08,387 --> 01:17:12,467 Speaker 6: again Paulson, Let's just see the stress levels he must feel. 1398 01:17:13,067 --> 01:17:17,387 Speaker 6: I mean, in terms of emotions, the most emotional game 1399 01:17:17,907 --> 01:17:20,107 Speaker 6: he's ever had and he's having to back it up 1400 01:17:20,347 --> 01:17:21,507 Speaker 6: a few weeks later. 1401 01:17:21,747 --> 01:17:24,387 Speaker 3: And just finally, James tell me about this, what Tom 1402 01:17:24,387 --> 01:17:27,347 Speaker 3: Molsh and Hamish Caure up to the alt or Athletics Trust. 1403 01:17:27,347 --> 01:17:27,867 Speaker 3: I haven't heard of this. 1404 01:17:28,947 --> 01:17:31,787 Speaker 6: Yeah, this is something that they're starting for young athletes. 1405 01:17:31,787 --> 01:17:33,747 Speaker 6: They're trying to help with the funding. It's really tough, 1406 01:17:33,747 --> 01:17:36,027 Speaker 6: I think for the athletes who are even getting to 1407 01:17:36,027 --> 01:17:39,467 Speaker 6: towards Olympics or definite World Champs level to get any 1408 01:17:39,547 --> 01:17:41,867 Speaker 6: kind of funding. They're always having to juggle jobs and 1409 01:17:42,587 --> 01:17:46,787 Speaker 6: try and scrounge for sponsorship. So this trust is really 1410 01:17:46,827 --> 01:17:48,627 Speaker 6: there to have a look online if you like alt 1411 01:17:48,667 --> 01:17:53,147 Speaker 6: out or Athletics Trust dot com. It's really designed to 1412 01:17:53,187 --> 01:17:55,947 Speaker 6: help the next generation of athletes and you get the 1413 01:17:56,107 --> 01:17:59,947 Speaker 6: expertise of people like Hamish care and Tom Walsho are 1414 01:17:59,987 --> 01:18:03,507 Speaker 6: behind it to help you, you know, as mentors. So 1415 01:18:03,587 --> 01:18:06,867 Speaker 6: when that sort of I was there at the launch 1416 01:18:06,907 --> 01:18:11,307 Speaker 6: about a week ago and they just invited a few 1417 01:18:11,747 --> 01:18:14,627 Speaker 6: key stakeholders and me. I don't know why I was there, 1418 01:18:14,667 --> 01:18:16,547 Speaker 6: but it was a free lunch. 1419 01:18:16,547 --> 01:18:17,427 Speaker 5: Elliott, here we go. 1420 01:18:18,467 --> 01:18:21,587 Speaker 6: Yeah, and no such thing I have to talk about 1421 01:18:21,627 --> 01:18:22,307 Speaker 6: on radio now. 1422 01:18:22,347 --> 01:18:22,547 Speaker 18: But no. 1423 01:18:22,867 --> 01:18:26,067 Speaker 6: I think what they're doing really is trying to get 1424 01:18:27,387 --> 01:18:29,747 Speaker 6: away from the funding models that don't work for everyone. 1425 01:18:29,827 --> 01:18:32,947 Speaker 6: For every Olympic medalist and athlete, there's about four or 1426 01:18:32,987 --> 01:18:36,227 Speaker 6: five others who fall by the wayside and sometimes never 1427 01:18:36,267 --> 01:18:39,787 Speaker 6: ever realized their potential. I mean just a recent example 1428 01:18:39,907 --> 01:18:45,067 Speaker 6: might be Eddie and Kitty at the sprinter. So if 1429 01:18:45,107 --> 01:18:48,027 Speaker 6: you're interested in that and you think that you'd like to, 1430 01:18:48,147 --> 01:18:51,067 Speaker 6: if you're keen on your athletics and you think it's 1431 01:18:50,747 --> 01:18:54,907 Speaker 6: an important sport, which I think it really is, and 1432 01:18:55,187 --> 01:18:58,747 Speaker 6: go to Alturtleathletics trust dot com and find out how 1433 01:18:58,787 --> 01:19:01,187 Speaker 6: you can donate and find out about their events. And 1434 01:19:01,627 --> 01:19:04,187 Speaker 6: in the case of Hamish Curve, I think he's going 1435 01:19:04,227 --> 01:19:06,827 Speaker 6: to compete at least twice over the summer. I mean, 1436 01:19:06,867 --> 01:19:10,267 Speaker 6: remember this is the Olympic gold medalist high jumper, and 1437 01:19:10,307 --> 01:19:13,307 Speaker 6: I think it'll be at the Brook's Gardens and Wanga 1438 01:19:13,387 --> 01:19:15,307 Speaker 6: Nui's so good, oh Wanganu, he's going to get a 1439 01:19:15,307 --> 01:19:18,427 Speaker 6: look at him. And also the National Champs in Dunedan, 1440 01:19:18,907 --> 01:19:22,547 Speaker 6: so that's where you'll get to see the great man himself. 1441 01:19:22,667 --> 01:19:25,027 Speaker 3: Ah good. I mean you're obviously at started to France 1442 01:19:25,067 --> 01:19:27,507 Speaker 3: last year with me at the World Cup commentating those 1443 01:19:27,547 --> 01:19:29,307 Speaker 3: guys I looked, you know, started to France and I 1444 01:19:29,307 --> 01:19:31,547 Speaker 3: was there a couple of weeks back, and they'll go. 1445 01:19:31,627 --> 01:19:34,507 Speaker 3: That's where hamous Kerr got the gold medal. That's where 1446 01:19:34,507 --> 01:19:35,747 Speaker 3: he got it. I was and he did the run 1447 01:19:35,787 --> 01:19:39,307 Speaker 3: around the track. It was so good exactly, I know. 1448 01:19:39,347 --> 01:19:41,267 Speaker 6: And I didn't even make it to that although I 1449 01:19:41,387 --> 01:19:45,187 Speaker 6: just think that like that, that moment is just so exceptional. 1450 01:19:45,227 --> 01:19:47,147 Speaker 6: We've never seen anything like that. I mean, you met 1451 01:19:47,147 --> 01:19:50,267 Speaker 6: Williams one and the long jumper, you know, high jump 1452 01:19:50,267 --> 01:19:52,747 Speaker 6: in the modern era is just that. We never see 1453 01:19:52,747 --> 01:19:56,427 Speaker 6: the New Zealand flag, you know, anywhere close to the podium, 1454 01:19:56,467 --> 01:20:00,427 Speaker 6: and now we've got this guy who's right at the top. It's, yeah, 1455 01:20:00,587 --> 01:20:03,467 Speaker 6: something special for the sport. And also you can trace 1456 01:20:03,587 --> 01:20:07,667 Speaker 6: athletics back to a lot of you know, top sports 1457 01:20:07,707 --> 01:20:10,227 Speaker 6: people here in New Zealand in their past. You know 1458 01:20:10,307 --> 01:20:13,427 Speaker 6: there's Sunny Bill has been involved, you know, so many 1459 01:20:13,467 --> 01:20:17,027 Speaker 6: of our rugby players, cricketers. Yep, we're great in athletics 1460 01:20:17,787 --> 01:20:20,867 Speaker 6: and netball. So this is the thing. I think it's 1461 01:20:20,907 --> 01:20:24,387 Speaker 6: still really important and go out there and support that 1462 01:20:24,547 --> 01:20:27,987 Speaker 6: sport because you know, this is where it's the building 1463 01:20:27,987 --> 01:20:30,187 Speaker 6: blocks and we want to be part of the prestige sport. 1464 01:20:30,267 --> 01:20:32,827 Speaker 6: I think of the Olympics the way we were in. 1465 01:20:32,747 --> 01:20:35,707 Speaker 3: Paris absolutely James Laconey is always thank you very much 1466 01:20:35,707 --> 01:20:38,187 Speaker 3: for your time on a Sunday afternoon. Appreciate it. 1467 01:20:38,267 --> 01:20:39,067 Speaker 6: Cheers Elliott. 1468 01:20:39,467 --> 01:20:41,547 Speaker 3: That is James Laconey joining us as he does on 1469 01:20:41,587 --> 01:20:46,027 Speaker 3: a Sunday afternoon here on News Talk ZB and Weekend Sport. 1470 01:20:46,107 --> 01:20:48,067 Speaker 3: Take a break, come back, wrap up the hour up 1471 01:20:48,147 --> 01:20:50,307 Speaker 3: after this on News Talk ZB, where it is coming 1472 01:20:50,387 --> 01:20:51,427 Speaker 3: up eight away from two. 1473 01:20:51,547 --> 01:20:55,187 Speaker 1: From breaking down the Hail Mary's and the Olympic field 1474 01:20:56,827 --> 01:20:59,507 Speaker 1: Weekend Sport News Talk ZB. 1475 01:20:59,907 --> 01:21:02,427 Speaker 3: A couple more techs on the rugby to finish the hour. 1476 01:21:02,667 --> 01:21:04,787 Speaker 3: Ed with this, the Box used fifty players and only 1477 01:21:04,787 --> 01:21:06,987 Speaker 3: lost two matches. The Box now have f fifty players 1478 01:21:06,987 --> 01:21:11,627 Speaker 3: of test game capable capability. All they tried all different ways, 1479 01:21:11,707 --> 01:21:16,587 Speaker 3: change things and ideas. I think that New Zealand would 1480 01:21:16,587 --> 01:21:18,507 Speaker 3: have put on a different, complete, different team against Italy, 1481 01:21:18,667 --> 01:21:20,947 Speaker 3: a team that most provincial teams and some senior club 1482 01:21:20,947 --> 01:21:24,547 Speaker 3: teams would beat. They did retain a lot of players 1483 01:21:24,587 --> 01:21:26,867 Speaker 3: from the World Cup because of their selection policy, is 1484 01:21:26,867 --> 01:21:28,827 Speaker 3: the one thing I'd point out there. Ed, I think 1485 01:21:28,827 --> 01:21:32,907 Speaker 3: they only lost one or two players to retirements. Another 1486 01:21:32,907 --> 01:21:35,507 Speaker 3: one says there's only shock locks this year was Argentina, 1487 01:21:35,587 --> 01:21:38,947 Speaker 3: but we can't keep changing our tens. We need to 1488 01:21:39,027 --> 01:21:41,947 Speaker 3: build and Christmas, I played rugby back in the late 1489 01:21:41,987 --> 01:21:46,267 Speaker 3: eighties and nineties that recall over three hundred k registered players, 1490 01:21:46,307 --> 01:21:48,387 Speaker 3: now close to half that number, including the growth in 1491 01:21:48,427 --> 01:21:51,067 Speaker 3: women's rugby.

Tim Soudy 1497 01:22:04,587 --> 01:22:08,827 Speaker 3: charging in from the porthills in christ Church to try 1498 01:22:08,907 --> 01:22:11,827 Speaker 3: and get some wickets and get the Black Cabs maybe 1499 01:22:11,827 --> 01:22:15,427 Speaker 3: a sniff of winning this Test match.

However that asterix he's been penalized the spot, 1567 01:26:05,907 --> 01:26:08,547 Speaker 3: so he'll start from second on the Gridley and Lawson 1568 01:26:08,947 --> 01:26:12,307 Speaker 3: with a frustrating at seventeenth in qualifying.

We're not going to get one here. 1574 01:26:27,107 --> 01:26:30,307 Speaker 19: New Zealand's way for the four world bounce and it 1575 01:26:30,347 --> 01:26:32,867 Speaker 19: will sit up beheadedly. 1576 01:26:32,227 --> 01:26:37,427 Speaker 20: For Felipe Sutkaranga beg win it and now New Zealand's 1577 01:26:37,427 --> 01:26:38,427 Speaker 20: face is out of their. 1578 01:26:38,267 --> 01:26:40,747 Speaker 3: Hands indeed losing to Spain, but they did get through 1579 01:26:40,787 --> 01:26:44,187 Speaker 3: to the quarterfinals and they'll play South Africa who they 1580 01:26:44,307 --> 01:26:47,187 Speaker 3: lost to of course to be knocked out of the Olympics. 1581 01:26:48,347 --> 01:26:51,307 Speaker 3: So that is overnight tonight, be hating happy and use 1582 01:26:51,587 --> 01:26:53,627 Speaker 3: the Black Fern Sevens on a bit of a roll 1583 01:26:53,947 --> 01:26:55,187 Speaker 3: to make it through to the corners. 1584 01:26:55,227 --> 01:26:58,027 Speaker 19: As this one's been plucked away by Caitlin Vaja Calo. 1585 01:26:58,387 --> 01:27:00,547 Speaker 19: She has lit up world rugby the last couple of 1586 01:27:00,627 --> 01:27:02,587 Speaker 19: years and doing it on the seven series. 1587 01:27:02,787 --> 01:27:04,027 Speaker 17: Caitlin Vaha Calo. 1588 01:27:03,867 --> 01:27:06,947 Speaker 3: Gets the dry three wins, three matches for the Black 1589 01:27:07,027 --> 01:27:09,627 Speaker 3: Fern Sevens. Let's go to the Premier League. A high 1590 01:27:09,627 --> 01:27:12,987 Speaker 3: scoring of fear between Arsenal and Wistam under. 1591 01:27:12,827 --> 01:27:16,867 Speaker 20: Kosaka by the girl kicker stuff. But it's going to 1592 01:27:16,907 --> 01:27:23,307 Speaker 20: be five two to Arsenal in all probability. The honest 1593 01:27:23,387 --> 01:27:25,987 Speaker 20: and most eye catching of halftime. 1594 01:27:25,507 --> 01:27:28,787 Speaker 3: Scores and that was how it remained five to two 1595 01:27:28,867 --> 01:27:31,827 Speaker 3: the full time score. Let's stay with the Premier League 1596 01:27:32,187 --> 01:27:34,947 Speaker 3: and another win for Nottingham Forest with the goal once 1597 01:27:35,027 --> 01:27:37,867 Speaker 3: again from our man Chris. 1598 01:27:37,627 --> 01:27:42,667 Speaker 19: Wood is record equalegue straight from Chris Wood. 1599 01:27:44,107 --> 01:27:46,307 Speaker 3: He joins Brian Lloy as. 1600 01:27:46,267 --> 01:27:49,707 Speaker 19: Nothing in Forest's most chronic Premier League goal scorer. 1601 01:27:51,027 --> 01:27:54,787 Speaker 1: Analyzing every view from every angle in the sporting world 1602 01:27:54,907 --> 01:27:56,067 Speaker 1: weekend Sport. 1603 01:28:00,067 --> 01:28:02,867 Speaker 3: Let's talk some more football here on news Talk ZIBB. 1604 01:28:03,067 --> 01:28:08,267 Speaker 3: Manchester City on a diabolical run of form at the moment, 1605 01:28:08,347 --> 01:28:11,227 Speaker 3: quite unbelievable the run that the four time champions of 1606 01:28:11,267 --> 01:28:12,387 Speaker 3: England are currently on. 1607 01:28:12,707 --> 01:28:14,987 Speaker 20: This will be the most high catching score line right 1608 01:28:15,027 --> 01:28:21,307 Speaker 20: across Europe this weekend. And it's five, yes, five consecutive defeats. 1609 01:28:21,147 --> 01:28:24,187 Speaker 3: For the champions and that three all draw against final 1610 01:28:24,227 --> 01:28:26,747 Speaker 3: would after being three nil up as well. To add 1611 01:28:26,867 --> 01:28:30,907 Speaker 3: into the mixed legs heat across to Manchester. BBC radio 1612 01:28:31,027 --> 01:28:35,227 Speaker 3: football commentator and a reporter for Manchester City is Mike 1613 01:28:35,307 --> 01:28:38,147 Speaker 3: mc name and he joins us now on news Talks. 1614 01:28:38,187 --> 01:28:41,427 Speaker 3: He be Mike thinks so much for joining us. No problem, well, 1615 01:28:41,467 --> 01:28:44,347 Speaker 3: broad question, what on earth has gone wrong with Manchester 1616 01:28:44,387 --> 01:28:46,787 Speaker 3: City start worry if you. 1617 01:28:46,907 --> 01:28:49,667 Speaker 9: Like it is, Yeah, I mean how long does your show? 1618 01:28:51,707 --> 01:28:51,747 Speaker 18: Do? 1619 01:28:51,787 --> 01:28:52,187 Speaker 3: You know what? 1620 01:28:52,667 --> 01:28:56,747 Speaker 21: There are many many factors behind this, I think, but slowly, 1621 01:28:56,787 --> 01:29:00,667 Speaker 21: week by week we are kind of learning which factors 1622 01:29:00,707 --> 01:29:03,907 Speaker 21: are our most important. So the one that will go 1623 01:29:03,947 --> 01:29:06,547 Speaker 21: over the whole season is roder and Rodger's injury. I 1624 01:29:06,547 --> 01:29:11,427 Speaker 21: think he he is obviously a crucial player. The argument 1625 01:29:11,507 --> 01:29:13,907 Speaker 21: for him being the ball on door winner, which he was, 1626 01:29:13,907 --> 01:29:17,667 Speaker 21: was simply I think with all the other contenders, somebody 1627 01:29:17,667 --> 01:29:20,307 Speaker 21: else could do their job to a better ability or 1628 01:29:20,307 --> 01:29:23,667 Speaker 21: the similar ability. So you know, Vinicius Junior for example, 1629 01:29:23,667 --> 01:29:26,507 Speaker 21: where you could there are other wide wingers and Bape 1630 01:29:26,587 --> 01:29:29,627 Speaker 21: for example, who could possibly do a similar job. Arling 1631 01:29:29,627 --> 01:29:32,227 Speaker 21: Harland was in the contention, you can find other goal scorers. 1632 01:29:32,427 --> 01:29:36,067 Speaker 21: And with RODERI nobody can do Roger's job better than 1633 01:29:36,147 --> 01:29:39,547 Speaker 21: roder And and nobody. You know, there's not a team 1634 01:29:39,587 --> 01:29:41,987 Speaker 21: in the world that Rodri doesn't walk into. So I 1635 01:29:41,987 --> 01:29:44,027 Speaker 21: think that's that's one big factor missing him. But that 1636 01:29:44,027 --> 01:29:46,387 Speaker 21: shouldn't be the only factor. That shouldn't be an excuse 1637 01:29:46,867 --> 01:29:50,507 Speaker 21: not to win another game ever again, so I think 1638 01:29:50,707 --> 01:29:53,947 Speaker 21: within that they you then look at the number of 1639 01:29:53,947 --> 01:29:56,347 Speaker 21: injuries and I think this is quite crucial. At one point, 1640 01:29:56,427 --> 01:30:03,467 Speaker 21: Manchester City we're missing Rodrick Walker, Stones, Diaz, Docu, Grealish, 1641 01:30:03,827 --> 01:30:06,827 Speaker 21: I've missed a Kokovacic. If you if you look at that, 1642 01:30:07,787 --> 01:30:11,547 Speaker 21: I think there's an obvious you know, any team that's 1643 01:30:11,587 --> 01:30:14,587 Speaker 21: missing eight first team members would would struggle, and that 1644 01:30:14,627 --> 01:30:16,347 Speaker 21: has happened to Manchester do they are getting some of 1645 01:30:16,387 --> 01:30:19,667 Speaker 21: those backs. So when I said that, we're learning, you know, 1646 01:30:19,707 --> 01:30:21,907 Speaker 21: perhaps how important each factor is. If we're gonna look 1647 01:30:21,907 --> 01:30:24,787 Speaker 21: at injuries, we're starting to learn just how important that's been. 1648 01:30:25,027 --> 01:30:27,827 Speaker 21: If results pick up when injuries come back, then then 1649 01:30:27,827 --> 01:30:30,387 Speaker 21: we can say that is ultimately the biggest factor. I 1650 01:30:30,387 --> 01:30:32,467 Speaker 21: think one of them was Pep Guardiola's contract, but that's 1651 01:30:32,507 --> 01:30:34,427 Speaker 21: now been sorted. We know he's got two more years 1652 01:30:35,107 --> 01:30:38,147 Speaker 21: and they're still losing, so maybe it isn't the biggest factor. 1653 01:30:39,227 --> 01:30:42,147 Speaker 21: And finally is I think the other one to look 1654 01:30:42,187 --> 01:30:45,387 Speaker 21: at is possibly an aging squad. So you've got Ilkai 1655 01:30:45,427 --> 01:30:48,187 Speaker 21: Gunder and his back after a year out, and it's 1656 01:30:48,227 --> 01:30:50,907 Speaker 21: amazing almost what a year out can do. I think 1657 01:30:50,987 --> 01:30:54,267 Speaker 21: he doesn't quite look as on it or as sharp 1658 01:30:54,547 --> 01:30:58,107 Speaker 21: as he did in twenty twenty three when he left. 1659 01:30:58,187 --> 01:31:00,027 Speaker 21: Is the trouble winning captain. I think the other ones 1660 01:31:00,027 --> 01:31:02,107 Speaker 21: to keep an eye on is Kyle Walker, who used 1661 01:31:02,107 --> 01:31:04,587 Speaker 21: to be able to give attackers ten yards and still 1662 01:31:04,627 --> 01:31:07,307 Speaker 21: make that back when defending. I don't think he's quite 1663 01:31:07,307 --> 01:31:08,907 Speaker 21: got that now. I think he's lost a little bit 1664 01:31:08,947 --> 01:31:10,827 Speaker 21: of that pace, whether he accepts it or not. So 1665 01:31:10,947 --> 01:31:14,747 Speaker 21: I think, overall, very long winded answer. I appreciate when 1666 01:31:14,747 --> 01:31:17,987 Speaker 21: you combine all those factors, there is an issue in 1667 01:31:17,987 --> 01:31:22,387 Speaker 21: Manchester City that they're all combining together. And confidence is 1668 01:31:22,427 --> 01:31:24,507 Speaker 21: such a fragile thing. So when one of those things 1669 01:31:24,507 --> 01:31:26,787 Speaker 21: starts to go wrong and the results start to turn, 1670 01:31:27,347 --> 01:31:29,027 Speaker 21: then it starts to have a knock on effects. And 1671 01:31:29,067 --> 01:31:31,947 Speaker 21: we've seen that with the five straight defeats. I think 1672 01:31:31,947 --> 01:31:34,547 Speaker 21: we saw it in midweek against fire Ord in the 1673 01:31:34,627 --> 01:31:37,867 Speaker 21: Champions League in that from three nil up City a 1674 01:31:37,907 --> 01:31:39,947 Speaker 21: year ago would not have thrown that away. And people 1675 01:31:40,027 --> 01:31:42,267 Speaker 21: have looked at the changes Pep Guardiola made that night, 1676 01:31:42,947 --> 01:31:45,027 Speaker 21: and he'd have made those changes a year ago and 1677 01:31:45,427 --> 01:31:48,307 Speaker 21: it wouldn't have it wouldn't have had an impact and 1678 01:31:48,587 --> 01:31:49,987 Speaker 21: they'd have won the game three nil. They might not 1679 01:31:50,027 --> 01:31:51,547 Speaker 21: have got a fourth, but they'd have won three nil. 1680 01:31:51,867 --> 01:31:53,747 Speaker 21: But I think soon as that goal went in. You 1681 01:31:53,907 --> 01:31:57,387 Speaker 21: had a slightly put together side, a tired side, but 1682 01:31:57,507 --> 01:32:01,227 Speaker 21: an inexperienced side in some of the positions, and you 1683 01:32:01,507 --> 01:32:03,347 Speaker 21: just for the first time in a long time, felt 1684 01:32:03,387 --> 01:32:05,827 Speaker 21: that actually three to one meant the game wasn't done 1685 01:32:06,067 --> 01:32:09,427 Speaker 21: as it wasn't it wasn't done. So yeah, a lot 1686 01:32:09,427 --> 01:32:13,027 Speaker 21: of factors. It's certainly made it an interesting talking point 1687 01:32:13,027 --> 01:32:15,027 Speaker 21: for a club that actually over the past few years 1688 01:32:15,027 --> 01:32:17,787 Speaker 21: have been pretty boring to talk about because they're winning 1689 01:32:17,787 --> 01:32:20,107 Speaker 21: all the time. So now we've got something new to 1690 01:32:20,187 --> 01:32:20,707 Speaker 21: talk about. 1691 01:32:20,827 --> 01:32:25,947 Speaker 3: Certainly, how is Pitt Guardile handling this run of defeats 1692 01:32:26,027 --> 01:32:28,827 Speaker 3: or six games without a win, because he wouldn't have 1693 01:32:29,027 --> 01:32:32,907 Speaker 3: had this in his entire managerial career to this point, 1694 01:32:32,907 --> 01:32:37,387 Speaker 3: As you mentioned Manchester's he accustomed to sixties. But some 1695 01:32:37,427 --> 01:32:40,987 Speaker 3: of those issues you mentioned there are compelling factors behind it. 1696 01:32:41,027 --> 01:32:43,267 Speaker 3: But how's Pitt Guardy handling. 1697 01:32:42,947 --> 01:32:43,227 Speaker 12: All this. 1698 01:32:44,987 --> 01:32:46,547 Speaker 9: With steely determination? 1699 01:32:46,827 --> 01:32:49,547 Speaker 21: He is now repeating a lot in his press conferences 1700 01:32:49,547 --> 01:32:53,867 Speaker 21: that he's here, that he wants the challenge, that he 1701 01:32:53,867 --> 01:32:54,387 Speaker 21: he's up. 1702 01:32:54,307 --> 01:32:54,867 Speaker 3: For the fight. 1703 01:32:55,347 --> 01:32:57,307 Speaker 21: You know, he wants to find new ways. 1704 01:32:57,347 --> 01:32:58,067 Speaker 3: That is his job. 1705 01:32:58,107 --> 01:33:03,027 Speaker 21: He realizes that he keeps sometimes referencing twenty sixteen in 1706 01:33:03,187 --> 01:33:06,907 Speaker 21: that when he first came to the club was written 1707 01:33:06,947 --> 01:33:09,987 Speaker 21: off in the first season was a failure. Could he 1708 01:33:10,027 --> 01:33:12,987 Speaker 21: crack the Premier League? And he's certainly in the other 1709 01:33:13,147 --> 01:33:15,347 Speaker 21: seven years eight years he's been here has shown as 1710 01:33:16,107 --> 01:33:19,547 Speaker 21: that he most perfectly can't, you know, find the solutions 1711 01:33:19,587 --> 01:33:21,587 Speaker 21: and he keeps changing his taxics. It's not the same 1712 01:33:21,587 --> 01:33:23,867 Speaker 21: Manchester City style that was there in twenty seventeen. The 1713 01:33:23,867 --> 01:33:27,107 Speaker 21: core basics are the same, but there's other little methods 1714 01:33:27,147 --> 01:33:30,227 Speaker 21: around it and intricacies that he's worked on. So this 1715 01:33:30,347 --> 01:33:33,067 Speaker 21: is just the latest challenging. He has said that he 1716 01:33:33,107 --> 01:33:35,387 Speaker 21: said to the board with his contract that give me 1717 01:33:35,467 --> 01:33:38,987 Speaker 21: the chance, let me turn this around, let me find 1718 01:33:39,027 --> 01:33:41,387 Speaker 21: the next solution. So he's yeah, he's certainly ready for 1719 01:33:41,427 --> 01:33:41,787 Speaker 21: the fight. 1720 01:33:42,147 --> 01:33:46,387 Speaker 3: The fan base his were touched on have had some success. 1721 01:33:46,427 --> 01:33:50,027 Speaker 3: They often coming for criticism. The Manchester City fan base 1722 01:33:50,347 --> 01:33:52,507 Speaker 3: in the one that sort of swelled in recent times 1723 01:33:52,667 --> 01:33:55,427 Speaker 3: is the success has gone on. But you know what, 1724 01:33:55,667 --> 01:33:58,107 Speaker 3: they're not banging for blood of pic Guardiola, are they? 1725 01:33:59,547 --> 01:33:59,707 Speaker 1: No? 1726 01:33:59,787 --> 01:34:00,187 Speaker 9: Not yet. 1727 01:34:02,307 --> 01:34:04,547 Speaker 21: I think that there is a portion of the fans 1728 01:34:04,547 --> 01:34:07,187 Speaker 21: base that have only known success or. I think there 1729 01:34:07,187 --> 01:34:09,467 Speaker 21: are some that have sadly just got used to the success. 1730 01:34:09,507 --> 01:34:13,187 Speaker 21: So any dipping standards, You know, no side is going 1731 01:34:13,227 --> 01:34:15,667 Speaker 21: to win every title every year forever, and I think 1732 01:34:15,667 --> 01:34:20,427 Speaker 21: anything below first place in Manchester City is a disappointment, 1733 01:34:20,627 --> 01:34:24,267 Speaker 21: but a lot of a patient and a lot of 1734 01:34:24,267 --> 01:34:26,947 Speaker 21: appreciate what they've done for Premier League titles in a row, 1735 01:34:27,267 --> 01:34:30,347 Speaker 21: something that no other side's done before. So I think, yeah, 1736 01:34:30,827 --> 01:34:33,187 Speaker 21: he's got a lot of credit in the bank. Pep Guardiola. 1737 01:34:33,667 --> 01:34:35,227 Speaker 21: There was a joke going around our office the other 1738 01:34:35,307 --> 01:34:37,547 Speaker 21: day just how many more would they have to lose 1739 01:34:37,627 --> 01:34:40,827 Speaker 21: before he before he lost his job, But the conclusion 1740 01:34:40,987 --> 01:34:43,507 Speaker 21: was still they are, you know, a long way off 1741 01:34:43,667 --> 01:34:45,027 Speaker 21: even contemplating that. 1742 01:34:45,107 --> 01:34:47,507 Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't get any easy. At five am tomorrow morning, 1743 01:34:47,507 --> 01:34:51,067 Speaker 3: New Zealand time Liverpool at Enfield, and then you've got 1744 01:34:51,107 --> 01:34:54,707 Speaker 3: Nottingham Forest featuring New Zealand goal scoring machine Chris would 1745 01:34:54,707 --> 01:34:57,307 Speaker 3: to face off against later in the week. So look, 1746 01:34:57,387 --> 01:35:00,747 Speaker 3: a couple of trickier fears for Manchester City to navigate 1747 01:35:00,827 --> 01:35:02,987 Speaker 3: over the coming days as well. Really tough ass when 1748 01:35:02,987 --> 01:35:05,267 Speaker 3: you haven't won in eat in the last six. 1749 01:35:06,427 --> 01:35:09,307 Speaker 21: Yeah, well, let's quickly just touch on Forrest at home. 1750 01:35:09,347 --> 01:35:12,027 Speaker 21: You had backed Manchester City to win the game and 1751 01:35:12,307 --> 01:35:15,467 Speaker 21: Forest wouldn't have been in contention. However, with Spurs winning 1752 01:35:15,787 --> 01:35:17,347 Speaker 21: at thet he had the first team to do so 1753 01:35:17,387 --> 01:35:20,627 Speaker 21: in two years. Then suddenly that changes things and as 1754 01:35:20,627 --> 01:35:22,747 Speaker 21: you say, yeah, Chris Wood is certainly going to be 1755 01:35:22,747 --> 01:35:25,147 Speaker 21: a handful. It'll be interesting to see what defenders are 1756 01:35:25,187 --> 01:35:29,747 Speaker 21: around then to handle. Chris Wood bought the bigger game, 1757 01:35:29,827 --> 01:35:33,307 Speaker 21: the most important game. Let's not beat around the bush. 1758 01:35:33,427 --> 01:35:36,547 Speaker 21: Let's call it a title deciding game or title race 1759 01:35:36,627 --> 01:35:38,667 Speaker 21: deciding to see if Manchester City are perhaps still in 1760 01:35:38,707 --> 01:35:39,307 Speaker 21: the races? 1761 01:35:39,867 --> 01:35:41,267 Speaker 3: Is it Liverpool. 1762 01:35:41,627 --> 01:35:45,907 Speaker 21: It's at Anfield, a ground that Manchester City notoriously struggle out. 1763 01:35:45,947 --> 01:35:49,427 Speaker 21: They've had two wins there since two thousand and three. 1764 01:35:49,547 --> 01:35:51,747 Speaker 21: One of those was behind closed doors in COVID that 1765 01:35:51,827 --> 01:35:53,707 Speaker 21: the other victory in two thousand and three was the 1766 01:35:53,787 --> 01:35:57,267 Speaker 21: last time City won there. With fans, they don't particularly 1767 01:35:57,387 --> 01:36:00,667 Speaker 21: enjoy going to Anfield. They've had some really rough experiences there. 1768 01:36:00,667 --> 01:36:02,827 Speaker 21: They've got to draw there last year. Johnstone's open the 1769 01:36:02,827 --> 01:36:06,107 Speaker 21: score in McAllister equalize. But this is a Liverpool side, 1770 01:36:07,067 --> 01:36:10,427 Speaker 21: despite the questions over him. With Jurgen Klop departing, actually 1771 01:36:10,427 --> 01:36:13,347 Speaker 21: have had the second best start in Premier League history. 1772 01:36:13,427 --> 01:36:15,987 Speaker 21: They are. They're a ruthless machine at the minute. They 1773 01:36:16,067 --> 01:36:20,227 Speaker 21: beat the European champions Real Madrid on Wednesday night and 1774 01:36:20,307 --> 01:36:24,107 Speaker 21: Anfield as well. So I think most important for Manchester 1775 01:36:24,187 --> 01:36:26,707 Speaker 21: City is to get the first goal. If Liverpool get 1776 01:36:26,747 --> 01:36:30,307 Speaker 21: the first goal, I fear where Citi's heads will be 1777 01:36:30,387 --> 01:36:33,587 Speaker 21: at Anfield will be baying for blood and there's a 1778 01:36:33,667 --> 01:36:36,027 Speaker 21: danger I think that, you know, Liverpool could could. 1779 01:36:35,947 --> 01:36:36,667 Speaker 9: Run away with it. 1780 01:36:37,067 --> 01:36:39,907 Speaker 21: Eleven points if Liverpool win is the gap. I think 1781 01:36:39,947 --> 01:36:42,587 Speaker 21: that's too insurmountable for Manchester City, even at this early 1782 01:36:42,627 --> 01:36:43,387 Speaker 21: point in the season. 1783 01:36:43,867 --> 01:36:45,667 Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Mike Mana great to check with 1784 01:36:45,747 --> 01:36:48,507 Speaker 3: you on news talk z be this afternoon BBC Radio 1785 01:36:48,667 --> 01:36:51,427 Speaker 3: Manchester commentator and reporter. You say a game five a 1786 01:36:51,547 --> 01:36:54,867 Speaker 3: him tomorrow and morning we have Manchester City gone wrong. 1787 01:36:56,587 --> 01:37:00,307 Speaker 3: I li if the country for five weeks and returned 1788 01:37:00,347 --> 01:37:01,867 Speaker 3: and they haven't won a single game in that time. 1789 01:37:03,907 --> 01:37:06,827 Speaker 3: Liverpool fans, you must be absolutely locking you all lips 1790 01:37:07,827 --> 01:37:12,827 Speaker 3: at the prospect of facing Manchester City at Anfield and 1791 01:37:12,867 --> 01:37:17,187 Speaker 3: the lines Den tomorrow morning. For a text or one 1792 01:37:17,227 --> 01:37:18,587 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eight if you've got a thought 1793 01:37:18,587 --> 01:37:23,027 Speaker 3: on that, have to hear from you football fans very shortly. 1794 01:37:23,107 --> 01:37:26,547 Speaker 3: We'll check it on Auckland EFC as well. Get some 1795 01:37:26,547 --> 01:37:32,067 Speaker 3: thoughts from Jacob Spoonley on how they have tracked through 1796 01:37:32,107 --> 01:37:35,907 Speaker 3: the opening five games of the season. Fifteen points in 1797 01:37:35,987 --> 01:37:41,307 Speaker 3: the bag for Auckland FC this season. England must have 1798 01:37:41,347 --> 01:37:45,787 Speaker 3: a late tea time. I'm guessing having the booked out 1799 01:37:45,787 --> 01:37:53,027 Speaker 3: at clear Water, Roussly, Pegasus, maybe Shirley somewhere in christ Church. 1800 01:37:53,747 --> 01:37:57,547 Speaker 3: Feels like they've got something on this afternoon. This England team. 1801 01:37:58,827 --> 01:38:01,227 Speaker 3: I think in the time we spoke with Mike, they've 1802 01:38:01,267 --> 01:38:05,227 Speaker 3: added forty runs and this Test is going to be 1803 01:38:05,227 --> 01:38:13,387 Speaker 3: over relatively quickly. I suspect fifty five for one England 1804 01:38:14,587 --> 01:38:17,307 Speaker 3: six point five overs down. They need forty nine more 1805 01:38:17,387 --> 01:38:21,107 Speaker 3: runs to win. Nathan Smith's first over with the ball 1806 01:38:21,147 --> 01:38:23,907 Speaker 3: has yet to be complete. It is now complete. He 1807 01:38:23,947 --> 01:38:29,747 Speaker 3: has gone for sixteen runs. We'll check in with Andrew 1808 01:38:29,827 --> 01:38:33,227 Speaker 3: Ordison later in the hour. We might indeed be wrapping 1809 01:38:33,307 --> 01:38:36,987 Speaker 3: up a Test match if England continue at this rate 1810 01:38:37,027 --> 01:38:39,107 Speaker 3: of knots text line open or anything you want to 1811 01:38:39,147 --> 01:38:43,707 Speaker 3: get stuck into nine two nine two the number. I 1812 01:38:43,707 --> 01:38:45,867 Speaker 3: think we can probably start talking about some changes to 1813 01:38:45,867 --> 01:38:47,467 Speaker 3: the black Caps as well if you want to do that, 1814 01:38:47,547 --> 01:38:51,947 Speaker 3: because barring nine wickets of forty nine, they're going to 1815 01:38:51,987 --> 01:38:54,307 Speaker 3: be one nil down in a matter of time. Twenty 1816 01:38:54,347 --> 01:38:56,707 Speaker 3: two after two on Newstalk ZI be back with more. 1817 01:38:56,587 --> 01:39:00,627 Speaker 1: After this it's more than just a game weekends for 1818 01:39:01,067 --> 01:39:04,987 Speaker 1: with GJ Gunnos, New Zealand's most trusted home builder, News 1819 01:39:04,987 --> 01:39:05,547 Speaker 1: Talk MB. 1820 01:39:06,707 --> 01:39:09,627 Speaker 3: Twenty five after two on news TALKSZBA.

Ducket gave himself 1825 01:39:26,027 --> 01:39:29,507 Speaker 22: him outside the legs something just ramped it straight to 1826 01:39:29,627 --> 01:39:30,787 Speaker 22: the man at third. 1827 01:39:30,547 --> 01:39:33,267 Speaker 3: Man England now fifty nine for so they need forty 1828 01:39:33,347 --> 01:39:35,027 Speaker 3: five to win.

Good afternoon, Jacob, 1837 01:40:15,427 --> 01:40:18,547 Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Elliott. Look all my time's coming on this 1838 01:40:18,707 --> 01:40:22,027 Speaker 3: wonderful show. Today feels different. I don't want to say 1839 01:40:22,107 --> 01:40:25,467 Speaker 3: dear to Elliott, but it's hitting that way. I can't 1840 01:40:25,467 --> 01:40:27,547 Speaker 3: put my finger on what exactly it is though, mate. 1841 01:40:27,627 --> 01:40:29,467 Speaker 3: Oh look I can't put my finger on it either, 1842 01:40:29,507 --> 01:40:33,307 Speaker 3: But let's let's see what we can do in this chat. 1843 01:40:33,347 --> 01:40:35,947 Speaker 3: Five in a row. Who would have picked that, Jacob? 1844 01:40:36,187 --> 01:40:39,307 Speaker 3: I mean, what world would you have expected an expansion 1845 01:40:39,347 --> 01:40:41,867 Speaker 3: team to bank fifteen points from their first five games. 1846 01:40:43,267 --> 01:40:47,627 Speaker 7: It is absolutely remarkable, Elliott. But I think it is 1847 01:40:47,667 --> 01:40:51,547 Speaker 7: an indication as to the quiet work gets gone on 1848 01:40:51,987 --> 01:40:54,827 Speaker 7: in football over the last ten years. The player development 1849 01:40:54,867 --> 01:40:57,027 Speaker 7: side of things has been there, and we know we've 1850 01:40:57,027 --> 01:41:01,347 Speaker 7: got this young cohort coming through. We also know that 1851 01:41:01,387 --> 01:41:06,107 Speaker 7: we've been underrepresented in the A leagues as kiwis Awkland 1852 01:41:06,507 --> 01:41:11,307 Speaker 7: this wonderfully wonderful sporting market. It seems that we've got 1853 01:41:11,307 --> 01:41:13,787 Speaker 7: a confluence of all those things and they've come together 1854 01:41:13,867 --> 01:41:17,267 Speaker 7: perfectly so that we've got this Auckland FC team that 1855 01:41:17,307 --> 01:41:21,267 Speaker 7: has not only been great Elliott, but is historically great. 1856 01:41:21,347 --> 01:41:25,067 Speaker 7: They have surpassed so many records now and the one 1857 01:41:25,107 --> 01:41:28,627 Speaker 7: that is really remarkable is last night they brought they 1858 01:41:28,827 --> 01:41:32,507 Speaker 7: broke a forty seven year old record that has stood 1859 01:41:32,547 --> 01:41:37,347 Speaker 7: since nineteen seventy seven and that belonged to Western Suburbs 1860 01:41:37,507 --> 01:41:42,467 Speaker 7: in Sydney. So Auckland has now bone the longest without 1861 01:41:42,507 --> 01:41:45,787 Speaker 7: conceding a goal as they've joined the top tier in 1862 01:41:45,827 --> 01:41:46,907 Speaker 7: the Australian competition. 1863 01:41:47,267 --> 01:41:49,787 Speaker 3: It's remarkable, isn't it. I mean, how have they done 1864 01:41:49,827 --> 01:41:53,507 Speaker 3: it on the park? You mentioned that defensive stat there. 1865 01:41:53,547 --> 01:41:56,547 Speaker 3: They've obviously banged on goals at the other end as well. 1866 01:41:56,587 --> 01:41:59,907 Speaker 3: But it seems like the whole team is in sync 1867 01:41:59,947 --> 01:42:02,547 Speaker 3: at this point of the season, which is remarkable given 1868 01:42:02,707 --> 01:42:05,867 Speaker 3: how late some players come in to the A League. 1869 01:42:05,867 --> 01:42:07,507 Speaker 3: It just seems like everything has clicked. 1870 01:42:08,987 --> 01:42:10,547 Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think one of the things that is 1871 01:42:10,587 --> 01:42:14,227 Speaker 7: overlooked is that there's the key we contingent the fact 1872 01:42:14,227 --> 01:42:16,947 Speaker 7: that this team is built on a foundation of local players. 1873 01:42:16,987 --> 01:42:20,227 Speaker 7: So if we look at the squad, there's eighteen New 1874 01:42:20,307 --> 01:42:24,907 Speaker 7: Zealanders in this team. That is absolutely stark contrasts to 1875 01:42:25,067 --> 01:42:26,987 Speaker 7: what we had with the Knights. And also I think 1876 01:42:27,027 --> 01:42:29,627 Speaker 7: with the Kings as well. Elliott of the eighteen and 1877 01:42:29,667 --> 01:42:32,427 Speaker 7: the squad eleven have seen game time this season, and 1878 01:42:32,467 --> 01:42:34,907 Speaker 7: there were eight New Zealanders that were on the field yesterday. 1879 01:42:34,947 --> 01:42:37,547 Speaker 7: So these are all players that have grown up together. 1880 01:42:37,547 --> 01:42:39,747 Speaker 7: They're not familiar to the audience, but they are familiar 1881 01:42:39,787 --> 01:42:43,747 Speaker 7: with each other. You then compliment that with a coach 1882 01:42:43,827 --> 01:42:47,787 Speaker 7: that has won numerous titles, both championships and then also 1883 01:42:47,867 --> 01:42:51,667 Speaker 7: playoffs in the A League and Steve Coriker, Terry mcflynn 1884 01:42:51,987 --> 01:42:54,227 Speaker 7: the director of football. He's somebody that knows this league 1885 01:42:54,227 --> 01:42:57,707 Speaker 7: inside out, both as a player and then as an administrator. 1886 01:42:58,987 --> 01:43:02,827 Speaker 7: And you add on to that as the last factor. 1887 01:43:03,227 --> 01:43:07,267 Speaker 7: They're well resourced and highly motivated ownership group that is 1888 01:43:07,307 --> 01:43:10,907 Speaker 7: expanding at this point in time, obviously led by Bill Foley, 1889 01:43:10,947 --> 01:43:15,187 Speaker 7: but then and Immobra, Ali Williams, Tim Brown, Winston read. 1890 01:43:15,627 --> 01:43:18,507 Speaker 7: These are all people that are very passionate about football, 1891 01:43:18,907 --> 01:43:22,267 Speaker 7: and at the moment the alchemy is beautifully balanced. 1892 01:43:22,867 --> 01:43:24,427 Speaker 3: I don't have the numbers in front of me, but 1893 01:43:24,467 --> 01:43:27,547 Speaker 3: they seem to have scored a lot of their goals lakes. 1894 01:43:27,587 --> 01:43:30,387 Speaker 3: I mean, that's in itself quite remarkable, isn't it. 1895 01:43:30,667 --> 01:43:32,507 Speaker 7: Elliott, I have the numbers. 1896 01:43:34,267 --> 01:43:35,867 Speaker 3: That's why it's brilliance. 1897 01:43:37,867 --> 01:43:40,467 Speaker 7: Look, the one thing, the one criticism that can be 1898 01:43:42,547 --> 01:43:44,707 Speaker 7: made of the team is that they haven't gone ahead 1899 01:43:44,787 --> 01:43:48,267 Speaker 7: necessarily early Elliott, so they were crossly get last night. 1900 01:43:48,267 --> 01:43:53,067 Speaker 7: They were wonderful chances to haul Brimmer and my but 1901 01:43:53,307 --> 01:43:55,667 Speaker 7: they did persevere and they have done throughout the course 1902 01:43:55,707 --> 01:43:57,667 Speaker 7: of their five games so far. So six of the 1903 01:43:57,707 --> 01:44:00,667 Speaker 7: eight goals that they have scored have come after the 1904 01:44:00,667 --> 01:44:03,227 Speaker 7: seventy five minute marks on the last stanze of the game. 1905 01:44:03,707 --> 01:44:05,587 Speaker 7: But the remarkable thing, and this is where I think 1906 01:44:05,587 --> 01:44:09,587 Speaker 7: you're getting to, is that they've scored three times beyond 1907 01:44:09,587 --> 01:44:12,827 Speaker 7: the ninety. And as Steve Parker said last night, although 1908 01:44:12,827 --> 01:44:14,867 Speaker 7: he wants improvement and he doesn't want the kind of 1909 01:44:15,747 --> 01:44:20,787 Speaker 7: heart attack kids giving them that each week, the character 1910 01:44:20,827 --> 01:44:24,747 Speaker 7: that this team has demonstrated and the togetherness that they 1911 01:44:24,787 --> 01:44:27,867 Speaker 7: have been able to put and so into each ninety 1912 01:44:28,347 --> 01:44:31,427 Speaker 7: is the thing that is probably the most promising as 1913 01:44:31,507 --> 01:44:33,547 Speaker 7: we see them really start to get into the grind 1914 01:44:33,587 --> 01:44:34,547 Speaker 7: of the A League season. 1915 01:44:34,867 --> 01:44:36,827 Speaker 3: It's interesting what you mentioned about that the foundations for 1916 01:44:36,867 --> 01:44:38,947 Speaker 3: this club off the field as well and the ownership, 1917 01:44:38,947 --> 01:44:41,707 Speaker 3: Because I've just come back from five weeks abroad following 1918 01:44:41,787 --> 01:44:44,307 Speaker 3: Rugby and come back to an Auckland city where there 1919 01:44:44,307 --> 01:44:47,947 Speaker 3: are people on Queen Street wearing Auckland IFC jumpers. Yesterday 1920 01:44:47,987 --> 01:44:50,147 Speaker 3: I saw them going to the game. But on Thursday, 1921 01:44:50,147 --> 01:44:52,707 Speaker 3: Friday and the lead up as well, Auckland if season 1922 01:44:52,707 --> 01:44:54,827 Speaker 3: now got a coffee shop, they've got a couple of bars. 1923 01:44:54,827 --> 01:44:57,667 Speaker 3: It seems like in the space of about five weeks 1924 01:44:58,107 --> 01:45:00,507 Speaker 3: the city's got a little bit football mad. 1925 01:45:02,667 --> 01:45:05,187 Speaker 7: And the thing that I think people need to be 1926 01:45:05,267 --> 01:45:07,387 Speaker 7: mindful of is that we've got that direct pathway into 1927 01:45:07,387 --> 01:45:10,067 Speaker 7: the twenty twenty six World Cup, so I think we 1928 01:45:10,147 --> 01:45:14,147 Speaker 7: have the ability to turn it up to eleven as well, Elliott. 1929 01:45:15,507 --> 01:45:18,267 Speaker 7: But the important part of this is that Auckland has 1930 01:45:18,307 --> 01:45:22,267 Speaker 7: always been a footballing city. We've got wonderful clubs on 1931 01:45:22,347 --> 01:45:25,667 Speaker 7: the north, the west, the South and the east of Auckland. 1932 01:45:26,547 --> 01:45:28,827 Speaker 7: What we needed is a unify and I think in 1933 01:45:28,867 --> 01:45:31,387 Speaker 7: the blue and the Black and the A League representation 1934 01:45:31,947 --> 01:45:35,587 Speaker 7: and being part of the conversation alongside the likes of 1935 01:45:35,627 --> 01:45:39,867 Speaker 7: Melbourne and Sydney, we've got a shirt that people can 1936 01:45:39,907 --> 01:45:40,507 Speaker 7: get behind. 1937 01:45:40,507 --> 01:45:40,787 Speaker 11: Now. 1938 01:45:41,507 --> 01:45:45,267 Speaker 7: I think people were absolutely frothing for this. They wanted it. 1939 01:45:45,267 --> 01:45:46,987 Speaker 7: It was just a case of giving it to them 1940 01:45:46,987 --> 01:45:48,707 Speaker 7: and making sure that it was executed in a way 1941 01:45:48,707 --> 01:45:51,747 Speaker 7: that reflected Auckland, because at the end of the day, 1942 01:45:51,827 --> 01:45:54,227 Speaker 7: that's what a football club is, Elliott. It is a 1943 01:45:54,427 --> 01:45:57,587 Speaker 7: representation of the community. It is part of the tapestry. 1944 01:45:57,907 --> 01:46:00,827 Speaker 7: And when you think about the big pubs in the UK, 1945 01:46:00,907 --> 01:46:03,907 Speaker 7: because that's always our reference point for a lot of Parkier, 1946 01:46:04,427 --> 01:46:07,907 Speaker 7: the likes of Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, Tottenham, they've got 1947 01:46:07,947 --> 01:46:11,467 Speaker 7: histories that extend beyond one hundred years. What Auckland needed 1948 01:46:11,507 --> 01:46:14,907 Speaker 7: to do is hit the accelerator and get that awareness, 1949 01:46:15,267 --> 01:46:17,827 Speaker 7: get that feeling that they're part of the furniture of 1950 01:46:17,867 --> 01:46:20,147 Speaker 7: the city and they needed to do that quickly and 1951 01:46:20,187 --> 01:46:22,427 Speaker 7: I think in a lot of respects they have done that, mate. 1952 01:46:22,467 --> 01:46:25,107 Speaker 7: And then your company that of course with the slide 1953 01:46:25,467 --> 01:46:29,387 Speaker 7: at the ground, Elliott and I'm not sure if you're aware, 1954 01:46:29,467 --> 01:46:32,707 Speaker 7: but I Jason pine owes me a trip down that 1955 01:46:32,747 --> 01:46:34,387 Speaker 7: slide at some point, Well. 1956 01:46:34,267 --> 01:46:35,987 Speaker 3: Can we make it next weekend of the derby. That 1957 01:46:35,987 --> 01:46:37,547 Speaker 3: would really cap things off, wouldn't it. 1958 01:46:38,467 --> 01:46:41,667 Speaker 7: If you want to put it out there that if 1959 01:46:41,707 --> 01:46:44,987 Speaker 7: Wellington wins, I'll go down the slide and if Auckland wins, 1960 01:46:44,987 --> 01:46:48,067 Speaker 7: Pineing's going to be at the top of the south 1961 01:46:48,187 --> 01:46:51,587 Speaker 7: the north end of Mount Smart Stadium. I'm all for that, Elliott. Well, 1962 01:46:51,787 --> 01:46:54,747 Speaker 7: I am feeling people were promised that I. 1963 01:46:54,707 --> 01:46:56,987 Speaker 3: Am feeling it on the show, so I guess I'm 1964 01:46:57,027 --> 01:46:59,787 Speaker 3: sort of a surrogate in some ways, so I'll accept 1965 01:46:59,787 --> 01:47:00,627 Speaker 3: that on his behalf. 1966 01:47:01,547 --> 01:47:05,227 Speaker 7: Oh fantastic, mate. But look, that's the weekend that we've 1967 01:47:05,227 --> 01:47:08,987 Speaker 7: got coming up, Elliott. We've had the first iteration, We've 1968 01:47:09,027 --> 01:47:12,867 Speaker 7: now got the second coming of the derby. They haven't 1969 01:47:12,867 --> 01:47:15,027 Speaker 7: confirmed it yet, but the whispers are that they have 1970 01:47:15,147 --> 01:47:17,827 Speaker 7: sold out of tickets, and they did so two weeks ago. 1971 01:47:17,867 --> 01:47:20,787 Speaker 7: So Auckland Sea not only performing on the field, but 1972 01:47:20,907 --> 01:47:24,187 Speaker 7: definitely putting investment off the field. And the thing that 1973 01:47:24,227 --> 01:47:27,147 Speaker 7: we've already got to manage is the influence of the 1974 01:47:27,187 --> 01:47:29,667 Speaker 7: man that you are filling in for the Valentonians, the 1975 01:47:29,667 --> 01:47:32,667 Speaker 7: ones that are heading north to be part of Go Media. 1976 01:47:32,707 --> 01:47:36,707 Speaker 7: Mount Smart Yellow Fever, around about one thousand will show 1977 01:47:36,787 --> 01:47:40,187 Speaker 7: up to Mount Spark Stadium next weekend and we'll get 1978 01:47:40,187 --> 01:47:43,067 Speaker 7: to see not only the fireworks on the field, but 1979 01:47:43,267 --> 01:47:46,707 Speaker 7: also the port and Yellow Fever going back and forth 1980 01:47:46,747 --> 01:47:50,307 Speaker 7: at each other, because that is the thing that separates 1981 01:47:50,347 --> 01:47:53,827 Speaker 7: football from everything else in this country is that wonderful vibrancy, 1982 01:47:53,907 --> 01:47:58,827 Speaker 7: the color, the noise, the chance, the enthusiasm, the expression 1983 01:47:59,027 --> 01:48:01,587 Speaker 7: of your city. And that is the one thing that 1984 01:48:01,627 --> 01:48:04,067 Speaker 7: I'm absolutely pumped for next weekend. 1985 01:48:04,147 --> 01:48:05,787 Speaker 3: Well I was thinking about that yesterday because we've had 1986 01:48:05,787 --> 01:48:08,587 Speaker 3: big football matches that the World Cup qualifiers and everything 1987 01:48:08,627 --> 01:48:11,347 Speaker 3: like that, but to have a domestic derby where these 1988 01:48:11,347 --> 01:48:13,307 Speaker 3: two teams are going at it is something that we 1989 01:48:13,387 --> 01:48:16,747 Speaker 3: haven't had on this scale before in New Zealand. Obviously 1990 01:48:16,787 --> 01:48:18,587 Speaker 3: there's been one already this season, but in terms of 1991 01:48:18,627 --> 01:48:23,547 Speaker 3: having this rivalry, it hasn't been replicated previously. No, it hasn't. 1992 01:48:23,587 --> 01:48:27,507 Speaker 7: It is very novel and it's almost like a new toy, 1993 01:48:27,987 --> 01:48:29,427 Speaker 7: you know, you get it at Christmas, you're not quite 1994 01:48:29,427 --> 01:48:31,987 Speaker 7: sure what you can do with it, but then you 1995 01:48:32,027 --> 01:48:33,867 Speaker 7: spend the days honing it. Maybe it's like a cricket 1996 01:48:33,907 --> 01:48:35,667 Speaker 7: bat elliot and you have to knock it in a 1997 01:48:35,667 --> 01:48:37,667 Speaker 7: little bit. And that's what we're doing at the moment. 1998 01:48:37,707 --> 01:48:39,707 Speaker 7: We're trying to figure out what this thing is. But 1999 01:48:39,787 --> 01:48:43,027 Speaker 7: we know that it represents us as a football community. 2000 01:48:43,107 --> 01:48:45,667 Speaker 7: We know that it's exciting, we know that we want 2001 01:48:45,667 --> 01:48:47,067 Speaker 7: it to stay, and we know that it's going to 2002 01:48:47,067 --> 01:48:51,827 Speaker 7: be valuable on the long term. So we are hearing 2003 01:48:51,867 --> 01:48:54,827 Speaker 7: that the fans themselves are trying to figure out how 2004 01:48:54,907 --> 01:48:57,747 Speaker 7: they're going to create the noise and make sure that 2005 01:48:57,787 --> 01:48:59,947 Speaker 7: they've heard. Obviously, the Port's going to be there in number, 2006 01:48:59,947 --> 01:49:02,107 Speaker 7: but Yellow Fever will want to be heard as well. 2007 01:49:02,147 --> 01:49:04,147 Speaker 7: So they've got t fots, which are the banners that 2008 01:49:04,147 --> 01:49:05,867 Speaker 7: they're roll up for all the game. There might be 2009 01:49:06,427 --> 01:49:09,347 Speaker 7: some smoke flares at some point as well, which obviously 2010 01:49:10,187 --> 01:49:13,027 Speaker 7: aren't flears themselves, but that adds to the color as well. 2011 01:49:13,067 --> 01:49:15,947 Speaker 7: It adds to that kind of that South American Europeans 2012 01:49:16,347 --> 01:49:19,107 Speaker 7: vibe that so many fans want to take but also 2013 01:49:19,147 --> 01:49:19,707 Speaker 7: make their own. 2014 01:49:20,067 --> 01:49:23,547 Speaker 3: Have we got a name for this Derby yet? Jacob, Oh, You're. 2015 01:49:23,627 --> 01:49:25,587 Speaker 7: You're winding me up on your Elliott, because you know, 2016 01:49:26,547 --> 01:49:29,867 Speaker 7: you know, you know most feelings, so everybody. Last night 2017 01:49:30,067 --> 01:49:33,507 Speaker 7: the producers at Sky decided to go with the kiary Classico, 2018 01:49:33,507 --> 01:49:35,867 Speaker 7: which has been imposed on us by the Australians because 2019 01:49:36,427 --> 01:49:39,507 Speaker 7: they didn't quite understand the vibe. So I had in 2020 01:49:39,587 --> 01:49:42,947 Speaker 7: my ear laughing Kingsley Hockley as he put that up 2021 01:49:43,067 --> 01:49:44,507 Speaker 7: on screen because he knew he was going to get 2022 01:49:44,507 --> 01:49:48,667 Speaker 7: a reaction, but I am rejecting the KILLI Classico as 2023 01:49:48,707 --> 01:49:51,627 Speaker 7: I know Jason Pine does. At the moment, I think 2024 01:49:51,627 --> 01:49:54,187 Speaker 7: we've got a placeholder in the India Derby. There has 2025 01:49:54,227 --> 01:49:57,027 Speaker 7: been some other suggestions like the Tika Derby so teka 2026 01:49:57,067 --> 01:50:01,187 Speaker 7: Amali after the North Island. I love that type of vibe. 2027 01:50:01,827 --> 01:50:03,747 Speaker 7: But I think what will happen, Elliott, is it's going 2028 01:50:03,747 --> 01:50:06,307 Speaker 7: to be a spark point at some stags. There's going 2029 01:50:06,347 --> 01:50:07,867 Speaker 7: going to be something that happens, is going to be 2030 01:50:07,867 --> 01:50:11,027 Speaker 7: a reaction, and I think that's when the name will 2031 01:50:11,067 --> 01:50:12,867 Speaker 7: be established organically. 2032 01:50:13,067 --> 01:50:15,707 Speaker 3: We look forward to finding out what that Derby will 2033 01:50:15,747 --> 01:50:18,587 Speaker 3: eventually be called.

So Jacob beth Lon Devo getting 2078 01:52:30,347 --> 01:52:33,267 Speaker 14: to forty of thirty two deliveries so far, Joe Root 2079 01:52:33,707 --> 01:52:37,587 Speaker 14: sixteen or eleven earlier, been duck at racing to twenty 2080 01:52:37,627 --> 01:52:41,627 Speaker 14: seven and effectively treating the bowling with disdain, and they 2081 01:52:41,747 --> 01:52:43,827 Speaker 14: all reaching all parts and looking to wrap this up 2082 01:52:43,827 --> 01:52:46,627 Speaker 14: pretty quickly in this middle session on the fourth day 2083 01:52:46,707 --> 01:52:49,627 Speaker 14: in New Zealand. I mean, I guess the context of 2084 01:52:49,667 --> 01:52:53,707 Speaker 14: this is that their World Test Championship hosts probably requiring 2085 01:52:53,707 --> 01:52:56,267 Speaker 14: the mathematicians skills of someone like Isaac Newton to be 2086 01:52:56,307 --> 01:52:58,867 Speaker 14: able to get them through that final. Now, if you 2087 01:52:58,907 --> 01:53:04,547 Speaker 14: do the predictor system, and I mean other context to it, 2088 01:53:04,707 --> 01:53:06,307 Speaker 14: just that, yeah, it's going to put them in a 2089 01:53:06,347 --> 01:53:08,307 Speaker 14: in a difficult position to win the series from here 2090 01:53:08,347 --> 01:53:12,667 Speaker 14: heading to Wellington and Hamilton. But yeah, England out playing 2091 01:53:12,707 --> 01:53:14,347 Speaker 14: New Zealand at least at this stage with just the 2092 01:53:14,747 --> 01:53:15,467 Speaker 14: seventeen runs. 2093 01:53:15,467 --> 01:53:18,227 Speaker 3: A quired, where was it lost? Let's assume that the 2094 01:53:18,787 --> 01:53:20,347 Speaker 3: black Caps an't going to take eight we gets for 2095 01:53:20,347 --> 01:53:21,827 Speaker 3: seven ten whe where was it? Where was this test 2096 01:53:21,827 --> 01:53:22,627 Speaker 3: match lost? Orders? 2097 01:53:23,347 --> 01:53:26,507 Speaker 14: Look, I think, just plain and simple, it is those 2098 01:53:27,427 --> 01:53:32,227 Speaker 14: those eight catches dropped in that second earnings for club 2099 01:53:32,267 --> 01:53:35,387 Speaker 14: from New Zealand's aspective. Sorry the England person, I think 2100 01:53:35,867 --> 01:53:38,427 Speaker 14: getting to four ninety nine, that was doing the numbers 2101 01:53:38,427 --> 01:53:40,787 Speaker 14: on that two hundred and fifty one runs. If you 2102 01:53:40,987 --> 01:53:43,667 Speaker 14: if you maximize about the fact that Brook was dropped 2103 01:53:43,707 --> 01:53:47,787 Speaker 14: five times, just that wasn't really acceptable at test level 2104 01:53:47,867 --> 01:53:50,427 Speaker 14: if you're hoping to go on and be victorious. So 2105 01:53:50,747 --> 01:53:52,907 Speaker 14: I really think that that's probably the bible and the 2106 01:53:52,987 --> 01:53:56,387 Speaker 14: end of all of it. The bowl is creating the opportunities. 2107 01:53:56,627 --> 01:53:58,627 Speaker 14: The field is not delivering and it's pretty rare to 2108 01:53:58,707 --> 01:54:00,147 Speaker 14: I mean some of the likes of Tom Lake and 2109 01:54:00,267 --> 01:54:03,667 Speaker 14: dropping three Glen Phillips. Likewise, all bit Phillips did pick 2110 01:54:03,747 --> 01:54:09,067 Speaker 14: up that terrific tiving one hand right hand take at 2111 01:54:09,227 --> 01:54:11,707 Speaker 14: gully to remove play for seventy seven. 2112 01:54:11,827 --> 01:54:12,707 Speaker 6: That was terrific. 2113 01:54:12,747 --> 01:54:15,187 Speaker 14: But apart from that are pretty wide from the late. 2114 01:54:15,387 --> 01:54:17,907 Speaker 3: Indeed, and look at after that series in India to 2115 01:54:18,187 --> 01:54:21,227 Speaker 3: win over there three nil, is it a regression from 2116 01:54:21,227 --> 01:54:23,587 Speaker 3: the black Caps or was that India one just one 2117 01:54:23,627 --> 01:54:24,307 Speaker 3: out of the box. 2118 01:54:25,227 --> 01:54:26,907 Speaker 14: Yeah, that's a really good point actually when you think 2119 01:54:26,907 --> 01:54:30,587 Speaker 14: about and you can't the grudge the team too much or. 2120 01:54:31,867 --> 01:54:32,467 Speaker 12: Taking the past. 2121 01:54:32,507 --> 01:54:37,507 Speaker 14: I mean, that's an incredible historical leasy like series victory 2122 01:54:37,587 --> 01:54:39,747 Speaker 14: the who one of the early grayil efforts to win 2123 01:54:39,787 --> 01:54:42,587 Speaker 14: in India and to do it so convincingly with three 2124 01:54:42,707 --> 01:54:45,667 Speaker 14: tests as well. But just stagging that they have an 2125 01:54:45,827 --> 01:54:49,267 Speaker 14: a tenute round at home. Maybe they need Will Young 2126 01:54:49,267 --> 01:54:51,227 Speaker 14: in the light up to play with the series over there, 2127 01:54:51,547 --> 01:54:57,267 Speaker 14: but that hasn't really carried over so looking and what 2128 01:54:57,267 --> 01:54:58,947 Speaker 14: they're going to do from there, I'm not quite sure, 2129 01:54:58,987 --> 01:55:00,587 Speaker 14: but it's going to be a difficult road. 2130 01:55:01,027 --> 01:55:03,907 Speaker 3: Do you anticipate any changes for the second test? 2131 01:55:03,947 --> 01:55:06,187 Speaker 14: At the basin orders, Well, they're going to bring Mi 2132 01:55:06,507 --> 01:55:10,747 Speaker 14: Center into the squad. Whether they consider bringing him into 2133 01:55:10,787 --> 01:55:14,467 Speaker 14: the eleven depending on whether it will spur on week on. 2134 01:55:14,747 --> 01:55:15,267 Speaker 6: I guess the. 2135 01:55:17,467 --> 01:55:20,267 Speaker 14: I would say variable boundaries towards the end rather than 2136 01:55:20,547 --> 01:55:22,907 Speaker 14: turning so much of the base, and I think might turn. 2137 01:55:22,787 --> 01:55:23,707 Speaker 12: More in Hamilton. 2138 01:55:24,627 --> 01:55:27,347 Speaker 7: But I had to say, really. 2139 01:55:27,147 --> 01:55:29,267 Speaker 14: With that, when when they bring young in at the 2140 01:55:29,267 --> 01:55:31,587 Speaker 14: top of the order for a Conway or whether they 2141 01:55:32,507 --> 01:55:35,987 Speaker 14: inject someone else into the line up there strengthen the datting. 2142 01:55:36,067 --> 01:55:38,747 Speaker 14: Maybe Tom Brundle look will struggling with the bat but 2143 01:55:38,827 --> 01:55:41,667 Speaker 14: still pretty reasonable with the gloves. But I think that 2144 01:55:41,747 --> 01:55:44,347 Speaker 14: they will largely look in the past and they're not 2145 01:55:44,587 --> 01:55:47,347 Speaker 14: relatively conservative with selects. As though you're reluctant to change it, 2146 01:55:47,387 --> 01:55:50,387 Speaker 14: would have thought and give us life a second chance. 2147 01:55:50,547 --> 01:55:51,907 Speaker 5: In Wellington, you'd. 2148 01:55:51,707 --> 01:55:54,787 Speaker 3: Suspect so as well. They've gone to have a drink 2149 01:55:55,227 --> 01:55:59,187 Speaker 3: at ninety five for two England leading nine more runs 2150 01:55:59,227 --> 01:56:01,147 Speaker 3: or let you get back to it orders and you 2151 01:56:01,147 --> 01:56:02,107 Speaker 3: can have a drink yourself. 2152 01:56:02,147 --> 01:56:03,067 Speaker 12: Go you there. 2153 01:56:04,547 --> 01:56:07,187 Speaker 14: Nine runs required. I work it from hand in Jacob 2154 01:56:07,187 --> 01:56:10,147 Speaker 14: bethe On now forty one of thirty three with Joe 2155 01:56:10,227 --> 01:56:13,587 Speaker 14: Root twenty three or Off fifteen. So pretty convincing display 2156 01:56:13,627 --> 01:56:15,987 Speaker 14: there from the single spanning line up post lunch. 2157 01:56:16,187 --> 01:56:18,187 Speaker 3: Indeed, it is thank you, orders you back to the 2158 01:56:18,227 --> 01:56:20,627 Speaker 3: afternoon that is in christ Church as this Test match 2159 01:56:20,627 --> 01:56:22,867 Speaker 3: heads for a conclusion. Thank you very much for your time. 2160 01:56:22,907 --> 01:56:25,667 Speaker 3: Andrew Ordison joining us from Hagley Oval in christ. J 2161 01:56:25,787 --> 01:56:29,227 Speaker 3: Jack cricket correspondent, Yes, nine runs away and they've taken 2162 01:56:29,267 --> 01:56:32,587 Speaker 3: a drink's break in christ Couple of text messages on 2163 01:56:32,667 --> 01:56:36,427 Speaker 3: the cricket front the India series when three nil by 2164 01:56:36,427 --> 01:56:39,027 Speaker 3: the black Caps is partly due to how arrogant India was. 2165 01:56:39,307 --> 01:56:41,187 Speaker 3: They expected a bit as comfortably so when they were 2166 01:56:41,187 --> 01:56:43,867 Speaker 3: down they tried to hit themselves out of trouble arrogantly. 2167 01:56:44,427 --> 01:56:49,507 Speaker 3: I think robo one more on the cricket that is 2168 01:56:49,547 --> 01:56:52,147 Speaker 3: in front of me as well. Unfortunately, Sad will be 2169 01:56:52,227 --> 01:56:55,147 Speaker 3: remembered more for his lack of application as batsman, which 2170 01:56:55,187 --> 01:56:56,947 Speaker 3: is possibly a bit unfair. But he may as well 2171 01:56:56,987 --> 01:57:00,147 Speaker 3: have batted at eleven. They're not so much judgment made 2172 01:57:00,187 --> 01:57:02,467 Speaker 3: of him. Hopefully he doesn't open the bowling as surely 2173 01:57:02,467 --> 01:57:04,467 Speaker 3: I Rourke with the new ball will be more dangerous. Well, 2174 01:57:05,067 --> 01:57:07,147 Speaker 3: he did open the bowling in the how long did 2175 01:57:07,147 --> 01:57:09,547 Speaker 3: he last in the attack? Not so long. Three overs 2176 01:57:10,147 --> 01:57:13,707 Speaker 3: none for twenty seven was what he contributed before the 2177 01:57:13,867 --> 01:57:17,347 Speaker 3: change was made. Nathan Smith also not having a great 2178 01:57:17,347 --> 01:57:20,787 Speaker 3: time for three overs none for twenty nine. The wickets 2179 01:57:20,787 --> 01:57:22,627 Speaker 3: going the way of Matt Henry won for twelve off 2180 01:57:22,667 --> 01:57:26,627 Speaker 3: three and Will O'Rourke one for twenty seven off three 2181 01:57:26,707 --> 01:57:30,787 Speaker 3: overs as well. One more text This is from Jennison. 2182 01:57:30,867 --> 01:57:32,707 Speaker 3: You very much, jenes Hi Elliott, thank you for your 2183 01:57:32,747 --> 01:57:35,067 Speaker 3: we're contacting the AB's this year. I'm looking forward to 2184 01:57:35,067 --> 01:57:36,907 Speaker 3: seeing what progress the abbe's make next year. I do 2185 01:57:36,987 --> 01:57:39,707 Speaker 3: have my concerns about Robinson and his fellow coaches. Thanks again, 2186 01:57:39,747 --> 01:57:42,467 Speaker 3: it's very kind, giness appreciate it is lock. Twenty twenty 2187 01:57:42,507 --> 01:57:44,747 Speaker 3: five is going to be a very interesting year, isn't 2188 01:57:44,787 --> 01:57:48,667 Speaker 3: it for the All Blacks. Three Tests against France, Rugby 2189 01:57:48,747 --> 01:57:53,387 Speaker 3: Championship in there as well, and then a Grand Slam 2190 01:57:53,467 --> 01:57:56,187 Speaker 3: to it to finish. Hasn't been officially confirmed, but that's 2191 01:57:56,187 --> 01:57:59,187 Speaker 3: certainly our understanding of how it is going to play 2192 01:57:59,227 --> 01:58:03,387 Speaker 3: out next year. Doesn't leave a lot of room for 2193 01:58:03,547 --> 01:58:06,347 Speaker 3: building depth. Those are some tough tasks. I know Francis 2194 01:58:06,467 --> 01:58:11,627 Speaker 3: ending likely over a B or C team, but they've 2195 01:58:11,627 --> 01:58:13,467 Speaker 3: got a lot of depth a moment the French side, 2196 01:58:13,507 --> 01:58:15,147 Speaker 3: that's not going to necessarily be easy, and the All 2197 01:58:15,187 --> 01:58:17,867 Speaker 3: Blacks can't afford to roll out and build depth in 2198 01:58:17,947 --> 01:58:19,827 Speaker 3: those Test matches. They need to hit the ground running 2199 01:58:20,427 --> 01:58:23,507 Speaker 3: next year. So it's going to be a fascinating year 2200 01:58:23,547 --> 01:58:27,907 Speaker 3: of rugby. He'd appreciate the text, Janus England one hundred 2201 01:58:27,907 --> 01:58:30,547 Speaker 3: and one for two. They need three more runs to 2202 01:58:30,627 --> 01:58:35,467 Speaker 3: win this Test match. Nathan Smith doing the honors at 2203 01:58:35,467 --> 01:58:38,507 Speaker 3: the moment for the black Caps, It's going to be 2204 01:58:38,627 --> 01:58:40,747 Speaker 3: very interesting, isn't it to see what changes they make 2205 01:58:41,907 --> 01:58:44,707 Speaker 3: for the second Test. As Andrew Ortison pointed out, their 2206 01:58:45,387 --> 01:58:54,267 Speaker 3: very very conservative selection lineup don't often swing the acts 2207 01:58:54,387 --> 01:58:57,667 Speaker 3: without number of chances. But it is just the time 2208 01:58:57,747 --> 01:59:03,107 Speaker 3: for them to be a little bit bold, make some 2209 01:59:03,227 --> 01:59:06,187 Speaker 3: changes outside the norm. Send some players back to plunket skilled, 2210 01:59:07,147 --> 01:59:11,987 Speaker 3: look to the future a little bit. Quite possibly for mine, 2211 01:59:16,027 --> 01:59:20,667 Speaker 3: I think this is a good opportunity. Let's come under pressure, 2212 01:59:22,427 --> 01:59:24,427 Speaker 3: but a chance to look abroad, look for the future, 2213 01:59:24,787 --> 01:59:30,547 Speaker 3: look to some different players, allow some players to get 2214 01:59:30,547 --> 01:59:34,907 Speaker 3: some runs back at first class level, It's going to 2215 01:59:34,947 --> 01:59:36,787 Speaker 3: be very interesting to see which way the black Caps 2216 01:59:36,787 --> 01:59:40,227 Speaker 3: selectors go. I suspect they'll go conservative. As Andrew Orderson 2217 01:59:40,267 --> 01:59:42,307 Speaker 3: mentioned there, Mitchell Santa will come in. That was pre 2218 01:59:42,427 --> 01:59:48,707 Speaker 3: planned for the series. Hard to see too many other changes, 2219 01:59:48,907 --> 01:59:52,307 Speaker 3: just in the manner of the way that this team 2220 01:59:52,427 --> 01:59:57,507 Speaker 3: has been selected over a number of years. It is 2221 01:59:57,547 --> 01:59:59,987 Speaker 3: eleven away from three. Will take a break come back. 2222 02:00:00,067 --> 02:00:01,987 Speaker 3: I suspect the Test match won't be over after the. 2223 02:00:01,907 --> 02:00:07,547 Speaker 1: Ads the schoon from the track field on your whole 2224 02:00:08,387 --> 02:00:09,307 Speaker 1: weekends for it. 2225 02:00:11,907 --> 02:00:16,267 Speaker 3: She's all over in christ Church, bowls to Bethel and 2226 02:00:16,507 --> 02:00:18,747 Speaker 3: smashes him out to the man. 2227 02:00:18,747 --> 02:00:26,267 Speaker 22: It's deep squealing. England win the Test match. Bethel finishes 2228 02:00:26,307 --> 02:00:31,227 Speaker 22: with a debut fifty nine out and a comprehensive victory 2229 02:00:31,267 --> 02:00:34,827 Speaker 22: for England by eight wickets. They didn't muck around hundred 2230 02:00:34,827 --> 02:00:38,427 Speaker 22: and four to win. Quite extraordinary stuff and well played England. 2231 02:00:38,867 --> 02:00:42,427 Speaker 3: Yes, indeed Test match over. England win by eight wickets. 2232 02:00:42,467 --> 02:00:45,587 Speaker 3: They only needed twelve point four overs to get their 2233 02:00:45,587 --> 02:00:48,507 Speaker 3: Bethel makes fifty route makes twenty three wickets the way 2234 02:00:48,507 --> 02:00:51,387 Speaker 3: of Henry and O'Rourke. But it was always going to 2235 02:00:51,387 --> 02:00:54,827 Speaker 3: be futile chasing one hundred and for the victory of 2236 02:00:54,827 --> 02:00:58,267 Speaker 3: the black Cats crash and now one kneel down in 2237 02:00:58,347 --> 02:01:03,027 Speaker 3: the series against against England. The second Test starts in 2238 02:01:03,067 --> 02:01:07,427 Speaker 3: Wellington on Friday morning at eleven, black Caps obviously needing 2239 02:01:07,427 --> 02:01:09,547 Speaker 3: a win to stay in the series. Going to be 2240 02:01:09,667 --> 02:01:11,227 Speaker 3: very interesting to see the noise that comes out of 2241 02:01:11,227 --> 02:01:14,107 Speaker 3: the black Caps camp as to whether they make any 2242 02:01:14,227 --> 02:01:17,467 Speaker 3: changes for the second match. Unlikely they would do so 2243 02:01:18,107 --> 02:01:22,867 Speaker 3: mid series. You just wonder how much more rope some 2244 02:01:22,947 --> 02:01:26,827 Speaker 3: of those players in the black Caps side, the likes 2245 02:01:26,867 --> 02:01:33,467 Speaker 3: of Tom Blundell Devin Conway in particular, have got. With 2246 02:01:33,507 --> 02:01:35,667 Speaker 3: their lack of run scoring in recent times, you just 2247 02:01:35,667 --> 02:01:38,427 Speaker 3: think that maybe they might need to make some changes 2248 02:01:38,467 --> 02:01:41,547 Speaker 3: sooner rather than later. Not a lot of Test matches 2249 02:01:41,587 --> 02:01:44,347 Speaker 3: coming up, do you stick with the current players or 2250 02:01:44,347 --> 02:01:47,307 Speaker 3: do you begin to look at the newer players that 2251 02:01:47,347 --> 02:01:51,587 Speaker 3: are coming through. As we heard from Scott Winnink at 2252 02:01:51,587 --> 02:01:53,947 Speaker 3: the top of the show, only four Test matches scheduled 2253 02:01:54,227 --> 02:01:59,427 Speaker 3: for twenty twenty five, two against Zimbabwe, midyear two against 2254 02:01:59,427 --> 02:02:00,947 Speaker 3: the West and is at the end of the as 2255 02:02:00,987 --> 02:02:03,747 Speaker 3: it stands, although he suggested that they are looking to 2256 02:02:03,787 --> 02:02:07,747 Speaker 3: add further matches as well. Under the negotiations. I suspect 2257 02:02:07,747 --> 02:02:09,267 Speaker 3: one of those will be a third Test against the 2258 02:02:09,267 --> 02:02:12,747 Speaker 3: West Indies at home next year. Maybe others to pop 2259 02:02:12,827 --> 02:02:14,427 Speaker 3: up along the way, but not a lot of test 2260 02:02:14,467 --> 02:02:18,387 Speaker 3: matches coming up. So is this the opportunity in Wellington 2261 02:02:18,467 --> 02:02:22,387 Speaker 3: and Hamilton to learn a bit more and make some 2262 02:02:22,547 --> 02:02:27,347 Speaker 3: changes for the future. We'll wait and see with interest 2263 02:02:27,387 --> 02:02:31,107 Speaker 3: what the black Caps selectors do. As I said, I 2264 02:02:31,147 --> 02:02:35,307 Speaker 3: suspect they will keep the faith with the players that 2265 02:02:35,347 --> 02:02:40,747 Speaker 3: they have in their squads at the moments. That'll about 2266 02:02:40,787 --> 02:02:42,947 Speaker 3: do us. I reckon for a week in Sport for 2267 02:02:44,147 --> 02:02:48,107 Speaker 3: thirtieth November one of December. My thanks to Andy McDonald 2268 02:02:48,307 --> 02:02:51,387 Speaker 3: steering the ship over the last couple of days. Jason 2269 02:02:51,387 --> 02:02:58,027 Speaker 3: Pine's back with you tomorrow evening after we break. I'm 2270 02:02:58,027 --> 02:03:01,147 Speaker 3: sure we'll be looking forward to dissecting further this black 2271 02:03:01,147 --> 02:03:04,507 Speaker 3: Caps result with you as well. And I've sold them 2272 02:03:04,547 --> 02:03:05,827 Speaker 3: up the river as well, because he might have to 2273 02:03:05,867 --> 02:03:10,147 Speaker 3: do this fly next week down at Mount Smart five 2274 02:03:10,187 --> 02:03:11,907 Speaker 3: away from three. I'm going to close the show. It's 2275 02:03:11,907 --> 02:03:15,587 Speaker 3: my turn to choose the musical interlude. Andy, it's on 2276 02:03:15,627 --> 02:03:20,027 Speaker 3: the plane back from Europe. Watch the documentary. It's while 2277 02:03:20,027 --> 02:03:21,787 Speaker 3: worth a watch. I think it's on Amazon Prime. Here 2278 02:03:22,907 --> 02:03:28,267 Speaker 3: about Celendion, stiff body syndrome that she suffered edits like 2279 02:03:28,347 --> 02:03:31,667 Speaker 3: you look at those clips in that movie, remarkable what 2280 02:03:31,707 --> 02:03:34,147 Speaker 3: she's been through. But then years remember what pipe she 2281 02:03:34,227 --> 02:03:38,027 Speaker 3: has got Celendion. And so we're closing today with Celene 2282 02:03:38,027 --> 02:03:40,987 Speaker 3: Dion on News Talk ZB. We will see you next time. 2283 02:03:49,307 --> 02:04:07,507 Speaker 18: It was coming coming, It's all love to recess and 2284 02:04:07,827 --> 02:04:14,387 Speaker 18: it's all comming tune.
