Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the All Sport Breakfast podcast with Darcy
Waldgrave from News Talk SEDB from Tomakimikodo.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
We now traveled down to or to tell christ Church
where the sale GP was. But isn't it anymore? But
they've got something else. They've got the Black Clash Matt
Heath that joins us. Now, who's got some commentary duties.
I'm amazing you guys have managed to keep that job
the way you behave. But that's okay, you know any
port in the storm, like, hey, mad how are.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
You pretty good? Actually? And you know a big I
guess you say pre game session last night? Just get
us right in the mood of stay right at Chris Gale,
I'm up on the you know, the universe boss was
up on the mic and entertaining us.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
All that was fantastic, very entertaining character. Lucky enough to
actually interview him last year and it was announced that
he was coming over. I expect the punters will expect
a huge display from him with his customary swagger as
he still built. Is he still a unit?

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Matt Heath, He's a he's a big man. It's funny.
The cricketing body is kind of different than than other bodies,
and he's kind of got skinny legs, but he's he's
he's a big man, and he's he's looking good and
he's he's such a superstar. You know, I was in
a number of rooms that he entered last night, and
you know, there's just a huge wave of excitement every

(01:27):
everywhere he goes. But I mean, he's the only he's
still the only cricket that I had a six off
the first ball of a Test match, So you know,
what's he going to do with the black clash and
T twenty fear And you know he's still he's not
far from from you know, playing at the highest level.
I mean, Brian Lara last year he was a long
wave from from his his glory days. But you know,
Chris Kales, he's still on the zone.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah. You know, he got like removed by the same
bowler only over or so after he hit six off him.
So ravenge was swift and effective. It's not often that
Sean Johnson gets second billing to anyone, but he's going
to be there playing as well well.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah, and I love that Shawnee Jay is playing because
he never really played cricket when.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
He ja listened to you, mister best mates with Shawn Johnson.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
But you know what I mean, most of these players
have played a bit in their life and you know,
always had aspirations. You know, Karen Reid had had a
serious chance of being, you know, a high level cricket player,
but chose rugby. But Shawney J. He never played. You know,
I think he played long wall as close as he
played to cricket when he was growing up. So he's

(02:38):
been training hard, so really interesting. But you know, these athletes,
they're different from the rest of us, aren't they, So
they can you know, his first delivery ever would be
better than my lifetime of trying to bolb.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Most people are very different from you, Maddie, h are
you going to Karen saying Shawney J. That's going to
calling you? Now let's tie it up. Well, we underway
at six thirty to night. Give us a couple of
other names of all Blacks or Black Caps that are
playing and where they can listen to your or you
and your fellow reprobates commentate on this.

Speaker 3 (03:10):

all six thirty you've got you've got Grant Elliott's playing again.

you've got you've got Kieran Reid again as we see
Chris Gayle, Will Jordan's in there.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Dan. It looks like we've lost coverage, which is about
part of the coss Heath all out there is managed
to pop back again, but we already started our outro,
so off you go, Matt Heath. Great to see lou
Vincent playing cricket again. He that's reason enough to go
with Shawnee Jay and the Universal Boss isn't enough Six
Cities Night TV one. It is the Black Clash, something

(03:51):
well worth watching. That's giggles. It's not serious sport. It's
all fun and that's basically what sports be all about.
