Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Weekend Sport Podcast with Jason Pine
from Newstalk z'b.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Our Australian correspondent who joins us now with sporting matters
from that side of the ditch. And I'm going to
start with the cricket Second Test Australia the India in
Adelaide a pink Ball Test Day Night Test, before we
talk about what happened on day one, end night one
of you A fan of you, a fan of the
pink ball Tests.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah, one one series, I reckon Piney, I wouldn't like
to see two in a best of five series or
two in a best of three. I think it kind
of just has that element where yes it's good and
it's still very much Test cricket, but it brings about
a variable and that's what Test cricket should always be,
whatever the venue. There should be subtle variables every time
(00:53):
you play somewhere else, because if it was the same
product on the same wickets with the same people, it
kind of get a bit stale. So now, magnus the
day yesterday and a really good one for Australia. We
saw eleven wickets all I'll be surprised as this goes
in the day for this test, I think things are
going to happen pretty quickly, but very much Australia's day.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Indeed, Yeah, Mitchell Stark will be lobbying for more pink
ball tests. Six for forty eight Indi, you're all out one
to eighty Australia eighty six for one A stumps a
really good day and night's work for Australia. What do
you predict for day two?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Everyone says that the once the ball gets about forty
hour years old, which is I think it's around the
mark now, then it gets a bit softer and if
you're bowling in that first session, you don't get a
little love through the air if the balls are get old.
So Australia, it's a massive, massive session for stuff for
Australia to push on. If they can't get away from India.
In terms of setting themselves up to get to their
(01:49):
total of one hundred and eighty, it's maybe two or
three down. If they're five or six downs and things
happen quickly with the second new ball, well then then
it's the fifty to fifty Again. It's up to India
what they can do with about and they showed them
the second inninger. They can readjust quickly from a first
innings disappointment. Yeah, I'm not calling it either way. I'm
just saying I'm happy for Australia and really happy for
(02:10):
miss Stark is a great guy and bold really well
in Perth without reward. Sometimes he's got his reward yesterday.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, he don't have to prove anything. But there's a
couple of guys in that team who probably do feel
as though they've got a bit to prove and a
bit to play for. Manus Labashane is one of them.
He's a fascinating character, isn't he. I was watching a
bit of a bat last night. How much pressure do
you think he's under for his test spot?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I a guy like Marnus who loves cricket that much. No,
there is no greater pressure than what he is putting
on himself to try and perform. He's not really paying
too much attention to opinion pieces and as it does,
it goes with the territory. I scratched my head a
bit test cricketers when they go, oh, you blokes a
(02:52):
bagonist of this, that and the other, It's like, no,
the whole country loves Test cricket, or a lot of
people do love Test cricket. So there is going to
be an element of criticism when things aren't coming well.
It's just part of it. But Manus, he hasn't said anything,
He hasn't said anything like that. It's all the pressure
on himself and he played really well like he played
himself into his innings last night. They were very very
(03:14):
fairpy all of a sudden India when uners came to
the crease, but he did well to survive that period
and then look to consolidate once he was in all right, we'll.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Look forward to seeing how Day two and Night two
play out. Other matters around on your side of the testament,
Laurie Daily is new South Wales Blues state of origin coach. Again.
He did this job between twenty thirteen and twenty seventeen,
not with great success, just six wins from the fifteen
games he oversaw. What was the reaction to this appointment
or reappointment?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, in some course as a head scratcher because he's
been there and you mentioned the record there only one
series win in twenty fourteen. But then the foot side
is and the Daily supporters like well, he was up
against the greatest oriage in side of all time with Slador, Kronk, Smith, English, etc. Etc.
(04:03):
And to get a series win against that mob was
bordering on a miracle. Like all those players are just
mentioned ag or either in or going into the Hall
of Fame. So it's up against it was Now New
South Wales have got a really good side. I'm not
sure saying they've got a team full of Hall of famers,
but they've got guys who won four Premierships Pendrich for instance, Clearing,
(04:24):
you know, Edwards, all those guys. So yeah, he's got
a massive opportunity. I see his role more of a
manager if he liked and then that the actual coaching
and tactical input comes from his assistance. So I don't
mind it because he's such a great guy. And it
wasn't as if there were thirteen candidates banging down Meador
who was either him or Matt King the former Roosters
(04:45):
and Stilm Center. So yeah, they gave it the loss all.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Right to the Matilda's. They had one more game I
think even against Chinese Taipei day back to back games
against Brazil, both of them were defeats, which was a
surprise to me. What's been made of back to back
losses by the Matildas.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, they're never ending international breaks for the Matilda's. What
they've done they kind of the squads a bit. They've
chosen very much like a squad filling line up for
Chinese Taipei. There's two games where midway of that they
won the other night in Melbourne, the first game against
Chinese Type A and then the first the first team
(05:23):
is if you like, played against Brazil, didn't quite go
their way. Look again without Steph Katley, little Nigle, Mary
Powel wasn't his and Curse still coming back. So some
of our best, but it does show that the world,
the world is evolving in women's football and Brazil played
this dynamic, pounter attacking game and that they're hard to stop,
(05:43):
especially in transition. A lot of power, a lot of
pace and we couldn't deal with it in big moments.
So that's the task for the next manager. Tom Somanna,
who you know from his time with New Zealand, he
has said he's not taking a full time job. He's
very much the interim. So now it's over the FA
to to see who's going to manage this team and
take them forward because there's a lot to do in
(06:04):
a short amount of time. All of a sudden, the
Asian cups around the corner, and then after that it's
another World Cup and I'd be very surprised at this stage,
happy to be proven wrong, very surprised that the until
has come up with another semi final appearance at a
World Cup based on what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
All right, interesting times ahead. Just before you go, staying
with football, we've got a key we derby over the
side of the Tasman this afternoon in just a couple
of hours actually, Aukland FC, Wellington Phoenix. I'm not sure
whether you've been keeping an eye on our two A
League teams got to pick for us.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, well it's hard to go pastor awards done and
Steve Coriker, it's an amazing way to respond to give
him being shown the door at Sydney where he's a
club legend and come up with that. But I do
know how much work and you know as well, playing
how much work Awkland FC you've done behind the scenes.
I've got Terry mc flinn involved, another former Sydney FC person,
and the right front office staff to kind of get
(06:55):
things going in the right direction to get the fans
through the gate. And they've done so well in saying
all that. I've just got a feeling in a game
like this that well, I can pick cut up with something.
So they've got the weapons, don't they. So yeah, I'll go,
I'll go the upset, I'll go. I'll go. Well Inton
a taipeline something like two to one. But what I
do know is going to be a great occasion. I'm
fortunately going to be on a golf course or fortunately
for me, unfortunately for my football viewing habits, but I
(07:19):
will be catching a catching up with it because this
is exactly what the A League needs. It's what it's
had over this side of the country, this side of
the Tasmum not that long ago. It seems to have
just morphed it away a little with Derby's and the
light not selling out. This hopefully is it a bit
more pop and yeah, great occasion.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, I'll keep an eye on it for you, Adam
Shall I'll keep an eye on it over here.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah. Yeah, if you can give me a light of
those teties. You're not very busy during the game. So
because a couple of what that message is, what's going.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
On that'll be good good, only make great to ten
us always. We'll do it again next Saturday.
