Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Wellington Mornings podcast with Nick Mills
from news.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Talk said b.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
It's the Friday sport gigarf with the glass Shop servicing
Wellington for over forty years.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Joining us for Friday sports kickoff. As news Talk said,
be's cricket man Andrew Oldison live from the base of
Reserve from day one of the of the second cricket
Test against England.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Andrew, good morning, greetings, lovely day here that you guys
have turned on for us coming into town and crowd
packing themselves into the basin expecting fine weather pretty much
over the course of the rest of.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
The gentle Southeast are coming in and I guess the
important news is the black Caps have won the toss
and they've decided to field.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
No.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Can I just say this is a the overcast and
horrible Wellington day. I don't know where you're getting your
information from, but this is Wellington's paradise, buddy.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah, it's looking pretty good at the moment where I
was scared at the top of the rav looking back
down and just people really anticipating what should be a
good contest provided these linking to hold their catches the time.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
You know, we're looking at you right now, We're seeing
you right now on the TV screen. Coops is not
in his head yet. Let's talk about the New Zealand team.
No room for Mitchell Sandler and the team they're going
to go with four seems reason.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I think they just decided that when they look at
that one pluck at Shield match probably is evidence and
seeing only three wickets taken by spin out of the
forty between Wellington and England, they've got to stif had
to contrast out against Nathan Lyon earlier in the year
in February for Australia against He's little a ten wicket bag.
So they thought that spin white play a role. But
eventually they've opted for the fact that they're going to have
(02:02):
back up there with Glenn Phillips's spin and also potentially
right to the wind. So I think opting to get
Nathan Smith back into the attack too on his home
turf for these days.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I think I spoke to David gow yesterday. He said
one reason, one reason only for the performance last week.
Drop catches your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah, that's exactly right. I just think it such a
bit of an anomally, isn't it. With eight drop catches
in that one nings including five and that nings of
Harriet Brock when we look back to it in the
course of they could have had him, but eighteen could
have had him what forty I think seventy one one
d and six hundred and forty seven He got one
hundred and seventy one in the end. I mean, you
take that one hundred and fifty three runs out of
(02:44):
the equation that started and you've got a much more
even Test match. So just coming here yesterday and observing
the practice, let's just say there was a fever to
focus on the catching. Gary instead was firing them with
a bomb to the the Forwden lined up at the
scoreboard end at the rova standing David Warham just the
(03:04):
didden days of your heaving with absolute unerring accuracy to
about five yards inside the boundary, and you had the
rest of the Black Caps outside of the slipboard and
all of us of lined up like I guess school
boys on a tension against the pickets waiting for their turn.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Yeah, it keeps there as well. Orders.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
I've just seen a stat as well coming from from
krick In for the seventeenth straight toss involving tests at
the basin reserve that the winning team has chosen to
bowl first. It seems like almost a foregone conclusion before
before the toss was even done today.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Yeah, Look, I wondered that maybe even back in the
the color of days, they might probably not though, and
that's the case that where you might have decided about
just to go against the flow of things.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I'm looking at that pitch now and I've seen it
that sort of. It's got that urden hue obviously to start,
but there's enough straw color just speaking through it could
get baked off in the nearly uncertain and in the
first day it suggested that batting could be good if
they can last preps their first couple of hours, if
your openness can do again in England's case, won't be
(04:06):
the case given how much aggression the day is displays.
But I'm just thinking if they can knock that out, really,
I think they could be some quite good betting conditions
this afternoon. So all is not lost.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It's just they have to have to work through a
little stage.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Andrew, A lot's been made of the of the amount
of overs being bold, and that slowness and the fines
and everything else. I was surprised that David go I
actually thought it was the right decision to make to
find them all. How do you find a team for
a slow Bowl over rate when the game finishes in
three and a half days.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I'm probably on David gelsor on listen make actually you know,
I think that I just feel like that the customer
and the people who are paying for it to come
to the ground that they deserve their ie overs if possible.
And I actually for been so contrary to that, raising
some good points too about obviously you're going to get
more over than with spin on the subcontinent, given it
takes less time, so I thought it would there was
(05:03):
something too afraid of that as to how that might work.
And spokes also say you could use if you've got
extra light in the day, why not use it?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
And if you've got artificial light.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Obviously on the basin, but other grounds around the world,
so sure they can reach a compromise on this or
that that ninety ten get bolder in the end.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
Yeah, and just adding what I think that. I mean,
you look at one day cricket, right, you buy buy
a ticket thinking you're going to see one hundred overs,
which is not off. On the case you buy a
ticket to a T twenty, you don't always see forty overs.
So it's for me, it's about, you know, probably case
by case as to whether it actually affected the match,
affected the entertainment value affected, you know that the crowd's
value for money, and I think we saw pretty good tests,
(05:42):
a lot of it falling in England's favor in christ Church,
and I can't imagine anyone from christ Church we're protesting
the day after the Test finished saying we didn't get
our money's worth there on those first few days.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Hundred Andrew, that's.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
A really good point as well, I think is you
can look at the quality of the cricket and I
think that the cricket advice is that that is in
Stokes's defense as well with his argument and Tom Latham
along similar lines, and we will go not going into
the same degree at each today's presser, but yeah, it's
not like people were lacking for entertainment, so that was
a good point.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Andrew, enjoy your day at the basin. I hope you
did bring a jersey just in case it chills down
of it because there's nothing like a test match at
the basin when the suddenly comes through. So just I
know that you've been there before, done that before, Catch
up tonight, enjoy your first day.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Indeed, I always bring a coat just in case. Yeah,
I've been caught.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Out so often.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
You can't beat Wellington on a good day, they say, coops. Right,
couple of big events this weekend. Let's start with the
Breakers in town to meet Sydney. If me and you
know laugh about it and joke about it's been five years,
I'm sure you're going to tell the listeners why it's
been five years, because he loved the story five years.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Surprise, that's happening that. I thought it was April Fool's
Day when I saw they were coming back to Wellington.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
But here they are.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
No they they vowed never to return well and I'm
quoting Matt Walsh directly vowed never to return while Nick
Mills was in charge of the Saints. But funny how
bit of time, bit of healing, but of help from
those around you, Nicks help help you know, he's a
bit attention and make this happen. So absolutely fantastic for Wellington.
I mean, what a brilliant weekend, no matter, no matter
what corner of sports you're involved. And I think you'll
(07:17):
be captured by something this weekend, you know, whether that's
the Phoenix being up in Auckland, whether that's you know,
the Breakers here the cricket at the base in which
I'm just absolutely fizzed for. I woke up this morning
at three am and had a smile on my face
straight away. But yeah, this Breakers game is absolutely huge.
We know that they're the you know, the main New
Zealand professional team. Whether you like how they're being run
or not. I think historically people with that great run
(07:40):
the Break has had under the Blackwells, people do feel
a connection with them, even if they don't have quite
maybe the personnel at the moment to regard home with that.
I think people rightly so respect the Breakers for the
team that they are. You know, obviously some questions now
about how they've gone about some of their later player signings.
You know who's been responsible for that? Is that the
right move for basketball? I guess you know, time will tell,
(08:03):
but they're at a bit of a slump at the moment.
So an absolutely huge game. And you mentioned just before
in that quick interview you had, which was which was
awesome to hear. You know, such a good connection the
Saints and Sydney have as well, and you expect this
to be plays with real passion but also an element
of friendliness tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Oh and I think that pleased to come home. I
know that Isaiah talked to Jordan during the week and
said he's looking forward to coming home and spending some
time with his family. He's of such a family person,
so it's great for him to come back. Make big game,
big game. And I think Matt Welsh probably thinks that
he negotiated deal with someone else other than me, So
that's for me how he got away with it.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
And might be so it's running himself.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
No, No, he's based in the state.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
What a shame you can't have a last handshake.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah, I would definitely do that. I did offer to
talk to him on here today but he didn't want
to do. Phoenix Auckland. This is a big one. I mean,
this is big, no matter what I mean. It's been
overshadowed by a cricket Test match, you know, really because
England versus New Zealand's as big as it gets. A
cricket really does not get any bigger and please don't
tell me Australia or South Africa, England, New Zealand's Vegas, right,
So I mean the Phoenix Auckland game sold out three
(09:05):
first three days of the Test match. I've got to
talk about this, sold out breakers in town to meet Sidney.
I think this under five hundred tickets. And just to
give you an idea, the Saints sell between three hundred
and six hundred tickets on the last day of a
Saints game, so they think that'll be a sell out.
Pretty good for sport. But let's to concentrate on the
Phoenix Hawking game.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
Yeah, well just quickly on that. I think you know,
people are monitoring, they're spending very carefully these days, but
these tickets sales show just what quality matchups, great rivalries
and unique occasions can do. And I think all the
three things they've covered there are fall into one of
those categories. Some of them cover both categories. So people
are saving their money, but they're willing to spend it
(09:43):
on big ticket items, which I think all three of
these events across the country this weekend, two of them here,
so huge game for the Phoenix and I think the
Phoenix really need to win this how just disappointing and
you know it's going to be a bad look if
the incumbent team in the A League can't get a
win in their first two games against the newcomers, and
it's going to be tough for them. They have to
travel up there. Twenty six thousand Raucus fans. They a loud,
(10:07):
rather obnoxious fans, I think the Auckland Port and then
they're not really football fans. They're just bad wagon jumpers.
Ready that suddenly find themselves five wins, no losses, no
goals conceded to start their new season, which is absolutely
incredible and you've got to respect where they've got to
in their very first season. Well, I take a lot
of my footballing knowledge from Piney and he didn't want
(10:27):
to give a commitment Phoenix one nill And that's purely
from Piney's head, it's not from his heart. He is
saying Phoenix one nil. Wow, you've got to go for that.
He Piney likes that the attacking kind of qualities that
the Phoenix have and he reckons coming from there by
last weekend that they may just have that a little
bit of extra spark and a little bit of extra edge.
So I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow.
(10:47):
Now I'm working at the basin. How am I going
to watch the football at five pm?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well you just finished? Oh no, you can't on your phone?
Speaker 5 (10:53):
It on you that on the big screen. Can't cut
be out?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Well there's time out so you can quickly have a look.
But I'll be watching that and then heading down to
tsp are In. Who you're picking out of the Breakers
in Sydney? I know that you're not really happy with
the Breakers.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
In it a bit of a shambles, though, I'm going
to pick Sidney.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Logically, I think, what about you?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah? I mean my heart says the Breakers, but my
brain says Sydney.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Very good friend of mine who watches a lot of
basketball was there in christ Church last night and he said,
just watching it with his own eyes, he's never seen
a team look more disinterested in being part of a team,
and that's from the Breakers.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
So I wouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Very careful what I say because I've just got back
in with Yeah, Matt Welsh, last time I got this,
we took five years for wanting to get a game.
The last time I abused the breakers, so I'll be
very care, careful, very care if you played the straight
bat this time, you go swigging and I'll be your backup.
I'll run, but you tell me to run. Thanks man,
Thanks Adam Cooper. You can catch Coops tomorrow morning at
(11:48):
between seven and nine on the All Sports Breakfast. It's
a great show and I'm sure he'll be speaking to
people from from the Phoenix, Auckland, the Cracker. He'll be
talking to them all.

What a shame you can't have a last handshake.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah, I would definitely do that. I did offer to

on big ticket items, which I think all three of
these events across the country this weekend, two of them here,
so huge game for the Phoenix and I think the
Phoenix really need to win this how just disappointing and
you know it's going to be a bad look if
the incumbent team in the A League can't get a
win in their first two games against the newcomers, and
it's going to be tough for them. They have to
travel up there. Twenty six thousand Raucus fans. They a loud,
(10:07):
rather obnoxious fans, I think the Auckland Port and then
they're not really football fans. They're just bad wagon jumpers.
Ready that suddenly find themselves five wins, no losses, no
goals conceded to start their new season, which is absolutely
incredible and you've got to respect where they've got to
in their very first season. Well, I take a lot
of my footballing knowledge from Piney and he didn't want
(10:27):
to give a commitment Phoenix one nill And that's purely
from Piney's head, it's not from his heart. He is
saying Phoenix one nil. Wow, you've got to go for that.
He Piney likes that the attacking kind of qualities that
the Phoenix have and he reckons coming from there by
last weekend that they may just have that a little
bit of extra spark and a little bit of extra edge.
So I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow.
(10:47):
Now I'm working at the basin. How am I going
to watch the football at five pm?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well you just finished? Oh no, you can't on your phone?
Speaker 5 (10:53):
It on you that on the big screen. Can't cut
be out?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Well there's time out so you can quickly have a look.
But I'll be watching that and then heading down to
tsp are In. Who you're picking out of the Breakers
in Sydney? I know that you're not really happy with
the Breakers.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
In it a bit of a shambles, though, I'm going
to pick Sidney.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Logically, I think, what about you?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah? I mean my heart says the Breakers, but my
brain says Sydney.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Very good friend of mine who watches a lot of
basketball was there in christ Church last night and he said,
just watching it with his own eyes, he's never seen
a team look more disinterested in being part of a team,
and that's from the Breakers.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
So I wouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Very careful what I say because I've just got back
in with Yeah, Matt Welsh, last time I got this,
we took five years for wanting to get a game.
The last time I abused the breakers, so I'll be
very care, careful, very care if you played the straight
bat this time, you go swigging and I'll be your backup.
I'll run, but you tell me to run. Thanks man,
Thanks Adam Cooper. You can catch Coops tomorrow morning at
(11:48):
between seven and nine on the All Sports Breakfast. It's
a great show and I'm sure he'll be speaking to
people from from the Phoenix, Auckland, the Cracker. He'll be
talking to them all.
