On Sports Fix with D'Arcy Waldegrave and Jason Pine for 2nd October 2025, the Black Caps opened up their 'spring' of cricket last night against the Australians. They found themselves in trouble early sitting at 6-3 inside 2 overs, then batsman Tim Robinson stepped up scoring his first T20I century and setting up a competitive total for the Black Caps. D'Arcy caught up with Tim to talk all about it.
D'Arcy shared his thoughts on the current state of the Silver Ferns amid the continued coaching saga.
And D'Arcy and Piney discussed the Black Caps and White Ferns results from last night, as well as Steve Corica, current Auckland FC coach, being named as the coach of the decade in the A League.

This is Sportsfix Howard by News Talks EDB.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hello there and welcome into the Sports Fixed podcast in
association with our great mates at GJ. Gardner Holmes, New
Zealand's most trusted home builder.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
As we charge into October, two.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Days and already it's a Thursday, October. The second I'm
Jason Pine.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Maram is Darcy Wallgrave. That time of the week again, Jason,
the pleasure is always mine. Welcome on in.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
No, I think I get a bit of pleasure from
chatting sport with you as well, Dar, So I don't
think it can be exclusive to just you. What I
do know is that cricket test started. It's early October.
I don't think we've ever had international cricket this early
in a domestic summer, but we had some of them
out last night. We've got the White Ferns playing, of
course at their fifty over World Cup.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
And I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Discuss those two things with you in terms of a
guest today, who do we get the pleasure of hearing
from today?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
We've got last night seen Treuemaker on the program Makeshift
First Drop. Tim Robinson joined us.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Looking very much forward to that and the latest Force
news too, So let's get into it. In other news,
let's get things going with a look at some of
the big sports stories around today. Defeat for the White
Ferns and their opening fifty over World Cup match at indoor,
New Zealand dismissed for two hundred and thirty seven and
the forty fourth over to lose by eighty nine runs
to Australia despite one hundred and eleven from captain Sophie Devine.
(01:34):
Probably pretty bittersweet, to be fair, like, I throw it
all away just.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
To make sure that this team won.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
So I think the thing that I'm most proud of
is the fight that this team showed. I think a
couple of years ago we probably would have thrown in
a towel and been scheduled for one.
Speaker 7 (01:46):
Hundred and fifty.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
New Zealand next place South Africa on Monday Night. Rooster's
skipper James Tedesco has earned a second Dallym medal for
the NRL's Player of the Year in the most lopsided
vote count in a decade.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Coming into work every day was a joy of smile
on my face.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Had fun, so much fun working with you boys and
leading you boys out of a week to disco. Finished
twenty two points clear of his nearest rival to take
the top individual price and two from two for Arsenal
and Football's Champions League. They've bagged a two nil home
win over Olympiakos, secure it by a ninetieth minute strike
from bucay Osaka.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
It's sucker.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
Sell that.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Use a villion.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
It's Sports Fix with Jason Hyne and Dussy Walter Grave joined.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Now by Tim Robinson, the hero from the Black Caps.
If at last night, coming at first drop managed to
score himself a ton T twenty I joins us now
good eight.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Tim good ay, Darcy House.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Things very good. Not as good as with you you
must be when you woke up this morning after hitting
that ton last night and securing it with like two
balls to go. What was your first feeling when you
sat bolt right a bolt up riding bed.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
I sort of bowled off riding bed for most of
the night really, because you don't sort of after those
night games with the lights flashing and you get a
little bit of a buzz going it feels like you've
heard about four or five coffees, and I was sort
of struggled to go to sleep, and it was really
a bit on each most of the night, to be honest,
But I no, I woke up pretty excited this morning
and wanted to give give him old Lady my old
(03:22):
man ring for and thank them for coming up all
the way from the farm you today to watch and yeah,
it was pretty stoked.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Did you bring your mate ratching, ravishing Rick Ravendra what
I want to call him, because he's a friend of yours, right,
he cut his face up, so he got his job.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
Yeah, yeah, well he got Yeah, he gave me a job.
He gave me a job by my headbutting a fence post.
But no, I have facetimed him this morning. He's a
he's a real close made of mine. So so he
was I mean I was, yeah, firstly pretty gutted there
he was that he was going home. But then also
sort of on the back of that, it gave me
an opportunity to check the black jersey on.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
So it's been a little bit of a roller coaster,
well big roller coaster the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
So but you know, he's tracking along all good, and
yeah he's pretty happy for me, which is good, which
is nice of him.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
It doesn't surprise me. He's a great human. When you
up at the crease, well six and seven's that's saying
the least. The team was a mess? What about these
emotions when you walked up? So how do I pull
the team out of that? What do I have to do?
It was all on your shoulders, wasn't it?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
I mean it was it was bloody good having Darrel there.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
He took a lot of the pressure off by playing
the natural aggressive way that he does and and kind
of kickstarted things off for us after a little bit of.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
A messy power play.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
But yeah, I mean you get that on the big jobs,
especially against Ozzy and and we just sort of tried
to take every ball as it comes and and play
the ball on its meret And I thought the ball
was there to hit the six Bible Mighty John try
and hit at six.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
But yeah, Darrell took a lot of the pressure off.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
And then we managed to feed off that momentum a
little bit as the as the endings went on.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, so you you were in because you came in
at first drop and then pretty much as soon as
you're rocked up the crease, didn't Mark Chapman go for
a duck And that's when Darryl came in. So that's
just increasing the dramas you already had because they're already
well two for nothing really when you walked up to
the crease.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
It's sort of the way that cricket goes sometimes when
it's when it runs against you, it runs against you,
and then when it runs for you, it's.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Running for you. I mean, we had have got bold
and then and then Chappy got straggled down the.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
League side, which was a bit rough, so there was
two and two balls and then all of a sudden
we're six for three or something.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
So yeah, we were in a little bit of a
hole there, a bit of a bind.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
But Daryl Mitchell, one of the nicest guys in New
Zealand cricket, did the job. He kind of got away
from you. So talk to us about the way you
built your innings. Because there was suddenly a blink of
an eye, you'd disappeared up up ahead of him. So
what triggered that acceleration and runs?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
I think Tim it's a funny, it's a funny we game.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
I think the longer you the longer you're out of
the crease, the more comfortable you feel, the more you get.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
A feel of the conditions. The bowl is all that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
And I've got a few balls that sort of my
eyes lit up at and could put away, And I
suppose was lucky.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Enough to get those away, which kick started me off.
And then you start moving a little bit more freely.
You're a little bit more confident.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
And so it was just all about trying to trying
to maximize the balls that you could score off, and
and and yeah, try and grable a.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Little momentum back.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Remind me a bit of Martin gap Door because when
he debuted, I'm right with this one, it was up
against the West Indies. He scored a ton, but he
got dropped four or five times. Now you've managed to
ride your luck too, didn't you something rotten?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Yeah, for sure, I think it was.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I was talking to Brownie the umpire at one end,
and I said to him, I was going to put
it all on black after I'd finished, after I'd finished,
because I couldn't believe how lucky I was during that
middle period. So I do oh, a few people a beer,
I reckon I Travis had a couple of beers.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Tim David and Michael Bracewell.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Tell us about the century. Because you were looking at
a century and took what seemed like and determinate amount
of time before you got that opportunity, how did you
manage your stress levels, your pace, your heart during that
time because you knew what was coming, but you didn't
get ahead of yourself. So talk to us about that, Tim.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Yeah, I think that's that's I think probably a testament
to the black Caps environment. And and someone like Rutchan
is fantastic playing a ball on its mirrants and making
sure that he's reacting every single ball and not premeditating
anything that could potentially come down to him. So he's
a guy that I trained a lot with and try
(07:45):
and emulate, emulate some of his stuff.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
And I suppose making sure that.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Every ball is its own ball, its own event, and
trying to win that event when it happens.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
So yeah, I think just trying to stay in the
moment and.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Make sure I was I had had a clear plan
and tried to execute that rather than think too much
too much about a milestone.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
I suppose.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
Dissecting the sporting agenda. It's sportsfex with Dancy Waldgrave, a.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Blind man in a dark room looking for a cat
that isn't even there. We've all heard that before and
I get the feeling this is what's going on at
Netball New Zealand. Into day two now of the conversation
between Netball New Zealand and the coach stood down at
Nolin Toadua, We're still none the wiser. It's still based
(08:36):
on rumor and innuendo and leaked information from inside the camp.
It's only a couple of weeks now until the Ferns
take on the giants of netball and the Constellation Cup. That,
of course is the Australians. The lead in and the
build up to this Test series is possibly the worst
lead up this team has ever had. Short they've managed
(08:58):
to win themselves a series, the tiny Jamison up against
the South Africans, taking it to the last to make
sure they won that series three nil. Grace Weke took
the opportunity and that series to pin her colors to
the mast of Noline tour. But even after two days,
maybe even a third day of negotiations, I don't see
(09:20):
this coming to a satisfactory conclusion for anybody? What will
be the upshot of this? Will Noleane be stood down?
Will the board be stood down? Will the CEO be
stood down? Well, the players at the center of the storm,
will they be stood down? When push comes to shove?
No one knows until there is a statement from Netball
(09:41):
New Zealand, and let's face it, with the statements we've
had from them in the past, I don't know if
we'll learn anything at all. I expect that all of
the conversations will be throttled by non disclosure agreements, by
the excuse that it's based on employment law. You get
the idea, will heads roll? Will the right head roll?
(10:01):
Where will their heads roll? Off? From the team, from
the administration, from the coaching staff. This has been terrible
for Netball New Zealand. This has whipped out the rug
from underneath the feet of the players who just want
to play, although it sounds like some of them aren't
interested in playing, and I think with the nature of
(10:21):
player power in sport, there has been an over correction
and this is an opportunity now for Netball New Zealand
to put their foot down and go we're running the show,
not the athletes. If you don't like it, sling your hook,
but the chances of that happening remote.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
The chamber is now in session on Sportsfix.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Well let's get inside the chamber.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Well. As mentioned, it's a very very early start to
the international summer of cricket. The home some of that
is worth cricket a Mount Montanui last night, JA, don't
know what that You do?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Look a bit colder, didn't it? Man looked a bit cold.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
My TV screen fogged up. It was awful. I feel
for the Australians particularly, but look, let's face it, you
play bit a club yourself, Jason, did you back in
the day? I did. Italian christ Jet season got underway
in October and we spent the first month playing in
those conditions and it was all good. We got through
it because we were so keen to play the game again.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Right six for three we were.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I was starting to think about how long this game
might last. But then, of course we got some runs,
in particular from Tim Robinson, but one at one I
tried to tell myself between innings that that was going
to be enough, But then I remember, do you know
what do you know who the masters of T twenty
cricket are, Australia. They got there were three and a
half overs to spare. That is a really comfortable margin
of victory, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Well, it looked like maybe we might be able to
reel them in. And then as soon as I started
getting a bit enthusiastic about that, well it didn't kind
of happen. I suppose the first five overs of what
the Australian's DELIVEREDY went okay, fine, this is not happening.
This is not happening. Trevor's head trying to make up
for his disaster in the field, although that runout was
something else. These guys electric, and let's remember there's a
(12:05):
couple of pretty key players not there as well. Yet
we're missing a couple of key players, granted, and maybe
with the ball that's where we suffered. I don't know
what to make of this spring of cricket. I don't
know what the public make of this spring of cricket.
I just don't know what to make of it. Are
you comfortable in this space, piny.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
No, it was comfortable on my couch last night watching
I know, I all joking aside, I was I thought
of this week, I'll watch a bit of cricket because
I love my cricket, as do you, and so I
was quite happy sitting down. I must admit, though you
talked about a couple of players not being there, i'd
kind of pride myself on knowing a little bit about
the team's New Zealand come up against. I freely admit
I had never heard of Mitchell Owen, Ben Dwarfious or
(12:43):
Xavier Bartlett's. I had never heard of those guys.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
I'd heard of Divorceous because his name is almost impossible
to pronounce. When he first came on the scene, I
was like, what do you call that? Dude? But isn't
that reflecting a reflection of international cricket, the turnover of
players that go to franchise cricket, that play test cricket,
to play one day cricket, that move all over the world.
You're going to have a large amount of cricket and
(13:07):
carcas is on the park, and it's there's going to
be a high turnover carcasses.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I don't mind that.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Well, let's hope the weather forecast isn't right, because for
Tomorrow night and Saturday night, there's rain forecast of the mountain.
I'd love to think that it would be, you know,
that kind of January February, whether we get a Mount Mongeriwy.
But by the sounds of it, the rain might have it. Say,
let's hope New Zealand can bounce back if indeed there
is some cricket in these remaining two matches.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
The weather was better over in India though, and the
same kind of atrocious start two for none.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yes, it's like, yeah, and Georgia Plumber, Georgia Plumber run
out without facing a ball.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
The worst way.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I can't be convinced otherwise.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
The worst way to get out in cricket is when
you don't score a run and you do not face
a ball.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
It's the diamond duck, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
A believer?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yeah, that's that. But then again, the fortunes turned and
it looked okay, and things were just starting to get
a bit of traction. Oh, I've got to go to
bed and wake up in the middle of the night
to find that the Australians have scored eight million runs.
It's like, okay, there's nothing we can do about that.
They are the gold standard. But Hey, Sophie Divine managed
to get herself a ton one hundred and eleven she
(14:16):
clocked up in Nelson Mealy Kerr managed to get her
one hundredth One Day International wicket, so it's not all lost.
And I suppose when you take on the best team
in the world, I suppose India around them first up,
it gives you a real idea about we stand. So
it's not entirely negative.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
No, I agree, I agree, And you're right.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
There were some in the phrase that's become quite trendy,
some green shoots there of promise and look, I mean, man,
how long Sophie Devine means scoring runs for us and
again continues to be the case in this her swan song.
But yeah, Australia, look, I don't mind getting them out
of the way first, you know. And now as you
say we've just got to get our heads down, say, well,
(14:57):
the White fans have to get their heads down. And
just when the other matches, you've got to finish in
the top four. It's one of those everybody plays everybody
around robin situations. You make the top four and you're
into the semi final. So it's so clear, that's so
clean I love that format that works perfectly.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
And what is it with us? Sports cast is always
saying we woman men a team that we've got nothing
to do with. It's a strange habit that we all
fall into. But at least you correct yourself and I
try and do that thing as well. They are not we,
they are team representing us.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
They are indeed Ashley Gardener with one hundred and fifteen
eighty three balls stuff for Australia. You're right there are
some there are some superstars in that team. I mean
that's even before you look at Alyssa Heay, Elisee Perry,
Beth Mooney. These players have been around for so long, Dar,
so it's not a surprise that they started well in
this tournament. They are, as you correctly pointed out, the
(15:47):
gold standard.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
So I'm not going to get too upset by it.
What I am upset by is the fact that it's
all through the middle of the night and I can't
watch it in time. Mattsticks Islands, you know it works.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
It is a bit like that, but you know, we
sacrifice sleep at times like this to make sure we're
up and about and covering off stuff that needs to
be covered off. Hey, quick word on Steve corickt Do
you catch this news? He's been named coach of the
A League's Team of the Decade twenty fifteen to twenty
twenty five. This is pretty cool feather in his cap,
isn't it now?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Well, I'm hoping you can expand on that. You obviously
know a great deal about football. I'm presuming a lot
of this comes from his time at Sydney, which is
why Auckland decided, well, let's go over there and stick
him in a hasse and sack and drag him over
to Auckland. Steve can do the same trick. But this
is a decade of excellence, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Absolutely for Steve Corriker. And the irony of it all
does is that he was sacked by Sydney FC. Let's
not forget that after all the success he brought to
the club. You know, he also was part of the
of the A League Team of the Decade from five
to twenty fifteen, so the first decade as a player
of course, then he transitioned across to coaching. Brought a
lot of success to Sydney FC. But they've got a
(16:57):
bit restless when that success dried up somewhat. He was sacked,
wasn't out of a job for long. I think Auckland
FC is the little cherry on top here and really,
I mean there have been some good coaches in the
last ten years, but I think he was a fairly
I think that's a fairly obvious choice as as coach
of the last decade across in the FC mainly but
cross Aukland FC two.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
So player then coach. What's the next step? What can
he get top ten on that? What's the next decade?
How does that work?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
The only other category in these things is referee of
the decade. So and if you know Steve Coricker, and
I think you do, I don't think he'll be transitioning
across to the referee ranks anytime soon. I think he'll
just stay as a coach and start and just keep
yelling at those referees.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
It's probably paying fifty bucks of the TB might be
worth fifty cents on it, you never know.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Right, Yeah, congrats to the man they call bimb Steve
Coricker Coach of the decade and the A League. And
this was voted for incidentally by by PFA members, so
you know, you know fellow players, fellow coaches, those involved
in the game, not a fan vote, which can often
be a bit skewed if somebody just gets on and
clicks a button a thousand million times. This was actually
(18:04):
chosen by those who are in the know, So congratulations
to Steve Coricker. This has latest on just a couple
of weeks until the new A League season starts.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
And that is indeed that, and on that, I'm just
climbing in on you. You didn't let me talk enough. Okay, fine,
that's it for them. I'm so rude, Piney, close it off.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Get out.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Dissecting the sporting agenda.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
It's Sportsfix with Jason Pine and Darcy Walter Grave.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
And that's it for the Sports Fix podcast. I climbed
it again, all over the top of Jason Pine. I
hope you've enjoyed it. If you have and you haven't subscribed,
you should do that way Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
and I'll arrive in your inbox without interruption or more importantly,
any work required by yourself. Tell your friends, tell your family,
get everybody engaged, because you know, Piney, there's no point
(18:50):
in doing this if no one's listening. You know we
need the ears. We need all the ears we can
possibly get.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
To be honest with the other, Darce, I'd still talk
sport with you for twenty minutes each day even if
nobody was listening.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
We just hope that they are.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It pleases our bosses a lot more so if you
could help help us out in that regard, that'd be great.

Hello there and welcome into the Sports Fixed podcast in
association with our great mates at GJ. Gardner Holmes, New
Zealand's most trusted home builder.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
As we charge into October, two.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Days and already it's a Thursday, October. The second I'm
Jason Pine.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Maram is Darcy Wallgrave. That time of the week again, Jason,
the pleasure is always mine. Welcome on in.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
No, I think I get a bit of pleasure from
chatting sport with you as well, Dar, So I don't
think it can be exclusive to just you. What I
do know is that cricket test started. It's early October.
I don't think we've ever had international cricket this early
in a domestic summer, but we had some of them
out last night. We've got the White Ferns playing, of
course at their fifty over World Cup.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
And I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Discuss those two things with you in terms of a
guest today, who do we get the pleasure of hearing
from today?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
We've got last night seen Treuemaker on the program Makeshift
First Drop. Tim Robinson joined us.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Looking very much forward to that and the latest Force
news too, So let's get into it. In other news,
let's get things going with a look at some of
the big sports stories around today. Defeat for the White
Ferns and their opening fifty over World Cup match at indoor,
New Zealand dismissed for two hundred and thirty seven and
the forty fourth over to lose by eighty nine runs
to Australia despite one hundred and eleven from captain Sophie Devine.
(01:34):
Probably pretty bittersweet, to be fair, like, I throw it
all away just.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
To make sure that this team won.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
So I think the thing that I'm most proud of
is the fight that this team showed. I think a
couple of years ago we probably would have thrown in
a towel and been scheduled for one.
Speaker 7 (01:46):
Hundred and fifty.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
New Zealand next place South Africa on Monday Night. Rooster's
skipper James Tedesco has earned a second Dallym medal for
the NRL's Player of the Year in the most lopsided
vote count in a decade.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Coming into work every day was a joy of smile
on my face.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Had fun, so much fun working with you boys and
leading you boys out of a week to disco. Finished
twenty two points clear of his nearest rival to take
the top individual price and two from two for Arsenal
and Football's Champions League. They've bagged a two nil home
win over Olympiakos, secure it by a ninetieth minute strike
from bucay Osaka.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
It's sucker.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
Sell that.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Use a villion.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
It's Sports Fix with Jason Hyne and Dussy Walter Grave joined.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Now by Tim Robinson, the hero from the Black Caps.
If at last night, coming at first drop managed to
score himself a ton T twenty I joins us now
good eight.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Tim good ay, Darcy House.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Things very good. Not as good as with you you
must be when you woke up this morning after hitting
that ton last night and securing it with like two
balls to go. What was your first feeling when you
sat bolt right a bolt up riding bed.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
I sort of bowled off riding bed for most of
the night really, because you don't sort of after those
night games with the lights flashing and you get a
little bit of a buzz going it feels like you've
heard about four or five coffees, and I was sort
of struggled to go to sleep, and it was really
a bit on each most of the night, to be honest,
But I no, I woke up pretty excited this morning
and wanted to give give him old Lady my old
(03:22):
man ring for and thank them for coming up all
the way from the farm you today to watch and yeah,
it was pretty stoked.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Did you bring your mate ratching, ravishing Rick Ravendra what
I want to call him, because he's a friend of yours, right,
he cut his face up, so he got his job.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
Yeah, yeah, well he got Yeah, he gave me a job.
He gave me a job by my headbutting a fence post.
But no, I have facetimed him this morning. He's a
he's a real close made of mine. So so he
was I mean I was, yeah, firstly pretty gutted there
he was that he was going home. But then also
sort of on the back of that, it gave me
an opportunity to check the black jersey on.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
So it's been a little bit of a roller coaster,
well big roller coaster the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
So but you know, he's tracking along all good, and
yeah he's pretty happy for me, which is good, which
is nice of him.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
It doesn't surprise me. He's a great human. When you
up at the crease, well six and seven's that's saying
the least. The team was a mess? What about these
emotions when you walked up? So how do I pull
the team out of that? What do I have to do?
It was all on your shoulders, wasn't it?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
I mean it was it was bloody good having Darrel there.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
He took a lot of the pressure off by playing
the natural aggressive way that he does and and kind
of kickstarted things off for us after a little bit of.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
A messy power play.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
But yeah, I mean you get that on the big jobs,
especially against Ozzy and and we just sort of tried
to take every ball as it comes and and play
the ball on its meret And I thought the ball
was there to hit the six Bible Mighty John try
and hit at six.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
But yeah, Darrell took a lot of the pressure off.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
And then we managed to feed off that momentum a
little bit as the as the endings went on.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, so you you were in because you came in
at first drop and then pretty much as soon as
you're rocked up the crease, didn't Mark Chapman go for
a duck And that's when Darryl came in. So that's
just increasing the dramas you already had because they're already
well two for nothing really when you walked up to
the crease.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
It's sort of the way that cricket goes sometimes when
it's when it runs against you, it runs against you,
and then when it runs for you, it's.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Running for you. I mean, we had have got bold
and then and then Chappy got straggled down the.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
League side, which was a bit rough, so there was
two and two balls and then all of a sudden
we're six for three or something.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
So yeah, we were in a little bit of a
hole there, a bit of a bind.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
But Daryl Mitchell, one of the nicest guys in New
Zealand cricket, did the job. He kind of got away
from you. So talk to us about the way you
built your innings. Because there was suddenly a blink of
an eye, you'd disappeared up up ahead of him. So
what triggered that acceleration and runs?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
I think Tim it's a funny, it's a funny we game.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
I think the longer you the longer you're out of
the crease, the more comfortable you feel, the more you get.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
A feel of the conditions. The bowl is all that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
And I've got a few balls that sort of my
eyes lit up at and could put away, And I
suppose was lucky.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Enough to get those away, which kick started me off.
And then you start moving a little bit more freely.
You're a little bit more confident.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
And so it was just all about trying to trying
to maximize the balls that you could score off, and
and and yeah, try and grable a.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Little momentum back.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Remind me a bit of Martin gap Door because when
he debuted, I'm right with this one, it was up
against the West Indies. He scored a ton, but he
got dropped four or five times. Now you've managed to
ride your luck too, didn't you something rotten?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Yeah, for sure, I think it was.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I was talking to Brownie the umpire at one end,
and I said to him, I was going to put
it all on black after I'd finished, after I'd finished,
because I couldn't believe how lucky I was during that
middle period. So I do oh, a few people a beer,
I reckon I Travis had a couple of beers.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Tim David and Michael Bracewell.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Tell us about the century. Because you were looking at
a century and took what seemed like and determinate amount
of time before you got that opportunity, how did you
manage your stress levels, your pace, your heart during that
time because you knew what was coming, but you didn't
get ahead of yourself. So talk to us about that, Tim.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Yeah, I think that's that's I think probably a testament
to the black Caps environment. And and someone like Rutchan
is fantastic playing a ball on its mirrants and making
sure that he's reacting every single ball and not premeditating
anything that could potentially come down to him. So he's
a guy that I trained a lot with and try
(07:45):
and emulate, emulate some of his stuff.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
And I suppose making sure that.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Every ball is its own ball, its own event, and
trying to win that event when it happens.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
So yeah, I think just trying to stay in the
moment and.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Make sure I was I had had a clear plan
and tried to execute that rather than think too much
too much about a milestone.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
I suppose.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
Dissecting the sporting agenda. It's sportsfex with Dancy Waldgrave, a.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Blind man in a dark room looking for a cat
that isn't even there. We've all heard that before and
I get the feeling this is what's going on at
Netball New Zealand. Into day two now of the conversation
between Netball New Zealand and the coach stood down at
Nolin Toadua, We're still none the wiser. It's still based
(08:36):
on rumor and innuendo and leaked information from inside the camp.
It's only a couple of weeks now until the Ferns
take on the giants of netball and the Constellation Cup. That,
of course is the Australians. The lead in and the
build up to this Test series is possibly the worst
lead up this team has ever had. Short they've managed
(08:58):
to win themselves a series, the tiny Jamison up against
the South Africans, taking it to the last to make
sure they won that series three nil. Grace Weke took
the opportunity and that series to pin her colors to
the mast of Noline tour. But even after two days,
maybe even a third day of negotiations, I don't see
(09:20):
this coming to a satisfactory conclusion for anybody? What will
be the upshot of this? Will Noleane be stood down?
Will the board be stood down? Will the CEO be
stood down? Well, the players at the center of the storm,
will they be stood down? When push comes to shove?
No one knows until there is a statement from Netball
(09:41):
New Zealand, and let's face it, with the statements we've
had from them in the past, I don't know if
we'll learn anything at all. I expect that all of
the conversations will be throttled by non disclosure agreements, by
the excuse that it's based on employment law. You get
the idea, will heads roll? Will the right head roll?
(10:01):
Where will their heads roll? Off? From the team, from
the administration, from the coaching staff. This has been terrible
for Netball New Zealand. This has whipped out the rug
from underneath the feet of the players who just want
to play, although it sounds like some of them aren't
interested in playing, and I think with the nature of
(10:21):
player power in sport, there has been an over correction
and this is an opportunity now for Netball New Zealand
to put their foot down and go we're running the show,
not the athletes. If you don't like it, sling your hook,
but the chances of that happening remote.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
The chamber is now in session on Sportsfix.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Well let's get inside the chamber.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Well. As mentioned, it's a very very early start to
the international summer of cricket. The home some of that
is worth cricket a Mount Montanui last night, JA, don't
know what that You do?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Look a bit colder, didn't it? Man looked a bit cold.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
My TV screen fogged up. It was awful. I feel
for the Australians particularly, but look, let's face it, you
play bit a club yourself, Jason, did you back in
the day? I did. Italian christ Jet season got underway
in October and we spent the first month playing in
those conditions and it was all good. We got through
it because we were so keen to play the game again.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Right six for three we were.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I was starting to think about how long this game
might last. But then, of course we got some runs,
in particular from Tim Robinson, but one at one I
tried to tell myself between innings that that was going
to be enough, But then I remember, do you know
what do you know who the masters of T twenty
cricket are, Australia. They got there were three and a
half overs to spare. That is a really comfortable margin
of victory, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Well, it looked like maybe we might be able to
reel them in. And then as soon as I started
getting a bit enthusiastic about that, well it didn't kind
of happen. I suppose the first five overs of what
the Australian's DELIVEREDY went okay, fine, this is not happening.
This is not happening. Trevor's head trying to make up
for his disaster in the field, although that runout was
something else. These guys electric, and let's remember there's a
(12:05):
couple of pretty key players not there as well. Yet
we're missing a couple of key players, granted, and maybe
with the ball that's where we suffered. I don't know
what to make of this spring of cricket. I don't
know what the public make of this spring of cricket.
I just don't know what to make of it. Are
you comfortable in this space, piny.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
No, it was comfortable on my couch last night watching
I know, I all joking aside, I was I thought
of this week, I'll watch a bit of cricket because
I love my cricket, as do you, and so I
was quite happy sitting down. I must admit, though you
talked about a couple of players not being there, i'd
kind of pride myself on knowing a little bit about
the team's New Zealand come up against. I freely admit
I had never heard of Mitchell Owen, Ben Dwarfious or
(12:43):
Xavier Bartlett's. I had never heard of those guys.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
I'd heard of Divorceous because his name is almost impossible
to pronounce. When he first came on the scene, I
was like, what do you call that? Dude? But isn't
that reflecting a reflection of international cricket, the turnover of
players that go to franchise cricket, that play test cricket,
to play one day cricket, that move all over the world.
You're going to have a large amount of cricket and
(13:07):
carcas is on the park, and it's there's going to
be a high turnover carcasses.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I don't mind that.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Well, let's hope the weather forecast isn't right, because for
Tomorrow night and Saturday night, there's rain forecast of the mountain.
I'd love to think that it would be, you know,
that kind of January February, whether we get a Mount Mongeriwy.
But by the sounds of it, the rain might have it. Say,
let's hope New Zealand can bounce back if indeed there
is some cricket in these remaining two matches.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
The weather was better over in India though, and the
same kind of atrocious start two for none.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yes, it's like, yeah, and Georgia Plumber, Georgia Plumber run
out without facing a ball.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
The worst way.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I can't be convinced otherwise.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
The worst way to get out in cricket is when
you don't score a run and you do not face
a ball.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
It's the diamond duck, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
A believer?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yeah, that's that. But then again, the fortunes turned and
it looked okay, and things were just starting to get
a bit of traction. Oh, I've got to go to
bed and wake up in the middle of the night
to find that the Australians have scored eight million runs.
It's like, okay, there's nothing we can do about that.
They are the gold standard. But Hey, Sophie Divine managed
to get herself a ton one hundred and eleven she
(14:16):
clocked up in Nelson Mealy Kerr managed to get her
one hundredth One Day International wicket, so it's not all lost.
And I suppose when you take on the best team
in the world, I suppose India around them first up,
it gives you a real idea about we stand. So
it's not entirely negative.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
No, I agree, I agree, And you're right.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
There were some in the phrase that's become quite trendy,
some green shoots there of promise and look, I mean, man,
how long Sophie Devine means scoring runs for us and
again continues to be the case in this her swan song.
But yeah, Australia, look, I don't mind getting them out
of the way first, you know. And now as you
say we've just got to get our heads down, say, well,
(14:57):
the White fans have to get their heads down. And
just when the other matches, you've got to finish in
the top four. It's one of those everybody plays everybody
around robin situations. You make the top four and you're
into the semi final. So it's so clear, that's so
clean I love that format that works perfectly.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
And what is it with us? Sports cast is always
saying we woman men a team that we've got nothing
to do with. It's a strange habit that we all
fall into. But at least you correct yourself and I
try and do that thing as well. They are not we,
they are team representing us.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
They are indeed Ashley Gardener with one hundred and fifteen
eighty three balls stuff for Australia. You're right there are
some there are some superstars in that team. I mean
that's even before you look at Alyssa Heay, Elisee Perry,
Beth Mooney. These players have been around for so long, Dar,
so it's not a surprise that they started well in
this tournament. They are, as you correctly pointed out, the
(15:47):
gold standard.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
So I'm not going to get too upset by it.
What I am upset by is the fact that it's
all through the middle of the night and I can't
watch it in time. Mattsticks Islands, you know it works.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
It is a bit like that, but you know, we
sacrifice sleep at times like this to make sure we're
up and about and covering off stuff that needs to
be covered off. Hey, quick word on Steve corickt Do
you catch this news? He's been named coach of the
A League's Team of the Decade twenty fifteen to twenty
twenty five. This is pretty cool feather in his cap,
isn't it now?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Well, I'm hoping you can expand on that. You obviously
know a great deal about football. I'm presuming a lot
of this comes from his time at Sydney, which is
why Auckland decided, well, let's go over there and stick
him in a hasse and sack and drag him over
to Auckland. Steve can do the same trick. But this
is a decade of excellence, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Absolutely for Steve Corriker. And the irony of it all
does is that he was sacked by Sydney FC. Let's
not forget that after all the success he brought to
the club. You know, he also was part of the
of the A League Team of the Decade from five
to twenty fifteen, so the first decade as a player
of course, then he transitioned across to coaching. Brought a
lot of success to Sydney FC. But they've got a
(16:57):
bit restless when that success dried up somewhat. He was sacked,
wasn't out of a job for long. I think Auckland
FC is the little cherry on top here and really,
I mean there have been some good coaches in the
last ten years, but I think he was a fairly
I think that's a fairly obvious choice as as coach
of the last decade across in the FC mainly but
cross Aukland FC two.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
So player then coach. What's the next step? What can
he get top ten on that? What's the next decade?
How does that work?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
The only other category in these things is referee of
the decade. So and if you know Steve Coricker, and
I think you do, I don't think he'll be transitioning
across to the referee ranks anytime soon. I think he'll
just stay as a coach and start and just keep
yelling at those referees.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
It's probably paying fifty bucks of the TB might be
worth fifty cents on it, you never know.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Right, Yeah, congrats to the man they call bimb Steve
Coricker Coach of the decade and the A League. And
this was voted for incidentally by by PFA members, so
you know, you know fellow players, fellow coaches, those involved
in the game, not a fan vote, which can often
be a bit skewed if somebody just gets on and
clicks a button a thousand million times. This was actually
(18:04):
chosen by those who are in the know, So congratulations
to Steve Coricker. This has latest on just a couple
of weeks until the new A League season starts.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
And that is indeed that, and on that, I'm just
climbing in on you. You didn't let me talk enough. Okay, fine,
that's it for them. I'm so rude, Piney, close it off.

in doing this if no one's listening. You know we
need the ears. We need all the ears we can
possibly get.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
To be honest with the other, Darce, I'd still talk
sport with you for twenty minutes each day even if
nobody was listening.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
We just hope that they are.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
