The Black Caps cricketers have been grouped with Afghanistan, South Africa, Canada and the UAE for the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8.

The marquee pool fixture will see India and Pakistan meet on February 15 in neutral Colombo. 

Sri Lanka will also host any play-off matches involving Pakistan, due to the latter's ongoing political tension with India.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Darcy water Grave sports talkhosters. That's hollow does Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:03):
I think number eight wire attitude kind of started shrinking
when the distance between us and the rest of the
world also shrank. We just didn't need to have it anymore.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Have you even had number eight wire in your hand?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
No? I had slightly lesser than number eight, not quite
that thick. So I needed to be light because I was.
I made a whole lot of paper monsters out of
a paper monster fold away book, right, and I made
them more with my daughter. What can I do with them?
And say, oh, I know, I can attach them to
the chandelier because that schandalier is ugly. So I got
some wire, and as a direct result, in my living room,

(00:39):
I've got twenty paper monsters.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
So let me just paint a picture for myself.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Here, you've got twenty pack monsters hanging from your chandelier,
and then you've also got jars on your window filled
with the little sushi fish.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah, and there's a huge, big floral arrangement on the
other chandelier, complete with birds all the way through it
peaking white.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Eccentric.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
You want to see the ferraris that I've got racing
across my living room as well. I'm up to about
twenty five now and they're running right across the wall,
right up over one door and out the other side.
It's the ADHD. I need a lot of color and
a lot of entertainment in my life. I can't do
bland me nuts.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Okay, you the pool for the t twenty how's it looking.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Well, we're opening the tournament at the black Caps on
February eighth against Afghanistan Shanai. Now this is a place
that takes a bit of turn and Afghanistan are quite
hand you at the turning delivery, so that could be challenging.
We also have South Africa in our pool too, so
got to kind of get through finishing the top couple
before we get into the knockout stages. So Afghanistan will

(01:37):
be a Threatned saying that if we've got a guy
like Jenning Phillips back again, who is brutal with the back,
but he's also got a magic hand when it comes
to spinning, and of course Mitchell Santna right up at
the top of the world. He's SODI. We're actually pretty
good in those conditions. And now this tournament being held
in into you again unless you're Pakistan, in which case

(01:57):
you're going to play all your games in Srilan because
you know, I don't know, there's something about something that's
happening and Fagistan and India doesn't do.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
You agree with myself and answer the producer ways and
even your produce A Corbyn? Is it Corbyn who agrees
with us that the Blues away jersey is hideous?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, but it had weird one anyway because he's a
Blues fan, right.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
It's hideous though.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Jerseys are jerseys, right does it really matter? They represent
your fandol?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
What is going on here? It's ugly to look at.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
And what is going on is that Super Rugby has
started turning their jerseys into the monstrosities that you see
on the NRL field, just full of stripes and patches
and colors and all of these like with the advertising, it's.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Just you want to see them in a Hessian sack.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Why can't they just pack one color? Why can't they
go with the no money?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Do you remember the Warriors from Breaking the Day under
Wayne scar that about thirty jerseys a day, But.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Then put all your sponsorship all over your blue jersey.
But it's blue and stripes and that it's just too much,
it's hideous.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I thought you saying that out here. Once I finished
my press up. Regime wanted a picture of me nude
from the shirt up. I thought maybe you'd want spray
painted uniforms on the players so you could ogle at
their rigs.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
I wouldn't say no, no, of course you wouldn't know. Okay,
