Speaker 1 (00:00):
Darcy Watergrave sports talk hosters with me. Hello Darce, greetings
Heather now here. We were a week ago being mean
to Auckland the football club, and it turns out, actually, what.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Do you mean we were being mean? Who was being mean?
You were being mean? I was?

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I was like fair enough.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
You know they're amateurs and they've gone over there to
play the best football teams on the planners.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Now look at what they've done.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Well, it's an interesting book, nd, isn't it? First get
hammered by the Germans ten zip and then they end
by drawing with Bucker Juniors. I don't know if you've
read much of the press around. The Argentine press are.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Freaking out embarrassment.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I know, well, you just beaten in a game of football.
They would have rolled in and gone. They've already let
by sixteen goals in two games, so the gems were going,
AD's fine. The first score was an own goal, will
be fine? And then a trial a trainee teacher, No, no,

(01:05):
this is the blunder the young Yeah, and so that
means the one now up Bocca Juniors.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
So are you telling me that in a one to
one game Auckland scored both the goals Bocca didn't score
any how, embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Boker Juniors were eliminated from the FIFA Club World Championship
and I quote and the worst possible way and historic embarrassment.
They've been beaten by a team made up of amateurs.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Winston, who runs the sports department at The Herald, said
to me that this is the equivalent of the All
Whites and twenty ten.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, but the All Whites and twenty ten were playing
in a World Cup so slightly, you know, a big
boys World Cup. This is like a club World Cup,
not a big boys but it's still huge, huge for
their level, it's still huge. And this training teacher just
walking around going what on earth happens? It's great, it's
such a good result. I'm really pleased for the crew

(02:04):
there in Auckland City there.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Did you see the name of the trainee teacher, Christian Gray?
You know what that is that? You know what? You
know what that's a reference to? I mean that's obviously
his name, but you know who the other Christian Gray
is a no fifty Shades of Gray friend.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh really yeah, alright.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
You never read it? Never read it?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Is there a movie.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Don't read yes, don't read it. It's it's not great writing.
It's okay. So the Black Caps, yeah, are we going
to have an absolute stellar summer.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
We're going to have an amazing spring of cricket kind
of stops in summer this well, it starts off on
October with T twenty series against the Australians. It's going
to be really early in the piece, which is a
little scary, but that's okay. This is October, this is
down at the Bay. So that's good. Good to be

(02:58):
playing the Australians. Because the World Cup and Indian T
twenty World Cup in February March, so we've got many
many T twenty games jammed in there. And then the
Test series against the West Indies starts in December. Yes,
so that's good. But then come January February March, we
don't have any cricket.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
That's nothing ever white on your weekend or anything.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Well, what they've got and we've got England over for
a while as well late October. So what I'm interested
is what Spring's going to do. And you're what spring
generally does in New Zealand. It rains, it gets wet,
it rains on. So look, they're doing the best they
possibly can. Ground and White fans have got a big
program too. What interests me around this is that the

(03:40):
South Africans are coming in March after the T twenty
World Cup and playing a lot of T twenties. I
don't know what, okay, but we've got a three Test
series against the West Indians which is fantastic and Kyle
Jamison joined us tonight to talk about that stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Darcy, Thank you for that, Darcy wall Grave, Sports talk hosting.
