Speaker 1 (00:00):
Join him in ours, Darcy, Darcy, good afternoon.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Are good after baboon?

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Right now, Jenny Wiley has resigned as the Boston Netball
New Zealand. And we're not gonna hear from Genny whiley
and we're not gonna hear apparently either.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Don't sound so surprised, Ryan, have you not been following
this story for the last four months.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
But it doesn't make it any less annoying.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Precisely. No, we're not to say anything. Oh, we're tied
up with this, and we're tied up with that. We're
not going to do that. And there's employment law this
and is this that that, and that that you're running
one of the biggest games in New Zealand, say something,
suck it up, say anything.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Front up please now please.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
We've had talk back on this subject of the last
three months. I've never had the phone jam up so
much about netball. So what that says is there is
huge engagement that sport out there. People really care and
it's not about ars's media swine. It's about the people
that play the game, the other ones that's you representing.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Talk now Final black Caps West Indies is underway right now.
How are we looking how's she going? Well?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I don't know, because you've turned it onto the ashes.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Oh, I have got the ashes on.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Oh my, my, my my. Last time we'd scored ten
bazillion runs and we're doing particularly well. Look, Tom Latham
is scoring runs. Devin Conway's picked up a ton two
hundred and sixteen for the loss of none, and so
Latham's eighty seven unlucky number for Australian batsman. It's thirteen

(01:28):
away from the ton. They don't like that one and
one hundred and twenty for Devin Conway, which is just
fantastic news. Tonight are on the on the issue around
who's next. I expect this is a case of netball dominoes.
Someone else will go like at the Bay of Plenty
of Magic, team relationship manager Gary Dawson joins us, I've

(01:48):
had him on the show before. Talking about what has
to happen is pretty because the run it's about what
has to happen.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
They're the ones that wanted heard or someone to go
in the first place.

Speaker 2 (01:56):

talk to us about that. I've got I've got do
you know? Siri and Taylor not person, but you know
the name Virtual I and Virtual I of the company
there basically started digital coverage of sport. Remember the America's
Cup when they actually you could follow, yes, the boats
and how big that became, and they've moved on into

(02:19):
baseball now they do cricket. I'm getting him on to
talk about the snicko and what happened last night in
