D'Arcy Waldegrave: Sportstalk host on the Black Caps beating out England in Southee's final match

A triumph to finish the test cricket year for New Zealand.

They have won the third and final match against England by 423 runs in Hamilton, but lost the series 2-1.

That margin equals the country’s largest triumph by runs set against Sri Lanka at Christchurch in 2018 and marked an appropriate farewell to Tim Southee after a 16-year, 107-test career.

Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explains further.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Darcy Watergove, sports talk host seven o'clock to night on
News Talks, it'd be Darcy, Good afternoon.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Good afternoon. Still trying to reel in a cricketer for
the program because we want to reflect that. Of course,
the Test season, even though it should be going on
and on and on, it's not. It's finished and we're
still brought seventeen days out from the end of the year.
So be it. But victory today for the Black casts
for James O'Connor's going to join us later on the piece.
It's the form Australian's National who's going to pay first

(00:24):
five for the crusaders?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Just to think out right now, which is what he wanted,
which is what he told us all he wanted.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well, it's good, that's Australian swagger. Yeah, and he wants
to have a crack and he probably should because the
two young guys and they're may be not quite up
to speed, but having someone like him running around after
them that should provide the acceleration they need in their development.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
So good day in Hamilton today, Yeah, Well New Zealand
won by four hundred and twenty three runs and they
did that.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Look well with him before the end of the fourth day,
so that was convincing. If you're being mean about it,
could say that England already had both feet on the
plane after winning a series two nil. They certainly didn't care.
And you look, they got one hundred and forty three
in their roll for two thirty four in the second.
But maybe it wasn't a case of them not caring,
more of the fact that New Zealand very much did care.

(01:17):
They wanted to finish this season with an exclamation mark,
and they wanted to send Tim Souvie off with a
victory so he could cradle that to the end. And
they did this the home ground, everybody there, the Tim
Southy end and so on and so forth. So I
think maybe England weren't one hundred percent in it, bit
New Zealand were more than one hundred percent in it
if you can do that, and they got a great

(01:39):
they got a great victory. So that's the that's the
end of the line for the Tim Soudy. He got
himself for a four for nice way to finish, didn't
quite get the one hundred and six as he was
after missed that by.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
A coupley and I had a nice send off all
the same.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, I think he'd betted with that.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Hey, Nick, Curios and Novak Djokovic teaming up. What's going
on here?

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well, they're going to play doubles in Brisbane. They are
completed twenty twenty twenty two. I think it was wimbled
and final when Curios lost that in four sets to
Novak Djokovic. They've been enemies before, but the decide of
their mates now, and if you're being cruel about it,
could say possibly two of the most dislike men in
global dennis coming together. It'd sell out twenty four. Everyone

(02:22):
want to go and see that. I'll be really interested
to see if either of them trigger each other on
the doubles court. You know one of them you say no, no,
you say you said you have a fight.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
It's my ball.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Great for Brisbane when.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
When early next year, Oh brilliant, that'd be great.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Play what kind of same time as the ASP Classic plays,
So some people go to Brisbane and play that other
people who are much cooler than that comes from your
cell and the chill out fantastic.
