Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Darcy's he was sport Darcy, good afternoon watching the cricket.
Who's winning? We are? I want to say we, I
mean the black Caps because I've got nothing to do
with in any way, shape or form. I managed to
score a reasonable amount of runs. The two new openers
rolled in and scored like very very fast. This is

(00:20):
unfortunately they kind of ran out of about the fifty
run mark, then it slowed right up and then they
put on a squirt toward the very end. So New
Zealand ended up scoring two hundred and ninety two, which
is pretty handy considering the slack metal that they had.
And Pakistan have started off with stagger. They are twenty

(00:40):
seven for three, but they have been smashed around. Duffy
and O'Rourke having a field out there. They're moving around
on a string pretty much, plenty of edges from Pakistan.
They're only coming up ten overs in and they're running
it less than three and over a couple of bats
and at the moment Zuan of Salmon are on four

(01:03):
and nine, so they're making pretty light work, although insane
that it's cricket. So a couple of good partnerships and
maybe New Zealand's tail or head drops a wee bit.
But the way they're running right now, what there is
two undred and sixty five needed off two hundred and
forty balls to keep that momentum up during the rest

(01:23):
of this inning, I'd suggest would be far too difficult.
And well, who are you doing on it tonight? What
are you talking about tonight? I'm not going anywhere near
the cricket. I will have someone on at the end
of the game. We're talking to them about that game. Man.
We're going to be talking to Debbie Sorenson. She's the
acting CEO of Amana Pussy Figure. Because Super Rugby. We've

(01:43):
spent so many years beating this thing with a stick
and kicking it while it's.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Down and the rules and no goods, and now watching
about halfway through it, maybe it's just time we turned
around and went, you know what, you guys have got
it right. This is a fantastic well but they did
change it.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
They did change it, didn't they. There's been a lot
of rule tweaks going on to the people, and this
is what the new commissioner has done. They've come out
and said, you know what, we actually don't know what
do you guys want, I've gone, well, actually we quite
like this. They've gone, all right, let's do something.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
About it, and let's keep it.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I know, yes, all right. We're celebrating super duper Rugby
on with Tonight after seven.
