The air, high in the air.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Is anyone underneath it? There is and it's taken, Hannah
sure Taxi good catch down there and finally diving.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
To us left sports Hittal this evening Andrew Gordy sports commentator,
and Levin a good sports journalist and commentator.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Hello, are you too there?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
You've done good eight good to speak Levina.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
How are you feeling about the cricket? Well, yeah, a
little tentative.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I've been a bit peeved actually because I celebrated the
Black Cup so well over India. It was like such
a long time coming, This was so fabulous and they're
missing all those catches and.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Losing by so much. I was like, what are they doing?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I want to celebrate you, be happy for you. So
at the moment, I'm feeling quite confident about the cricket,
feeling good and they're redeeming themselves, showing atonement to the
fans that love them so much and adored them after
defeats against India.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Is it good?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Is cricket just one of those games where it is
inconsistently you could be great and then you're just hit
the next week.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Absolutely absolutely, It's why I love and hate the game
in fact. So no, you're absolutely right. I'm actually I'm
feeling uneasy about the Black Cats at the moment. I'm
pleased that they started taking catches here in this test
and the second test. I'm always reluctant to criticize people
who can't catch because I had hands like a salmon
(01:41):
when I was playing the game. I'm surprised even called
COVID that sort of thing. But yeah, they weren't great
in the field down in christ. It's so great seeing
improvement this time around. But look, even allowing England to
get two hundred and eighty runs, I felt like we
could have got them out for cheaper and it feels
like this top order is hanging on. And by the way,
did I hear you say sexy Russian before?
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yep? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
How do you get away with that woman?
Speaker 5 (02:07):
They're all different? Come on this show. Sorry, sorry, Gordy.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
This show is all about honesty and let's be honest
about it. Girls can say things that boys cannot say,
and so I say, I absolutely abuse it is that
okay with you?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
And so you should and so you should know absolutely fine.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
You want a man who's got glorious hair and that
and that's just and we're only talking about the absolute
top of his head, like when you start working your
way down the body.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
It's just fantastic, the whole way down. Listen, Levina. I
don't want to make you feel uncomfortable about that. You
probably do not. You're probably sitting there going it's not okay, Heather.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Now, I think it's got a Tahua mark away lovely
hair as well gorgeous.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I mean, jeez, what I would do for those curls. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
How do you feel about one of the things that's
come up is that that there's been these fines handed
out and docking of points for the fact that they've
been bowling slow overs right?
Speaker 5 (02:58):
How do you feel about that?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Actually? Is that really we want the game to go?
It's interesting, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I think there's a lot of people that I love cricket,
and my favorite form of cricket is test cricket. I really,
really love the five day version of the match and
I appreciate it, but lots of cricket fans that are
coming new to the game are turning to the other
versions of the sport, and I guess if you want
to keep the appreciation for the sport, you need to
make sure that there is a time limit. And I
(03:26):
appreciate the fact that you know you need to actually
get these overs done and dusted. The thing that I
found ironic is that it was David Boone, who's the
head referee, that decided to say that those penalties would
be implemented. And I've watched a lot of cricket with
mister Boone over the years, and the fastest thing he
ever did was head to the pavilion.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
So I thought that was.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Quite ironic in that terms. But I'm okay with it.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
You've got to Bolo's ninety eighty five ninety overs and
it has to be within a time limit. But I
know that I know the game is still entertaining Andrew,
it really is, but to keep the fans, especially new
fans that are appreciated adding test cricket, it has to
be done through a certain period of time.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Good I think there's a really sensible approach here. I
think the sensible answer here is that slow over eight
fines and penalties are only enforced if the matching's in
a draw after five days. But we had a result
in this match. There were still ten hours of play
to go. So I totally understand why this rule is
in place and why it should be enforced, And I
totally echo your sentiments about speeding up the game and
making it a great product for people to watch. But
(04:25):
if there's a result, the whole reason for it is
null and boards. So I'd like to see those penalties
and fines only inflicted if we go five days and
it's a draw.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Yep, as I think that's basically the Ben Stokes argument.
Seems like a fair argument.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Of the Friday Sports Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's international realty,
elevate the marketing of your home.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I'm the sports title we got Andrew Gordy and Levina
Good Gordy. Listen France canning the ABS game in the
US saying everything has to be played in then zet
Is it a fair call? Ah?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Look, is it a fair call? I can understand they
clearly didn't want to do it, and so they've played
the absolute trump card, which is player welfare. No one
can ever argue with player welfare, and neither they probably should,
but I think it's a convenient excuse because they simply
don't want to do it. And look, the triple aspect
is kind of fear they are going over multiple time zones.
(05:18):
But I personally like this idea, and not least because
France have made it clear that they want to send
a second string team out here. And if you're going
to treat it as some kind of exhibition, well we
may as well make an exhibition out of it and
play it over in the US. But let me tell you,
international rugby is going to get pretty damn boring if
every touring team decides to send a B team every
time they travel somewhere. So that needs to change.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I'm so dark on the French Levina that I just
every time I say, I just want to pose.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Me too, mate.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
And the only reason they're saying no, Heather, is because
we actually want to do it, you know. Like Andrew mentioned,
they've already announced that they're going to send an underrated
average team next year. And I mean, I'm not even
really keen on the Abs playing in the States, but
it just front straits me that the French get to
call the shots. That's what annoys me more than anything.
And the only reason they're saying no, nothing to do
(06:06):
with player welfare. I appreciate them calling the card. It's
because the All Blacks want to do it. So on
the bright side, on the right side, we do get
another game here in New Zealand, which is kind of cool,
but it's just because we want to do it now frustrating.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Yeah, what's up with it?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Why are they like this because we want to do
it and they've decided that it wasn't their idea in
the first place, and they're meant to be touring New Zealand.
It's got nothing to do with player welfare because they're
sending an underrated team that it's because it was decided
by New Zealand Rugby and they're like, hey, vive la France,
we are French. We will be maybe arrogant aloud to
say that we can talk about hair, we can talk
(06:39):
about the French being oarage.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Come on, now, you've been to France the other day,
living you know what they're like. That's horrible.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah, very recently, Yeah, very very recently, and riding on
the wave of a very successful Olympic Games which they hosted,
and you just have to duck over to England and
they will tell you we'll host it better next time,
like we did in twenty twelve.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
He's worse. There's nothing worse than going to France sometimes.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Okay, now, Gordy, Gordy, I mean that the wine is
great and the food is great, but you do have
to feel you have to deal with the French people
and they've got such an attitude problem. Okay, sevu Reese.
How do we feel about the second discharge without conviction.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I can understand why people might be upset about this
and feel like he doesn't deserve it, But even reading
and hearing what the judge had to say about this,
I tend to agree it would I think outweigh the
offense that there was cause or that he committed obviously so,
and it would have a serious impact on his ability
(07:39):
to go overseas at is still a relatively young age
and further his career, and let's face it, I think
the writing's probably on the wall for sever rous anyway,
in terms of his career with the all Blacks, and
here in New Zealand, it is probably time for him
to make hay while the sun shines, so to speak,
and head overseas to further his career. And this would
(07:59):
have a serious impact on that. And that were to
be the case, then absolutely that the punishment wouldn't hurt
the crime.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
And much sort of feel Levina like, now that he's
gone public and said Okay, I've got a booze problem,
it kind of is like, now we expect you to
behave yourself.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
If this happens again, you probably actually need a conviction, would.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
You agree, Yeah, it's not the first time it's happened, though, No,
I think you had a conviction in twenty eighteen as well.
And yeah, calling the cards of the alcohol issues, and yeah,
I agree with Andrew, it's not the sort of you know,
you've got kids, both male and female that want to
play rugby and have idols and look up to players.
I don't want my kids looking up to him at
the moment. So yeah, go overseas and some money, earn
your coin, and face the consequences of your actions.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
And now all of us know exactly who it is.
Yeah too, right, guys, listen, Merry Christmas to the pair
of you.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
It's very early, but it's the last time I'm going
to be talking to you on the show. So go
and have yourself on a lovely summer break and enjoy
all of the good cricket and stuff. And you know
he's hoping we win. Andrew Gordy and Levina Good our
