Speaker 1 (00:00):
Guy have eld as with us along with Andrew Sevil Fellers.
Good morning to you. Good say Andrew. Let's play a
small game here. This was the Andrew Sevil Breakfast Show,
not the Mike Hosking Breakfast Show.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
You probably should be. It will be one day.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Your top sports story to start with is what is it?
If one? Because it's current? Is it the Black Caps
because it's never happened before. Is it a Rugby Test
because most people like rugby? Is it Auckland FC because
they're one out of the box and wild was talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
What is it now? I think it's a black Caps
hands down? Yeah, yeah, never never been done before by
any cricket team. That's my understanding and history for a
series of three matches plus, no one picked this Black
Cap side to pick to win rather one Test and
if people say they did their lying, no one picked
(00:51):
them to win a match at all in this series
in India, given their form leading into the Test series
and to have players and out different players in each
game stand out like a Rourke and Saudian game one, Ravendra,
you had Santna in game two, then ajas Paatel getting
a ten wicket bag in this latest Test match. Quite extraordinary.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yep, that is true. And guy, you to be fair
to you wrote them off before you they went and
fair enough to why wouldn't you? But what is it
about what's happened here? Do you think? Is India a
bit ordinary? Taking nothing away from the black Caps? But
you know, how do you explain it?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
They've still got the likes of Kohli Shama Jadeja, who
are shouldn gil They've still got a very very good
cricket team. Re chapaint they're an excellent team. They're playing
in India, whereas sav has just said, they don't generally
lose there. This is just a black Caps team that
I don't quite know how they've done. It says right
(01:52):
that there have been I think previously or in the
last couple of years anyway, they probably relied on maybe
one or two players. This time they've had six, maybe
seven players who have stood up at different times in
the series and that's been key to this team. They
have beaten a very very good Indian team and this
would have to be right up there in New zealand
sports greatest achievements. It can't be understated how much of
(02:15):
achievements it is they haven't just sweept the series, They've
beaten India convincingly every time. Results.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It's hard to work out, Mike, it's hard to work
out what's what's happened. Well, clearly what's happened is the
black Cats have played better than India.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
But yeah, but we're not We're not the site. We're
not that good as what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Without I know, and if you look at the teams
on paper, India much much better team. And also the
fact that Satana in Tests two and Patal and Test
three they were spinning. They spun India out. Then you'd
assume that India would spin New Zealand out for even less,
but that didn't happen. I think what's impressed me, apart
(02:53):
from the bowling, is that a few of the Batsmen
from time to time have really applied themselves in very
very trying to conditions against a very good bowling attack,
and they've stuck to their guns and they've and they've
scored not huge amounts of runs, but enough to get
this to get this team through, and the difference might
you know, you and I grew up watching Sir Richard Handley.
You try on the Bourne and ripped through teams and
(03:14):
that New Zealand side will win on the back of
Sir Richard Hanley. But this team, this has been a
real team team effort.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
And they and they don't have Kane Williamson's which is
probably the most remarkable thing about it all. And they've
just changed their captain to Tom Latham and he's just
got to threat the series in India Test Captains.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Mystery. Mystery, Mystery story of the weekend in terms of sport,
and I'm sure you've got it on TV one tonight,
Andrew is why guy have Velt who works for the
tab it is in Melbourne on the first Monday followed
by the first Tuesday of November and yet claiming to
be on holiday?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Is this for tax purposes?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
What's going on here in the world?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Go on holiday? You just happened to go to the
place with one of the biggest horse races in the
world while being employed by a group of people.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
This trip was booked before I changed jobs, I'll have
you know. And my wife was the one who said
that she wanted to go to the Melbourne Cup, so
I booked us a trip to the Melbourne Cup. A
couple of others have come with us, and I'm currently
looking out the window of our apartment actually over over
Albert Park, the Melbourne scene of the Nice Yeah and
the Breakers play here tonight, so he might go check
(04:32):
that out as well.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I want to break the Breakers also. That'd be grateful
a lot of the table with a New York team.
It seems as though Guy just seems to go from
job to job.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
On the holiday to holiday.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah, I'm Andrew. I don't know if you remember, but
do you remember when Guy was at the Olympic Games
and he went just after the Olympic Games morning a
massive holiday. Many people called it like a European adventure
like from the Eighth.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Because he basically got to the closing ceremony rang working
ship see you later. It was incredibly.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Excuse me, I'll correct a few things here. I came
straight home after the Olympic Games. You correct there. And
Andrew is right. I may have done four or five
days where I changed jobs after the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So it was a little bit of a nice Do
you like a bit of work from home as well?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Do you? Guy?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Do you do most of the meetings from your office?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Jeez, pray letst I appear for this show. Everybody.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I do worry sad about some of the coverage of
the All Blacks, you know, like, yes we got home,
but we got and go oh and if onny England
hadn't missed the drop goal and stuff like, but they
do and that's sport and that's why it makes it exciting.
That's why I'm looking forward to Ireland because that's going
to be. If this wasn't a contest, the next one
will be.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I'd imagine there'd be a fair amount of drama and
that too, but great game to what Yeah, well in
the end, a great drama. Look, you've got to give
credit to the All Blacks for hanging in there, grittin determination.
You've got to give credit to England's which I thought
was outstanding through the game, but too worried for the
All Blacks. Still a lot of air, is still a
lot of penalties. Still, the kicking game, I think they'd
(06:09):
probably kicked a little bit too much and the kicking
game was off in certain areas. I know you've got
to try different things against that English defense, but I think, yes,
the All Blacks lucky to get out of jail on
this one. But in sport, you take that right.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I couldn't agree with Himore.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Isn't that what makes and I'm not saying they're a
great team, but isn't that what makes teams great? They're
able to win games like that in.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Situation you can still make a lot of mistakes and win.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Exactly for me is the line out. The line out
was dreadful and they've got to sort that out. And
the way they.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Consisted was throwing long down the back. I don't know
why you would do that.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Well, that things the only option they have because they
can't win it normally.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
And when for a change the bench came on and
made a real big impact. That scrum penalty is crucial
in the end of the game.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
But then to find a way to clone Wallace atitia,
I think the guy's an absolute shure.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
He's fantastic. Debbie Rogerson, Yes, guy, you know Debbie? Yes,
go on, yeah, got her on the program tomorrow. What's
what's my what's my hot? First question?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Well, Graham trained efficients to the two thousand and seven
Melbourne Cups, so maybe having another runner and the covers.
Actually I just look out the window and there's a
couple of hot air balloons flying past what a city?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
This is what a sports report?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yes, you know. The first question to Debbie Mike from
Guy would be, Hey, I'm over here on holiday. Can
I get some free tickets under the flesh grand fan?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Exactly? It's not going well for you.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Well, I actually I actually think that Sharp and Smart
is a chance of charts of upsetting him in this race.
I think he's at seventy one to one or something.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I say to her, all right, I just want to
go into the interview like knowledge by I go, I
reckon Debbie, sharp and Smart, and my friend Guy tells
me that sharp and Smart's a pretty reasonable chance. Is
she going to go? Who's Guy? Because I don't want
to embarrass myself.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, she probably will, Okay, well maybe, but I genuinely
think he is, like he's as good as those horses
that are that are shorter at the market. And if
he can race up to his potential, which he probably
hasn't quite done for a while in terms of his
absolute best. But if he can do that and you
can win the Melbourne Cup.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Did you watch the football sem?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I watched chunks of it. Yeah, I thought it was
I thought it was great. I thought the atmosphere was good.
I was expecting a bit more closer to a sellout.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, I was disappointed. I raised that on Friday. If
something's not right about football in this country if you
can't if you get a local derby and that in
all the fizz that comes with a professional era with
you know, first time it's ever happened in the camp.
If you can't sell thirty thousand tickets, there's something wrong anyway.
Awkland look of Vasley superior team.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, very They've got some good players in there. They're
obviously well coached, well managed. I think the game does
the The next local derby's only in a few weeks
in Auckland that will sell out, Yeah, I hope so
smaller venue but and bigger population obviously, But that that
was a lot of interest in Orkland and this football team.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Did you see the f one this morning?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I have seen little bits of achieve for staffing.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Wow, that is the I think that's probably the drive
of I was going to say the year, certainly the year,
if not the decade, to come from where he was
at seventeenth in those conditions and do what he did
New Engine, to be fair and the henters people do.
But you take nothing away from him, of course, of
course because day yeah, he's home free and the drivers,
(09:35):
but the constructors is the problem. Tell me there were
four red bull drivers out there today. One of them
didn't score a point. Who's the one who didn't score
a point?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Exactly? Guy, quick update on Melbourne?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
What about it?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Mood vibe, homeless people, left leaning, people in doc Martins
with pink hair, what's the.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I haven't seen any homeless we actually, I mean to say,
I did see Brittan McCullum on the flight over and
we didn't talk about the cricket, and he was absolutely
blown away by what the black CAP's doing. So I thought,
I just.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Did he come back and see you in economy or
did he come up to see you in business?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
What happened there? I don't think there was exit them.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Did you ask for another free upgrade? You realize there's
a big scandal in Australia about free upgrades. Did you
ask for a free upgrade? Or did they say something
that you're so small they won't even notice you in business?
Have that seat there?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, something like that. Exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Dear Idea, listen, are you going to the Cup tomorrow
yourself and what are you wearing?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yes, I am. I've got my navy suits. Going to
go out and buy a new tie, I think, and
finish the ensemble.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Okay, is that still a wedding suit?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
No, until go back?
Speaker 3 (10:59):

low suit of my? Was that? By now?
