Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jason by and Andrewsvill. Good morning Fellers, Good morning Mike.
The cricket Jason always had to my mind, and I'm
not a cricket fan generally, but it had that whole everyone,
all the cricket nerds around here, they're all the No
one was backing them. It was going to be if
we had won this morning, it would have been, oh
my god, have a national holiday. Just had that vibe
about it. Is that fair or not?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:20):
I think India a favorite going in and as soon
as we lost Matt Henry, that was a huge dent
in our chances. India haven't had to travel, of course
during this whole tournament. This is well documented. And look
without Matt Henry and with their spinners just squeezing us,
couldn't build partnerships. Rutchan, Ravendra came, Williamson of course, and

(00:41):
the semi were so dominant, couldn't get runs last night.
It never felt like we were going to win the game,
you know. Having said that, fifty other cricket's a funny thing.
I think India deserved to win it again.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Though we falled just short in the final.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Do you see any of it, Andrew?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Bits of it? Might.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
I thought there was an encouraging start by Revenger and Cohen.
He's had an outstanding tournament obviously, what an exciting talent
to watch for many years to come, hopefully. But once
those Indian spinners came on, you did think that they
hadn't scored enough and and India were going to romp home.
I think it was reasonably tight in the end, but
when Indians were comfortable.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
I was watching it, but I got here at three
and I turned it on and I just had that
it had that this isn't going our way kind of
vibe about it.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
And look, I think international officials are probably going to
be happier that India's won at the New Zealand, if
you get my drift, They probably would rather have seen
an India Australia or India England final.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
But I think the New Zealand team did very well
to get there.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
They'll they'll do quite well out of it. Financially. The
players make as well, which is a bonus. But once
again the New Zealand team falls over in a final.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Do you either of you know? So I was talking
about heavily. So I'm watching the end of the Crusaders
game yesterday, a beautiful, beautiful day in Christus. Don't you
want to move to christ Church?

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Save?

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Shouldn't we go back.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
To christ Use me fantasic, I think we should.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Ah for goodness sake. Now, when you get a ball
on the heady you off automatically.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
And in the crowd at the squash that was huge.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Well, of course it was. I mean the Isaac Theater.
I know that stages have been you know, courts have
been on stages before, but you for anyone who hasn't
been to the Isaac Theater, it's one of the most
beautiful theaters of not the most beautiful theater in the country.
And you wack a stage on the a court on
the stage. I mean you're in for a win, there,
aren't you. I mean it's just fantastic.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
And I think I saw Skippy the Bush Kangaroo in
nineteen seventy eight.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Was that the last show you're in? When you played Skippy?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
You wouldn't be allowed to drag a live kangaroo into.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Was there a lot of competition to play Skippy?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
No, it was a live kangaroo.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Wow, straight in from straight in from high I have
little Andrew wanted to be skippy.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I have a feeling it might have been just the
large wallaby. They dragg him from the North Beach, so.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's probably it was probably from what's it called, not
meadow Bank, willow Bank. They would have got it from
willow Bank. Pull it in a couple of.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
About what happened to David Heavilli. Are you it's just
what you're trying?

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, No, So Glenn's trying to argue with me that
if you kick a ball at the moment you get
touched in the head in any way, shape or form,
apparently you're off these days. Is that true?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
No? Not no, not necessarily. I think it was.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
It was kicked with quite a lot of force, obviously
not deliberately. No, But I think he did go off
for a head chick.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
He didn't, he did.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Will Jordan was someone to come back on. Yeh.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
I just wonder how what what what the rules around
that are? And if you feel he didn't look like
he felt well it was got had that brain rattle
kind of I can't focus straight type thing.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
If you'd shaken it off and was continuing to run
around anyway.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
But what a great win they, I mean, what what
a quality winning a quality day, didn't it. Exactly?

Speaker 4 (03:54):
They tacked from everywhere that Will Jordan was on fire
as well.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
The FOURD pack did very very well and I thought
that that was.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
A bit of a bit of a statement performance mic
from the Crusader exactly.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
And what I'm pleased about, Jason, is Moana Pacifica at
last have got to win. Some of the Australian sides
are winning. So what you've got as a competition, which
is I think what we all want, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Luck the weekend, I think the Crusaders game was probably
the outlier of it all. Wana Pacifica beating my Hurricanes.
I'm glad you've brought that up on Saturday, the Blues
going down to the Brumbies on Friday night, the Chiefs
previously unbeaten going to Lovetoka and losing to the drawer
and that.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Was miserable though, wasn't it. I Mean you go all
the way there and you're six feet under in water,
and I mean it's like.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, in the first half, yes, but in the second
half when dried up. Look, you've got to give it
to the Fijian drewery.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Doesn't try up in one half Jason, Really, I don't
you think.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
It was a wonderful spectacle though, Mike, did you see
the second half, the crowd, the way that they embraced
the game up there? I reckon, you've got to take
I know this all. You know, this war obviously not
work meteorogically, but you've got to take super Round up
to Fiji, get them all up there in the rain.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, yeah, I think that's a dumb idea. And here go, Jason.
Mike was in Latoka at the game. Chief sponsor was
a fabulous game, drew a second half full credit.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
So there you go, good on, good on your checks.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Man's men with money behind you. Have you seen Drive
to Survive SEV.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
I've watched the first couple of maybe two or three.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
I'm enjoying it, thoroughly, enjoying it thoroughly.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
I started watching it, I thought, all, there's probably a
little bit too much race visional race coverage, But then
the balance seemed to They seem to strike the balance
right as the first couple of episodes went on. So no,
I thought, I thought last season started to drag a
little bit, but this one's much better. Well, there's obviously
more controversy and this one isn't it. And there's a

(05:52):
lot more winners, a lot more different winners of the races.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yes there are. I follow a guy called Kim Illman
who's worth following. He's a f one photographer and he
does vlogs on flights and stuff like that. Anyway, he
watched the whole lot and put up a video on it.
He reckons the best episode is the one where Carlos
signs signs for Williams and that story in the way
they set it up as very well told. But I
only saw one episode. I haven't seen it at all.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah, I've seen that one.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
They do go right inside Mercedes who who want to
have a crack at Max signing them?

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yep? And then they do go right inside.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Does it tell you how close they got to Max?

Speaker 2 (06:27):
I saw in a roundabout way, in a roundabout way.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, Okay, because the opening episode, which is the only
one I've seen, that they glossed over Lewis going to
Ferrari because they obviously had no footage, and they focused
very heavily on Christian and his predilection for texting women
back at the office, which and you saw. I can't
ever work out. So Jerry halliwell, when she turns up
at the first race last season holding his hand. Yes,

(06:51):
to look at her face now she looks pretty much
like she wants to kill him, doesn't she? Yeah, and
she's there under some sort of duress and.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Also looking at her face now, it looks slightly different
to when she was in the Spice girls.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
If you get my drivet, yes it does.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Was the football any good? Jason?

Speaker 2 (07:11):
That won all?

Speaker 1 (07:11):
I mean two drawers in a row? What's that about?

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh? Yeah, I mean it was.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
I thought it was an okay game. It wasn't great
Aukland f C. There are eight unbeats and now they'll
store in the league. I think, Mike no issue with that?
Can I just mention Sam ruth I mentioned his name
to you a couple of weeks ago and told you
to remember the name. This is the young fifteen year
old who yesterday Track and Fields in Track and Field
Champs dead heated with Sam Tanner.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Don't you hate it when that happened a final? I
hate a dead heat. It can go again.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
They make them run it again the run off.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
So he's he's your man?

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Is he is that a name?

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Is that a name for the future.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well, well, I mean when you're running fIF running fifteen
hundred meters as quickly as he is fifteen?

Speaker 1 (07:55):
But what time did he do it? And I used
to do it in the high three forties, three forty seven,
forty eight something that well.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Three four are they were? They both in a dead heat.
Obviously ran it in three forty four point one.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Oh they're a bit quicker than I was, but not much,
A little bit, not much.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
You could it in three forty seven, three forty eight.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Could have been four forty seven eight, certainly numbers.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
I remember, did you catch a taxi halfway round? Hello?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Actually, I'll tell you what about Paul Cole. I'm glad
you raised it. It because Shabbage, who he beat, used
to beat him. And this is the rise and rise
of Paul Cole. Of course he seems to beat Shabagi
on a regular basis now. So something's happened psychologically, hasn't it.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Although he was Cole was world number one for a while,
and then then he was but.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
There was that period where he got to number one
where it used to be the Egyptians used to get
to him. And now something switched and he now seems
to be able to overcome them.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
You know, the way he continues to play is this extraordinary.
Levels must be extreme.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
You must look at his thighs, Andrew, and just just
have so much. Have you seen his thighs?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Oh, not really have a look. Have a look seen
him the way he moves around that court, and the
way he keeps going and going and going. Yeah, he's
an incredible athlete.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
You'd be a thigh man, Jason. You must have noticed
his thighs are incredible thighs.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
I've said, his thighs.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah, you know he's got thighs reminiscent of a bush kangaroo.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
That that man.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah, and the way he flees himself around. Can't wait
to see him in the Olympics in twenty twenty eight
when squash gets us go there.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Tell you what we're going to be talking about in
this time next week? What are we going to talk
about this time next week?

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Andrew? If one William Lawson cannot wait.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Cannot wait. If you want an article, look up in
the Morning Herald in Sydney. This morning's an article on
doing and how he made their pact that the Argentinians
are throwing in half a million dollars a race, and
Colo Pinto's got all the dough behind him, and poor
old Jack Doan's going in with no money and they're thinking,
you know, if he doesn't win, he's out gone. That's

(09:56):
that's the f one for you. Unfortunately, that's that.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
It's pret isn't it.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
I still find it staggering, Mike, and and a lot
of people will be thinking this this week. Here's this
young key week racing for red Bulls to Formula one.
It still just doesn't compute. Well, it does, but you know, it's.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
It's the real deal. It's the real deal. It's as
big as it gets. It's global, it's like it's it's
it's all on, it's all where. It's a super exciting Hey,
