Eighteen pass four Darcy water Grave Sports Talk Hoosters, It's
Mellow Dars and.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
The latest from the cricket headed a plus.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
The ellen is Sri Lanka is batting first because they
won the toss and they elected to bat.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Look at that. You want to do something after seven?

Speaker 1 (00:13):
That's all I know. I don't understand anything beyond there
is this a good decision from them?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well it's their decision and it's their home ground, so
they know. So they win the toss, they make the
cool plane. There is the best decision to make, otherwise
they wouldn't have done it.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Right, has gone started? I know, which is better than
the last that we try to play.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Something to do? But that wasn't the last lot's fault.
Well it kind of was, because they chose to go
to that swamp.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
That's opposed to swop you refer to being India.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
No, no, no, no, the the greater the ground, great
annoyer anymore. We can call it less annoyed, because that
was very annoyed. It that I'm very annoyed. I love it.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Okay, the calm Games, so as predicted yesterday, down to ten?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Right, who do you take?

Speaker 1 (01:00):
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Who do you take, well, what's sports, because they've got
four stadiums, so they've got an athletics.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Rugby stadium, come prepared for this.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
They've got a swimming venue, they've got indoor stadiums and
they've got a validrome.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Okay, they have got the validromes, so the cycling is safe.
They have got the Scott's Tone Stadium, so athletics and
rugby is safe because there's rugby field there.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, you think rugby would be premient because the sevens
is very good, a lot of people are involved in that,
and of course running around in circles and chucking things around,
I mean is safe. Yep, you'd think.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
So what is the sec C.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
What does that indoor venue do?

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I don't know. It's the Armadello Hub as well. So
maybe things like netball might safe here. I think so,
because it's quite a Commonwealth sport outside cricket that cricket
st cricket. I think cricket's gone. Cricket stuff lawn bowls.
Does that end up being indoor because a lot of
stall bowls in the New Zealand now is all played indoors,

(01:53):
so there's a chance that sticks around.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Hockey's gone there.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Badminton might stay indoors. Number the wrestling disciplines could stay
in there, with boxing and weightlifting stick around. Possibly, you've
got to look at what a for what doesn't cost
them anything, and the crowds will turn up to watch, right, squash?
Can they throw up one of those squash courts, you know,
like they do those last ones?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
You do get rid of table tennis?

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Well, no, I didn't say that, But.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
You do, though, don't you?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well, I don't know. Look, the thing is here.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Table tennis is a drinking sport, is not a real sport.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Oh really?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yes, you up to set some people saying that.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well, I mean, do you know a table tennis player?

Speaker 2 (02:35):
You know a table I know more beer pong players,
And I don't.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Think that's going to be.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Tis shooting things. I'm sure there's a range somewhere they
could use. Maybe they could go there. I think that
sports that mountain biking's gone trends well, road racing I
think should still be there because it's pretty set up.
Just grab a couple of road cones. I'm sure that
old Wayne Brown can lend us a couple doesn't like
them particularly, so maybe that maybe triathon might survive because

(03:02):
that can show off the stranger of glass.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
That's literally people running, yes.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
So right, and swimming and kind of swimming and dragging
themselves through sywage. Hope hopefully they've got a nice river
or a lakeness.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
You know what, why head and enduring power of attorney
over the commonwealth game. I would turn off the machine
right now. Yeah, I'd stop the stradey.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
I've said yesterday that it's a it's not flogging a
dead horse because it's not quite dead yet, but it's close.
And people are still standing over it with their cat
and nine tails giving it a flog, and there's a
van out the side of the gate for the glue
factor and they're waiting. Look, it's okay to say it's
the end. No one wants it anymore. And it costs

(03:47):
so much money to run, it really does. Oh they're
looking at spending like fifty cents to get this one
going on, and they say it generates a couple of million,
a couple of billion dollars for the economies. So my
and I've gone with us before and I'll stick with it.
Come on, moth right. This is an archaic concept that
was foisted upon everybody after the British decided to invade

(04:11):
everyone and steal.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
All their successful idea though what it was.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Initially everything peaks and everything collapses America of finding that out.
Now Britain have found that out, we will all die.
It's your event, Britain. So you pay for That's right,
you paid you host the UK.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Thank you, Darcy easy Peasy've sorted out, Darcy Wrap. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yes, yes, I've got a zero day big ones wow,
and I am now in the decade where if you
invite me out for something to do at night, I
do not do it because I've got something more important
to do wake up the next morning.
