D'Arcy Waldegrave: Sportstalk host ahead of the Black Caps' clash against South Africa

Black Caps coach Gary Stead is adamant South Africa will be unfazed by a pointless trip to Dubai heading into tonight's Champions Trophy semifinal in Lahore.

South Africa flew to Dubai in case they played India in the semis but instead boarded a plane back to Lahore after the Black Caps lost to India to finish second in their group.

Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explains further.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
With sport Haydars.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Did he build his wall? I forgot No.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
I half built the war, well not even half, No,
just a couple of k's of the war really got
built good and the Mexicans paid nothing for it. Right now,
the black Caps are on the brink of making the
Champions Trophy final. This is a little war.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yeah, they've got the South Africans between them and a
final against India. India beat Australia last night by eleven runs.
I think it was give or take. So the reward
for beating South Africa this evening is to travel back
to the United Rememirates because the Indians won't get in
there Pakistan because you know, India Pakistan. So that's the

(00:38):
reward if they can get there. The perennial semifinal losers
in white ball cricket South Africa seven semifinals and various
white ball editions one victory out of seven. So either
you go their easy beats or the worm has to
turn eventually into my be against us. Don't know he's
hoping not three hundred and fifteenshes the would score for

(01:01):
an innings at Lahore, so there'll be runs of plenty
and The debate at the moment is with the returning
Darryl Mitchell who drops out, Does Young survive? Does Rechen
Revendra survive? Does Stephen Conway survive? So that will be
decided before they go in the park on. But outside

(01:22):
of that, I think we've got a pretty solid side, very.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Good now in the America's Cup. This is we knew
that they were going to have a conversation. Now we
know they're having a conversation about whether it comes back
to Auckland.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Really, I think when somebody says the economic benefit to
Barfalona was to I.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Don't believe it. People start going, yeah, I don't believe it.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
You don't believe it.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
No, I think it's nonsense. I think it's fact news.
Because we had in New Zealand, we do cost benefit
analyses of these things, and actually we found out that
MB had been using the wrong calculator and getting the
numbers wrong for years.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Did MB actually do anything around the America's Cup that
actually try and benefit from From what I gather, they
actually didn't send anyone to Barcelona to go look New Zealand.
They just left it to themselves and that was the
big draw card over the Team New Zealand. So I
don't really know who to trust and believe. And next
time you say you stop waving tiny hands at me

(02:17):
when you say.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Who pays for it? That's the other thing, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well, Dalton's come out and said, look, we're talking and
that's important, but we're going to need central government money
and we're going to need some private investors as well.
But it looks like there's no bad blood. They haven't gone,
oh you're problematic. Last time we've proven and it's hard
for me to say this, but we have proven that
you need a lot of money to defend the America's Cup.

(02:41):
So we got our money and we defended it.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
