In the days before the America’s Cup match in Barcelona, Team New Zealand starboard helmsman Peter Burling made it clear the team would take necessary risks to defend the Auld Mug.
“When you get to the top level of any sport, you see people really getting punished for mistakes. In saying that, you can’t be afraid to take risks either,” he said.
“You don’t want to come through it with a conservative mindset, that’s for sure, and we definitely will not be doing that. But we can fully expect if one of us makes a mistake, the other one will punish them.”

Episode Transcript
Andrew Ortison's here was sport, hey, Andrew.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Okay, right, it was pretty remarkable though.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It is amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
So if you're talking, we deal in the world of
catches and sporting that and that is that's quite a catch.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hey. The America's Cup, we're doing all right?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Team New Zealanders, Yeah for sure. So three nil up.
They've got to get to seven to win the or
to defend the old mug, and they've done so pretty successfully.
On the second day of racing, fourth race was postponed
due to fickle wind, but Team New Zealand getting the
benefit of the judges or the umpires if you like.
(00:34):
With there was a protest at the start and Brittanny
was ruled to have incurred that penalty. So I meant
that they had to be seventy five meters behind at
the start and so from there on and he's able
to choose their side of the course and dictate proceedings,
so able to take that out. So three nil up.
(00:54):
And just listening to some of the calms there, Peter Burling,
he's as usual calm efficient and yeah, just reassured self.
I suppose behind in the driver's.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Seat, it's the battery issues that are going on. Are
they going to come back and plague anyone?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah? It sounds quite tricky, doesn't And I think with
Britan you're being I guess held back or they joined
very late in the piece as well. I mean, if
you're changing stuff over at that last minute time scenario,
it's got to effect your build up and you and
you're I guess you're pause. You're hard to stay composed
in those circumstances with such frantic goings on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah. Absolutely, Bathurst, what's happening?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
So Brady Ksetecky's one Bathurst is the king of them
out alongside Todd Hazelwood, so Hazel's first winning supercars. But
they managed to survive across the one sixty one laps
and in a race record as well, so five hours,
fifty eight minutes and three seconds first to go under
the sub six hour mark. But yeah, pretty nerve wracking
(01:58):
as well. I mean only one or Feenie by one
point three to five seconds, so not much in it.
And then and then you know the tune upwards towards
the back end of that race. You want to be
well in control.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Now India Australia the two twenty World Cup Cricket match.
Why do I care because it could have an impact.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It's more the impact on New Zealand. So India effectively
have to beat Australia to really throw it out there.
But given that they lost to New Zealand earlier in
pool play, this has provided New Zealand beat Pakistan. I
think it's ones tomorrow, so you have a situation that
moment in Australia and India playing India chasing one fifty
two when I think they were forty five for two
(02:37):
after six overs, so there'd be one to watch across
the morning. And if India does get up then that
does put New Zealand's position under more pressure. Put it
that way, run rates and when we're playing, I think
it's tomorrow tomorrow, all right, bring it up against Pakistan
and then UAE and we'll see how that fears out.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
