Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine
from Newstalks edb.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Ajor League Cricket is on in the United States, available
for Kiwi fans to watch live and exclusive for the
first time on Prime Video. Every Major League cricket match
available on Prime in New Zealand until July twenty nine.
You can watch anywhere, anytime, on any device, and there
are plenty of Kiwis involved, including Black Caps around a
(00:33):
rich and Ravendra who's part of the top of the table.
Washington Freedom Bielder is there, but all he can do
is watch as it sails over his head.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
What a strike from rights in avenger for sex? Yes
not dame to settle down. Second bond that effaces, it's
in the slot and he freezes arms.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Bang it goes.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
That's a free hitch as well accepted gooley and disappeared
for sex.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
What a talent this young man is. He makes me
I think, looks so ridiculously easy.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Right and revenge rejoins us from the United States where
he's playing Major League Cricket. Great to get the chance
to chat to here is always right and how you
how are you enjoying the competition? Major League cricket for
the Washington Freedom.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Yeah, she's Pliny's. It's been cool.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Obviously, playing in the America is not something you experienced
too often, and for me to be able to experience
at such a young age.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Young and Mun's national career has been pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
I mean there's a lot of things to do off
the field, and the fans have been amazing. I guess
it's been a bit of a fly on effect from
the teach when you walk up they've had hair. So
it's been an amazing experience so far.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Lots of familiar faces for you as well, rch and
particularly Keiwi's and Ossie's, Lockie Ferguson's there at the Washington
Freedom with you, Travis Headglen Maxwell, Steve Smith, the Australian trio.
A bit of a down Under reunion going on.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yeah, I mean you wouldn't say that to often. Keevy's
and Ossie's mixing well to you that. No, it's been good.
I think that those Aussies are are great people. See
nice having Lockie hair, and we've got a diverse team
and I mean you look at those guys, they know
how to win games of cricket, you know, he any
Smudge and MAXI both you know, won a World Cup
recently so and they've won so much so they know
(02:22):
they know what they're doing. And I guess it's nice
to have like an Aussi environment too. It's I guess
similar to that New Zealand setup. It's pretty chill. You know,
they let the players do their thing and a lot
of trust and a lot of backing support stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
So it's been a pretty cool so far.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I guess with so much franchise cricket now, the nature
of it is, you know, you're coming together with a
team of players that you know, you might know from
having played against them perhaps but not really spent a
lot of time with. Do you work, you know pretty hard,
pretty quickly on forging relationships in a situation like that.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
I think we're benefiting from having a great group of guys,
everyone who cares for each other and plays for each
other and enjoy hanging out with everyone after the games
and off the field, and I think that goes a
long way into building that trust onto the field. Yeah,
it's definitely an interesting and difficult one because you play
with different people around the world so often and you
have a different team and it's always shifting. But I
mean it's a cool opportunity to get to know other
(03:15):
guys and learn from them and take back something you
know that they do in their games and hopefully you
sort of take it for yourself. But I think that's
the beauty of Viternesh Creek at the moment and franchise crickets.
You get to mix with a bunch of people you
know and you end up playing against them quite a bit.
So it's always going to be that competitive rivalry when
you come up against you your teammatesrom around the world.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Oh what are the venues like rocha and the wickets
you're playing on in Major League cricket.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
So we had a little bit of scent in Riley.
I think that's how you pronounce it. In North Carolina
it was.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Like a I guess they've built it, like built a
little stadium around it, and the pitches they're very good.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
There was a little bit of rain which was slightly negly,
but ended up work. It was really good.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
And I guess we've got this stadium in Dallas which
is a perfect cricket venue. Great you know, great seeding,
great pitch, exactly what you see from around the world.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
It's just like a you know, a great cricket. So
the pitchers have been very good so far.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I mean, it's you always come to an unknown especially
you don't know if it's what it's going to be
like in America and stuff. But the way it's been
going so far, they've they've run it really well. You know,
the Churaders are doing a great job and it's been
producing competitive cricket and that's all you can really ask for.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Good for your left arm spin.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Yeah, it's a little bit in the wickets, Piney.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
It's been good having like a little bit of a
bowl here in there and when Skipper throws me the ball.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
But definitely a little bit of whole, a little bit
of turn.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
But I think the nature of the tournament as you
play so many games on a certain pitch, so it's
bound to get a little bit tired. But to be honest,
I've been very impressed with the way the wickets have
held up. We haven't necessarily had like a real turn
and burner as of yet, so and I guess looking
forward to the playoffs, I don't think we will get
anything like that. So it's been the pitches have been
up to you know, T twenty standard throughout the tournament.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
There's been such a busy twenty twenty four for you,
hasn't It seems like you're going from one cricket assignment
to the next. You had your first IPL season earlier
this year with the Chinnai Super Kings. How do you
reflect back on that.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, that was amazing.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I think being part of the most storied franchise in cricket,
in franchise cricket was pretty amazing, pretty special team that
has won you know, five five championships and have know
how to run a clinical ship.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
You know, it was it was cool.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
And being able to rub shoulders with world class players
and have a couple of key guys around me to
help support me too through that time was great.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I think you take a lot of learning from that.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Obviously, it's a lot of time away from home and
in twenty twenty four haven't had too much time in Wellington.
But it's all part of it and I think it's
part of learning and that's the beauty of interest cricket
at the moment. You know, you get to play in
different environments and different conditions and you're only going to
get beer as a player. So it's been an amazing
experience so far, and hopefully I can you know, keep
pushing on with that stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I know you knew this anyway, but did it give
you an even greater appreciation of the deep love that
people in India have for the game of cricket.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Yeah, yeah, the spot on there, Pioneer, it was.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Certainly it can be a little bit overwhelming, I think,
especially paying but you know, you know, you've got the
fan foo for Doni and everything, and the way the
fans follow the team around, you know, even the hotels,
and you can't necessarily leave your hotel too often because
you know, you get recognized and stuff and you get mobbed.
But I guess it puts in perspective, makes us very
very grateful that we can put you know, joy and
(06:29):
happiness on people's faces when we're playing cricket. And I
think that's probably the biggest thing for me, being able
to entertain people, entertain the fans, and that you know,
keeps that drive and motivation going. So, I mean, the
crowds are amazing, how loud they were in India. It's
you know, it's the real sort of pinches off moment
to be able to be out there and enjoying that.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, I was going to use that exact phrase, actually,
the pinch yourself moments that you must be having Army.
You're well known in New Zealand now in Wellington, but
you know you can you can walk down the street
without getting you know, peaced too much. But now you're
talking about, you know, not really being able to go
out for a cup of coffee in India.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Yeah, it is a little bit like that. I think
you probably take your freedom a little bit granted sometimes. Yeah,
And obviously it's nice when people wanted to come to
high It's always always nice to know, you know, you're well.
I just recognized by it by people and because you're
playing sport for a living. But yeah, India is seriously
next level. I think, you know, you can get tired
of it sometimes, but I think you're pretty grateful for
(07:28):
the position you're in, like I said before, and it's
it's a it's a different world over there with cricket, piney,
it's it's it's unbelievable. But I mean the again experiences
that I definitely pinched myself, you know, a year ago
you're looking at the same situation and you're like, oh,
I don't you know, all of a sudden things happen
quickly and you're in those situation. So it's been a
pretty special journey so far.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah, well you may well get the opportunity, of course,
all going well to go back there because the black
Caps have Test matches against India. That's the next red
ball assignment for the for the national side, and then
England at home. I know you love your red ball cricket.
How keen are you to be involved in those Test matches?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Definitely.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I think playing playing for Zeland personally for me is
you know, whether it's pinnacle or especially Test matches against
India and England to all the better sides in world
cricket is always going to be amazing fun. I think,
like life, we just said the crowds in India are
going to be insane, and obviously back home we saw
the back end of the summer the crowds against Australia
and what great Test matches they were and hopefully be
(08:25):
able to recuplicate that against England too and do one
better and actually win the serious this time. But I
think he was showed last time. England toured and that
amazing game at the basin and we all always love
sort of welcoming the England fans here. And they're a
competitive cricket team. And I think you remember summers and
you know that those are you know, the summers that
(08:47):
you enjoy playing and when you're playing those high profile teams.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
So I know it'll be fun.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Hopefully the public will get along and you know, have
a great turnout for those tests.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, and just on Test cricket, the nature of the
game these days is that you play a lot of
white ball cricket. But as I say, I know you
love your red ball stuff. Where is your Test double
one hundred against South Africa and Mount Monganui last summer
rate among everything else you've achieved.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Yeah, like I said, Plan, it's always nice, Like you know,
the historic meaning of Test cricket and being able to
be involved for all that is amazing and yeah, definitely
rates highly. I think for me, Test cricket is the
ultimate test of temperament and being able to sustain that
for a long period of time and test yourself mentally,
I think that that counts for a lot and I
think that's that's pure Banning. You know, that's pure betning
(09:32):
bliss for me being able to do that for a
period of time and also do that with Kine, who
we all know what a player he is, so I
think again, we talk about pinch yourself moments and that
was one of them. And being able to share the
crease with him and contribute to a to a team
win and series win was was incredibly special.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I bet well, As I say, very busy time. You
are going to get a break at some stage. Are
you going to get back home for a bit.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Yeah, I'm actually going to New York after this for
a week and I have a little week at home
after that, and then I'll get into my prep for
the Subcontinent tests. So two weeks off will be hopefully
enough for me to realogize it's it's been a so.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Far, it absolutely has. Look it's a busy time for you.
Thanks for taking time out of your schedule, rights in
for a chat. Always love talking cricket.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
