Speaker 2 (00:21):
The Agenda Podcast the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by Export Vulture.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And we are down here in the Garden City, Mike Glavee, Yes,
beautiful Garden City, christ Church. It's actually a very warm
balmie day outside. We are here to go and check
out the grounds ahead of the cricket match tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
That's right to a bit of pregame, ye work? Is
it wrecky? Recky?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah, a recky for you at home. We'll do the
pitch report, yep. I'll see what until we can find.
You know, I do my best punting work at the track.
I'm hoping that that'll carry over to the pitch as well.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Hope it gives you something.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Hoping it gives me something. We'll let you know what
we see after we head down there. We're recording this
about lunchtime on the Wednesday, so We're heading down there
this afternoon and then coverage will be on iHeartRadio tomorrow live.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
And free on iHeartRadio. Just thinking.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
If you text cricket to three two three six, you'll
get a link through to the commentary.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
We'll talk about the cricket in just a few moments time.
But yesterday we were very very lucky to be able
to head along.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
To Yesto Links golf Course with the November team and
the Great newsy on Tea Off which is happening this
week around the country. Everyone's using their tea times that
they won an auction at the start of the month.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
But yeah, and good, how did these guys win?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
They're one, so basically they it was Eddie. Edie won
the prize.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
He got to bring three mates along, which was Jace,
Steve and Ben who came along and they got to
stay the night there and we had dinner. Thing's got
a bit carried away afterwards. But yeah, all they had
to do was this bit on any tea time on
the Great News on Tee Off early in the month
to go on the drawer. Great New Zealanders, great day.
I'm still feeling a little bit sun burnt. I think
(02:07):
I might have.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I think I might have been seen way too much sun.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
We didn't get home till about eleven o'clock. I still
jumped in the shower and worked the messes up running
the shower. But I was standing in the mirror afterwards
that my forearms are burnt. Yeah, I got roasted out there.
It was.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
I mean, it's hard to describe howsome. Yes, you play
good if you play golf. If you're not a gold Steffie,
then you know, it's still it's an impressive set up
out there outside Munga Pi.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
It was a hell of a prize. So it was Yeah,
they actually see Team Movember team and then there was
supposed to be a couple of the Blues players, but
one of them pulled out. That's how I managed to
you did. I'm very happy I did. And Harry Plumber
came along as well.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
She's how good a golfer is Harry Plumber.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Harry Plumber is. He has a I think he's got
a zero handicap, right or maybe three or something.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
He is in crell.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
He hits those shots where you're like, oh, this is
going to go flying off the back of the green
and then it just rips and stops.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Oh, you had to spin it. I don't even know
how to start doing that. Neither do I.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Every shot, he is so consistent, great striker of the ball.
He said, it's interesting how many kicking coaches use a
golf analogy. Yeah, so it'll be like, oh, this is
a seven iron, you know, smooth stroke, you don't need
to crush it, blah blah blah. So yeah, but he
is outstanding. He shot seventy six for the round at
(03:33):
which is it's actually a much more forgiving course than
I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah, it is. It's good.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I mean, it's just good fun. You don't want to
go to a course and just get bent over, no,
which is what I thought was going to happen to me.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah it was. You played bluddy well.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
You you the only ACC member who won and that yeah,
six match plays, you were the only one that won.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And I shot a hundred, So I don't want anyone
out there to think that I was crushing it.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I shot a hundred two and the guy beat me
shot one hundred and three, so work that out.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Well, he got a lot of strokes.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
It's because of the handicap, which I still don't understand.
And I've never put in a card before, so I
don't know what my handicap is.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
So you were maximum.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
So I was maximum, and I was peered up with Eddie,
who won the trip. He said his handicap was twenty nine,
and I said, seventy two plus twenty nine, it's one
hundred and one. I was like, that's what I'm aiming
for every time. Best I've ever done it ninety four.
What I didn't tell him was that was last week.
And so after about six holes, I was five up
and would split one of the holes, and he was
(04:29):
he was ropal, he was ropeable. I didn't realize until
the turn that he was actually like massively passed off
at how far behind he'd gotten. And after the thirteenth
hole he came over and shook my hand and said
it's done. I can't catch you now, and and then
he sort of bit his leap a little bit. But
then at the end you came over and asked me
how I went, and I said, oh, you're my sandbag
(04:51):
diddy a little.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Bit there because.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And he goes you fucking once I'd said it had
just tipped him off, and so we stayed out there
for a few beers and the whole night. Yeah, he
was just blowing up about how Sam Bag did it.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yeah, and big, big thank you too to Joe Jury,
who who offered to drive us there and back and
in his words, the worst car trip he's ever had
taking us back to Auckland.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And he said, some shockers.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
He said, that's saying something because he has witnessed some
pretty horrendous roadies and that was up there an hour
and a half of his life.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
He will never get bad.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Hour and a half of us just rambling on. It's
the worst thing when you're the sober driver. He was saying, Look,
he was waiting for us. He's like, surely we're going
to leave, we've had dinner hour. But then the beers
just kept coming.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Oh he should have just told us.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, he should have. He should have said, we got
to go. This is his fault, Yeah, this is we're good.
We're going to gaslight him, victim blame him. So you
made your own bed, it's your fault. But yeah, an
hour and a half of just us wasted on repeat,
just saying the same old.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Doing same jokes, same story, same story.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Me trying to do the math on whether I actually
did sambaghm or not, which I Well, he said twenty nine,
which means we were both going to shoot one hundred
and one.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I only shot a hundred, So did I did? I?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Sand begum.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I think he was just about better, better and twisted
he was.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
But he and I know he listens to the podcast,
will probably be listening to the shout out, shout out
to you, Eddie, but he has sworn to besmirch my
name to anyone who'll listened.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Well, the good news is they made the most of
their accommodation out into Actually they didn't. I don't think
they spent much in time in their beds.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I don't know if they saw it.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
They knocked it on the head at five am. Oh
my god, so they almost would have seen the sun
com up.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
On a Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, what the hell league is this?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
So we're just in the We're actually in the Hits
studio and Christ shoots right now.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
They've got sky Sport one on chick out Ronnie. There
is a there is a it's George Costanza.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh, it's the Guyana Cricketing League. It's a real hodgepodge
of players. They've got what looks to be Carry O'Keeffe
one of the bowler. And then is that Buddy Lobul's
Super League? Is that old Bravo coming out there? Now
they've got players walking through fireworks which is spraying them
in the eyes. They having to shield their eyes as
(07:11):
they walk out, and they are dressed like darts players.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Okay, Global super League, that's get.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
That bizarre anyway, Yeah, great day out of toute Lynx.
If you ever get the chance, and in fact you
had the chance, you could have bid on you could
have been on one of the Great New Zealand teoffs.
I think is there still spots.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Because the idea is that one hundred and ninety clubs
put tea times up and everyone had a lock about
four weeks to bid on them and that closed at
the start of November raised over seventy grand though for
November the Great New zeal On Teoff. Ollie Olli Bradshaw
founded that and organizes that.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I think he hit did he hit seventy two yesterday?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
I think he's not a bad player as well. But
it was a great time, so big thanks to Vollet
as well. Put on the Great New zeal On Teoff
in November.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
For looking after us. It's pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Absolutely all right, let's take a quick break. When we
come back, we're going to talk about it cricket. We're
are down here in christ chitch Lane, and that is
because tomorrow is the well, it's the start of the
summer of cricket, really, isn't it? Is?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
It is?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Well, it's the first day of the first Test New
Zealand versus England. It's been sent a message by Tim Southy.
He's keen to have Oh, he's keen to keep the
camel that we're trying to source.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So if you haven't seen it on our Instagram, we've
been trying to source a camel on this podcast for
the longest time. We need to get it into Tim
Southy's last game, which is in Hamilton. Someone sent us
in a photo of a fiberglass camel.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
But that looks it looks like it's unloved.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It on its side, but it's on a frame. It
looks like it's on wheels. So we need to I
don't know if the person who send us that photo
actually owns the camel, but we need to get in
touch with them. Could that potentially be the Sylvia Park camel.
It looks it does looks very similar to the Sylvia
Park camel fiberglass camera South. He's asked if he can
have that for his backyard. Afterwards, we look if we
(09:00):
can get hold of it, Yeah, one hundred percent you can.
We'll put a steed of the ship had on it.
You'll be away laughing. But yeah, we take on England
and I'm so excited for this, and I feel like
a lot of people are because the memories of the
last English Test series here are still so fresh.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Yeah, the one all that we got a pantsing and
tot on and then we had the thriller down in
the basin, the thriller.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
In Manila, last Bloody Wagner, last ball, top of off start.
I can still see it so clearly.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yeah, and then that was caught down, strangled down league side,
wasn't it was Jimmy Anderson. I can see strangled down
league side. The worst way to go, Yeah, the worst
way to go it was. I mean, it was so
everyone was into that game. It was to the point
where I was working at a rival sporting media outlet
and we were watching the ACCS coverage.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
In the office and it just it took over the nation. Yeah,
it's one of the great things about a Test match.
I think that's what we all loved about that India
series because it builds for so long and you've got
a chance to get involved in it, you know.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Yeah, and listen that we have to win all three
if for any chance for this World Test Championship, we
have to win all three. So that's kind of in
the background as well, that's going on.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah. So because India we're trying I was trying to
figure this out yesterday. Because they beat Australia. That's bad
for us.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
It's bad for us, but it's not totally bad. If
Australia win like for one over there or three to
one whatever, that's good for us. If India win this
series in Australia not good for.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Us, yeah, right, because it gives them too many wins.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah, But saying that, we just need to win these
three games and then see what happens. Yeah, that's the
crux of it. It'll be a classic. Well, we'll update
you tomorrow on the state of the patroom we go
out there, but I'm packing it's going to be fairly green.
It always has something in it. The toss is always
crucial because you just want to bowl first. So yeah,
(10:57):
I can't see I can't see it being playing any
different than it had last year.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
So a bit juicy.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, no one. I love watching cricket at Agley Park.
I think it's such a great, great little spot there.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
And also we're staying opposite the new Takaha Stadium.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
How epic is that going to be?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
It looks incredible. Now the roadworks is going to drive
me insane. But yeah, that thing looks out the gate.
I mean them thirteen years. But city Center, city Center,
it is a hop, skip and a jump from the
Hits studio. We've climbed through the window and today, but
it's a hop, skip and a jump from everywhere. It's
going to be like can you imagine Game Day because
(11:35):
Christ Hitch and Hamilton, they the whole city gets overtaken
by the game, sometimes during Super Rugby, certainly for an
All Blacks game. Yeah, the city is just going to
be a buzz when that happens.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
So when is it only next year? Is it still
another year to go?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I'd be speaking out of turn, but I'll do it. Yeah,
it's opening next year, so yeah, we'll have to come
We've got to come down for years.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I mean it's hard. Here's not many city center stadiums
like that in New Zealand. I don't think there is one.
Wellington Stadium is still a bit of a ball eight
way out. It's not really city center and it's.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Also city center at all.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
And also although it's also not yeah the basmin, but
it's not a it's not a cricket stadium and it's
not a rugby stadium Wellington.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
It is a it's an arena for gladiators to fight in. Yeah,
but yeah, because you're so far.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Back from the terrible it's a terrible oval ball experience
and around ball experience, and it's a terrible cricket experience.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah. It was great for the Sevens for about ten
years and they killed it and that's about it. But yeah,
so I'm looking forward to that one as well. But
Hagley Park, when you get a good day in Hagley,
you get burnt to a crisp sitting out there.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I only my only not it's not a criticism, but
with the with the kind of ovals like Bay Oval,
like Hagley and like Hamilton, the atmosphere is kind of
funny because the noise disappears, so it doesn't sound when
you get ten thousand people in there. It doesn't sound
like ten thousand people. It's very quiet, unlike a kind
(13:07):
of an arena or stadium where the noise gets trapped
in the stands and it's like a visceral kind of
raw goes on when something happens that doesn't happen at
an oval.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
It's kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, that's a good point actually, And for as much
as a slug I feeding park that does do a
good job.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
At it, a full eating park is immense.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
When there's a break or a chargedown or something that's yeah,
you can really feel it. Yeah, So that Travis Scott's playing,
Oh Jesus, Yeah, I don't know if Travis Scott's going
to be playing in this game against England though I
don't actually know. I haven't seen the teams.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I even named the teams.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I know they've brought Jeff Archer over with them, but
I feel like he's the biggest blue balls player of
all time where you're always like, oh, Jeoffrey Archer is
going to play it, nat.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yeah, he was rubbish last time we smashed him around
a little bit Geoffrey Archers, So I think that's kind
of that that mystique has gone with her.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I mean he's slippery.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I wouldn't say he's probably the quickest bowler their face
for a while. Yeah, but for some reason he was
an effective last time he was out here.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I guess once you get past the gold chain, it's
a lot of a lot of the intimidation has gone,
you know, once that's out of your head a little bit. Yeah.
The thing is, my advice would be, if you're going
to face a guy like that, don't watch him bowl
before you go in, because that's that's how I got
out the st footage of me getting bowled out just
on Friday evening, and I got so in my head
(14:32):
because I saw the guy bowling before I went out there,
and he looked quick, and when I got out there,
he actually wasn't, but I was already in my head
about it has run up. He came in behind the umpire,
he hid behind the umpire and then he'd pop out,
put gunner and then bowl at it. And it freaked
me out. It was done too much pop up, like
(14:53):
in Sears. So I think we were debating. I think
maybe in the car the other day. I don't know
if you're with us or not, whether Will Young gets
a run in this game.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
I mean what's circling is that he's getting he's going
to get dropped for Williamson, which is unlucky for Will.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Unlucky for Will. But if you're going to get dropped
for anyone, you can probably stomach that. Yes, but then
it's like, well, how do you who else could you
potentially drop for him? It got down to jeez, do
you go Phillips Phillips? Well, but the thing is Phillips
is too useful. He's a real like obviously, he's a
handy fielder. He's a break glass in case of emergency bowler. Yes,
(15:35):
he could pick up the gloves if something would have happen.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
He's also, I.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Think we're discussing he's your T one player. Yeah, he
can field, he's a best fielder. Yeah, he's keecking bowl
and he can bat. He's a decent bowler.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
So he's your first T one pack in it. That's
really one competition, and.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I think he just needs to he needs to be
in the team because over five days weird shit happens
in a Test match, you know, and you need a
dude like him to make some weird shit happen. I
was wondering, like, and I'm sure there's a stat for it.
Cricket is great for nerd stuff and you know stats
and all that. I'd love to see a stat for
(16:12):
how many runs you prevented in the field. I know
it a bit of squirrely stat. I think they I
think they do do. Yeah, right, I'm sure they would
have something.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I think I've seen it before of like how many
runs that person's technically saved? Yeah, but then how do
you if someone canes it straight at you at cover
and you stop it? Yeah, is that counted as a
you've saved a four? Or does there have to be
some sort of movement?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It would be very hard. The only way I could
see it done would be in your like whatever eighth
of the ground how many runs were scored in that
match versus how many runs on average are scored you
know in your area. It wouldn't be a perfect stat, no,
but I think that's that would really favor Glenn Phillips.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah, yeah, he's I mean, you can't drop him. Unfortunately,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Who else you drop zippy from Rainbow?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
If you don't, I don't know, we'll just get He's
just going to have to carry the drinks. Unfortunately, the
man of the match wasn't in the series.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah in India.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, now, unfortunately he's got to carry the drinks.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Like Ajs Pattel came back with ten for. Yeah, never
played again until the next tour. Well, so he won't
play against India, will against England.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
He's going to be one of He's going to be
one of those. I mean, he already is a bottle
cap question with the with the ten for but he's
just going to be one of those. Whatever happened to
a Jess Battel.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
So I don't get him to he just doesn't play home.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, it just took a million wickets in India and
then they don't play him when he comes back over here.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
We should just create a dust ball. One of the
grounds should just be a dust ball. I'm saying Wellington,
just turn it, turn it into something at Turns Square.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
So when Australia and England come here, they're like, oh god,
I play at the basin and we just basically base
our all our spinners out of Wellington and so they
play all their domestic cricket there and then we just
have one game every tour where it's just turning square. Yeah,
we buy ag as a house. We just need to
fuck them up. You need we need to be missing
(18:07):
with touring teams. I think we're a bit too nice.
Everyone comes down here and they get a nice welcome
and you know, and you're having a good time. Do
you love New Zealand And then they say, yea new
zeud's great. To make it hostile totally, we used to
send them to Daneedin and start. Yeah, we just send
Pakistan down to Dunedin and November and that.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Freezer ursoles send the Windys down there. Also a man
wearing two beanies. Last time they came out.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
They basically bring their doubts from the hotel. Yes, they
wrapped themselves up hot water bottles and ship more stuff
like that. That's all we need.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Pictures severy recent Italy, but eleven of them sitting on
the sidelines on his the socks on his heads, just
absolutely dying. Yeah, we don't need to do a bit
more of that because there's no other sport that the
surface you play on has such a big impact. Yeah,
got any basketball quarter around the world hoops ten foot
off the ground, but cricket all around the world is
completely different. Jesus. What we looked up the there was
(18:59):
footage of Don Bradman's last innings. If you saw the
pitch that they were playing on, it looked like it
had just been shelled in the blitz. It was that
like pot holy and a man came out and boulder
wrong and at him on that pitch. I was like,
there should have been rules against that kind of shit.
So three game series, right, We've got christ Church, then
we're at.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
The basin, yes, and then in the tron So that's
we're heading the trim with the camel. That is that
is Tim Sowdy's last game add his home ground at
Craon Park because in Northern Districts, Yeah, Through and Through
is only only association he's ever played for. He's from
Northland though, right, Yeah, the Northland encapsulates Northern districts. Just
the little work quirk of cricket. It's like Central Districts
(19:43):
includes Nelson Marlborough.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I've never known what Central districts. Man, Central can't wrap
my head around.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Central districts as Hawk's Bay, Tartanaki and Nelson Marlborough.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Of course it is, of course it fucking is. That's
very cricket cricket. What does someone and Nelson have to
do with someone in Hawk's Bay. They don't even speak
the same language. So how do you think this series
is going to go? Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Like we've got We've got a bit of BDC coming
into this.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
We've got some confidence coming out of the Indian Series.
I think that'll help New Zealand. I think England aren't
aren't playing the.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Greatest I thing. They got rolled do they get rolled
by Sri Lanka recently?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
I can't remember, but it's one of those ones that's
always tied against England. I think they've got a strong
batting lineup. I don't know about so much about their
bowling just yet. They love these conditions, they love these conditions.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Well and from all accounts, Bears been showing them around,
showing them a great time here in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, I love Bears.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Their first destination Queenstown, Queenstown Casino, Queenstown Casino golf course,
Jack's Point. They played a warm up game in Queenstown.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Of cricket, Yeah, of cricket right against hurt plumbers.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Some plumbers and some yeah, some train lasers, some train
layers down in there. But yeah, Harry Plumber was saying, yeah,
they had a great time on the courses over around
Europe on their trip. Oh yeah, he said there was
a golf tour with a rugby got in the way.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That's yeah. Well that was actually one of my first
questions for him. Did he ever play some rugby when
the South African teams were still in He said, yeah,
he got one season there where he got to go
over and it was like the first two weeks of
the season the Blues would be over in South Africa.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, it's just a tour of the most.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Beautiful golf courses, yeah that South Africa has to offer.
But cricketers, cricketers are even are even worse for that.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
I also asked Harry who's the who's the biggest golf
hundi in the all blacks off? Ah, really he's the bigger.
He's the biggest goal nufty around. He's the absolute honey
here because he's got all he has to buy a
piece of memorability at every course he goes to Oh yeah,
so that's and you wouldn't want to You wouldn't want
(21:57):
to be calling him up on any etiquette, would you.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
No one. I reckon you would not be able to
find a man who says that they've seen off a
song of ussy kickers all that from behind the bush.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
You don't want to head up on him either, No, God, no, God,
no hit up on, head up on off as sorry man?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, your carden. The rounds over? So, yeah, so you
think this is going to be tight? Do you think
we win the first one here at Hagley?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Yeah? I reckon we win the first one.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
I reckon Wellington will be a different killer fish if
the pitch plays like it did last year.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Was the pitch?
Speaker 4 (22:29):
The Wellington pitch was a bit spicy last year and
started to turn on day one.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
So the Hamilton one was the confusing one for me. Yeah,
Glenn Phillips looked like fucking Shane Warnon for a couple
of overs there. I couldn't figure it out.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I think I think we win this one, and then
I think the second one is going to be potentially tighter.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
But I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
I haven't seen much of him playor I'm just going
purely on vibe.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Don't follow me in on any of that.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
No, no, no, that's well. The t ib just about
can't split them. Think when I last checked, we were
a dollar ninety, they were two ten, Okay, so it's
like no one can really split that. It's going to
it's going to be it's going to be exciting. I mean,
it starts on Thursday, so you've got the whole weekend
to just park up. Yeah, my missus is at work.
You will not get me.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Off that couch unless you're commentating on commentating it.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, I mean you're still on the couch. That's yeah,
that's all I was going to be doing anyway. So
I'm very much looking forward to that. Just one last
thing before we go, and we will have to cut
this one just a little bit short because of the
hit squad down here and Crush.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
It's going to come and they're mobilizing.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Come for our heads very shortly. Did you see. There's
been a lot of talk about relaxing the eligibility rules
for the all blacks, and this is because Raiser has
been asked about it, and he thinks that all blacks
should be able to pick from anyone from around the world.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Yeah, basically, it's funny he's changed his tune on that
because when he was a Crusaders coach, yes, so much.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
No, I know it's a good point, but he always
had that point about the like rest and rotation thing
that the All Blacks make the players doing super rugby.
He was just like, look, if I was the All
Black coach, I'd be all for it. But I'm the
Crusaders coach, so I hate it. Yeah, And so you
know he's he's at least open about how his allegiances
have switched.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
I don't know about the overseas players. I mean, part
of me is like, the best players should play for
the All Blacks. Yeah, that's that's a very simple way
of looking at it. But then does that jeopardize our league?
And I mean not that our league is robust anyway,
you know what I mean. I mean that they all
just go and play Japan.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Well, Beaver had a good point the other day on
whatever sports outlet that he works on. It was basically
just saying, well, that means that you're you're the kids
aren't going to get to see those players lay so
because you know when when the All Blacks are playing overseas,
it's very easy to miss a game when it's in
the middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Well, now, if you've got Richie mong or you've got
you know, Boden Barrett whoever, playing over overseas, but then
playing for the All Blacks, you'd be like, I.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Don't know, like hard to get behind, hard to get behind.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, because you see the point, it's like those South
African teams. I never knew who was playing for any
of those South African teams when they're in Super Rugby. Yeah,
because the time zone was so awful, you just never
watch the games. I couldn't even tell you where the
Bloody Stormers are from. Is it Cape Town?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
The Western Stormers now?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Is it's gwas so Yeah, So I think that's a
that's a good point. We were talking about the other day.
I don't think it was on the podcast, but a
rugby club championship, So I know they're doing something similar
over in the Middle East. I think from next year,
like a club challenge sort of thing. That would be
(25:38):
I reckon that'd be the way to do it because
you can still get the money in there, the players
can still play overseas, but we still have our local
comp So let's say we do Super Rugby and all
of our teams play themselves. Ozzie do their thing, South
Africa have their Carry Cup whatever, Argentina do it too.
In the top two go, then the top two go
and then we hash it out. I reckon that would work.
(25:59):
Do it fight Island here we come will so yeah,
I I I can't see them doing it for only
for one reason. It is the only bargaining chip New
Zealand rugby have is the black jersey. H and that's
the only thing that because we can't compete financially, so
that all these players want a bugger off, so they'll
(26:19):
never do it. They're also that's just the way New
Zealand rugby is always run and will always be run
as where the fucking all blacks. Yeah, everyone wants to play.
Every kid wants to be in all black. Whether it's
true or not, I don't know, but that's how they'll
be running.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
And it's only Richie moh, isn't it. That's the Catalyst's
let's be honest with ourselves. Yeah, he just wants he.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Wants Richie back. He's seeing him Booty calls.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Would yeah too every night?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yeah? Should we should do that thing again? Will we
won like seven competitions? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I mean he's just won the competition in Japan. He's
on a good work out, He's only playing for four
months a year.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I've put my foot in my mouth when I met
him at the start of this year when those All
Blacks games are on and I said to him, jeez mate,
when was the last you bloody lost the competition? He
goes the World Cup?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, so yeah, it's Shennon for sales. Next. Do you
want me to finish the.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah? And then man Shannon Frazell figured out how Fantasy
Rugby Union would work. Jesus, look at the state of
that opening Batsman and the Global Super League. My god,
they're rolling him out there.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
The Global Super League, Like what what is that?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Guyana x on mobile? All right, let's knock this thing
on the head for a Wednesday, We're going to shoot
down to Hagley. Oval Line's going to put his car
keys into the pit ye. And then we will be
back tomorrow to tell you what we found at the
ground yep, and give you some awful awful trips to

If you text cricket to three two three six, you'll

Speaker 1 (01:18):
We'll talk about the cricket in just a few moments time.
But yesterday we were very very lucky to be able
to head along.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
To Yesto Links golf Course with the November team and
the Great newsy on Tea Off which is happening this
week around the country. Everyone's using their tea times that
they won an auction at the start of the month.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
But yeah, and good, how did these guys win?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
They're one, so basically they it was Eddie. Edie won
the prize.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
He got to bring three mates along, which was Jace,
Steve and Ben who came along and they got to
stay the night there and we had dinner. Thing's got
a bit carried away afterwards. But yeah, all they had
to do was this bit on any tea time on
the Great News on Tee Off early in the month
to go on the drawer. Great New Zealanders, great day.
I'm still feeling a little bit sun burnt. I think
(02:07):
I might have.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I think I might have been seen way too much sun.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
We didn't get home till about eleven o'clock. I still
jumped in the shower and worked the messes up running
the shower. But I was standing in the mirror afterwards
that my forearms are burnt. Yeah, I got roasted out there.
It was.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
I mean, it's hard to describe howsome. Yes, you play
good if you play golf. If you're not a gold Steffie,
then you know, it's still it's an impressive set up
out there outside Munga Pi.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
It was a hell of a prize. So it was Yeah,
they actually see Team Movember team and then there was
supposed to be a couple of the Blues players, but
one of them pulled out. That's how I managed to
you did. I'm very happy I did. And Harry Plumber
came along as well.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
She's how good a golfer is Harry Plumber.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Harry Plumber is. He has a I think he's got
a zero handicap, right or maybe three or something.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
He is in crell.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
He hits those shots where you're like, oh, this is
going to go flying off the back of the green
and then it just rips and stops.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Oh, you had to spin it. I don't even know
how to start doing that. Neither do I.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Every shot, he is so consistent, great striker of the ball.
He said, it's interesting how many kicking coaches use a
golf analogy. Yeah, so it'll be like, oh, this is
a seven iron, you know, smooth stroke, you don't need
to crush it, blah blah blah. So yeah, but he
is outstanding. He shot seventy six for the round at
(03:33):
which is it's actually a much more forgiving course than
I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah, it is. It's good.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I mean, it's just good fun. You don't want to
go to a course and just get bent over, no,
which is what I thought was going to happen to me.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah it was. You played bluddy well.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
You you the only ACC member who won and that yeah,
six match plays, you were the only one that won.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And I shot a hundred, So I don't want anyone
out there to think that I was crushing it.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I shot a hundred two and the guy beat me
shot one hundred and three, so work that out.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Well, he got a lot of strokes.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
It's because of the handicap, which I still don't understand.
And I've never put in a card before, so I
don't know what my handicap is.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
So you were maximum.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
So I was maximum, and I was peered up with Eddie,
who won the trip. He said his handicap was twenty nine,
and I said, seventy two plus twenty nine, it's one
hundred and one. I was like, that's what I'm aiming
for every time. Best I've ever done it ninety four.
What I didn't tell him was that was last week.
And so after about six holes, I was five up
and would split one of the holes, and he was
(04:29):
he was ropal, he was ropeable. I didn't realize until
the turn that he was actually like massively passed off
at how far behind he'd gotten. And after the thirteenth
hole he came over and shook my hand and said
it's done. I can't catch you now, and and then
he sort of bit his leap a little bit. But
then at the end you came over and asked me
how I went, and I said, oh, you're my sandbag
(04:51):
diddy a little.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Bit there because.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And he goes you fucking once I'd said it had
just tipped him off, and so we stayed out there
for a few beers and the whole night. Yeah, he
was just blowing up about how Sam Bag did it.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yeah, and big, big thank you too to Joe Jury,
who who offered to drive us there and back and
in his words, the worst car trip he's ever had
taking us back to Auckland.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And he said, some shockers.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
He said, that's saying something because he has witnessed some
pretty horrendous roadies and that was up there an hour
and a half of his life.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
He will never get bad.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Hour and a half of us just rambling on. It's
the worst thing when you're the sober driver. He was saying, Look,
he was waiting for us. He's like, surely we're going
to leave, we've had dinner hour. But then the beers
just kept coming.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Oh he should have just told us.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, he should have. He should have said, we got
to go. This is his fault, Yeah, this is we're good.
We're going to gaslight him, victim blame him. So you
made your own bed, it's your fault. But yeah, an
hour and a half of just us wasted on repeat,
just saying the same old.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Doing same jokes, same story, same story.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Me trying to do the math on whether I actually
did sambaghm or not, which I Well, he said twenty nine,
which means we were both going to shoot one hundred
and one.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I only shot a hundred, So did I did? I?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Sand begum.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I think he was just about better, better and twisted
he was.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
But he and I know he listens to the podcast,
will probably be listening to the shout out, shout out
to you, Eddie, but he has sworn to besmirch my
name to anyone who'll listened.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Well, the good news is they made the most of
their accommodation out into Actually they didn't. I don't think
they spent much in time in their beds.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I don't know if they saw it.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
They knocked it on the head at five am. Oh
my god, so they almost would have seen the sun
com up.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
On a Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, what the hell league is this?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
So we're just in the We're actually in the Hits
studio and Christ shoots right now.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
They've got sky Sport one on chick out Ronnie. There
is a there is a it's George Costanza.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh, it's the Guyana Cricketing League. It's a real hodgepodge
of players. They've got what looks to be Carry O'Keeffe
one of the bowler. And then is that Buddy Lobul's
Super League? Is that old Bravo coming out there? Now
they've got players walking through fireworks which is spraying them
in the eyes. They having to shield their eyes as
(07:11):
they walk out, and they are dressed like darts players.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Okay, Global super League, that's get.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
That bizarre anyway, Yeah, great day out of toute Lynx.
If you ever get the chance, and in fact you
had the chance, you could have bid on you could
have been on one of the Great New Zealand teoffs.
I think is there still spots.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Because the idea is that one hundred and ninety clubs
put tea times up and everyone had a lock about
four weeks to bid on them and that closed at
the start of November raised over seventy grand though for
November the Great New zeal On Teoff. Ollie Olli Bradshaw
founded that and organizes that.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I think he hit did he hit seventy two yesterday?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
I think he's not a bad player as well. But
it was a great time, so big thanks to Vollet
as well. Put on the Great New zeal On Teoff
in November.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
For looking after us. It's pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Absolutely all right, let's take a quick break. When we
come back, we're going to talk about it cricket. We're
are down here in christ chitch Lane, and that is
because tomorrow is the well, it's the start of the
summer of cricket, really, isn't it? Is?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
It is?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Well, it's the first day of the first Test New
Zealand versus England. It's been sent a message by Tim Southy.
He's keen to have Oh, he's keen to keep the
camel that we're trying to source.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So if you haven't seen it on our Instagram, we've
been trying to source a camel on this podcast for
the longest time. We need to get it into Tim
Southy's last game, which is in Hamilton. Someone sent us
in a photo of a fiberglass camel.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
But that looks it looks like it's unloved.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It on its side, but it's on a frame. It
looks like it's on wheels. So we need to I
don't know if the person who send us that photo
actually owns the camel, but we need to get in
touch with them. Could that potentially be the Sylvia Park camel.
It looks it does looks very similar to the Sylvia
Park camel fiberglass camera South. He's asked if he can
have that for his backyard. Afterwards, we look if we
(09:00):
can get hold of it, Yeah, one hundred percent you can.
We'll put a steed of the ship had on it.
You'll be away laughing. But yeah, we take on England
and I'm so excited for this, and I feel like
a lot of people are because the memories of the
last English Test series here are still so fresh.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Yeah, the one all that we got a pantsing and
tot on and then we had the thriller down in
the basin, the thriller.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
In Manila, last Bloody Wagner, last ball, top of off start.
I can still see it so clearly.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yeah, and then that was caught down, strangled down league side,
wasn't it was Jimmy Anderson. I can see strangled down
league side. The worst way to go, Yeah, the worst
way to go it was. I mean, it was so
everyone was into that game. It was to the point
where I was working at a rival sporting media outlet
and we were watching the ACCS coverage.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
In the office and it just it took over the nation. Yeah,
it's one of the great things about a Test match.
I think that's what we all loved about that India
series because it builds for so long and you've got
a chance to get involved in it, you know.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Yeah, and listen that we have to win all three
if for any chance for this World Test Championship, we
have to win all three. So that's kind of in
the background as well, that's going on.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah. So because India we're trying I was trying to
figure this out yesterday. Because they beat Australia. That's bad
for us.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
It's bad for us, but it's not totally bad. If
Australia win like for one over there or three to
one whatever, that's good for us. If India win this
series in Australia not good for.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Us, yeah, right, because it gives them too many wins.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah, But saying that, we just need to win these
three games and then see what happens. Yeah, that's the
crux of it. It'll be a classic. Well, we'll update
you tomorrow on the state of the patroom we go
out there, but I'm packing it's going to be fairly green.
It always has something in it. The toss is always
crucial because you just want to bowl first. So yeah,
(10:57):
I can't see I can't see it being playing any
different than it had last year.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
So a bit juicy.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, no one. I love watching cricket at Agley Park.
I think it's such a great, great little spot there.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
And also we're staying opposite the new Takaha Stadium.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
How epic is that going to be?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
It looks incredible. Now the roadworks is going to drive
me insane. But yeah, that thing looks out the gate.
I mean them thirteen years. But city Center, city Center,
it is a hop, skip and a jump from the
Hits studio. We've climbed through the window and today, but
it's a hop, skip and a jump from everywhere. It's
going to be like can you imagine Game Day because
(11:35):
Christ Hitch and Hamilton, they the whole city gets overtaken
by the game, sometimes during Super Rugby, certainly for an
All Blacks game. Yeah, the city is just going to
be a buzz when that happens.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
So when is it only next year? Is it still
another year to go?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I'd be speaking out of turn, but I'll do it. Yeah,
it's opening next year, so yeah, we'll have to come
We've got to come down for years.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I mean it's hard. Here's not many city center stadiums
like that in New Zealand. I don't think there is one.
Wellington Stadium is still a bit of a ball eight
way out. It's not really city center and it's.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Also city center at all.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
And also although it's also not yeah the basmin, but
it's not a it's not a cricket stadium and it's
not a rugby stadium Wellington.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
It is a it's an arena for gladiators to fight in. Yeah,
but yeah, because you're so far.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Back from the terrible it's a terrible oval ball experience
and around ball experience, and it's a terrible cricket experience.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah. It was great for the Sevens for about ten
years and they killed it and that's about it. But yeah,
so I'm looking forward to that one as well. But
Hagley Park, when you get a good day in Hagley,
you get burnt to a crisp sitting out there.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I only my only not it's not a criticism, but
with the with the kind of ovals like Bay Oval,
like Hagley and like Hamilton, the atmosphere is kind of
funny because the noise disappears, so it doesn't sound when
you get ten thousand people in there. It doesn't sound
like ten thousand people. It's very quiet, unlike a kind
(13:07):
of an arena or stadium where the noise gets trapped
in the stands and it's like a visceral kind of
raw goes on when something happens that doesn't happen at
an oval.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
It's kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, that's a good point actually, And for as much
as a slug I feeding park that does do a
good job.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
At it, a full eating park is immense.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
When there's a break or a chargedown or something that's yeah,
you can really feel it. Yeah, So that Travis Scott's playing,
Oh Jesus, Yeah, I don't know if Travis Scott's going
to be playing in this game against England though I
don't actually know. I haven't seen the teams.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I even named the teams.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I know they've brought Jeff Archer over with them, but
I feel like he's the biggest blue balls player of
all time where you're always like, oh, Jeoffrey Archer is
going to play it, nat.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yeah, he was rubbish last time we smashed him around
a little bit Geoffrey Archers, So I think that's kind
of that that mystique has gone with her.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I mean he's slippery.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I wouldn't say he's probably the quickest bowler their face
for a while. Yeah, but for some reason he was
an effective last time he was out here.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I guess once you get past the gold chain, it's
a lot of a lot of the intimidation has gone,
you know, once that's out of your head a little bit. Yeah.
The thing is, my advice would be, if you're going
to face a guy like that, don't watch him bowl
before you go in, because that's that's how I got
out the st footage of me getting bowled out just
on Friday evening, and I got so in my head
(14:32):
because I saw the guy bowling before I went out there,
and he looked quick, and when I got out there,
he actually wasn't, but I was already in my head
about it has run up. He came in behind the umpire,
he hid behind the umpire and then he'd pop out,
put gunner and then bowl at it. And it freaked
me out. It was done too much pop up, like
(14:53):
in Sears. So I think we were debating. I think
maybe in the car the other day. I don't know
if you're with us or not, whether Will Young gets
a run in this game.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
I mean what's circling is that he's getting he's going
to get dropped for Williamson, which is unlucky for Will.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Unlucky for Will. But if you're going to get dropped
for anyone, you can probably stomach that. Yes, but then
it's like, well, how do you who else could you
potentially drop for him? It got down to jeez, do
you go Phillips Phillips? Well, but the thing is Phillips
is too useful. He's a real like obviously, he's a
handy fielder. He's a break glass in case of emergency bowler. Yes,
(15:35):
he could pick up the gloves if something would have happen.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
He's also, I.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Think we're discussing he's your T one player. Yeah, he
can field, he's a best fielder. Yeah, he's keecking bowl
and he can bat. He's a decent bowler.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
So he's your first T one pack in it. That's
really one competition, and.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I think he just needs to he needs to be
in the team because over five days weird shit happens
in a Test match, you know, and you need a
dude like him to make some weird shit happen. I
was wondering, like, and I'm sure there's a stat for it.
Cricket is great for nerd stuff and you know stats
and all that. I'd love to see a stat for
(16:12):
how many runs you prevented in the field. I know
it a bit of squirrely stat. I think they I
think they do do. Yeah, right, I'm sure they would
have something.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I think I've seen it before of like how many
runs that person's technically saved? Yeah, but then how do
you if someone canes it straight at you at cover
and you stop it? Yeah, is that counted as a
you've saved a four? Or does there have to be
some sort of movement?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It would be very hard. The only way I could
see it done would be in your like whatever eighth
of the ground how many runs were scored in that
match versus how many runs on average are scored you
know in your area. It wouldn't be a perfect stat, no,
but I think that's that would really favor Glenn Phillips.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah, yeah, he's I mean, you can't drop him. Unfortunately,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Who else you drop zippy from Rainbow?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
If you don't, I don't know, we'll just get He's
just going to have to carry the drinks. Unfortunately, the
man of the match wasn't in the series.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah in India.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, now, unfortunately he's got to carry the drinks.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Like Ajs Pattel came back with ten for. Yeah, never
played again until the next tour. Well, so he won't
play against India, will against England.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
He's going to be one of He's going to be
one of those. I mean, he already is a bottle
cap question with the with the ten for but he's
just going to be one of those. Whatever happened to
a Jess Battel.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
So I don't get him to he just doesn't play home.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, it just took a million wickets in India and
then they don't play him when he comes back over here.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
We should just create a dust ball. One of the
grounds should just be a dust ball. I'm saying Wellington,
just turn it, turn it into something at Turns Square.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
So when Australia and England come here, they're like, oh god,
I play at the basin and we just basically base
our all our spinners out of Wellington and so they
play all their domestic cricket there and then we just
have one game every tour where it's just turning square. Yeah,
we buy ag as a house. We just need to
fuck them up. You need we need to be missing
(18:07):
with touring teams. I think we're a bit too nice.
Everyone comes down here and they get a nice welcome
and you know, and you're having a good time. Do
you love New Zealand And then they say, yea new
zeud's great. To make it hostile totally, we used to
send them to Daneedin and start. Yeah, we just send
Pakistan down to Dunedin and November and that.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Freezer ursoles send the Windys down there. Also a man
wearing two beanies. Last time they came out.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
They basically bring their doubts from the hotel. Yes, they
wrapped themselves up hot water bottles and ship more stuff
like that. That's all we need.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Pictures severy recent Italy, but eleven of them sitting on
the sidelines on his the socks on his heads, just
absolutely dying. Yeah, we don't need to do a bit
more of that because there's no other sport that the
surface you play on has such a big impact. Yeah,
got any basketball quarter around the world hoops ten foot
off the ground, but cricket all around the world is
completely different. Jesus. What we looked up the there was
(18:59):
footage of Don Bradman's last innings. If you saw the
pitch that they were playing on, it looked like it
had just been shelled in the blitz. It was that
like pot holy and a man came out and boulder
wrong and at him on that pitch. I was like,
there should have been rules against that kind of shit.
So three game series, right, We've got christ Church, then
we're at.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
The basin, yes, and then in the tron So that's
we're heading the trim with the camel. That is that
is Tim Sowdy's last game add his home ground at
Craon Park because in Northern Districts, Yeah, Through and Through
is only only association he's ever played for. He's from
Northland though, right, Yeah, the Northland encapsulates Northern districts. Just
the little work quirk of cricket. It's like Central Districts
(19:43):
includes Nelson Marlborough.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I've never known what Central districts. Man, Central can't wrap
my head around.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Central districts as Hawk's Bay, Tartanaki and Nelson Marlborough.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Of course it is, of course it fucking is. That's
very cricket cricket. What does someone and Nelson have to
do with someone in Hawk's Bay. They don't even speak
the same language. So how do you think this series
is going to go? Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Like we've got We've got a bit of BDC coming
into this.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
We've got some confidence coming out of the Indian Series.
I think that'll help New Zealand. I think England aren't
aren't playing the.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Greatest I thing. They got rolled do they get rolled
by Sri Lanka recently?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
I can't remember, but it's one of those ones that's
always tied against England. I think they've got a strong
batting lineup. I don't know about so much about their
bowling just yet. They love these conditions, they love these conditions.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Well and from all accounts, Bears been showing them around,
showing them a great time here in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, I love Bears.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Their first destination Queenstown, Queenstown Casino, Queenstown Casino golf course,
Jack's Point. They played a warm up game in Queenstown.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Of cricket, Yeah, of cricket right against hurt plumbers.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Some plumbers and some yeah, some train lasers, some train
layers down in there. But yeah, Harry Plumber was saying, yeah,
they had a great time on the courses over around
Europe on their trip. Oh yeah, he said there was
a golf tour with a rugby got in the way.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That's yeah. Well that was actually one of my first
questions for him. Did he ever play some rugby when
the South African teams were still in He said, yeah,
he got one season there where he got to go
over and it was like the first two weeks of
the season the Blues would be over in South Africa.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, it's just a tour of the most.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Beautiful golf courses, yeah that South Africa has to offer.
But cricketers, cricketers are even are even worse for that.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
I also asked Harry who's the who's the biggest golf
hundi in the all blacks off? Ah, really he's the bigger.
He's the biggest goal nufty around. He's the absolute honey
here because he's got all he has to buy a
piece of memorability at every course he goes to Oh yeah,
so that's and you wouldn't want to You wouldn't want
(21:57):
to be calling him up on any etiquette, would you.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
No one. I reckon you would not be able to
find a man who says that they've seen off a
song of ussy kickers all that from behind the bush.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
You don't want to head up on him either, No, God, no, God,
no hit up on, head up on off as sorry man?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, your carden. The rounds over? So, yeah, so you
think this is going to be tight? Do you think
we win the first one here at Hagley?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Yeah? I reckon we win the first one.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
I reckon Wellington will be a different killer fish if
the pitch plays like it did last year.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Was the pitch?
Speaker 4 (22:29):
The Wellington pitch was a bit spicy last year and
started to turn on day one.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
So the Hamilton one was the confusing one for me. Yeah,
Glenn Phillips looked like fucking Shane Warnon for a couple
of overs there. I couldn't figure it out.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I think I think we win this one, and then
I think the second one is going to be potentially tighter.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
But I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
I haven't seen much of him playor I'm just going
purely on vibe.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Don't follow me in on any of that.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
No, no, no, that's well. The t ib just about
can't split them. Think when I last checked, we were
a dollar ninety, they were two ten, Okay, so it's
like no one can really split that. It's going to
it's going to be it's going to be exciting. I mean,
it starts on Thursday, so you've got the whole weekend
to just park up. Yeah, my missus is at work.
You will not get me.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Off that couch unless you're commentating on commentating it.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, I mean you're still on the couch. That's yeah,
that's all I was going to be doing anyway. So
I'm very much looking forward to that. Just one last
thing before we go, and we will have to cut
this one just a little bit short because of the
hit squad down here and Crush.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
It's going to come and they're mobilizing.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Come for our heads very shortly. Did you see. There's
been a lot of talk about relaxing the eligibility rules
for the all blacks, and this is because Raiser has
been asked about it, and he thinks that all blacks
should be able to pick from anyone from around the world.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Yeah, basically, it's funny he's changed his tune on that
because when he was a Crusaders coach, yes, so much.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
No, I know it's a good point, but he always
had that point about the like rest and rotation thing
that the All Blacks make the players doing super rugby.
He was just like, look, if I was the All
Black coach, I'd be all for it. But I'm the
Crusaders coach, so I hate it. Yeah, And so you
know he's he's at least open about how his allegiances
have switched.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
I don't know about the overseas players. I mean, part
of me is like, the best players should play for
the All Blacks. Yeah, that's that's a very simple way
of looking at it. But then does that jeopardize our league?
And I mean not that our league is robust anyway,
you know what I mean. I mean that they all
just go and play Japan.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Well, Beaver had a good point the other day on
whatever sports outlet that he works on. It was basically
just saying, well, that means that you're you're the kids
aren't going to get to see those players lay so
because you know when when the All Blacks are playing overseas,
it's very easy to miss a game when it's in
the middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Well, now, if you've got Richie mong or you've got
you know, Boden Barrett whoever, playing over overseas, but then
playing for the All Blacks, you'd be like, I.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Don't know, like hard to get behind, hard to get behind.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, because you see the point, it's like those South
African teams. I never knew who was playing for any
of those South African teams when they're in Super Rugby. Yeah,
because the time zone was so awful, you just never
watch the games. I couldn't even tell you where the
Bloody Stormers are from. Is it Cape Town?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
The Western Stormers now?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Is it's gwas so Yeah, So I think that's a
that's a good point. We were talking about the other day.
I don't think it was on the podcast, but a
rugby club championship, So I know they're doing something similar
over in the Middle East. I think from next year,
like a club challenge sort of thing. That would be
(25:38):
I reckon that'd be the way to do it because
you can still get the money in there, the players
can still play overseas, but we still have our local
comp So let's say we do Super Rugby and all
of our teams play themselves. Ozzie do their thing, South
Africa have their Carry Cup whatever, Argentina do it too.
In the top two go, then the top two go
and then we hash it out. I reckon that would work.
(25:59):
Do it fight Island here we come will so yeah,
I I I can't see them doing it for only
for one reason. It is the only bargaining chip New
Zealand rugby have is the black jersey. H and that's
the only thing that because we can't compete financially, so
that all these players want a bugger off, so they'll
(26:19):
never do it. They're also that's just the way New
Zealand rugby is always run and will always be run
as where the fucking all blacks. Yeah, everyone wants to play.
Every kid wants to be in all black. Whether it's
true or not, I don't know, but that's how they'll
be running.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
And it's only Richie moh, isn't it. That's the Catalyst's
let's be honest with ourselves. Yeah, he just wants he.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Wants Richie back. He's seeing him Booty calls.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Would yeah too every night?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yeah? Should we should do that thing again? Will we
won like seven competitions? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I mean he's just won the competition in Japan. He's
on a good work out, He's only playing for four
months a year.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I've put my foot in my mouth when I met
him at the start of this year when those All
Blacks games are on and I said to him, jeez mate,
when was the last you bloody lost the competition? He
goes the World Cup?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, so yeah, it's Shennon for sales. Next. Do you
want me to finish the.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah? And then man Shannon Frazell figured out how Fantasy
Rugby Union would work. Jesus, look at the state of
that opening Batsman and the Global Super League. My god,
they're rolling him out there.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
The Global Super League, Like what what is that?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Guyana x on mobile? All right, let's knock this thing
on the head for a Wednesday, We're going to shoot
down to Hagley. Oval Line's going to put his car
keys into the pit ye. And then we will be
back tomorrow to tell you what we found at the
ground yep, and give you some awful awful trips to
follow it. And we'll see then.
