Speaker 2 (00:21):
Welcome to the Mat and Tyler Afternoons on zb ACC
head Mania Stewart Mate, we'll discuss the cricket motion.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
And thank you very much for the promotion to I'll
be approving my own pay rise after this.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
We're in a difficult position now because Cain Williamson is
on ninety four and that's a difficult time to discuss
cricket because you don't want to compliment the man. You
don't really want to mention anything about it because we'll
be blamed he doesn't make it.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
And this is something that the a SEC has faced
a lot of criticism over the years about, is the
level and frequency with which we dish out commentators curses.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
So it is.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It's funny. Once you get into the situation, the commentary
becomes quite difficult because you don't want to say anything
lest he's dismissed in the next ball and it's your fault.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's difficult to commentate a cricket fix you without ever
complementing your team so man and I we're leading by
four hundred and twenty four runs. How far do you
think we'll push that?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah, I mean obviously five hundred's the first thing that
comes into your mind. But you're gonna remember this is
day three and they're going to play till about seven
o'clock tonight because of the rain delay. And this English team,
I mean, if ever there was a team that could
chase down five hundred, it's probably this team. So I
wonder if these boys are going to try and bat
for time as opposed to a particular score. I mean,
(01:40):
you look, we're two twenty for three in this inning,
so we've got plenty in the hutch. And that two
twenty for three you're gonna remember is Willow Rourke, who
was a night watchman, so it's really two twenty for two.
So I think they're going to try and stay out
there for as long as possible. And there's, of course
the interesting case of being Tim Soudy's last game. Yeah,
currently sitting on ninety eight sixes. Yes, so if we
(02:03):
declare and don't allow Tim Southey in his last game
to try and hit two sixes, which sounds crazy and
juvenile and outside of the spirit of Test cricket. But
if we don't allow that, I'll be furious. No, well,
it's own patriotic, isn't it. I mean he is one
of the record as we see another six there Williamson,
and he's brought up the ton is that the times
(02:23):
the time I've done it with a sex and that's
really led us off the hook. We can now talk
about it partnership.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
That's century thirty three for Cain Williamson, I believe, And
just how much do we love that man? You can't
love him anymore? Every innings he gives us something to
love more and a very subdued, classically subdued celebration. How
much straight back on, let's get back into it. But
you're right, Tim Souvey. I think if we see Tim
(02:51):
Souvey come out in the next couple of work, it's
that sort of an indication that we're about to But
he because like you said, he's on ninety eight career
Test sixes. If he goes to one hundred, he will.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Then be third all time behind Ben Stokes and Be's
McCallum both in the ground. Yeah, but also he isn't
a batsman, so his percentage of sixes to balls faced
is astronomical compared to everyone else. Well, it's ridiculous. It's
when you're grown up as a kid, all you want
to do is bowl fast and hit sixes, and that's
(03:22):
exactly what he's done in his career.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
But as in New Zealander, sometimes we've wished that he
hadn't gone out and just tried to smash sixes and
maybe stuck around at the crease a little bit longer.
I think he averages about seventeen balls and innings.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Something like that, but I think that's a hangover from
the bas era as well, because Bears just told the
tail enders, look, you suck at betting, you're not a
good better, so go out there and just have a heave.
You know, you might as well score twelve quick runs
and then get out.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Speaking of a heave, came Williamson just followed up that
six with a four to move to one hundred and four.
So look, we're looking very good. But as you say, England,
with their Bears ball ways, we want to have at
least five hundred on them. I do wonder if perhaps
you know, there's been rumors coming from around the country
at various flash golf courses that these boys, the single
(04:08):
team have been really enjoying their golf over the last
few weeks. I've heard rumors that their target each game
has been to be done by the third day. I
did hear in that last test that they had a
tea time booked on the fifth day, So I just
wonder if maybe there's a bit of fatigue sitting it
in the English team. Yeah, well, they paid the deposit
and you can't get that back at the flash golf
(04:30):
courses so much. Sam and I Stewart And if you
see a camel when you were watching the footage that
was sent down there by the ACC to celebrate Tim
Southy and his final game, He's known as the Sexy camel,
and I think it's been a great celebration for him. Yeah,
ugly camel.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
We've had a lot of feedback on the camel. The
main of the camel is underneath its neck as opposed
to on the top, and camel's actually don't have top teeth,
but this one does.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, but it's got a weird to pay on its
hump as well. But anyway, come on, the black Caps
give a taste of Kiwi.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, good to see you mate.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It is twenty seven past three.
