Speaker 1 (00:05):
Just for one day.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Welcome back to the muster Logan Savy out of the
South and Tribune joins us this afternoon. Did they say
how are you?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yeah? Good, Andy, all good with me?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, the Tribune. We've just about gone through another year.
Everything looks as U has been pretty busy.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
It has been a bit going on around the place,
both on the sporting front and obviously and other matters
as well. So yeah, look we're just about to put
another another year to bed. But yeah, it's been a
few weeks ago I thought, oh, I thinks are sort
of winding down sporting wise, but there's still have been
a bit going on.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
It was a bit going on. And straight off the
calf we've got Jacob Duffy getting his maiden fifer and
only his second Test match as well against the West
Indies and christ Church and this is just one for
the good guys.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, absolutely, look at it is a great story in it,
a great story of persistence, you know. Twenty twelve, his
debut as a seventeen year old for the Vaults, bat
all the way for a long time. Obviously got a
bit of taste of international cricket in the white ball format,
but I think even he is himself confessed he thought
(01:14):
that maybe the Test call up may elude him. You know,
he sort of sat aside behind Bolt and see how
the wagoner and the lights for a long time got
that Test in Zimbabwe in August, got a Test match.
There was a lot of sort of thought, well, you know,
maybe will he be a one Test sort of wondering.
(01:35):
You know, there's guys like a rock in that around.
Played really well in that white ball series against West Indies.
Obviously still a few injuries around with the bowling the front,
but really deserved a spot in this first Test against
the West Indies and then delivered on the job. You
start getting that five work at Hall and I believe
(01:55):
the first and only South And did you get fired
Test Berg? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
No, Alabasta, Is there anything anyone like that?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
So Jackie Alabasta his best bowling figures was a full
fair and Test cricket back in nineteen fifty eight, eight
of all things. So I looked that up and if
someone wants to correct me a wrong, but I can't
find anyone else.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I think a man of your knowledge save I'd say
you're on the money there, But look like you say
he debuted back in twenty twelve. He played for the
Vaults in that final Indoneda and since then he's just
plugged and plugged away and plugged away and it was
all a bit perseverance. But it also brings into the
equation for me, did Tim Salvey? He went down on
(02:39):
his own terms? But is it a good thing for
New Zealand cricket to do that? When you've got these
young guys coming through you got a wonder sometimes.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, well Tim Selvey certainly wasn't those best and light
in my piece? And you could you could argue now
that a guy like a Jackob Duffy, you know, I
have got an other pitch on thinking himself.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But it's relevant as well. It's a good conversation and
they need to have.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Absolutely I'm probably deserved. I mean, towards the end of
Tim Soui's career he was put a bowling you late
one twenties, still swinging the ball a little bit, but
wasn't that effective. What's been really impressive with what Jacob's
done is he's increased his speed over recent years but
still how to swing and that's what's made him such
(03:25):
an effective player. Now, you know, he's consistently around that
late one thirties mark, and also in that white Ball
series was tipping over one forty a bit as well,
and as I said, still swinging it. So yeah, potentially
you could argue that someone like him deserved to go earlier.
That's not taking anything away from what's how he'd done
in his career, but sometimes, yeah, you've got to be
(03:48):
willing to make some tough calls late in people's careers,
don't you.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Now. The Rugby World Cup drawer came out last night.
This is peculiarly you we're two years out from the event,
but it's already done and dusted, the l black straw.
It's a tough one, let's be honest. If they want
to win the Rugby World Cup twenty twenty seven, Australia, okay,
Hong Kong and Chile put a line through them, but
the Yazies were going to have to beat. But then
it's a possible showdown with the Spring Parks and England
(04:13):
comes into the equation as well.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yeah, well that's right. It was a weird thing to
sort of stumble across last night, this lord Rugby World
Cup draw and I wasn't actually aware that it was
going on, and it was a bit of weird television
to watch for it was interesting. In the same point,
I think the initial address was that we drew the
same pool as Australia and that potentially sets up a
(04:37):
World Cup opener against Australia, which will add some interest.
But then yeh, as things dug a bit deeper and
realize that we're on track for a potential quarter final
against South Africa. Look, we're two years away, but if
the World Cup has played tomorrow, it feels like South
Africa at the moments as a bit of a length
(04:59):
of Australia on us in terms of where they are at.
So that's going to, you know, potentially set up a
really tough assignment then, and even as you mentioned England,
I think probably potentially South Africa and England are the
two best teams in the world at the moment, although
France may even come under that picture as well. So
I suppose that people will say that if we're going
(05:22):
to win the World Cup, you have to beat South
Africa at some at some stage potentially, so we'll have
a crack in the quarterfinal.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Potentially you got three big games to win the angement
goes of Australia. Though there's a few rugby league players
in limbo at the moment because our three sixty hasn't
got on the ground. Mark Nolla Cottino was is coming
back over to rugby union. That guy has been he's
been superb at rugby league, but he's just as good
as at union. Imagine if a few of these guys
like see Zach Lomax or whoever actually came into the Wallabies.
(05:52):
He's a big, robust guy, perhaps chuck him in the
inside centers at first five and that could be the
silver bullet the Wallabies need to ignite that backline.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I think you make a really good point in your andy.
I think they'll be there'll be a better team in
two years time. They probably they need to find said
on the first five, so they can find a first five.
But as you said, I wouldn't surprise me. You know
Zach Glomax ends up popping up in the next World Cup.
You know they've already they've actually already got a bit
(06:22):
an attack out wide that they seem to fizzle towards
the end of the year, that that Lions series may
be caught up on them. A bit towards the back
end of the year when they went over to the
to the UK. But yeah, I think you're right that
they won't be a push overcome that pool game, so
that you know that could potentially change the whole thing
(06:44):
as well.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Absolutely good on you say, I've always appreciate your time
and keep up the great work with the South and Tribune.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Good Man Archies, Andy laugh out loud with ad Proud
because life on the land can be a laughing matter.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
