Country Sport Breakfast Live ad Field Days The Country Sport
Breakfast with Brian Kelly on Gold Sport. We're talking cricket
now the T twenty World Cup. Do we really have
to black Caps? I've all been eliminated from this year's
tournament coming off a first up drubbing Behy Afghanistan. We've
gone now by thirteen runs to go host the West

(00:22):
Indies and Trinidad yesterday. Brian Moneld, voice in New Zealand Cricket,
joins us this morning morning Wards.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Can it be well? We might still be there if
Papa and he can get up over Rafphanistan today. But
you know, I forget's test incredibility to do great through that.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
First sixteen overs yesterday, the first inning, I thought the
black Caps looked really good. The bowling was on song.
We were skittling them.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
What went wrong, Well, he'd run out of pace options.
He used the seam bowlers and they've done an outstanding job.
I mean, the economy rate was brilliant. Bolt was going
for four and over SALVII fives, Ferguson and Nisham and
it was just the I suppose you could say the

(01:08):
misuse of spin. It would have been nice to have
had Satner a little early, but who's going to bowl
the last over nine down? Some bloke who's got a
lot of power swing at everything that came along. It
was going to be a tough ask. One hundred and
twelve for nine. They were in that game and basically
looking winners, but it was those last two overs nineteen
and twenty thirty seven runs and that meant that fifty

(01:31):
five or fifty six came off the last five and
New Zealand's batting at the moment isn't confident enough to
chase down that sort of target.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
All up, you know, the two games we've had so far,
I mean, you know, has it been a selection problem?
Has been lack of time together as a team? What
do you think our problem has been?

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Well, mainly preparation because they weren't an efficient organization. They
weren't playing as though they were a well oiled unit.
And you know when you've got a situation of players
who've been injured coming back here they good players Alan
and the Conway, but they're just short of game time
and match practice is basically what has cost them, and

(02:16):
they weren't able to put the runs together that were needed.
You know, Revender got to start, Alan got to start.
Williamson well, another disappointing not from him. He hasn't had
a lot of match play in terms of putting on
a fact, so all very well to be in the
net that he hasn't played match cricket. And you know

(02:38):
it was left to Phillips and the center down the order.
But by that stage it was just getting a little
bit too late. They were behind the asking rate and.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Of course that passionate West Indian crowd, it was great
to see the look on their faces, celebration of their
team getting up and winning.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, and it wasn't a fullhouse, but there was a
good number of them there and the Trinidad has always
a very passionate face. Twinidad and Barbados are where the
crowd are really given behind the West and East Side,
and they had cause to do so. You know, when
you're on a winning run, that's the sort of thing
that helps a side like the West and he's they're aside,
built on confidence. They've got a belief that they've got

(03:17):
some power hit and they certainly had them. But they
were able to do it buoyed on by a crowd.
You know, thirty seven off the last two hovers. It
happened too often.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Do you think it's time, when you stealing cricket to
split up the coaching jobs and have just say a
T twenty coach rather than Darry Stead doing everything.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Well, it's certainly a point of contention that they could
look at. I haven't really thought about it enough, but
the more T twenty cricket that's being played, there may
well be a need to do that. And you know
have sort of Gary Stead as the overall manager of
the coaches. You know, you look around the domestic sides,

(04:01):
there are certain coaches have a responsibility for the T
twentdis and the ODIs under the head coach in you
know and say Wellington and northern districts in Auckland and
stuff like that. They are using up the coaches, So
it is a possibility that could be considered. You know,
it may be getting to a stage where it's getting

(04:23):
a little bit closer than we think because we're not
playing a lot of Test cricket at the moment and
so the coaching staff are basically doing ODIs and T
twenties anyway.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah, you can't take any side lightly. I mean we
only have to look at the results coming out of
this tournament. We've got Ugender I think tomorrow. Then after
that it's Papa and New Guinea and again we can't
take them lightly, can we.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well not now, but it doesn't really matter because we're
going nowhere in this tournament. If the Afghanistan, Papua New
Guinea GME goes ahead. But I think they've really got
to go out there in those games and look and
try and be roofed us in the way they play.
You know, it'll mean the use of somebody like East Sody,

(05:06):
who has been hardly used at all, well, hasn't been
used in the games, has been used in practice and
using the spin abilities that they have. But it's just
a matter of getting back unto the belief in their
ability to play the game. You know, semiviolists in the
last two runners up in one of the tournaments as well.

(05:28):
You know New Zealand has lost its.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Way and I mean it's been a tour little bit
of upset and you only have to look at England.
I mean, England are now playing Iman and England are
hanging on by the skin of their teeth, aren't they.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, Well, they're requiring run rate to play in the
their favor, and it wasn't helped by Josh Hazel making
not a well informed comment about the run rate and
trying to manufacture a run rate in the game against
the unfancied opposition. So yeah, they're been surprised. But you know,

(06:01):
if you don't get your winds early, you're always chasing
the game. And New Zengland are chasing the game. England
are chasing the game, so do my parks town.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Right, I want well, thank you for joining us this morning.
I'll let you go back and watch that England game
and we'll talk again soon.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Enjoy the weather, mate,
