Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the cricket field to the cow shed.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's the Country Sport Breakfast with Brian Kelly on gold Sport.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
They're talking cricket now. Black Caps have won their final
game of the World Cup. Sadly it wasn't the final
we were expecting a seven wicket went over tournament debutantes
P and G at the year in the nearly as
of this morning, in their final pool game after being
knocked out already in the tournament. One man that set
his alarm right and early was Mike Lane, captain of

(00:29):
the ACC commentary team, who called the game live on
Sky overnight.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Morning Julane Morning, b K. Yeah, the tournament has come
to the limp end for the black cat They finished
it off with a victory this morning, but overall pretty
disappointing if you're a Black Cats fan. I watched all
four of those games, every ball of every game, and

(00:55):
we're not used to it, are we, Because we do
perform really well at these ICC ton and this is
the first time in a very long time we haven't
qualified to the point the end of the tournament, which
is pretty hard pill to swallow.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Our bowling has been pretty good, but our batting has
been fairly abysmal. Really, hasn't it over the course of
the tournament?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Yeah, it has. I mean the pitches are terrible. You've
got to be You've got to look at some of
the pitches. The ones in Trinidad. There they are. I
mean it's low. It's either slow or it pops off
a lenk. There's a bit of turn there. It's been
one of these tournaments that has been heavily favored the
bowlers and exposed a lot of the batting. But you're right,
we did. I mean everyone's been talking about the preparation

(01:39):
for this t twenty and blaming the lack of warm
up games, but it's hard not to look past that
because I felt that they that New Zealanders thought the
pool games were going to be their warm up and
they'll hit that hit the super eights running. That's what
it seems like. But it all came unstuck when Afghanistan
humped them in game one and then it was like,
oh God, we're going to have to be the West

(02:00):
Indies now, and then they slipped that game up and
it was just slipped away from them.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
We're not used to having losses like that, are we?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
No, that it's awful. I don't have to view with it.
We've started the black Cap Support of Support Group BKA,
where you know, we get together and we book we
booked scout halls and school halls and we get together
and we talk about how the black Caps have heard
us in the past, and you know, and we talk
about how we can move on. So there'll definitely be
some black Caps Support of support groups and meetings going on.

(02:27):
This morning we.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Talked about the bowling Lockie Ferguson. I mean he was
actually brilliant start with the ball, three wickets for no
runs in his four overs and that they're the best
ever figures in World Cup history.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, it's a phenomenal effort from we call him the
fucking Marner Express Locky Ferguson. He was magnificent. That is
the best that I think. The other only player to
do that was a Canadian and a Tier two match
where held four mateens he got two wickets, But this
isn't a World Cup four overs, no runs, three wickets.
It was an extraordinary spell from Lockie Ferguson. Probably the

(03:03):
only highlight of this tournament was that spell this morning
against Papa New Guinea because it was slim picking everywhere.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Else, mind you, Papa, New Guinea aren't exactly you know,
big names in world cricket. This was their debut, wasn't
it in the World Cup?

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah? It was, I mean yeah, yeah. Teams like themselves
in Uganda you'd expect to beat and he's comfortably beat them.
But they just didn't perform when they needed to against
the West Indies and Afghanistan unfortunately. And they'll be hitting
the golf course probably this afternoon and then headed home and.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Trent Bolta probably his last team, will at least his
last T twenty match for New Zealand, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah. He avoided the question at the end of the
match from Laura McGoldrick, who said, obviously your last game
in the T twenty World Cup is at the last
time we'll see you in a silver fern, and he
avoided the question by saying, I can't really comment on that,
so it would be said it would be sad if
that's the last time we see Trent bolt In playing
for New Zealand, because how good would it be to

(04:05):
see him coming up against England later in the year
for those three Test matches and even seeing him over
the summer hopefully, hopefully not because lovely trendy is is.
He's great to watch.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
And he knows how to take a week or two. Hey,
looking into your crystal ball. Then Gulane Gary Stead. Can
you see him in charge of the side of the
next T twenty World Cup which is in Sri Lanka
Inn dso again challenging pictures.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, I don't know, I mean, sok Hea, he's going
to cop a bit of grief for the fact of
the lack of preparation from this because in the end
it does come down to the management and how they
prepare for tournaments. So he's going to have to face
the music on that. And New Zealand have always run
for the one coach cost three formats. We're not a
big fans of splitting the roles, unlike other countries who

(04:51):
seem to slot that out. But it might be a
time to change. Yes, save that and the likes I mean,
we've got such great coaches around the world, got likes
of Stephen Fleming, Keen Vert Tory, Brendan McCallum. There's even
James Franklin who's helping out the West Indies at the
moment in this T twenty World Cup. We've got some
great coaches out there with massive amounts of knowledge. It's

(05:11):
just whether we can get them to come back and
coach their home country. But I don't think he will
be for the next T twenty. I think I think
we'll have to be a change in coaches and formats
moving forward, particularly after our performance on this in this
particular World Cup.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Who are you picking to win this this this World Cup? Mate?

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Well, it's hard to look past Australia. I know, I
hate to say that, but I hate to say that.
They look good. They got so much debts.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
A though yesterday they struggled.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Well not what they still but they just relied on
the likes of Stowness and Travis to bring them home.
You know, the lose a few wickets. They're so annoying.
Got to hate Australian I hate the way they play
cricket because you had them on the rope and then
out comes like outcomes stillness and knocks around a forty
and wins a game for them just when you think
you've got them on the road. So they're going to
be hard to be. That's the team that's going to

(06:01):
be hard to be. I think India and the knockouts
is going to be tough, so I'm picking a kind
of Australia India final, but Australia we'll clean it up.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Well, you've worked hard over night, so time for a
dB expert now and then you can go to bed
and have a big sleep matek thanks for joining us.

the game Matt last night on Skysport
