Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the sports field to the shearing shed. It's the
Country Sport Breakfast with Brian Kelly on Gold Sport.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, the land of Hope and Glory will be hoping
that they'll be bathed in glory this time tomorrow morning,
England playing the Netherlands and the semifinals of the Euro's
Talk Sport Cricket, editor and presenters the follow On Cricket podcast,
joins me this morning, John, Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
How are you Yeah, I'm good. I'm good, BK. I'm
actually watching a decent game of football for the first
time at quite some time, Spain against France in the
semi final, first semifinal of two. As you say, England
taking the on Netherlands tomorrow and Spain has really been
head and shoulders above everybody else in the tournament so far,
coming from a goal behind against France. Yamao sixty. I
(00:57):
don't know what you were do in BK when you
were sixteen, but scoring wonder goals a major football tournament,
I'm guessing wasn't wasn't one of the things that you
were getting up to. But that's what's occurred tonight. And
Spain for themselves too, went up absolutely brilliant game of football,
and of course, whoever wins this takes on the winner
(01:17):
of England versus Netherlands tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I think when I was sixteen I might have been scoring,
but it wasn't goals. So do you think England's going
to get on against the Netherlands.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Well, I mean, I don't know, is the answer. England's
England have been so poor and boring to watch, but
somehow conjured up these magic moments. Be it Jude Bellingham's
bicycle kick in the game against who wasn't now I
can't even I can't even remember who who. That's how
(01:50):
That's how tedious it's been. Slovakia, the penalties, flawless penalties
against Switzerland, a brilliant goal by Bakery count just when
in the eightieth minute when sitzeran Will wandering up as
well to take it extra time. So there's been these moments,
but in and amongst that, it's just been so tedious
to watch. The Netherlands, on the other hand, well, they
(02:13):
came into the tournament. People weren't really talking about them
too much. They look like they and they are always
posing a threat, but they didn't seem to have much
in front of goal. But Memphis to Pine Cody Gakpov
both played really well, So yeah, it's going to be
It's going to be another tight game. You imagine you
wouldn't be surprised. It wouldn't be a surprise if it
(02:35):
goes to penalties again. I mean England before the tournament
would have semi fine against Netherlands. There will be heavy
favorites to win. They probably still are man to man.
English should be Netherlands. But I don't know, it's going
to be a really close one. I just hope that.
I just hope there's a little bit more free flowing
(02:58):
than any of the games we've seen involving in in
the tournament so far.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
All right, just go to Wimbled and where rain has
interrupted things over the last few days and im Imrinkano
knocked out of wimbled And by a Kiwi a couple
of days ago.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, absolutely a key WE qualifier as well. I mean,
you know, I grew up in an era. I think
we talked about this last week when you know, you
just didn't get English tennis champions or even performers, to
be honest, Tim Henman was the first one, and you
know he didn't really ever come close to challenging for
a major. He never got to I think he got
(03:33):
to one final. Maybe the US Open memories doesn't serve
too well. But yeah, same with New Zealand. To be
honest with you, I can't say that New Zealand and
tennis is something that really goes together and the way
it does with rugby and cricket and sailing and rowing
and you know, all sorts of other sports. So it
(03:54):
wasn't somewhat of a surprise after emmea at Kanu had
had such a great first week in the tournament, you know,
got knocked out by a qualifier. She of course won
the US Open as a qualifier, didn't she, So so
you never know. But unfortunately, your your plucking lady got
knocked out a couple of hours ago herself. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Absolutely, Well, at least you know, with Tim Henman, they
named a hill after him. So that's something special, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Well, I'll tell you what your your key wee tennis
player's son. It's the only appearance of the sun that
we've seen in the last week, So it's a it's
the same to see her go. Really, yeah, is it
all right?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Listen to a cricket and Jimmy Anderson sit to play
his final, his final Test.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, I was at Lord's today and I'm going to
be there for the Test match. I was there yesterday
with Jimmy Anderson, spoke to the press and something he
never he never really liked doing, certainly didn't like doing
it this time either. Let's be honest, he doesn't want
to retire. He's still good enough to be in the
side for this Test and the rest of the summer,
(04:57):
perhaps even the rest of the winter. But a call
of has been made that England need to get themselves
in a good position for the Ashes at the end
of next year and also India when they tour England
in twenty twenty five. And so Jimmy Anderson is one
of what four players have had the tap on the
shoulder Johnny Bearstow's outside he may never play for England again,
(05:19):
Ben Folks, Jack Leach, Ollie Robinson and Jimmy Anderson being
the most famous of them all. Do you know he
made his debut Lords in two thousand and three. Wow,
so that's twenty one years ago. He's going to bow
out the same ground one hundred and eighty nine Tests,
seven hundred Test wickets, can you believe. So he's had
(05:40):
an absolutely world beating career and he may well be
sad and disappointed and disillusioned a bit that you know,
it's come to an end here, but there aren't many
cricketers that get to bow out on their own terms.
And at least the weather looks like it's going to
be kind for the next five days, so you know,
for one final time we can all come together to
(06:00):
witness the wizardry of jimiy Anderson.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Love watching him at bay Over when the Poms were
here last time he was he was great all right.
And finally just a quick thoughts on that England and
the All Blacks the first tist and one.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
More to go. Yeah, got up and watched the game.
Missed opportunity, I think that's the great that's the feeling
in this part of the world. Huge opportunity to come
up against All Black side, that new coach, new players,
you know, the retirement of what five or six mainstays
in the side. All Blacks hadn't played any rugby for
a long long time. England of course, have played more
(06:35):
competitive rugby since the World Cup then and if not
for dare I say, a few missed opportunities from the
boot of Marcus Smith, then England would have won. It's
as simple as that. That's the feeling here. And now
to go to Eden Park where of course, you guys,
I don't think you've lost in thirty years, which is
even longer than Jimmy Anderson's been around. It's going to
(06:59):
be an asking and the problem is is that whilst
England might be better, I think we're all expecting New
Zealand to be better as well, so it'll be really
good to watch. It's a shame it's not a three
match series actually, but yeah, missed opportunities is a feeling here.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
All right. Well, good luck to the England football team
tomorrow and the Euros against the Netherlands. John always good
to catch up. We'll do it again next week.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
