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 (00:07):
Well, let's talk cricket now. Sri Lanka have the advantage
after four days of the first cricket Test against New
Zealand and gall black Caps are two hundred and seventh eighth.
They're chasing two hundred and seventy five for victory. Ratchan
Ravendra the savior. He is on ninety one not out
alongside AJS Battel, with Willow Rourke still to come. New
Zealand have lost their previous four Tests at goal dating
(00:29):
back to nineteen ninety eight. I don't think a Kiwi's
ever got a ton there joining us on the CSB
this morning form of black Cap Craig coming, who's played
in Sri Lanka as well.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Morning Craig, morning BK here you go.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah, good mate. Have you played on that ground and Gaul?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I've been twelfth nine I went there. I'm trying to
think what year it was. I think it would have
been two thousand and five. No, it was after that actually,
but I swapped man beautiful ground and it was the
first Test after they had the Tsunamis and they readid
it all up and they readed the change rooms and
it was quite an emotional time year. So lovely ground,
(01:04):
you guess you can see from the footage and the
scenery fantastic. And yeah, it's not an easy place to play.
It's a lot hotter than it looks, even though you're
on the coast. And obviously the conditions are very tough
and as we've seen Sherilanka play very well there, the
black Caps are fort hard bk. They you know. I
was watching last night. I've been painting for the last
(01:25):
five days, so I was sitting on the couch and
couldn't move and I love watching. Came when he was
in play spin and I just thought he was plodding
on a bit of a clinic actually, and then sort
of not out of nowhere, but he's looking to dominate
length and beautifully bald and got stumped and that's when
I went on, revenge is so tough, but we just yeah,
(01:45):
we just needed one other. We needed one other. Partnership blundled.
They were starting it, but they are rude the fact
that they couldn't get a hundred run lead in that
first thing because they had the opportunity to do BK.
They had to. You know, if they had one hundred
run lead, you're chasing what two hundred and you know
it's going to be tough. But thought very tough, really well.
But Shrimanker good side as we've seen at home.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, so Rachen Ravendra, he's on ninety one. If he
gets the tone, will be the first key to actually
do that in Sri Lanka Ani.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, not easy. Is it really really tough, especially at
Gaul so played beautifully. I didn't watch all of it BK.
It was got a bit late for me, but reading
the things this morning, he's a good player and you
know developed nicely against split. And let's not forget Patel.
You know, I think his last four Test and things,
he's got something like twenty two or twenty three Test
(02:33):
wickets BK. But there's been about eighteen months in between tests.
He got fourteen obviously in Mumbai and then now back
that up with another really good performance. So yeah, he
started to bowl beautifully. You really did he What he
does so well Patel is his length as impeccable and
he just starts once he gets that link, he starts
playing around with his pace and a little bit of
(02:55):
his vine. And we saw yesterday how good he is
and that just comes from bowling, comes from getting confidence,
and it comes from getting used to the condition. So
he gave us a chance. But unfortunately, probably they just
got too many, or we just needed one more better
to stand up.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Do you think we can do it?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
What do we need?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Sixty sixty?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
What does it go to do?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Sixty eight runs, two wickets remaining.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Nah, it'd be advantage, she lanka. Hey, but you know
Rutchans betting well, wondering about eight. He's tough, he's a
real competitor. Well O'Rourke. I don't know a lot about
his batting. I don't think it's great, but hey, you
know Rutchans is going to have to score forty five
of them. So I hope he sleeps well. I hope
he sleeps well. And yeah, it's but it's going to
(03:42):
be in thralling and we'll be sitting there watching it today.
Luckily you know nothing on tonight when it comes to
coaching for me. So we can get down and atlet's
count every rundown, let's put it because would be a
pretty historic victory.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Oh absolutely, I mean where they can play a bit
in it too. And we saw yesterday the rain came in.
I've never seen so many ground staff in all my
life at a cricket ground.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's the first time I've ever seen it. Over there.
They literally cover the whole outfield. They've just all of
a sudden, ground sheets come from everywhere. They've got a
lot of young kids helping out, and they just run
year they just cover it all and what's even amazing
at hoses down and then they just get them off
just as quick. So you know it's the factually start
to see when you see it for the first time,
(04:22):
and they'll be pretty keen not to lose any time.
But we do know over there at the moment things
are tiding up when it comes to the weather, but
the rain can come in pretty quickly. Who does that
suit not really sure. Now we just want the ball
maybe to get a little bit wet and then maybe
it doesn't dry grip as much, but it's going to
be throwing at the grip, so hopefully, hopefully ruch And
(04:43):
can do the job for us. But yeah, i'd say
at the moment advantages chilling Craig.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Do you think any players have played their way out
of the side for the next Test.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I suppose Mitch Setna hasn't been as effective as we'd
like and when it comes to you know, maybe with
the bat, so someone like Michael Bracewall, we're playing two
part time spinners and well we've got sorry, you know,
Rutchian and then Phillips. But maybe they would look to
because he didn't get the return of the bat Satne.
(05:14):
You can bring in bracefall and just gives you that
little point because I will with the left arm spin
obviously for tail showing and then ruts and we've end
up with three, so maybe there's an opportunity for bracefall.
I think there'll be changes throughout because it's very hard
even though raw. The question will be do they want
to keep pushing him into the ground. Good thing is
he's had a break and he's not bold on the
(05:34):
last day, so I'd say they'll be managing their bowlders.
But to me it might be braceful for Satna. Will
be the conversation, and let's talk.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
About the white ferns and Nausie overnight that seems they
seem to be going from bad to worse, losing again.
Do you hold any hope for the up and coming
T twenty World.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Cup for them tough hope, always had hope BK part
of optimism, but it's getting tough, yeah, I think. I mean,
it's not Australia the best team in the world, but
we've got to play them in India and the world captain.
We've got to beat one or both to try to
try and go through to the next round. You know,
they obviously bold well again I didn't watch all of it.
(06:12):
They're bold well, but you know, chasing one forty never
going to be easy, but you know to only get
through to one seventeen will be disappointment. No one can
get any strike rate going. They are far too many
dot balls. If you look at betters when they come
out there often their first two or three bulls they
face the dots. And if you're having Asian nine players
facing you know, two or three dots earlier in their innings,
you know you're up to thirty or forty before you
(06:33):
even get going. So they need to find a little
bit of confidence, they need to find a little bit aggression,
and they need to find a way to put Australia
bowlers under pressure. But they can do that yep. As
I say, you always got hope, BK. But at the
moment you know it's it's it's a sliding hope. There's
probably probably more hope that when the black Cat's getting
sixty on the last day, then maybe maybe the White
friends getting.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Up spoken like a true cricket coach. Craig got on,
you're made nice to chat like.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I thanks for b K.
