The Country Sport Breakfast with Brian Kelly on Gold Sport.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It's in and out.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
That's the chance and it's down. Shouts of catch it. Oh,
that's a big drop.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
There's a chance here once again another one baild failed
Takeoh dear, there's another opportunity, another one down up in
the air again again it Gold's down, Oh dear. Catches
one matches, New Zealand has beaten Pakistan by fifty four runs.
Whitefoon posted one hundred and ten for six after deciding
(00:37):
to bat, and that included eight dropped catches by Pakistan,
seven fours and no sixers for New Zealand. Susi baits
top score with twenty eight off twenty nine balls and
they dismissed their opponents for fifty six, with spinner Mealy
Kerr taking three for fourteen from two and a half
or two point four overs. New Zealand came into the
(00:58):
event via ten consecutive losses to England and Australia dating
back to March. So joining us on the show This Morning,
Otago Sparks head coach and part time standing for me
when I'm not here, Craig Coming Morning, Craig Morning, b
K here ghak oh, good mate. Catchers weren't matches, don't they.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, I wouldn't be throwing the toast or the butter
to the pakistanis if you're going breakfast tomorrow morning, would
you are they? I mean eight catches, It's unbelievable. There's level,
you know, and you know, not not taking away from
the White friend's brilliant, brilliant that they've they've got through
the semi finals, but it's probably turned out we've probably
ended up and maybe the easier Paul when you think
(01:38):
about not having to go through, you know, with South
Aska and the West Indies and the other side of things.
But yeah, that's just I just don't get eight catches unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, Pakistan generally a very good team women's cricketers or
is it not so big in Pakistan?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
That's growing. I mean they beat us over here now
to be feed. I't think we played very well before Christmas.
But the one thing that stood out when they're over
here BK was their fielding. They were ener jedik, they
were aggressive along the field. They took some wonderful catches.
You know, there's an orion hadn't there and they turned up.
But that and that's what stood out, it really did.
(02:18):
It stood out before when they were here it was
their fielding. So wow, yeah, not a great look, but hey,
it doesn't matter for us. Went to the semi finals
and an opportunity to just never know what could happen
from here.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
So, Craig, what's changed with the White fans? I mean,
coming off ten straight losses virtually heading into this tournament,
were now in the semi finals.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, the fact that we probably played England in Australia
and in those ten games has not been easy to
mean they're two semi finals, haven't they? So and you know,
we really should be better. What's probably helped us We
we're battled when it comes to scoring runs, big runs,
so like high score, so getting around that one sixty
one seventy, But when it comes to playing here in
(03:03):
this tournament, lower scores have more beneficial So it's probably
suited our betting and our bowling is very good. We've
always said it all along, you know, and Eden Carson
has been given opportunities and she's found a form merely
qu has been very good. So by having smaller totals
or tougher conditions has probably bought the other batting packs
closer to us. Also, we turned up and beat India
(03:25):
which was which was a big win. And since then
we have yes, we've had to beat Schlanka and Pakistan.
I probably they've probably been slightly disappointing to be fair,
but insade that we can't criticize if they're not winning
then and then running down the opposition when they out
they've done exactly what we've needed to do and they've
got a chance. We should be getting to the semi finals. BK.
We want to get to the semifinals. That shouldn't be
(03:48):
we shouldn't be looking at things and going you know,
that's a great, great result, you know, based on our
last maybe six months to a year, it is a
good result, but it's also a market we want to
have in place.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It looks like we've maybe playing England in the semi clash.
Can we beat them? I know they've beaten us a
few times recently.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, I mean that's the challenge. But what what's good
is the other team that's beatn US you know consecutive
you know over there end here, So you know, we
only have to do a lot, right because they are
a very good side. They've got very good spinners, they've
got very good bed is, they've got a lot of experience.
But hey, take them on, you know, take them on.
I mean they all expected to beat us, but that
(04:27):
also creates pressure. Let them know that they should they
are expected to beat us. Let them know that they're on.
They've got the big dogs and will cricket. They've got
some of the best players in the world, and say,
if you lose to us, well then that's a a's
a bad doubt the officer. Don't feel the pressure and
put it back on them. Let's have a cracket.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
The Australia looking impressive in the tournament. Now, they.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
They always do, don't they. But you know again just
just quality players BK and they but they've let's sen
here he's out, which is a mess of lot. He's
going to be back at all to here the calf bustle.
But they've done a lot of depth, They've got a
lot of skill and as we know with Australians, they
believe they should be at semi finals and they totally
believe they should be in the final and winning competition.
(05:08):
But so that arrogance of confidence also makes them even better.
But they have been very good yet the standard of
cricket between them and England has been sky high.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
And it's not just the White Ferns playing. We've got
the black Caps playing first Test over in India, getting
underway tomorrow afternoon without Kane Williamson. So how do you
rate the black Caps chances against a very strong Indian team.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well, I don't know, Like I'd like to be positive,
I find it. I mean, it's not my child on
I find that the strange. They only got over there.
It was a couple of days ago, so a couple
of days three days before the Test match. I know,
I know the training here, but I just, you know,
I suppose they've been over in the subcontinent for quite
a while getting climatized to the conditions. But you know,
(05:55):
it's not a very big leading, you know, having lost
in Pakistan, having lost in Shelanka, come home for I
thought they were only coming home for a week. I
didn't realize coming home for that period of time. But
I'm saying that they've all been over there before, they've
all played in those conditions before. It's going to be
tough BK. Because India, India are a very good side
and they're even better at home. But if there's one
(06:17):
place we probably wanted to play them, it could be
Bangalore because that's probably the best betting pitch and also
the ball probably swings here, so hopefully that will be
the case. Talking to Mike Kessen last week, he thought
there's still a chance Tim Saudi could still play in
this first Test because of Bangalore and Hess was there
in the IPL for four years so he knows the
(06:38):
place pretty well and he said it does swing, so
don't be surprised maybe two spinners and Tim Saaldi still playing.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I suppose a bit of knowledge. There were a number
of players playing in the IPL, so they will know
the conditions, weren't.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
They absolutely Yeah, it's not like the old days where
you turn up I mean, and it's an amazing place
to tour. Now what's tough is that as the conditions
and the Inden players are so very good and they
know how to use their own conditions. So hopefully Bangalore
is a good betting surface because that will suit us
(07:10):
and hopefully our baddest contession A seventies and ages aren't
going to do it for us, b K. We need
hundreds big hundreds. So if we can do that back
first when the toss for once, bat first and get
a toad on the board, let our bowls go back
doing the thing. But that's exciting because it's you know,
we've had a couple of weeks off of our disappointment.
We've got three more test matches b K and then
(07:32):
we get over that and this team come home. We've
got three more test matches before Christmas. So absolutely it's
a fun time being a test test supporter anyway.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
And how's the how the Sparks team looking. You're the
head coach the Otiger Sparks. How they're looking, mate?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah? Going really well? Yet really well. I've been training
really training hard. We'll meant to be outside last Sunday
and having a bit of an open market game baking
like the noise does it rained? You know? We we
obviously had that we civil mergents which flooded our training facility.
But we're back outside on Wednesday and they were cranking
and hopefully we're going to Timaru and Labor weekend to
(08:09):
play a couple of games and clock it up there.
So not going well, just ready to get outside and
get playing it. So get out of training that we're
out of training mode.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Fantastic. Graig Hey, thanks for joining us mate. We'll talk
again soon anytime. You great coming joining us here on
