Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Country Sport Breakfast with Brian Kelly on Gold Sport. Right,
let's hit to christ Church now and catch up with
our man down there, Andrew Orderson.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Morning Orders, Greetings. We came.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
First things first, the weather. What's it going to do
for day two today? For the cricket.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well, it looks to be all right at it's looking
at my window right now and I saw a forecast.
I think it might be some cloud in the sky,
but overcast, but no rain to speak of or anything
on that. In fact, that's the same across the entire test.
Good there's no rain forecast, so yeah, still be plenty
of cricket on offer. I to speak.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
I was absolutely gutted yesterday. I was glued to it,
really enjoyed watching it. Came Williamson on ninety three. I thought, oh,
this is going to be great. Another ton for the
for the toweronger athlete. But it didn't get there, did he?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
No, it just got well he was saying this held
up for the pitcher, but it just the bounce it
almost got him. And then that it was a relatively
simple catch point the bowling of Eckinson, and I thought, yeah,
but of a rarity. I mean five times he's been
out in the nineties over the course of that long
and distinguished create and the first time in just about
(01:09):
six years December twenty eighteen against Sri Lanka the last
time he was out in the nineties, so it's a
rarety in itself.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Became absolutely watching the first couple of sessions and the
pitch seemed to have quite a bit of moisture and
a Ben Stokes was having trouble bowling. It was not
a happy little bowler actually, So what was going on there?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Well, there's quite a few players falling over. I saw
Caine tripped over a couple of times, well, one turning
for a second run and one just trying working. I
think it was into the league side and just tripping over.
I think it's a bit of a different pitch. And
then I think it almost offered. It would have been
okay to ban on it, you know, as we saw
(01:52):
I mean three hundred nineteen for eight and I think
that it's perhaps a bit more advanced than it has
been in the past, not as much for perhaps for
the Pace Bowl as early. But I think too that
England it's probably quite a wise decision from them to
send New Zealand and again I know that's the tradition
that the heavy over because I think days two and
(02:14):
three it should be terrific to bad on. So it'll
be interesting to see how that goes and pressure will
go on that he's see on bowling attack relatively inexperienced.
Fascinating to see how willow Rock steps up to this
task given how much success he's had so far in
his career. Responsibility to probably Matt Henry becoming the key
stripe bowler now as well at the Canterbury duo opening up,
(02:36):
and we'll see what Nathan Smith's got as well after
his betting dismissed for three on debut yesterday and.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
A good knock by Glenn Phillips who will resume actually
today on forty one, so he's put on a fight
any at the tail end.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, glenshellots. I mean they're lucky to still have him
there yet forty one and that's going to be some
key runs. I reckon if they can get up around
three point fifty and possibly beyond that will start to
looking are really competitive on a first thing, because we
know presumably how England will play and it'll be aggression
first and foremost and the tests. I'm thinking the Test
(03:11):
could be quite well advanced by the end of the
second day, so it's just key to get a few
more runs on the board. I think Tom's you know,
net will really start to at least be some pressure
for those bowlers to have as a bit of a
banker for coming up against the England banning attack, it's
going to be aggressive.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
The English off spinnersher I mean he got he was
the best best figures for for what sixty nine off
twenty nine overs? So have we got the spending attack
to do a similar kind of thing?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Do you think, Well, here's our man, Glenn Phillips. Isn't
that he's going to be asked and tasks, possibly to
do more than he would have bargained for at the
start of the game. I mean, but sheher had succe.
Some of them were fairly soft wake cats, but nonetheless
he asked questions and took some joy in the press
conference afterwards talking about how it was the privilege of
(04:00):
bowling to Kane Williamson held in some or although he
was quite thrilled to get a few past the bat, etc.
But he was just just talking about how he did
not expect to bowl anywhere near that many overs twenty
overs bowl for that four for sixty nine, but was
called upon as a result. So yeah, Phillips should be
(04:20):
warming up, I suspect as well as the four prong
pace attack.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Did the very strong and they were strong north Westerns.
Did that have much of an effect on the game yesterday?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, huge effect, I think, And well, a couple of factors.
One that was drying out the wicket over the course
of the day, almost like a Kilmen effect with that dry,
dry wind coming across, as well as the sun baking
at thirty degrees the peaks beyond thirty degrees actually one
days the other Canibary spring day, and I think that
(04:54):
to the wind well Basheer was something how difficult he
was finding it. He was having to adjust his action
to be more cracks because he was bowling into it
and it was affecting his bowling action. Williamson also saying
difficult a different banning at either end on whether you're
playing with the wind or without the wind, because it
was coming from that botanical garden's end rather than the
food hills end. So yeah, players were adjusting accordingly and
(05:17):
you just have to get with those small margins and
Test cricket sometimes you have to really take those factors
into account.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Got to say a good little lot too by Tom
Latham as well yesterday Joker.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I thought that I okay and got the ninety three.
But I thought the positive intent shown by Latham to
start was probably the highlight of the New Zealand innings.
He really set a standard there. Just he was able
to just work his way around the clot anywhere from
backwards square through to mid off and place some excellent strokes.
(05:49):
But he didn't let England. The England bowlers set early.
I mean forty seven or fifty four. It was a
real opener. It's not but you know, Latham just loves
banning on his home ground at Hagley Over It's so
it seems he's got the most runs here of any
cricketer and Test matches, and it just seemed to me
that he reveled in that experience and with the leadership
now with him permanent leadership at least of the Test team,
(06:14):
he took a stride forward. I thought that it was
a great effort.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
So three hundred and nineteen for eight, what do you
think is going to happen this morning. We'll skittle those
remaining kiwis pretty quickly, do you.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Think, well, it probably depends how Tim sou did. Bet
It can pivot on these moments. If he could stick around.
You know, Phillips is probably up for a few more
I would say early on. But if they got to
say three point fifteen New Zealand and then bowling, and
(06:44):
I think I would I would foresee England getting to
at least that by the end of the day potentially,
if they're able to stick around, and then if you
had parody on that first settings. But it will just
depend on that. You know, their contest between bat and
ball would be fascinating. That New Zealander's up against what,
you know, what's commonly known these days is the Bear's
ball style in England. Have picked eleven accordingly and in delafascinating.
(07:08):
In fact, there will be how Jacob bethel on debut,
that's at number three, you know, without a first class hundred,
he's quite the bolter in this team. And that's that's
a bit of an unknown.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, there's a few unknowns you on that English team,
all right, And the other important question to you, how
was lunch yesterday. How were you looked after on the
on the food trolley.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Oh, actually had some some lamb I think there, I
know piled that, but checking up a Veggian take BK
was even you know what. One of the highlights that
I thought was the lemon meringue art tea. That's a
real I just really looked forward to the afternoon tea
as to what's presented. You know, you're just looking for
(07:49):
a bit of a sugar fixed Bang there it came,
and I was just you know, put it this way.
It was quite a quite a cue, quite a you know,
people rampaging towards the little Maureenet's in the media teamp
you know, in getting a cup of tea to boot.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I suppose the English media who were there as well,
David Gower is out here, they would be enjoying the
Kiwi hospitality as well.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I mentioned. So yes, yes, well it's undly like a
bit of New Zealand or Canterbury. Canterbury lamb on the
showcase there.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Absolutely all right, mate, enjoy your day and we'll chat
again next week.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Absolutely yeah, it'll be fastinating contest. They bea Hurican, it
should be.
