Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yeah, spen bugging me recognize this is the muster.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Legan Sabry of the South and Tribune joins us this afternoon,
said good afternoon, and working into twenty twenty six, and
it started off on a rather sad note with the
passing of through Tim Shehadbolt last week.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Absolutely, yeah, a real end of the era there. And
I mean I was just I was actually just thinking
about this earlier. You know, I was I was a
kid of the eighties, early nineties sort of of un
the Cargo, and so I was about twelve years old
when when Sir Tim got first got elected as in
(00:43):
the Cargo mayor, and I was in my forties when
he when he finished up. So that just puts into
perspective with a longevity that he had an end of
the Cargo, but not just a not just a massive
personality of un the Cargo, but but national worldwide. And
I think what we're saying in a few days since
the announcement of his death, you know, the amount of
(01:07):
tribute to stories and whatnot that the flowed right throughout
the country. It's not surprising, but it's certainly significant a
massive time, just the length of era, not just have
enthusiasm for that role as in the Caagal, but to
keep getting re elected all that time, he did pretty
(01:28):
well to hang in there.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, And Jeff Grant made the observation before that, whenever
you've seen Tim in public, it was always a face
of happiness and always out there and just prepared to
be Tim.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, it's amazing. I was thinking. When I was in
my twenties, we used to have a Christmas Eve Bowls
tournament of all things, and it was basically, to be honest,
a bit of a glorified piers. Guys that were back
in the mcagoo for the back or back in South
for the for Christmas would catch up and one of
the guys invited me Tom to come along one and
(02:04):
he showed up and I got photos and I mean
he was leaving. I remember tolking you. The guy said,
if he's agreeing, you know, it was a request through
the Mirror office with a good shot. If he's agreeing
to come to this, then what is he turning down?
He must have been a very busy, busy man. And
that was that was his strength, with the Mirror's ability
to get out there in a public shake hands and
(02:25):
the meet the people and be the face of the
of the city.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Basically, now you've had a win over the past month
or so, the Vaults are now just the Vaults. Noah
tagoing there. It's like the Highlanders just being the Highlanders.
They got rid of the name. Of course, yourself and
Jacob Duffy, who is doing great things in the wak
Caps at the moment. You've been behind in this push.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, I was. It was a pleasant surprise when we
got that was just before Christmas, at the start of
the t twenty comp that that the Italia Cricket Association
decided to to drop the Targo tag for the Vaults
team for the just the to Tea twenty competition. Obviously
the big thing and you know Jacob Duffy has probably
been the real big pushure of it being a proud
(03:11):
South and there is that the Targo name doesn't really
reflect the region that they represent. You know, you mentioned
the Highlanders they were once the target Hollanders recognized that
that probably wasn't reflective of the region. So now now
just the Highlanders and to the Vaults for the twenty
twenty compass gone down that track as well. You know,
(03:33):
I think talking to Jacob about the other day. He
was he was pleased, but you know, would probably prefer like,
you know that the wholes maybe the Southern vaults Southern
gets included in there as well as like the Tago
age group teams. You know, at the moment of of
South and then makes that next level they go and
play for the target under not nine teams of under seventeens,
(03:54):
and you know, again is that reflective? But anyway, it's
a start and all done for them for acknowledging that.
And I guess in February when they come down here
and play a one day game at Queen's Park, people
will probably need to get out and support them because
of that.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Well notoriously, and year's gone past, the game hasn't occurred
because of the lovely in the cargo weather.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I know, I've covered many of games at Queen's Park
where it felt like for two weeks leading up in
the beautiful weather and then the game arrives and it
absolutely pisses down and all the players look at you
go like this all the time down here and you
sort of try and make the catch and it's not
But yeah, the drainage is a little bit better at
(04:37):
Queen's Park now, so that sort of helps a week.
But if rain used to be the problem, if it
were rain the day before, it was almost toast for
the next day. But yeah, so there's a chance in
February for people to get along and have a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Now, Jacob Duffer, we talked about the Great Man before
he's away over to India. Shortly he's over there for
a few months as well, not just with the Black Caps,
but with this OPL contract he's got.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, that's right, he's got it. Just felt like he's
been absolutely endless for him in two thousand, what was
endless for him in twenty twenty five with him out
of cricket, he's paid. The twenty twenty six is shaping
up is a really big year. As you mentioned, you
know he will hit over. He's playing for the Vaults
today Undernead and you'll play another game I believe for
the Vaults and then head over for the twenty twenty
(05:24):
series leading into the twenty twenty World Cup in India
and you'll come back for a weave it and then as
you said, head back to playing the IPL as well
in India, and then there's a Test series against England
and June, I believe. So he's got a real busy
time coming up. I hear he's a big fan of
butter chicken, so so he might be getting a bit
(05:47):
of that put it out over the next few months.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Well, Shane Warren Inficie lives on baked beans for nine
weeks over there.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
He didn't he cut a creative it over or something. Yeah,
he did.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
He had a pellet of stuff cuted over there apparently.
But look, we talk about next summer or again already,
and there's a lack of red bull cracking in the
black Caps until that English series in June. But the
Bakerhna is on the horizon at the end of the year,
the Big Carrot and such. We're going to Ossie for
four tests. We need to have a point of difference,
so we need to get a fast bowler in the
willow Rook needs to stay fit.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well that's right, yeah, well for once we need to
well for a start, we need to get one of
those quicks that ability to be able to be durable
and play test up to test and some big loads like.
It's not you know, it's not just having a fast bowler,
but someone that can do you know can roll out
fifteen to twenty overs a day at that pace and
it's not easy. They're not easy to come by. But
(06:42):
I really think that if we're a New Zealand crecket
is certainly anything. You know, We've got a twenty twenty
World Cup, we've got a Test series in England and
that they're all important, but I think they're real big
one of this series in Australia because we need to
go over there and perform really well and beyond the
Australia site in the future to have regular prime time
(07:04):
Test series against New Zealand. So a really massive series
leoming and a big year for that. So I mean,
I think there'll be a big key WE contingent heading
over the Boxing day Test in Melbourne.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I'd imagine now baseball or booze ball, depending on who
you speak to, telling you everything you do not to
win ANZI.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, that's that was a really disappointing series and some
of the stuff that's coming out since it's a little
bit alarming and probably steaming back from there there that
one day series where we blitz and three now over
here and things. Things were traveling that well right from
that point and haven't right through and through the series.
(07:45):
And what happens. I guess when you don't perform on
the field, a lot of times there's added spotlight comes
off to what you're doing off off the field, and
that seems to there is what's happening with the cricket
team that there's been a fabit of scrutiny going is
but whether they've given them themselves the best possible chance
to be successful in.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Australia, certainly time will tell them that. One say, hey,
keep out the great job of the South and Tribune
and we'll talk again.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Begap cheers, Andy B me.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Wagon Savory of the South and Tribune. You're listening to
the muster and haka nui before we wrap up. Andrew
Welsh at a Twin Farm Genetics, the home of Teff
