Speaker 1 (00:10):
Welcome back to the must remembering to Text and win
two five nine thanks to euro Agree one dollars one
hundred dollars Preezy card to give away of course as
part of the Muster Christmas Giveaway naves them burd and
our resume sporting Guru for the final time in twenty
twenty five house things.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, very good mate. Speaking of winning, registrations are open
for the EML Team Moonshine Trail and the Wensley Cycles
Surfa City at the moment. So you can win the
summer by signing up for one of those one of
those events to get on it.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You can win the summer by signing up. What a
cats phrase.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
That's your summer sorted. We've actually got another thing called
summer as we were going to be out out and
about sort of rewarding people for getting it getting amongst
those amazing green spaces we've got across southendersweal, So you
can check out the details on our socials for that.
But that's enough. There's a lot. There's a plenty of
sport to talk about, isn't he mate?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Oh? Is there what? Firstly, Jacob Duffy I had him
on the show earlier in the week before the opl loction.
He sounded pretty relaxed about it, but R C. B
Royal challenges Benga lurdu. I think it's how to pronounce
it as he's away over there and for his base
price but still worth over three hundred and fifty k.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, and you just can't help but get excited about this,
Ken You really it's great to see Duffers. He's just
he's been such a toiler and such a great ambassador
for Southern cricket. He's played his heart out for a
Tigo for for years and years and years and he's
finally sort of the repping the rewards. You know, he
probably reached a point in his career where he wondered
(01:41):
whether any of these sorts of iron is ever going
to come his way. But he's he's just kept trying,
he's kept trying to get better and he's doing a
great job, whether it's whether it's with the white ball
in New Zealand now the red ball in New Zealand
and obviously getting over to the IPL is a huge
accomplishment and.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
He's really intrenched himself in that Kiwi bowling lineup. Used
there are injuries. But when you're getting the fifers like
he is two Tests in a row, you can't ignore that,
especially with England on the horizon in June and the massive,
massive law that is a tour to Australia next year.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah you did, right, mate. I think the biggest endorsement
he can have is that whether it's Mitch Sanner or
Tom Latham, either of those two New Zealand captains are
comfortable throwing the ball to him and know that he'll
do a job, and that job is more than he'll
take wickets. So all of a sudden he's sort of
found himself with a few injuries and whatnot. He's the
(02:38):
senior bowler in that New Zealand pace attack, which is
I guess if you look back twelve months ago, is
almost almost unfathombal. But every opportunity he gets he sort
of takes with both hands and he never stops trying.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
The funny thing about this, though, was the way that
Indian press look at New Zealand. I went and googled
what they were saying about this. There was a newspaper
over there talking about and be from the town of Lumsdon,
three hundred odd people but the town goes through snowstorms
that keep the town under snow for over half the year.
Yet his father still managed to build a cricket patch
for him and his brothers to play on. I guess
(03:14):
the truth getting the way of a story, right, yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Are you the facts getting the way of a good story? Yeah? Yeah.
I mean if it adds to the mystique and and
you know, helps to helps to get him selected and
get him paid, then you know, I think lums lums
and will take that. Maybe maybe lums that will become
a new tourist mecca with with curious Indians absolutely plenty
(03:37):
of them out there, they might want to they might
want to add Lumsdon to their to their tour itinery
when they when they're heading down this way just so
they can they can see where the where Jacob Duffy's
hometown is.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Well, these people in the cosplay want to go to
Hobbiton and that with these I p L interests of
people might want to come down to south and then
follow the Duffy trail and just follow where cracketors in
New Zealand playing and the IPL come from. Who knows
you head down.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
To the LCG and check out the old artificial and.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
They might need to clean up their horses on it.
Last week when I drove past the Yesha's more controversy
Alex Carey hitting a ton but should have been given
out because technology failed badly?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Isn't it amazing? I haven't can't remember a walking controversy
in recent times. There must have been some, but I
guess in this day and age, do any international cricketers walk?
I don't know, you know, I guess that's what they'll
They'll say that that's what the technology exists for. And
I guess when it's your livelihood and there's so much
on the line and there's there's a there's a million
(04:38):
cameras and microphones there, then I guess it's someone else's
job to sort that out. And every now and again
it doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Now we look at the year in review for Southland,
how would you rate it in general and sporting?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Since it's been a funny old year, hasn't it if?
I guess if we hone in on our three franchise teams,
Southern Steel under Wendy Threw coming in in her rookie
year of coaching, and they got so close to those playoffs,
which which was a great result I guess in the
context of the last few seasons and and really brought
(05:11):
some pride and some enthusiasm back into I guess that
the following for that franchise really probably look to instill
a lot of the I guess that ethos that Robin
Broughton had created with previous Sting and Steel teams, and
that was great to see. Interesting to see it also
(05:31):
sort of coming into the up up the Road with
the with the tactics of with Donald Wilkins being involved
up there as well and obviously having a hugely successful season.
So yep, they I mean Steele were great crowds where
the crowds came back and really supported that team. The
Sharks put themselves in a hole really early in that season,
(05:52):
but then managed to go win nine on the trot.
No one would have picked them to smash the Canoby
Rams the way they did in the semi final, but gee,
they just did a and that and that semi got
themselves through to a final and against the Wellington Saints
and well, if the ball had to just bounced a
different way in the last few players of that game,
we could have been celebrating another NBL title, and there
(06:13):
were great performances from that from that team in general.
But ja I like picking up the MVP title first
time that the Sharks player has done that just outstanding.
And it's before we even get onto the Stags.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Mate, No, I know, we get onto the Stags and
we just looked back to that occasion of winning the
round Freely Shield and the euphoria that was around the
province and it was short lived.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I guess when you're a Stags fan, it's always a
roller coaster was but the rollercoaster had it was more
roller coastery than the normal. And twenty twenty five wasn't
it you know, when you look at it was it
was a I guess it was an interesting start to
the season. And then we got to the halfway point
or halftime against Manawatu, Nathan White throws a chair and
(07:01):
then all of a sudden we come back from twenty
two points down to win that game. Literally the fireworks
went off at Rugby Park when that game finished. Then
we go up and just play just almost flawless rugby
to beat Bay of plenty and then and then rock
up to Hamilton and this is a this is a
Southern rugby team, which you could. I mean, we just
(07:22):
don't win games in the North Island and then all
of a sudden we can beat Bay plenty and then
we can rock up to Hamilton and take on the
Renfrelly shield holders and not why hat over to you know,
it's only the third time in the last fifty years
that the Stags have mounted a successful shield challenge. So
(07:43):
but then after that sort of the old wheels sort
of fell off a little bit and it was a
bit of a grind through the end of through to
the end of the year. But you know, if you
if you offered any sort of Stags fan a Renfrelly
shield win at the start of the season, sure we
would have snap your hand off for it.
Speaker 1 (07:58):

theme parks in your Stags fan. Nathan Burdon, thank you
