• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Do you need a hug? I'm we're following a support
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: group for all the black Cap supporters because you're alway
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: let down at the last hurdle. But you know, the
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: scores are virtually similar. There was just six balls and
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: it we did well but not well enough.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, India has paced that pretty well, I think, and
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: starting with roche Chama with his seventy six off eighty three,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: but they've got through the two fifty two required winning
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: with focus. I think, just what over to spare, give
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: or take? And yeah it was it was pretty convincing
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: display by India all up, I think. Well, Darrel Mitchell
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: was kept new zeeling the contest with sixty three of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: one hundred and one balls. It looked like it was
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a bit of a dropping from the Sahara the pitch,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and it really it was. I hate slodelineless.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I hate Dubai's ground. Well, I love the ground, I
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: hate the wicked and I do not like the games there.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: They're always a bit weird.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Well, the fact that the very fact that's controversying itself,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the fact that's in Dubai because India wouldn't play in Pakistan.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: But that aside done convincingly and New Zealand put up
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a good fight and I was just over the course
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of the timent just a standout factor or too really,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: but Glen Phillips is catch of Shubun Girl and everyone
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: should go and watch that today. That's a blinder, it's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: short cover, just one hander. Again, he's just just a
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: phenomenal fielder.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Remember we talked about the Golden Generation. I mentioned this
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: earlier in the program, the Golden Generation. Look at this,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: we've got Golden Generation two point zero.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: There's some terrific players coming through and that has been
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: helped by Mitchell Santner's captaincy as well. That was the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: other point I was going to mention today New Zealand
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: getting hit early with the pace attack and just brought
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the left orthodox is on himself and Ruts and Ravendra
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and immediately and just just chuck. He's dimmed the flows.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: So I thought, yeah, he's been he's been excellent in
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that role so far.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I'm putting my hand up. We should host the next
• 1:48

  Speaker 1: good for the New Zealand teams of the course. Of
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: course Harland is having the buy but and Crusader is
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: getting a win. But Chiefs and Hurricanes with the well
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and in the Blues as well getting beaten by the Brumbies.
