- 0:11Speaker 1: Good morning, greetings, Ryan, good to have you, Good to
- 0:15Speaker 1: hear from you. Nice to have you in the capitol
- 0:17Speaker 1: for us this morning. So they've kept the faith with
- 0:20Speaker 1: this team that lost in christ Church? Have they made
- 0:23Speaker 1: the right call? Do you reckon?
- 0:25Speaker 2: I think by a large yes. I mean I'm looking
- 0:27Speaker 2: at that pitch. Yes, today it's going to be green
- 0:30Speaker 2: and seam options will come to the fore pretty early.
- 0:34Speaker 2: I would have thought of New Zealand were able to
- 0:36Speaker 2: when the task I think of Edisie wins a task,
- 0:38Speaker 2: they're likely to fields first and to make the best
- 0:42Speaker 2: of those those bowling conditions. Just having a look looking
- 0:46Speaker 2: back when there's some talk you could have maybe used
- 0:49Speaker 2: a spinner and it's by Mitchell Senter was brought into
- 0:51Speaker 2: the squad or you know, the specialist spur of Conklent Philips.
- 0:54Speaker 2: They're already but just looking there's been one first class
- 0:58Speaker 2: game near this season three weeks to the forty that
- 1:01Speaker 2: were taken with to spin, not a whole lot. There
- 1:04Speaker 2: was an argument last season in Sebruy because Nathan lyon
- 1:07Speaker 2: the Australian spin it took ten for the match that
- 1:10Speaker 2: maybe they should introduce that option. War but he's get
- 1:13Speaker 2: them sticking with the tribe and that the key thing
- 1:15Speaker 2: right has been the catching and if the catchers has
- 1:18Speaker 2: been taken the first thing some Christ she could have
- 1:20Speaker 2: been a hole. A lot different the situation he's in
- 1:22Speaker 2: out there practicing that catching. At Linked yesterday, sort of
- 1:27Speaker 2: players lined up along the of fence with Jacob Warren
- 1:30Speaker 2: the assistant coach, delivering the big hits and also Gary
- 1:33Speaker 2: Stead feeding the slip cording with the plumb trying to
- 1:37Speaker 2: sharpen that up.
- 1:38Speaker 1: But it didn't look to be going very well from
- 1:42Speaker 1: what I saw on the news.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Andrew Yes, a sort of a scenary of yeats. You
- 1:49Speaker 2: have the tricky rehearsal if you like, before the main
- 1:52Speaker 2: events in theater they say break the leg, going like
- 1:56Speaker 2: that anyway, We'll see how that goes. But he's in them. Additionally,
- 2:01Speaker 2: an excellent fielding site, so that was one that was
- 2:06Speaker 2: unexpected with that performance eight drop catches and editings which
- 2:10Speaker 2: really five in Harry Brooks innings alone, which really cost
- 2:14Speaker 2: them the game.
- 2:14Speaker 1: They are both out to both teams now out of
- 2:17Speaker 1: the World Test Championship running. Does that mean that they'll
- 2:20Speaker 1: be a bit looser.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be. I mean he's even crucially losing
- 2:25Speaker 2: those points to to the lack of overs in the day,
- 2:30Speaker 2: to the slow over rates, and there's been some dispute
- 2:32Speaker 2: over that where you get a lot more seamovers in
- 2:35Speaker 2: the likes of Musland in the Australian versus the spitting
- 2:38Speaker 2: on the sub continent. But yeah, I think you could
- 2:41Speaker 2: see a bit more prepare to throw cautioning to the
- 2:44Speaker 2: wind in that regard perhaps, But then again, most teams
- 2:48Speaker 2: have then playing for results these days by largest, very
- 2:51Speaker 2: few draws, and particularly where this English side is involved,
- 2:54Speaker 2: and the likelihood is that you'll end up with a
- 2:56Speaker 2: match that's prince less than five days anyway, given the
- 2:59Speaker 2: tempo that they play at the visitors.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Andrew, thank you look forward to hearing you lady this morning.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Appreciate your time in getting up early for us. Andrew Ordison,
