Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Andrew Ortison's here was sport, hey, Andrew.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Okay, right, it was pretty remarkable though.
- 0:04Speaker 1: It is amazing.
- 0:04Speaker 2: So if you're talking, we deal in the world of
- 0:07Speaker 2: catches and sporting that and that is that's quite a catch.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Hey. The America's Cup, we're doing all right?
- 0:12Speaker 2: Team New Zealanders, Yeah for sure. So three nil up.
- 0:16Speaker 2: They've got to get to seven to win the or
- 0:19Speaker 2: to defend the old mug, and they've done so pretty successfully.
- 0:25Speaker 2: On the second day of racing, fourth race was postponed
- 0:27Speaker 2: due to fickle wind, but Team New Zealand getting the
- 0:30Speaker 2: benefit of the judges or the umpires if you like.
- 0:34Speaker 2: With there was a protest at the start and Brittanny
- 0:38Speaker 2: was ruled to have incurred that penalty. So I meant
- 0:42Speaker 2: that they had to be seventy five meters behind at
- 0:45Speaker 2: the start and so from there on and he's able
- 0:48Speaker 2: to choose their side of the course and dictate proceedings,
- 0:51Speaker 2: so able to take that out. So three nil up.
- 0:54Speaker 2: And just listening to some of the calms there, Peter Burling,
- 0:58Speaker 2: he's as usual calm efficient and yeah, just reassured self.
- 1:04Speaker 2: I suppose behind in the driver's.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Seat, it's the battery issues that are going on. Are
- 1:08Speaker 1: they going to come back and plague anyone?
- 1:11Speaker 2: Yeah? It sounds quite tricky, doesn't And I think with
- 1:15Speaker 2: Britan you're being I guess held back or they joined
- 1:18Speaker 2: very late in the piece as well. I mean, if
- 1:20Speaker 2: you're changing stuff over at that last minute time scenario,
- 1:24Speaker 2: it's got to effect your build up and you and
- 1:26Speaker 2: you're I guess you're pause. You're hard to stay composed
- 1:29Speaker 2: in those circumstances with such frantic goings on behind the scenes.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, Bathurst, what's happening?
- 1:35Speaker 2: So Brady Ksetecky's one Bathurst is the king of them
- 1:39Speaker 2: out alongside Todd Hazelwood, so Hazel's first winning supercars. But
- 1:44Speaker 2: they managed to survive across the one sixty one laps
- 1:47Speaker 2: and in a race record as well, so five hours,
- 1:50Speaker 2: fifty eight minutes and three seconds first to go under
- 1:53Speaker 2: the sub six hour mark. But yeah, pretty nerve wracking
- 1:58Speaker 2: as well. I mean only one or Feenie by one
- 2:02Speaker 2: point three to five seconds, so not much in it.
- 2:05Speaker 2: And then and then you know the tune upwards towards
- 2:07Speaker 2: the back end of that race. You want to be
- 2:09Speaker 2: well in control.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Now India Australia the two twenty World Cup Cricket match.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Why do I care because it could have an impact.
- 2:16Speaker 2: It's more the impact on New Zealand. So India effectively
- 2:19Speaker 2: have to beat Australia to really throw it out there.
- 2:22Speaker 2: But given that they lost to New Zealand earlier in
- 2:25Speaker 2: pool play, this has provided New Zealand beat Pakistan. I
- 2:28Speaker 2: think it's ones tomorrow, so you have a situation that
- 2:31Speaker 2: moment in Australia and India playing India chasing one fifty
- 2:34Speaker 2: two when I think they were forty five for two
- 2:37Speaker 2: after six overs, so there'd be one to watch across
- 2:40Speaker 2: the morning. And if India does get up then that
- 2:42Speaker 2: does put New Zealand's position under more pressure. Put it
- 2:45Speaker 2: that way, run rates and when we're playing, I think
- 2:48Speaker 2: it's tomorrow tomorrow, all right, bring it up against Pakistan
- 2:51Speaker 2: and then UAE and we'll see how that fears out.
