• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I thought I'd be updating the cricket all the way
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: through this hour, but I won't because they've just lost
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and Indian India has won by forty four runs. New
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Zealand got to two hundred and five and Elliott Smith joins.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Me right now, morning Andrew.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Not the end of the world though, because Jimmy's coming
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday. But not a good practice.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Run No, And it was actually looking quite good, but
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: came Williamson who made eighty one. Couldn't find anyone to
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: stick with him. They had partnerships of thirty forty ish
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: for a couple of players, but the spinners, the Indian
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: spinners took hold in the Dubai wicket and what was
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: quite promising the one hundred and thirty three for three
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: and thirty third over chasing two fifty, but is a
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: none could stick with Cain Williamson and bowled out for
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: two hundred and five Aria on Wednesday night.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, so South Africa is next. Okay, Ration got six Rasia,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Ravender got six, Darrell got seventeen, Tom Latham fourteen, then
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Phillips twelve. But all those players have stood up before
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: in the tournaments that we've played over the last couple
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of weeks. So they've been and now and now finally
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Caine has got a biggish score, so you got to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: they were all good for a semi.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Let's hope it all comes together in a semi final
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: against South Africa. You know, we've got the wood on
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: them traditionally and some of those big games. So you
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: think back to twenty fifteen World Cup semi final there
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: at Eden Park, so there's president there and back to Laho.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: So they went to Dubai for this one, back to
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Laha for Wednesday art semifinal.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: The Warriors were beaten too. Everything.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, that was pretty poor, wasn't it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: What did you say to me before you said it
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: was like they were still in pre season.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, there was no attacking structure, no defensive structure. I
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: was not sure what they've been doing for, you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: months on end. Very disappointing and I don't know whether
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: it was the Vegas bright lights or whatever, but I
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: think there was more to it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: The comentos were going on about how thin the field
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: is and so why weren't they putting it out wide
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: because we were all crammed up in the middle.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: So I thought there was didn't seem to be any
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: ability to build pressure on the Raiders. The tries that
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the Warriors got were opportunistic towards the end of each half.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Very disappointing and the Raiders, who were not expected to
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: be up there this season, and indeed the Warriors went
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: into that game as favorites. Well they absolutely belted the Warriors.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: So a lot of soul searching to do. And now
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: this allegation this morning that Richard Agar, one of the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Warriors assistants, has basically throttled a British journalist in the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: press box. So the nrols investigating that, the Warriors looking
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: into it as well. So couldn't have gone much worse,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: to be honest, yesterday, Andrew.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: But that's why I then went over to the golf.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, this was very pretty there wasn't that uplifting it.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Was and Ricky Punting got an eagle on the seventh,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: which shows you when you play a program you actually
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: can play some pretty good golf.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: He's pretty handy, Ricky Ponting and the winner of that
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: tournament as well, a former bikey who's turned his life
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: around and really great tests, great hats implately and as
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: well Lydia Coe won the women's World Championship in Singapore,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: so she's had a great weekend of course.
