  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the muster.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Jacob Duffy, Blackcaps fast bowler, and the 15th recipient of
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: the Players' Cap has voted by his peers at a
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: recent Blackcaps camp over in Adelaide.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Jacob, good afternoon. Good to chat once again. Firstly, tell
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: us about this Players' Cap.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: G'day, Andy.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for having me back. Yeah, Players' Cap's a
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: pretty special one. It's sort of the player association initiative initiative.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: It's the 15th year running now, and what.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: We do is every game we play, we do a 3-2-1.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: System at the end of each game. So the manager
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: comes around and you write down, not necessarily specifically the
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: best performers in the day, but the guys who have
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: made the most meaningful impacts on the game that day.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: That accumulates over the 12-month period, and the boys, it's
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: pretty cool, and the guys obviously. put your name down
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: a few times and, yeah, like I say, to have
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: the approval of your peers is probably the coolest award
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: you could get.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I reckon.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't think there's no better accolade when your
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: own teammates put you on that pedestal as such.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Regarding your contribution during the season.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: 100%.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: And then, yeah, looking back at the guys that won
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: in the past, you know, I think Kane's won it
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: sort of three or four times. You've got Salve, you've
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: got Rupchen, you know, Darrell Mitchell. Yeah, these are the
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: guys that are... the black caps that have performed consistently
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: over the years and that's all you ever want to
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: do is you get to the black caps as one
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: step and then obviously the next step is to make
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: meaningful impacts for your country and that's what I've sort
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: of prided myself on and that's what my dream was.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I've had a good period of being able to do
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: that and I just want to be able to do
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: a bit more.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: What's the training camp like in Adelaide for seven days?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Not a bit of Barossa Valley wine tasting with some
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: training mixed in?
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: We did actually sneak a bit of brosser in. Well,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: that place, the day one we got there.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: We actually played a bit of golf, you know, a
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: couple of days to get over the play and everything.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: So we had golf for the first day, kind of
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: a kumbaya a little bit, you know, just talk about
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: where we are as a team and, you know, what
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: we're doing well and, you know, things we want to
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: improve on, sort of, more.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Culturally more than anything, which is quite cool. And day two, yeah,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: we had a day at Pentholds, so, you know, we
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: had a bit of a wine tour and a really
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: nice lunch there.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: We got hosted to, by the guys at Penfolds really well,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: and that's where we did the cap ceremony.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Which was, yeah, pretty cool setting for it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: And the guys at Penfolds chucked in a nice bowl
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: of wine for me too, so that was cool. And then, yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: after that, we sort of got stuck in, and some
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: pretty big days, sort of nine to five. We tried
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: to replicate a sort of a test match, really, so
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: we had five training days of, you know, nine to five,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: breaks and everything, and yeah, awesome facilities. Got over there,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: and we were playing on the sort of a middle
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: wicket there in the out of ground, the Caron-Rothenobel, which
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: they used the Adelaide Oval drop-in, so that was quite
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: cool to get.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Some good experience on that wicket.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: And then, yeah, just the facilities they got, beautiful nets
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: out back, just a really good set-up there.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Chances are it was a little bit warmer than the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: southern spring.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Well, it actually got there. It wasn't actually that nice.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: It was only about 14, 15, but by the.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: End of it, it was getting pretty nice.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I think they said it was a bit cool for
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: that time of year, but, yeah, just their facilities, man.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: They do it bloody well over there.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Is that just Australia and sport in general? They just
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: look at the bigger.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Picture and they put the infrastructure in place?
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I think so.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Even we went to the... What was it called? Like
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: the high-performance gyms. Obviously, all their athletes, their Olympians, and,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: you know, we got in there to do our lifting
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: and stuff like that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: And just their set-up is.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: I hate to say it, but it's just a step
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: up from what we got. It's, you know, beautiful facilities,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: amazing gym. Like, their hot pools, their cold pools, just
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: everything all in one place.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: It's just... They do it bloody well. I don't know.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I've been to the one in Brisbane. Apparently the one
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: in Sydney is amazing. These are cricket-specific venues, too, that
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: have these amazing facilities.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: It's no secret there's a lot more money.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Over in England and Australia for places like that, so
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: they can obviously put it into those facilities, and I
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: think they do it really well.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Now, it all starts next week.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: India's coming over the rock stars of world cricket, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: as a result of that rock star status, with the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: money and the fan base they bring, you've got an
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: 8 o'clock start for T20s.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: How does that go? How do you find that?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a bit funny, isn't it?
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: But, yeah, I think we all know the state of
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: play of world cricket.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Obviously, India's, you know, where the money's at, so.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: You've sort of got to play ball and sort of,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: you know, you've got to please them a little bit,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: so I guess that's to do with the time difference
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: and just allowing more Indian viewers to be able to watch.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Well, I've been going to bed at 8.30 lately. I've
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: got a newborn baby, so we're pretty tired, so we
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: go to bed quite early, so I'll.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Have to adjust my sleep schedule a little bit, but yeah,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: once the adrenaline kicks in and everything, we'll be fine.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: It just might be a little bit chilly, that's all.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Having India and New Zealand for the three-match format like
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: they are over a number of weeks, it's quite a
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: big deal.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Though, eh? Yeah, it's huge.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: It sort of happens sort of once every four or
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: so years. And I know it makes a, it's a big,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: huge financial impact for New Zealand cricket. I know all
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: part of their forecast and everything, they sort of schedule
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: in once every four years Indians coming over and that
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: makes a huge bump into our revenue. So to have
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: them for three formats, obviously a GM pack, I think
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: we played 10 white ball games in about.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: 22 days or something.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: So I really rammed it in and then obviously a
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: couple of test matches on top of that, which would be,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: that's pretty bloody exciting. Obviously I've never played them in
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: test matches, but, That's really exciting. But I've played a
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: lot against them lately, but all over in India.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: So I'm very keen to get over here on some.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Hopefully bouncy and green wickets. And, you know, it'll be
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: a little bit more in our favour than.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: It is over there, hopefully.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Nothing like a howling southerly at the basin, you reckon?
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: It's better than a flat track at Hyderabad, put it
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: that way.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Hey, regarding ODIs, they've almost become like the third wheel
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: in the cricketing window these days. Are they starting to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: lose relevance from a player's perspective?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: It's an interesting one.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: I'd say currently at this point in time, no, because
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: there's a World Cup in sort of 12 months from now.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: In my opinion, I would say the 58 World Cup
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: is sort of the pinnacle world event for ODIs.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: For our game.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: That's the one I always grew up watching, you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: the 2015 World Cup or the 2019 over in England,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: you know, where we lost on the tyre or whatever.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Those are sort of the memorable World Cups to me
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: as a fan growing up.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: So, I always put that as sort of the pinnacle
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: event and obviously leading in, we're only one year away
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: from that.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: So, as a player, I guess these are very important
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: for us. I know as a fan, sometimes they can
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: drag on and be a little bit long.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's, you know, there's already talk that
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: things might change a little bit.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: We might, take the World Cup and only play, you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the one day.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Of sort of letting in that year or two going
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: towards that, or they're tossing around all sorts of options.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, I sort of understand people's opinion on that one.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: It's a busy old season ahead. India, Bangladesh and Sri
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Lanka are coming over. But then there's.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Just a side of distraction, I suppose, of a tour
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: over to Australia. Jeez, you must be fizzing at the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: bung to rip under this.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very much so.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Obviously getting a bit of a taster over there in Aussie,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: just get on those hard tracks, you know, a bit
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: of bounce and stuff.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: It's obviously a very cool place to play.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I didn't actually go to the Adelaide Oval, but it's
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: a beautiful-looking stadium, and we're obviously playing at Optus and Perth.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: We play, obviously, Adelaide Oval, and then you've got the
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: box in there, TSMCG, and then Sydney as well.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: So we're playing at sort of the four main grounds.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: You know, I feel like the team's in a really
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: good place to, you know, compete and push those Aussies around. So, again, like.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: I say, you grow up watching a lot of Australian
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: test cricket as it's always on Sky Sport and stuff
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: like that growing up. So, yeah, to go out there
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: and live it will be pretty special and I just
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: hope we give them a bloody good run.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: And your mate from RCB, Josh Hazlewood, he's on fire
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: at the moment too.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I did see that. He got his career best
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: the other night. So, yeah, it's cool. I think that's
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: a very interesting one. Obviously, two very good teams. So,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: So definitely keeping a close eye on that to see
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: what those sort of guys are doing.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Regarding this New Zealand T20 scenario with the big bash
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: talk of putting a team in over there, has this
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: become a distraction for the players as such?
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: No, not really at all, to be honest. We don't
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: really talk about it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: I guess, yeah, as a player group, we've made our
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: opinion very clear that we're pushing for a homegrown sort
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: of New Zealand-based franchise, I think, in T20. you know
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: and I literally haven't talked to anyone that opposes that
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: I know everyone's pretty keen on that and then you
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: know I guess.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: There's a bit of noise at sort of board.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Levels and CEOs and Richard Hadley Piper and things like
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: that so they're allowed their opinions and stuff it's just
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: we're just very keen to push on and get this
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: NZ20 thing happening because you know I think we're the
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: last country in the world or last test playing nation
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: to not have their own franchise tournament we've seen sort
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: of what it can do for, you know, not only
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: financially for the local players, but obviously for the development. And,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: you know, guys get to rub shoulders with these overseas
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: players and the sort of facilities and sort of all
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: the things around it that it brings into our local game.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: I just think it's an absolute no-brainer. But it just
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: seems to be slow going at the moment for whatever reason.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: And I guess it's the big fish.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Up top to figure that stuff out. And we just
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: worry about hitting bat and ball.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Having India coming over here, is it a chance to
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: perhaps show that New Zealand is sexy and will attract
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: investment from over there on the subcontinent, perhaps?
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, potentially. As far as I'm aware, I know there's, yeah.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: New Zealand's very well respected around the world in terms
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: of our quality of players.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: And stuff, I guess. we talk about world cuts and
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: all these world events and we always seem to put
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: it above our weight and.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: Make it sort of to semis and finals and things
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: like that I know we haven't crossed the line for
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: a wee while yet but that's okay I know there
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: will be interest out there for sure it's just get
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: everyone on the same page and get it across the
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: line I imagine Hey.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Good on you Jacob always appreciate your time and good
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: luck next week against India it's a big summer ahead It.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Was a huge summer, but looking forward to it. Cheers, Andy.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Laugh out loud with Ag Proud, because life on the
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: land can be a laughing matter.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Brought to us by Shearwell Data, working to help the
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: livestock farmer. A mate went on a date once, and
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: she told him that she spends all her free time
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: drilling holes.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: He told her, well, that's pretty boring.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Once they had a conversation about a date, joining pieces
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: of metal together, that was pretty riveting.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: That is us.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Over and done with for the afternoon. A bit of
