Sport, the Latest from the Land and just great rock.
It's the Country Sport Breakfast with Brian Kelly on Gold Sport,
your home of Live commentary seven fifteen.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Here on the Country Sport Breakfast. We're just a couple
of weeks ago now, the New Zealand women's cricket team,
the White Ferns, were crowned ICC T twenty World Cup
champions after beating South Africa in that final by thirty
two runs, and since they've returned home, they've been on
a nationwide tour, taking the trophy to places all over
(00:32):
the country. Two of the White Ferns joins me this
morning on the show. Is he Gaze and Maddy Green?
Is there a Maddi? Good morning and congratulations.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Morning, good morning, thanks for having us.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Oh look, absolute pleasure. How's the tour gone so far?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Well, this is.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Actually day one for Ozzy and I our teammates have
sort of been around the country with the trophy and
meeting different people in the community run New Zealand. So
by all accounts it's been going really well, which is awesome,
and lots of people coming out to see the trophy
which is very cool.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
What stage in the World Cup did you guys say hey,
we could actually win this because you went into it
and get hard I think something like ten losses. So
at what stage you think, hey, we can win it.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
For me personally, I reckon it was after our last
pool game. You know, we came off that game and
we're on a big high and I think we knew
that we could go all the way.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
And of course, what was the feeling like seeing Ozzie
sort of tossed out of the Cup? That must have
been a moment.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, it was sort of surreal.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
It was a bit of an interesting World Cup in
that sense. I think both Australia and England were sort
of expected to go on and be in the mix
of the finals and it just sort of turned out
to sort of be anyone's tournament. And you know, obviously
for us it was a nice night. If they have
to face England or Australia in the final, there are
two amazing teams. But at the same time, I think
we just we made the most of the opportunities that
were in front of us. And yeah, lot T twenty
(01:51):
Cricket is just that sort of game and it can
brings teams to it closer together and I thought we
played really well throughout the tournament to get into that final.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah. Absolutely. What were the celebrations like afterwards, is he?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, the celebrations are pretty good. Good night. But obviously
I had to help on a plane the next aid
to India, so keeping that in mind. But the girls
definitely celebrated hard and it's one to remember, is he.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Let's talk about you. I mean, you're only twenty years
old and you've already played fifty internationals for the White
Ferns as wicked keeper. That's pretty amazing, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Yeah. I actually think I've played more than my domestic career,
so it's a bit strange, but yeah, pretty lucky to
be a part of the team and to have played
that many games so far, and it just shows you know,
how much cricket we actually play.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I always feel for the wicket keeper. You know, there's
a lot of pressure on the poor old wicked keeper
standing there behind the stumps. What's it really like?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I actually love it. You know, there's that pressure, but
you know you can take it on its chest and
use it. And I guess you know, it's a special role.
You know, only one person gets to do it. So
just lucky to be to be having the gloves right now.
I mean, I've got my friend Maddy Green, who's also
a backup key first, so.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I was very grateful. I was, yeah, the backup we're
a ing for the tournament, and look, it's not my specialty.
And I was very grateful for Azzy and how she
kept and that she managed to get through the tournament
sort of unscathed and we didn't have to see me
making an appearance behind the stunts. I think everyone was
thankful for that.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And is he You've become a bit famous too for
you for your innovative shots. What they call them scoops
and ramps, aren't they.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah, yeah, it's a bit of a go to for me.
And yeah, some teams just don't put a fine leg back,
so I don't really know why, but I think teams
will start to pick that up, and I'll guess I'll
just have to play other areas of the ground.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Which yeah, and we go from you to Maddie and
you're one of the more senior members of the squad. Really,
what is it something like one hundred and sixty twenty
in internationals. It's a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, it's a lot. I've been around for very while.
I'm getting certainly getting old. I feel old when I
have people like Azy coming into the team and doing
so well. But no, I'm really grateful. I've sort of
been in the team for a few few years and
just to see where the game's gone over that time.
It's been pretty cool to be a part of that,
right and to get a T twenty World Cup. You know,
it's not necessarily something that you expect in your career,
(04:05):
and to be able to achieve that with this group
has been very cool.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
It'll start if you wasn't at EP some girls high.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, some girls very grateful for the opportunities I sort
of provided. They're great sporting school, sort of played everything
under the sun, and we had a great cricket team
at that time. So now that was great for me
and I really enjoyed my time there.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
So, yeah, if you weren't a professional cricketer, what would
you be doing? Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I used to actually, for my sins work in banking,
which wasn't that exciting, but yeah, obviously, Yeah, that was
good to have sort of that life outside of cricket
for a period and sort of understand what that looks like.
And hopefully when I when I hang up the boots
one day, that makes it a little bit easier going
back into the real world.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You're okay for another couple of years yet.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh so you got to ask the coach. But yeah,
if it were up to me, I hopefully I can
keep going for another couple of years. Love being part
of the White fans. I've got a great group, and
you know, I think we've really really nicely and I'm
excited to see where the team can go. And is
he for you?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
If you weren't playing cricket, what would you be doing?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Probably playing hockey. Was passionate about that, and I think
growing up was just playing sports. I didn't have too
much focus on on my academics, so it might be
a bit stuck there, but I'd have to figure out
what works for me. But yeah, I definitely love playing hockey,
so hopefully playing for the Black Sticks.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
There must be a great feeling now in the camp.
I mean, we've got the Aussies arriving shortly. In the
news out today that at the first tested in the
basin you're actually the entry is free, so that's going
to be good. So what's the feeling like in the team.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Now, Yeah, I think the vibes are really high, and
we know that these odiis are going to be important,
and Ossie obviously going to be well prepared. But I think,
you know, coming off the World Cup one and some
really good odio eyes in India, we've got some great
confidence going into those games and we know that anything
can happen and the Basin gets good crowds and no
matter what. So with that being free entry, it's going
to be great.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Who's the joker in the team when it comes to
the White fans? Is there somebody who's sort of like.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
The I think you've got a couple. You've got Eden
Carson and fran Jonas who carried the good vibes and
then so I think a bit of an undercover joker
and I think only usk it to see that side
of her, But yeah, those three definitely carry the good
vibes in the team.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And what about Maddie. You know you're sitting next to
her now, is she a bit of fun?
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Ah? Yeah, she's great fun.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Maybe maybe maybe those sort of like dad jokes? Is
how old I am? But yeah, I think Sophie de
Vine actually she's a real character and sometimes that's when
she gets this point where she's overtired, so you see
the silliness in her and she's like a fifteen year
old and she's good fun.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh, fantastic, well again, congratulations, the trophies right there in
front of you. Has it got a nickname? Has anybody
nicknamed it?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Not yet. Actually it was surprising, but I think we're
still getting used to having it with us and carrying
it around, so it's been pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's fantastic. Well again, pretty cool. You girls did that,
so congratulations World champions. Thanks, thank you, absolute pleasure. Thank
you for dropping by this morning. Maddie Green, and as
