Tony is joined by Michael Guerin to discuss the big sporting topics from the weekend including the Black Caps' Halberg odds, Chris Cairns commentating, Steve Williams and SBW's looming sevens debut.
More important for Black Caps - Series win over Australia or World T20 title?
Tony: Kane Williamson has to
be sportsman of the year. Has to be.
Michael: Which brings us to an argument from yesterday... you said you'd rather see the Black Caps beat the Australians in a test series. I reckon winning the World T20 Cup is more important and this is why - at the Halbergs winning the world championships of anything gives you a better chance of getting a Halberg so he's a better chance of getting sportsman of the year and the Black Caps have a better chance of getting sports team of the year at the Halbergs next year if they win a t20 World Cup. That's why it's more important than beating the Aussies in a test series.
Tony: T20 cricket should only be played domestically.
Michael: True, but you want Kane Williamson to be sportsman of the year.
Tony: Because of his test form and his ODI form.
Michael: But you have a better chance of doing that if you win a World Championship. If they don't win the T20 than all the Olympics people will win the Halbergs next year.
