Tony and Michael cover off the key talking points from the sporting weekend - the borefest in India, the future of Eden Park and whether Dan Carter is NZ's best sportsperson right now?
Tony Veitch and Michael Guerin discuss who is New Zealand most popular active sportsperson, the blockathon in Delhi and the Warriors staying at Mt Smart.
Who is New Zealand's most popular active sportsperson? Michael: Dan Carter... He's still active. He's not in an old person's home, he's in France. Tony: But heplays in a very boring competition in the Top 14. Michael: He now plays in New Zealand as much as Lydia Ko does, so he's still active.
Tony's vent - Cricket blockathon Tony: Hashim Amla..23 off 270 balls. Their total 72 of 432 balls. AB de Villiers 11 off 91.This is my reason the coin toss has to go. What you've got is you have home nations preparing pitches that are absolute dogs. Michael: And this is the best argument for the pink balls and night test cricket. No one cares if it's a little bit harder to see. At least there is a result. This is a borefest. Some people out there will love this stuff.
What the Warriors staying at Mt Smart means for Eden Park Tony: What events have Eden Park got? They can't do anything that's interesting. They can't do a concert or a Red Bull event because of the residents. Now the Warriors are locked in it leaves Eden Park as a massive cauldron of nothingness. Michael: And the home of the nation's biggest league tournament the Nines.
