Very good morning team. Welcome along to the show. It is Wednesday, the 21st of October. We are Izzy List today. And the big man's got some important matters to attend to. So Sammy's in the hot seat this morning, fresh from the World Cup show last night. So I hope he's fresh anyway. Geeze, big night for you Sammy. Great show. How are you this morning?

Sam Ackerman (1:09)

Thank you, Scotty. It is great to be here. You know, I'm in great shape. It's wonderful last night to see this Kiwi Seam come out and the little rotate they've got. I think that it's chef's kiss for me, for the team selection. I think that everything that needed to be done has been done. And nothing that didn't need to be done has not been done.

Scotty Stevenson (1:29)

Okay, I get that. What needs to be done has been done. What didn't need to be done has not been done.

Sam Ackerman (1:33)

Yeah, it's easy. In these situations, you can try something slightly more fancy than you need to.

Scotty Stevenson (1:39)

You don't need to get fancy pants here. Not against the Cookies.

Sam Ackerman (1:43)

Love it. Absolutely love it.

And the Cookies team out too. I am pumped. Can't wait.

Scotty Stevenson (1:49)

He is one of the greats of the game. Brad, he's a champion human being. We wanted to get behind the scenes and talk to a lot of players this year, talk to a lot of coaches. What's it like to manage an NPC team? And especially one that has already made history this year and is on the verge of making plenty more. The Beast, Michael Bracewell will be with us at 7.3 this morning. Black Cap Spin Bowler looking ahead to the Indian series starting tomorrow night. Brooke Anderson out of the Kiwi Ferns. Two changes for them, two, three changes for them too, or two starting changes.

Well, Tanika Willison, I think is-

Well, Tanika Willison, what a story that is. Four different black jerseys.

Black Ferns 7s, Black Ferns 15s, New Zealand Touch and now Kiwi Ferns. That is some kind of career. Carmichael Hunt, Cook Island's coach on The Clash The Kiwis in Christchurch, he'll join us today. To Luke Cassely out of Auckland FC at 8.15. Paul Mawati with the TRB Odds Update. And of course, Your Messages, which always form a big part of our show on double eight, double three this morning. Please do get in touch. The Kiwis, two debutantes named as Sammy mentioned, Tanner Stowell Smith, stoked for him. And Jacob Laban. So good. All set to get their test debut for the Kiwis against the Cook Islands. Stacey Jones on that matter is not ruling Cailin Ponga out of the World Cup, of course. Broke that arm in the first match against the Kangaroos, but still hope springs eternal. Kiwi Ferns have named their team. We'll touch on that as well. The White Ferns, meanwhile, have gone down by 40 runs against Australia, bowling first. Australia managed 167 for seven. New Zealand in reply, one, two, seven. And that is all she wrote. Australia, two nil, and they take that T20 series.
