Adam Milne

I think there's a pretty, like Blackcaps winning their series is far more likely than the White Ferns winning their series against Australia.

being in New Zealand helps but also we're dealing with a pretty good T20 squad for the Blackcaps which does skew towards their best strongest possible group of T20 cricketers because they have been very generous and working with Fennell and Tim Cypher, Lockie Ferguson, Adam Milne and all these guys with not a lot of cold counsel to consider there aside from what we discussed earlier like I'm not trying to get...

New Zealand needs to use all of their cricketers to be competitive in every series, I reckon.

For the Black Caps.

That's true.

Um, 'cause we talked to Adam Milne, uh, earlier in the week, and, you know, he, he was saying that how much he enjoys seeing the bails fly off and-

Mm

... you know, the, the, the flashing of the lights.

in November so I had a look it's in Mount Smart on November the 12th there so that'll be between the third and fourth ODI cricket games too because of course India is touring New Zealand there as well so I think it's quite nice they've got the football and the cricket happening at the same time too and then of course the second one will be the second game against India and the football will be in Christchurch on November the 15th indoors where it's very nice.

Staying with cricket, Michael Bracewell now joins Mark Chapman, Lockie Ferguson, Adam Milne, Finn Allen and Tim Seifert in opting out of a central contract with New Zealand Cricket, so he's going to go there for a casual one.

Bracewell is replaced with a full-time contract by the Wellington Firebirds captain Nick Kelly there too, so...

And NZC has gone, yes, but look, he's not with us full time in this, but he will remain available for selection for the upcoming five match T20 series.

Yours, please.

Hey, fellas, just listening to your Adam Milne chat and him complaining about having too many bags and gear and all that kind of stuff.

At the end of every season, my club runs a, like, hand in all your old gear so we can give it to the kids and, you know, pass it down and all that kind of stuff.

Why don't the black caps do that? Or the...

Yeah, so basically you hit up your local player.

I'm sure they've got heaps of them.

I'm sure Adam Milne does the same.

But you probably can't keep up.

Welcome along to a special edition of the BYC Podcast.

Now, this one here is a quick interview that we did on our, uh, sister podcast, The Agenda, with, uh, New Zealand black cap fast bowler Adam Milne.

Ahead of the T20 series, he is returning to the squad for the first time in quite some time.

So, uh, myself and Tony Lyle from The Agenda Podcast sat down with Adam Milne and had a good chat about what he's been up to, where he's at c- uh, in terms of his fitness, and, uh, looking forward to the Indian series.

Righty-ho.

Um, Tony, it's an absolute pleasure to welcome into the Agenda Podcast black cap Adam Milne.

Uh, thanks for joining us.

Thank you.

He has really done a great job for us in the last two years and I think he should be rewarded.

I'm also really excited to see if we could get Lockie Ferguson and Adam Milne on the same field together.

Hopefully, probably not at Eden Park because the boundaries are fairly small straight.

But look, I'm very excited by the combinations that we could have there.

doesn't play... 9, 10, 11 looks very, very tail-endery.

That's okay in a T20, though, especially if you've got Santner down at 8, isn't it? But, yeah, anyway, I mean, yeah, we could be.

Did you know Adam Milne is the longest-tenured black hat?

Really?

We've got a, we've got a special guest.

Adam Milne is joining us.

Uh, Black Cap just got named in the T20 squad-

Yes

Any, any Facebook platform I just type, "Do your own research."

Righty-o.

Uh, let's take a break, 'cause up next we're gonna be talking to Black Cap Adam Milne.

Righty-o.
