Lesley Murdoch

Um, you know, I have huge respect for Sir Ri- Sir Richard Hadlee.

I have huge respect for Lesley Murdoch.

Um, so, you know, we want to ensure that they are, they are brought into, uh, this decision-making, they understand where we're, where we're going with this.

Geoff Allen has already s- uh, sat down with Sir Richard and had conversations with him.

He's offered to do the same with Lesley Murdoch.

So look, I'm not saying that we've got it all right.

We haven't.

yeah.

You know, he and another very senior figure, former President Leslie Murdoch, an esteemed athlete in her own right and former president of the board, also... clearly concerned.

Sir Richard Letters has got out and Leslie Murdoch's concern is also out there as well.

Part of their concerns were that they each participated in the Deloitte report that was to provide advice on which way this T20 future should go.

They were told they would get copies of it.

I know people still like him, but he's not there anymore, and things have got to move on.

So, Jeff, leadership skills are going to be tested.

And what I also found interesting with Hadley is that, yes, you're right about Leslie Murdoch, but Hadley claims that Jeremy Coney is backing him.

Gonna chat to him about Mill Road and how we can be sure that he's actually gonna do it again, especially six weeks after pulling out of the contract negotiations with the homeowners along that bit.

But also, you'll have seen what's going on with cricket over the weekend, Sir Richard Hadlee writing the letter, Leslie Murdoch getting involved in that as well.

So what on earth is going on? Why now? What are they upset about? We'll get you across that as well in the next half hour or so.

Coming up, 5:00, News Talk ZB.

that that could really change yeah totally now listen guys thank you very much it's lovely to have you in the studio and I'm already looking forward to next Monday four o'clock and we could do it all again we have Barry Soper senior political correspondent Trish Sherson of Scherson Willis and Josie Pagani the child fund chief executive uh we're talking to Chris Bishop after the news going to chat to him about Mill Road and how we can be sure that he's actually going to do it again especially six weeks after pulling out of the contract negotiations with the homeowners along that bit But also, you'll have seen what's going on with cricket over the weekend.

It looks like it might even be delayed for another season.

So I think Richard Hadley's fully entitled to, and with Martin Sneddon and Leslie Murdoch, to say, what the hell is going on, New Zealand Cricket Board? It's not good enough.

We thought there's another way of doing this, and there's another way to support your grassroots, which is getting a lot of money from Australia, which I thought was a pretty good idea.

Thanks, mate.
