ONE NEWS CAPTIONS BY JOHN LING AND ANGELA ALICE. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT TVNZ ACCESS SERVICES 2013 DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. HELLO, WELCOME TO SEVEN SHARP, AND WELCOME TO OUR FUTURE LANDLORDS, SKYCITY. IN SERIOUS NEWS TODAY, MEN ARE EXCITED ABOUT FOREPLAY. I'M SORRY, I'LL READ THAT AGAIN. MEN ARE EXCITED ABOUT PLAYSTATION 4. LADIES, AS YOU WERE. SONY RELEASED ITS NEWEST CONSOLE IN NEW YORK AS IT TRIES TO BITE OFF AN EVEN BIGGER CHUNK OF THE $100B GAMING INDUSTRY. YEAH. PART OF THAT MONEY PILE IS PHONE APPS. 2.5 MILLION KIWIS HAVE SMARTPHONES. BUT WHAT EXACTLY MAKES A GOOD APP? A GOOD IDEA, GOOD PRODUCT, AND THINKING THROUGH WHO THE END USER IS. WE'LL LOOK AT THAT LATER IN THE SHOW. JOHN DENVER ONCE SANG, 'YOU FILL OUT MY CENSUS.' AND IT WOULDN'T BE TEMPTING, WOULDN'T IT? BUT THERE'S A REASON YOU SHOULD BE TAKING THOSE CENSUS FORMS SERIOUSLY. THE NORTHLAND DHB ` WELL, IT'S PUT A PRICE ON THE HEAD OF LOCALS. THEY'VE ACTUALLY DONE THIS. OUR REPORTER FINDS OUT JUST HOW MUCH A NORTHLANDER IS WORTH THESE DAYS. YOU AND YOUR WIFE... YEP. ...AND SEVEN KIDS? SEVEN KIDS. THAT'S 27... IS THAT $27,000? LAUGHS: IT'S $27,000, BRO. AND MT ETNA HAS ERUPTED. CHECK OUT THIS SPECTACULAR FOOTAGE. YEAH, WHATEVER, ITALY. YOU THINK YOUR VOLCANO'S IMPRESSIVE? CHECK OUT THE MIGHTY POWER OF TONGARIRO. ALI: AW. GREG: IT'S LIKE A BACKFIRING ZEPHYR. OK, YOU WIN THIS ROUND. IT'S THURSDAY NIGHT. WELCOME TO SEVEN SHARP. FUNNY THING ABOUT MOBILE PHONES ` THEY WERE HUGE, THEN GOT SMALL. NOW THEY'RE GETTING BIG AGAIN, THANKS TO THE ADVENT OF SMARTPHONES. BUT DO YOU EVER THINK YOU MIGHT BE ADDICTED TO YOUR PHONE? IN AUSTRALIA, 90% OF YOUNG PEOPLE SURVEYED SAY THEY DEFINITELY ARE. AND THAT ADDICTION'S BEING FED BY A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY AS CRAIG STANAWAY FOUND OUT. YOU'RE IN YOUR OWN WORLD WHEN YOU'RE ON YOUR SMARTPHONE. DID YOU KNOW TECHNOLOGY IS NOW NZ'S THIRD-HIGHEST EXPORT-EARNER BEHIND DAIRY AND TOURISM, GENERATING $7B ANNUALLY? PHONE APPS SHOULD MAKE THAT FIGURE RISE. TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL APP, > THE KEY INGREDIENTS WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT ONE? > A GOOD IDEA, GOOD PRODUCT AND THINKING THROUGH WHO THE END USER IS AND THEN DELIVERING TO THE END USER. TAKE FOR EXAMPLE A REAL-ESTATE APP FOR HOME BUYERS. SINCE WE'VE HAD THE APP IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, WE'VE GROWN 170% OF TRAFFIC HAS GROWN THROUGH THE APPS. 170%? 170%. WE STRIVE TO MAKE THE TOOLS REALLY EASY TO USE AND ALSO A PLEASURE TO USE. SO IF YOU FIND THOSE ELEMENTS WITHIN AN APPLICATION, IT WILL DO VERY WELL. THE NUMBER ONE APP DOWNLOADED THIS WEEK IN NZ: CROSSWORD FOR THE 21ST CENTURY ` FREE TO DOWNLOAD WITH IN-APP PURCHASES WHICH ARE HARD TO IGNORE. WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE YOU GET GRATIFICATION FROM INSTANT RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS AND SO ON. SO YOU'RE ACTUALLY A PART OF THE SYSTEM WHETHER YOU'RE REPLYING TO SOMEBODY OR YOU'RE RECEIVING A REPLY. MOST SMARTPHONE USERS ALREADY HAVE THE NUMBER ONE APP WORLDWIDE... COMICAL MUSIC PLAYS ...AND THE GLOBE'S NUMBER ONE GAME. BUT KIWIS ARE STILL FINDING APPS TO DOWNLOAD, LIKE NZ'S NUMBER ONE MEDICAL APP. WE ARE HITTING USERS EVERY DAY. WE'VE CURRENTLY GOT` WE'RE IN THE THOUSANDS NOW, WHICH IS REALLY SUPPORTIVE, AND WE'RE HOPING TO DOUBLE THAT AGAIN IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. ASTHMA COSTS NZ'S ECONOMY $1.5B A YEAR. THE ASTHMA APP IS MAKING TRADITIONAL METHODS OBSOLETE. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT RECORDING THEIR DATA. IT'S ABOUT, MAYBE` LIKE WHEN TONGARIRO ERUPTED, FOR EXAMPLE, WE WERE ABLE TO PUT A RELEASE OUT ABOUT KEEPING A SCARF, ETC OVER YOUR MOUTH AND NOSE AND WATCHING WHAT YOU WERE DOING WHEN YOU WERE OUTSIDE. SO WE'RE ABLE TO GET INFORMATION TO PEOPLE THAT OTHERWISE WOULDN'T HAVE THAT ACCESS. THE ASTHMA APP'S DEVELOPER WASN'T ALWAYS IN TECHNOLOGY. MY GOD. THAT WAS DEVASTATING. JOHN MCRAE WAS THE CO-PROMOTER OF THE LUCRATIVE TUA-CAMERON FIGHT, WHICH GENERATED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. HE TURNED HIS BACK ON DUCO EVENTS, NZ'S LEADING PROMOTION COMPANY HE CO-FOUNDED, TO FOCUS ON APPS. JUST LIKE WE SPOTTED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR BOXING, I SPOTTED AN OPPORTUNITY IN GROWTH WITH REGARDS THE MOBILE MARKET. SO WE SORT OF SWITCHED ON IT DURING TUA-CAMERON. WE RAN A TEST CAMPAIGN. WITHIN HALF AN HOUR, WE HAD 40,000 TEXT ENTRIES. THAT WAS IN A TIME BACK IN 2009 WHEN THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT 5% SMARTPHONE PENETRATION. SINCE THEN, THE MOBILE MARKET OR THE SMARTPHONE MARKET'S BEEN DOUBLING EVERY YEAR. CROWD ROARS SPORT'S FUTURE LIES IN APPS. TELSTRA RECENTLY SIGNED A FIVE-YEAR SPONSORSHIP AND DIGITAL DEAL WITH AFL, WORTH MORE THAN $160M ` AN ABSOLUTE BARGAIN. THEY HAD AROUND A MILLION DOWNLOADS IN SIX MONTHS. AND LAST YEAR, IT WAS AROUND $50 PER ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION. NOW, I THINK, JUST TODAY THEY'VE INCREASED IT TO $90 PER YEAR FOR AN ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION. THE LEAGUE SEASON STARTS NEXT WEEK AND HAS NO BROADCAST DEAL WITH SKY TV. YOUR PHONE COULD BE ONE OF THE FEW WAYS YOU CAN WATCH THE WARRIORS THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE NRL JUST SIGNED A NEW DEAL WITH TELSTRA. WITH BIG BUCKS INVOLVED IN THESE DEALS ALONE, APPS ARE NO LONGER JUST A GAME. Scary look into the future? I was buying lunch by myself today, that's the way I roll. My phone gave me something to do and I do like a complete nutter. I looked busy, and I looked like I was too busy for friends. That was a lie. Completely addicted to Twitter and Draw Something ` you can do it with kids. I have the most boring apps. A flashlight, which I think is ace, guitar tuner and a running thing. The most popular app was four pics one word. Some sort of crossword? One guy reckons his wife plays Candy Crush on the toilet. He can see her activity on Facebook. There are some very useful things that you can download. We end with a cautionary tale. This is what happens when you use your phone too much. Peaches Geldof in London. There goes the baby. Still talking on the phone. Not important enough to end that call. Maybe peaches was stoned. Fruit joke there. UP NEXT ` WHY PUTTING PEN TO PAPER FOR THE CENSUS IS WORTH THOUSANDS IN THE FAR NORTH. AND HOW SWEET IS THY NEIGHBOUR? WE USE A BASIC TEST TO SEE WHAT THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR ARE ACTUALLY LIKE. LAST NIGHT WE REVEALED THE CURRENT CENSUS IS COSTING A WHOPPING $72M. BUT WHAT'S THE COST OF NOT MAKING THE COUNT? MICHAEL HOLLAND HEADED TO KAITAIA IN NORTHLAND TO REVEAL THE CENSUS PRICE TAG ON OUR HEADS. IT'S THE LAND OF NEVER-ENDING BEACHES, NEVER-ENDING DUSTY ROADS AND DELIGHTFULLY INTRIGUING CHARACTERS. SNAPPER AND KINA. AND ESPRESSO COFFEE? YEAH. (CHUCKLES) WHAT A LIFE, EH? THE PERFECT PLACE TO WITHDRAW; TO GET LOST FROM THE SYSTEM; TO GO UNDER THE RADAR FOR... WHATEVER THE REASON; TO SIMPLY NOT BE COUNTED. BUT THOSE WHO HAVE HAPPILY GONE MISSING MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO KNOW THEY HAVE A BOUNTY ON THEIR HEADS FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS. MAN: HEALTH FUNDING IS BASED ON THE CENSUS COUNT, SO IF YOU'RE NOT COUNTED, NORTHLAND MISSES OUT ON FUNDING TO PROVIDE THE HEALTHCARE SERVICES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MAY NEED. TO THE DISTRICT HEALTH BOARD, YOU'RE WORTH THREE GRAND. THREE GRAND? WHOA. YEP, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL WORTH WHEN IT COMES TO DIVVYING UP THE HEALTH BUDGET. AND UP HERE IN THE NORTH, OFFICIALS RECKON THEY'RE MISSING OUT ON MILLIONS SIMPLY BECAUSE SO MANY LIE LOW AND DELIBERATELY IGNORE THE CENSUS. (READS) 'THAT'S $10M WE'RE NOT ALLOCATED FROM CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EVERY YEAR 'FOR HEALTHCARE.' THAT'S DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. WITH NORTHLAND'S SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEED, IT WOULD MAKE A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE. AND, REALLY, IT'S JUST GETTING THE FUNDING THAT WE ARE ENTITLED TO; PART OF THE OVERALL... I GUESS OUR SLICE OF THE PIE. AND WE WANT THAT TO BE A FAIR SLICE. ARE YOU A CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR? YEP. THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PARTAKE? NO, NO. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CENSUS? ARE YOU GONNA FILL IT IN? DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. YEAH. WOULD YOU FILL IT IN? OH, WELL,... PROBABLY NOT. KAITAIA HOSPITAL'S RECENT $12M REDEVELOPMENT EVIDENCE OF WHY EVERY CENSUS FORM ` AND HENCE EVERY $3000 ` IS SO IMPORTANT TO NORTHLAND. SO, THIS IS OUR NEW DAY-SURGICAL UNIT. THIS HAS ALLOWED US TO HAVE A CONSIDERABLE TURNOVER OF PATIENTS ` BETWEEN EIGHT AND 10 PATIENTS A DAY. UPSTAIRS, THE DIALYSIS UNIT... BILL COMES AND SEES US THREE TIMES A WEEK. ...IS VITAL, GIVEN NORTHLAND'S ALARMING CHRONIC-ILLNESS STATS. 9% OF THE REGION'S POPULATION ACCOUNTS FOR A WHOPPING 42% OF THE HEALTH SPEND ON CONDITIONS LIKE... IT'S ABOUT KEEPING SERVICES LOCAL FOR THE LOCAL PEOPLE HERE. AND IF THERE'S A FEW MORE BUCKS TO BE HAD, YOU'LL HAVE THEM? > ABSOLUTELY. WE'LL GRAB WHATEVER WE CAN FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE FAR NORTH. OUTSIDE, WE FIND A DAD WAITING FOR THREE OF HIS SEVEN CHILDREN TO SEE THE DOCTOR. WHEN I SEE THOSE CENSUS FORMS IN THE MAIL, I THINK, 'THIS IS STINK. WHY DO THESE NOSY PRICKS 'WANT TO KNOW ALL THIS ABOUT ME, BOY?' BUT WITHIN MINUTES IT SEEMS WE'VE CHANGED HIS MIND. < YOU AND YOUR WIFE... YEP. < ...AND SEVEN KIDS, THAT'S 27... < IS THAT $27,000? LAUGHS: $27,000, BRO. WELL, I RECKON WE SHOULD FILL ONE OUT. (CHUCKLES) IT WILL HELP. AS THE POWERS THAT BE SAY, IT MAKES MORE THAN SENSE; IT MAKES BIG, BIG DOLLARS. A lot of people would share that sentiment these nosy people... That's not his word. I was going to make a point, but... THE BIG TALKING POINT A FEW YEARS AGO WAS WHETHER YOU WERE GOING TO USE THE CENSUS TO DECLARE YOURSELF A JEDI. JESSE FOUND OUT HOW MANY OF US DID. YEAH, 12 YEARS AGO, NERDS HAD AN IDEA ` 'WHAT IF WE ALL FILLED OUT A CENSUS QUESTION THE SAME WAY 'AND CALLED OURSELVES JEDIS?' WELL, LUCKILY FOR THEM, 2001 WAS QUITE A WHIMSICAL YEAR ` A YEAR OF SHREK, SNAKE-Y BRITNEY AND... (SNIGGERS) SHAGGY. WE WERE TOTALLY UP FOR IT. 53,000 KIWI JEDIS PUT THEIR HAND UP IN 2001, MAKING IT INSTANTLY OUR SECOND-BIGGEST RELIGION. UNFORTUNATELY, STATISTICS NZ WERE NOT IN THE MOOD, RULING ALL THE JEDI ANSWERS... BY 2006, THE JOKE WAS GETTING KIND OF OLD. THE JEDI COUNT WAS DOWN 60% TO 20,000. SO, HOW MANY WILL WE GET THIS YEAR? WELL, I RECKON JUST A FEW HUNDRED, AND THEY'LL BE THE SAME PEOPLE STILL DANCING GANGNAM STYLE, PLANKING AND USING THE PHRASE 'NEK MINNIT'. DON'T DO IT, PEOPLE. TIME FOR A NEW JOKE. NERDS ` ANY IDEAS? I love Nek Minnit. WELL, AS THE GOVERNMENT TRIES TO FIND OUT ABOUT US WITH THE CENSUS, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD? A NEW OPSM STUDY'S FOUND THAT 60% OF US ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE DETERIORATION OF OUR COMMUNITIES. SO HOW MUCH DO WE CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE AROUND US? DEAN BUTLER WENT ON THE BLUDGE. THEME FROM 'NEIGHBOURS' # NEIGHBOURS... # YUP, WE ALL NEED GOOD NEIGHBOURS. WHAT'S EVEN BETTER IS IF WE KNOW THEM. APPARENTLY, 46% OF US WHO LOOKS AT OUR WASHING EVERY DAY. APPARENTLY, 46% OF US HAVE NO IDEA WHO LOOKS AT OUR WASHING EVERY DAY. DO YOU KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOURS? NAH. YEAH, VAGUELY. YEAH. I KNOW MY NEIGHBOURS. YEAH, I DO. KEN AND ROSS. DO YOU GUYS KNOW YOUR NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOURS? UH, NO. NOT VERY WELL, NO. UH... NOT REALLY. WE JUST` WE JUST MOVED IN. DO YOU KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOURS? ACTUALLY, I DON'T, UNFORTUNATELY. MAYBE IT'S THE MEDIA WHICH IS CAUSING THIS. I SAID, 'IF YOU PUNCH ME AGAIN, I'LL CALL THE POLICE.' AND SO HE PUNCHED ME AGAIN. WE'VE HAD TROUBLE IN THE PAST WITH DOGS. WELL, WE TRY TO KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE, YOU KNOW. WE GET ROWDINESS. YOU GOTTA LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOURS. WE HAD TO TELL ONE NEIGHBOUR TO TIDY UP THEIR YARD. IT WAS TERRIBLE. YOUR NEIGHBOURS ARE LIKE AN EXTENSION OF YOUR FAMILY. WHAT IS THE TEST OF A GOOD NEIGHBOUR? WHAT DO YOU THINK? PROBABLY IF THEY LEND YOU A CUP OF SUGAR. # LEND ME SOME SUGAR. I AM YOUR NEIGHBOUR. HERE WE GO. # HI. I'M, UH, DEAN. JUST MOVED IN DOWN THE ROAD. WANNA MAKE A CUP OF TEA; GOT NO SUGAR. HELLO? CAN I GET A LITTLE BIT OF SUGAR? WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR LEG? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU SURE? YEAH. OH, PRIMO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY. AND YOU TOO. SEE YOU LATER. TAKE CARE. BYE-BYE. SO THERE YOU GO. EVERY HOUSEHOLD PASSED THE 'CUP OF SUGAR' TEST. AND MAYBE IT PROVES THAT WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW OUR NEIGHBOURS, BECAUSE GUESS WHAT ` AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE'RE ALL KIWIS. # HEY YA. HEY YA. # SWEET. # HEY YA. # NEXT ` IMAGINE YOU TOOK SOMEONE'S JOB THEN KEPT RUNNING INTO THEM IN THE HALLWAY AT WORK. THAT'S A BIT LIKE HOW IT WAS FOR ROSS TAYLOR AND BRENDON MCCULLUM YESTERDAY. MARTIN DEVLIN ON THE BLACKCAPS PATCH-UP. AND THE FIELD OF DREAMS FOR A FARMER WITH A VISION. THE BLACKCAPS WERE COMPREHENSIVELY BEATEN BY THE ENGLISH CRICKET TEAM IN NAPIER LAST NIGHT. IT MEANS THAT SATURDAY'S ODI WILL BE THE SERIES DECIDER. IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR US? MARTIN DEVLIN IS HERE. McCullum, Taylor, what do you think? It isthe good English side of the plane. The South African team we beat what was good too. I'm pleased with the captaincy kerfuffle. This was the first time the pair batted together. But like any relationship breakup. You act like mature adults. Both of them played really well. Unfortunately we were, principally beaten. Do think when they crossed doing their runs, one of them went 'dick' There were some awkward moments women to meet together in the middle for a chat and... Taylor has been magnanimous about it, and McCullum has handled it with dignity. It's played out in the public eye. Can we win the series? South Africa were supposed to thrash us. Hope is still alive. I would actually prefer if they were getting hammered every week. Is not the failure you can't stand; it's the hope. Like supporting the Hurricanes. An ex-BlackCap Said last week maybe we expect too much. Should we lower our expectations? The standard is set by the all Blacks. We don't expect too much, but we get excited when they do well. Punch above our weight. If we lose, it's what were expecting. If we win, it's fantastic. Rugby starting up? 83 days since the last rugby game. Cricket's the entree. Can I leave with this? Underrated sports star Me. Happy birthday, Martin. I don't want to make a big deal on national TV or anything. Naked flame in the studio. Not sure about that. But happy birthday. Regardless about how we feel nationally about cricket, there is a place in Hawke's Bay where wearing the whites will never die. YOU'RE NOT QUITE SURE WHERE YOU'RE GOING. YOU THINK MAYBE YOU'VE MADE A WRONG TURN SOMEWHERE. JUST AROUND THE CORNER, THERE'S A SPECIAL PLACE ON THIS FARM. IT'S A BIT OF A SECRET, BUT A FEW MORE PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO FIND OUT ABOUT IT. YOU SUDDENLY SEE THIS WONDERFUL SIGHT, AND IT'S... 'MY GOD,' YOU KNOW, 'WONDERFUL.' WE GET THESE OOHS AND AAHS FROM PEOPLE. AN OASIS OF GREEN ` OR GREEN-ISH AT LEAST ` AMID ROLLING FARMLAND THIRSTING FOR WHAT IT CLEARLY HASN'T HAD FOR MONTHS. HAWKE'S BAY ` YOU KNOW, BLUE SKY, BROWN FIELDS, SUMMER, CRICKET. FOUR CS ` CLIFTON COUNTY CRICKET CLUB. THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF OCEAN BREEZE, WHICH WILL HELP THE SWING BOWLERS, BUT COULDN'T BE BETTER. THE VIEW: EVEN BETTER THAN BETTER FROM UP HERE. A BIT OF A CLIMB FOR THE OLD HOLDEN FARM HACK. THAT'S NAPIER HILL OFF TO THE NORTH. THIS IS JUST SOMETHING ELSE. IT'S THE MOST MARVELLOUS THING TO BE HAPPENING ON THE FARM. CHRIS NILSSON RETURNING TO HIS FAMILY FARM AFTER ALMOST 15 YEARS OVERSEAS AS A PROFESSIONAL ROWING COACH TO INDULGE HIS OTHER PASSION ` THE THWACK OF WILLOW. IT'S REALLY A DREAM OF MINE THAT'S COME BACK TO ME. EXCLUSIVE, ELITIST IT MAY LOOK AND FEEL,... CRICKETERS IN WHITE, TAKING THE GAME SERIOUSLY AND ACTUALLY PLAYING QUITE WELL. ...BUT THAT, THEY INSIST, ISN'T THE INTENT. I SEE A LOT MORE THAN CRICKET. I SEE THE KIDS SLIDING DOWN THE BANKS, HAVING A BRILLIANT TIME; YOU KNOW, THEIR MUMS ON THE SIDELINE, CATCHING UP WITH FRIENDS. IS IT GONNA COST ME MY SHIRT TO JOIN? NO, IT WON'T COST YOU YOUR SHIRT TO JOIN. IN FACT, YOU CAN JOIN BY PAYING $150. IN FACT, THE CLIFTON COUNTRY CRICKET CLUB IS THE NEW HOME GROUND OF THE HAUMOANA SCHOOL, JUST A COUPLE OF HILLS BACK DOWN THE ROAD. ON THIS DAY, THOUGH,... ANYONE GOT A COIN? 10C? A DOLLAR? OH, GOOD MAN. ...THE CCCC'S HOSTING THE GEORGE AND KATE INVITATIONAL, AS YOU DO THE DAY AFTER GETTING HITCHED. BEERS... GOOD FUN. (CHUCKLES) < BEAUTIFUL WIFE BESIDE YOU. BEAUTIFUL WIFE. AND A BEAUTIFUL WIFE, YES. BIT OF AN AFTER-PARTY WITH A DIFFERENCE. HOW MANY SORE HEADS ARE HERE? > HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HERE? (CHUCKLES) > WHAT WOULD THE LATE, GREAT TONY GREIG MAKE OF THIS? GREIGY? GREIGY? GREIGY, UH... I THINK HE'D SAY IT'S 'HAAAARD AND FAAAAST'. (CHUCKLES) I THINK HE'D AGREE WITH ME. LOOK AT IT. HARD AND FAST. THE LONG-TERM PLAN, WITH A FEW MORE MEMBERS' SUBS IN THE COFFERS, A BLOCK THAT'S WAY LESS PREDICTABLE. PROPER GRASS WICKET ` A FIRST-CLASS GRASS WICKET, IN FACT. MOST SHAMELESS BID TO GET ATTENTION IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA WOULD GO TO YOU. NO, I'D TAKE THAT ONE. I WOULD, ADMITTEDLY. BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN TAKE 'PLAYER OF THE DAY' FOR THAT. (CHUCKLES) I THINK, IF IT WAS DOWN AT THE LOCAL PARK, WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T GET ANYONE BUT CRICKETERS THERE. YOU KNOW, THIS IS ABOUT OUR FAMILIES AND ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY. SO EVERYONE WHO COMES OUT THERE NEEDS TO HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME, WHETHER THEY'RE PLAYING CRICKET OR NOT. YOU'D ALMOST BE HAPPY TO BE ALIVE TODAY, WOULDN'T YOU? VERY HAPPY TO BE ALIVE. VERY HAPPY TO BE ALIVE. Building your own Cricket club. It sounds like something a nutter you would do. That guy is my hero and a hero to thousands. Congratulations to the married couple. THAT'S ALL FOR TONIGHT. SEE YOU TOMORROW, WHERE JESSE WILL BE DOWN IN CHRISTCHURCH FOR THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE QUAKE. SEE YOU THEN. CAPTIONS BY RICHARD EDMUNDS AND GLENNA CASALME. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR.
