The Canterbury Crusaders lost the Super 15 final on Saturday night.
That means New Zealand's best intellects will be working hard to work
out the reason for the calamity....

MURRAY DEAKER: Plenty of spare lines, you'll get straight through if
you ring now. Phil, your thoughts?

CALLER PHIL: I want to talk about the All Black squad. Murray, I am
very, very concerned. I think we will have a lack of intelligence,
once the ball goes past Daniel Carter.

DEAKER: [long, thoughtful pause] Conrad Smith?

PHIL: Yes, but what if he's injured, Murray?

DEAKER: [long, thoughtful pause] I know what you're getting at, Phil.

Ok so forgive me for asking the obvious, but are they really serious or
are they winding up the caller?

Deaker and his sad callers are so bizarre it's tempting to think that
it's all a giant wind-up. However, they're perfectly serious.

Which is of grave concern for many of us.

Out of interest, do people take Murray Deaker seriously?

Nobody other than the odd bewildered soul like "Phil" respects Deaker
or takes him seriously, but a significant minority of listeners
thoughtfully repeat and rehash his statements. That's the power of
relentless repetition, even on the direst of dire radio shows.


Just googled him and seems he has a television show on Sky?

This TV show was the forum on which Andy Haden chose to come out in
support of the rape of female football fans, and to tell his fibs
about the Canterbury Crusaders having a racist quota system.
