2023 is the year of world cups. The Cricket World Cup gets underway this evening in India - with a rematch of 2019's final, New Zealand taking on England. Its the first of 9 pool matches - a full round robin before the top 4 make the semi-finals. Nathan Rarere caught up with Black Cap bowling coach Shane Jurgensen before we came to air to discuss the hype and break down proceedings. He asked how the atmosphere is in India where they LOVE their cricket!
