  • Did you make it ?

    Just curious to see if you made it to Cape Town given Pete chose a car with a cassette player

  • No English bias in this review.

    I’m not biased before anyone asks. This pair of lads being Aussies hasn’t inflicted this review. It’s just that the pod would bore the hole off you. That’s all.

  • Too much advertising

    Gosh the length of that e-SIM advert must have gone on for 5 minutes (in a 20 minute podcast). Then when that finished, another ad!

  • Can you get Joe Aston on as a guest

    Please get the business journalist Joe Aston on as a guest. He’s a great listen and a big cricket fan apparently. Joe Aston is a guest we want to hear.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TENTATIVE DECISIONS with Umpire Paul 'Blocker' Wilson
Q: Why do you think Australians haven't become umpires at elite level, is it un-Australian, or is it because players don't want to pursue that path?
Paul suggests it's a cultural thing; in England umpiring has long been a landscape, but in Australia it didn't traditionally follow players into umpiring, though a project panel and independent pathways are changing that.
YOU BETTER YOU BET: Gambling, Privatisation & Fourty Years of Marios
Q: What was Mark Kempster's experience with gambling, and what sparked his recovery?
Mark describes a prolonged decade-long gambling addiction, the devastating financial and personal toll, and explains that hitting rock bottom during a high-stakes event prompted him to seek recovery, supported by ongoing mental health work and lifestyle changes.
PAIN IN MY HEART: Tim Paine on The Multan Sultans, Coaching Steve Smith & More!
Q: What drew you to the head coaching role with the Multan Sultans?
Paine says the challenge and unknowns of starting fresh with a new franchise were appealing, and he wanted to gain valuable experience that would make him a better coach overall.
WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY: Live From The Wheeler Centre
Q: Who of Brendan McCullum, Ben Stokes, or Harry Brook was most culpable for England's loss?
Pete suggests that the blame primarily lies with Brendan McCullum, the ideologist in the England setup, but acknowledges that Rob Key and Stokes also share some responsibility.
HELL YES: Carey Century On Day 1
Q: Can you explain to me what is Saily?
Saily is a new eSIM service app that offers affordable eSIM plans in over 150 countries.
