  • The Aussie Team’s future

    Hey guys, I have been listening for a while now and love all the podcasts.

    The Australian team is in a really weird spot with most our blokes on the back end of their time as bowlers and batters. As a suggestion, why keep all these blokes in for the final test when we have already one the series. Keep the essential players but anyone else, sub them in for younger blokes like Todd Murphy, Cooper Connolly, Nathan Mcsweeney etc. let them show the older blokes and the selectors what they have to o... more

  • What would Sunny say?

    When Steve Smith got out and Kerry came in and Cameron Green got out it was beginning to look like there was gonna be a calamity of wickets. Cameron Greens wicked was very much a soft dismissal. Playing like a millionaire. But it was entertaining. Can you have both at the same time?

  • Leaving, now

    I recently returned to listening to this podcast - around the start of the 2025-26 Test series between Australia and England. The smugness/arrogance of Ed Cowan had previously bothered me a bit - but I was generally prepared to tolerate it, as I was appreciating Ed Cowan’s insights. However, after listening to the November 2025 “live” episode recorded in a pub in inner Sydney, I don’t think I can take any more of Ed Cowan. In the pub setting, the smugness/arrogance became even more obvious - a... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Test XI Selection Non-Negotiables and Boof Incoming
Q: Is Josh Inglis young enough to eventually take over from Alex Carey behind the stumps, and who else is waiting in the wings?
Copeland says Inglis is young enough and could progress naturally into the role over the next three or four years. He names Sam Harper among the potential successors and says other talented, untested players are also emerging.
Test XI Selection Non-Negotiables and Boof Incoming
Q: Should Australia and South Africa play each other more often, perhaps once every four years, as with the Ashes and Border-Gavaskar Trophy?
Copeland says more frequent contests would be good for cricket and argues that three-match series are too short, while noting that the two governing bodies would need to agree on a workable schedule.
Grandstand At Stumps: Sizzling Starc brings Australia back on see-sawing day
Q: How does the group do it when seemingly a test is getting away from you?
Starc credited the team's experience, calmness and ability to avoid dwelling on a poor start, reassess quickly and focus on the job.
Grandstand At Stumps: Sizzling Starc brings Australia back on see-sawing day
Q: When you looked at the pitch before the start of play, did you expect that it would offer more assistance than it eventually did?
Starc said he had not examined the pitch closely, but the team expected more sideways movement and pace than it provided.
Grandstand At Stumps: Inglis and Lyon put Australia within reach of series victory
Q: Chasing on this wicket, how are you expecting it to play if you have to bat on day five and chase a number upwards of 200?
Inglis expected spin from the rough and possibly lower bounce, but said the pitch had no other unusual behavior. He said Australia would need to prepare plans for the spin.
