  • 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.

Grandstand At Stumps: Mitchell Starc "I don't think 18 wickets means it's a bad wicket"
Q: How did you manage to daily DP through the conditions today?
Starc explains he relied on keeping a consistent length and exploiting swing with the new ball, and then adapting as the surface settled.
The players want it all - protection, pay, leave and loyalty
Q: Have you got time for a couple of quick listener questions?
Yes, they fielded a few questions about schedule practicality, player mobility, and the viability of a pure franchise model, with emphasis on how unions and national contracts interact with overseas opportunities and wage dynamics.
Todd Greenberg on the "damn difficult" BBL privatisation process
Q: Is the privatization path the only way to secure the game's financial future, or are there alternative models being considered?
Greenberg outlines that there are multiple avenues, including better internal efficiency, new revenue streams, and the possibility of hybrid ownership, but stresses that any path must protect the game's core assets and ensure the six states' agreement.
If cricket is for sale, what do the players think?
Q: Do the players feel heard in these negotiations and is there a sense of how much consensus there is?
The ACA confirms regular engagement with Cricket Australia and state bodies, noting progress but acknowledging the negotiations are far from complete; players are not unconditionally supportive and the process requires alignment of multiple objectives, with ongoing dialogue and updates via delegates and surveys.
If cricket is for sale, what do the players think?
Q: What would the next step from here look like for the privatisation process?
The next steps involve CA and the states reaching agreement, CA negotiating a new deal with the ACA, and then moving to secure investors; all of this depends on a renegotiated MOU and a deal that the ACA is happy with, before privatisation can proceed.
