  • 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: Hazlewood's haul helps Australia home
Q: Taking us back to the first innings and how things went on day one, what was your plans?
Matt Renshaw says he aimed to stay at the crease, build partnerships with the lower order and face as many balls as possible.
Grandstand at Stumps: Hazlewood's haul helps Australia home
Q: How much is that being spoken about with this group to just get into the grind over here?
Josh Hazlewood says the pitch conditions called for pressure, accurate bowling and patience, with the hope that the new ball would bring rewards on the deteriorating surface.
Grandstand at Stumps: This is Matt Renshaw's Test Match
Q: What did you see in that short ball?
Gillespie said Smith appeared to take a glancing blow, but the medical staff were right to monitor him carefully because concussion symptoms can be delayed, particularly after previous head knocks.
Grandstand at Stumps: This is Matt Renshaw's Test Match
Q: How do you assess the position of the game?
Hazlewood said Australia were happy with their position after a dominant day, with Renshaw contributing with both bat and ball and the bowlers doing their jobs.
Renshaw's Renaissance
Q: Could Australia's current selection strategy be a Moneyball-type shift toward experience over potential, and is it sustainable?
Cowan says the selectors are deliberately choosing players they believe can win matches, and that their results have been strong. Whether this creates a good long-term legacy can only be judged over time.
