Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jim Maxwell 09-11-2025
Q: How do you feel walking into the comms box for the first ball of an Ashes series?
Pretty relaxed; after years of experience, I no longer have expectations, but the atmosphere is always thrilling.
Jim Maxwell 09-11-2025
Q: Can you see any retirements post-Ashes series this year for any of the Australian team?
There might be some forced retirements, particularly for older players like Khawaja, but others like Smith and Stark are likely to continue.
Jim McGrath 02-11-2025
Q: Jim, I know you like the chances of one smooth operator who is back again for another crack at the Cup and was so good in the Moonee Valley Cup.
I think the key to him is the ground, but he would dearly love to win this race.
Jim McGrath 02-11-2025
Q: What about this Irish bred French trained horse, Prisage Nocturne? What are your thoughts on his chances?
I'm very keen on him, Adam. He can win the Cup.
Jim McGrath 02-11-2025
Q: Jim, can we start with our referees? Got 59 kilos. History says that could be too much, but have we ever had a better credentialed international horse running the Melbourne Cup?
Not in modern times anyway. His record is remarkable.
