The sandpaper reduxes are running dry and it's almost time for Australia to return to South Africa for the first time since 2018. Australian's are never satisfied so even a 3-0 win may seem like a failure. Marnus tons up in a 'low intensity' warm up game, Martin Guptill is playing Sydney test cricket and miraculously India and Pakistan are in the same group again for the ODI World Cup.

Alex Malcolm from Cricinfo sits in this week to help us wave goodbye to the UK summer as the clubbies begin wheeling out their bowling machines across Australia. Meanwhile, a lidless Razaullah offers up inevitable comparisons to Pakistani greats, the Aussies face off with a team that has had the wood over them in recent times and Steve Smith gives us his middling indifference on playing in next year's Ashes series.

Is it the decks? Is it TikTok? Or is it just an inherent lack of ability rendering Test batters mostly useless in this country? Do we need to compulsorily acquire suburban land so that middle class kids can have a backyard? Also, Brydon Carse proves that it actually is quite difficult to go out and not end up in handcuffs, Tugga has some thoughts on franchise cricket and Jaiswal and Asitha cop fines after their heads come together...somehow.

Australia lost to this team. Nathan Lyon bowled well, turns out he is still pretty good when he's given the chance to bowl. A big day for Slug and not for particularly good reasons. Bowling averages in Australia are low and so are the batting averages, so what's going on? 🌎 Get our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ↣ https://nordvpn.com/tgc It’s risk- free with Nord’s 30-day money back guarantee!

Test cricket is back in Australia and most of the country have no idea it's happening. Doesn't matter because The Cartel™ is back together for a couple of one-day tests. Will Father Time remain undefeated? Cam Green break the home hundred hoodoo? Will we all be talking about "carry percentages" by the time summer rolls around? Meanwhile, England has announced its zany 16-man squad to take on Pakistan, Sam Curran looks forward to the end of The Hundred and Rishabh tries to buy property via Twitter.

Missionary works, especially for England. Their new appointments of Stephen Fleming and Joe Root are sensible but boring. Is Root just a placeholder until Harry Brooks' diet evolves past eating crayons. Is Stokes' potential move to the Sydney Sixers a sign he's not quite done with cricket yet and we hear from fans who actually enjoy the hundred. Matt Roller joins the show to chat England and the Hundred before AskTGC covers weak men and penalties for hitting the dog.

Controversies abound at first slip as an entire country of grade cricketers ask "why didn't I think of that?" Meanwhile, England still have no idea who's going to lead their test team on the field or off the field as the north of England is SNUBBED from next year's Ashes schedule. And we chat to esteemed historian Tom Holland from The Rest Is History to find out which wars offered the best batting decks and what Jesus would have thought about Bairstow's stumping.
