Episode notes
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.

Darwin Test, England squad, Stokes interview
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.

Clicking at first slip, with Tom Holland
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.

Renshaw’s historic 190 EXPOSES selector frauds | Day 2 | SA v AUS | Durban Test
It’s Renshaw, it’s always been Renshaw but especially now with a Daddy hundred on foreign soil to turn the match around. So he’ll go ahead and join the back of the queue to bat at 5 for Australia. Doesn’t matter, Mitch Marsh is probably going to take everyone’s spot by the end of the series anyway.

Old man Australia unders again, expect lead | Day 1 | SA v AUS | Durban Test
It’s the same game we’ve watched from Australia in the last 10 years, we’re completely unhappy with the scoreline and we still wholeheartedly believe that Australia will take a three-figure first innings lead. Meanwhile, Bailey bamboozles us with his latest Magic Eye trick. Maybe there's something there to see, we don't see it, but we've never been good with these things. 🌎 Find out if you could pay less for your next hotel booking with PriceMice, the free browser extension from the creators of NordVPN.

Bailey's really done it this time
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.
