It’s advantage Australia: in the women’s Ashes, culturally, and online via Damien Martyn. We catch up with Darcie Brown and Georgia Voll to talk about their inherent advantages and the Melbourne Test, and speak to Izzy Westbury about fitness, criticism, “the gap”, and Bath v China. In between we talk about Wisden’s Test team of the year, Tom Curran’s run out, and Mitch Owen’s explosion in the BBL Final. The men are playing a Test in Sri Lanka.

287. Ashes Procession and Indian Discipline, with Josh Inglis and Barney Ronay 

Are we basking in the BGT afterglow or is it time to critique what’s next? Greg Chappell suggests England’s in the box seat for the Ashes, so I suppose we have our answer. Bailey decimates Australian cricket again with his team for Sri Lanka, Australia’s women start their Ashes defence precisely as we expect, and the Bucket on Bonce League does as well as it can in the circumstances. Which is all a way of saying: how are ya Two-Tier? The Age Chief Cricket writer and Scoop Master(Flex) Dan Brettig joins us in-studio to discuss just that. The Champions Trophy is nearly upon us: the clue’s in the name. There’s some excellent writing out there on the political and moral complexities inherent in the Afghanistan question - we offer something. #asktgc is by people with names like Bingas Pingas.

286. Two-Tiers, with Dan Brettig

Australia win the Border-Gavaskar in Sydney thanks to a man named Barrel and a thing called Slug. It’s the perfect end to a summer of chaos, calmness, controversy, Konstas and karma. The numbers falling in front of our eyes are as mysterious and wonderful as figuring out what day it might be. We discuss India’s behaviour on and off the field, the lack of repercussions or leadership shown by anyone and what the future might look like for an Indian generation that failed to deliver as much as what it once promised.  There’s also a complete sweep of the BBL, the Bancroft/Sams head clash, Dan Christian going from assistant coach to into the playing squad, the Test players returning (haha.. ok), the Stars winning 2 gams in a row and Hilton Cartwright hitting a 121m six.  The women’s Ashes starts on Sunday, so Higgos ponders if it is indeed the most fulfilling dessert to a summer that has given us a main course to die for.

Comedian Billy D'Arcy on Culture Wars, Bumrah and Grade Cricket 

Greats condemn cricketing pyramid ruin as Adelaide looms. That’s right, everything’s on the line ahead of the biggest Test in recent memory, as vultures circle, knives sharpen, and drafts brood for Cummins and co. Can they prove people wrong again, or does every team have an expiry? Does calm, sigma alphadom bounce back, or, as one source described the plight of Australia’s men, are they “like a billycart going downhill”?

Paul Kelly on Cricket, Sports Media, and Club Songs

India completely dominate Australia in Perth and the knives are very much being sharpened. The meltdown has begun and the calls are growing louder and louder for the ‘old Australia’ to return. Has Australia lost its edge? Should we be harder? It’s been suggested that our boys get back to grade cricket, even if it’s 2’s or 3’s!! Glenn Maxwell joins the show to discuss the rollercoaster of playing cricket for Australia in this era. The scrutiny, the pressures, the highs and the lows. We also discuss the IPL auction, Phillip Hughes and how to play Bumrah. That’s before we get into Sheffield Shield, WBBL, New Zealand v England and Pakistan losing to Zimbabwe.

Warner’s leadership ban is lifted, definitely closing the chapter on everything, all tied up in a neat little package. The birds chip McSweeney apparently. The Skeletons make serious history.

Kaylee McKeown wins the right type of gold medal, the come-over-the-top-late type, to continue Australia's gold medal flow. May that tap doth flow forevermore (until week two)! We JAG Bronze in the "four by two", which of course is the correct way to attain this medal, and unfortunately Winnington misuses his carrots. Elsewhere, the Women's Sevens suffer a shock double-loss, confining them to fourth, an Argus Review, and a difficult (for us) interview with New Zealand's Laura McGoldrick. There are also calls for Argus Reviews in the Basketball. The Sharks get up deluxe, The Hockeyroos go down, and Simon Biles elicits the general sentiment of "f*** meeee!" from blokes eating breakfast.

USA Win World Cup Opener | USA vs CAN

Dressed by our mates @BudgySmuggler We're back with Budgy Smuggler to pump up their new underwear campaign.

The code TGC has been set up for a tasty 23% off our underwear and apparel and is valid until the end of June. Bradman’s house is for sale, cricket’s on Amazon, the World Cup’s in America (partly), Jimmy Anderson is going to stop playing and Jimmy Bartel’s on the show. Fair to say the game’s changing. TGC’s back for a run during the World Cup, so we start by discharging our takes on weeks-old news. Things like hosting a bucks at Bradman’s childhood home, disgraceful news-breaking around Jimmy’s retirement, and questioning why the Aussies are still talking about Bairstow. The IPL has finished – absolutely gutted. Zampa says he gets a bigger buzz from international cricket. Another disgrace. Dizzy says grade cricket in SA is selfish. Very out-of-touch. Triple premiership player Jimmy Bartel joins the show: he wants to talk cricket, we want to talk Harley Reid. ESPN Cricinfo’s Alex Malcolm then balances matters with high-level insight into the World Cup. He talks structuring and match-ups, we talk tunnels and testicles. It’s a (Stuart) Broad church, and it knows what it's doing. Great to be back.
