The Grade Cricketer

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.

The England womens team are solving Rubik's cubes on the balcony whist Ausrtalias womens team are caught up in a cheating scandal.
