Summer is back and COVID is sort of gone in some states, so we inject the vaccine into our veins that is cricket in December, Steve Smith runs and Indian Scaredy Bats.

 

We’re talking selection conundrums, barefoot circles, letters to Bradman and new Big Bash rules.

 

Steve Smith is on the show to confirm his one of his blow ups at Sutherland is true, captaincy, Marnus getting Test player of the year and if Tim Bresnan cost England his citizenship by giving him gloves instead of a county gig.

 

Ed Cowan is on the show to kick off the summer for the 5th season running to discuss what Virat’s like as a bloke, Power Surges and X-Factors; and scoring runs against South Australia.

 

#AskTGC involves promotions, bucks parties and shitting yourself during an appeal.
