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. Probably all you need to know.
