Welcome to 2018 and Episode 72. It's summer in Australia and that means cricket. Learn about the extraterrestrial origins of the game of cricket – yes aliens invented cricket. And my friend Kate joins me in this episode to talk about cricket and some of the memorable Ashes clashes between Australia and the old foe England at the WACA Ground. We also talk about cricketing songs and how bad I was at cricket.

Be warned!! This is a very long episode.

Here's some YouTube videos of cricketing songs:
