Despite a promising start, the Windies fall for just 289 to an on-song Australian bowling quartet as Pat Cummins takes his 200th wicket and Lyon becomes the 9th-highest Test wicket-taker.

Vas Shipp takes over the hosting chair and Ethan joins him to discuss a historic day for the Aussies where Smith and Labuschagne became just the 5th pair to score double centuries in the same match.

The Windies openers, led by their bright new hope, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, showed good fight in the final session as they look to force the game as long as possible.

Ethan and Ted discuss an interesting first day in Perth on which Labuschagne scored his eighth test ton and the Australians took control despite some tight Windies bowling. 

Braving a multitude of technical difficulties, the boys nonetheless catch up once again to preview the test series beginning on Wednesday. While we expect it to largely act as a tune-up ahead of the Basil D'Oliveira Trophy series against South Africa, there are still plenty points of interest. In particular, can Tagenarine Chanderpaul be the Windies' new superstar and will Khawaja cement his opening position?

Also, Ethan and Ted salivate at the prospect of a Steve Smith who is "feeling good" and the rise of Travis Head, ODI Superstar.

Finally, Navod fills us in on Sri Lanka's struggles to make the ODI World Cup, and Peerson celebrates England's T20WC triumph.

The "Pak Mr Bean" scandal is avenged once and for all as Zimbabwe take an historic one-run victory over Pakistan. 

Ted and our Zimbabwean expert, Elliott Cook, analyse the match and reflect on one of the most bizarre cricketing stories in recent history.

We conclude that episodes like this are why we love the game of cricket, and World Cups in particular.

We try to come to terms with that truly remarkable game of cricket. 

Should THAT ball have been called a no ball?

What on earth happened to Nawaz in the final over?

Was Virat's 82 the greatest T20 innings of all time?

Ted, Ethan and Navod grade each of the teams from the first round as Zimbabwe, Ireland, Sri Lanka and Netherlands progress while the West Indies, stunningly, are eliminated. 

Ted and Ethan take the blowtorch to the West Indies, while Navod is suspiciously kind to Sri Lanka. Navod also is very harsh on T20WC newbies, UAE.
