Pete and Gid watch Sri Lanka monster Australia at Palakelle, and wonder how much the T20 World Cup means to their countrymen, as distinct from the players, who looked gutted.  Is Australia on the way out?  Look out Oman, we're comin' at ya, all guns blazing.....

Pete and Gid review the state of the cricket nation in a sell-out session live at the Wheeler Centre. How good is Australia? How good were the Ashes? What season is it again? Thanks to everyone for coming last night - was great to catch up with so many subscribers and listeners. And thanks to Tooms and Sue for the dynamic pix of Et Al in action.

Pete and Gideon watch Pakistan destroy Australia then the T20 World Cup, plunging cricket into crisis by forfeiting their huge match against India on 15 February.  Does this portend an irrevocable split in world cricket?  Or was it maybe always coming?  Pat Cummins won't be there either.  Why is he advertising it?  Couldn't they get Steve Smith?  Oh wait.....  Plus Harry Brook and his state of leatheredness: is the cover-up always worse than the offence?

Also India lose an(other) home ODI series. Plus we have a rummage in Pete’s new cassette collection (formerly Gid’s), discuss recent and upcoming gigs, and have some reading recommendations.
