  • Australia vs South Africa Test Series Preview

    Australia’s Test series against South Africa is finally here, and Cricket Unfiltered previews the opening Test in Durban. Menners and Damien Watson discuss Nick Maddinson’s surprise recall, Cameron Green’s injury, the battle between Cooper Connolly and Maddinson for a batting spot, and whether Nathan Lyon still has something to prove.

Ash Gardner addresses her recent controversy, while the guys break down the ICC’s latest playing-condition changes — including penalties for batter time-wasting, pink balls in day Tests and new rules around stumpings and run-outs.

    Plus, Australia’s series prediction, Nathan McSweeney’s big Australia A century, and the return of Johnny Bairstow to the Big Bash.

  • What Are We Worried About? Looking Back at Sandpapergate

    Australia's Test series against South Africa is just around the corner, so Menners and Damian Watson get stuck into the rivalry, the state of Australia's white-ball cricket and, inevitably, the ghosts of Sandpapergate.

    Australia has already lost the ODI series, raising questions about the middle order, Pat Cummins' captaincy and who can fill the Glenn Maxwell-shaped gaps in the side. Jack Edwards' breakout performance and Sam Harper's push for Test selection also get plenty of attention.

    There's also plenty happening off the field, with Cricket Australia chairman Mike Baird stepping down amid the ongoing Big Bash privatisation saga, while the boys discuss the future of the BBL and whether fans are at risk of losing the identity of their teams.

    And then it's back to 2018. Menners reflects on covering Sandpapergate at the time, the toxic atmosphere surrounding that South Africa series, Steve Smith's emotional press conference and how the scandal changed Australian cricket forever.

    Key moments:

    (04:55) Why Australia-South Africa is still such a fierce rivalry
    (08:48) Jack Edwards' breakout performance and Australia's ODI middle-order problem
    (13:20) Australia's World Cup concerns and the Pat Cummins captaincy question
    (15:12) Could Mitch Marsh really return to Test cricket?
    (20:00) Mike Baird steps down as Cricket Australia chairman
    (26:38) Is Big Bash privatisation threatening the identity of the teams?
    (33:00) Why Sandpapergate became such a boiling-point moment
    (43:42) Menners remembers covering Sandpapergate and Steve Smith's emotional return

  • Marnus Picked AGAIN and Mad Menners on the Big Bash Fiasco

    Marnus Labuschagne has been picked again — and Menners is not impressed. This week, Menners breaks down Australia's Test squad for the South Africa tour, questions Marnus' continued selection and asks whether the selectors are doing more harm than good. He also looks at the inclusion of Cooper Connolly and Matt Kuhnemann, and whether Australia is doing enough to future-proof its Test attack. 

    Then it's back to the increasingly chaotic saga of Big Bash privatisation, with Cricket Australia pushing ahead despite disagreement among the states and players. Menners looks at Cricket Victoria's role, the proposed sale of the Renegades, the potential impact on grassroots cricket and why he thinks Australian cricket's governance has gone badly wrong. 

    And finally, it's another chapter in the never-ending Jonny Bairstow stumping saga.

    (00:04) Big Bash privatisation chaos and Cricket Australia's latest announcement
    (05:55) Marnus Labuschagne picked again — is selection becoming a problem?
    (09:12) Why dropping Marnus might actually be better for him

    • Australia vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Day 2 Wrap: Another Disappointing 2-Day Test

      Australia wrapped up the Bangladesh series with a dominant innings-and-51-run victory in Mackay, but the two-day Test leaves plenty to discuss. Menners questions the quality of Australian pitches after another Test finished inside six sessions, while also assessing Australia's unresolved batting problems heading into South Africa.

      Mitchell Starc was the star with 10 wickets, Cameron Green continued to strengthen his case at No. 5, and Nathan Lyon bounced back with three wickets. Menners also looks at Shoriful Islam's outstanding 7-48, Bangladesh's historic series win in Darwin, and what Australia should do with its batting order for the South Africa tour.

      • Australia vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Day 1: Starc Demolishes Bangladesh

        What a day in Mackay! An extraordinary 18 wickets fell on the opening day of the second Test, with Mitchell Starc producing a devastating spell of 6-12 as Bangladesh were bowled out for just 64.

        But Australia couldn't capitalise. After getting themselves into a dominant position, the batting order collapsed yet again, with Shoriful Islam taking 6-35 and Australia stumbling to 8-165 at stumps. Cameron Green's unbeaten 51 and Steve Smith's 42 have given Australia a lead of 101, but Bangladesh have fought their way back into the contest.

        Menners looks at Starc's incredible performance, the concerns around Australia's batting, another failure for Marnus Labuschagne, Bo Webster's place in the side, the spicy Mackay pitch and whether Australia have left the door open for Bangladesh to turn this into a much closer Test.


        (00:04) — An extraordinary 18-wicket day in Mackay
        (04:40) — Mitchell Starc's incredible start and record-breaking first over
        (09:09) — Bangladesh bowled out for 64 and Australia's missed opportunity

      • Renshaw Returns, Marnus Under Pressure & Smith vs Ponting

        Australia are staring down the barrel of a series defeat to Bangladesh, and Menners and Damian Watson ask whether the first Test was a one-off or a sign of deeper problems for the Australian side. They discuss Jake Weatherald’s axing and Matt Renshaw’s return, Marnus Labuschagne’s future at No.3, Beau Webster’s position and whether Australia should start blooding younger players.

        Plus, Bangladesh’s impressive victory gets plenty of credit, Steve Smith vs Ricky Ponting, David Warner’s drink-driving offence, Justin Langer winning The Hundred, Australia’s performances in the men’s and women’s competitions, Alex Carey’s 50th Test and India’s win over Sri Lanka.

      • (01:20) — Was Australia complacent against Bangladesh?
      • (04:06) — Could Australia really lose the series 2-0 at home?

      • The Day After Australia's Worst Ever Defeat

        Australia are reeling from their stunning nine-wicket defeat to Bangladesh in Darwin, but is it really the worst loss in Test history? Menners breaks down the fallout from the defeat, the pressure on Marnus Labuschagne and Jake Weatherald, and the selection questions facing Australia ahead of the second Test in Mackay. He also discusses Pat Cummins' frustration with the top order, Nathan Lyon's future, the need to regenerate the Australian side and whether Cooper Connolly could be part of the next generation. Plus, a look at why Bangladesh deserve more respect and a final word on Stuart Broad's failed Logies campaign.

        • (0:56) Australia's shock nine-wicket defeat to Bangladesh and whether it really ranks as the country's worst-ever Test loss. 
        • (5:28) Pat Cummins' frustration with Australia's top-order batting and the decision to bat first. 
        • (9:23) Andrew McDonald's post-match comments and the growing pressure on Marnus Labuschagne. 
        • (10:25) Could Australia make changes for Mackay? The selectors leave the door open for new players. 
        • (14:18) Nathan Lyon, Australia's ageing core and why it's too early to panic. 
        • (18:12) Australia's next generation: Renshaw, McSweeney, Connolly and the pressure on Webster. 
        • (20:27) Stuart Broad's failed Logies campaign and the great Australian Broad T-shirt conspiracy
