250. How Do You Beat India? with Shane Watson & Gideon Haigh

We’re back, baby! Yep, definitely. Australia’s off the mark, noses are harder, someone said “lift!” and now the Cup is surely ours. Sure, India appear completely unbeatable, but that’s their problem: no one wants to lead the Melbourne Cup at the first furlong (or some shit)! Shane Watson joins to add credibility to all of the above. Elsewhere, Bancroft and Renshaw record hundreds, Caleb Jewell is of interest, and Michael Neser is Australia’s best bat. The Women handle the Windies and the covers, and we acknowledge the 1973 team, with Sharon Tredrea et al. We then speak with cricket writing titan Gideon Haigh about the future of the game, and his next move after departing The Australian. Following Gideon, AskTGC appropriately drips with prose. That’s right, it’s Pat Cummins erotic fiction. Thanks. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
