Mitch Starc is back on the pod with Adam and Heals before flying out to join the Aussie squad in South Africa. He talks facing old IPL mates and previews SA conditions, unloads on the BBL sell-off and what it means for the WBBL, and makes his case for why one-day cricket still matters. Plus Hadds previews NSW's One Day Cup opener, we wrap Australia's Zimbabwe series, and dig into Harry Brook's white-ball form, Kevin Pietersen's new England gig and the county cricket relegation drama.

Pat Cummins is back — this time for Player Who. His favourite dismissal? Joe Root — and the reason behind it isn't the one you'd expect.

Elsewhere, hidden talents in the squad finally get outed (there's a surprisingly good darts story), we find out who's landed the biggest six of Pat's career, and there's a genuinely funny one from his rookie days. Pat also weighs in on who the most intelligent teammate he's played with actually is and a captain he admires.

He was the listener-voted dream guest — and now Pat Cummins is finally here. He joins Heals and Adam for his first-ever Keepin' It Cricket appearance.

The Bangladesh fallout gets addressed head-on, with a firm pushback on the "didn't prepare properly" narrative. Then it's South Africa — sledging, conditions, and why the squad's carrying 16 — before he looks ahead to the five-Test tour of India. On BBL privatisation, his most detailed take yet: protecting the Test window is non-negotiable.

Plus Sundries with Heals and Adam: England-Pakistan, the Asia Cup, and the BBL's off-season chaos.

Hadds and Heals are back for a bonus lap of The Player Who — and this one's a ripper.

Quick singles you'd never risk, the players who actually scared them (a certain Proteas allrounder cops it more than once), and the blokes who are an absolute liability at a high five.

Plus — their combined dream guest list for the podcast, headlined by a current Australian captain who's never said yes... yet.

Who scares you most on a cricket field? Worst high-fiver in the game? Who should Hadds and Heals land next? Let us know in the comments.

Glenn Maxwell joins Hadds and Heals for a special guest edition of The Player Who — and the answers do not disappoint.

Who showed zero sympathy for Maxwell's most famous cramping innings against Afghanistan. Which World Cup winner celebrated so hard he broke the actual trophy. The bowler whose release point Maxwell still can't pick, even now. The net session that turned into target practice on his ribs. Finch's karaoke moment that spiralled into a full meltdown. The book cover snub that still gets brought up. The most underrated player in the game, according to Maxi. And his GOATs across ODI, T20 and Test — plus the 2am hotel-wall story that came with one of them.

Big one this week 🚨 Glenn Maxwell jumps on the pod live from The Hague, filling us in on captaining (and owning) the Belfast Wolves in the brand new European T20 League — plus what it's actually like juggling player, captain AND owner all at once.

Before that, Hadds and Heals dig into England's series win over Pakistan at Lord's — and Joe Root's blunt reaction after one of his squad got themselves in strife off the field the night of the win. We also get into the Big Bash's new powerplay rule for time-wasting at the death, the latest on Ben Stokes edging closer to Adelaide Strikers, and the mind games around Kagiso Rabada's fitness ahead of the Australia series.
