In this episode of Menners Masterclass, Andrew Menczel sits down with legendary Australian cricketer and TV personality Mike Whitney for part two of their conversation. Whitney reflects on his post-cricket life, including his successful media career hosting Sydney Weekender and Who Dares Wins, and shares how those unexpected turns shaped him beyond the game. The two also dive deep into the upcoming Ashes series, analysing selection debates, leadership under Pat Cummins, and England’s “Bazball” approach. From tales of Doug Walters and Len Pascoe to stories from 27 years on television, Whitney brings humour, humility, and a wealth of experience to a lively, wide-ranging chat that celebrates Australian sport and storytelling.
