Baz and Gordo breakdown the "Aussie Cricket Crisis" aka the ball tampering furore and what it means for the future of Australian Cricket. Gordo gives England a massive bake. The guys reflect on the West Indies and Afghanistan's performance in the World Cup Qualifiers and they recap (and rant about) the Sheffield Shield Final.

Baz and Gordo pour one out for the dying art of "The Send Off" before breaking down Australia's disappointing loss to South Africa in Port Elizabeth. They check in with how the West Indies World Cup Qualifiers are going, do a drive-by preview on the upcoming New Zealand vs. England Test Series and of course... talk about the Sheffield Shield.

We're all sad about losing to South Africa in Port Elizabeth, so let's jump in the time machine to talk about it as it hadn't happened yet. The boys also talk about David Warner and the Park Life Question: "When to pull your teammates into line?" as well as 'preview' the rest of the South African series. Then, Gordo and Baz debate whether West Indies will qualify for the 2019 World Cup and talk at length about one of the most exciting Sheffield Shield seasons in memory. (Apologies, this episode was recorded on Wednesday 7th March... sometimes life gets in the way.)

For this week's Park Life Lesson, Gordo asks Baz: "What is IT?" when judging cricketing talent and whether or not you should judge players by what they have now or what they might develop in later? (1:25) The Nuffies then break down the upcoming South Africa vs. Australia Tests including their predictions for the series, (15:36) review Round 8 of the Sheffield Shield (35:23) and preview Round 9. (52:17) Keep an ear out for Baz's #VicsDoItBetter bet...

The lads begrudgingly discuss Australia Tri-Nations T20I series win and talk about the shifting focus from red ball cricket to white ball cricket in the global game. Then Gordo makes Baz smile again when they talk about Sheffield Shield.

Welcome to cricket's night of nights... The Nuffies Awards! Baz and Gordo hand out some esteemed accolades including The Platinum Cockroach, The "What About Me?!" Shannon Noll Memorial Award and Tomorrow's Legend among many, many more. The lads also discuss the ridiculousness of the Allan Border Medal, chat all things Sheffield Shield and try and solve this week's Park Life Lesson is "How do you get out of a rut?"

This Week on Nuffies and Nude Balls... The Boys discuss whether finals cliches real after a white ball set back... Then it's down the cricket badger burrow to discuss everything from triple threat players to a Lynn v Maxwell conspiracy and who's going to dominate the Sheffield Shield...

(We Love Cricket!)

This Week on Nuffies and Nude Balls...

Our Park Life Lesson is: "Who has right of way? Bowlers or Captains?" The Boys go Around the World in Six Deliveries to breakdown all of the stories from U19 World Cup (How about Lloyd Pope?!), the weird and wonderful game at the Wanderers between South Africa and India and the BBL. (They couldn't bring themselves to talk about the ODI series...) They round out the pod by entering into a Selection Smackdown over the Tour of South Africa and T20I squads...

This Week on Nuffies and Nude Balls...

Our Park Life Lesson is: "Should we always want to play cricket? (Even if we might lose?!)" The Boys go Around the World in Six Deliveries to breakdown all of the stories from the ODI series between Australia and England, the Test Series between South Africa & India and the U19 World Cup currently on in New Zealand. Finally, the Boys tuck themselves in with a dose of pajama cricket with a BBL recap in their regular segment "Domestic Dreaming" including the pressing question... Is D'Arcy Short the next David Warner or Glenn Maxwell?
