The Grade Cricketer

Around the world of cricket in around 2 hours. Today's episode is a TGC megamix of guests. Firdose Moonda joins us from South Africa to preview their upcoming summer. Peter Lalor calls in from Sydney to chat all things Mike Baird and Australian cricket governance. Dan Cherny swings by the studio for a whip round on Australia A, the South Africa series and where all the runs are. Ali Martin wraps up the England summer from Birmingham and Japan's own Declan Suzuki gives us the lowdown on Japan cricket and THAT wide call against India.

Alex Malcolm from Cricinfo sits in this week to help us wave goodbye to the UK summer as the clubbies begin wheeling out their bowling machines across Australia.

Meanwhile, a lidless Razaullah offers up inevitable comparisons to Pakistani greats, the Aussies face off with a team that has had the wood over them in recent times and Steve Smith gives us his middling indifference on playing in next year's Ashes series.

TGC go past Bradman. The longest run up for a delivery ever. A village cricketer wants to helicopter to Lords after his wedding. 

Are England the greatest ever test team or are Pakistan just at a generational low.

Is it the decks? Is it TikTok? Or is it just an inherent lack of ability rendering Test batters mostly useless in this country? Do we need to compulsorily acquire suburban land so that middle class kids can have a backyard?

Also, Brydon Carse proves that it actually is quite difficult to go out and not end up in handcuffs, Tugga has some thoughts on franchise cricket and Jaiswal and Asitha cop fines after their heads come together...somehow.

Australia lost to this team. Nathan Lyon bowled well, turns out he is still pretty good when he's given the chance to bowl. A big day for Slug and not for particularly good reasons. Bowling averages in Australia are low and so are the batting averages, so what's going on?

Bangladesh close in on a historic test match win on Australian soil, while the Aussies seem to do everything in their power to ensure their own annihilation. Is this a sign of the next 20 (read:19) tests for the Aussies?
