The Grade Cricketer

The sandpaper reduxes are running dry and it's almost time for Australia to return to South Africa for the first time since 2018. Australian's are never satisfied so even a 3-0 win may seem like a failure.  Marnus tons up in a 'low intensity' warm up game, Martin Guptill is playing Sydney test cricket and miraculously India and Pakistan are in the same group again for the ODI World Cup.

Main podcast out tomorrow. In the meantime we sit down with Cricket Victoria CEO Nick Cummins to break down why they’re selling the Renegades, what fans stand to gain or lose, the threat of monopoly ownership, the changing economics of international and T20 cricket and what this all means for domestic cricket in Victoria.

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?
