YJB was absolutely sensational, Root is the best player ever (at the moment) and Stokes is the captain that England need. But just how bad were New Zealand? Australia are doing good things in Sri Lanka, but will we remember any of this unless Tim David is selected and we feel safety in the size of the men that represent the country. South Africa are winning against India B, not that any of this matters, because the IPL rights just got sold for $5.1billion USD. Wouldn't mind a slice. Liam Livingstone is on the show to tell us how and why he swings so hard and #AskTGC involves a young law clerk being caught in a lie.

 

To help amplify Budgy Smuggler's quest to find the UKs Most Ordinary Rig, we want your "Rig Confessions". Head to www.speakpipe.com/tgc to give us 30 seconds on what your rig means to you.

 

Details on the competition here:

· Entrance is open until June 12th.

· To enter, post a pic on Insta or FB that captures your personality in Smugglers with #BudgySmugglerUK and @BudgySmugglerUK.

· The Finale is in London July 2nd... it will be a Victoria's Secret meets Miss World Style Pageant.

 

We’re looking for rigs who meet the following criteria:

· Good to have beers with

· Can still run for a taxi and swing an axe

· Looks like they were good at sport at some point in their lives but were prevented by injury or poor coaching selection at a young age

· A six pack is an automatic disqualification (unless you are carrying it)

 

What you win:

· A 12 month Modelling Contract with Budgy Smuggler

· A Billboard in their hometown... "Welcome to Town X, Home to the UK's Most Ordinary Rig"

· All expenses paid trip to Australia in 2023 to compete in the World's Most Ordinary Rig.

· Oh and a sash with UK's Most Ordinary Rig...

Is England back or was this 2s v 3s? Root's the best, Broad's vibrations, "team hat-tricks" are for children. Ali Martin lends much needed credibility to all of this. Australia plays Sri Lanka in the big one, same goes India and South Africa. 21 year old Todd Murphy was playing at Kahlin Oval in Darwin a fortnight ago, now he's in Sri Lanka with Australia - he joins us to detail his approach to bullying and aesthetics. The ICCs head honcho says Test cricket doesn't make heaps so, you know, be grateful for what you've got. #AskTGC is about whether one can unbeta oneself.

The men don’t normally win those ones, the women keep winning, England sink further, the IPL is flashy colours and throbbers, Brett Lee talks wheels, circuits, and his podcast, Sweppo joins us from Lahore, and #AskTGC is about Father-Son penis politics.

We preview the “grand final” between Pakistan and Australia, where events in Lahore promise to override anything that’s happened before (I think maybe Khawaja scored runs and he was born in Pakistan?). The women’s team continue to dominate but where’s the loss they “have to have”? West Indies and England play out a bore draw, but Kraigg Brathwaite’s Mum was there - confirming that Mum Stuff trumps Dad Stuff. Zorba returns to the show for a lengthy chat, maybe 18% of which is about on-field cricket. #AskTGC is about cherry intimidation and Will’s sequel to Tall, Thicc and Dad Dick.

Karachi was a classic rear-guard but many are still singing “Fucking flat-flat-flat” to the tune and cadence of Baby Shark (and that’s our problem), Babar’s no longer the tallest dwarf, Rizwan’s face is a yes from me, Happy enough with Australia, the SMH’s Tom Decent joins from Karachi, India brushes past Sri Lanka, Australia’s cruising at the Women’s World Cup, Beth Mooney joins, there’s more Root runs, Ollie Pope shouldn’t hide his nipples, Aaron Finch joins, and #AskTGC is about cosplaying grade cricket tubbing culture.

We compiled your voice tributes to Warnie, it's there at the end of the show. Before then, Australia v Pakistan, India v Sri Lanka, Women's World Cup, West Indies v England, and other stuff that pales in comparison to the Warnie news.

 

We also caught up with CEO of the ACA, Todd Greenberg, who was in Islamabad at the time of recording. His grade pedigree has shaped him well for the challenges of sports administration. The WiFi wasn't great, hopefully you can bear with it.

We got together for 30 minutes to remember Warnie, and to attempt some raw thoughts on how much he meant to us. It’s all still a bit surreal, but the urge was there, so we got in there.

 

Thank you to everyone who submitted their own thoughts via social and via voice. There were literally many hundreds, we were blown away. We will comprehensively reflect these in an upcoming show, soon.

 

Thanks,

Pez and Higgos
