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

187. Season Finale, with Shane Watson and Chris Rogers

“Every week! Every week!” As we wind down the summer (there’s more cricket than ever) we start by exploring this profound quote in light of some more dark club cricket shit, followed by the lightness of Australia’s lead over England in the Women’s Ashes. Alyssa Healy gets the Women’s World Cup on TV, CA says no to Smith, Smith says yes to NFTs, South Africa sweeps India, and England posts the most one-sided one run win against the Windies. Shane Watson is on Zoom and Chris Rogers is in the studio, before we finish it off with AskTGCs about trappings and tubbing at an indoor centre. Thanks for the Australian summer, we’ll be back in 3-4 weeks.

But not if you’re on Patreon! We’re storming through, and we’ve got a special offer for 7 days only. If you join now, we’re offering 15% off for an annual subscription - it wraps up at the end of January.

The men's Ashes is over and we're all a bit sad, angry, pissed off, drunk and other visceral emotions. Cam Green's tall isn't he? Phil Walker dials in from The UK to give us some very visceral and poetic minutes. Kohli steps down as captain after not being reprimanded. The Big Bash is a domestic T20 League in Australia. The Under 19 World Cup is on and Higgos is living out his dream of batting 3 for Australia. Simon Katich is on to discuss playing with Usman at Randwick-Petersham and the future of coaching. #AskTGC asks what the point of any of this is.
