The Grade Cricketer

Australia v West Indies, great catches and even better sunglasses. Nathan Coulter-Nile answers the eternal question of what he is. South Africa say 'thanks, but no thanks' to AB de Villiers as South Africa's tournament looks all but over. India and Rohit Sharma come to the party. Are we sleeping on New Zealand or Bangladesh? Adam Collins joins from Trent Bridge, #AskTGC.

England had the loss they needed, Bangladesh need to play Tests in Australia and Sri Lanka v Afghanistan was "fourth grade". We catch up with Vithushan Ehantharaja from Cricbuzz to discuss fielding metrics and appropriated football songs, before #AskTGC unpredictably covers father issues and toxic masculinity.

Australia and Afghanistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka, West Indies and Pakistan. Stumplosions, beards, booing and everyone is bouncing everyone. We speak to Ali Martin from The Guardian and Shaun Tait joins the show to speak about bowling really, really fast all before we answer some questions about parental advice, moustaches, the worst ever debut and scoring hundreds in a losing side.

We make a huge UK announcement; talk booing, hypocrisy and Empire; catch up with Izzy Westbury to walk through the Royal Commission, What’s App Groups and state-sponsored sledging; chat about circuits and The Espy with the future of Australian Cricket, Will Pucovski; then take your questions with #AskTGC

We talk kits, comebacks, volunteers, Gallipoli, skinfolds, and England winning. Dan Brettig joins; so does Ed Cowan. #AskTGC closes, and contains the usual hybrid of Dad issues & thinly-veiled self-promotion. It's great to be back.

"There was lots of talk of gas and trucks," said Cameron White, who earlier unleashed a Nutrigrain-worthy roar after overseeing the Stars' capitulation in BBL 08. Rob Quiney also joined to provide the Stars perspective, and before that we caught up with Dan Brettig, author of Bradman and Packer - the two greatest silverbacks in Australian cricket lore. There's a season review in there too. Thanks to all who've made this our best podcast season yet. We'll be back.

Fresh from the Australian Cricket Awards, our voices are in a deeper register (result) as we gather wearily to discuss the red (black) carpet, and to take your many and varied questions.

Australia dismantled Sri Lanka and all problems are now solved, England capitulated to the West Indies and it means nothing, we catch up with Ben Jones - The Wiz from CricViz (our words), before chatting with Glenn Maxwell about matters of national interest. In our view, #AskTGC is worth a listen too.

As we near season's end, a big thanks to Toby Shain for mixing our show. He is the voice behind Chop King Cologne, Bravago and all the other (good) fake ads we do, and what a velvety voice it is.

Finally, if you're looking for post-1975 after-dinner material, contact us at [email protected]. We're probably affordable, and we travel.
