The Grandstand Cricket Podcast

Teddy and Corbin address the media storm that came for our pod last week, before diving headfirst into the opening Test in Perth. 

Who’s under pressure, what can we expect from the pitch, and what can we expect from India?

We then find time to discuss Australia’s recent T20 sweep over Pakistan, the peculiar timing of the IPL auction, and much more. Big ep! 

“Do you know what a selection when data doesn’t support your point of view is? It’s a guess.”

Ed and Corbin dissect the recent news that Nathan McSweeney will open the batting for Australia this summer. Will it backfire?

Finally, Australia was beaten by Pakistan in their recent ODI series. We ask the question, does anyone care? 

Corby is back from his tour of the US, and the lads have a lot to catch up on!

Teddy tries to make sense of the recent ball-tampering allegations involving India A, before discussing the rapid rise of Nathan McSweeney in the race for a Baggy Green. Is he the right man for the job? 

The lads then head overseas to try and make sense of what on earth happened in India, as New Zealand made history in Mumbai. 

The Kiwis handed India a historic Test series defeat. Pakistan thrashed England. Those results might have Australian fans excited, but the Aussie top order is in desperate need of some time in the middle ahead of a massive summer. Who is winning the race for that final Aussie Test spot?  Ed and Spriggy break down all the results, before looking at our own backyard. 

Test cricket is alive and well!

Ed and Spriggy celebrate the week that was in Test cricket, because it was magic. New Zealand skittled India, and Pakistan conquered Bazball, and we watched it all. 

There’s Shield action to dissect, and a failed World Cup campaign for our Aussie women. What went wrong?

That’s the question on every cricket fan’s lips today.

Ed and Spriggy react to the news that Cameron Green will miss the Aussie summer due to back surgery. Who takes his spot?

The lads also wrap what was a massive week in Shield cricket, our Aussie women are dominating the World Cup, and England take the p*** in Pakistan. 

Lots to get stuck into cricket nerds! 

We are the pod that never stops!

Brett Sprigg comes in at first drop while Corbin takes a break, and Teddy calls in from the Sunshine Coast. 

We talk the Women’s T20 World Cup, Shield Cricket, and how the Aussie summer is shaping up. 

Teddy and Corbin were both at the MCG for the AFL Grand Final over the weekend. What can cricket learn from the big dance in Melbourne?

Australia beat England by 49 runs in a rain-affected game overnight, to clinch the ODI series 3-2.

The guys break down the series win before turning their attention to other international fixtures. 

There’s lots of cricket on at the moment cricket nerds, and Teddy and Corbin do their best this week to cover a lot of ground and make sense of it all. 

They take a look at domestic results and individual standouts, Australia’s massive ODI winning streak rolls on and a six-day Test in Sri Lanka, we find out why.

Corbin & Ed discuss Australia’s white ball tour of England, are all-rounders the future of T20 cricket and how many spots are up for grabs in the line-up? 

Plus Usman Khawaja hints at a reshuffle in the Test team and is Canberra best placed to become the next BBL franchise?
