S1 Ep 3131. SCG Secrets, Best Aussie Test Venues, and Cricket Myths That Are Frog Sh*t

Australia’s T20 loss to Pakistan gets the “warm-up game” treatment but there are still real watch-points: Cooper Connolly’s bowling keeps impressing, his batting… not so much, and the boys talk squad balance as the World Cup edges closer. Plus a big tick for WA quick Marley Beardman, with plenty of hype (and a few gears still to come).Then it’s back to the family Q&A. Favourite Australian Test grounds, the best state cricketers who never got the Baggy Green, and a quality spray on cricket myths that refuse to die.There’s also a proper DRS deep-dive: the “benefit of doubt” tradition, inconsistent tech across countries, and why some reviewed balls seem to live in a parallel universe. Finish it off with helmets changing technique, and two all-time “worst bowler to get you out” stories.All Over Bar the Cricket with James Brayshaw, Matthew Hayden and Greg Blewett.Watch the show on YouTube www.youtube.com/@AllOverBarTheCricketInstagram https://www.instagram.com/alloverbarthecricketTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@alloverbarthecricketContact us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
