UK LIVE SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT
Get access to the presale by signing up to our Patreon This English summer, England and India go toe-to-toe in a battle of imperial power, ownership, and who can cry more. That's right: England has Bazball, India has the ICC, Google has Lord’s, and The Oval is Mumbai's fortress. Should England cede its summer to the juggernaut of Indian cricket? Should it hand the game over to those who play, watch, and love it more than anyone else could fathom? Who better to mediate this existential crisis than two uninvited Australians who played mainly two's-three's? Fresh from a sold-out national tour and New York Broadway stage show, join Pez, Higgos and special guests for The Grade Cricketer’s biggest live shows to-date as they examine a summer with both everything and nothing at stake.

It’s advantage Australia: in the women’s Ashes, culturally, and online via Damien Martyn. We catch up with Darcie Brown and Georgia Voll to talk about their inherent advantages and the Melbourne Test, and speak to Izzy Westbury about fitness, criticism, “the gap”, and Bath v China. In between we talk about Wisden’s Test team of the year, Tom Curran’s run out, and Mitch Owen’s explosion in the BBL Final. The men are playing a Test in Sri Lanka.

286. Two-Tiers, with Dan Brettig
Are we basking in the BGT afterglow or is it time to critique what’s next? Greg Chappell suggests England’s in the box seat for the Ashes, so I suppose we have our answer. Bailey decimates Australian cricket again with his team for Sri Lanka, Australia’s women start their Ashes defence precisely as we expect, and the Bucket on Bonce League does as well as it can in the circumstances. Which is all a way of saying: how are ya Two-Tier? The Age Chief Cricket writer and Scoop Master(Flex) Dan Brettig joins us in-studio to discuss just that. The Champions Trophy is nearly upon us: the clue’s in the name. There’s some excellent writing out there on the political and moral complexities inherent in the Afghanistan question - we offer something. #asktgc is by people with names like Bingas Pingas.

285. The Boys of Summer
Australia win the Border-Gavaskar in Sydney thanks to a man named Barrel and a thing called Slug. It’s the perfect end to a summer of chaos, calmness, controversy, Konstas and karma. The numbers falling in front of our eyes are as mysterious and wonderful as figuring out what day it might be. We discuss India’s behaviour on and off the field, the lack of repercussions or leadership shown by anyone and what the future might look like for an Indian generation that failed to deliver as much as what it once promised. There’s also a complete sweep of the BBL, the Bancroft/Sams head clash, Dan Christian going from assistant coach to into the playing squad, the Test players returning (haha.. ok), the Stars winning 2 gams in a row and Hilton Cartwright hitting a 121m six. The women’s Ashes starts on Sunday, so Higgos ponders if it is indeed the most fulfilling dessert to a summer that has given us a main course to die for.

284. A Win For The Ages
Australia wins a classic amid record crowds, final hours, lengthened shadows, herculean bowlers, gus truck opposition, cry more merchants, and Joel Wilson. We dissect, bisect, genuflect to all of it.

282. A Grade Environment, with Nathan McSweeney
Australia wins and Bulldog Ritchie is involved. Does life get any sweeter? It does for 72 hours. We “chop up” the Test, examine important things like blokes, chat, and the 360-fication of the series, and reluctantly explore minutiae like Marnus runs, pink ball tactics and the value of Crats. Australia’s newest toy, Nathan McSweeney, joins the show post-Test circuit, as does journalist Cam Ponsonby to bring us everything from New Zealand-England in Wellington. Our Women dust India, NSW figures prominently in all Shield games, Sri Lanka and South Africa is poised, and AskTGC concerns HR, the IPL, and hair transplants.
