The Grade Cricketer

Shubman Gill makes the statement of the IPL with the thirstiest of thirst traps. Have to respect the lighting. The Ashes is one week closer, so we guess what's going to happen with a few more hours of knowledge. Mitch Starc joins us from Sydney to give his insights into how the squad's golf game is looking. Tom Moody joins us from India to tell us what's going on in Indian cricket and if the IPL means we'll get more shirtless selfies and less Tests. And Phil Walker joins us from London to give us his hopes and fears ahead of the most important Ashes series since the last one.

The Ashes is upon us, and this time it really is The Ashes. Of cricket. Literally. The flaming, dying embers of the game as we know it, which then become actual ashes, followed by bulk bunce in Saudi Arabia or whatever. Nah, not really, because Stokesian captaincy and the Bazball revolution are here to Save Cricket, which if nothing else, permits the hosts early moral superiority points in the 8-week War Of Words which precedes the 6 week Test series. Also, Australia plays India for the actual championship of the thing, which when you think about it makes sense as a warm-up to the main event. The main event being a golf trip in Liverpool. Normal and good. In and around all that discussion is Barney Ronay and Adam Zampa. Onto more familiar matters – the schedule for Australia's home summer has been released with Pakistan, West Indies and South Africa all coming out. Cricket Australia is offering early bird discounts before June 6 - all you have to do is sign up to the Australian Cricket Family at cricket.com.au/acf. Happy to be offering discounts on bunce for a day out at the cricket. Get around it, and it, you. In a circular motion etc. We also talk IPL, ICC distributions, and the social and cultural undercurrents at play on the major existential matters facing cricket, according to two blokes off the Internet. An English cuck writes in for #AskTGC about God knows what in a story about France and a West Indian, and we finish with a visceral minute via “Ginger Century”, who makes a strange, potentially northern English, noise at the end. Can anyone tell us what that noise was? Not in a “secret sound” way – genuinely don’t know what the noise was. And of course you would take Faf’s rig, you TOW-TAL SLAG!

India win the Border Gavaskar series for the 4th time in a row but not before Usman’s emotional hundred, Cam Green’s first hundred, Shubman’s return hundred and Kohli’s drought-breaking hundred. 22 wickets in 5 days. Good stuff, fellas! To that end, we review the series as a whole and what we learnt, if anything. I think it’s that Axar Patel is Bradman. New Zealand have done it again in absolute thriller in Christchurch against Sri Lanka. All the best, lads. The WPL makes us feel safe and scared and we also learn about peripheral characters we’ve not heard of before. Temba Bavuma scores his first hundred in 7 years and Maharaj ruptures his achilles while celebrating a wicket against a West Indian team that hasn’t won an away series in nearly 30 years. Shaun Marsh retires from first class cricket this week, so we ponder if what we got was enough. #AskTGC is from a mix of characters called Anon, Fairbody and The Snake which sees weed brownies, MDMA and bowel movements all combining for a troubling tale of mixing drugs with run outs.

Sure, Australia made history with one of its finest ever performances, but instead we ask: what’s doing vis a vis decks, India? But seriously, Australia was good: Carey kept masterfully, the spinners stirred, Smith marshalled, and is there anything better than seeing The Bin Lid On A Shit Tip? We move to Ahmedabad where Modi will hold court in his 132,000K seat stadium where no one can get a ticket. Elsewhere, The WPL has started explosively. It’s a red-letter day for quality women’s cricket, and a horrendous day for Australian domination. Thankfully, two white blokes are here to explain why. Some other international stuff happened involving England, Bangladesh, South Africa and the Windies, too. Thanks to our guests this week, Trent Copeland and Ramachandra Guha, who each brought class, grace, intelligence and logic to an otherwise meandering offering, which concluded with a question about getting champed mid-Coitus. Speaking of being champed, if you’re considering abandoning TGC on account of us speaking to Mr Guha, thanks for your support, and see ya later (champ). Thanks.EXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/gradecricketerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand pull off their greatest ever Test win in Wellington after being asked to follow on. England are still having fun though. Harry Brook hundreds, Joe Root's reverse laps, Kane Williamson's record breaking innings and Michael Bracewell forgetting how to run. The 2nd Test had it all. Is the Australian Women's team our greatest of all time? Their second World Cup three-peat certainly has us asking questions about what's next for our women. Gallipoli? Southern Cross tattoos? Sledging? Brett Lee in the sheds? And we look ahead to the 3rd Test between India and Australia where one thing is for certain: we're about to get very angry about things again. Fortunately, Greg Chappell has the answers. #AskTGC pertains to English gloating and online discourse.EXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/gradecricketerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another game, another capitulation, another meltdown. After a promising start, Australia found a new way to fall to India, tangled in Ashwin and Jadeja’s web. Thankfully, Healso and Dos are on the case, one with a masterclass in trackies, another with a literal broom on the pitch. Very simple, Chalk. Elsewhere, Australia’s women do it with their eyes closed, so we provide news of their impeding win ahead of time. No doubt that will be appreciated. Bazball reign supreme in Mt Maunganui, so as a coping mechanism we focus on journalist reactions and the sheer wetness of The Nighthawk. To wrap up, AskTGC is about confusing Faf du Plessis with linguistics.EXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/gradecricketerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Direct from Hyderabad, Higgos and Pez bring you most correct and accurate analysis of Australia's latest Indian capitulation. Where did it all go wrong? Selections, prejudice, intrigue, doctoring and ointment all figure. But most compellingly: the importance of a harder nose. Harder anything. Never smart, always hard. #justinlanger. We're also here for the Women's World Cup where Australia destroys again, England play NZ in a series about identity more than anything else, and AskTGC is - frankly - about adultery, grassing, reliable witnesses and group sex.EXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/gradecricketerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s “the jewel in the crown”, “the toughest test in cricket”, and, according to Steve Smith, “bigger than The Ashes”. Yes, Usman Khawaja, The Grade Cricketer and Australia heads to India to commence the final six months in the history of Test cricket - and we’re frothing. We cover visas, selections, purity, Ashwin impersonators, big boy breakthroughs and other obscure matters ahead of the first Test in Nagpur, starting Thursday. Elsewhere, the Scorchers once again win the Bucket on Your Bonce League, and deservedly. Cooper Connolly is all jaw and sex, AT does the business, and they’re probably good because they ignore much of the guest player gear (with the understandable exception of Faf). But do we need to sell it all to India? This is the question of the Asian Century. Jofra’s back and Pez would really like x2 tickets to Lord’s on Days 1 and 2. Completely unlikely, but would like to go with Dad. In the context of all causes it is not even remotely important. And yet, here we are. Our Women should win the World Cup and break records - anything else will be deeply concerning. Moreover, they have one game to get themselves a massive WPL contract. All the best, friends. Then we talk about 90s jingles for 10 minutes, before AskTGC wanders through the common state of delusion one engages when returning to the game in an oversize golf shirt.EXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/gradecricketerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steve O'Keefe steps into the guest co-host chair this week as we bring you a special show, in-person, from North Sydney Oval. Are the Scorchers too good and too scary? What is a spin camp and what is a scarified deck (and how do you say it?). England can’t play white ball cricket anymore, Mott Ball is a myth and sounds a bit like an Irishman saying Moth Ball, India and New Zealand are doing highly memorable white ball stuff too, Dane van Niekerk suffers at the hands of South African self-sabotage, AskTGC concerns milking linguistics, group sex with a peripheral England cricketer, and being appalled with both your cricketing and sexual technique after reviewing it on video.

The cricket industrial complex rolls on mercilessly, dragging our tired minds and eyes with it, so it’s a BUMPER show this week. Higgos takes an overdue breather, so Pez steps in with guest co-host Ed "Ted" Cowan. The Aussie women annihilate Pakistan, Ash Gardner speaks up about Australia Day, Smith’s doing savant stuff, Dan Christian and Steve Eskinazi join the show, Cricket NSW is a DISGRACE according to reports, Shubman Gill goes white ball daddy, David Cameron watches Alex Hales tonne up at the Sheikh Zayed, Root does something in South Africa, Bored Apes hack RCB Twitter, West Indies cricket may cease to exist as an entity, AskTGC ponders whether or not WinViz is “nonce gear”, and Michael Clarke limps his way into a story that not even a Chat GPT, super robot could produce for the Daily Mail. We have only ever been able to cover the bizarre breadth of this strange, strange game with the support of one of Australia’s best fledgling brands – Budgy Smuggler. But this show is a fond farewell to that friend. After five years of sterling support, Budgy Smuggler and TGC bids farewell to one another.

A drab draw closes out the Test summer, and we’re asking: what the fuck was that? Sure Australia destroyed all-comers, passing records and milestones with frightening ease - but why couldn’t they deliver this specific thing exactly as we wanted it? And why did Cummins declare on Khawaja? The reason will shock you (he wanted to win). Elsewhere, there’s a bit of money knocking about for the TV rights, but not as much as last time, and apparently CA and 7 are - in executive parlance - “all good”. The BBL is trending up for the first time in years, helped by contentious catches, Mankads, and Chris Lynn topping the charts. But he’s gone to some other league now. Normal. Pakistan and New Zealand play a riveting Test match before the umpires decided, “nah, can’t have that”, and SKY equals the Czech Republic’s Sabawoon Divizi’s 3 T20i tonnes v Sri Lanka. Congratulations, SKY. #AskTGC is about taking women on dates to an indoor cricket centre, and, frankly, drinking problems. Budgy has both us and you covered wherever you are the world.

It was absolute boot-filling stuff against the West Indies, but now it's 1 vs 2 in the WTC table against South Africa. Brisbane is sold out, then it's Christmas and then it's New Year. David Warner's leadership ban remains, in yet another ugly chapter in the whole, sad debacle. The Big Bash starts today. Is that good? Maybe it's good. Daniel Brettig joins us in studio to discuss Mike Baird becoming the new Chair of Cricket Australia. What does that mean for the average internet user? Ali Martin joins us on a dodgy internet connection from Pakistan (or maybe that was Melbourne's fault) to tell us how amazing this 2-0 series lead has been. Jimmy Anderson is good, Stokes is good, Harry Brook is generational.... but what does it mean for the real series against 'out boys'? The Australia women lose their first match this year, so we completely disown them, as should Indian fans of their team, after yet another series loss in 2022.

“Forget the scorecard,” advises Viru. Well, we can’t. Marnus tripled, Smudge doubled red, Gareth took six and Australia (essentially) cantered. It’s all we asked for, but is it enough? Of course not. So fresh, raw meat is mooted in Adelaide, in the form Lance Morris – all sunken eyes, Dieter Brummer salad – because we demand more. Or maybe it doesn’t matter, because Cummins took a knee. No wonder he did he quad. In Rawalpindi, the To and Froms are legitimately revolutionising the game, but will naivety cost them? And is it Test Championship 2’s? Private Equity wants The Hundred, but Thommo won’t get out of bed unless there a couple bil.

Isn’t it beautiful when blokes just care? Once again our golden generation bails us out of cricketing dystopia in ways “everyday” Australians understand. Forget our systemic sleepwalk into decline, what we really want to know is: who is the alpha? The answer is neither Cummins nor JL, and may surprise you. Elsewhere, blokes continue the eternal quest for social capital, but this time they’re thieving real capital (allegedly), according to Victoria Police. In the old days, focused work on the chest and triceps would do the trick. Nowadays you apparently need bulk sheets to be loved. Separately, Chris Gayle made 95 red in some wheelie bin shit in Dandenong. The PMs XI played, numbers were ascribed to names, and we refuse to know anything about the West Indies. The Strikers are WBBL champions after the Sixers crumbled, begging the question: was there simply too much sun? At least the Sixers still engender safety - the NSW men are weaker than ever and we argue the nation should be concerned. Other countries are playing some cricket, too, and they’re given due respect on this show (about 90 seconds), before the show eventually gives way to material that matters: what strategies exist for minors in team tubs when there’s a bloke called “Felly”?

A special day in the annals of TGC as we sit down with an all-time great: Wasim Akram. The man of such prodigious and electrifying cricketing ability spends just over 30 minutes with us and we cover some ground: being spotted in the streets, circuiting with Imran, playing in England, hooping it, partying, addiction, and much more. The chat coincides with the release of his memoir: Sultan. Wasim teamed up with Gideon Haigh to produce it, and it’s a tome befitting the stature of the man. It’s published through Hardie Grant, and is available wherever Hardie Grant publishes books.EXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/gradecricketerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TGC lands another white whale, without question, the one with the best obliques and leanest body mass. Faf du Plessis joins us to discuss nearly every sordid and amazing achievement of his glittering career. From being told to sit in a bathtub from his idol, Daryl Cullinan, to taking us into the showers of the Durban dressing rooms during Sandpaper-gate, Faf bares all for TGC. We hear stories of Australian abuse, second only to Brendan McCullum's New Zealand apparently, playing with AB de Villiers with fire in his belly and what it's like to captain RCB while Virat Kohli is in the dressing room.If you get the chance, watch this on YouTube as well because he looks absolutely unbelievable.

We start this week with a full dissection of a run out at the non-striker's end in sub-district cricket in Melbourne. Australia have won an ODI series against Drunk England 3s, but is the team winning HARD enough? Steve Smith has found his hands again, though not the captain's armband. Dave Warner's leadership ban is set to be lifted and the WBBL is getting into the business end, but do we like the helmets? Suryakumar Yadav is doing some absolutely wild stuff in New Zealand, not that Virat Kohli saw it. Glenn Maxwell is on the show to tell us about how he broke his leg and what he's been watching on TV since the incident.

They're calling it the best World Cup ever but Australia is out and no one cares about it anyway.... unless you like T20 in which case it is absolutely sensational. Australia is out of the tournament, so what does this mean for the future of the sport in this country. Ed Cowan helps us out with these big issues and also signals that the start of the summer must be approaching. South Africa submit a new entry into their pantheon of great World Cup chokes. Wonder what Tony Greig was like as a bloke. Barney Ronay joins us to give the English perspective. Is Sam Curran good? Is the nation preparing for open bus tours? #AskTGC pontificates the 'champing' of Piers Morgan by Donald Trump.

The World Cup is absolutely ruthless and so is the weather. It's all to play for as we head into the second week of round fixtures. Do New Zealand have a loss in them? Can Australia overturn their NRR? How did England lose to Ireland? South Africa is doing something good and Pakistan is out. Far Du Plessis describes the culture of the dressing room when he first started playing and we discuss a few eye-catching quotes from Tim Paine's new book too. #AskTGC asks what's going on with MyCricket and PlayHQ.

ANNOUNCING OUR NATIONAL LIVE SHOW TOUR We’re live and in the flesh for the first time in three years, returning to the stage for a national tour accompanying the most hotly-anticipated double Test series specifically involving both the West Indies and South Africa in recent memory. Fresh(ish) from our sometimes-chart-topping podcast (charts mean nothing), adoption of paywalled content, and selling out to India, we’re once again hitting the road again to bring you a live show with stories you won’t hear on the pod, told in dubious fashion by the only people who matter in 2022: two blokes off the Internet. Couple of special guests confirmed so far: Brisbane: Justin Langer Melbourne: Ricky Ponting Sydney: Shane Watson With more to be announced… Mark these dates: Tickets for General Public on sale Monday 31 October 9am local time, from https://www.gradecricketer.com/live-shows Our show at The Corner next week sold out in 30 mins. If you want to guarantee your ticket, subscribers to our Patreon service receive an exclusive, Patreon-only pre-sale Friday 28 October from 9am AEDT.

Recorded from a bed at a 1 star hotel in an undisclosed location, Australia's Adam Zampa joins us 24 hours before The World Cup proper begins at the SCG. We cover friendship, sportswashing, leadership, June, match-ups, and most importantly, the importance of the "Get Rarer" movement, crystallised by the donning of lids on lids.

We're joined by ornament to the game, Harsha Bhogle, for a one hour, feature-length interview. We wanted it reverent, he wanted irreverence, so we found a middle ground. We traversed the Asian Century, new and old India, run-outs, the future of cricket, Axar Patel's relationship with the stumps, great lines in commentary, birds, blokes bowling in black belts, Kohli clickbait stuff, whether or not we're allowed to come to his house (and why), and several other matters of debatable importance.

The World Cup is finally here and TGC kicks it off with possibly the loosest show since the last World Cup. Who are the favourites? Is Che La Luna the song of the summer? Will Warner ever captain again? Can Western Australia go all the way after their win over India? What's New Zealand up to? Bharat Sundaresan makes his TGC debut from a seedy hotel in Hobart to give us his insights into his net-relationship with Steve Smith and Reece Topley lets us know of his love affair with Australia, mullets, taking 6/24 at Lord's and the low-down on his current Uber rating. #AskTGC takes us into the urinals at Manuka Oval in the nation's capital and also when sledging a kid's dead dad goes wrong.

National and global cricketing icon, Ellyse Perry joins us for a special interview direct from TGC HQ, aka Higgos’ apartment. Arguably Australia’s greatest ever Womens cricketer, Pez generously fields questions on important matters: like her what’s app messages, her defensive positioning for the Matildas, horses, and whether or not she agreed to this interview for image and brand purposes only. Of course, in-between, she speaks with customary eloquence about her career, the growth of womens cricket, and the faux pas’ that blokes can make. Learn more about your ad choices.

Is any of this funny? We discuss it all after the Charlie Dean and Deepti Sharma 'incident' at Lord's. In better news, TGC is back on stage in Melbourne on November 2 and we want you to come along. In even better news still, Cam Green is 2m and Australia's most exciting T20 talent.... that's not in the World Cup Squad. Pakistan and England are embroiled in a 7 match T20 series and it's actually good and interesting! #AskTGC promotes a Triple C for bowlers and we've also been sent in some alarming alphadom stories of Bradman in the showers, talking to New Zealanders.

The Road Safety World Series is here and we're cooing about Sachin sitting in 1A while Watto's stable base makes us feel like Australia should win this meaningless tournament.

Let's be honest, literally no one cares about Australia's series win against Zimbabwe in Townsville. We're all here to get around the Zimbabweans for their historic achievements. We get 5/10 hero Ryan Burl on a zoom in between net sessions to talk about the circuit, the casino, the showers, the kit and what the Aussies are like as blokes. Chris Lynn also talks to us while waiting fir his UberEats to arrive about the future of cricket and how many different training shirts he must have. Across the equator, Jonny Bairstow has broken his leg ahead of the 3rd and deciding Test against South Africa at The Oval. India and Pakistan are embroiled in the Asian Cup - a tournament that exists solely so these two teams can play each other as many times as possible.

Ben Stokes announces his retirement from ODI cricket after 104 matches for England, but is this the end of ODIs or will we still watch whatever is on TV regardless of the format? India win the ODI series in England 2-1, but all the talk is about Kohli. Is it time to move on? Will he make amends against Zimbabwe? The BBL Schedule is announced... yeah, there's a fair few games on but will Dave Warner be allowed to captain a team? Haris Rauf is on the show to tell us about his time playing 2nd Grade cricket in Sydney and #AskTGC asks a question about a possibly mentally disturbed former Australian A squad member.

Australia's humiliating defeat in Galle leaves us to question if there is any fucking danger? Was it the umpires? Was it the reviews? Was it Sri Lanka's Colombo community breaking into the Presidential Palace to perform backflips in his pool? Was it that Sri Lanka played well? Hard to say. One thing we do know is that betting in Russia is in a good place after a few farmers in Gujarat put on on IPL showcase on YouTube. We ask, so what's the problem? In other news, Virat Kohli hasn't scored a ton in three years but is his currency in franking credits or the dwindling Bitcoin? Barney Ronay is on the show to discuss the fortunes of the English cricket team and what it all means. And finally, #AskTGC makes us ponder what celebrations to mimic on dance floors in Amsterdam, if any.

England may have actually completed cricket with their 4th successive come-from-behind win, this time against India. The numbers are absolutely mind boggling. Minds have been boggled. Meanwhile, Australia won the first Test in Galle against Sri Lanka in about 45 minutes. Are we satisfied? Guess it means Australia have one foot in the WTC Final. With sincere thanks to NT Cricket for giving us access to him, we chat to Wes Agar live on deckchairs, sipping on mocktails about shifting tin, his roof, environments and what he was wearing when his brother Ash hit 98 on Test debut. #AskTGC continues the theme of trying to figure out what the hell is going on with Bazball.

Daryl Mitchell completes the perfect series with three consecutive hundreds in a losing side. NZ... what's doing? Bairstow turns into Bradman thanks to Baz-Ball and England are all of a sudden the greatest team in the world, despite having the exact same players as the ones that lost 17/18 Tests last year. We have trust issues. Australia are playing some mind-games with Sri Lanka... but why? Will Maxwell play? Will Steve Smith do something good? Why is everyone injured? Can Sri Lanka do the unthinkable? Matthew Kuhnemann is on the show to tell us about the teams he's played for and how his winter plans have changed because he now opens the bowling for Australia. #AskTGC questions if life can get any worse than this Thursday and Friday circuit.
