Menners and Stuart MacGill break down the latest from the T20 World Cup, headlined by Australia entering the tournament without many of their traditional big names and what it means for their chances. The hosts analyse Nepal’s near-upset of England, strong performances from Pakistan, West Indies, India and New Zealand, and why finishing games under pressure separates elite teams from the rest.

The discussion then turns to Australia’s evolving lineup, with Head, Marsh, Green, Inglis, Maxwell and Zampa leading a new-look side. The balance between specialists and all-rounders, along with selection pressure and injuries, becomes a central theme.

The episode also covers Kurtis Patterson’s Sheffield Shield form and what it says about player pathways and development, before unpacking key MCC law changes and finishing with a thoughtful Smith vs Ponting discussion on greatness and mindset.
