288. Bondi to Coogee, with Darcie Brown, Georgia Voll and Izzy Westbury
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. We’ve seen the pitch, and all we can say is “well well well”. AskTGC closes it out as per. Buy Six Points Pale and a song here Get your TGC x Budgy Smuggler gear. Light Blue or Navy smugglers.

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.
