    A "proper" Sheffield Shield final sees SACA triumph and the Vics buckle

    30/03/2026 | 48 mins.
    "It was a classic", according to Corbin & Ed and it's hard to argue with that advertisement for long form Australian cricket with South Australia back to back Sheffield Shield champions for the first time in 124 seasons.
    The boys shower praise on the modern day legend that is Alex Carey and the whole SACA team, winning a game where they were behind for almost all of it. There's also debate whether higher honours are around the corner for Liam Scott and Nathan McAndrew, how the sub rule was implemented, the Junction Oval pitch and Victoria's capitulation.
    The IPL has produced runs galore to start, Pat Cummins went on a business podcast with some interesting quotes and there's listener questions to answer.

    Shield final confirmed but the season batting numbers are grim reading

    16/03/2026 | 40 mins.
    We know it will be Victoria vs South Australia in the Sheffield Shield final but the real question is, why have the runs been so hard to come by this season? Corbin and Ed dive into the top run scorers including thoughts on Konstas, Bancroft, Renshaw, Handscomb and the rest.
    There's also the NSW One Day Cup win and how it reflects on Greg Shipperd's sacking, The Hundred auctions and if that foreshadows what the Big Bash could morph into and some quirky cricket stories including a father son batting partnership for the ages.
    And if you have a question, we have a brand new way for you to get in touch. Email Corbin & Ed at [email protected] with your questions, comments or stories.

    Reckoning with the depth of India's T20 dominance

    09/03/2026 | 35 mins.
    India thumped NZ to make T20 World Cup history and Corbin and Ed can't see anyone competing with them in the near future. 
    The boys break down their dominance and the strength of a system geared towards the shortest format of the game. The pair also cover New Zealand's struggles, how the World Cup might look in the future and what Australia's showing might mean for LA 2028 Olympic qualification, given the Kiwis performance.
    Elsewhere, Brendon McCullum has secured the ominous "full support of the board", the One Day Cup final hits Bellerive, Alyssa Healy goes out a winner and the final round of the Shield is a race between SA and QLD to meet Victoria in the final.
