The Howie Games

Test cricket heats up, and Howie finds himself going global!
From a catch-up with Matt Renshaw after a historic knock, and an emotional look at what Nic Maddinson has been through, to an early-morning breakfast and a proper deep dive into the art of slip fielding with Nathan Lyon, there’s plenty to get stuck into. We break down the craft, hear different voices from around the game, and give you a front-row seat to life inside the tour.
Then, Howie becomes “Australian Man” on global television, and the story takes off FAST. How did it happen, what was the reaction back home, and why is everyone on the ground calling him Australian Man?
Plus, Josh Hazlewood produces a career-best six-wicket haul, and Howie catches up with the Bendemeer boy himself.
Three Tests. Three cities. Three weeks. The cricket, the characters and the unexpected moments keep coming. Come along for the ride!

We head inside the world of SuperSport as Howie prepares for his first overseas stint in the commentary box, and the South African Test Tour is well and truly underway!
There’s a catch-up with world-renowned commentator Mark Nicholas, a pre-game chat with Alex Carey, a special appearance from the legendary Shaun Pollock and a first taste of a South African classic… Bunny Chow!
But that’s just the beginning.
The legendary Colonel, a stolen car and a run with the punters in Durban... because on tour, you never quite know what’s around the corner.
Three Tests. Three cities. Three weeks. The cricket is on, the characters are out, and the adventures are only just getting started.
Come along for the ride.

Three Tests. Three cities. Three weeks. And you’re coming along for the ride. We're off to commentate Test Cricket on international soil for the very first time.
And it's not only Test Cricket abroad, it's Australia's first time back in South Africa since the infamous Sandpapergate. So, the Howie Games is heading to South Africa for an unscripted, behind-the-scenes tour diary covering the cricket, the commentary, the travel, the characters, the stars and, hopefully a few random adventures along the way.
Before we get into the now, Howie takes a trip back through Australia’s incredible Test history in South Africa from Victor Trumper to Allan Border, Adam Gilchrist, Phil Hughes and an 18-year-old Pat Cummins winning a Test on debut. Plus, all the controversy and fallout of our last appearance.
There’s great cricket, great characters, some unforgettable moments and a fascinating history between these two proud cricketing nations.
It's time… to hit the airport. And there are delays! And a missed flight.
Melbourne to Perth, Perth to Johannesburg, Johannesburg to Durban, and the South Africa Test Tour Diaries officially begin. We check in, and then it's off to training.
Come along. This one’s going to be a beauty.

The Millionaires Club finale. And what a way to finish. One of our - and your - absolute Howie Games favourites.
Ten years after our first chat, Cathy is all in on a conversation that has everything. Nostalgia, laughs, competition, life, Australia and some seriously emotional moments.
Cathy takes us back to the Stawell Gift, 30 years on, and what it feels like to stand on the start line knowing you want to win. Then comes more memories of Sydney 2000… and an incredible description of what it felt like to be lifted by the Australian crowd on one of the biggest nights in our history.
We talk about that feeling of unity, what it still means to Cathy today, and the incredible potential of Brisbane 2032.
And, after 10 years of The Howie Games, this is a very special way to finish our Millionaires Club Anniversary Series.
Cathy Freeman. One of Australia's greatest. One of our favourites. One hell of a conversation.
