In this week’s episode, Menners is joined by CricBlog’s Charbel Coorey to unpack all the major cricket stories dominating the headlines. The pair dive into Steve Smith’s sublime Shield century, Brendan Doggett’s match-winning return, and the selectors’ looming dilemma: Cameron Green vs Beau Webster.

They also discuss the tragic death of young Victorian cricketer Ben Austin, the growing threat of franchise T20 leagues, India’s influence over the ICC, and Cricket Australia’s financial challenges. Plus, the Women’s World Cup semi-final fallout, Big Bash privatization, and the return of the fan-favourite segment “Can’t Let It Go,” featuring fiery takes on English pundits and a surprising Joe Hart–Ange Postecoglou connection.
