195. They're Still Booing Root, with Todd Murphy and Ali Martin

Is England back or was this 2s v 3s? Root's the best, Broad's vibrations, "team hat-tricks" are for children. Ali Martin lends much needed credibility to all of this. Australia plays Sri Lanka in the big one, same goes India and South Africa. 21 year old Todd Murphy was playing at Kahlin Oval in Darwin a fortnight ago, now he's in Sri Lanka with Australia - he joins us to detail his approach to bullying and aesthetics. The ICCs head honcho says Test cricket doesn't make heaps so, you know, be grateful for what you've got. #AskTGC is about whether one can unbeta oneself.
