278. नये खिलौने (New Toys), with Peter Lalor and Gideon Haigh

In the absence of someone stripping down, donning Doc Martens and "bashing the door down", Australia selects a new toy in Nathan McSweeney. Can this sea turtle make it to water? The openers lobby is aghast, but what's the alternative? Elsewhere, 2s-3s didn't just lose to Pakistan, they were chested on their own turf. The format, therefore, is clearly dead. Cricket et al's Pete Lalor and Gideon Haigh join us for an in-depth chat on the state of media and the state of cricket, before we return with Lizelle Lee heroics and WBBL foot stuff. AskTGC is the typical maelstrom of witty sickos.

Sign up to Cricket et al to read Gideon, Pete and Pez for the best BGT print coverage you'll get this summer.
