Club cricket makes its return in parts of Australia, albeit with a 25 page document outlining the new ways you can ruin your pandemic summer.

We’ll discuss the tragic news of Dean Jones’ passing and have his former Victorian and Australian teammate Damien Fleming on the line to give us some stories about Deano and what he meant to us all as fans.

Alyssa Healy is better than MS Dhoni, Alistair Cook is hitting hundreds for Essex, some other stuff is happening in the IPL and we’ll try and find a window for this Afghanistan Test before the end of Trump’s second term.

Ashton Agar is on the show to talk about his superior genetics, his 98 on debut, The Alchemist and wanting to do it all.

#AskTGC involves a birthday message, a body builder, a motorbike and a shadow bat.
