261. In and Around The Boys
The Australian Men selfishly retain their spots for The Gabba, thus denying us the trappings we seek. But have you seen the ODI Squad? Fraser-McGurk is not only in - but around - the boys, as is Xavier Bartlett. May not play, but at the very least it’s a kit, rhythms, contours thing. Bareback will get a roll in gold, so we’ll be strong on eye hygiene. Elsewhere, the BBL reaches its denouement. Usual suspects have come and gone at the famous Gold Coast cauldron, where fringe players fail interspersed with shots of the Suns’ Matt Rowell. Lloyd Pope humiliated blokes with wrong’uns, which was good. In fact, the BBL has been good. The BBL is growing. We may be minority-voiced commentariat cucks, but can the teams not get worse as the season goes on? Maybe…not? This week India and England commence a 5 Test series. It is a battle of extremity and delectable for the neutral. How does Bazball fare against expert spin on raggers? England could become the greatest ever team to play the code, or the greatest embarrassment known to man. There’s no in-between. Will be fun. AskTGC concerns a second trimester pregnancy, buckets on bonces, and whether or not to let the darkness in.

260. My Mouth Is Very Dry
Would you “push the red button” for Class A cricket? Each to their own, which is essentially what Western Australia said following Matthew Renshaw’s conspiracy selection last week. Kim Hughes felt particularly sick, poor bloke. Steve Smith’s going to open – it’s trappings where trappings are needed. But can this team go bulk? The Australian family populace can – they’re turning out in such numbers at the Bucket on Bonce League, where the top 4 is locked and Warner rode a helicopter. We assess Shaun Marsh’s career. TLDR; my kingdom to render others’ pigeons. Finch and SOK get their flowers. There’s a genre-leading catch in the Super Smash, NZ dusts Pakistan, India does so Afghanistan, Virat does Novak. We look again at India v England, before #AskTGC ponders “prospective” women, unrequited interest, and Brian Lara.

259. It's Obvious, with Beau Webster
Australia sweep Pakistan 3-0 in the Tests, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the baggy greens thanks to Pakistan’s plucky courage, exciting finds and Qantas’ baggage handlers. Who replaces 26 Test tons at the top of the innings for the Aussies? Are you ready for the outrage when the thing that you want to happen doesn’t happen? #ThankGodItsAllOver says one great, but hasn’t it only just begun? Green, Bancroft, Harris, Renshaw, Smith, Schappell Corby? We investigate all possibilities and then annoy you deliberately because we are owned by the government and they tell us what to say. Join The Navy. Speaking of conspiracy theories, South Africa lose to India in the shortest Test match of all time. Rohit says people need to shut their mouths when coming to India and Sunny fires up the populous by stoking some colonial flames ahead of the England Test series. No one’s happy. Everyone’s annoyed. Nothing is good. 20 year old Phoebe Litchfield has had a storming series in India as Australia claim the ODI series 3-0 and Ellyse Perry gets a message from the greats to celebrate her 300th. That’s before we get into more pitch chat in the BBL as we head into the business end of school holidays. So chuck a bucket on your head, mentally prepare yourself for your first week back at work and start remembering what day it is because 2024 looks like more of the same.
