National and global cricketing icon, Ellyse Perry joins us for a special interview direct from TGC HQ, aka Higgos’ apartment. Arguably Australia’s greatest ever Womens cricketer, Pez generously fields questions on important matters: like her what’s app messages, her defensive positioning for the Matildas, horses, and whether or not she agreed to this interview for image and brand purposes only. Of course, in-between, she speaks with customary eloquence about her career, the growth of womens cricket, and the faux pas’ that blokes can make. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mankads, mankads, mankads. How do they make us feel? Is that relevant? Should you just stay behind the line or is that too simplified an argument? Is this the new normal? Who owns cricket? Is any of this funny? We discuss it all after the Charlie Dean and Deepti Sharma 'incident' at Lord's. In better news, TGC is back on stage in Melbourne on November 2 and we want you to come along. In even better news still, Cam Green is 2m and Australia's most exciting T20 talent.... that's not in the World Cup Squad. Pakistan and England are embroiled in a 7 match T20 series and it's actually good and interesting! #AskTGC promotes a Triple C for bowlers and we've also been sent in some alarming alphadom stories of Bradman in the showers, talking to New Zealanders.

September is here and that means that your dreams are about to die.... again. The Road Safety World Series is here and we're cooing about Sachin sitting in 1A while Watto's stable base makes us feel like Australia should win this meaningless tournament. Tim David will debut for Australia this week after he gives us some serious ASMR in the nets. Ben Horne is on the show to discuss another rival Indian league popping up to take away international cricket's best players. England are in Pakistan for the first time in 17 years, but what's Alex Hales like as a bloke? Rachel Haynes retires from international cricket after winning it all and then feeling nothing. #AskTGC ponders whether you can be good at something you've never done and a disturbing dream about Pezza in the urinals.

Old-school this week as we pour over some real grade cricket gear both on-field and online, Australia wins some ODIs as Finch offers some, but not all, blood, England's turnaround continues as Stuart Broad gets access to "the conversation" with Pidge, Sri Lanka wins the Asia Cup but that pales in comparison to Kohli minnow runs, #AskTGC is about champing, parenthood and George Orwell.

Let's be honest, literally no one cares about Australia's series win against Zimbabwe in Townsville. We're all here to get around the Zimbabweans for their historic achievements. We get 5/10 hero Ryan Burl on a zoom in between net sessions to talk about the circuit, the casino, the showers, the kit and what the Aussies are like as blokes. Chris Lynn also talks to us while waiting fir his UberEats to arrive about the future of cricket and how many different training shirts he must have. Across the equator, Jonny Bairstow has broken his leg ahead of the 3rd and deciding Test against South Africa at The Oval. India and Pakistan are embroiled in the Asian Cup - a tournament that exists solely so these two teams can play each other as many times as possible. And we're here for it. #AskTGC asks what we are to do with an Overseas player that leaves the ground to chop his girlfriend.   Huge news: TGC now has kit!
