England is alchemy. Australia is cobbled. But the hue of the Gabba and sponsored gold trimmings trumps all. India now needs maths and Satan. Pakistan is wild and good. New Zealand demands respect but it will never be given (publicly).   We run through the WBBL. Couple of guys did some things in the Shield, too. Maybe they’ll make the soon-to-be-announced Australia 2’s team to take on the Lions (England 2’s).   We chat with Will Macpherson and Tim Bresnan, in their own separate ways, about England being good.   The Visceral Minute receives strong contributions. Get yours in at speakpipe.com/tgc – any form of redeeming humour is appreciated.   We nod to Ashley Mallett, Alan Davidson and Peter Philpott.   We fumble around the Quentin De Kock farrago. Bit going on. Worth reflecting upon.   The IPL Mega Auction happens soon. Bit of coin around. Will CA eventually take private equity? Whispers, tea leaves, between-the-lines stuff happening here.   AskTGC meditates on what *really* makes a good day playing cricket. The answer is a dog sleeping at gully.   ***   Budgy Smuggler’s MySmugglingRemake Competition is on in earnest. Details here:   What's in the ultimate Smuggling party package? Great question!

Cops turning up to stop a net? Ok. BBL nightmare rule changes. Australian women are the best in the world.. for now. Ali Martin from The Guardian to discuss the announcement of England's Ashes squad. Do runs in The Sheffield Shield count anymore? The IPL gets to the pointy end. The World Cup is around the corner. Graeme Swann is sensational and gives us many, many Ashes stories + what it was like playing in the Pakistan spot-fixed game at Lord's in 2010. #AskTGC questions how much cricket knowledge a romantic partner should have, ideally.   If you want to be a part of TGC's Visceral Minute, hit the link below: https://www.speakpipe.com/TGC   Check out our Patreon for exclusive content every single week at https://www.patreon.com/gradecricketer   This episode is brought to you by Budgy Smuggler.
