We welcome the Bangladeshi Century by reflecting on how fine everything actually is in Australia, Joe Root scores more “any danger?” runs as India are denied by our great sport, the allure of this years Ashes erodes against the backdrop of harsh Federal Government policy, struggling players, injured players, and also maybe bushfires, The Hundred is in the Blobby phase, Firdose Moonda joins to bring us up to speed with Cricket South Africa’s social justice and nation-building hearings into racial discrimination, Andre Adams also joins to talk NZ in the 2000s, the ICL, and how to be a good coach and normal person, and #AskTGC raises suspicious questions about highly co-ordinated blokes playing cricket at BBQs.   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.

There’s some tedious media gear about the Ashes - it will get sorted out at Lee’s Fortuna Court.

The Hundred starts this week and the ECB have bet the house on it. Is it a moral and financial catastrophe or does Jos Buttler hit a big ball? Thankfully, The Guardian’s Ali Martin joins to give the discussion some credibility. Meanwhile, everyone’s playing white ball stuff with their two’s and three’s: England and India will win the club championship with that kind of depth, while Australia are nowhere. Will still bump and therefore beat England though, so there’s that. Nathan Hauritz joins to talk about rep lids at grade level, replacing Shane Warne, and scenes from the cubicle after Cardiff. #AskTGC is a long-form epic detailing what many are calling “The perfect afternoon in New Zealand”, only this one is ruined by a Gray-Nicolls jockstrap and box.   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.

Australia succumb to the West Indies, further confirming that we mainly lose now; we catch up with Andrew McDonald in the West Indies and ask if they can start winning, please; Meanwhile England's 2s and 3s dust Pakistan; India is set to dust Sri Lanka; but will any dusting be possible with COVID ripping through the UK? Can you put COVID in grade terms? Anyway, there's cricket everywhere else in the world, and AskTGC rounds us out with a meditation on, yes, Dad issues.EXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/gradecricketerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
