A special, one-hour interview with Michael Holding about his new book, “Why We Kneel, How We Rise”.   It was pretty special to have the opportunity to speak with Mikey (and we will call him that), so much so that we’ve decided to give this week’s cast over to the interview.   We hope you find the chat as meaningful as we did.   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.

Two seasons ago, Peter Hatzoglou was playing for his club's third XI. Now he’s mixing it with the world's best T20 players, attracting comments from Shane Warne cooing over his IPL prospects.   Now that he’s sometimes on TV, does that mean nothing matters anymore? Will he shelve all other plans? Will cricket last forever? Let’s find out.   Our interview with Peter is the final instalment in our Life Outside Cricket series. Huge thanks to our interviewees, to the ACA for their partnership, and thanks to those who've tuned in.EXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/gradecricketerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today’s guest tops the lot when it comes to the jaw-dropping balance she manages to strike between playing professional cricket and maintaining a professional career.   Georgia Redmayne has been on the state scene for 7 years now. She's played for NSW, Tasmania, Queensland, as well as the Hurricanes, the Scorchers and the Heat – not to mention appearances for Australia A.   In Women’s List A cricket she averages 53 with the bat, with 6 tonnes and 8 fifties to her name. In T20s she averages 24 with 8 fifties. Not content with that, she balances it with keeping too, with 76 catches and 44 stumpings across both formats.   In 2017-18 she was awarded Cricket Australia's Betty Wilson Young Cricketer of the Year, and you’ll struggle to believe how she’s achieved all of this while doing the job that she does.   This interview is part of our special series, Life Outside Cricket, where we catch up with Australian cricketers and try to get under the hood of their life and careers beyond cricket. Who knew they had lives outside the game, often possessing knowledge and interest in matters beyond wickets and runs?   We’re doing this in conjunction with the Australian Cricketers Association in promotion of Careers Week, promoting the economic, social and personal benefits of career development for all Australians.EXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/gradecricketerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
