In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy and Stu look back at the fourth Ashes Test between Australia and England, which saw the visitors secure their first victory on Australian soil in almost 15 years. We start the show by talking about our experiences of yet another two-day Test. For Binksy, as an English fan, was this a hollow victory since the series has already been lost? Or a joyous, historic moment since wins have been so hard to come by in Australia? We also discuss whether the narrative needs to change as Test cricket evolves - do two-day Tests have to be a disappointment? If we're given maximum entertainment, is that not enough to satisfy our hunger for the game? As the episode continues, the conversation inevitable turns to the pitch, plus the implications for Cricket Australia of such a short game. Are batters simply not good enough any more? Or did the groundstaff get this one horribly wrong? From there, we move to highlighting individual players, starting with Josh Tongue. What made him so successful on this surface? And did England miscalculate what was needed from a bowling point of view in this series? We also discuss whether Jacob Bethell's bright and breezy second-innings knock could spell the end for Ollie Pope. We also touch on Australia's batting, which, despite the 3-1 scoreline, still appears to have plenty of questions to answer. To round out the show, we look ahead to the options facing both sides for the final Test in Sydney, and what's riding on the match. Gus Atkinson's hamstring means at least one change for England, and will Todd Murphy get another opportunity for Australia? We'll be back in your feed again soon with more from the cricketing world.

In this episode of Insider Calls, host Marc "Moose" Malusis is joined by NFL analyst Brian Baldinger to break down a chaotic Week 16 and look ahead to the 2025 postseason. They dive deep into the San Francisco 49ers' dominant performance on Monday Night Football, discussing how Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan have kept the team dangerous despite a litany of injuries. The conversation shifts to the drama in the NFC West, comparing the Rams and Seahawks, before tackling the "home run" potential of John Harbaugh potentially landing with the New York Giants. Baldy also gives his take on Aaron Glenn's first year with the Jets, the "Chiefs fatigue" in the AFC, and the incredible return of 44-year-old Philip Rivers.

In a calamitous episode all around Jamie, Baldy, and Raj wrap up the Ashes far too early in the Southern Hemisphere summer. While England were (more) competitive in the final two days in Adelaide the native South Australians in Travis Head and Alex Carey won the day meaning Australia retained the urn in 11 days. Baldy - ruthless as ever - still wasn't totally satisfied and struggles to come to terms with what to do with Cameron Green, and who replaces the irreplaceable* Nathan Lyon. For England, the questions go much deeper. Given that they looked much more competitive without an all-out attack mindset, what does Jamie think about their style of play? Raj guides Jamie through some delicate waters in assessing where England go from here. Finally, Raj gives us the Cliff Notes version of what caught his eye in the immediate aftermath of the New Zealand x West Indies Test in Mount Maunganui in advance of a deeper dive into that series next week. Merry Christmas to all our listeners and viewers from all of us here at the Top Order. * Feels like a strange statement after leaving him out of the Brisbane Test but I'm fine with it - Baldy...

Brian Baldinger joins BT to talk Giants and Jets and the potential number one draft pick of 2026

In this episode of the show, Baldy, Jamie and Stu chat with Australian international Pete Handscomb about The Ashes and the ups and downs of his cricket career so far. We start the show by diving into Pete's experience watching the Ashes as someone playing first-class cricket and with a lot of connections on both sides. Has anything come as a surprise so far? How tough is the challenge as a batter of moving from English pitches to Australian pitches? And should we expect anything different from in Adelaide or Melbourne? As the conversation continues, we move to Pete's own Ashes experience and the extra levels of scrutiny that come from playing on the biggest of stages. There's plenty in here about mindset and approach, and how tough times led to a rethink that has paid huge dividends in recent seasons. Along with sharing the tough times, Pete also recalls the moment he first received his Baggy Green from long-time friend and current Cricket Victoria coach Chris Rogers, and the moment he scored his first Test hundred against Pakistan. With the fires still burning for an international recall, Pete talks about how the game has changed since his debut, looks back at the challenge of facing India in India on difficult batting surfaces and shares what he's learned about the leadership style that works best for him, plus a few young players to watch out for on the Australian domestic circuit, such as Campbell Kellaway and Oliver Peake. To round out the show, we run through our quickfire round that hits on a number of topics, such as Pete's favourite innings, the toughest bowler he's faced and the most talented cricketer he's ever encountered. All in all, it was a conversation we really enjoyed and we hope you will too. We'll be back in your feed after the Test matches between England & Australia and New Zealand & the West Indies.

Brian Baldinger has his say on the New York Giants and Jets going into week 15!

Brian Baldinger joins to discuss all the biggest matchups and storylines in the NFL, expressing surprise that 44-year-old Phillip Rivers would take the Colts' QB job but noting how thin the league is at the position. He weighs in on the top of the AFC, including the Patriots and Broncos, and shares his impression of Broncos QB Bo Nix. Baldy also analyzes the struggles of the Eagles this season, the passionate Philadelphia fanbase, and questions surrounding AJ Brown, before breaking down the playoff race across the loaded NFC West and NFC North.

In this episode of the show, Baldy, Stu and Raj look back at the first Test between New Zealand and the West Indies, and give a brief shout out to Virat Kohli and a live reaction to the goings on in the second Ashes Test. With England and Australia still on the field at our regular Sunday recording time (check back in a day or two for our wrap of that match), we dedicated the majority of this episode to unpacking the West Indies' impressive rearguard action against the Black Caps at Hagley Oval. We start with a round-up of emotions after what proved to be a draining final couple of days in the first Test of the New Zealand summer. The Black Caps looked set for victory with the West Indies at 72-4 chasing 500+, but injuries to Matt Henry, Nathan Smith & Tom Blundell and an outstanding fighting effort from Shai Hope, Justin Greaves & Kemar Roach took the game into the final overs and secured a draw for the visitors. As we bounce around a number of talking points, there's also praise for Jacob Duffy, Tom Latham & Rachin Ravindra, we discuss the pitch and umpiring decisions, and debate whether the Black Caps still had enough chances to win or whether the West Indies should have put the accelerator down in the final session in an attempt to chase down the target. In amongst all of that, we speculate on the New Zealand lineup for the second Test and the prospect of potential Test debuts for Mitch Hay and Michael Rae or an SOS call-up to Kyle Jamieson. To round out the show, we there's a shout-out to Virat Kohli for his stacks of runs in the ODI series against South Africa, plus Baldy's live reaction to the news that Australia were on the verge of victory against England under lights in Brisbane. We'll be back in your feed in a day or two to review that second Ashes Test, then again next week with more from here in New Zealand and around the world.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy and Stu look back at South Africa's 2-0 sweep of India, and look ahead to the upcoming series between the Black Caps and the West Indies, as well as the second Ashes Test. We start the show by discussing South Africa's dominant victory against India in the second and final Test of that series, which saw lower-order runs from Senuran Muthusamy and Marco Jansen backed up by impressive performances from Jansen and Simon Harmer with the ball. There's plenty of praise for the visitors, but why were they able to be so successful? Are they better than we thought? Was Shubman Gill's injury that impactful? And how much pressure does another home sweep pile on Gautam Gambhir? Next we head back to New Zealand, where we look forward to the Test series against the West Indies, which starts at Hagley Oval on Tuesday. It's a matchup that favours the Black Caps on paper, but how much have injuries impacted the strength of this Kiwi side? We talk through possible lineups, what's at stake for the likes of Devon Conway and Tom Latham with a big 12-18 months ahead, and the role Mitchell Santner could fill at number 7 in the batting order. To round out the show, we chat about the Ashes, with team selection in focus. Mark Wood is out for England, Pat Cummins isn't yet back for Australia and the Travis Head or Usman Khawaja to open the batting question still remains. Plus: could Nathan Lyon miss out, and should we even have pink-ball Tests at all in the Ashes? We'll be back in your feed next week to review the Tests and anything else that catches our eyes from around the world.

Spadoni and Sam talk with Baldy and get his thoughts on the 49ers win against the Panthers.

BT & Sal tag-team NFL Insider Brian Baldinger on the disastrous state of New York football. The discussion is immediately fiery as Sal questions the Giants' 2-10 record, demanding Baldy shut down the fan notion that their talent is better than their dismal standing. Baldy agrees, highlighting the defense's collapse, but gives Interim Head Coach Kafka a passing grade for his deceptive play-calling. The conversation shifts to the Jets' quarterback crisis, where Baldy throws a bone to the fanbase, confidently stating that Cam Ward "can play," directly impacting the Giants' draft strategy. They analyze the league's overall parity, with Baldy arguing the playoffs will be diluted by teams barely over .500, a direct result of QB mega-contracts forcing good teams like the Lions to be "thin." Finally, they debate the legitimacy of the Caleb Williams-led Bears ahead of their measuring-stick game against the Eagles.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy, Jamie and Stu look back at the first Test between Australia and England, which was action-packed but was finished within two days. There was plenty of drama in the lead-up to The Ashes, but that was nothing compared with the rollercoaster we saw on the field. Mitchell Starc started with a bang, England's pace battery hit back and it seemed like things were about to settle down by lunch on the second day with England one wicket down and leading by 99. But instead the action resumed, with the visitors crumbling and Travis Head's hundred powering Australia to victory within two sessions. We react to the emotion of the two days, then discuss the lineups and the pitch before highlighting key performers like Starc, Head, Ollie Pope, Jofra Archer and Marnus Labuschagne. We ask where it all went wrong for England, debate whether Travis Head's success could bring an unexpected end to Usman Khawaja's Test career, talk through potential changes for the second Test and plenty more as we try to process a game which moved through the gears at a rapid pace.

NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joins BT & Sal for a fiery Week 12 breakdown, immediately ripping Giants rookie Cam Skattebo for his bizarre WWE appearance while nursing a fractured ankle, calling the optics "bizarre" and "unprofessional." The conversation shifts to the Giants' deeper issues, with Baldy agreeing that the team has "no internal veteran leadership" to guide young players like Abdul Carter, whose repeated tardiness to meetings was "unacceptable" and made Coach Daboll look worse. Baldy breaks down the tape, exonerating Jameis Winston on the game-ending interception and slams Jalen Hyatt's execution. He offers a shocking take on the Giants' much-maligned offensive line, calling them "middle of the pack" and "playoff worthy." On the AFC, Baldy weighs in on the contenders, calling the Baltimore Ravens a "problem" and the Buffalo Bills "a mess" defensively. Finally, he supports the Jets' move to Tyrod Taylor to gather crucial information on their young, unproven receivers like Adonai Mitchell and Mason Taylor.

BT & Sal ignite the debate over Pete Alonso's future with the Mets, reacting fiercely to an industry rumor suggesting the team's max offer might be a "disrespectful" two-plus-one-year deal. They question whether owner Steve Cohen will intercede to secure the fan-favorite slugger and explore a major report that the Mets are ready to "blow up" the roster, making established players like Nimmo and McNeil available for trade. NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joins the show to unleash on the Giants' dysfunction. Baldy calls out injured running back Cam Skattebo's bizarre appearance and physical involvement at Monday Night Raw and slams rookie Abdul Carter's repeated unexcused absences, highlighting the team's critical lack of veteran leadership.

The conversation shifts to the coaching search, with Sal arguing the Giants job is highly attractive due to Dart, while the hosts slam the "stupid argument" that Belichick's success should be disregarded due to Tom Brady. Finally, in Three Random Questions, the hosts dive into a tricky personal question: If you could take a "Soulmate Test" that reveals your true match, would you do it? The hypothetical leads to humorous and fiery takes on marriage, temptation, and the nature of fate.
