Ed Cowan is an Australian test cricketer, investor, podcaster and author.He's one of those people whose name I jotted down 6 years ago when I started the show earmarked as a ‘dream guest'.He played in a golden era of Australian cricket and did so at a time when I was obsessed with the sport myself (I had delusions about being a test cricketer) and therefore like the music of your youth those cricketers you grew up with leave a certain impression. I've since been a long time listener of his 'Scaling Up' podcast series and tune in weekly for the ABC Cricket Podcast where he is a co-host.Ed has an occasionally controversial, but always influential voice on the Australian cricketing landscape.It's an absolute pleasure to have recorded this with him.He had 32 test innings for Australia across 18 matches, scored one test hundred and over 1000 runs in total.You'll find a link to both his book and his podcast here. Leave a review on Apple or Spotify (nothing does more to help grow the show)It's an enormous pleasure to have spoken with Ed, we discussed...How Ed always kept a foot in multiple worlds, even though it came at a cost. The transition out of professional sport and why so many athletes struggle with it.His mentor Peter RoebuckMental health in cricket and how the culture has shifted.His Test career: the debut hundred, the weight of expectation, homework-gate, and his illness that coincided with the Ashes and the end of his international career.Ed's views on IPL money, BBL privitisation and governance.The business of cricket: how he'd restructure Cricket Australia, player pay, and bringing patient, evergreen capital into the Big Bash.And, as always, the role serendipity has played in his life, to which, as an opening batsman, he had the perfect answer.Timestamps...00:00 — Realising a cricket career was possible02:17 — Under-19s in Sri Lanka, surrounded by future Test players07:38 — The transition myth: why it's a decade, not twelve months14:08 — Do athletes have too much free time?17:03 — Travel, brooding, and the Matthew Talbot shelter that shifted his perspective27:02 — The Cricinfo depression piece33:31 — NSW's logjam of talent and the fresh start in Tasmania36:30 — Called up to Australia; the left-handed-opener mystery39:36 — Peter Roebuck: discipline, mangoes, and the debut century dedicated to him44:43 — The 18 innings: expectation, emotional regulation, homework-gate50:42 — The Ashes, falling ill, and his final Test54:00 — Resentment, selection, and "perception is reality"55:12 — Death of a Gentleman, the IPL, and cricket's governance crisis1:00:23 — Ambitions in cricket; the ABC podcast as a public service1:08:08 — Privatising the Big Bash and bringing in patient capital1:13:55 — Serendipity, Gideon Haig, and "I was an opening batsman"Some choice snippets from the conversation.On transition out of sport"A lot of sportspeople think transition is your last twelve months of playing and your first twelve months of the real world. That's only a tiny speck of what it actually looks like. You come out of sport and you're at the bottom of the next mountain — you've got the tools to climb it, but that's another journey in and of itself."On identity"One of the thresholds is: do you still think of yourself as a cricketer? It's not part of my identity anymore at all. Some people say, 'You're the guy who used to play cricket.' Yeah, that was me. But that takes a while."On the perspective that pulled him out of a funk (volunteering at the Matthew Talbot shelter)"Here I was brooding over nicking one to second slip the day before. And here are guys who hadn't made any bad choices — they were just out of luck."On the chip on his shoulder"You think I'm not training hard enough? I'll beat you in the beep test. You think I'm not preparing properly? I'll get a hundred on the weekend."On why cricket breeds brooders"The output's objective. There's nothing subjective about getting a twenty-ball duck. And the time lag from error to atonement is long — it can be two days, and you're doing nothing.""The key to good mental health in cricket is celebrating your teammates' success. That's rarer than you'd think."On the fresh start in Tasmania"The joy of a fresh start is you can be whoever you want to be the moment you walk in the door. There's no judgment about what school you went to. You're judged from day one only."On luck (the serendipity close)"Two more centimetres of Morne Morkel's size-fourteen boot behind the line, and I'm out for forty-eight. No one remembers Ed Cowan, Test century.""The harder you work, the luckier you get. Luck can come and find you — but it's up to each individual to make that lucky moment count."On the business of cricket"Our best players probably don't get paid enough, and our worst players get paid too much.""An IPL owner's incentive is not to grow the Big Bash. It's to pillage the Big Bash so the IPL gets stronger."Podcast Starter PacksInvestigative JournalistsOffshore Finance/Kleptocracy & Money LaunderingGeopolitics/Economics/Economic DevelopmentExplorers & AdventurersLeave a review on Apple or Spotify (nothing does more to help grow the show)

One of the greatest figures in WA cricket, Adam Voges, joins Corbin this week to talk about the next chapter in his coaching journey and reflect on their recent dominance. Voges opens up on why he departed the state job but wanted to remain the Scorchers coach, where he thinks Cam Green's future lies in the Aussie test team, which of the WA youngsters will step up and how new coach Beau Casson differs from him.With stints in Major League Cricket at the Seattle Orcas and The Hundred's Trent Rockets coming up, Voges outlines his intent to focus on T20 coaching and his aspirations for the future to prepare for international jobs that may come his way.To get in touch, email Corbin & Ed at abccricketpodcast@abc.net.auABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is joined by Ed Cowan to bring you all the highlights and match analysis to keep you up to speed.

The IPL is done for another year and Josh Hazlewood and Tim David's RCB win back to back titles, but it's teen sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi who is the talk of the cricket world. Corbin & Ed marvel at the 15-year-old who won player of the tournament (and a car he can't even drive yet) and wonder how quickly India can find a spot for him in the national team. Plus, would the explosive game of the 'T20 Don Bradman' come off in test cricket?As well, the ODI series against Pakistan starts with a loss, a Cricket Australia exec is shown the door and in the Big Bash - privatisation has gone quiet, the BBL16 opener in India gets the green light and Andrew Flintoff looks like the next Sydney Thunder coach. There's also listener questions galore including Ed naming his all time ODI World XI which doesn't include Tendulkar.To get in touch, email Corbin & Ed at abccricketpodcast@abc.net.auABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is joined by Ed Cowan to bring you all the highlights and match analysis to keep you up to speed.

Season 20 Episode 13: Cricket Australia are pushing a line about needing more money coming in, but that didn't stop a bunch of money going out, after a technology executive was accused of funnelling contracts to their own company. Meanwhile, the whistleblower who reported the problem was sacked. Things aren't going well at head office.

The man in the middle of the BBL privatisation debate is Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg and he sits down with Corbin for half an hour to pull back the curtain on one of the most talked about cricket decisions in decades.Find out why Greenberg says that trying to convince the States was “like trying to land a very big jumbo jet on a very skinny runway”. The two run through the possibility of a hybrid model, the place for gambling, a potential T20 leagues Grand Slam, what type of investors might be interested and how the Big Bash and test cricket can coexist in a busy schedule over Summer.Big topic, big guest, must listen.To get in touch, email Corbin & Ed at abccricketpodcast@abc.net.auABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is joined by Ed Cowan to bring you all the highlights and match analysis to keep you up to speed. The pair discuss the key players and big issues that are dominating the cricket agenda, the latest in live fixtures with a hit of cricket banter.Catch every episode of ‘The ABC Cricket Podcast,' hosted by Corbin Middlemas on ABC listen or wherever you get your podcasts, and get in touch with them on social media via @abc_sport This podcast was formerly known as ‘The Grandstand Cricket Podcast'

Can you think of a moment that turned your life into ‘before’ and ‘after’? For Reuben Williams, that moment was not his sexual assault, rather, the decision he made in the aftermath to pursue justice.

Cricket Unfiltered host Menners returns with a packed cricket news roundup, diving deep into the collapse of Big Bash privatisation talks, the growing divide between Cricket Australia and the states, and the huge contracts being offered to keep Australia's top players out of full-time franchise cricket. Menners also breaks down the latest IPL storylines, including Cooper Connolly's maiden professional century and Pat Cummins' dominant run with the Sunrisers. Later in the show, Pakistani cricket journalist Noorish Khan joins Menners to unpack a dramatic PSL season, including Marnus Labuschagne's impressive leadership for the Hyderabad Kingsmen, Aaron Hardie's match-winning final, Steve Smith's strong form, and the growing Australian influence on Pakistan's premier T20 competition. (00:55) Big Bash privatisation plans officially put on hold (04:02) Cricket Australia vs Cricket NSW tensions explained (08:10) Why the privatisation debate is far from over (09:03) Pat Cummins and Australia's stars offered massive new deals (13:32) James Hopes appointed Sydney Sixers head coach (14:44) David Warner's court case and Thunder captaincy doubts (16:09) Cooper Connolly's breakthrough IPL century and ladder update (21:18) Noorish Khan joins to break down the PSL and Australia's influence Cricket Unfiltered Merchandise is Here! We've launched our official Cricket Unfiltered merch store thanks to a brilliant partnership with Exactamundo, a longtime supporter of the show.

Season 20, Episode 9: Stand down, defenders of the realm. The brave Queenslanders have come to the aid of New South Wales (did we ever doubt them?) and that means that with 33% of the states now off the idea, Cricket Australia can't take the Big Bash to the sale yard to get a price. Everybody is seemingly pissed off with somebody. Is this a good outcome, bad outcome, head in the sand, resolute belief in the future? Plenty of ways to look at it. Also this week, storylines abound in county cricket, we have Enakshi's IPL wrap, and all of Australia was breathless in following the fortunes of the mighty Hyderabad Houston Chicago Illinois Kingsmen starring Woody Harrelson.

Cricket Australia have pressed pause on their proposed sale of the Big Bash for now so Corbin & Ed get into why all the states weren't on board, what needs to change and what the road ahead looks like.Ed sets the record straight on NSW's concerns, how they would like to see the original report recommendations implemented as well as what other states may have been taking into consideration in their decisions. It's an insight into the 12 month process like no other.There's also an IPL and PSL catch up with 31 Aussies involved, listener questions galore and lots of player payment chat off the back of the Paul Marsh interview last episode.To get in touch, email Corbin & Ed at abccricketpodcast@abc.net.auABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is joined by Ed Cowan to bring you all the highlights and match analysis to keep you up to speed.

Meet Sarah Dyce, Public Affairs and Marketing Manager at the Victorian Institute of Sport.Sarah has a wealth of experience in sports communications, working behind the scenes of the moments that matter most. After graduating with a Bachelor of Marketing and Public Relations from the University of Notre Dame in Perth, Sarah made a bold move to Melbourne in 2018.But here's the part most people don't know. Sarah never set out to work in sport. She arrived in Melbourne in 2018 with a marketing degree, no contacts, and a determination to avoid a nine-to-five in Perth's mining and oil and gas sector. She found a listing on a website better known for arts and theatre jobs, applied for an unpaid internship at Swimming Australia, and quietly outworked everyone around her until the industry had no choice but to take notice.What followed was years of contract roles spanning Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games as part of the Australian Olympic Committee's Main Press Centre team, worked the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, the World University Games in Berlin, the Australian Open, A-League Finals Series, and helped orchastrate one of the most viral moments of the 2025 Australian Open - the now-famous Carlos Alcaraz and young fan John's encounter that captured the world's attention.In this episode, Sarah takes us through the mindset shift that made contract life work for her, the networking habits she built that kept the opportunities coming, and the deliberate decisions she made along the way that led her to the role she has today. If you've ever talked yourself out of applying for a sport role because you didn't feel "sport enough," Sarah's story is the one you need to hear!We cover:(03:07) - Interview starts(09:23) - Quick Fire Questions(16:32) - Why Sarah moved from Western Australia to Melbourne?(20:11) - What her time at Swimming Australia taught Sarah(24:08) - Why Sarah left a full-time role to pick up contract work(28:48) - Sarah's takeaways from contract work(31:54) - How Sarah managed to stack contracts(36:42) - What a day in the AOC Main Press Centre team looks like(43:14) - Differences and similarities of working at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics(51:53) - The viral AO moment Sarah helped make happen(57:27) - How Sarah landed a role at the World University Games in Berlin(01:02:46) - How Sarah's current role at the VIS came about(01:07:20) - How do you measure success across the various roles Sarah has held(01:09:28) - Biggest challenges in sports media and PR(01:11:16) - How you can stand out in a saturated sports media landscape(01:13:22) - How to handle difficult situations as a sports comms professional(01:16:19) - How to build trust and relationships with variou stakeholders in sport(01:19:00) - Impact of mentors on Sarah's journey(01:24:07) - How to land a job in sport media and PR in the next 30 days(01:25:49) - Biggest "Pinch Me" moment working in sport(01:29:39) - What is a takeaway from a family member that influenced your career in sport?(01:31:22) - Sarah's question for next guestIf you liked this ep, give these a go:#281: Journey to Head of Media Rights at Cricket Australia with Abhi Arunachalam#312: How Vimal Kumar Became a Cricket Writer, Built 600k+ on YouTube & Travelled the World#335: How to land a job at the VIS with Director of People & Community, Daniel SimonsWant a job in sport?

Cricket Australia has put the so-called “biggest strategic decision” in generations on ice, so is that it or will discussions continue to drag out indefinitely? Plus, Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has been diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disorder during an already high stress season and NSW and QLD set up a bumper series in game one of the women's State of Origin.Featured: Peter Lalor, Cricket et Al.

Season 20, Episode 8: Note: an earlier version of this podcast confused NRMA motoring association (not a CA sponsor) with NRMA insurance (CA's major Test series sponsor). They're different companies with shared branding. Apologies. Nonetheless, this story is strange, with CA chair Mike Baird planning to double up that job with being CEO of NRMA motoring association. How is that possible? Also this week, women's T20 World Cup news comes apace, while a slew of players are being banned from various levels of cricket for a range of offences.

Boxing Day can mean different things to different people – shopping the sales or eating endless Christmas leftovers. For many, the Boxing Day test is central to the day: family crowded around the TV, arguing over runs, soaking up the game. For Rana Hussain, cricket gave that same sense of belonging. But in fact organised sport wasn’t really set-up for her. Whether it was the non-inclusive uniforms, the lack of knowledge of cultural expectations, or simply the lack of diversity in the food offered at sports clubs, Rana felt locked out of sport. Today, Rana’s changing that. As founder of Good Human, she’s helped sporting organisations like Cricket Australia and various football clubs build spaces that are inclusive, welcoming, and community focused. +++ Sportish is powered by the Australian Sports Commission, and produced by Deadset Studios. We’re spotlighting Australia’s sport participation strategy Play Well. You can find plenty more resources and information at ausport.gov.au/playwell. If you or your sporting club wants to get involved in spreading the Play Well message, check out the Play Well Partner Toolkit. This episode was hosted by Libby Trickett and Georgie Trickett, produced by Luci McAfee with sound design by Melissa May. The Executive Producer is Kellie Riordan and Sarah Dabro. Ann Chesterman is the Production Manager. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this podcast was made. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. We also recognise the outstanding contribution that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples make to sport and celebrate the power of sport to tell stories and promote reconciliation.

Season 19, Episode 36: Geoff and Adam are back together at last, after weeks of travel difficulty, and a huge news week means a two-part weekly show. Later this week will come the two-day meeting between Cricket Australia and the state associations to decide whether they should go ahead with trying to sell off the Big Bash League. Of course most involved have spent months positioning the conversation to make sure that happens. Is anyone against it, and has anyone given proper weight to the likely drawbacks? This week we get into the matter in depth, as well as more of the amateur-hour stuff we've come to expect from New Zealand Cricket, and some strange moves in the Australian women's team.

Dr. Peter Brukner is one of Australia's most decorated sports medicine physicians. He is former head of medical and performance at Liverpool FC, team doctor for Cricket Australia, Cathy Freeman's doctor at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, and now one of the most credible voices in the low-carb and diabetes reversal space.In 2012, at 60 years old and working in Liverpool, Brukner had a fatty liver, high triglycerides, elevated insulin, and a strong family history of type 2 diabetes. He tried a low-carb diet for 90 days. He lost 13 kilograms. Every blood marker normalised. The fatty liver (present for a decade) was gone.What followed was a complete reorientation of his career: founding Sugar by Half, writing the bestselling 'A Fat Lot of Good', developing the Defeat Diabetes program, and becoming one of the most persistent critics of dietary guidelines that he believes are built on fraudulent science.This is a wide-ranging, evidence-dense conversation covering the politics of how fat got demonised, why the medical system structurally cannot update itself, the real mechanism behind type 2 diabetes, the legitimate and illegitimate uses of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, athlete nutrition, injury recovery, and where AI is headed in medicine.Watch all of our interviews at https://discernable.io/interviews
