Menners is back from his US tour and digs straight into the chaos engulfing England's cricket team after Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson broke a team curfew following the first Test win over New Zealand, costing them their spots for the second Test (with Joe Root stepping in as captain) and putting Stokes's leadership under serious pressure. From there it's a tour of Australian cricket news: Cooper Connolly's breakout ODI century against Bangladesh, debut performances from Joel Davies and Nikhil Chowdhury, a strong start for the Australian women's team at the T20 World Cup, and a deep dive into the messy, stalled privatisation of the Big Bash League, including Cricket Victoria's botched (and reversed) axing of the Stars and Renegades. He wraps up with two "can't let it go" moments: RCB's IPL title and Kane Williamson's retirement from international cricket.

This week on Menners Masterclass, we revisit one of my all-time favourite interviews — a classic conversation with Shane Watson, originally recorded in 2022. Watson reflects on a remarkable career that spanned multiple eras of cricket, from the dominance of Australia's golden generation through to the rise of T20 leagues and the IPL. He opens up on the challenges that shaped him — injuries, pressure, and the mental battles that impacted his consistency — while also sharing the lessons that allowed him to thrive later in his career. A major theme throughout is mindset. Watson candidly explains how not understanding mental skills early on held him back, and how learning to manage mental energy and “get out of his own way” unlocked his best performances toward the end of his career. Along the way, he shares stories from Ashes campaigns, World Cup wins, and the intensity of franchise cricket, as well as advice for the next generation navigating modern pressures like social media. A thoughtful, honest, and insightful conversation — and a standout episode from the archive.
