Season 17, Episode 2: It's time for Mr Sheffield to rise again, which means the annual jostling for national position begins in earnest. Some players are rested, some are tested, some are bested, while Michael Neser is inevitably fastest to impress-ted. England get their Test tour of Pakistan going without Ben Stokes, Shan Masood tons up, the Women's T20 World Cup is up and running, Sanath Jayasuirya needs a new phone for his new job, Tim Southee goes south, and Ireland knock off South Africa in a one-dayer. Plus, County Championship Trade Radio, (not) featuring Kane Cornes. And later, Andrew Probyn from the Nine Network joins us to talk about the day Bob Hawke top-edged a ball into his eye some 40 years ago this week.

The Rush Hour Melbourne Catch Up - 105.1 Triple M Melbourne - James Brayshaw and Billy Brownless
Fresh off a lunch at his old college, Billy kicks us off with the All Sports Report - as more AFL trades get done, and the Sheffield Shield season opens with some big performances. Ian Thorpe phones in to talk about his time on The Amazing Race with Billy, then Topics Brayshaw wants to know what's a rip off. The AFL Draft is just over a month away so the boys chat to Top 10 prospect Finn O'Sullivan, before Channel 7's Theo Doropoulos comes in to talk about the trade period, his wedding, and dropping a catch for Australia. The boys take another look at today's cricket results, and recap Billy's performance on The Amazing Race last night, where he and Oscar survived elimination on a technicality. Finally, Billy has a joke about the internet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
