Adam Peacock and Brad Haddin join you to discuss Australia's winning start to the Women's T20 World Cup and Alyssa's Healy's cheeky sledge that brought a wicket, Cameron Green's injury setback and the Shield contenders who could take his place and Sam Konstas's stunning maiden Sheffield Shield century. Then Ales Carey chats with Adam about all things wicketkeeping. Finally, Adam and Brad are back for Sundries and a quick trip home for an England bowler so he can attend a special day.  Send your cricket club cap to Producer Sam at the following address: Sam Ferris50 Goulburn St, Sydney, NSW, 2000 Follow on Apple, Spotify and the LiSTNR app Watch on YouTube Drop us a message on Instagram and TikTok! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
