Australia's T20 and ODI series against South Africa wrapped up in Mackay on Sunday, but the lingering question remains: does anyone really care?Corbin and Ed do their best to park the cynicism as they unpack a white-ball contest with little at stake - beyond putting the Top End on the cricketing map, which we are behind! We also find time to debate Cam Green's best spot in the Test order, Marnus' continuing drought, and why selectors are stuck between quick fixes and long-term planning.
In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy, Raj and Stu discuss a range of topics from the cricketing news cycle, including: white-ball series between Australia and South Africa, NZ A tour to South Africa, England also scheduled to play the Proteas and the recent comments from Todd Greenberg about the future of Test cricket. We start the show by talking about Australia's mixed performances against South Africa and what both sides can take from a series missing a few star players. There's praise for Tim David and Dewalt Brevis, question marks over the Aussie bowling bench, while Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh and Cameron Green all score hundred on the night of recording. The conversation moves on to the NZ A tour to South Africa, which features a number of players who have already made their debut for the Black Caps. We're excited to see how young players like Muhammad Abbas, Rhys Mariu & Bevon Jacobs perform, as well as the chance it provides Zak Foulkes, Mitch Hay, Ben Lister and many others to continue pushing for more opportunities at the top level. Next it is off to England to discuss Jacob Bethell's selection as T20 captain against Ireland, before a brief introduction to Sonny Baker. Then we round out the show with our reaction to comments by Cricket Australia Chief Todd Greenberg about the future of Test cricket and the ICC working group that could shape what unfolds.
