Hi there! Welcome to Episode 320 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. Cheteshwar Pujara has called time on his international career, closing the chapter on one of Indian cricket's most resolute and defining journeys. In this episode, Srijan joins us as we trace his path from being tagged the “next Dravid” to becoming the backbone of India's Test side, reliving iconic knocks — from his Adelaide century and Sydney marathon to the bruising Gabba vigil. We discuss his technique, temperament, and the role he played in shaping India's overseas triumphs, while also reflecting on the criticisms, challenges, and eventual decline. As India looks to the future, we ask: what is Pujara's true legacy, and how will the game remember the man who made patience a weapon?Thank you so much for tuning in to today's episode and for your incredible support.

Spring has arrived, and so has our ever-growing mailbag.We're diving headfirst into your best questions as the summer of cricket draws near. Keep them coming, we can't get enough from our fellow cricket nerds.

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. We'll most likely be back in your feed again next week to discuss more stories from the world of cricket.

The most unwanted record in test cricket history remains New Zealand's, thanks to a fielding fumble by a young Australian. For the past 70 years, New Zealand has held the record for the the lowest total, having been dismissed for 26 against England in 1955. Today the West Indies were close to taking the record, but they survived to be dismissed for just 27 runs by Australia in the third test in Jamaica. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

Adam Peacock and Alyssa Healy join you to talk about just how good Test cricket is! We look at the historic Australian win in Jamaica - Starc and Boland couldn't miss, Cam Green had a solid series, and the race is on this spring to find Australia’s next opening batsman.
