Send us a textHello all, welcome to Season 4 of The Cricket Slouch and what a way to start it with a discussion on the recently concluded World Test Championship final. Congratulations to South Africa for having won it and for finally being able to get that monkey off their back and beating a fancied Australia after being on the backfoot for 3 whole days !And to deconstruct this astonishing win, I am joined by my regular buddies, Sandeep, Ajit and Shounak. We discuss the ebbs and flows of the match, Markram's astonishing innings, Rabada's incisive bowling and Bavuma's leadership and defiance in the face of adversity, and Smith's return to form. We also talk about where to for both sides from here, likely changes we might see, potential retirements coming up and just a hint of what Australia might do for the Ashes. So please, relax and enjoy the discussion.
In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy, Raj and Stu relive the rollercoaster ride that was the 2025 ICC World Test Championship Final, which saw South Africa crowned champions as they defeated Australia by 5 wickets at Lord's. We start the show with our thoughts, feelings and emotions from a game that swung back and forth and up and down across the three and a bit days of cricket. We talk South Africa's reaction, the mood after the first couple of days and the pitch conditions for this showcase event. As the discussion continues, we focus on the standout contributors, such as Aiden Markram, Kagiso Rabada, Temba Bavuma, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc. We also look ahead to the next WTC cycle to ponder the big questions facing Australia and whether this title will propel South Africa to more and more success over the coming years.

World Test Championship Final, Day 4: They bloody well did it. South Africa and winning finals - that hasn't been a pairing that has seen much airtime in international cricket.

World Test Championship Final, Day 3: South Africa have looked the underdog throughout this WTC final, but halfway through the third day, that all changed. Even the torment that Starc and Hazlewood put them through with the bat was washed away, as Aiden Markram put together the innings of his life. But they're not done yet, and for South Africa, the last part of the climb has so far proved too hard. Can they finish the job on Day 4?

Barra joined Clairsy & Lisa to weigh in on this week’s sport and was bit bleary-eyed from a late night watching the World Test Championship Final between Australia and South Africa at Lords. The guys chatted about the opening day of the West Test at WACA in November and everyone’s excited for the new look stadium complete with water slide. Plus, it’s a jam-packed weekend of AFL in Perth this weekend with two games to ba played at Optus Stadium. Barra is impressed by the fan turnout at North Melbourne’s training sessions at The Good Grocer Park and everyone thinks 4.10pm kick-off is just too late for the Eagles match against Carlton on Sunday. Barra asked the guys their thoughts on the Wildcats rebrand and Lisa’s school of thought is if it isn’t broke don’t fix it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the show, it's a full house and a packed runsheet with RCB winning IPL 2025, the Black Caps naming a new coach and an updated central contract list, England announcing their squad for the first Test against India and preview of the World Test Championship Final between Australia and South Africa. We start the show by talking about the IPL final, which saw Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeat the Punjab Kings to take out the title for the first time in 18 years. There's praise for Krunal Pandya's match-defining spell, RCB's middle order and a generous backyard cricket invitation for Virat Kohli now that he's ticked another item off his bucket list. Next we move to New Zealand to talk Black Caps announcements, with Rob Walter named as the new head coach with the latest batch of central contracts offered shortly after. There's talk about the faith shown in Walter by NZC, Gary Stead's legacy, the uncharacteristically youthful look to the contract list and Devon Conway's future. We swing back to the UK to discuss another announcement - this time the England squad for the first Test against India. Gus Atkinson is out with injury and Jofra Archer's not quite ready, so does that leave England with enough bowling quality to take 20 wickets? And will there be a spot in the starting XI for Jacob Bethell? To round out the show, we discuss the upcoming World Test Championship Final between Australia and South Africa at Lord's. Who will open for the Aussies? Where will Cameron Green slot in? Can South Africa score enough runs to challenge? What should we expect from the pitch? Does the WTC have a scheduling problem? And who will win? We'll be back in your feed next week to review the WTC final and preview the India v England Test series.
