Australia v West Indies | Brisbane | Day 125 Jan 202400:17:23

What the hell was that? The West Indies are back? The biggest partnership against Australia in a pink-ball Test? Does Brisbane like this or is this just because The Heat won? Starc goes to 350 Test poles. Dad says Lillee was good. Haven't heard much about his body language recently. Is Josh Hazlewood the gay icon this cricket team needs? Come back tomorrow for fireworks!!!

261. In and Around The Boys22 Jan 202401:39:20

The Australian Men selfishly retain their spots for The Gabba, thus denying us the trappings we seek. But have you seen the ODI Squad? Fraser-McGurk is not only in - but around - the boys, as is Xavier Bartlett. May not play, but at the very least it’s a kit, rhythms, contours thing. Bareback will get a roll in gold, so we’ll be strong on eye hygiene. 

Elsewhere, the BBL reaches its denouement. Usual suspects have come and gone at the famous Gold Coast cauldron, where fringe players fail interspersed with shots of the Suns’ Matt Rowell. Lloyd Pope humiliated blokes with wrong’uns, which was good. In fact, the BBL has been good. The BBL is growing. We may be minority-voiced commentariat cucks, but can the teams not get worse as the season goes on? Maybe…not?

This week India and England commence a 5 Test series. It is a battle of extremity and delectable for the neutral. How does Bazball fare against expert spin on raggers? England could become the greatest ever team to play the code, or the greatest embarrassment known to man. There’s no in-between. Will be fun.

AskTGC concerns a second trimester pregnancy, buckets on bonces, and whether or not to let the darkness in.

260. My Mouth Is Very Dry15 Jan 202401:45:42

Would you “push the red button” for Class A cricket? Each to their own, which is essentially what Western Australia said following Matthew Renshaw’s conspiracy selection last week. Kim Hughes felt particularly sick, poor bloke. Steve Smith’s going to open – it’s trappings where trappings are needed. But can this team go bulk? The Australian family populace can – they’re turning out in such numbers at the Bucket on Bonce League, where the top 4 is locked and Warner rode a helicopter. We assess Shaun Marsh’s career. TLDR; my kingdom to render others’ pigeons. Finch and SOK get their flowers. There’s a genre-leading catch in the Super Smash, NZ dusts Pakistan, India does so Afghanistan, Virat does Novak. We look again at India v England, before #AskTGC ponders “prospective” women, unrequited interest, and Brian Lara.

259. It's Obvious, with Beau Webster09 Jan 202402:22:38

Australia sweep Pakistan 3-0 in the Tests, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the baggy greens thanks to Pakistan’s plucky courage, exciting finds and Qantas’ baggage handlers. Who replaces 26 Test tons at the top of the innings for the Aussies? Are you ready for the outrage when the thing that you want to happen doesn’t happen? #ThankGodItsAllOver says one great, but hasn’t it only just begun? Green, Bancroft, Harris, Renshaw, Smith, Schappell Corby? We investigate all possibilities and then annoy you deliberately because we are owned by the government and they tell us what to say. Join The Navy.

Speaking of conspiracy theories, South Africa lose to India in the shortest Test match of all time. Rohit says people need to shut their mouths when coming to India and Sunny fires up the populous by stoking some colonial flames ahead of the England Test series. No one’s happy. Everyone’s annoyed. Nothing is good.

20 year old Phoebe Litchfield has had a storming series in India as Australia claim the ODI series 3-0 and Ellyse Perry gets a message from the greats to celebrate her 300th. That’s before we get into more pitch chat in the BBL as we head into the business end of school holidays. So chuck a bucket on your head, mentally prepare yourself for your first week back at work and start remembering what day it is because 2024 looks like more of the same.

257. Our New Fortress? with Aaron Finch19 Dec 202302:02:39

Australia wins by 360 runs. Warner has a tonne, Gaz has half a thousand, The Bison’s free, The Cartel’s purring. But what is Perth? Whatever you want it to be, I guess. A fortress. A money pit. A cyber cauldron. A shit tip. Thanks for coming anyway, Pakistan. See you on Boxing Day for nose exhalations, walking in and out of rooms, Blobbying our way through the three weeks of the year Australians let the cricket wash over them. And yes, the BBL is back. We have a new set, by the way. Aaron Finch is on the couch, talking World Cups, retirement, commentary, Hardik v Rohit, and sort of/not really getting dropped. Once that’s done, we return to the new set to discuss the looming IPL auction. That’s not to be confused with the mock auction. Talk about turning dolls over and going to work! Bulk Rupees for Starc and Head, one assumes. The women take on India in a Test starting at the Wankhede on Thursday. Yes, we call for shit tips. South Africa v India. West Indies v New Zealand. Jofra playing for his old club. AskTGC is about drugs, cover drives and simulated orgasms.

Aussie Spirit Gold, Sevens Heartbreak | Morning After Paris31 Jul 202400:56:12

Kaylee McKeown wins the right type of gold medal, the come-over-the-top-late type, to continue Australia's gold medal flow. May that tap doth flow forevermore (until week two)! We JAG Bronze in the "four by two", which of course is the correct way to attain this medal, and unfortunately Winnington misuses his carrots. Elsewhere, the Women's Sevens suffer a shock double-loss, confining them to fourth, an Argus Review, and a difficult (for us) interview with New Zealand's Laura McGoldrick. There are also calls for Argus Reviews in the Basketball. The Sharks get up deluxe, The Hockeyroos go down, and Simon Biles elicits the general sentiment of "f*** meeee!" from blokes eating breakfast. Boys Actually delivers again

256. Wasp v Spider, with Will Sutherland & Fergus O'Neill11 Dec 202302:12:04

Flat summers mean better chat, so we roar back into life with Test gear, Johnson v Warner gear, BBL Shit Tip gear and Wasp v Spider gear. We’ve got some live show announcements up top, some information about how we’re summering, and how to get around the boys on Patreon. We’re joined by a couple of young Roosters in Fergus O’Neill and Will Sutherland, chatting footy (of course), Quinton de Kock, the get rarer movement, Annabelle Sutherland’s bunce, and Baghdad United. AskTGC concerns lycra, fatherly identity issues and running fast. Great to be back.

255. We Need A Ticker-Tape Parade, with Nathan Lyon & Alex Malcolm21 Nov 202301:49:40

This country needs a ticker-tape parade, so we can get around our heroes, who in-turn, will get around us! Australia secure their 6th and best ever World Cup win in the ODI format. This whole episode is a complete suck-off. Drink it in, Australia. Drink it in. Nathan Lyon is on the show from Perth to give us the details of what it all means to the players, where the ticker-tape parade should be and if Ronnie Mac ever get back to him after offering his services for the World Cup. Alex Malcolm joins us in studio to give us the x's and o's. He's a gun, Alex. #AskTGC is from an Indian fan who tells us of his experience in the US of the cricket World Cup final with his Australian college. 9-2. Fuck off.

252. Can Australia Jag The World Cup? with Adam Gilchrist31 Oct 202301:57:38

We start this week's episode with a Crows Feet review of Stuart Broad's comments amid the chaos of Lord's, while promoting his new book. He's good, isn't he? The World Cup remains India's to lose, but are Australia showing signs of resurgence to the point where they could jag this thing? Warner's being a coat, the Bin Lid has whacked a couple of tennis balls, blokes are on the golf course and Punter is using words like deplorable! Looking good from here. 

Adam Gilchrist is on the show to discuss his World Cup experiences, his memories of getting turned over by Bangladesh in 2005, beating South Africa in 2007, facing India in 2003 and what highlight packages of his we can expect over the summer. 

There's also Greg Chappell's GoFundMe, Steve Smith's property portfolio, Sheffield Shield drama and a WBBL update. That's before we get into #AskTGC where a concerned father wonders why his son chose cricket over basketball. Save yourself, young man!

251. Pumping Around, with Kim Garth, Tess Flintoff & Matt Roller24 Oct 202302:05:14

We are midway through the World Cup and it's fair to say that no one knows anything, none of it matters because India is a nearly unbackable favourite and the ICC are meeting at the end of the tournament anyway to decide the future of the format. Hope my team is good by the end of next week.

Unfortunately Adam Zampa is not on the show, but Matt Roller from ESPNCricInfo is and he joins us from Bangalore in India to tell us how much air one can chew, if any of the teams near India are good and what the feeling is around the World Cup generally, from a fan's perspective. 

Finally, Kim Garth and Tess Flintoff from the Melbourne Stars join us in the studio to discuss being rolled for 29, pumping around Europe before a call-up to the Australian squad, cricket in Ireland, Alyssa Healy's hand, Grace Harris hitting sixes with a broken bat and stupid questions men ask.

250. How Do You Beat India? with Shane Watson & Gideon Haigh17 Oct 202301:54:54

We’re back, baby! Yep, definitely. Australia’s off the mark, noses are harder, someone said “lift!” and now the Cup is surely ours. Sure, India appear completely unbeatable, but that’s their problem: no one wants to lead the Melbourne Cup at the first furlong (or some shit)! Shane Watson joins to add credibility to all of the above. Elsewhere, Bancroft and Renshaw record hundreds, Caleb Jewell is of interest, and Michael Neser is Australia’s best bat. The Women handle the Windies and the covers, and we acknowledge the 1973 team, with Sharon Tredrea et al. We then speak with cricket writing titan Gideon Haigh about the future of the game, and his next move after departing The Australian. Following Gideon, AskTGC appropriately drips with prose. That’s right, it’s Pat Cummins erotic fiction. Thanks.

249. Is Australia Cooked? with Jake Fraser-McGurk and Bharat Sundaresan10 Oct 202301:44:34

The thing that happened last is the thing that happens forever, so we write Australia off for World Cup '24, until the next show, next week. India are pretty good. So is South Africa and New Zealand. So, one game in, unfortunately only one spot remains. Before then, we meander through Shield and domestic matters, such as a heckler with a dildo and megaphone at the Shield and PlayHQ privacy options. Elsewhere, three anonymous Lord's blokes get absolutely dealt with, but one will be back for next Ashes to do bulk damage. Australia's Women once again maintain safety - helps when H Matthews isn't knocking about, and looks like cricket at the Olympics is ON. Either that or Lacrosse - let's see what lobs in Mumbai. Jake Fraser-McGurk joins to talk world records and sliding into ABdV's areas, and Bharat Sundaresan gives us the actual lowdown from Lucknow. #AskTGC concerns father-in-law dynamics and selfishness, and then indulgently slides into your hosts own failures in this domain. Cheers.

248. Is This The Last Serious World Cup? with Spencer Johnson & Daniel Brettig03 Oct 202301:37:23

With the World Cup starting on Thursday, Australian domestic cricket once again commencing and, most importantly, Round 1 of "Premier" cricket getting underway, it's time for us to reflect on wasted Saturdays.

Who will win the World Cup? Is it India's to lose? What hope does Australia have? Can England defend the crown? 

Should ODI's just be confined to World Cups? Incoming MCC President Mark Nicholas thinks so. 

Meanwhile Hayley Matthews plays one of the all-time great innings in Australia, scoring 132 off 64 in West Indies' world record run chase at North Sydney Oval. Is the gap closing? Do we like it? No. 

Dan Brettig is on the show to preview what we suspect is going to be a 'low' summer in Australia, rather, one that doesn't involve India or England, and what I might mean for blooding new trappings for the eyes. 

Spencer Johnson joins us from his home in South Australia to tell us about his journey from West Torrens to representing his country, via the Big Bash, The Hundred and MLC.

We’re back! Because when there’s international-cricket-with-actual-jeopardy, we can only kneel to hoover up these last remaining crumbs. Along the way we’ve also got Stokes selling salad stories and quoting Spiderman, lid-lifting about Bairstow and Piers gear, hard-hitting journalism about Modi’s India/Bharat and the BJP, and why the World Cup will be perversely good. New Zealand all-rounder and debutant Father Jimmy Neesham joins us to talk about light horses and environments, while CricInfo’s Alex Malcolm lays bare Australia’s issues ahead of next week’s tournament. AskTGC comes in from Loose McNasty, pertaining to impossible social dynamics caused by one’s identity as “The Cricketer”. Excuse the indulgence, but me think it mazing.

244. The Truth of Cricket, with Alex Malcolm18 Jul 202301:48:18

Major League Cricket is here and so is Zampa's reference to the 20th of April. Is it good? Are we watching? What does The Star Spangled Banner mean to powerplays? Australia have successfully retained the Women's Ashes, but this is of course not enough, despite it being good for the game. The best series ever though; Alyssa Healy thinks not. India absolutely smash the West Indies in the 1st Test. How will splitting up the islands benefit anyone? Do the West Indies just need to WANT IT more? Alex Malcolm from ESPNCricInfo joins us in the studio to preview the 4th Men's Ashes Test at Old Trafford. It's some really nuffy cricket chat but also we complain about why bad things happen to the team that we like and how nothing is fair. #AskTGC comes in from Scotland and also Edmonton, Canada. What is the truth of cricket? Will our world's completely capitulate?

242. The Colonial Leash06 Jul 202301:18:40

We emerge from obstacles technical and travel to drag ourselves to the microphone for a late crack at the scenes from Lord’s. Danny Rood starts things off, before we pore over events legally, philosophically, sociologically, tribally, viscerally, clumsily, and in grade terms. Also, Stokes and Smith can play. Following a rare defeat at The Oval overnight, Alyssa Healy claims her team "is allowed to lose a game of cricket". Very interesting! Scotland look poised to hurdle the full-member only World Cup, and AskTGC ponders the real meaning of the Spirit of Cricket, as well as whether or not his question should have included some "cock stuff".

241. It's A Cult, with Barney Ronay27 Jun 202301:19:45

We record this from The Oval in south London the day before The Lord's Test match, where anything can happen but one thing is for certain, this is very cult-like and we're having a nice time. Barney Ronay stops in to talk about the good things and the things we are allowed to question. What is tackles? What is Tongue? Speak in absolutes and with such certainty forever. Never change. Do push ups. We celebrate Ash Gardner's 12 wicket haul in the women's Test, the hopefully bright future of 5 day Tests for women and also if we'll accept anything other than a clean sweep. Nathan Lyon is about to embark on his 100th consecutive Test match for Australia, while England have already named their spinner-less 2nd Test starting XI. Why? There's other news about first pitches at The Olympic Stadium, West Indies failure in Zimbabwe, Netherlands' success and some other, more irreverent, stuff in-between.
