Greats condemn cricketing pyramid ruin as Adelaide looms. That’s right, everything’s on the line ahead of the biggest Test in recent memory, as vultures circle, knives sharpen, and drafts brood for Cummins and co. Can they prove people wrong again, or does every team have an expiry? Does calm, sigma alphadom bounce back, or, as one source described the plight of Australia’s men, are they “like a billycart going downhill”? ESPNCricinfo’s Alex Malcolm joins to illuminate the feeling inside the group. Elsewhere, the Gades restore Big V pride in the WBBL, Zampa becomes the lightning rod for everything wrong in the national game, Ali Martin joins us from NZ after England went 1-0 up over there, SA destroys Sri Lanka, and AskTGC is about a guy who made a hundred before venturing to Bourbon St, New Orleans.

India completely dominate Australia in Perth and the knives are very much being sharpened. The meltdown has begun and the calls are growing louder and louder for the ‘old Australia’ to return. Has Australia lost its edge? Should we be harder? It’s been suggested that our boys get back to grade cricket, even if it’s 2’s or 3’s!! Glenn Maxwell joins the show to discuss the rollercoaster of playing cricket for Australia in this era. The scrutiny, the pressures, the highs and the lows. We also discuss the IPL auction, Phillip Hughes and how to play Bumrah. That’s before we get into Sheffield Shield, WBBL, New Zealand v England and Pakistan losing to Zimbabwe. It’s a hell of a start to a summer… though it doesn’t actually start until the next Test.
