• Aussies need a new opener as CT semi-finals are set
    Mar 3 2025

    We love the Champions Trophy. That's the official position of the Unplayable Podcast, anyway.

    Australia are into the semis, despite having two of their three games washed out. They now leave the host nation (Pakistan) to play against India in Dubai. Not the least bit confusing...

    Adding to the level of difficulty for the Aussies is the injury to Matt Short, leaving a spot opening the batting with Travis Head vacant. Who will get the privilege?

    Feb 20 2025

    Australia's next challenge is the Champions Trophy, a 50-over tournament hosted by Pakistan, which begins for the men in green and gold against England on Saturday night.However, without seven members of their 2023 World Cup winning squad, it's going to be quite the task for the Aussies.


    Travis Head and Adam Zampa don't seem too concerned however, with both of the key players confident the depth in Australian cricket will see them through to the business end of the tournament.


    Jump straight to Head's interview by heading to 16:00, and scroll ahead to Zampa's at the 35:38 mark.


    Before we hear from these two ODI geniuses, Louis Cameron and Josh Schonafinger discuss the challenges facing Australia at this tournament and just who to look out for.
