  • After 18 long seasons, Kohli and RCB finally win one
    Season 18, Episode 17: The IPL turned 18 this year, old enough for Royal Challengers Bangalore to finally buy a celebratory drink after falling short in every season. Virat Kohli and co will be happy, as will Ben Jones in our IPL segment, after picking Krunal Pandya way back at the start of the season to be the difference. Before that, World Test Championship lead-up, Karun Nair and Kurtis Patterson continue the comeback trail, more Olympic machinations emerge, and Bangladesh will once more be Aminul House.

  • EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Glenn Maxwell retires from ODI cricket
    Season 18, Episode 16: A special ep today – yes, Glenn Maxwell has retired from One Day International cricket. In this exclusive conversation, he explains that decision in his own words, the timing and wider context. From there, we went back to the beginning to the tell the story of Maxi the one-day mainstay, in a mighty career that in this format that spanned 14 years and included two World Cup wins. As always, he was on top form in this chat – a lovely way to put a full stop on one of Australia’s most thrilling and eventful 50-over journeys.
