278. नये खिलौने (New Toys), with Peter Lalor and Gideon Haigh
In the absence of someone stripping down, donning Doc Martens and "bashing the door down", Australia selects a new toy in Nathan McSweeney. Can this sea turtle make it to water? The openers lobby is aghast, but what's the alternative? Elsewhere, 2s-3s didn't just lose to Pakistan, they were chested on their own turf. The format, therefore, is clearly dead. Cricket et al's Pete Lalor and Gideon Haigh join us for an in-depth chat on the state of media and the state of cricket, before we return with Lizelle Lee heroics and WBBL foot stuff. AskTGC is the typical maelstrom of witty sickos. Sign up to Cricket et al to read Gideon, Pete and Pez for the best BGT print coverage you'll get this summer.

276. Skeletons Make History, with Tim Paine
Warner’s leadership ban is lifted, definitely closing the chapter on everything, all tied up in a neat little package. The birds chip McSweeney apparently. The Skeletons make serious history. Are they…good? Tim Paine, also with us on the show, answers that one directly. Pakistan delivers Bazball kryptonite, the WBBL gets underway, WA loses 8-1, AskTGC’s fly in deluxe.
