The Australian squad for the first Bangladesh test in Darwin dropped and Corbin & Ed get their selectors hat on to try squeeze 13 into 11.

There's also a few Bangladesh player stories to get familiar with, the Sydney Sixers complete their coach shuffle, The Hundred is down on numbers, England look like they'll appoint an Englishmen to replace McCullum and more listener questions.

Brendon McCullum has been sacked as English test cricket coach, so was the chapter worth pursuing or are they back where they started? Corbin & Ed assess the Bazball reign that brought wins, aggression and new faces with off field issues and on field brain fades. Expect some contrarian views for a contrarian coach.
As well, the boys wonder who coaches England next, whether this opens the door for a Ben Stokes un-retirement for the Ashes in 2027 and there’s also news in the BBL with the opening match in India, states disagreeing again plus the listener questions aren’t slowing down.
