    Setting the record straight on the BBL sale and what comes next

    04/05/2026 | 47 mins.
    Cricket Australia have pressed pause on their proposed sale of the Big Bash for now so Corbin & Ed get into why all the states weren't on board, what needs to change and what the road ahead looks like.
    Ed sets the record straight on NSW's concerns, how they would like to see the original report recommendations implemented as well as what other states may have been taking into consideration in their decisions. It's an insight into the 12 month process like no other.
    There's also an IPL and PSL catch up with 31 Aussies involved, listener questions galore and lots of player payment chat off the back of the Paul Marsh interview last episode.

    If cricket is for sale, what do the players think?

    28/04/2026 | 28 mins.
    There's been plenty of chat about BBL privatisation so Cricketers Association CEO Paul Marsh joins Corbin to give us the perspective of those at the centre of the competition, the players. Marsh talks through the concerns of the playing group, a new MOU proposal, player payments and possible ownership of teams and the risk to the test schedule.
    Given Marsh now sits in the same chair that Cricket Australia Chief Executive Todd Greenberg did less than two years ago, there's an interesting dynamic at play in negotiations and you get a peek behind the curtain on today's episode.

    Inside the BBL privatisation stand off

    20/04/2026 | 48 mins.
    It’s complicated, discussed mostly behind closed doors and momentous for the future of Australian cricket, so who else would you want to chat through it all than Corbin & Ed.
    The band is back together and there’s one thing on everyone’s lips in Australian cricket – will Cricket Australia sell the eight Big Bash teams? The boys break down why the deadline passed with no formal decision yet, where each state is sitting, what the sticking points are, who would invest, what might be the motives for Indian cricket to buy teams and what's next.
    There’s also IPL success and setbacks for Aussies Cam Green, Cooper Connolly and more, David Warner’s DUI charge, a bunch of listener questions and some honest feedback from Ed about Corbin’s chats with George Bailey and Ryan Harris.

    Ryan Harris talks 'rhino rev ups', SACA glory and Australian coach aspirations

    13/04/2026 | 49 mins.
    It's been a wildly successful two seasons for Ryan Harris in his first head coaching role with South Australia and he sits down with Corbin to talk us through his journey, philosophy and dreams. From lifting training standards and teaching SA to win, to conversations with fringe players, to pitching the case for Liam Scott's baggy green - it's a remarkable insight into the new force in Australian domestic cricket.
    As well, we hear why Harris wants to coach the Australian test team one day, why T20 coaching isn't for him and how he adapted his personality to this new generation of players.
