A "proper" Sheffield Shield final sees SACA triumph and the Vics buckle

About this episode

Corbin and Ed discuss the thrilling Sheffield Shield final where South Australia triumphed over Victoria, highlighting key players and ongoing cricket topics.

"It was a classic", according to Corbin & Ed and it's hard to argue with that advertisement for long form Australian cricket with South Australia back to back Sheffield Shield champions for the first time in 124 seasons. The boys shower praise on the modern day legend that is Alex Carey and the whole SACA team, winning a game where they were behind for almost all of it. There's also debate whether higher honours are around the corner for Liam Scott and Nathan McAndrew, how the sub rule was implemented, the Junction Oval pitch and Victoria's capitulation. The IPL has produced runs galore to start, Pat Cummins went on a business podcast with some interesting quotes and there's listener questions to answer.
