About this episode

The episode discusses Australia's T20 loss to Pakistan, highlights players to watch, and delves into cricket myths and technology.

Australia’s T20 loss to Pakistan gets the “warm-up game” treatment but there are still real watch-points: Cooper Connolly’s bowling keeps impressing, his batting… not so much, and the boys talk squad balance as the World Cup edges closer. Plus a big tick for WA quick Marley Beardman, with plenty of hype (and a few gears still to come). Then it’s back to the family Q&A. Favourite Australian Test grounds, the best state cricketers who never got the Baggy Green, and a quality spray on cricket myths that refuse to die. There’s also a proper DRS deep-dive: the “benefit of doubt” tradition, inconsistent tech across countries, and why some reviewed balls seem to live in a parallel universe. Finish it off with helmets changing technique, and two all-time “worst bowler to get you out” stories. All Over Bar the Cricket with James Brayshaw, Matthew Hayden and Greg Blewett.
