About this episode
This episode reflects on the Cricket Australia XI's performance in the domestic One-Day Cup and features insights from the inaugural squad members.
The Cricket Australia XI lasted three seasons in the domestic One-Day Cup competition. From 18 matches, they won only twice, and finished bottom of the table in each of their three seasons. However, the squad has produced 7 Test players with Brendan Doggett the latest to receive a Baggy Green. This episode looks back at those years with a seven-team tournament and speaks to those who were part of the inaugural CA XI squad. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
