About this episode
The episode features a detailed analysis of Australia's performance in the T20 World Cup by three former fast bowlers.
Damien Fleming, Glenn McGrath and Jason Gillespie settle in for a no‑nonsense, fast‑bowler‑approved debrief on a chaotic T20 World Cup. With Australia teetering on the brink of an early exit, the trio break down what’s gone wrong — from misfiring matchups to tactical hesitations — and what might still save the campaign. They also cast an eye across the tournament’s genuine heavyweights: India’s ruthless consistency, South Africa’s long‑awaited steel, and a resurgent West Indies side riding home‑crowd swagger and serious firepower. It’s sharp analysis, a few war stories, and the kind of honest chat only three Test greats can deliver. A must‑listen for anyone riding the highs and lows of Australia’s World Cup rollercoaster.
