187. Season Finale, with Shane Watson and Chris Rogers“Every week! Every week!” As we wind down the summer (there’s more cricket than ever) we start by exploring this profound quote in light of some more dark club cricket shit, followed by the lightness of Australia’s lead over England in the Women’s Ashes. Alyssa Healy gets the Women’s World Cup on TV, CA says no to Smith, Smith says yes to NFTs, South Africa sweeps India, and England posts the most one-sided one run win against the Windies. Shane Watson is on Zoom and Chris Rogers is in the studio, before we finish it off with AskTGCs about trappings and tubbing at an indoor centre.
