National and global cricketing icon, Ellyse Perry joins us for a special interview direct from TGC HQ, aka Higgos’ apartment. Arguably Australia’s greatest ever Womens cricketer, Pez generously fields questions on important matters: like her what’s app messages, her defensive positioning for the Matildas, horses, and whether or not she agreed to this interview for image and brand purposes only. Of course, in-between, she speaks with customary eloquence about her career, the growth of womens cricket, and the faux pas’ that blokes can make. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mankads, mankads, mankads. How do they make us feel? Is that relevant? Should you just stay behind the line or is that too simplified an argument? Is this the new normal? Who owns cricket? Is any of this funny? We discuss it all after the Charlie Dean and Deepti Sharma 'incident' at Lord's. In better news, TGC is back on stage in Melbourne on November 2 and we want you to come along. In even better news still, Cam Green is 2m and Australia's most exciting T20 talent.... that's not in the World Cup Squad. Pakistan and England are embroiled in a 7 match T20 series and it's actually good and interesting! #AskTGC promotes a Triple C for bowlers and we've also been sent in some alarming alphadom stories of Bradman in the showers, talking to New Zealanders.

September is here and that means that your dreams are about to die.... again. The Road Safety World Series is here and we're cooing about Sachin sitting in 1A while Watto's stable base makes us feel like Australia should win this meaningless tournament. Tim David will debut for Australia this week after he gives us some serious ASMR in the nets. Ben Horne is on the show to discuss another rival Indian league popping up to take away international cricket's best players. England are in Pakistan for the first time in 17 years, but what's Alex Hales like as a bloke? Rachel Haynes retires from international cricket after winning it all and then feeling nothing. #AskTGC ponders whether you can be good at something you've never done and a disturbing dream about Pezza in the urinals.

Old-school this week as we pour over some real grade cricket gear both on-field and online, Australia wins some ODIs as Finch offers some, but not all, blood, England's turnaround continues as Stuart Broad gets access to "the conversation" with Pidge, Sri Lanka wins the Asia Cup but that pales in comparison to Kohli minnow runs, #AskTGC is about champing, parenthood and George Orwell.

Let's be honest, literally no one cares about Australia's series win against Zimbabwe in Townsville. We're all here to get around the Zimbabweans for their historic achievements. We get 5/10 hero Ryan Burl on a zoom in between net sessions to talk about the circuit, the casino, the showers, the kit and what the Aussies are like as blokes. Chris Lynn also talks to us while waiting fir his UberEats to arrive about the future of cricket and how many different training shirts he must have. Across the equator, Jonny Bairstow has broken his leg ahead of the 3rd and deciding Test against South Africa at The Oval. India and Pakistan are embroiled in the Asian Cup - a tournament that exists solely so these two teams can play each other as many times as possible. And we're here for it. #AskTGC asks what we are to do with an Overseas player that leaves the ground to chop his girlfriend. Huge news: TGC now has kit!

Ben Stokes announces his retirement from ODI cricket after 104 matches for England, but is this the end of ODIs or will we still watch whatever is on TV regardless of the format? India win the ODI series in England 2-1, but all the talk is about Kohli. Is it time to move on? Will he make amends against Zimbabwe? The BBL Schedule is announced... yeah, there's a fair few games on but will Dave Warner be allowed to captain a team? Haris Rauf is on the show to tell us about his time playing 2nd Grade cricket in Sydney and #AskTGC asks a question about a possibly mentally disturbed former Australian A squad member.

Australia's humiliating defeat in Galle leaves us to question if there is any fucking danger? Was it the umpires? Was it the reviews? Was it Sri Lanka's Colombu community breaking into the Presidential Palace to perform backflips in his pool? Was it that Sri Lanka played well? Hard to say. One thing we do know is that betting in Russia is in a good place after a few farmers in Gujarat put on on IPL showcase on YouTube. We ask, so what's the problem? In other news, Virat Kohli hasn't scored ar un in three years but is his currency in franking credits or the dwindling Bitcoin? Barney Ronay is on the show to discuss the fortunes of the English cricket team and what it all means. And finally, #AskTGC makes us ponder what celebrations to mimic on dance floors in Amsterdam, if any. We're getting behind Budgy Smuggler's Ordinary Rig across the UK, and now France! Monsieur Ordinaire has taken France by storm, and you can get around both events by checking tickets at budgysmuggleruk.com or @budgysmugglerfrance on Instagram.

England may have actually completed cricket with their 4th successive come-from-behind win, this time against India. The numbers are absolutely mind boggling. Minds have been boggled. Meanwhile, Australia won the first Test in Galle against Sri Lanka in about 45 minutes. Are we satisfied? Guess it means Australia have one foot in the WTC Final. With sincere thanks to NT Cricket for giving us access to him, we chat to Wes Agar live on deckchairs, sipping on mocktails about shifting tin, his roof, environments and what he was wearing when his brother Ash hit 98 on Test debut. #AskTGC continues the theme of trying to figure out what the hell is going on with Bazball.

Daryl Mitchell completes the perfect series with three consecutive hundreds in a losing side. NZ... what's doing? Bairstow turns into Bradman thanks to Baz-Ball and England are all of a sudden the greatest team in the world, despite having the exact same players as the ones that lost 17/18 Tests last year. We have trust issues. Australia are playing some mind-games with Sri Lanka... but why? Will Maxwell play? Will Steve Smith do something good? Why is everyone injured? Can Sri Lanka do the unthinkable? Matthew Kuhnemann is on the show to tell us about the teams he's played for and how his winter plans have changed because he now opens the bowling for Australia. #AskTGC questions if life can get any worse than this Thursday and Friday circuit. We're getting behind Budgy Smuggler's Ordinary Rig across the UK, and now France! Monsieur Ordinaire has taken France by storm, and you can get around both events by checking tickets at budgysmuggleruk.com or @budgysmugglerfrance on Instagram. If you're after some of the grandest hoodie + trackie wear in the Aus winter, or swimmers for the UK summer, head to budgysmuggler.com and use the code "CHAMP" to see what happens.

YJB was absolutely sensational, Root is the best player ever (at the moment) and Stokes is the captain that England need. But just how bad were New Zealand? Australia are doing good things in Sri Lanka, but will we remember any of this unless Tim David is selected and we feel safety in the size of the men that represent the country. South Africa are winning against India B, not that any of this matters, because the IPL rights just got sold for $5.1billion USD. Wouldn't mind a slice. Liam Livingstone is on the show to tell us how and why he swings so hard and #AskTGC involves a young law clerk being caught in a lie.
