201. The Death of ODIs, with Haris Rauf

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.

200. Penguins

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 Colombo 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 a ton 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.

199. Hiding In The Bushes, with Wes Agar

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.We're getting behind Budgy Smuggler's Ordinary Rig across the UK, and now France!

196. The Ginger Century, with Liam Livingstone

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. To help amplify Budgy Smuggler's quest to find the UKs Most Ordinary Rig, we want your "Rig Confessions".

Australia plays Sri Lanka in the big one, same goes India and South Africa. 21 year old Todd Murphy was playing at Kahlin Oval in Darwin a fortnight ago, now he's in Sri Lanka with Australia - he joins us to detail his approach to bullying and aesthetics.

191. Dearest Father, with Adam Zampa

We preview the “grand final” between Pakistan and Australia, where events in Lahore promise to override anything that’s happened before (I think maybe Khawaja scored runs and he was born in Pakistan?). The women’s team continue to dominate but where’s the loss they “have to have”? West Indies and England play out a bore draw, but Kraigg Brathwaite’s Mum was there - confirming that Mum Stuff trumps Dad Stuff. Zorba returns to the show for a lengthy chat, maybe 18% of which is about on-field cricket. #AskTGC is about cherry intimidation and Will’s sequel to Tall, Thicc and Dad Dick.Check out our Patreon for exclusive content every single week at https://www.patreon.com/gradecricketer including #AskTGC Fridays and the exclusive audio from all of our YouTube videos.This episode is brought to you by Budgy Smuggler.

186. 4-0, with Simon Katich & Phil Walker

The men's Ashes is over and we're all a bit sad, angry, pissed off, drunk and other visceral emotions. Cam Green's tall isn't he? Phil Walker dials in from The UK to give us some very visceral and poetic minutes. Kohli steps down as captain after not being reprimanded. The Big Bash is a domestic T20 League in Australia. The Under 19 World Cup is on and Higgos is living out his dream of batting 3 for Australia.

184. Omicron Here Now, with Steve O'Keefe

Higgos and Pez have COVID. Was it worth it? Probably. The fallout from the MCG continues and there are still 2 Tests to go. Should Joe Root be captain? Does it matter? Will Scott Boland ever play again? Probably yes. Will Swepson play? Probably yes. Will the SCG spin? When was cricket good? Quinton de Kock has retired from Tests, so will this mean the end of civilised society? Hey, Devon Conway scored some more runs. He's good.

180. The Cricket Starts Now, with Ollie Pope

The harsh blue (grey) hue of the Brisbane sky, blazing sun, golden sponsors and Cameron Green’s size means we’ve finally arrived at The Ashes. Pez and Higgos reject a cold, clinical look at form and instead go big on things like feeling, vibe, narrative, stereotype and jingoism – for the optimal way to enjoy the Ashes is to couch it in colonial, cultural terms, rather than anything vaguely objective or fact-based.As a result, we conclude Australia will cruise: despite not having won a Test series for a very long time, leadership in general tumult, and Smith changing his grip. The Visceral Minute returns and reflect this general approach to things “on both sides”, to invoke D Trump (who played 3s for Manhattan). We speak with Ollie Pope – who played Sydney Test Cricket with some distinction – and afterwards decide that we want him to play, because we are now known to him and want to lamely attach ourselves to his success like the weak little cucks we are.Mt Foxmore’s Shane Warne sledges Mitch Starc again, Langer visits Paine, and Cummins is an astronaut. Meanwhile Ajaz Patel takes 10fer and we ask: what grade would he play here? The Sixers also beat a team with Zampa, Maxwell “and some clubbies”, because if you lose a BBL fixture it follows that you are carrying clubbies.We pay tribute to Rob Aitken for his feat of 500 first grade games, a first-class player if there ever was one.We include a special chat with CEO of Budgy Smugger, Adam Linforth, on building a proud Australian company and tubbing with the NSW Cricket Team.#AskTGC is an overwritten lecture from the pulpit about the harsh realities of life as a millionaire sportsperson.

Worth reflecting upon.The IPL Mega Auction happens soon. Bit of coin around. Will CA eventually take private equity?

The Hundred starts this week and the ECB have bet the house on it. Is it a moral and financial catastrophe or does Jos Buttler hit a big ball? Thankfully, The Guardian’s Ali Martin joins to give the discussion some credibility. Meanwhile, everyone’s playing white ball stuff with their two’s and three’s: England and India will win the club championship with that kind of depth, while Australia are nowhere. Will still bump and therefore beat England though, so there’s that. Nathan Hauritz joins to talk about rep lids at grade level, replacing Shane Warne, and scenes from the cubicle after Cardiff. #AskTGC is a long-form epic detailing what many are calling “The perfect afternoon in New Zealand”, only this one is ruined by a Gray-Nicolls jockstrap and box.Check out our Patreon for exclusive content every single week at https://www.patreon.com/gradecricketerThis episode is brought to you by Budgy Smuggler.

Will still bump and therefore beat England though, so there’s that. Nathan Hauritz joins to talk about rep lids at grade level, replacing Shane Warne, and scenes from the cubicle after Cardiff. #AskTGC is a long-form epic detailing what many are calling “The perfect afternoon in New Zealand”, only this one is ruined by a Gray-Nicolls jockstrap and box.Check out our Patreon for exclusive content every single week at https://www.patreon.com/gradecricketerThis episode is brought to you by Budgy Smuggler.

139. Thirty-Fucking-Six, with Michael Bevan

Australia systematically dismantle the Indian cricket team with a humiliation that most of us have already pretty much forgotten about, but will long live in the memory of our Indian friends. We do what we always do after another historic success: we pick apart the flaws and weaknesses of an Australian team that just bowled Kohli, Pujara et al out for 36.Who plays in the next test and why; how good are second innings runs; will COVID deny Sydney a non-dead-rubber Test; are India absolutely gone; was their fielding coach at a wedding this week; and will Tim Paine cure COVID?Dan Christian hits a 15 ball 50 in the BBL, Jaques Kallis joins England in preparation for Sri Lanka, New Zealand are still good at home and Shane Warne’s wearing a hat now.Michael Bevan is on the show to discuss scoring 1400 runs in a shield season, hitting 4s off the last ball on New Years Day against the West Indies and wearing full kit in the shower after a low score. You can follow Bevo on Instagram at @bevo_michaelbevan for updates on his coaching and mentoring in the coming weeks and months. #AskTGC asks if securing a chop equals a superior circuit and should you play cricket you enjoy or cricket you can be proud of?This episode is brought to you by Budgy Smuggler where you can get all of your Christmas gifts, smugglers and accessories..

We're talking England going all-in on the pace-train, Ollie Pope looking good at all times (and costs), Shannon Gabriel castling blokes for fun and how everything is a little bit 'private-school'.Monty Panesar makes his debut on the show and we get into all sorts of Oliver Twist, apple watches at mid-off, smoke-bombing spinners in Brighton, Greg Matthews, being abused in grade cricket and leg pressing his couch. Jason Gillespie is on the show to talk about back sweat, Jofra and everything yet to come, how to make it swing and BLM.#AskTGC gets into dealing with sad news, Army vs Navy vs Air Force and how to get a girl to like you.
