It's Adam Gilchrist like you've never heard him before! Gilly tells Brad Hodge and Adam Peacock how he was shitting himself when Ricky Ponting got injured right before the India series in 2004. But before that, Gilly runs us through his Gangnam style-inspired celebration after his one and only wicket at any level of cricket, an IPL scalp in his final ever game (4:50). The boys then pay their respects to the outstanding recent performances from Meg Lanning and Phoebe Litchfield (7:08) before Gilly gives his report card for Alex Carey and Hodgey runs us through Australia's batting stocks heading into the India tour (17:56). It gets really juicy when we go back in time, as Gilchrist recounts his terror at having to captain the side without Ricky Ponting in 2004 (24:58) and then the festival of fun after the Aussies won the series, punctuated by jet skis off the side of James Packer's boat (32:25). We've also got our 60 second challenge, the risers and fallers of the week plus questions from our listeners.
