The Can’t Bowl Can’t Throw Cricket Show

Is there anything better than the IPL? Well, probably, but at the moment it's better than County Cricket, so we tore in. Then we went after County Cricket just to keep our English listeners happy. Plenty of laughs as usual. Who says cricket is boring?

Australia have just defeated India in the mother of all Test match upsets. It was therefore our duty to pick out all the funny bits and laugh at them.

We planned a full show and then remembered that the IPL auction was on. So we mainly spoke about that as players were bought and sold live on the show. We also named our Underappreciated World XI.

Alastair Cook stood down from the English Test captaincy this week, so to commemorate that we spoke about him for all of 20 seconds. Then we got onto better and more interesting things like a quick NZ v Australia ODI wrap up; what the hell is a CBE?; bees; the new South African T20 league; a PSL preview; is 'Warney-UnCut' a new production about him not being circumcised?

It's the first show of 2017 - Cat was still on leave so Handsome Hammy Goodman joined Dennis in the studio. Dennis bores us with his take on all the Indian Test grounds; The Australian Test summer; Dennis goes on a massive rant about the Australian Test squad for India; Some Mohammad Hafeez love; Should Cook step down as Test skipper?; Is MS Dhoni the most unselfish Indian cricketer ever, and how the hell did Bangladesh lose?

The team talks about James Anderson being an "arsehat"; Catherine McGregor plays "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grade Cricketer?" and talks about her new book; they laugh at the India v England Test series; WBBL02 has started with a bang, and Australia and Pakistan are about to play a Test series.

Brad Hogg joins the team in studio to talk about his new book, as well as current cricket issues. Yes, his tongue is long! They discuss his new book The Wrong 'Un, why he wrote it, and the process behind it.

Australia won a Test, lost a series but went up to 2nd in the Test rankings. England lost a Test and went to 3rd. How does that even work? Dennis and Cat talk about their trip to Adelaide… and they also look at Pakicollapse in New Zealand, Kohli versus Stokes, Southern Stars fun facts and more.

Just because we haven’t learned our lesson, we called another Pakistani and had more bloody phone issues. But we did finally manage to get through to the legend Mushtaq Ahmed. We chatted about: Faf and Mint Gate, the “Birdline”, Dennis goes on another massive rant, Australia’s new look Test team, Rod Marsh’s power over the other selectors, and Mushtaq Ahmed gave a deep dive into spin bowling tactics.
