176. Smashed (Again), with Tim Bresnan and Will Macpherson
The Grade Cricketer
You're So Right to Call the Dog Bite Out, Mate.
The first episode of the new series, which starts tonight at 9 p.m. Melbourne time. The show will be repeated on Friday night and again on Saturday morning. We hope to see you back in a month's time for our next installment.
England is alchemy. Australia is cobbled. But the hue of the Gabba and sponsored gold trimmings trumps all. India now needs maths and Satan. Pakistan is wild and good. New Zealand demands respect but it will never be given (publicly).
We run through the WBBL. Couple of guys did some things in the Shield, too. Maybe they’ll make the soon-to-be-announced Australia 2’s team to take on the Lions (England 2’s).
We chat with Will Macpherson and Tim Bresnan, in their own separate ways, about England being good.

We nod to Ashley Mallett, Alan Davidson and Peter Philpott.
We fumble around the Quentin De Kock farrago. Bit going on. Worth reflecting upon.
The IPL Mega Auction happens soon. Bit of coin around. Will CA eventually take private equity? Whispers, tea leaves, between-the-lines stuff happening here.
AskTGC meditates on what *really* makes a good day playing cricket. The answer is a dog sleeping at gully.
