Episode 40: The Summer of Cricket is Underway

Welcome back to the podcast where research and knowledge are secondary to the ramblings of an old man and the occasional appearance of his teenage son. On a cricket packed program, we firstly take a look at the Women’s T20 World Cup, where Australia has been dominated despite an increasing injury toll, and a favourite for the tournament has made a shock exit. Secondly we talk about the farce that has become the Test series between Pakistan and England, and consider whether Pakistan are truly just trying to shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to cricket in their country, and whether or not they can find a way out. Then we head back home and discuss the first round of the Sheffield Shield, and what the results and the performances suggest for the season ahead in terms of Australia’s international summer. And on that, with Cameron Green gone for the summer, we discuss the possibilities when it comes to replacing him in the Test squad, and the various options that available and alive over the next month of cricket. For those of you still here, thanks for listening to Peters and Peters, the podcast where knowing about sport is secondary to the ability to talk rubbish about it.
