Listen to the last episode:
The T20 World Cup is off and running and the theme is "nearly" wins for the minnows and lucky escapes for the big guns. Corbin and Ed run through the first six games that saw Nepal give England a scare, India rely on SKY to post a target and the Dutch squander a winning position against Pakistan. There's a look forward to Australia's opening match against Ireland on Wednesday too and whether Connolly, Kuhnemann or both are picked to bolster the spin attack. Another round of Sheffield Shield saw a special innings from Kurtis Patterson, Gabe Bell bowls Tasmania to victory and have Victoria found one after plucking Dylan Brasher out of club cricket. Plus the 14-year-old Indian sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi lights up the U19 World Cup final for India with a devastating knock that sees the boys compare him to Brian Lara and ask "what was that?!". ABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is joined by Ed Cowan to bring you all the highlights and match analysis to keep you up to speed. The pair discuss the key players and big issues that are dominating the cricket agenda, the latest in live fixtures with a hit of cricket banter.
