Pete and Gid pivot to the concluding stages of the Big Bash League, where the big beasts have been let loose, the sixes are raining, and Steve Smith v David Warner has been summer’s hottest ticket. Also India lose an(other) home ODI series. Plus we have a rummage in Pete’s new cassette collection (formerly Gid’s), discuss recent and upcoming gigs, and have some reading recommendations.

Gideon Haigh and Pete Lalor have been writing about cricket, and talking about music, books, movies, television and life, for nearly fifteen years.  Now they do it with a podcast recorder handy, which sometimes they remember to turn on.  Stand by for a podcast full of insights and lacking in organisation.

STAYING ALIVE: England & Nepal, Pakistan & The ICC + Pete & A Cooker Pub

Pete and Gideon watch Pakistan destroy Australia then the T20 World Cup, plunging cricket into crisis by forfeiting their huge match against India on 15 February.  Does this portend an irrevocable split in world cricket?  Or was it maybe always coming?  Pat Cummins won't be there either.  Why is he advertising it?  Couldn't they get Steve Smith?  Oh wait.....  Plus Harry Brook and his state of leatheredness: is the cover-up always worse than the offence?

WORLD DESTRUCTION: Pakistan Trouble Australia & The World Cup
