Good Weekend senior writer Jane Cadzow joins Malcolm Knox, author and Sydney Morning Herald columnist, for a conversation about the state of play in Australian cricket, following a tough summer on and off the field. Cadzow has penned two authoritative Good Weekend features on Australian cricket, namely the 2018 cover story 'What turned Steve Smith into a cheat?' and a 2019 profile of the new Australian coach, 'Can Justin Langer save Australian men’s cricket?' Moderated by Good Weekend senior writer Konrad Marshall (who in 2019 profiled Australian star all-rounder Ellyse Perry), the podcast examines the ructions the national men’s team dealt with over a turbulent summer – from allegations of sledging and racism to hubris and arrogance – and compares that tumult with the poised and popular rise of their all-conquering female counterparts.
