They're calling it the best World Cup ever but Australia is out and no one cares about it anyway.... unless you like T20 in which case it is absolutely sensational. Australia is out of the tournament, so what does this mean for the future of the sport in this country. Ed Cowan helps us out with these big issues and also signals that the start of the summer must be approaching. South Africa submit a new entry into their pantheon of great World Cup chokes. Wonder what Tony Greig was like as a bloke. Barney Ronay joins us to give the English perspective. Is Sam Curran good? Is the nation preparing for open bus tours? #AskTGC pontificates the 'champing' of Piers Morgan by Donald Trump.
