We return for the clash of the Alpha nations to talk Qantas shares, post capitalism, Andrew Daddo, Ivan Milat, and Dele Alli. Adam Collins helpfully guides us through the cricket itself, and Merv delivers as Merv does. 

* Tea and No Sympathy will be out in the UK on June 7. 

** We do events now too. For all your bespoke club cricket entertainment needs in Australia or the UK, talk to us. 

Big thanks to Toby Shain for music and Julia Dowe for graphics.
