The Grade Cricketer

Paul Kelly on Cricket, Sports Media, and Club Songs

India completely dominate Australia in Perth and the knives are very much being sharpened. The meltdown has begun and the calls are growing louder and louder for the ‘old Australia’ to return. Has Australia lost its edge? Should we be harder? It’s been suggested that our boys get back to grade cricket, even if it’s 2’s or 3’s!! Glenn Maxwell joins the show to discuss the rollercoaster of playing cricket for Australia in this era. The scrutiny, the pressures, the highs and the lows. We also discuss the IPL auction, Phillip Hughes and how to play Bumrah. That’s before we get into Sheffield Shield, WBBL, New Zealand v England and Pakistan losing to Zimbabwe. It’s a hell of a start to a summer… though it doesn’t actually start until the next Test.
