Summer of Cricket Wrapup Special

After a long summer hiatus - government mandated, covid related and tension over killing the Patriots season fuelled - Luka, Alex and Artie have once again returned to deliver the most bias, unbiased, biased sports takes on Agendas Only! Covering all aspects of Australia’s dramatic 4-0 series win is their first prerogative, with rating each victorious Australian’s performance (1:00). Dominant series for the team, but making the case for individual credit and evaluating each player’s future prospects gets fierce; as longtime listeners know, the Cam Green discussion (11:25) is always a strong agenda debate. There’s no debate on this one - hear the boys laud the man with the hottest summer of recent memory in Scott Boland (25:00). Highlights and Headlines (29:58) allow the boys to discuss the best moments of the wider series - the Summer of Head, a Mitch Starc renaissance, if Usman is the future and just how bad this England team were are all talking points. Two very different outlooks post series for Australia and England, but hear the boys take a deep dive into the potential futures of both teams - what changes England must make to rebound from their lowest point (38:02) and how Australia can build on this for their 2022 tours to become the undisputed #1 Test nation again (46:52). Finally, the boys break down the biggest story in world cricket - Justin Langer as Australian coach - first debating his future and potential replacements before the sacking (53:12) and then reacting to the shock news of his “resignation” (1:03:30).
