Pete and Gid watch Australia dig right in at Newlands on a day of defiant and increasingly positive batting by Josh Inglis, Alex Carey, Matthew Renshaw and Cameron Green. But whither Marnus Labuschagne after another failure, and Steve Smith in his enigmatic absence? Also: scenery! Plus: a TGC podbombing….
Pete and Gid bear witness to a three-session Jane Saville Day - we’ll explain - with Australia almost out of it before they surged back into it thanks to Mitchell Starc and South Africa squandered a brilliant opening partnership. Also: Chris Tavare and david Warner, separated at birth?
Australia have a mountain to climb in Cape Town, and so do Pete and Gid, who ascend Table Mountain to produce the podcast from a record altitude. Then they return to the scene of the crime, recalling the events of 2018 from the same press conference location in which Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft tangled themselves in deception. What fate awaits Pat Cummins's Australians this time round? Only a day til we find out. Support Independent Journalism at Cricketetal.com Check out our YouTube Channel
Pete and Gid head off the beaten track to bring you highlights of their road trip on the Western Cape, starting in a tree and ending in a graveyard - South Africa’s first post office, the Bartolomeo Dias Maritime Museum, CP Roasters, Marloth Nature Reserve and Swellendam Cemetery Central - while occasionally touching on cricket and related matters. Includes a boot, a caravel and Pete’s expert handling of the selfie stick. Support Independent Journalism at Cricketetal.com Check out our YouTube Channel
Pete and Gid peer through the rain and clouds to see South Africa trounce Australia by an innings and 31 runs at St George's Park, with Kagiso Rabada eclipsing Steve Smith, Scott Boland impersonating Horatius on the bridge to no avail, and Pat Cummins equivocal about the future of the batting unit. To Capetown at one-all: what a prospect.
