Show Notes
Corbin and Ed unpack South Africa's emphatic innings victory over Australia in the second Test at St George's Park, where the Proteas roared back from 6/110 to hand Australia their second loss in four Tests. The boys dissect Australia's batting collapse — all out for 99 — the tactical missteps with the bouncer plan against the lower order, the glaring absence of Nathan Lyon, and Temba Bavuma's masterful hundred. They dive into the ongoing opening batsman conundrum, Marnus Labuschagne's 47-innings century drought, and what changes might come for the series decider in Cape Town. Plus: Harry Brook's record-breaking ODI double century and Sri Lanka's astonishing 430-run chase, the Aussie women's series win over New Zealand, a Sheffield Shield round-up, Sam Konstas staking his claim for a recall, and listener emails — including a heartfelt message from Dawn, and a Tasmanian holiday itinerary from Ed.
