Show notes
The Australian Men's Test Captain fronted dozens of reporters in Sydney this morning, offering to answer any and all questions about the 2018 Sandpapergate Scandal and Usman Khawaja's recent revelations.
In a 70 minute Q&A which some are labelling the most significant press conference since the scandal itself, Cummins began with confronting Khawaja's allegations, before whipping through dozens of questions so that he "doesn't have to ever speak about it again."

Show notes
Usman Khawaja’s revelatory comments about "Sandpapergate" over the weekend dragged cricket back to 2018, reigniting fierce debate over who truly knew what was happening and whether the right people were punished. But his statements have also sparked a fresh question: why choose to speak out now?
Brett Sprigg and Trent Copeland unpack the fallout, analyzing Khawaja’s motivations, while Trent offers firsthand insight into the ball-maintenance practices he's observed in the Sheffield Shield over the years.
Plus, Marnus Labuschagne has officially been dropped for the upcoming New Zealand series, with head coach Andrew McDonald making it clear that Labuschagne will not be considered for selection.

Show notes
On a day when Australia might have hoped to wrap up the series, Ryan Rickelton and Wiaan Mulder both scored centuries to leave the Test match in the balance.
Australia's bowlers toiled away and were gifted a late breakthrough when Mulder contrived to leave Rickelton stranded an over after he'd brought up his 100. The latter told Ben Cameron in no uncertain terms what he thought!
It's set up a gripping finale with Australia setting out on Day 5 needing 288 to win the test, the series and retain the number one sport in the world.

Show notes
Josh Inglis' second Test century and a late wicket from Nathan Lyon have put the Australians within touching distance of winning the 3rd Test and taking the series against South Africa.
Inglis (102) and Alex Carey (80) took Australia to 429 all out, a lead of exactly 100. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood then ensured South Africa were already three wickets down before reaching parity, but arguably the key moment of the day was Nathan Lyon castling South African captain Temba Bavuma for the second time this Test in the penultimate over of the day.
The Proteas have a slim 40 run lead with just six second wickets remaining heading into day four.

Australia are on top and in the lead at the end of Day 2 at Newlands thanks to half centuries from Matt Renshaw, Cameron Green, and unbeaten half centuries from Josh Inglis and Alex Carey.
The visitors finished the day 4/330, a one run lead over South Africa in the first innings.
The news was not so good for Marnus Labuschagne with the Australian number three setting an unwanted record for most innings by an Australian top four batter without a Test century at 48. Labuschagne fell for a five-ball-duck in Cape Town.

Show notes
Six wickets from Mitchell Starc has saved Australia's blushes after a bizarre decision to bowl first on a flat deck at Newlands.
The left-arm quick destroyed South Africa' lower order with the second new ball to roll the hosts for 329, a terrific effort after South Africa raced to 0/140 at lunch. The Proteas were unable to capitalise on half centuries from Marcus Ackerman, Aiden Markram, David Bedingham and Marco Jansen, with loose shots keeping the Australians in the game.
Earlier, the visitors made four changes to their line-up with Cameron Green, Josh Inglis, Cooper Connolly and Nathan Lyon replacing Nic Maddinson, Beau Webster, Scott Boland and an injured Steve Smith.

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.

Australia scrambled to 6/187 when bad light brought a premature end to the first day's play, thanks largely to an unbeaten half century partnership between Matt Renshaw and Pat Cummins.
Captain Cummins elected to bat first upon winning the toss, and pulled a surprise selection with Nic Maddinson picked to open the batting alongside Travis Head despite not not playing a first class game in 19 months as he overcame testicular cancer.
The Maddinson experiment failed, with the opener making a 33-ball duck, despite surviving a decision not to review by the South Africans when it appeared he should have been dismissed LBW.

Sorry what, are we losing one of our hosts to the Cricket Australia board? With Mike Baird stepping down after no longer having the support of Cricket NSW, Corbin chats to the guy who might replace him, Ed Cowan. We talk through the timeline, "the moment" of change for Baird, why "this is not an ideal situation" and the hope that this is a turning point.
Most importantly for the future of cricket in Australia, what does this mean for BBL privatisation and how crucial might the next month be before Baird officially departs?
There's also actual cricket happening in South Africa and at home so the boys eventually get to the on field action.

After another lean series from Marnus Labuschagne, Ed Cowan is wondering whether he has 'boiled the frog slowly' by continuing to tinker with his batting set-up while still not making runs.
