Empty Stands, Flat Pitches & the Maddinson Call | Beyond23 with Michael Clarke
Show notes
Michael Clarke doesn’t hold back on Nic Maddinson’s selection, the batting order, and whether selectors could lose their jobs if Australia lose in South Africa. Monty Panesar and Shreevats Goswami join Pup to break down day one in Durban, Marnus Labuschagne’s technique, empty stands at Kingsmead and more.
