It’s Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, as last week, George Hirst gets overlooked for a story that catches our eye first. We are not going to Switzerland to play ice cricket, but we are considering the world champions you've never heard of, and the worst day of Sachin's career.

Australia England Daily, 1st ODI, Perth: On a rugged day for Australian cricket as the Test team conflict continues, the one-day side offered a brief and fresh breath of air. Mahli, Xavier, Spencer: would have been an unlikely Aussie pace trio once upon a time, but that's the new breed. England returned to Perth to find it as fast and bouncy as it was during their Ashes trip.

Season 21, Episode 8: We're trying something new - this was a live-streamed live response to Pat Cummins extraordinary 70-minute till-they-drop press conference, which began with a potent repudiation of Usman Khawaja's version of the 2018 South Africa tour, and grew in nuance to include a lot of appreciation for other parts of Khawaja's contributions. Our chat is rough around the edges, but here it is.

Season 21, Episode 7: Before a single extract of Usman Khawaja’s book made the papers, the headlines lapped the world - they all knew. But what did they know? The details emerge, bit by bit. The response set to follow, from those implicated, is now fascinating. How exactly does this end? After this, some glorious Test cricket moments to warm the soul, an organised England squad, an Indian champion quick retires while Jimmy looks to the city lights to keep his career burning.

Shownotes
Occasionally on tours, you get the chance to do something special and different. Playing a game with media colleagues from Australia against coaches and participants of the amazing CATCH Trust, formerly the Gary Kirsten Foundation, in the enormous township of Khayelitsha proved to be just that. An organisation doing remarkable things to make cricket part of young people’s lives where otherwise it wouldn’t be; we learn how it works and why it is transformational.
On this episode we speak to Managing Director Tim Human, cricketers Lisakhanya Blom andSomila Stofile, board trustee Madoda Mahlutshana, and coach Lusindiso Malilwana.

It’s Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, we didn't know that this would become an Adelaide Oval special, but that's how things have panned out. A glorious visitor makes the ground home, a forgotten classic renews a modern rivalry, and a much-criticised umpiring call was in fact correct.

Season 21, Episode 5: With Adam back at Lord's for a day of recording, it's time to start with South Africa's clearing path to the WTC final in the context of current world cricket. Bangladesh have blown a huge opportunity against West Indies, India need all the points against New Zealand, and Australia's path is getting tougher. Is there pressure on McDonald or Bailey? Meanwhile, the next rank of Shield batters make their case, the white-ball squads look to the future, and CA can't decide if they have a lot of money or not enough.

Season 21, Episode 4: It was the cricketing day we've dreaded most, though we knew it had to arrive some day. Glenn Maxwell's time in the green and gold, and in Victorian blue, will come to an end. The career that more than any has fascinated and delighted The Final Word. Don't be sad that it's over, be glad that it happened, but today we're sharing a smile and a tear. Glenn joins Adam and Geoff to share the news.

South Africa Australia Daily, 3rd Test, Cape Town Day 6: Heads have to roll, right? After Australia's batting got ripped to pieces two Tests running, nobody can argue that the problems were not evident. Yet they were not addressed by those in charge. What can be done with this team from here to address issues of structure and of succession, for the huge 10-Test burst that comes up next? To end our series coverage, Adam and Geoff run through the issues.

South Africa Australia Daily, 3rd Test, Cape Town Day 3: The hits just keep on hitting. Each day of this Test has had a buffet on offer, and it hasn't been the bowling. Australia began with the slenderest of leads, and had to build something, then South Africa had their chance to respond. Bavuma grows in stature, Cummins excels without luck, and Lyon shows that he can still reach his best. Don't miss the rest of this one.

South Africa Australia Daily, 2nd Test, Gqeberha Day 4: It may be the tipping point for some careers to end in the Australian top order, as only Travis Head was able to make a score of note against the world-class bowling of the South Africans, with Marco Jansen backing up his batting with five wickets. Australia still has a way out, but can they resist the South African attack? Bharat Sundaresan joins Adam Collins at St George's Park in Gqeberha.

It’s Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, a few listeners have been hanging out for Bharat to come back on the show, but it's been a while. This week, he tells two stories designed for him to tell, both involving icons of the 1980s. Also, another Bharat-linked tale going all the way back to Bodyline, and fate delivering for the English captain who most deserved to be whacked in the nuts.

South Africa Australia Daily, 1st Test, Durban Day 6: Time to look back. This was one of the more significant engagements for Australia for a while, and a match that could have gone so badly wrong ended up going very strongly right. How much of that is built on solid foundations, and what needs ongoing repair? Also, why did South Africa choose to start their series on a ground where they always lose and where nobody can see? Bharat Sundaresan joins Geoff Lemon for the burning questions.
