India completely dominate Australia in Perth and the knives are very much being sharpened. The meltdown has begun and the calls are growing louder and louder for the ‘old Australia’ to return. Has Australia lost its edge? Should we be harder? It’s been suggested that our boys get back to grade cricket, even if it’s 2’s or 3’s!! Glenn Maxwell joins the show to discuss the rollercoaster of playing cricket for Australia in this era. The scrutiny, the pressures, the highs and the lows. We also discuss the IPL auction, Phillip Hughes and how to play Bumrah. That’s before we get into Sheffield Shield, WBBL, New Zealand v England and Pakistan losing to Zimbabwe. It’s a hell of a start to a summer… though it doesn’t actually start until the next Test.

Australia humiliated. Can we get Australia off their meds? The system sucks. Who is going to be Australia's Roy Keane? Jasprit Bumrah is the best in the world.

Can't they just beat us normally? Vibes are high if you're an Indian player, fan or umpire. Jaiswal and Kohli batter Australia into submission.

Australia demoralised. What will Jaiswal name his dog? Are Australia falling apart all at the same time? How did the BCCI change the deck?

India ruin OUR day. Bumrah breathes fire with the red cake. Starc looked unplayable before Bumrah demolished Australia's top order looking even more unplayable. Confusion all-round. India crawl to 150 before Australia crumble in fading light.

There's a lot to like: veils of secrecy for net sessions, harsh climes inflicting injury and insult, Kohli spotted at "scans", KL Rahul genuflecting at Mineral Resources Park, Shami's revised salad, quicks licking their lips at the prospect of pace in Perth, and everything else. As long as blokes go big before Sunday's mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The Father of India aka The Bin Lid joins us from Perth for a polo uniformed radio "hit", before we jump into the BBL All-Stars recent series win over fully-fledged Pakistan, overseen by June who cast a watchful eye (is there any other way of casting an eye?) over Spencer Johnson, Matt Short, and Jake Fraser-McGurk. Will India be in Pakistan for the Champions Trophy? Wwwwwwwwoudn't have thought so. We've got WBBL, India 2/3s v South Africa, flying ant invasions, West Indies-England broadcast-driven results, Giuseppe Burns runs, and a hogpile of your AskTGCs.

In the absence of someone stripping down, donning Doc Martens and "bashing the door down", Australia selects a new toy in Nathan McSweeney. Can this sea turtle make it to water? The openers lobby is aghast, but what's the alternative? Elsewhere, 2s-3s didn't just lose to Pakistan, they were chested on their own turf. The format, therefore, is clearly dead. Cricket et al's Pete Lalor and Gideon Haigh join us for an in-depth chat on the state of media and the state of cricket, before we return with Lizelle Lee heroics and WBBL foot stuff. AskTGC is the typical maelstrom of witty sickos.

Sign up to Cricket et al to read Gideon, Pete and Pez for the best BGT print coverage you'll get this summer.
