6/7/202635 min
One of the greatest figures in WA cricket, Adam Voges, joins Corbin this week to talk about the next chapter in his coaching journey and reflect on their recent dominance. Voges opens up on why he departed the state job but wanted to remain the Scorchers coach, where he thinks Cam Green's future lies in the Aussie test team, which of the WA youngsters will step up and how new coach Beau Casson differs from him.
With stints in Major League Cricket at the Seattle Orcas and The Hundred's Trent Rockets coming up, Voges outlines his intent to focus on T20 coaching and his aspirations for the future to prepare for international jobs that may come his way.
