A week is a long time in sport, and apparently not long enough to figure out what to do next. The Stokes Atkinson curfew saga continues into a second week as England's second test squad is announced with a raft of changes. Can New Zealand do anything this week at the Oval? Barney Ronay is on the show from America to preview the second test, and possibly the match against Croatia. The Women's World Cup has begun, and everyone you'd expect to win has won, but it remains the most open World Cup in years, and that is perhaps the greatest insult to Australia since the '90s. Speaking of which, Bangladesh claimed their first ever ODI series victory against a hapless Australian third 11. But we do get a look in at Cooper Connolly, 149 in game three, and that's just about good enough for a nation that's more focused on Aaron Kunder than Labuschagne. Alex Malcolm is on the show to give us the lowdown on BBL privatization meetings overnight, and possibly preview the Socceroos match against the US. Ask TGC a bit of Suryavanshi push and shove, and Kane Williamson, of course, retires. Another bumper episode of TGC this week, Pezer. Um, lots happening around the world, but this is the real stuff. This is the cricket show, uh, which was a show, um, on Channel Nine in Australia in the '90s, and this is a separate version of that. Um, but, uh- That was a wonderful show It was a good show. It was a good show with good people.
