Hello, and welcome back to The Great Cricketer for IPL 2026. So much to talk about this week, Pezza. Suryavanshi running red hot. Cam Green, he's a disgrace. Mitchell Starc, he's a disgrace. In fact, any of the overseas players that we don't like, they're a disgrace, and we'll be hammering them hard here on this show. Pezza, welcome back for another season of IPL cricket.

Sam Hignett· Host1:07
I don't think so, no.
Ian Higgins· Host1:07
