We brand- Concentrate ... fucking be ready to run, mate This and he goes- Where'd the good cricket team, the great cricket team- That's still my wife. I was laughing.

I think I speak for everyone when I say when does the IPL start again? As we head deep into the off-season of T20 cricket, having just had five months of it, we lament the return of the purest expression of the sport and think about ways of jazzing it up a bit, perhaps with a different ball when it's dark. There's England and New Zealand, Australia and Pakistan, BBL privatization, and a dash of 100 AI slop. Mitchell Santner is on the show to discuss Kiwi nightclub bouncers, two-faced coaches, and how to get away with chucking it. Phil Walker is on the show to tell us how the nation feels about this team, and if or when the fans may start to start sharpening their knives and are fixing bayonets. On the plus side, it may also be extremely fun. So here we go. Test cricket is back for now. The thing we actually like is back for now, and your favorite show is back for always. Sam Perry, thank fuck that's over.

Ah. Great to be back, here goes. Uh, not for me, just to start on a note of disagreement. Um, there's a, there's now a midnight to 4:00 AM shaped hole in my life- Yeah ... where I consumed every single ball of the Indian Premier League. Uh, "Sam, will you please get some sleep?" says my wife. "Babe, babe, it's time for Virat and the kid," I would say. You gotta sit... No, I agree.
