The teenager redefining cricket and Ed's all time ODI World XI
6/1/202648 min
The IPL is done for another year and Josh Hazlewood and Tim David's RCB win back to back titles, but it's teen sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi who is the talk of the cricket world. Corbin & Ed marvel at the 15-year-old who won player of the tournament (and a car he can't even drive yet) and wonder how quickly India can find a spot for him in the national team. Plus, would the explosive game of the 'T20 Don Bradman' come off in test cricket?
As well, the ODI series against Pakistan starts with a loss, a Cricket Australia exec is shown the door and in the Big Bash - privatisation has gone quiet, the BBL16 opener in India gets the green light and Andrew Flintoff looks like the next Sydney Thunder coach. There's also listener questions galore including Ed naming his all time ODI World XI which doesn't include Tendulkar.
