2025/01/09

Australia have picked a 16-man squad for the land of left-arm spin that hints at, rather than heralds, a generational change. Louis Cameron and Andrew Ramsey consider the absence of Pat Cummins and whether Steve Smith instead of Travis Head was the right call to take the captaincy reins in Sri Lanka. Were Mitch Marsh and Glenn Maxwell unlucky? How about Peter Handscomb? Which of Sam Konstas, Nathan McSweeney and Josh Inglis will play? Have we forgotten how good Cameron Green is? We haven't forgotten

Andrew Ramsey delays his return from the MCG to his backpackers' hostel to join Louis Cameron after an extraordinary Boxing Day Test that had everything. Don Bradman thought he saw some big crowds. Pfffft, this Test has him covered. The biggest Test crowd ever? Probably. Is Bumrah better than Warnie? Maybe. Is he a shark? Hell yes. Melbourne real estate (and Rishabh Pant's inability to find it), sausages (and Yashasvi Jaiswal's ability to find those), snicko, Napoleonic Wars - all that's in here

On the eve of the Test match he has dominated for a decade, Mitch Starc joins the Unplayable Podcast. The chat with Starc begins at 3:15. Starc has been an absolute weapon with the pink cherry (66 wickets at an average of 18.71 back that up), but the left-arm quick doesn't buy into his own hype about the off-colour Kookaburra in day-night cricket.
