220. Burning For Love

The Grade Cricketer ·

2022/11/28

Isn’t it beautiful when blokes just care? Once again our golden generation bails us out of cricketing dystopia in ways “everyday” Australians understand. Forget our systemic sleepwalk into decline, what we really want to know is: who is the alpha? The answer is neither Cummins nor JL, and may surprise you. Elsewhere, blokes continue the eternal quest for social capital, but this time they’re thieving real capital (allegedly), according to Victoria Police. In the old days, focused work on the chest

WASIM AKRAM

The Grade Cricketer ·

2022/11/24

A special day in the annals of TGC as we sit down with an all-time great: Wasim Akram. The man of such prodigious and electrifying cricketing ability spends just over 30 minutes with us and we cover some ground: being spotted in the streets, circuiting with Imran, playing in England, hooping it, partying, addiction, and much more. The chat coincides with the release of his memoir: Sultan. Wasim teamed up with Gideon Haigh to produce it, and it’s a tome befitting the stature of the man. It’s

FAF DU PLESSIS

The Grade Cricketer ·

2022/11/22

TGC lands another white whale, without question, the one with the best obliques and leanest body mass. Faf du Plessis joins us to discuss nearly every sordid and amazing achievement of his glittering career. From being told to sit in a bathtub from his idol, Daryl Cullinan, to taking us into the showers of the Durban dressing rooms during Sandpaper-gate, Faf bares all for TGC. We hear stories of Australian abuse, second only to Brendan McCullum's New Zealand apparently, playing with AB de Villiers

219. Symphony of A Run Out, with Glenn Maxwell

The Grade Cricketer ·

2022/11/22

We start this week with a full dissection of a run out at the non-striker's end in sub-district cricket in Melbourne. Australia have won an ODI series against Drunk England 3s, but is the team winning HARD enough? Steve Smith has found his hands again, though not the captain's armband. Dave Warner's leadership ban is set to be lifted and the WBBL is getting into the business end, but do we like the helmets? Suryakumar Yadav is doing some absolutely wild stuff in New Zealand, not that Virat Kohli saw

217. It's Park Cricket, Mate, with Ed Cowan & Barney...

The Grade Cricketer ·

2022/11/07

They're calling it the best World Cup ever but Australia is out and no one cares about it anyway.... unless you like T20 in which case it is absolutely sensational. Australia is out of the tournament, so what does this mean for the future of the sport in this country. Ed Cowan helps us out with these big issues and also signals that the start of the summer must be approaching. South Africa submit a new entry into their pantheon of great World Cup chokes. Wonder what Tony Greig was like as a bloke

216. Rainy Season

The Grade Cricketer ·

2022/11/01

The World Cup is absolutely ruthless and so is the weather. It's all to play for as we head into the second week of round fixtures. Do New Zealand have a loss in them? Can Australia overturn their NRR? How did England lose to Ireland? South Africa is doing something good and Pakistan is out. Far Du Plessis describes the culture of the dressing room when he first started playing and we discuss a few eye-catching quotes from Tim Paine's new book too. #AskTGC asks what's going on with MyCricket and

NATIONAL LIVE SHOW TOUR - AUSTRALIA

The Grade Cricketer ·

2022/10/26

ANNOUNCING OUR NATIONAL LIVE SHOW TOUR We’re live and in the flesh for the first time in three years, returning to the stage for a national tour accompanying the most hotly-anticipated double Test series specifically involving both the West Indies and South Africa in recent memory. Fresh(ish) from our sometimes-chart-topping podcast (charts mean nothing), adoption of paywalled content, and selling out to India, we’re once again hitting the road again to bring you a live show with stories you won’t

ADAM ZAMPA

The Grade Cricketer ·

2022/10/21

Recorded from a bed at a 1 star hotel in an undisclosed location, Australia's Adam Zampa joins us 24 hours before The World Cup proper begins at the SCG. We cover friendship, sportswashing, leadership, June, match-ups, and most importantly, the importance of the "Get Rarer" movement, crystallised by the donning of lids on lids. Incidentally, should you wish to partake in the movement, the ZAMPA x TGC merch collab is available at gradecricketer.com/shopSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

2022/10/19

We're joined by ornament to the game, Harsha Bhogle, for a one hour, feature-length interview. We wanted it reverent, he wanted irreverence, so we found a middle ground. We traversed the Asian Century, new and old India, run-outs, the future of cricket, Axar Patel's relationship with the stumps, great lines in commentary, birds, blokes bowling in black belts, Kohli clickbait stuff, whether or not we're allowed to come to his house (and why), and several other matters of debatable importance.

214. World Cup Fever, with Reece Topley

The Grade Cricketer ·

2022/10/16

The World Cup is finally here and TGC kicks it off with possibly the loosest show since the last World Cup. Who are the favourites? Is Che La Luna the song of the summer? Will Warner ever captain again? Can Western Australia go all the way after their win over India? What's New Zealand up to? Bharat Sundaresan makes his TGC debut from a seedy hotel in Hobart to give us his insights into his net-relationship with Steve Smith and Reece Topley lets us know of his love affair with Australia, mullets,

ELLYSE PERRY

2022/09/28

National and global cricketing icon, Ellyse Perry joins us for a special interview direct from TGC HQ, aka Higgos’ apartment. Arguably Australia’s greatest ever Womens cricketer, Pez generously fields questions on important matters: like her what’s app messages, her defensive positioning for the Matildas, horses, and whether or not she agreed to this interview for image and brand purposes only. Of course, in-between, she speaks with customary eloquence about her career, the growth of womens cricket,

The Grade Cricketer ·

2022/09/27

Mankads, mankads, mankads. How do they make us feel? Is that relevant? Should you just stay behind the line or is that too simplified an argument? Is this the new normal? Who owns cricket? Is any of this funny? We discuss it all after the Charlie Dean and Deepti Sharma 'incident' at Lord's. In better news, TGC is back on stage in Melbourne on November 2 and we want you to come along. In even better news still, Cam Green is 2m and Australia's most exciting T20 talent.... that's not in the World Cup

September is here and that means that your dreams are about to die.... again. The Road Safety World Series is here and we're cooing about Sachin sitting in 1A while Watto's stable base makes us feel like Australia should win this meaningless tournament. Tim David will debut for Australia this week after he gives us some serious ASMR in the nets. Ben Horne is on the show to discuss another rival Indian league popping up to take away international cricket's best players. England are in Pakistan for

Old-school this week as we pour over some real grade cricket gear both on-field and online, Australia wins some ODIs as Finch offers some, but not all, blood, England's turnaround continues as Stuart Broad gets access to "the conversation" with Pidge, Sri Lanka wins the Asia Cup but that pales in comparison to Kohli minnow runs, #AskTGC is about champing, parenthood and George Orwell.

The Grade Cricketer ·

2022/09/05

Let's be honest, literally no one cares about Australia's series win against Zimbabwe in Townsville. We're all here to get around the Zimbabweans for their historic achievements. We get 5/10 hero Ryan Burl on a zoom in between net sessions to talk about the circuit, the casino, the showers, the kit and what the Aussies are like as blokes. Chris Lynn also talks to us while waiting fir his UberEats to arrive about the future of cricket and how many different training shirts he must have. Across the
