    If cricket is for sale, what do the players think?

    There's been plenty of chat about BBL privatisation so Cricketers Association CEO Paul Marsh joins Corbin to give us the perspective of those at the centre of the competition, the players. Marsh talks through the concerns of the playing group, a new MOU proposal, player payments and possible ownership of teams and the risk to the test schedule. Given Marsh now sits in the same chair that Cricket Australia Chief Executive Todd Greenberg did less than two years ago, there's an interesting dynamic at play in negotiations and you get a peek behind the curtain on today's episode.

    Inside the BBL privatisation stand off

    It’s complicated, discussed mostly behind closed doors and momentous for the future of Australian cricket, so who else would you want to chat through it all than Corbin & Ed. The band is back together and there’s one thing on everyone’s lips in Australian cricket – will Cricket Australia sell the eight Big Bash teams? The boys break down why the deadline passed with no formal decision yet, where each state is sitting, what the sticking points are, who would invest, what might be the motives for Indian cricket to buy teams and what's next. There’s also IPL success and setbacks for Aussies Cam Green, Cooper Connolly and more, David Warner’s DUI charge, a bunch of listener questions and some honest feedback from Ed about Corbin’s chats with George Bailey and Ryan Harris.

    Ryan Harris talks 'rhino rev ups', SACA glory and Australian coach aspirations

    It's been a wildly successful two seasons for Ryan Harris in his first head coaching role with South Australia and he sits down with Corbin to talk us through his journey, philosophy and dreams. From lifting training standards and teaching SA to win, to conversations with fringe players, to pitching the case for Liam Scott's baggy green - it's a remarkable insight into the new force in Australian domestic cricket. As well, we hear why Harris wants to coach the Australian test team one day, why T20 coaching isn't for him and how he adapted his personality to this new generation of players.

    A "proper" Sheffield Shield final sees SACA triumph and the Vics buckle

    "It was a classic", according to Corbin & Ed and it's hard to argue with that advertisement for long form Australian cricket with South Australia back to back Sheffield Shield champions for the first time in 124 seasons. The boys shower praise on the modern day legend that is Alex Carey and the whole SACA team, winning a game where they were behind for almost all of it. There's also debate whether higher honours are around the corner for Liam Scott and Nathan McAndrew, how the sub rule was implemented, the Junction Oval pitch and Victoria's capitulation. The IPL has produced runs galore to start, Pat Cummins went on a business podcast with some interesting quotes and there's listener questions to answer.

    Shield final confirmed but the season batting numbers are grim reading

    We know it will be Victoria vs South Australia in the Sheffield Shield final but the real question is, why have the runs been so hard to come by this season? Corbin and Ed dive into the top run scorers including thoughts on Konstas, Bancroft, Renshaw, Handscomb and the rest. There's also the NSW One Day Cup win and how it reflects on Greg Shipperd's sacking, The Hundred auctions and if that foreshadows what the Big Bash could morph into and some quirky cricket stories including a father son batting partnership for the ages.

    Reckoning with the depth of India's T20 dominance

    India thumped NZ to make T20 World Cup history and Corbin and Ed can't see anyone competing with them in the near future.  The boys break down their dominance and the strength of a system geared towards the shortest format of the game. The pair also cover New Zealand's struggles, how the World Cup might look in the future and what Australia's showing might mean for LA 2028 Olympic qualification, given the Kiwis performance. Elsewhere, Brendon McCullum has secured the ominous "full support of the board", the One Day Cup final hits Bellerive, Alyssa Healy goes out a winner and the final round of the Shield is a race between SA and QLD to meet Victoria in the final.
