Get access to the presale by signing up to our Patreon This English summer, England and India go toe-to-toe in a battle of imperial power, ownership, and who can cry more. That's right: England has Bazball, India has the ICC, Google has Lord’s, and The Oval is Mumbai's fortress. Should England cede its summer to the juggernaut of Indian cricket? Should it hand the game over to those who play, watch, and love it more than anyone else could fathom? Who better to mediate this existential crisis than two uninvited Australians who played mainly two's-three's?

It’s advantage Australia: in the women’s Ashes, culturally, and online via Damien Martyn. We catch up with Darcie Brown and Georgia Voll to talk about their inherent advantages and the Melbourne Test, and speak to Izzy Westbury about fitness, criticism, “the gap”, and Bath v China. In between we talk about Wisden’s Test team of the year, Tom Curran’s run out, and Mitch Owen’s explosion in the BBL Final. The men are playing a Test in Sri Lanka. We’ve seen the pitch, and all we can say is “well well well”. AskTGC closes it out as per. Buy Six Points Pale and a song here Get your TGC x Budgy Smuggler gear. Light Blue or Navy smugglers.

Australia win the Border-Gavaskar in Sydney thanks to a man named Barrel and a thing called Slug. It’s the perfect end to a summer of chaos, calmness, controversy, Konstas and karma. The numbers falling in front of our eyes are as mysterious and wonderful as figuring out what day it might be. We discuss India’s behaviour on and off the field, the lack of repercussions or leadership shown by anyone and what the future might look like for an Indian generation that failed to deliver as much as what it once promised. There’s also a complete sweep of the BBL, the Bancroft/Sams head clash, Dan Christian going from assistant coach to into the playing squad, the Test players returning (haha.. ok), the Stars winning 2 gams in a row and Hilton Cartwright hitting a 121m six. The women’s Ashes starts on Sunday, so Higgos ponders if it is indeed the most fulfilling dessert to a summer that has given us a main course to die for.
