In the first episode of his brand-new cricket show on Prime Video, Watto and Ollie Silverton dive into the biggest stories shaping Australian and world cricket — from Australia’s tour of South Africa, England’s new coaching and captain setup and of course India’s current series against the West Indies.

Plus, Watto is joined by one of Australian cricket’s greatest fast bowlers and one of the game’s biggest characters — Brett Lee. They dissect his career, injuries, pressure, bowling at 160km/h, World Cups, music, dressing-room stories and life after cricket.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE:

🇦🇺 Australia’s form across all three formats

Why have Australia struggled to consistently beat South Africa in bilateral ODIs? And what can we make of the reliance on Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh?

⭐ The next generation

Cooper Connolly, Nathan Ellis, Matt Renshaw, Todd Murphy, Nathan McSweeney and more — who are putting their hands up for Australia’s future?

🇧🇩 Bangladesh make history

Australia suffered a stunning Test defeat in Darwin as Bangladesh claimed their first-ever Test win on Australian soil. Watto reflects on the upset and asks whether Australia’s current Test side is vulnerable.

🏏 The Marnus Labuschagne conundrum

Is there still a place for Marnus in Australia’s Test side, and are selectors sticking with him because nobody outside the current team is doing enough to force their way in?

⚡BRETT LEE

One of Australia's fastest-ever bowlers joins Watto to talk about his career, injuries, pressure, playing at 160km/h, World Cups, South Africa, the 438 game, music, dressing-room stories and life after cricket.

And there’s plenty more, including fan questions, Jimmy Anderson memories and Watto’s prediction for the first Australia v South Africa Test match.

🇿🇦 South Africa vs Australia

The two best teams in the current World Test Championship cycle meet again — with the WTC Final still fresh in the memory and the added history of Sandpapergate. Watto also picks his combined Australia–South Africa XI, tells us why he is worried about England and shares his thoughts on the form of the current Indian side.

🧠 Watto’s Mindset

What changed for Travis Head? Watto breaks down the mental shift that transformed Head into one of the most destructive batters in world cricket.
