Smith breaks the world record for catches in Tests as Australia take command in Durban

Joel takes the field in Rd 1 for the Colts and is super impressed with Matt Renshaw's big 190 in Australia's first innings in Durban.

Dave and Joel discuss Day 1 of the First Test between Australia and South Africa from Kingsmead Durban. Selection, Ton Watch and Joel's start to his 2026/7 Season are all discussed.

Dave and Joel discuss Australia's 16 man squad selection for the upcoming South African 3 Test tour.

Dave laments a 124 over Test typified by diminishing batsmanship. Order might be restored but "the order" seems very unsettled and needs alot of work! Commiserations to the people of Mackay and to all of the fans that came from far a wide to see more cricket than they got - we all deserved better. Well done CA for organising a great show but the main performers need to spice up the act a little!

Dave is rushed the the nearest Test venue immediately after Australia's loss in Darwin as Joel stays in Melbourne to prepare for his Junior Qualifying Footy Finals tomorrow. Is this our tallest X1 ever and never use a hotel kettle!!

Dave and Joel see a bright Green light at the end of the Tunnel after Australia's disastrous start to its 21 Test season.

We also introduce Bill Brown (former Australian opening batsman) to the show in our new segment - The Bill Brownlow Medal

Dave goes at it alone as Joel enjoys a well earned sleep in. We promise more of Joel and less Dave in tonight's Day 4 episode.
