46.Haydos Rips Into Australian Cricket's "Dog Sh*t" Excuses
The boys are back and joined by respected cricket journalist Peter Lalor, days out from departing for his sixth-straight Test series in South Africa.
Lalor calls Nick Maddinson's shock recall to the Test squad "the most astounding selection decision" he's seen in his career and Matt Hayden isn't holding back either, accusing Australian cricket of "piling up this dog sh*t explanation" for why in-form domestic players keep missing out.
We dig into Marnus Labuschagne's ongoing form crisis, the chaos engulfing Cricket Australia under interim chair David Boone, and what a famously hostile South African reception has in store for the touring Australians.

Justin Langer joins the show for the first time, fresh off winning the Hundred with the Manchester Super Giants. The boys get into the shortened Mackay Test and whether Australia should just prepare flatter pitches, before turning to the real issue at number three - Marnus Labuschagne's form drought and who might replace him ahead of a brutal tour of South Africa. JL also opens up on the toll of a career full of blows to the helmet, how routine brain scans used to be, and whether he'd have survived in today's concussion era. Plus, JB and JL revisit the night they were caught red-handed drinking Ricky Ponting's retirement Grange and the photo that gave the game away.

44. Australian Cricket Deserves Better Than This
Travis Head takes home the Allan Border Medal but the night itself has the boys embarrassed for the game.
They dig into how cricket's night of nights went from a room full of legends to an afterthought, and why the scheduling mess is bigger than one bad look.
Plus: the boys preview the Bangladesh test series and Stephen Fleming's appointment as England's new coach, Haydos tells the story of taking Ricky Ponting fishing on the Tiwi Islands, and a chicken infestation derails Haydos' garden.
