The fast-paced South Australian sport podcast featuring Tom Rehn and Ben Hook.
Named "Strike Me Pink" in honour of SA media giant Ken KG Cunningham, Rehnny and Hooky will share their insights and expertise on SA sport, all timed to wrap up inside the traditional Adelaide 20-minurte commute.
The week Tom and Hooky record early ahead of the deciding Test between Australia and South Africa. The pair assess Australia's hopes, and the possibility the curtain comes down on a significant era for Australian cricket.
The pair have their say on the least LIV news, with LIV officials remaining bullish despite mass player departures.
And the Australian Diamonds coach is under renewed pressure to hold her role ahead of a World Cup year next year. Hooky identifies the obvious replacement.

Inside My Head
Rehny and Hooky discuss the remarkable revelations out of the Geelong Football Club of a player required to assume all legal risk for a concussion. The hone in on the role of current AFL Commission Chairman Craig Drummond, who was President of the Cats at the time the deal was struck. Can Drummond oversee an investigation into himself, or will the AFL attempt to shut it down? Early indications are the AFL is keen to clear itself of any wrongdoing.
With the spotlight on AFL House, the pair weigh up the contribution from footy boss Greg Swann. Rehnny is prepared to give him more time, Hooky reckons the league was better off when Laura Kane was in charge.
They cast an eye over the latest news out of LIV Golf, with hope remaining it will return to Adelaide in 2027. But the boys still have plenty of questions about what it will actually look like, and how many stars will stay with the embattled league.
The show wraps with some Stock Exchange, the Three Word Verdict, Hooky's Local Sport Minute and the Monday Headline.
