“I would hate it”: The possible BBL flow on of The Hundred’s Pakistan issue

As possible Pakistan player bans for Indian owned teams in The Hundred get debated in the UK, Corbin and Ed ponder the domino effect here in the BBL if the league is privatised. 

Speaking of the Big Bash, Sydney Thunder join their cross town rivals the Sixers in looking for a new coach for next season and the guys chat through the challenge of finding T20 coaches vs state cricket ones. Plus they aren't happy with the One Day Cup Final being moved leaving zero state cricket on this weekend.

The T20 World Cup Super Eights phase still has some “toss of the coin” games left with India and West Indies an unofficial quarter final and after Australia’s failure, Ed wouldn’t mind seeing a specialist T20 selector who can keep an eye across the international competitions and be locked into that format.

There's also the women's series against India and with the announcement of Darwin as the 12th test venue in Australia, expect a bonus quirky history lesson on the ground in Australia that no one remembers.

ABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is joined by Ed Cowan to bring you all the highlights and match analysis to keep you up to speed. The pair discuss the key players and big issues that are dominating the cricket agenda, the latest in live fixtures with a hit of cricket banter.
