Should Steve Smith be in the World Cup Squad, SCG Secrets and Cricket Myths That Are Frog Sh*t

Steve Smith in the World Cup squad, yes or no? The boys unpack Australia’s T20 loss to Pakistan, the Cooper Connolly selection puzzle (brilliant bowling, batting slump), and why Marley Beardman looks like a serious long-term quick.

More listener questions this week: favourite Australian Test grounds, the best state cricketers who never played for Australia, and cricket myths that are absolute frog-sh*t.

Also: a proper DRS argument (benefit of doubt, inconsistent tech like Hotspot, and why “umpire’s call” makes people lose their minds), plus helmets changing technique and scoring, and two horror dismissals to truly average bowlers.
