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.

The Kiwi's put on a genuine box-office performance against England at the Oval that has Matthew Hayden and Greg Blewett seriously worried about what's heading our way this summer. Four Tests against a Kiwi side with real bowling depth shapes up as one of the toughest series in years.

The Aussies complete a clean sweep of their own T20 series, but the boys aren't convinced. There's a real depth problem brewing ahead of a brutal stretch of cricket. Cooper Connolly continues to impress, and the debate rages over who opens alongside Travis Head in Test cricket.

Ben Stokes reinstated as England captain after breaking curfew sends the boys down memory lane to the worst curfew enforcement in Australian domestic cricket history.

Plus, Haydos new gig as owner-coach of an associate nation T20 franchise with no home ground, his European wine tour itinerary, and Blewy's three-legged dog drama back home in Adelaide.

The boys are back after a break

Hayden's Gujarat Titans made the IPL final, then Virat Kohli happened. He breaks down the campaign, the fruit bat lifestyle, and why 155 was never enough against the best white ball batter alive.

Blewett is back from seven weeks dry in Pakistan with a big call: Matt Renshaw is a lock for Australia's white ball future.

Plus a warning- Bangladesh's 21-year-old 150kph quick Nahid Rana is heading to our shores and nobody's talking about him yet.

And Cricket Victoria wants to dissolve the Renegades and Stars and sell a single franchise without telling Cricket Australia, the states, or the players' association. Crisis meetings everywhere.

Hayden explains why BBL privatisation is inevitable and JB wants to know whether Indian franchise owners will eventually decide when Australia gets a Boxing Day Test.

It's good to be back!
