About this episode
Let's be honest, literally no one cares about Australia's series win against Zimbabwe in Townsville. We're all here to get around the Zimbabweans for their historic achievements. We get 5/10 hero Ryan Burl on a zoom in between net sessions to talk about the circuit, the casino, the showers, the kit and what the Aussies are like as blokes. Chris Lynn also talks to us while waiting fir his UberEats to arrive about the future of cricket and how many different training shirts he must have. Across the equator, Jonny Bairstow has broken his leg ahead of the 3rd and deciding Test against South Africa at The Oval. India and Pakistan are embroiled in the Asian Cup - a tournament that exists solely so these two teams can play each other as many times as possible. And we're here for it. #AskTGC asks what we are to do with an Overseas player that leaves the ground to chop his girlfriend. Huge news: TGC now has kit!
