South Africa vs Australia: what went wrong? Australia led 1-0 and lost the series. Greg Blewett, Matthew Hayden and James Brayshaw pick through the toss, the day-five collapse for 111, Harmer's 6 for 16 and the half-hours that got away, with Hayden's take on Pat Cummins' press conference and why he says Marnus Labuschagne is "concreted into the team". Then they pick the best Australian batting line-up for the first Test against New Zealand in Perth and JB looks at the Shield numbers. Plus where have the teenage batting phenoms gone? Blewie on T20 and the national academy, and Hayden on "fast food" cricket and the boundary addiction. 🏏 Subscribe for more All Over Bar the Cricket 📱 Follow us on Instagram 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcastsWatch the show on YouTube www.youtube.com/@AllOverBarTheCricketInstagram https://www.instagram.com/alloverbarthecricketTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@alloverbarthecricketContact us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

No Test match talk this week, just a fireside chat while the boys are on a break. With Australia back in South Africa, the boys look back at the tours that shaped them. Hayden remembers meeting Nelson Mandela on the 1994 tour, his Test debut at the Wanderers, Merv Hughes taking on the crowd with a bat, and the story of a heated Cape Town Test that ended with a pistol in the dressing room, as told by Haydos. Blewie relives his 1997 double century and the infamous bus trip to Sun City, and JB tells the story of his very short retirement negotiation and the “can I have your pads?” moment.Weekly episodes return in two weeks as we gear up for a massive summer.🏏 Subscribe for more All Over Bar the Cricket 📱 Follow us on Instagram 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcastsWatch the show on YouTube www.youtube.com/@AllOverBarTheCricketInstagram https://www.instagram.com/alloverbarthecricketTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@alloverbarthecricketContact us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

The boys are back and joined by respected cricket journalist Peter Lalor, days out from departing for his sixth-straight Test series in South Africa. Lalor calls Nick Maddinson's shock recall to the Test squad "the most astounding selection decision" he's seen in his career and Matt Hayden isn't holding back either, accusing Australian cricket of "piling up this dog sh*t explanation" for why in-form domestic players keep missing out. We dig into Marnus Labuschagne's ongoing form crisis, the chaos engulfing Cricket Australia under interim chair David Boone, and what a famously hostile South African reception has in store for the touring Australians.🏏 Subscribe for more All Over Bar the Cricket 📱 Follow us on Instagram 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcastsWatch the show on YouTube www.youtube.com/@AllOverBarTheCricketInstagram https://www.instagram.com/alloverbarthecricketTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@alloverbarthecricketContact us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
