The Cricket Australia XI lasted three seasons in the domestic One-Day Cup competition.  From 18 matches, they won only twice, and finished bottom of the table in each of their three seasons. However, the squad has produced 7 Test players with Brendan Doggett the latest to receive a Baggy Green.  This episode looks back at those years with a seven-team tournament and speaks to those who were part of the inaugural CA XI squad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 1997 Women's World Cup will forever be remembered for Belinda Clark's record-smashing 229 not out and the heaving Eden Gardens crowd for the final between Australia and New Zealand. But if you ask the players who were there, they remember the other stuff: Elephants at the ground, pop stars in the hotels, monkeys on the nets, luggage falling off the bus, missed flights, oppressive heat, torrential rain and Christmas abroad. This is the story of Australia's journey to the 1997 World Cup.   Leave feedback for the showSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For an extended period either side of the turn of the 21st century, Victoria and Queensland fought out the most intense rivalry in Australian domestic cricket. One of several boiling points between the sides was reached on the final day of the 2001 Sheffield Shield decider at the Gabba. With hosts Queensland stumbling in their fourth-innings run chase, their captain Stuart Law came to the middle, hoping to avoid a king pair.
