LAZARUS RISING - EPISODE 55

Ted, Ethan, Navod and Peerson discuss how Australia managed to pick themselves up after an humiliating first two Tests and vanquish India on the most devilish pitch of the lot. We also debate where Nathan Lyon ranks in the pantheon of spinners and look ahead to the final Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium. 

Ted, Peerson and Ethan record an impromptu podcast to react to a remarkable finish to the 2nd Test between England and NZ. 

Ted, Peerson and Navod discuss how Australia swept their way to oblivion in the 2nd Test while Ashwin and Jadeja performed yet another masterclass. 

Ted, Ethan and our resident Premier cricketer, Om Satija, discuss Australia's capitulation in the first test and the reactions to it.  We ask whether Australian cricket is really in a position where we can afford to be ridiculing the views of figures such as Allan Border and whether we need to return to playing with a harder edge. Plus, was Head's dropping really the right call and what should the team be for Test 2. Finally, Om puts on his leg-spinners hat to discuss Todd Murphy and the greatness of the Indian spinners. 

Ted and Ethan discuss the drama-filled start of Australia's tour of India. We discuss the MYSTERY PITCH OF NAGPUR, the unveiling of Todd Murphy, the bluffing of Ravi Jadeja and Australia's inability to bat in India. Also, was dropping Head the right move? Plus, much more...

Ted, Ethan and Peerson return for another season of Cricket Central with a comprehensive round-up of 2022's cricketing action. We reflect on all the big stories and individual matches and performances which caught our eye. We also discuss "the m-word" much to Peerson's displeasure and sing the praises of Cam Green (also to Peerson's displeasure).  We debate who the best players were for each format and discuss which matches were the most enthralling. Finally, we ask who can lay claim to being the greatest cricketing country in the world.  THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!

Ted and Ethan discuss Australia's desperate fight against the clock to beat South Africa 3-0. Did Hazlewood just show Boland that he's still top dog? Do SA need to take lessons from Simon Harmer? Does the clean catch rule need to be clarified?

Ethan and Ted reflect on more Australian domination. Was Marnus out? Did SA try too much this innings? Could we possibly be getting sick of stunning Aussie batting?

Ted and Ethan are joined by Peerson from over in America to discuss Australia's triumphant bowling performance to beat South Africa at home for the first time since 2005.  Despite our suggestions, Peerson still claims that he doesn't fear the Aussies. 

Ted and Ethan discuss a day which began with a glimmer of hope for the visitors and ended with another dominant performance by a member of the increasingly deep Aussie batting order. We ask if Australia is on the brink of something very special.
