How many times does this Aussie team need to hurt TGC? Don't they understand they're costing us downloads every time they win a session?

We sniff an ambush, but who's ambushing whom? Can't say, but there's something about South Africa that brings Australian cricket to a screeching halt.

Dreadful capitulation in Australia’s day of disaster | Day 4 | SA v AUS | Gqeberha Test

27 min

Nihilism: Nihilism is a philosophical stance asserting that life lacks inherent meaning, purpose, or objective value. Derived from the Latin word nihil (meaning "nothing"), it denies the existence of absolute moral truths, universal ethics, or intrinsic foundations for human knowledge.  TGC’s beach house fundraiser. One of the most bitter days in this teams journey. David fires up the Twitter account again.

The right kind of win, with Alex Malcolm

Credit where it's due or is Bailey kissed on the d**k? Matthew Renshaw is the greatest middle order batter has ever seen. Endless depth of Australian quicks.

AUSTRALIA WIN. AUSTRALIA WIN. AUSTRALIA WIN. And the thanks need to go to the former players who gave these guys the shove they needed to actually pull their socks up and give a damn for once!!! The day moved slow then fast thanks to career-best figures from Josh Hazlewood as he got the ball to reverse…somehow…in South Africa.

Renshaw, Australia create early tee time options | Day 4 | SA v AUS | Durban Test

34 min

Who’s winning? Sure, we don’t ask that in Test cricket. But if we were to ask it, which we are, then Australia is winning.  For the first time since the early 2000s, Australia’s batting looks good. Matt Renshaw looks good, he knows how to play the spinners and he knows how to get past 50. We don’t want to jinx it at all, but with 6 wickets Australia are definitely winning this Test match and the series and everything forever.

It’s Renshaw, it’s always been Renshaw but especially now with a Daddy hundred on foreign soil to turn the match around. So he’ll go ahead and join the back of the queue to bat at 5 for Australia.

37 min

It’s the same game we’ve watched from Australia in the last 10 years, we’re completely unhappy with the scoreline and we still wholeheartedly believe that Australia will take a three-figure first innings lead.

Bailey's really done it this time

1 hr 31 min

The sandpaper reduxes are running dry and it's almost time for Australia to return to South Africa for the first time since 2018.

Batting issues, Carse handcuffs, Jaiswal headbutt, with Greg Chappell

Is it the decks? Is it TikTok? Or is it just an inherent lack of ability rendering Test batters mostly useless in this country?

Disappointing and sensible, with Matt Roller

1 hr 50 min

Missionary works, especially for England. Their new appointments of Stephen Fleming and Joe Root are sensible but boring. Is Root just a placeholder until Harry Brooks' diet evolves past eating crayons. Is Stokes' potential move to the Sydney Sixers a sign he's not quite done with cricket yet and we hear from fans who actually enjoy the hundred. Matt Roller joins the show to chat England and the Hundred before AskTGC covers weak men and penalties for hitting the dog.  SUBSCRIBE TO TGC CLIPS  Sign up to TGCRaw and get access to the entire 300+ episode back catalogue of AskTGC Fridays  via Patreon or Apple Podcasts EXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/gradecricketer See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clicking at first slip, with Tom Holland

1 hr 53 min

Controversies abound at first slip as an entire country of grade cricketers ask "why didn't I think of that?" Meanwhile, England still have no idea who's going to lead their test team on the field or off the field as the north of England is SNUBBED from next year's Ashes schedule.  And we chat to esteemed historian Tom Holland from The Rest Is History to find out which wars offered the best batting decks and what Jesus would have thought about Bairstow's stumping.

The beers are undefeated, with Fin Taylor

Could this be the end of Captain Stokes? Also, this one simple trick will fix the wicket at Lord's (groundstaff hate it!!!).
