The Grade Cricketer

Faf du Plessis joined TGC live and in the flesh ahead of the Cape Town Test with the stunning Table Mountain as the backdrop as the boys discuss towels, mints, the series thus far and a deep dive into what actually happened here in 2018. We also got a first hand look at his Proteas baggy cap.  And yes, he looked amazing. EXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/gradecricketerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Was this the worst loss under this Australian leadership? No, that was 3 tests ago in Darwin. Scott Boland is the greatest all rounder in test cricket history?

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. Jansen looks impossible to score off.  SUBSCRIBE TO OUR TGC CLIPS YOUTUBE CHANNEL HERE Sign up to TGCRaw and get access to the entire 300+ episode back catalogue of AskTGC Fridays via Patre...

South Africa balls deep in this match. Is it Australia’s time to park the bus? There is no win in this match for Australia. Temba Bavuma enters the crease facing a hat trick ball on day 1 and leaves the crease with his highest ever test score on day 3.  🌎 Find out if you could be paying less for your next hotel booking with PriceMice, the free browser extension from the creators of NordVPN.

A race against time for Australia. Hoff takes a rest with a stomach bug. Now that Renshaw has a WWI style moustache, he is allowed to take screamers in slip. Bavuma holds it together for South Africa. Batters caught in no mans land.

Australia wins and the world gives it crickets. Renshaw's 272 runs are just paper and the deepest aims of Australian cricket are to restore the warm hues of our childhood.

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. Can we expect to see more out of South Africa in the 2nd test or will this series fizzle out to a 3-0 win for Australia.

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.

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.

Don’t listen to what others are saying and don’t look at the lead of 139 runs at the end of Day 3. Australia are unders are we are filthy. Are South Africa’s batters feeling the effects of not playing Test cricket in about 120 months?  🌎 Find out if you could be paying less for your next hotel booking with PriceMice, the free browser extension from the creators of NordVPN.

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. Doesn’t matter, Mitch Marsh is probably going to take everyone’s spot by the end of the series anyway.

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. Meanwhile, Bailey bamboozles us with his latest Magic Eye trick. Maybe there's something there to see, we don't see it, but we've never been good with these things. 🌎 Find out if you could pay less for your next hotel booking with PriceMice, the free browser extension from the creators of NordVPN.

The sandpaper reduxes are running dry and it's almost time for Australia to return to South Africa for the first time since 2018. Australian's are never satisfied so even a 3-0 win may seem like a failure.  Marnus tons up in a 'low intensity' warm up game, Martin Guptill is playing Sydney test cricket and miraculously India and Pakistan are in the same group again for the ODI World Cup.  When co-owners disagree, Gravamen can assist.

Main podcast out tomorrow. In the meantime we sit down with Cricket Victoria CEO Nick Cummins to break down why they’re selling the Renegades, what fans stand to gain or lose, the threat of monopoly ownership, the changing economics of international and T20 cricket and what this all means for domestic cricket in Victoria.  SUBSCRIBE TO OUR TGC CLIPS YOUTUBE CHANNEL HERE Sign up to TGCRaw and get access to the entire 300+ episode back catalogue of AskTGC Fridays via Patreon or Apple PodcastsEXTRA HOUR of AskTGC EVERY WEEK: https://patreon.com/grad...
