Welcome back to the podcast where research and knowledge are secondary to the ramblings of an old man whose one claim to fame is that one of the nicknames he carries is The Almanack.

On today’s episode of our podcast, our topics of conversation are:

The Socceroos stumble to another disappointment, this time a 0-0 draw against Saudi Arabia. We discuss where it leaves the team in World Cup qualifying.

The Wallabies have won two games on the bounce. Is the formula finally beginning to work?

Lucas Herbert held off Cameron Smith to win the most star studded NSW Open golf tournament in decades, while Rory McIlroy continues to win everything except the majors.

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson dance around each other for 8 rounds in the biggest farce... oh hang on, it's boxing...

And finally, why do the teams I support in American sports suck so much?

Welcome back to the podcast where research and knowledge are secondary to the ramblings of an old man and the occasional appearance of his teenage son.

The Women’s T20 World Cup has reached its conclusion with shocks aplenty, and a brand new holder of the Cup. We discuss the potential gains for women’s cricket around the world now that other nations apart from the so-called Big Three have forced their way into a World Cup final.

Tim Tszyu has had his lights knocked out in the US, and his career appears on the ropes, so to speak. We discuss the implications of the beating and his future.

Cricket upsets continued in the men’s game, with both England and India defeated in matches they were expected to dominate. We try not to gloat to much in discussing the matches in detail and what may result from those outcomes.

Then we head back home and discuss the second round of the Sheffield Shield, and what the results and the performances suggest for the season ahead in terms of Australia’s international summer.

And have you played golf on the xBox? Then you too may be ready to play in Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s brand new comp. We have a giggle at what has been announced today.

Finally, the international rugby league has begun, and after two interesting and engaging matches we look at whether it can be a boon for the game.

Welcome back to the podcast where research and knowledge are secondary to the ramblings of an old man and the occasional appearance of his teenage son.

On a cricket packed program, we firstly take a look at the Women’s T20 World Cup, where Australia has been dominated despite an increasing injury toll, and a favourite for the tournament has made a shock exit.

Secondly we talk about the farce that has become the Test series between Pakistan and England, and consider whether Pakistan are truly just trying to shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to cricket in their country, and whether or not they can find a way out.

Then we head back home and discuss the first round of the Sheffield Shield, and what the results and the performances suggest for the season ahead in terms of Australia’s international summer.

And on that, with Cameron Green gone for the summer, we discuss the possibilities when it comes to replacing him in the Test squad, and the various options that available and alive over the next month of cricket.

On today's bite-sized edition, we discuss the outcome of the NRL Grand Final, and the part that the Panthers junior system and regeneration has played in serving them up an amazing five straight Grand Final appearances and of course a fourth consecutive premiership. And after just three teams winning over the last ten years we discuss whether this is a good thing for rugby league as a whole.

We also discuss the Kangaroos team for the upcoming international series, and whether or not the changes made are in the best interests of the team.

We then move to the cricket season, with Pakistan hosting England in an enticing three Test series. We discuss the possibilities available. The Women's T20 World Cup is underway, and already with shock losses and umpiring decisions. We cast a glance at the early days of the tournament. And the Sheffield Shield is about to start, leading into the home Test summer. We look forward to that with glee.
