Gideon Haigh and Pete Lalor have been writing about cricket, and talking about music, books, movies, television and life, for nearly fifteen years. Now they do it with a podcast recorder handy, which sometimes they remember to turn on. Stand by for a podcast full of insights and lacking in organisation.

What listeners will find here
Australia squeeze South Africa as Steve Smith rewrites the fielding record
Australia’s grip on day three at Kingsmead is the focus here, as South Africa are choked and neutralised in a hard-fought contest. Pete and Gid dig into the shared wickets, Steve Smith’s record-setting catching, and whether fading light could slow Australia’s push.
Renshaw’s 190 revives an old-school innings and Australia take charge
Matthew Renshaw’s 190 at Durban anchors an episode about patient red-ball batting and Australia’s control on day two. Pete and Gid dig into what a Test hundred after a ten-year gap means for the number five spot, plus the odd delight of batting with Nathan Lyon.
Boonie steps in as Cricket Australia wobbles and South Africa loom
Cricket Australia’s latest boardroom shake-up meets an on-field reality check as Pete and Gid unpack Mike Baird’s exit and David Boon’s temporary rise. They also weigh Australia’s dominant ODI run against South Africa and what it might mean before the Durban Test.
Australia’s edgy Kingsmead opener gets the full Pete-and-Gid treatment
Australia’s first day at Kingsmead is the focus here, with a tense, absorbing start to the three-Test series in South Africa. The episode zeroes in on Nic Maddinson’s duck, strong contributions from Matthew Renshaw and Pat Cummins, and what the rest of the side did with a bad-light finish.
Australia’s South Africa tour starts with selection talk and old tour memories
This episode looks ahead to Australia’s trip to South Africa, with Pete and Gid discussing Marnus, Cam Green, and the return of Nic Maddinson. It also mixes in memories of past South African tours before setting up Pete’s 2018 deep dive and the next stop in Durban.
