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...

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.
