Pakistan SMASH Australia, Champions Trophy without India? plus McSweeney IN!
Description
In this episode of The CricBlog Podcast, Charbel Coorey (Australia fan) and Nash Sant (India fan) discuss Pakistan’s incredible 2-1 ODI series win in Australia. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah and Mohammad Hasnain were far too good for an Australian team that was well off the pace in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
We also look at the controversy around the 2025 Champions Trophy. India have reportedly made it clear they won’t be travelling to Pakistan. Should they be excluded from the tournament? Or would that be financial suicide?
We also touch on India vs South Africa T20I series, where the Proteas won the second T20I thanks to a fine bowling performance and excellent 47* by Tristan Stubbs. Did India get things wrong tactically there?
Plus, Nathan McSweeney has been confirmed as Australia’s Test opener! Is this the right call? Should Marcus Harris, Cameron Bancroft or Sam Konstas have been picked instead?
