Australia wins, but who was watching?

The episode begins with hosts Adam Collins and Geoff Lemon reflecting on the recent T20 World Cup final. Though Australia secured victory, the atmosphere was dampened by low crowd attendance. The pair discuss England's efforts against Mexico in the FIFA World Cup, sharing insights into the communal experience of watching international sports. They explore coverage issues surrounding women's cricket, with a particular focus on the lack of media attention for Australia’s women at the World Cup. This leads to a broader discussion about Cricket Australia's governance and the challenges of privatization.

Amidst the chaos in Pakistan cricket, the hosts highlight the appointment of Babar Azam as captain again, despite a poor record. They analyze Pakistan's recent squad selections and the implications of their mismanagement, particularly the absence of key players like Shaheen Afridi. They conclude with commentary on the ongoing West Indies vs Sri Lanka test match, the future of India in the World Test Championship, and the implications of rising salaries influenced by competitions like the SA20 and the potential for a T20 Champions League.
