Episode Notes

Tour chaos, near-disasters, and the moments that quietly shape cricket careers.


Matthew Hayden is almost sent home from Sri Lanka, Damien Martyn takes on the monkeys, Greg Blewett gets left behind in The Hague on an Australian Under 19 tour and James Brayshaw reflects on Australian Under 19 pathways and why junior success rarely predicts who actually makes it.


Plus touring Sri Lanka, tournament pressure, T20 World Cup chat and the stories you never see on the highlight reel.
