I would go so far as to say that if you haven’t bought a copy of the book for your cat, you’re teetering dangerously close to animal cruelty.

I mean - obviously one will fall out of the top 50 now, replaced by this one. But it’s still a solid top 49.

Not sure why everybody’s saying Boland will replace Cummins for the first #Ashes Test when, as we revealed exclusively in this podcast, Boland played Australia’s most recent Test.

In fact, Nathan Lyon will replace Cummins.

Duckstradamus is on fire with insighful predictions. Chance of a Kohli duck tonight?

"11% chance of a Kohli duck. (I’ll revise down quickly once he gets off the mark.)"

Kohli’s pulls off a sharp catch at square leg, but every closeup shows a face of pure despair. I guess he knows another duck’s coming his way. Although that’s not a certainty.

Maybe today, it won’t happen.

Maybe Rohit and Gill will bat 50 overs.

That fumble on the boundary was 4.

It's one of the most basic laws of cricket - if a fielder's penis is in contact with the ball while his toe touches the rope, it's 4.

Mitch Marsh expects to be “six beers deep” by lunch on day 1 of the #Ashes.

Does that make him more or less likely to open for Australia?

The 2nd best Hitchcock movie according to our listeners is Psycho from 1960.

On our rewatch of Psycho, we discuss its status as a Christmas movie, succumbing to basic opinions and the overratedness or otherwise of the shower scene.
