Australian Test Squad REACTION and GREG CHAPPELL Tribute to SIR GARFIELD SOBERS – The New Ball
Tom Morris and Bharat Sundaresan preview the squad for the first Test against Bangladesh in Darwin. They debate their preferred XI, including whether Cam Green or Josh Inglis should bat at five and if Boland or Hazlewood should play.
Legend Greg Chappell joins the show to pay tribute to the late, great Sir Garfield Sobers. Chappell shares incredible stories of Sobers’ genius, his generosity, and the personal tragedy that drove him. He also discusses the changing landscape of coaching, the search for England’s next Test coach, and how Australia can avoid a decline when its current stars retire.
