'Tibby' Cotter – Part 1 – Max Bonnell

If cricket fans know one thing about Albert 'Tibby' Cotter, it's likely to be that he was the only Australian Test cricketer to have died in combat during the First World War. But as his biographer Max Bonnell explains, there was much more to the life and career of the Australian fast bowler. In Part 1, Max details Tibby's early life, his rise to international fame, his habit of bowling short-pitched deliveries to the English, and his rather unorthodox bowling action.

ABOUT MAX BONNELL:

Max is a lawyer and writer from Sydney. He has published around 20 books on sports history and legal topics. He played grade cricket for about 20 years for Western Suburbs and Sydney University, plus a season in the Birmingham League.

Episode 5 - Wickets with Stuart MacGill and Jack Sharp: It’s our Anniversary, Slow Overs - Red Card and Tillie Fever

Stuey MacGill and Sharpy hold the fort for the fifth anniversary of wickets. Yep that’s 5 episodes in a row, without suspension. It’s World Cup fever in Australia right now, so where do we start? Today the guys discuss the pace of the game, or lack of it. Too slow? Red cards are on the … mmm cards. Around the world, in a lot less than 80 days because there isn’t much cricket going on, but we’ll update you on the not so epic matches that are in play. Including an epic scrabble championship in Las Vegas, and we quickly pivot to Tillie Fever which has swept the country.

Episode 4 - Wickets with Stuart MacGill, Shane Lee and Jack Sharp: Village Cricket, The Future of Test Cricket, Who Got The Bonus Cash for the 6's, Lee Leaves

Uncle Stu (for this week), Shane, and Sharpy are back to move around the crease for 4 mins a rant.

With the Ashes over, the boys turn their attention to village cricket, but can't help but reflect on the series. 4 years from now, the team reflect on the fact that nearly everyone is going to be... too old for another series. So, with that, the guys debate the future of Test Cricket. 4-day test matches? Not our our watch.

We are back. Well, some of us. Stu MacGill, Jack Sharp, and former Australian Lacrosse player, DJ and Umpire - Josh Beagley. Shane Lee has omitted himself with illness.

In this episode we chat about the Aussies retaining the Ashes. Boo Hoo, it rained. That's pretty normal in Manchester, in England, well pretty much everywhere. It's happened before and it will happen again. Fact is, it's 2-1.

Sharpie chats about beating England, Stuey talks about his Welsh heritage and his love for beating the 'colonials masters', and Josh chimes in with ... you'll have to listen.
