Baz Finally Gone | Gardner in the Spotlight

They also discuss the off-field headlines surrounding Ash Gardner and the wider implications for professional sporting teams, before diving into the newly released Big Bash schedule, major ICC proposals that could reshape international cricket, and the latest news from around the cricket world.  Timecodes (01:00) Baz McCullum's exit headlines a huge week in cricket (02:10) Ash Gardner story and discussion on relationships in elite sport (13:40) Bazball is over: McCullum's departure and England's future (27:25) Big Bash schedule released: India opener, venues and Christmas cricket (42:55) ICC proposals that could reshape international cricket (57:30) World Club T20, tournament changes and future formats (59:20) Can't Let It Go: Stuart MacGill appeal, Sheffield Shield fixtures and England's miserable fortnight Cricket Unfiltered Merchandise is Here!
