Out of our league
The Cricket Australia XI lasted three seasons in the domestic One-Day Cup competition.  From 18 matches, they won only twice, and finished bottom of the table in each of their three seasons. However, the squad has produced 7 Test players with Brendan Doggett the latest to receive a Baggy Green.  This episode looks back at those years with a seven-team tournament and speaks to those who were part of the inaugural CA XI squad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rose Bowl Bowl Off
"I'll be last. It'll be over by then. But little did I know that everybody else was going to miss."  Before the Super Over had been invented, tied T20 International matches were decided by a Bowl Off! It was cricket’s take on the penalty shootout, and it came with a heavy dose of scepticism, amusement and above all, confusion. This episode of Stories After Stumps takes you all the way back to 2006 and the players who were there for the first ever encounter between Australia and New Zealand in women’s T20Is and exactly what happened next when the scores were deadlocked after 20 overs each.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
