Cricket Australia will push on with privatisation starting with the Renegades so Corbin and Ed have PLENTY to discuss. Mike Baird and Todd Greenberg fronted the media last week spruiking the sale despite strong opposition, so here's everything you need to know.

The test squad for South Africa has three names on it that the boys are keen to discuss - Labuschagne, Neser and Connolly. Corbin and Ed think it's clear from George Bailey's comments that Marnus is on his last chance and Cooper Connolly is the future but question why Michael Neser is included as a back up instead of a younger option.
Plus there's news around the BBL stand off which now includes a possible tax on states that don't privatise, Australia A's tour to India getting in the way of the Shield season and Pakistan doing Pakistan things.

After another lean series from Marnus Labuschagne, Ed Cowan is wondering whether he has 'boiled the frog slowly' by continuing to tinker with his batting set-up while still not making runs. Corbin and Ed discuss whether he should be on the plane to South Africa in October and if he's not, who is? They each put forward their XI for the first Test of that series. 
Another two day Test match has people talking about the pitch but is it the deck that needs to improve or those playing on it? Plus both Corbin and Ed both have incredible stories about sitting next to Ricky Ponting on a plane.
