The Day After Australia's Worst Ever Defeat

The Day After Australia's Worst Ever Defeat17 aug24 min

Australia are reeling from their stunning nine-wicket defeat to Bangladesh in Darwin, but is it really the worst loss in Test history? Menners breaks down the fallout from the defeat, the pressure on Marnus Labuschagne and Jake Weatherald, and the selection questions facing Australia ahead of the second Test in Mackay. He also discusses Pat Cummins' frustration with the top order, Nathan Lyon's future, the need to regenerate the Australian side and whether Cooper Connolly could be part of the next generation. Plus, a look at why Bangladesh deserve more respect and a final word on Stuart Broad's failed Logies campaign.
