Louis Cameron

Um, I think it is worth, it would be remiss of us though not to just finish up in terms of Australia's second innings to, now do we think Matt Renshaw will definitely bat at number five?

At different stages, and I think as recently as, uh, earlier this month, Andrew McDonald in a piece for cricket.com with Louis Cameron, um, one of your good friends and, uh, played a couple of games for Victoria.

Mm-hmm.

Um, McDonald said, are we in a situation where, can we see it in the future, you play two different batting orders for a first innings and then a second innings-

My name is Josh Honafinger.

No Louis Cameron today, but we've b- joined by the one and only Bharat Sundaresan.

Thank you for filling in for Louis, Bharat.

How are you?

Josh Honafinger here coming to you from Durban.

No Louis Cameron on this episode, so I'm just gonna give you a quick little recap of what has been happening at Australia's training sessions as they prepare for that first test against South Africa in Durban.

Coming up on this episode, of course, is Matthew Renshaw.

Uh, I had a sit down chat with him earlier today, and we covered a lot of bases, including his return to the Australian setup through the white ball game, and also that fateful trip over here in 2018 when he was the replacement player after the Cape Town saga.

[laughs] All right.

Uh, Louis Cameron's in Durban.

He's been in Zimbabwe for the last week and a bit, uh, watching that three-nil victory for Australia and he's just seen the arrival of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc into the country, so here he is.

[whoosh] Okay we're now joined by Louis Cameron who's just finished, uh, watching Australia win that ODI series against Zimbabwe three-nil.

And Lou, welcome back to the show.

I believe you've made your way over to South Africa now.

Well, all the best at training, and the next time we chat, um, I'll be next to you in, uh, South Africa, so looking forward to it.

Can't wait.

You know, their tours... that Australia have always enjoyed.

There was a beautiful story on cricket.com.au by Louis Cameron the other day on Mitchell Marsh going back to Zimbabwe and meeting up with the ground staff and everything that he knew 20 years ago when his dad was coach there.

Yes, nice.

All right, Craig, just as we let you go, they're going to salvage the Gabba pitches for your

My name is Josh Honlfinger, and we've got a bonus episode for you here today.

Obviously, it's on our weekly regular show on Thursdays, but this is a bonus one because we've got Louis Cameron on the ground in Zimbabwe, and he had a chat with Joel Davies, the young Australian all-rounder.

Uh, so that's coming up very shortly.

But first, let's check in with Lou, who's on the ground in Harare.
