A dropped catch at the Canary Islands might be the moment that decides this whole match.
Welcome to Simulated Online Cricket - a fake T20 league played on a cricket video game and called like it's the real thing. Regular Sporting Woods listeners: this is the cricket one.
Round 1 rolls on at Municipality of Las Palmas Oval, where the Golden Nuggets host The Revolution. A routine chance goes down off Big Goss's hands mid-chase, and the whole game changes from there. The mullet duo of Colin de Grandhomme and Ishant Sharma (the golden mullet, if you're new here) do their best, but it's the drop everyone's still talking about by the final over.
In this episode:
\- Tim and Luke, still reeling from last episode's tie
\- Stump the Boys debuts at halftime: an officially sanctioned (Michael's words) trivia segment
\- A detour into dips that nobody saw coming - guac, tzatziki, hummus, baba ganoush - plus Luke's 10kg of gravy powder
\- A review so dramatic it gets thermal vision
\- The well-priced family SUVs have been upgraded. They're family work vans now.
\- Every four and six brought to you by a sponsor. Astral Pipes are back. They still pipe.
Listening, not watching? The review uses mock "thermal vision" and slow-mo replays on screen, all played completely straight. Michael is still broadcasting from his executive lounge set.
Who do you reckon wins next time? Next up: the Brisbane Burners host the Golden Nuggets at The Burns Ward.
