Episode Description from the Publisher

One of the all-time greats joins the show. Blewie brings Greg Chappell to the table for a wide-ranging chat on World Series Cricket, the shift in power from boards to players, and why the future of Test cricket is under real pressure. They revisit the 1972 Ashes, his Lord’s hundred, facing the West Indies fast-bowling quartet, and why Andy Roberts was the most complete of them all. We dive into modern batting, the power game, the front leg clearing, the sweet-spot era, and whether technique has been sacrificed for spectacle. Plus classic Rod Marsh stories and a reminder of what elite competitiveness really looks like. One for the diehards, from a man you rarely hear at this length.
