Cummins Out?
Australia at a crossroads? Maxwell retires, selection questions mount and the pressure builds on Pat Cummins. Menners is joined by SEN Tassie's David 'Flash' Lithgow for a big cricket discussion following Australia's disappointing tour of South Africa. We start with Glenn Maxwell's international retirement and reflect on a remarkable white-ball career, while asking whether Australian cricket ever got the best out of him in Test cricket. There's plenty to debate around Australia's new ODI and T20 squads, including Jake Fraser-McGurk's recall, Cooper Connolly's future and the growing case for Jack Edwards. Then we turn our attention to the big questions facing the Test side. Was Pat Cummins wrong to bowl first in Cape Town? Is the captain showing signs of burnout? Who should bat at number three, where should Alex Carey bat, and is it time to reconsider Nathan Lyon's place in the team? We also discuss Australia's emerging Shield talent, Tasmania's impressive start to the season and why the upcoming New Zealand series could be a defining moment for Australian cricket.

South Africa vs Australia 3rd Test: Menners Minutes Day 5 'Disaster for Australia'
Australia's tour of South Africa ends in humiliating fashion as the hosts complete a comprehensive 176-run victory, winning the series 2-1 and claiming the number one spot in Test cricket. Menners reflects on one of the lowest points of the Pat Cummins era, as Australia collapse for just 111 chasing 288. Kagiso Rabada strikes early before Simon Harmer tears through the batting order with a sensational six-wicket haul, finishing with 10 wickets for the match. The review examines Australia's disastrous batting, questionable selections, Cummins' captaincy and the growing concerns surrounding Nathan Lyon. Menners also looks at the individual performances across the series, identifying some positives in Matt Renshaw, Josh Inglis and Cameron Green, while questioning the future direction of the Australian team. With the New Zealand summer, India tour and Ashes ahead, Menners argues that significant changes are needed, including a new captain and chairman of selectors. Is this the beginning of the end of the Cummins era? Australia humiliated: A disastrous end to the South African tour. The Cummins era under scrutiny: Selection mistakes, the toss and questions over leadership. Nathan Lyon's declining form and Australia's worrying start to the final innings.

South Africa vs Australia 3rd Test: Menners Minutes Day 4 'Advantage South Africa'
Australia face a daunting final-day challenge in Cape Town after South Africa fought back brilliantly on Day 4 to set a target of 288 for victory. Starting at 4/140, the Proteas reached 387 all out, thanks to superb centuries from Wiaan Mulder (115) and Ryan Rickelton (101), who combined for a crucial 154-run partnership. Menners examines how Australia's bowling attack struggled to break through for much of the day, before some outstanding fielding, including run-outs from Marnus Labuschagne and Josh Inglis, helped Australia take six wickets in the final session. Mitchell Starc was the pick of the bowlers, while Nathan Lyon's effectiveness on the turning pitch comes under scrutiny. With Australia needing 288 to win the Test and the series, Menners looks at the pressure facing the batting lineup, including Travis Head, Cameron Green, Josh Inglis and a potentially playing-for-his-Test-career Marnus Labuschagne. There's also discussion around David Warner's criticism of Marnus, Steve Smith's future, Pat Cummins' captaincy and whether it's time for a major shake-up of Australia's selection panel. South Africa are favourites heading into the final day, but Australia have a chance to produce another famous Newlands run chase.

Menners also questions Pat Cummins' decision to bowl first, looks at Australia's future batting order following Inglis' performance, and names Kayo the Menners Minutes Muppet of the Day after its streaming problems.
