The Grade Cricketer

TGC is back and we're coming to Darwin

25 May 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What news updates are shared at the beginning of the episode?

0.031 - 20.959 Sam Perry

Okay, a bit of news here from TGC Towers. The main pod will be returning next Tuesday, June 2, the 2nd of June, if that's the way you want to do it. I know you've been getting like a weekly pod, IPL styles, but right now the IPL does not go forever and there's so much other cricket happening in the world. Privatisation, there's an enormous series coming up, England, New Zealand.

21.019 - 29.11 Sam Perry

Is it make or break for this England set-up? Will anything ever break this set-up? I don't know. But I'm looking forward to diving deep, Pepeza.

29.09 - 48.752 Pez

Yeah, and I understand people's confusion. I mean, they've been tuning into this pod every single week covering this very important IPL narration, this important story of the IPL that we've called the Asian Century. But, yes, we move on to the quaint factor of international cricket, of test cricket. I'm looking forward to narrating the Northern Summer story

What I've picked up so far, and we're going to have to do our research, is that after England's 4-1 defeat to Australia in Australia, the conclusion appears to be that Australia wasn't very good, that Key, McCullum and Stokes are good to go, and that Zach Crawley is the designated corpse, a ceremonial feeding to the wolves, if you will. Um, and meanwhile, the Kiwis are very, very quiet.

71.755 - 83.443 Pez

No one's talking about them and they'll like it that way. Um, on the privatization front, we will be bringing you Australian crickets, uh, choice between sports bed and India cement, uh, for its future options.

83.483 - 94.158 Sam Perry

Deluxe Siamese cat style, uh, as my roommate once said to me. Now, it goes beyond that because that also feeds into the Australia-Bangladesh series in Darwin and Mackay. That's in August.

Chapter 2: What challenges does the England cricket team face ahead of the New Zealand series?

94.438 - 114.48 Sam Perry

And if you're going to be in Darwin or if you find yourself living there, we will be doing a live show as part of the Darwin Festival, many enormous acts, and then also us for some reason, doing our thing on the main stage, I believe it is, on Wednesday, August. I think we're on twos. I think it's twos, our stage.

114.46 - 117.964 Pez

Good, okay. But yeah, twos, obviously, that's a start.

117.984 - 136.206 Sam Perry

It makes us feel better. Exactly. We're much more comfortable there. The sunset stage. That is Wednesday, August 12th, the night before the Darwin Test match, the first Test match of that Bangladesh series. You can get tickets at greycricketer.com, but Pez, you've obviously lived in Darwin, spent some time there. I can't wait to get back.

136.226 - 155.848 Pez

Is it a homecoming? Absolutely not. I think anybody who lives in Darwin understands that most people there are transient and will never be back. But it is a place that, like, gets into your blood. And I'm looking forward to, like, I'm looking forward to going back. You're talking Mitchell Street. You're talking Mary's Larksa Parat Markets.

156.83 - 167.804 Pez

You're talking about the sun setting over the sailing club, beers disappearing at a concerning pace, medically speaking. The place has a special spirit. Um, they're frothing for some test cricket there, Darwin.

168.265 - 191.236 Pez

Um, and I'm just saying to listeners and viewers, like if there, if someone's in the market for a domestic test cricket pilgrimage, like look no further than Darwin, you're talking TGC sunset stage evening before a special test match there into day one against a rampant Bangladesh, mind you. Are they? Apparently. I don't know. But I think they – They beat Pakistan. They took down Pakistan.

191.437 - 206.88 Pez

But look, great way to escape winter and to sample from us important discourse about why Darwin needs private investment. And that's why the show is called TGSE Live Sunrises Darwin. Yeah. Night before the test. Get there.

206.9 - 210.767 Sam Perry

And you either pay in cash or in cement to buy your tickets.

210.787 - 217.941 Pez

Well, you can pay 49% of the ticket and then the other. We'll figure it out there and they can get the future profits.
