    Was the 2024/25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy the best series of all time? - Season 9 Episode 10
    Jan 8 2025
    Gday Prairians and Welcome to Club Prairie Fire, Season 9 episode 9. We are super fond of tequila, Tabasco and the Duckworth Lewis Stern System. This episode I am calling… “Vaughany’s prediction was right… at least on our show.” That’s right folks, 3-1 the mighty Australians have defeated India to claim the border Gavaskar trophy and our super soothsayer Michael “the 5th day sucks” Vaughan predicted it. What he didn’t predict was the epic spice that the series and in particular the 3 day, yes your heard it right, 3 day 5th test would toss up. Not that long ago people were saying test match cricket was dull and boring, well hasn’t that turned around. Find another sport where 19 year olds with poorly formed patchy moustaches pick fights with the best bowler and the once best batsmen in the world. Let us say it loud and proud…Test match Cricket is back baby! TIME STAMPS: 00:00 - Introductions 02:56 - India were the moral winners 04:38 - Are the ICC listening to the show? 06:50 - Who came up with the two tier Test Cricket idea, was it KP, Michael Holding or Vaughany? 10:25 - How the divisions would work 14:50 - CATO Story - Which Big Bash game should the Barmy Army go to in the off week? 19:01 - Virat Kohli and Stuart Broad bring up sandpaper gate again… 23:08 - Sam Konstas BIG moments - hand gestures, face-off with Bumrah and aggressive batting 32:47 - Big Beau Webster debut 38:07 - The future for Indian Cricket including the next captain 43:14 - Why was Sunil Gavaskar not doing the trophy presentation? 45:20 - The quiz Thanks for watching and remember to like and subscribe as well as follow us @clubprairiefire on all social media channels and don't forget to join our discord channel for extra bonus content - www.clubprairiefire.com.au.
