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.
