The Man Who Saved Test Cricket - Michael Kasprowicz joins the show

The Fast Bowling Cartel

Flem, Dizzy and Pidge welcome the ever-resilient Michael Kasprowicz to the mic for a deep dive into his storied career in the baggy green. From his early days steaming in for Australia to earning the title of "Subcontinent Specialist," Kaspa shares the grit, grind and guile it took to thrive on spinning decks and in hostile crowds.


The crew relives the epic 2004 series win in India — a triumph decades in the making — and the unforgettable 2005 Ashes in England, where Kaspa’s final stand with Brett Lee nearly turned the tide and, as some say, "saved Test cricket" in the process.
