Episode Summary:

Ian Hawkins and Ben Norris dive into a jam-packed Week In Review, starting with an unpredictable Bathurst that had everything rain, chaos, and one of the tightest finishes in years. From Garth Tander joining the all-time greats to wild late-race drama, the boys relive all the moments that made it unmissable.

They also tackle the hot topic shaking up Australian cricket, calls to move the iconic Boxing Day and New Year’s Tests, and why tradition still matters in a sport that’s constantly evolving. Plus, they discuss Big Bash scheduling clashes, Ashes rivalries reignited by Zach Crawley’s comments, and a cheeky Serie A match heading to Australia that’s got football fans talking.

It’s a fast, funny, and fiery wrap of the week. Full of classic Aussie sporting insight, a bit of banter, and lessons in leadership, pressure, and perspective.
