Scoop Podcast: life of an Aussie quick with Brown and Garth

After a quick break following a very successful multi-format tour to India, the Aussie girls are back on home soil ready to take on South Africa in another three-format series!

First up, hosts Laura Jolly and Emily Collin recap the closing stages of the India tour, before taking a look at how the Aussies might approach an opponent they haven't played a bilateral series against since 2016.

Then, it's the fast bowling duo of Darcie Brown and Kim Garth on the show to chat about everything from life as an Aussie fast bowler, who the coaches' pets are and look ahead to a major milestone for Megan Schutt.

The series gets underway with the first T20I at Manuka Oval on Saturday 27th of January.
