It's the last week before the Australian domestic season properly gets underway so Kane Richardson and Josh Schonafinger are on deck to chat through each of the men's states' chances in the Sheffield Shield.

Richo also goes into some detail on what it means to have a stress fracture in the back after the news that 19-year-old Callum Vidler is suffering that fate this week.

Plus TUP regular Louis Cameron is dialled in to give his five breakout players for the 2025-26 season.
