4:47Clarke argues that Australia's captain needs to address the resurfaced questions publicly.
10:00The hosts discuss Cricket Australia's position against reopening the investigation; Clarke argues for clearer answers.
25:15The conversation turns to England's preparation and squad strength for the ODI series.
28:16Clarke says Labuschagne must rebuild his case for Test selection through domestic performances.
29:13The hosts praise Kohli and Rohit's continued hunger while reviewing India's ODI results against New Zealand.

Michael Clarke and Gerard Middleton do eventually get back to the cricket. England's ODI preparations, Marnus Labuschagne's domestic form and India's batting all feature in Beyond23 Cricket Podcast's main episode, but the unresolved Sandpapergate discussion takes up most of the opening stretch.

That full conversation has reached nearly half a million views, making it comfortably the most watched of the week's four uploads. It also remains the channel's strongest daily draw, followed by the separate extract about Usman Khawaja's comments. The standalone captaincy discussion gives the same debate another entry point, as we reported here.

Clarke's concern is that the questions will follow Australia through the summer. "End it now. Don't let it linger. Don't let it run through the summer," he says near the episode's close. His call is for public answers and leadership accountability, rather than leaving the discussion behind closed doors.

The audience has grown too, with about 1,000 subscribers added over the week. Daily channel views are now approaching four times their usual level. Nearby in cricket coverage, talkSPORT Cricket is also having a much busier viewing day than usual.

The week's final upload offers a change of subject: Labuschagne's Test prospects. In the full episode, Clarke's answer is blunt rather than sentimental: the batter needs runs in domestic cricket to earn his way back. Beyond23's summer conversation has room for selection arguments as well as the one it cannot yet put down.
