The 12th Man is back with Boned! and it's hilarious. Richie Benaud is boned (sacked) along with the whole commentary team and spends most of the album trying to get himself reinstated. He is particularly annoyed by the fact that Billy Birmingham (the actor who plays the 12th Man) is replacing the whole commentary team as he can impersonate everyone and therefore Channel 9 only needs to pay one salary rather than several..... There is a rap remake of the 12th Man hit "Marvellous", which is very very funny.
The cricket commentary is the Ashes - presumably the last season where Australia kicked England clear into next year - but in this version, Australia score 700-something on the first day, with "only the four batsmen needed" (sound familiar?). And the pigeons are back too....
