Cameron Green reportedly said to Tom Decent, 'why are you out to get me?'
1. Cricket Unfiltered focuses on New South Wales' title, Cameron Green's media clash, and the Sheffield Shield season. 2. Menas hosts the show with Damian Watson, who comments on Shield cricket, New South Wales decisions, and domestic selection. 3. The episode asks whether New South Wales, England, and Australian domestic cricket are being handled well or badly. 4. New South Wales won the one-day cup final against Tasmania by four wickets with 11 balls remaining after Tasmania were bowled out for 118. 5. Curtis Patterson made 52 not out and finished as the tournament's leading run scorer. 6. Joel Davies contributed 20 off 10 deliveries in the chase and was described as 'Captain Cool.' 7. Greg Shippard was still coaching while the Cricket New South Wales board interviewed Brad Haddon at Cricket Central. 8. Menas says players were unhappy with the process and felt it was disrespectful to Shippard. 9. Lee Jamon said the decision to extend Shippard for two years last year may have been a mistake. 10. Haddon said he wants to restore the 'New South Wales winning way' and take a more aggressive approach. 11. Cameron Green's 135 for Western Australia became part of a dispute over media access and interview limits. 12. Tom Decent reported that Green was told he could only be asked about that match and that Green later said, 'why are you out to get me?' 13. Bo Casson apologised to Tom Decent after the exchange. 14. Damian Watson argues Green is feeling the pressure and should manage post-match interviews more calmly. 15. Menas argues Green should have handled the questions more professionally after scoring a century. 16. The hosts also discuss how Green averages far better at Shield level than at Test level. 17. The episode is conversational, opinion-led, and moves quickly between domestic cricket stories. 18. Menas and Watson argue directly, use examples from commentary and media reporting, and keep the tone informal. 19. Best for listeners who follow Australian domestic cricket and selection debates. 20. Skip it if you want only match highlights and no administration talk.
