Episode 8
What's wrong with losing?
It's been three days since the Australian cricketers admitted to ball tampering in South Africa. Eliza is a huge cricket fan but hasn't liked the 'vibe' of the team for a while. The boorish behaviour on the pitch, the vitriolic send-offs and the win-at-all-costs mentality is ugly.
Geraldine thinks the problem may lie in the corporatisation of sport. Eliza reveals that she falls into the trap of only doing things she's good at. She's tried to change that in Indonesia.
Finally, Geraldine discusses Hugo Weaving's play at the Sydney Theatre Company.
