As an 18-year-old, would you have rather gone to Schoolies or play in the WBBL? That was the dilemma faced by the Brisbane Heat's Lucy Hamilton this week who made history as the competition's youngest player to take a five-wicket haul. 

As we get closer to finals, Beamsy explains why the shorter season has made the race for a top four spot tighter than ever. Before surprisingly backing the sixth-ranked Sydney Sixers to be one of the most dangerous teams pushing for finals.

Listen to Corbin Middlemas, Andrew Moore, Tom Cooper and Phil Jaques bring you exhilarating coverage of Marcus Stoinis's 61 off 27 balls as the Aussies flogged Pakistan by 7-wickets in the 3rd T20 with 50 balls to spare in Hobart. 

Sam Lane and Lehmo caught up with Port Adelaide AFLW coach Lauren Arnell, Hobart Hurricanes run machine Lizelle Lee and Australia's oldest jockey Keith Ballard just to name a few. 

The team also covered rugby, cricket, motor racing and soccer as well as a chat with the Stingers first female coach to lead them to an Olympic Games in Bec Rippon.

So has the World Cup win sunk in yet for one of New Zealand's greats?
