Season 9, Ep 20: Featuring Damien Fleming, Dermott Brereton, and Adam White in guest spots, this week's episode comes direct from the Media XI cricket match against the MCC. In the spirit of our accidental Aussie Rules tangents, the match also featured Nick Riewoldt, Brendon Goddard and Daniel Harford. On the show: the West Indies miracle starring Kyle Mayers, the increasing fallout from Australia cancelling on South Africa, medals for Beth Mooney and Steve Smith, domestic cricket ahoy, our wrap of the Big Bash, and a welcome return to Happy Birthday Sachin after a couple of months with attention elsewhere. An episode that was a lot of fun, recorded in a lovely location. Couldn't ask for more.
