Season 15, Episode 13: Mitchell Johnson can still steam in - which he did this week, aiming some pelters at David Warner and George Bailey. But perhaps his perspective has more nuanced picture than has been presented? What is not nuanced is that Pakistan's cricket political brawling is a disaster - hello and goodbye again to Salman Butt. Adelaide win the WBBL final inspired by Amanda Wellington, Glenn Maxwell signs off from India with one more wild ton, and is now heading to the Corner Hotel for our live show, and there were two boilovers in women's cricket from Pakistan and Bangladesh. Plus a hectic Shield round - Lawrence Neil-Smith is coming for your batters.
