Season 15, Episode 17: Happy New Year. As we wrap up what was a huge one in 2023, and roll over blinking into the new light of 2024, we take our annual look back on what stood out for the right reasons and what stood out for wrong. Plus we catch up with the Australian women's Test in India, and the Indian men's disastrous first Test in South Africa.
