Season 15, Episode 12: So it comes down to Mitchell Marsh vs Cameron Green - but does it make sense for David Warner to get his preferred farewell instead of making space in the Test XI against Pakistan? It's one question with Australia's Test summer around the corner. The T20 side is still in India instead of having a ticker-tape parade at home, where WBBL finals are about to start. Meanwhile, it's silly season in the IPL, the next England summer has started taking shape, and the most important cricket this week is being played in Namibia, where Zimababwe are likely to miss next year's T20 World Cup.
