Season 8, Ep 5: You thought cricket was safe in the south? Think again. CA is shutting down operations to avoid running out of cash. Questions and accusations abound. Are they broke yet? Will they stiff the players? Did they lose it all playing the stock market? We talk to newshound Peter Lalor to separate fact from misunderstanding. 

Also: which of the Mighty Ducks actually deserved to play for Team USA? Will Glenn Maxwell captain Australia A in an unofficial Test against Steve Smith and company? Will the IPL take over the spot if the T20 World Cup leaves a vacancy? When can we watch a cricket match in Amsterdam? For an episode recorded on 4/20, we need to know.
