Season 9, Ep 8: Australia’s Test season faces new turmoil, with any means necessary being considered to deploy cricketers across the length and breadth of the continent. The WBBL heads towards its business end with the previously busted-arse Stars now a lean mean scoring machine, whose only weakness is the biggest battlers in the comp. England’s men head to South Africa while the remnants of Cricket South Africa’s old regime do their best to destroy the tour. Plus the not-so-new Big Bash rule changes, the Pucovski Debate (a John Grisham novel), Adam exhumes another ancient cricketer’s memory, and we consider optimal lamb chop delivery.
