Season 9, Ep 12: There’s never been a higher ranked international T20 batsman than Dawid Malan and it just so happens to be that he is quarantining down the corridor from Adam. No better time, then, to get him on to pace through his eventful journey in the professional game over the last decade and a half. Before the interview, we take a look at Australia’s selection considerations ahead of the First Test against India, cross the ditch to recap New Zealand’s big win at Wellington and Daniel Norcross gets to the bottom of how the Coronavirus really got a head of stream.
