Season 3, Ep 3: Reloading lost episodes from the early Final Word.
Remember when Glenn Maxwell got exiled from the one-day team for answering a question about batting higher up the order? We do. Never forget. It was the middle of the Steve Smith era as cricket supremo, while making a squillion runs in every format. Also this week in 2016, Amanda-Jade Wellington debuted for Australia, taking a wicket with her first ball in international cricket. Matthew Mott was played this week by Emilio Estevez, Travis Head was making a case in the one-day middle order, and we gave a detailed team-by-team WBBL preview. Ah, getting granular.
This season was originally recorded for the ABC.
