Season 3, Ep 2: Reloading lost episodes from the early Final Word.
Last week we spoke to Peter Handscomb about when half the Australian team was sacked and he debuted, following the Australia's Got Talent round of the Sheffield Shield. Now, by pure coincidence, we've worked our way back to the episode that we recorded immediately following that Adelaide Test match in November 2016. Faf du Plessis plays smarter, not harder, to set an all-time Test record, Usman Khawaja demonstrates that him opening the batting might just be a great idea, Adam suffers from a case of delirium, we talk about "hardness" and Handscomb subverting cliches of masculinity, and The Quiney Nine is joined by the Renshaw Ten.
This season was originally recorded for the ABC.
