Season 2, Ep 5: Reloading lost episodes from the early Final Word, we're going all the way back to January 2016, where we spent a wet Sydney Test match thinking of songs involving rain rather than watching cricket.
West Indies refuse to cook up a run chase, concentrating instead on making 300 in an innings, while James Pattinson gets clobbered by Carlos Braithwaite - remember the name. Nathan Lyon has to go to India, and of historic importance is the moment Steve O'Keefe gets out the glowsticks. Not to mention another major achievement: the week when Geoff wins Dan of the Day in Melbourne pub cricket.

This season was originally recorded for the ABC.
