Season 17, Ep 23: The Australian international summer is winding down, even with a major ICC tournament around the corner next week. A debrief on the Sri Lankan tour is our first order of business, noting that we did reach Murali's 800 in Galle after all. From there, the BazBall Death Cult has a certain ring to it, as does the idea of José Mourinho becoming cricket's Ted Lasso in the new privatised world of The Hundred. On a bumper ep, there's also time to sink our teeth into a brilliant Shield round and celebrate Ireland's Test success in Bulawayo.
