Season 19, Episode 13: With Usman Khawaja's back injury keeping him out of the Brisbane Test, that may be it for Australia's opening bat. Not that we knew this when we recorded two hours before the announcement. Stand by for some chat from another universe when he was still in the team. Also this week, India's drubbing by South Africa, Kohli's return to century-making, and a milestone for Amanda-Jade Wellington.
As well as that, Emma John joins us for her first segment on visiting Australia from the UK, supported by Tourism Australia, starting with her experienced tips on how to organise your travel.
