Joining the JL protection racket

Season 13, Ep 6: As the Australians went out of the T20 World Cup last week, it was the chance that various Justin Langer allies in media jobs had been waiting for. Daniel Brettig of The Age joins the show to talk through why a certain chunk of the population is so pissed off in general with the current Australian team. Also this week, the PM's XI team was announced in support of the Test and ODI squads, and we catch up on the WBBL and Sheffield Shield.
