Season 3, Ep 3: Glenn Maxwell exiled from the one-day team for answering a question about batting higher up the order? Yep. It's the middle of the Steve Smith era as cricket supremo, while making a squillion runs in every format. Also this week , Amanda-Jade Wellington debuts for Australia to take a wicket with her first ball. Matthew Mott is played this week by Emilio Estevez, Travis Head makes a case in the one-day middle order, and we give a detailed team-by-team WBBL preview. Ah, granular.

This season was originally recorded for the ABC.
