Season 3, Ep 8: Stop us if this sounds familiar: it's January, around the Sydney Test, there's a tour to India coming up any minute, and we're wondering whether Mitchell Swepson is good enough to feature. Matthew Renshaw is coming into the side, Glenn Maxwell is vying for a spot with Travis Head. But this is 2017. Also on this episode: Minty Panesar (sic), Javed Miandad and his I Love New York hat, Kim Garth arrives in the Big Bash, and the most runs you could score and wickets you could lose in the same Super Over.

This season was originally recorded for the ABC.
