The Final Word has got to go to India

Season 13, Ep 23: Coming to you at sunset from the old VCA ground in Nagpur, where Damien Martyn hit that six onto the press box roof in 2004, this is at last our first weekly show from India. The old stadium a different place now, much more low key than when it hosted Tests, but our friend Milind bhai from the security detail showed us around. This week on the show, the fallout from Australia's Test loss at the other VCA ground, the women's T20 World Cup gets underway with some serious upsets, Jofra Archer bursts back into the England one-day team while their Test side prepares in New Zealand without Trent Boult, Aaron Finch retires, the Big Bash finishes up, and West Indies play out a fun Test match against Zimbabwe. Join us on the roof
