Season 12, Ep 26: Let us level with you: we have done a poor job of covering Zimbabwean cricket. The easiest reason for that, however unsatisfactory, is that they haven't been as present as they should be, for a whole host of complicated reasons. So, with The Chevrons currently in Australia for their first bi-lateral series in nearly two decades, we've dedicated an entire episode to them. For this, Adam has acclaimed author and journalist Liam Brickhill with him as co-host, taking on the task of trying to get us up to speed. And he comes with good news: there are green shoots and they look real this time. Veteran all-rounder SIkandar Raza, in the form of his life at the moment and with one of the best backstories in the game - from fighter pilot training in Pakistan to university in Scotland to international cricket - also drops by for a detailed chat about his fascinating career.
