Somebody please beat the Breakers

Season 9, Ep 23: NSW win the 50-over comp every bloody year, but just for a moment the Breakers are fifth. Enjoy the novelty. This week we go back and forth over the Tasman for a range of formats, with some Shield corkers and some T20 madness, some men's games and some women's, some England and New Zealand and India and Australia, as well a detour to Abu Dhabi for Afghanistan and Zimbabwe and their future on free to air. What else? Javed Miandad’s I ❤️ NY hat, Keith Miller's trip to the opera, and of course our old mate Charles Bannerman and those he inspires. It’s another sprawling weekly episode of The Final Word.
