Spit, sweat and Steve Waugh’s shrugs
Season 8, Ep 9: We shouldn’t, but we couldn’t help ourselves. Somehow we all keep getting sucked in by Shane Warne being an old man yelling at a cloud shaped like Steve Waugh.

The Final Word with the Thailand cricket team
Season 7, Ep 21: It's Thai time! And the first bilingual Final Word. People have wondered how Thailand made it to the World Cup, and we've got the full story in English and in Thai, with three of the women who have been on the journey for over a decade, and the man who designed the program from day one. Sornnarin Tippoch, Nattakan Chantam and Naruemol Chaiwai are three of Thailand's longest-serving players. Shan Khader is the team manager and translator, and Harshal Pathak has been their coach since 2018. Also this week, our broader tournament chat, Nerd Pledge, Lightning Round, the new Super Performer segment, Glenn Maxwell's engagement ring, backback bribery, and some other things we've forgotten.
