We promise we will not say Bazball

Season 12, Ep 13: Jodie Hicks Watch. An beachside chat with Alex Carey. Channel Seven suing Cricket Australia again, with the inside word from the Brettig Box. A mighty good Nerd Pledge. Yes, of course, the happy madness coming over English Test cricket after a dire couple of years. The England women's Test team letting in fresh air via a new generation of players. The Sri Lankan women hosting India. Eoin Morgan's farewell, and inevitable installation on your commentary feeds for decades to come. All of that and more on a bumper episode of The Final Word, coming to you from the power cuts and sea breezes of Galle.
