Season 21, Episode 8: We're trying something new - this was a live-streamed live response to Pat Cummins extraordinary 70-minute till-they-drop press conference, which began with a potent repudiation of Usman Khawaja's version of the 2018 South Africa tour, and grew in nuance to include a lot of appreciation for other parts of Khawaja's contributions. Our chat is rough around the edges, but here it is.
