Show Notes
Season 20, Episode 29: It's always Labuschagne season in Australia. We all thought that his time was done for now, but somehow he's been picked on the trip to his country of birth. What is the rationale from George Bailey and his selection troupe? Also this week, Kevin Pietersen is back for England, Hampshire make an inexplicably bad decision, Brydon Carse gets read the riot act, Mohsin Naqvi keeps digging the hole for the Pakistan board, and the county champo sees a couple of miracles.
