Season 9, Ep 7: Final Word friend Bharat Sundaresan has spent the past month in Adelaide rocking out at the First Annual Sheffield Shield Party Carnival Fiesta. He joins us to fill in all the details we might have missed among the centuries and bags of wickets, having watched all the players in similar conditions. Who's up, who's down, who's in, who's out? Bharat and Katy Perry know.
Also, Virat Kohli's paternity leave, how the WBBL teams are faring, Winnie's citizenship, IPL finals week, Zimbabwe beat Pakistan in a Super Over, Joe Denly's time ends as England name a South Africa squad, somehow Graeme Hick gets a mention again, and plenty more.

This weekend history wander takes in the famous 1960-61 West Indies tour of Australia, two different times that Zimbabwe finished with scores level, some very cryptic clues, the bird with the largest wingspan, Adam’s Forgotten Fifties series, Metallica, and some times that Blocker Wilson would rather forget.
After that comes the Extended Edition interview from some months ago with Jarrod Kimber for the Calling The Shots doco. All of the extras that didn’t make the documentary have been polished up here for your listening enjoyment. Kimber off the leash.
