The Final Word Cricket Podcast · Jan 20, 2026 · 1h 25m

Season 19 Episode 22: The seasons are changing, and after a white-clothing summer, Steve Smith is dressed in hot pink and smacking balls into orbit. He's no longer in Australia's T20 plans, but can he force a change of direction? Also this week, Ben Stokes falls for the old "ban Australians from county cricket" trick, Virat Kohli goes back to World No.1, while Emma John and former England captain Heather Knight join the show, one to chat about the Harrow cricket museum and the other about the new Lord's team.

Australia brings memories that last a lifetime.
