About this episode
Season 3, Ep 6: Happy New Year for 2017! Our new NYE segment is Best & Worst. Admittedly it is a short segment at the end of the show, but before that we have to talk about a wonderful Boxing Day Test. Mitchell Starc has missed a lot of them, but reserved his best all-round performance for this one against Pakistan, despite the best efforts of Azhar Ali. Also this week: Gusatvo Kuerten, Thomas Muster, and Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, a night for Steve O'Keefe at Revolver, and the first Dream Dinner Party on The Final Word. And with Matthew Wade struggling with the gloves, this question: "If we want to go really left field, is Tim Paine starting to lurk again?" This season was originally recorded for the ABC.
