Halfway through the IPL season, Cat and Dan break down what’s happened so far and make (some already invalidated) predictions about what will happen for the rest of the tournament. Also, the Sheffield Shield is back, and the Australian women’s team are on their way to a hundred-match ODI winning streak. Plus: why was Ricky Ponting’s men’s team so lame? How’s Steve Smith’s guitar playing going? And which cricketer has the best new football podcast? All is revealed in this episode.
