    Justin Langer = Ted Lasso?
    Jul 24 2024
    Season 16, Episode 25: Another week, another proposed job for Justin Langer. Sure, he doesn't want it, and the AFL club doesn't want it, but it's a fun idea. Also, the ICC has yet another meeting and yet again doesn't mention the war (in Afghanistan), but at least the Women's World Cup is expanding for teams that are not Afghanistan. Chamari Atapattu keeps tearing it up in the Asia Cup, and we have announcements about the Final Word XI and some upcoming live shows.
