The Final Word Cricket Podcast We now come to you live from this hammock
Season 18, Episode 20: It's the first ever Final Word from Grenada, as Geoff and Bharat kick back on the deck looking over St Georges. It's a fine view for a long conversation. Some dark stories swirl over the current West Indies team, as the administrators pretend it's not happening. Steve Smith is back, Sunil Gavaskar gets stroppy, there's change at Cricket Ireland, Zimbabwe are back in the Test arena, Smriti Mandhana joins a rare club, and Pakistan will play India at the Women's World Cup.
