Season 9, Ep 28: Tiger Tim of Ireland has quite the story. From bowling the first ball in Irish Test cricket, to triumphs with Middlesex, to missing out on World Cups by agonising margins. On the eve of his final contracted season, with his 40th birthday approaching fast, he sat down with us to talk through it all.

Also this week: the IPL approaches along with our new Glenn Maxwell plan. Australia's women set a world record winning streak. The Sheffield Shield finalists are decided after a busy final round. And there's a dash of Nerd Pledge and Bannerman Watch.
