Summary
Season 20 Episode 13: Cricket Australia are pushing a line about needing more money coming in, but that didn't stop a bunch of money going out, after a technology executive was accused of funnelling contracts to their own company. Meanwhile, the whistleblower who reported the problem was sacked. Things aren't going well at head office. Also this week, Jacob Bethell's broken finger opens up an England Test spot, and the pink ball may get approved for use during red-ball games.
