Season 10, Ep 4: Horror movies teach us that if you don't nail the monster properly, it always comes back. Australia's ball-tampering story was never buried properly the first time around. This week we speak to Peter Lalor about the news side of the story that won't go away. We also cover various squads, the county championship, and have a breezy chat with Australia's nearly-there cult hero Michael Neser.
