Pete and Gid report on the departure of yet another Cricket Australia chair, with Mike Baird standing down in the face of resistance from states to private investment, to be replaced for the time being by....Boonie? Seriously, what gives? Also: Australia wipe the floor with Australia in a sixth consecutive bilateral ODI series.
