Download WBBL winner: 'I taught myself how to bowl spin'
Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma are joined by Zimbabwe’s Anesu Mushangwe who has just won the Women's Big Bash League with the Adelaide Strikers. She became the first player from Zimbabwe to win the title and tells us how she learnt how to bowl throwing lemons. Anesu details her journey from growing up in Zimbabwe and falling in love with cricket, to moving to Australia and playing with her idols and all the obstacles in-between.
The team discuss the row that has broken out in Australia with former bowler Mitchell Johnson questioning whether former team-mate David Warner should be given a "hero's send-off" in the Test series against Pakistan. They debate Johnson's comments and assess Warner's global profile.
