Now seasoned bandwagon jumpers, sportswriters Brett McKay and Ryan O’Connell have again reconvened, this time for a day-night Test edition of the Cheap Seats podcast.

Once again the podcast’s regulars have climbed aboard too, with a sudden barrage of pink ball #AskTheCheapSeats questions.

All the big topics were covered, including:
– The success of the historic day-night Test in Adelaide;
– The spectacle of the cricket itself;
– Pink ball construction, and it’s propensity to swing;
– Nigel Llong’s DRS howler, and DRS in general;
– Mitchell Starc’s foot;
– Josh Hazlewood’s arrive;
– New Zealand returning serve at home in February;
– Brendon McCullum;
– The similarities between Mark Craig’s off-breaks and Brett’s;
– Modern bats;
– A West Indies squad no-one’s heard of;
– Mitchell Marsh’s batting;
– And the $64 question about Usman Khawaja’s return to the side on Boxing Day.

In short, if there’s something you’re wondering about to do with the trans-Tasman series, we’ve got you covered.

As always, you can get us on Twitter at @CheapSeatsPod, on Soundcloud, iTunes, and the TuneIn radio app.

And stay cheap – you never know when we’ll be back!
