You’ll soon be hearing a new 2019 version of Sherbet’s classic ‘Howzat’. Daryl Braithwaite has confirmed to Noise11 that he and Garth Porter recorded the new version this week in Sydney.

Daryl says ‘Howzat 2019’ was done for Channel 7’s cricket season. The new version will also has had a lyric make-over with the line “you messed about I caught you out” removed to divert attention from the ball-tampering scandal of 2018.
