E23: Deer in floodlights and tale of a dropped catch! Then the floodgates opened…

E22: Hosts don’t seem to be feeling at-home at the moment!

The Cow Corner discusses a bizarre first two days at the business-end of the WC! A washout, followed by low-scoring thriller and then what was supposed to be the “clash-of-the-titans (instead it turned out to be a one-side rout). Both the WC hosts seem to be feeling out-of-place at the moment.  Can they bounce back?
