Story Time 28, plus Adam Mountford on the future of commentary

Another weekend, more stories – this time with a strong Australia v India theme ahead of the Test series. What’s Geoff’s Angel Number? When was the only time a ten-for was taken in the Ranji Trophy? The questions we also consider. There’s time for a Dusty Old Bastard and a Paul Kelly ode reimagined. After the break, from the Calling the Shots documentary we have our full interview with the man who makes Test Match Special sing, the programme’s long-term producer, Adam Mountford.   (Sorry about the audio quality in the first half an hour or so, blame it on quarantine)  Your Nerd Pledge numbers are:  6.28 – Basab Majumdar  3.54 – Dane Hansted & Graham B.  2.91 – Ajay  10.20 – Andrew Walker & George Norman  3.43 – Samuel Chappell  3.24 – Sami Dowd  Send us a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalword  Find previous episodes at  finalwordcricket.com  Buy Geoff’s new book, The Comeback Summer  Listen to the Calling the Shots documentary.  Get your Wisden drinks for Christmas! 10% off with FW10: www.wisden.com/shop   Check out CBUS Super at   https://www.cbussuper.com.au/thefinalword   The Final Word is part of the  Bad Producer Podcast Network  Title track by  Urthboy  Support the show: https://patreon.com/thefinalword See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
