Soft-focus World Cup montage with sad piano

Season 6, Ep 6: We all know what happened in the World Cup final. But the day before that, before everyone was consumed with euphoria or sadness, we spoke to everyone we could find about the tournament they had experienced. Here is New Zealand's voice of cricket Bryan Waddle, ESPN Cricinfo's Melinda Farrell, Wisden editor Lawrence Booth, Kiwi captain Jeremy Coney, Cricbuzz writers Vithushan Ehantharajah and Bharat Sundaresan, photographer Stu Forster, Guardian newsbreaker Ali Martin, and the World Cup's managing director Steve Elworthy. Plus of course a massive round of Nerd Pledge. Set us a number challenge at patreon.com/thefinalword.
