The Final Word Cricket Podcast

It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. Joining Geoff for your long trips on your Easter weekend, Bharat Sundaresan is back on the show before his own long drive from Adelaide to Sydney, detouring via the birthplace of Justin Langer's favourite Australian, Albert Jacka. But on this episode we spend most of our time on the Teardrop Isle, in between visiting Darude, the MCG in 1903, and the brief time in the sun of Loretta Davis.

Season 12, Ep 1: Another season premiere! We go around for the twelfth time - can't and won't stop. With Geoff away (he's back next week), Daniel Norcross will play. And what better time for it with county cricket back? We go long on that, as we do the latest on the Jimmy and Stuart saga, before doing a lap of the planet. Then later, Adam talks to Justin Smith about his lovely cricketing novel, Cooper Not Out.  Your Nerd Pledge number this week: 3.46 – Keelan O’Reilly Send us a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalword Find previous episodes at finalwordcricket.com 20% off primo WoodstockCricket.co.uk kit with the code TFW20 Check out Brick Lane Brewing on Instagram,FB and Twitter 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.

It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, Daniel Norcross is back but in the chair for Geoff this time. And both he and Adam end up landing on a similar topic: inappropriate post-war county captains and how they found themselves in the job. Specifically, a man named Mandy - it's worth sticking around for the end of the show, this tale is worth it. Also featured: Curtly, Warnie and Sexy David Hookes.  Your Nerd Pledge numbers this week: 4.51 - Joshua Goleby  2.05 - Sam Littlejohn 4.64 - Adam Tunney 4.10 - Sam Nemzer, Timothy O'Meara & Slim Johns 4.17 - Rob O'Neill & Andrew Donnison 2.83 - Claire Danny Daniel 2.69 - James Blundell  Send us a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalword Find other episodes at finalwordcricket.com  Get 20% off Woodstock Cricket kit with code TFW20 at woodstockcricket.co.uk Support the show: https://patreon.com/thefinalword See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Season 11, Ep 23: With Geoff taking a break to chill out after the Pakistan trip, Daniel Norcross is back in the chair alongside Adam, recording in London as a new English season prepares to bloom. For this, they are joined by Essex recruit Matt Critchley, who we are tipping will take the nation by storm over the coming months. But before coming to what’s ahead of us, there’s the little matter of Australia’s barnstorming World Cup win with some time taken to consider the challenges for those trying to catch the world champs three years from now.

It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, Daniel Norcross hops in to give Adam some recovery time, and perhaps not coincidentally the show is all about leg-spinners and long-distant Caribbean cricket.

Season 11, Ep 22: We're back from Pakistan. Adam decidedly worse for wear after his car crash, but he'll still prop up on some cushions and record an ep of The Final Word. Can't stop, won't stop. The women's World Cup finals are imminent, so we look ahead to those contests. Also moves are afoot for women's T20 comps in Pakistan and India, while the England men's Test team get thumped once again, this time by West Indies.

It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, it's our last night in Pakistan, so there's a very special configuration: with Adam already on the way to the airport and Geoff a few hours away from doing the same, Bharat Sundaresan joins TFW as a guest host for the first time. Safe to say that this episode gets extremely Bharat.
