The Final Word Cricket Podcast

We spend a lot of time talking about our Nerds. But this weekend on Story Time, we pay tribute to our Julios. After that, we get to work solving the puzzles that have stumped us over the Christmas period, from Charlotte Edwards to Cam White; Pat Pocock to Min Patel. And we’re never far away from Clem Hill or Chesney Hawkes.   Our Julios are:  Peter Pohlman  Trent Grimes  Andy Slee   Tom Fisher  George Randell  Adam Towns  Cian Seymour  Adrian Samms  James Durey  Stephen Jones  Miraj Vora  Isaac Heming  John McGill  Mark Xerri  Ryan Thomas  Mich de Waal  Bharat Agarwal  Charlie Gresty  Robert Drummond  Brent Simmonds  Mike Brown  Matt Fried  Adrien Muller  Elliott Olivier  Peter Arnold-Nott Send us a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalword  Find previous episodes at  finalwordcricket.com  Help out the Lord’s Taverners in 2021: www.lordstaverners.org  Check out CBUS Super at   https://www.cbussuper.com.au/thefinalword Get Geoff’s new book The Comeback Summer  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.

Season 9, Ep 17: Sometimes an interview comes along that knocks our socks off. We all think that we know Marcus Stoinis: the big smile, the big sixes, the cheekiness, the time in the gym. We expected to talk to Marcus about his career, but instead the conversation went somewhere else: cricket as the backdrop to the rest of his life, the years of trying to take care of his family while nursing and losing his father. We often don't know how a conversation will turn out, and that was never more the case than here. Also this week our reaction to India's final Test win over Australia, and England's nervous result against a determined Sri Lanka.

Season 9, Ep 16: One of the more pointless furores of our time must be about Steve Smith scraping his foot on the pitch in the Sydney Test. On this week's show we go into the detail of that one which has been mostly overlooked. We also look at Tim Paine's apology for losing his cool, racism from the SCG stands, and England's upcoming Test series in Sri Lanka. Plus some Nerd Pledge and a very unexpected Super Performer of the Week.
