The Final Word Cricket Podcast

New year, new me. This is 2021's first Story Time, our dance through the history of cricket. This week returns to our favourite defenestrator, the most important runs in a run of five draws, and a new Dusty Old Bastard by the name of Septimus. And that’s just in the first half hour before we return to numbers we got wrong in the past, plus your correspondence from the Christmas and New Year break. It's great to be back.

Season 9, Ep 15: Few bowlers have enjoyed playing at Sydney more that Stuart MacGill, appropriately so given his iconic initials. So, ahead of this Harbour City Test Match, we present our interview with the former Australian leggie from our Patreon Live Show in November. He’s honest, forthright and emotional about what spinning for his country meant to him, with a deep love of the game that has never dimmed.       Your Nerd Pledge numbers are:  2.35 – Tom Humphreys & Sam King.  6.30 – Adam Jones.   Send us a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalword  Find previous episodes at  finalwordcricket.com  Check out CBUS Super at   https://www.cbussuper.com.au/thefinalword  Message from anywhere on earth with your ZOLEO, at zoleo.com  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 14: Happy New Year! Load up your glasses and turn on the show in the final hours of one year or the fresh ones of the next. The terrible times of 2020 are behind us, and the indistinct times of 2021 are ahead. So what were the best and worst, the highs and the lows? We'll head around the cricket world, to Bangladesh and South Africa, Southampton and Mount Maunganui, in and out of bubbles, to the players and matches and moments that defined the year for us. We'll also talk about the Sydney Test against India in a fashion that will already be out of date now that new COVID cases have been detected in Melbourne – but hey, that's 2020. Thanks so much for listening this year, and here's hoping the next is as good on the podcast, and much better off it.
