Beergate, Ballgate, Gabriel Gaté

Season 14, Episode 30: In their new book, White Hot, journalists (and Final Word regulars) Tim Wigmore and Matt Roller have documented the dominance of the England men's white-ball team, looking at how they went from relative easybeats at the 2015 World Cup in Australia to dual world champions in the same country seven years later. It's a great tale superbly told both in print and in this interview, with England's 50-over defence the next major assignment - starting in just two months from now.Pick up a copy of White Hot, The Inside Story of England Cricket’s Double World Champions: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/white-hot-9781399411639/Support the show with a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalwordSign up to learn about all the Lord's Taverners projects at bit.ly/tavssignupFind previous episodes at finalwordcricket.comTitle track by Urthboy Learn more about your ad choices.

Stephen Fry

Season 14, Episode 29: He is just about everybody's favourite, and it's obvious why. Stephen Fry has been a comedy and literary hero for Geoff and Adam, starting with his work on Blackadder and with Hugh Laurie, and building through the decades.

So all these years later he ended up spending a year as president of the Marylebone Cricket Club - both part of and subject to a time of great change. We sit down with Stephen to talk about change, creativity, collaboration, and the difficulties of fighting any sort of system.Support the show with a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalwordSign up to learn about all the Lord's Taverners projects at bit.ly/tavssignupFind previous episodes at finalwordcricket.comTitle track by Urthboy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Ashes Daily farewell - a look back at the series we saw

The Ashes, 5th Test at The Oval, Day 5: IT IS OVER. We started the day with a chaseable target remaining for Australia. We stopped in the middle for a long time for rain. But either side of that, the series built to the kind of climax that it deserved. Steve Smith was there. So was Moeen Ali. Ben Stokes was involved. As was Travis Head. Chris Woakes did his thing. Todd Murphy was terrific.

The Ashes, 5th Test at The Oval, Day 4: While we were recording the Day 3 Daily show, Stuart Broad decided to retire. Not a helpful piece of timing for podcasters, but very good timing for Broad, who explained his decision as eloquently as ever and has a strong rationale. One of the great Ashes competitors, amongst a far broader career that deserves to be recognised as well, we thought that Stuart Broad was worth an episode of his own.

Ashes Daily - The Oval Day 3, 2023

Cricket for everyone – your friendly guide to the world's strangest sport. Geoff Lemon and Adam Collins combine match analysis with irreverence, politics and cricket history as they follow the game they love around the world and run in-depth interviews with guests. You can support the show at patreon.com/thefinalword.

Geoff and Adam are simply the best when it comes to talking all things cricket... with the occasional Australian cultural reference thrown in for more mirth.

Hands down the best cricket podcast

This is one of my favorite cricket podcasts. Very insightful and super funny. One small suggestion is that you could devote a couple of minutes each podcast or perhaps every other podcast providing some explanations for us that are new-ish to the game. Cricket is a game that has such a steep learning curve, and beautifully odd terminology, that I think this would help to grow the fan base for the game, particularly here in the US. Specially useful would be information on the state of the pitch, and why it matters, as well as bowling lengths and lines. For instance, a mini-lesson on the state of the pitch could have been sneaked in during the discussion of whether Australia should have batted first on the first day of the fifth test at the Oval. Obviously you don’t want to spend too much time and bore the knowledgeable listeners, but just a couple of minutes would do.

Love the podcast, small suggestion.

World Cup Daily: Day 29

Barney Douglas

Felix White

Season 6, Ep 7: The Edge is a new documentary about the urge to be the best in the world, and the human toll it can take to get there. Barney Douglas toured with the England team from their humiliation in the West Indies in 2009, through their gruelling years of training before winning in Australia in 2011, then their eventual collapse in Australia in 2013. He used his trove of archival footage along with new interviews to bring the story to life. Then he teamed up with Felix White, of the Tailenders cricket podcast and the Maccabees band, to write the score. Together they've produced a beautiful look at human strength and weakness through the lens of cricket, and they sat down to share that process with us.The Final Word is produced by Bad Producer Productions. Listen to all of our episodes at finalwordcricket.com.Support the show: https://patreon.com/thefinalwordSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Final Word with Patrick Cummins

Season 8, Ep 1: That’s right, it’s time for a new Final Word season. A season in which very little cricket may be played, but much cricket will be played in our hearts. A season in which the real cricket will be the friends we make along the way. Thanks so much to everyone who has joined in to support the show in the last week. We’ll keep doing it. One of the best pastimes in isolation has been watching the new documentary series The Test, a view from within the Australian men’s team in the 18 months after the sandpaper affair. Series director Adrian Brown joins Adam to tell how the show came to exist. Also, have you ever wondered what someone sounds like trying to talk beneath a layer of custard? Geoff can demonstrate. Adam is in full UK lockdown. Daniel Norcross is reworking the dystopian alternate ending to World War II. Winnie is extremely vocal. Cat Cricket is sweeping the internet. Sachin Tendulkar has some birthday wishes. Shane Warne owns a gin company. The people cry in one voice for the 2005 Ashes. The man behind Robelinda2 emerges as the people’s champion. There’s Nerd Pledge, letters, and more.  Our Nerd Pledge numbers for this week are: 2.03 (from James Moosh) 3.69 (from Jake Garlick 2.21 (from Andrew Gilbertson) 3.29 (from Dane Hansted) Guess away.

Nasser Hussain

Season 8, Ep 2: Nasser Hussain. He’s known for Karachi in the dark, for the toss at Brisbane, for Hansie’s leather jacket, so we talked about none of these things.For over an hour we sat down and talked about everything else: about the boy who played in India’s Chepauk stadium but went on to captain England, about the teenage leg-spinner who was forced to change arts, about the young hothead who became a shrewd tactician. About rebuilding a broken side, building a team that went on to great things, then becoming one of the most respected commentators in the game.Nasser was as forthright and thoughtful as you might expect if you’ve seen him interview anyone else.
