    Tymal Mills: Fast Bowling and Franchises

    Fast bowler Tymal Mills is our special guest on this week’s show and is the subject of one of Mattchin’s most bizarre quizzical concepts in the history of Tailenders - and that’s saying something. Plus who should get the nod for England, playing with legends, the ups and downs of franchise cricket and what’s it like to get 6 wickets in 6 balls….we chat to the bowler who did just that and broke the ‘cricketing internet’.

Plus ‘Mattchin Time’, Restaurant recommendations, Listener ‘Alternative XIs’, Health tips from Justin Rose, Correspondence of Uncertainty and what has driven a wedge in Greg and Felix’s friendship?

    A Live Crisis (aka Good Headaches)

    So due to a scheduling clash things went a bit awry on this week’s recording - but then Greg had a ‘stupid idea’. Cue: #Tailendersoftheworlduniteandtakeover in ‘live’ action. Plus: Happy A-IPL Fools Day; which cricketers are cats and which are dogs?; a sort of County Cricket preview; and why might Daniel Radcliffe open the batting for Lancs?

    A review of a review. This week we’re joined by Vithushan Ehantharajah, associate editor at ESPNcricinfo to try and make sense of the Review into the Mens Ashes Series - which England lost 4-1. Plus how cricket helped Greg on his epic Comic Relief Cycling Challenge, what’s the minimum number of slides needed for a Powerpoint presentation and Mattchin most definitely does not rip off ‘Would I Lie To You?’.

Plus Fe joins Greg for part of his epic Comic Relief Bike Ride, details of ‘County Day 2026’, faith healers and I’ve got 99 problems but Liam Livingstone ain’t one.

    Emergency Podcast: Semi-final thriller

    What a match in Mumbai! England nearly pulled off a 'cricketing miracle' in a game that saw almost 500 runs scored. The Tailenders assemble - complete with Issy Wong and her Network Of Spies - to look back at an extraordinary semi final that resulted in India making it to the Mens T20 World Cup Final where they will face New Zealand. Plus Mattchin goes deep into the data (sort of) to find out what makes New Zealand such a cricketing force. AND find out why Fe won’t listen to Jimi Hendrix...
