    Emergency pod: Stokes! This is the last thing we wanted to happen...

    Following the shock announcement of Ben Stokes’ retirement from International Cricket, Greg, Jimmy and Felix try to make sense of a dramatic week at Trent Bridge. So many questions…..Why now? Who will be the new Captain? What next for Baz? Will Ben change his mind? Why are talking about legendary photographer Martin Parr and Archduke Franz Ferdinand? Plus the joy of watching New Zealand play and history made for Ireland.

    Hot and Unhinged

    Despite it being 200 degrees and Sharky insisting all fans and air con are turned off (it’s too noisy) the Tailenders assemble to review the Mens 2nd Test between England and New Zealand, heap praise on Matt Henry, marvel at Joe Root’s 14,000 runs and ask is it ok for Rock Stars to wear shorts? Plus some Stat Bombs from Andy Zaltzman, Mattchin’s mystery holiday meeting, and can the Tailenders community help Issy Wong finish her World Cup Sticker album?

    What’s Your Favourite Curfew?

    Untenable

    Is the IPL, the biggest franchise tournament in World Cricket, becoming boring, predictable, too batter friendly and in need of a shakeup? Plus a lookahead to the 1st Mens Test between England and New Zealand at Lord’s - can England bounce back from their Ashes defeat? The return of ‘General Cricketing Sadness’, A.I. Slop, a very ‘high concept’ quiz from Mattchin and why ‘Untenable’ might be word of the summer.

    The Greatest Fielder of All Time: Jonty Rhodes

    Jonty Rhodes, one of our favourite cricketers ever and arguably the best fielder the game has ever seen, is our very special guest this week. A whole generation of cricket fans, including us, grew up watching Jonty do things on a cricket field that had never been seen before - extraordinary catches, diving stops and ridiculous run outs - a proper pioneer. In a wide ranging interview we cover his career highlights, the players he now admires, the art of fielding, THAT 1999 World Cup Semi Final, investing in franchise cricket, coaching in the IPL and crucially which character in ’The Lion King’ does he most resemble? Plus Mattchin is back with a ‘Jonty Rhodes’ inspired quiz.

    Left Arm Spin Special: Ashley Giles.

    The King of Spain, Ashley Giles, is our special guest on this week’s Tailenders. Inevitably we travel back to the 2005 Ashes series - the greatest series of all time -  but also reflections on the highs and lows of professional sport, the genius of Richie Benaud, bowling to Brian Lara, the Art of Spin and the challenges of running Worcs CCC.  Plus Mattchin has a new feature ‘Village People’ as he seeks to discover the underbelly of Village Cricket.

    1 Std. 7 Min.

    Tailenders Army Bootcamp

    Our very own Issy Wong has been selected for the England T20 World Cup Squad - but what was it like waiting for THAT call? Plus what happened when the T20 Squad went on an Army Bootcamp, Jimmy kicks off about the Substitute rule in County Cricket, tech issues (has Jimmy been hacked by The Russians?), billage cricket sponsorship, Felix has a radical idea to improve post match interviews, and we have LOTS of homework for the Tailenders listeners.,
