Tailenders BBC Radio 5 Live

The Tailenders go on a ’school trip’ to the McLaren Technology Centre (MTC) to meet Australian Formula One driver and cricket fan Oscar Piastri.
There’s an impromptu game of cricket on a somewhat uneven pitch, Oscar talks about his love of the game and gives the guys a tour of some of the classic McLaren cars on display.
Plus Felix, who has never learnt to drive, gets some tips from Oscar on how to handle a Formula One Car before having a go in a F1 simulator.

An Emergency Podcast of sorts. The Tailenders assembled last night to react to the USA’s shock win over Pakistan in the Men's T20 World Cup, this just a few hours after recording the podcast in the afternoon and saying how ‘unexciting' the tournament was. Plus we’re joined by Olympic Rowers and Tailenders Tom George and Ollie Wynne-Griffith as they prepare for Paris 2024.

The Windy Gantry at The Oval is the location for latest Tailenders as Greg, Jimmy and Felix preview the Men's T20 World Cup. Jimmy outlines his ‘England Starting XI’, Mattchin’s back with his ‘rolled over quiz’, complete with new theme tune and there’s a surprise for Sharky.

More on Jimmy’s retirement, including Mattchin’s list of ’things’ Jimmy can now do. Plus listener emails, a ticket dilemma, theatre reviews and almost a quiz.

Jimmy assembled the team as he’s got something to tell the Tailenders listeners...

Issy Wong is back on the pod with news of her England team bonding weekend in the the lakes, the WIPL and a preview of the up coming white ball series with Pakistan which starts at Edgbaston on Saturday. Plus is there too much men's cricket in the summer? Can VAR learn from DRS? Also Mattchin has yet another new quiz - ‘Rear Review Mirror’ - and plans are afoot to ’supersize’ a village match.
