The Final Word Cricket Podcast Adam Collins, Geoff Lemon

It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, a Dusty Old Bastard with a twist - an ideas man with fast hands who loved his state. Or did he love a dead queen? We also go near and far for milestones just missed in women's Tests, take more than an initial look at the longest name in first-class cricket, and hear the most satisfying ringtone cricket has ever provided us, from the night when Adam turned 21.

T20 World Cup Daily, 2024, Day 13: England v Oman, West Indies v NZ, Sri Lanka v Nepal, Netherlands v Bangladesh.
After all of those days of talking about England's net run rate, it turns out there was nothing to worry about. The equation changed sharply after today's game in Antigua. No such luck for New Zealand, Sri Lanka, or Nepal, though Bangladesh have helped their chances and Netherlands stay alive.

T20 World Cup Daily, 2024, Day 11: Pakistan v Canada
As far as must-win games go, this was very must and not very win for Pakistan, who once again had to wade into the fray at New York's new cricket stadium, and faced another cricket upstart with big energy in Canada. Aaron Johnson smashed a bunch, and it took all of Pakistan's fast-bowling wiles to keep things under control. Then, it was once more to the chase...

Season 16, Episode 9: David 'Bumble' Lloyd was one of our most entertaining guests way back in the early days of the pandemic. He's back with us today to check in after making 88 not out on debut for the Lancashire Over 70s last week and he has his eye on some unfinished business from 1974-75... a return to the England team? The voice of associate cricket, Andrew Leonard, is also on the show after a mighty first week for the lower-ranked teams in the T20 World Cup. Meanwhile, Geoff and Adam's chat jumps from domestic comps to Pat Cummins' life after cricket to the Australian honours list.
