It's lucky Season 13!

The southern hemisphere's season is underway, and that makes this The Final Word Season 13. It's been a busy three or four years since we went full time. Over 500 episodes now in the feed, over 100 Story Times, and dozens of cricketers have evolved into Final Word favourites. None more than...

Story Time 108 – Unravelling the longest name in cricket

This week, we deal with no fewer than SIXTEEN revisits in quite possibly our longest Story Time yet. What didn’t we talk about?

The Women's Ashes of 2017, with Charles Dagnall.

Archive episodes

We've posted the first two episodes of Season 4, going all the way back to 2017 with the Bairstow-Bancroft headbutt episode from the Gabba, our men's Ashes preview, and our Women's Ashes wrap with an interview with Ellyse Perry. Come to think of it, she might have been the first current player we ever had on the show. 

That only leaves our first three seasons to be loaded, with a comparative handful of episodes, from the short seasons we did for the ABC. 

We'll both be in Australia later this week: Geoff's road trip across North America is done, thanks to this beast of a van that peeled off 20,000 kilometres in the last three months.
