Kohli hands back the crown

Lots happening in Final Word world. Adam has landed back in London to tackle Winifred. Geoff is sitting in Hobart doing the covid thing, well timed after the fifth Test and before the women's Test in Canberra. Before all that, we managed to record our last show together until Pakistan, which will be here before we know it.

TFW XI match in Sydney

With live shows off the table, outdoor things can take their place. We are going ahead with our match against Peter Lewis' team on the lovely turf wicket at Birchgrove Oval on the 26th. Roll up from around 10:30am, play from about 11. 

If you want to be in the TFW XI, which may not strictly be 11 people, hit up the Discord channel for this purpose. Or chance your hand with a DM. We need to catch up on those, apologies for slow replies during Ashes season.

Virat Kohli hands back the crown - with Harsha Bhogle

Season 11, Ep 13: It didn't seem like it would happen for years, but it happened quickly in the end. Virat Kohli is no longer India's captain in any format, resigning from the Test job after a hard-fought 2-1 loss in South Africa. He burned fiercely and for a long time, but perhaps in the end burned out. Harsha Bhogle has watched Kohli's life more closely than most, and joins us to help understand it. Also, men's Ashes aftermath and women's Ashes instability.

Win a Zoleo and help us out

Let's be straight with one another: Zoleo helped us a lot by sponsoring the Ashes Daily, and they wanted to get people entering a competition to win one of their magic satellite boxes. Worth over a grand in Aussie dollars, for basically filling out an email address. So if you'd like to help us make them happy, do jump in. Here.

One Ashes done, another about to begin. Onwards.
