Season 11, Ep 4: Four wickets in four balls. The talking point of the cricket week, after Curtis Campher did it for Ireland. Scotland also had a win after a huge comeback, so we got Matt Roller from Cricinfo to make his Final Word debut, telling us all about the early T20 World Cup quallies, warm-ups, and the IPL final. Also on the show this week: Brazil's women start their next campaign, the Mr Sheffield Shield is back, the WBBL beings, the county champo has yet another format, and Cricket Australia are being pointlessly stubborn about making things much harder than they need to be. What a surprise.

The Daily will return for the T20 World Cup, starting this Saturday night / Sunday morning. A dose of 15 to 20 minutes to give you all the detail of the matches you don't have time to watch. Dan Norcross will be sharing duties across the tournament, with possibly a couple of other friends of the show popping in as well.
Last weekend was all about the city of Bruce Springsteen's song and Ben Simmons' nightmares: Philadelphia. Also, get set for the Triple Century Knob Index, and the start of our mission to learn more about Australian pioneer Una Paisley. If you know Val Slater, get in touch!
