The Double Don Sachin sandwich

Season 10, Ep 19: Happy Birthday Sachin is back in a  big way, in a temporarily upside-down episode. There's a 7 in the  morning now? The Australian summer is upside down, with the women's  series against India suddenly moved to the Sunshine State. Plus all the  wash-up from the Headingley Test, a farewell to Lord Ted Dexter, and  England's domestic summer winds on.

Story Time weekend off

We won't have time to get a show done this weekend, with three days between Tests, the midweek show, and Adam assembling a broadcast. Apologies, we'll be back on the train ASAP.

Story Time 60 – Red Stripe and Jamaican Green

We do have Story Time from last weekend, incuding the tale when Adam met some gentlemen in the Caribbean who were working to uphold the reputation of Australians overseas, one Orchy bottle at a time. This image featured prominently in discussion.

There's a detour from there up to Canada, and to see which number ended up as so many women's career best. When was the most Durham team that ever Durhamed? And which other cricket podcast would include the sentence "Hugh Tayfield loved to f**k"?

Also! Daniel Norcross rejoins us for a moment, for one last look at the famous 9.04.

The Final Word Daily

Is up and running on the YouTube channel again, as in the clip up top, and in the podcast feed. Choose whichever takes your fancy. We're playing plenty of shots on these. 

Thanks as always for taking the ride with us - going up to seven shows a week at times would not happen without it. We got past Jimmy Anderson again by the end of the month, but he's taken back the lead. The battle continues. 

Adam & Geoff.
