The Final Word with Trent Woodhill
Added 2020-09-06 09:31:06 +0000 UTCSeason 8, Ep 26: Trent Woodhill is one of the most versatile people in cricket: coach, trusted mentor, adviser, ideas man. This was a good time to pick his brain, from the bubble in Southampton where he is currently on tour as one of Justin Langer’s assistant coaches. Daniel Norcross is riding shotgun this week, with Geoff buried in editing his book, so we looked at England's T20 internationals against Pakistan (past) and Australia (future), reviewed the legacy of Colin Graves as ECB boss, and got Ben Horne on the phone to look at Cricket Australia’s brawl with Channel Seven.

On the weekend beforehand was Story Time 13, now that we've gone back and worked out what all the earlier episodes should be named.
Instead of an encore interview, we had a shorter chat with England opener Jason Roy about missing the IPL. The Story Time wander through cricket history includes the link between ancient spinners Don Blackie and Bert Ironmonger, the record that Sachin couldn’t reach, Jenny Owens turning the ball both ways, Virat Kohli doubling up, the endless quest for 557, Curtly Ambrose cutting sick at the MCG, and one of our favourites in Bobby Peel drunk in the shower again.

Thanks again to everyone for listening and for all the correspondence. It's been fun.
