Sunrise in Lockdown
Added 2020-03-25 18:24:51 +0000 UTCSeason 8 of the Final Word begins today. A time of renewal. A season in which little cricket may be played, but much cricket will be played in our hearts. A season in which the real cricket may be the friends we make along the way.
Thanks so much to everyone who has joined in to support the show since the shit hit the fan. We’ll keep doing it.
One of the best pastimes in isolation has been watching documentary series The Test, a view from within the Australian men’s team in the 18 months after sandpaper. Series director Adrian Brown joins Adam to tell how the show came to exist.
Also, have you ever wondered what someone sounds like trying to talk beneath a layer of custard? Geoff can demonstrate. Adam is in UK lockdown. Daniel Norcross is reworking the dystopian alternate ending to World War II. Winnie is vocal. Cat Cricket is sweeping the internet. Sachin Tendulkar has some birthday wishes. Shane Warne owns a gin company. The people cry in one voice for the 2005 Ashes. The man behind Robelinda2 emerges as their champion. There’s Nerd Pledge, letters, and more.
Our numbers this week are:
2.03 (from James Moosh)
3.69 (from Jake Garlick
2.21 (from Andrew Gilbertson)
3.29 (from Dane Hansted)
