Scribes of the shortest form
Added 2019-10-11 10:24:59 +0000 UTCA lot of people don't take T20 cricket seriously. At the Final Word, we're kind of agnostic. But our guests on this show are the real enthusiasts: Tim Wigmore and Freddie Wilde, who have written a book together on the 16-year history of the men's side of the (currently) shortest game.
We say 'currently' because this week we also cover the launch of the Hundred, after finally getting our eyes on the chip-packet uniforms, the team branding, and the marketing copy. Oh, the marketing copy. Prepare for a performance.
Plus there was a lot of big hitting as Australia's women beat Sri Lanka even as Chamari Atapattu hit back, and we farewelled England's wicketkeeping wonder Sarah Taylor into international retirement.
