Story Time 71 – Oversized shorts and a filthy polo

It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. Back from the hospital, stitched up and ready to run, here is the second part of our Revisits Only show to clean the slate before launching into the Australian summer. Adam is on a plane to Australia, Geoff will head to Brisbane shortly. And this episode was recorded before Tim Paine fell to an ill-advised stroke, so you won't hear about that here. You will hear about some other moments of impulsiveness, a debut rearguard, a first date made possible by Adam Gilchrist, and one of the most spiteful series ever played that is massively underrated in the shithousery stakes. As well, of course, as a very special night in Canberra.Featuring Nerd Pledge revisits for:13.90 – Anthony Radford1.80 - Chris Clarke3.18 - Thilo Fob4.60 - Robert Dinsbury Dinsey6.26 - Jack Firth2.00 - Jack Frantz4.60 - Michael Fallon2.43 - Simon Ward1.54 - Shane Fagg2.36 - Keiron Costello3.83 - Jayaprakash Send us a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalwordFind other episodes at finalwordcricket.com Get your hands on your free Brick Lane four-pack from bricklanebrewing.com/pages/thefinalwordGet 20% off Woodstock Cricket kit with code TFW20 at woodstockcricket.co.ukGet 44% off a Wisden Cricket Monthly subscription at bit.ly/wcmtfw See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
