Bharat Week comes to an end

It has been all Bharat all the time - with he and Geoff in Adelaide together, we did four Daily shows, the live Story Time at the Ark, and the weekly show on Monday.

Now we're into a new phase, with the England tour of India about to start, where Cam Ponsonby will be reporting back for TFW. Bharat will be with West Indies in Brisbane.

This week is also Birchgrove Week, because our mighty TFW XI is playing in Sydney on Friday. We're aiming to have a live stream available on the YouTube channel. Keep an eye on it from late morning local time, or get onto Discord.

And this Wednesday email is even going out on Wednesday, at least in some countries. 

Lloyd Pope as played by Ben Mendelsohn

Season 15, Episode 21: Lloyd Pope ripped up the Big Bash this week, but he hasn't been talking to the cops. He wouldn't do that. Usman Khawaja's jaw is ok. There has been a soup of T20 international cricket, in which Zimbabwe beat Sri Lanka (once) and Pakistan beat New Zealand (even more once), while India needed three attempts to beat Afghanistan (once). Zimbabwe's women had a rare tie with Ireland, and there's plenty to talk about when it comes to the yet-to-be-built temporary stadium in New York.

Your Nerd Pledge for this week:
3.10 - Indi

Here's the episode.

(If you're confused by all of this Ben Mendelsohn chat, start with this short video. Then watch the movie Animal Kingdom. And the movie Cosi. That last one isn't relevant to this bit, it's just great Mendo.)

Story Time 166 – The secrets of Gubby Allen: live in Adelaide

This show comes to you LIVE from the Arkaba Hotel in Adelaide, the evening after the West Indies Test, with a room full of people who were split about 50/50 in terms of being there for the show or being confused by the show. Was Gubby Allen a prick? Can you combine erotic dancing with batting? What is the most unusual scorecard occurrence across innings? Who was the most prolific player of all time? Find out.

Your Nerd Pledge numbers this week:

Here is Story Time.

Clock in for the Double Dailies coming up, then there's a big Story Time revisit show as soon as the Tests are done.

And if you're in Sydney, come down to Birchgrove! From about 10:30am.
