The end of Season 11
Added 2022-04-13 05:47:59 +0000 UTCThat's right. We're catching up a bit here, with Daniel Norcross doing some swing shifts to allow Adam and Geoff each some post-Pakistan rest for body and soul. If you missed it, here is last week's weekly show, coming just after the Women's World Cup final, which makes this episode the very last for Season 11 of The Final Word.
Our seasons move with the cricket, changing over as northern and southern hemispheres pass the baton back and forth between them. From here for the coming months, it will be about the ripening spring of the north and the gentling autumn of the antipodes.
Season 11, Ep 23: With a new English season preparing to bloom, we're joined by Essex recruit Matt Critchley, who we're tipping will take the nation by storm over the coming months. But before coming to what’s ahead of us, there’s the little matter of Australia’s barnstorming World Cup win with some time taken to consider the challenges for those trying to catch the world champs three years from now.

The weekend preceding, with Norcross in harness alongside Geoff, it was perhaps not coincidental that the show was all about leg-spinners and long-distant Caribbean cricket.
