Boom Boom, Barassi, and Kiwis at Lord's
Added 2021-06-03 03:29:57 +0000 UTCAnother large week has begun. We decided spur of the moment to do the Final Word Daily for the England-NZ Test at Lord's, because why not with Adam at the ground and Geoff in lockdown for those 5am finishes. The video is above, the audio is here.
Only hours before that went out, we published:
Boom Boom boom boom, I want Shahid Afridi in my room
Season 10, Episode 6: Daniel Brettig joins the show to discuss Cricket Australia's new and old appointment as CEO, as well as Dan's own appointment at The Age. We look at a crazy year in the life of Boom Boom Afridi, the upcoming Test between England and New Zealand, the arrival home at last for Australia's players, another round of political strife in Afghanistan cricket, the county wrap and the new World Cup format.

Story Time 49 – The Brisbane Line and the Barassi Line
