TFW India Daily, and the show with Dawid Malan

The Daily Show has started. And Adam is here! It's Day 2 at Adelaide at the time of posting, and we're together at last. We won't post them on this page, but check your pod feed for the short dailies during the four Australia-India Tests.

We will post:

Season 9, Ep 12: There’s never been a higher ranked international T20 batsman than Dawid Malan and it just so happens to be that he is quarantining down the corridor from Adam. No better time, then, to get him on to pace through his eventful journey in the professional game over the last decade and a half. Before the interview, we take a look at Australia’s selection considerations ahead of the First Test against India, cross the ditch to recap New Zealand’s big win at Wellington and Daniel Norcross gets to the bottom of how the Coronavirus really got a head of stream.

And before that was this:

Story Time 28, plus Adam Mountford on the future of commentary

Another weekend, more stories – this time with a strong Australia v India theme ahead of the Test series. What’s Geoff’s Angel Number? When was the only time a ten-for was taken in the Ranji Trophy? The questions we also consider. There’s time for a Dusty Old Bastard and a Paul Kelly ode reimagined. After the break, from the Calling the Shots documentary we have our full interview with the man who makes Test Match Special sing, the programme’s long-term producer, Adam Mountford.

(Sorry about the audio quality in the first half hour, blame it on quarantine)

Is that enough to be going on with? There'll be no Story Time on December 26 or January 2, so we can have some semblance of a break for Christmas and the New Year, but the usual weekly shows will still go up, as will the Melbourne daily show. 

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! 

(Lots of love.)
