Season 9, Ep 11: Geoff's new book is in shops across Australia and the UK, so we'll roleplay an interview. And so much cricket: Will Pucovski's injury, Maxi getting inside the Indians' heads, captaincy shuffles and Cam Green, tactical arguments, Test opening shuffles, England bailing from South Africa, Kane Williamson dominating the Fake Green Mamba, Jermaine Blackwood back on his style, some Glastonbury tinges to Nerd Pledge, and the Zoleo saves lives once again.
Your Nerd Pledge numbers are:
19.17 – Danny McGee.
2.67 – Samuel Nemzer & Alex Capel.
The Comeback Summer online orders are here for Aus and the UK. For other countries, Book Depository might be your best option with free shipping. If anyone in Australia wants their book scribbled in and you're going to be at a Test match, drop us a message.
Then for the weekend The Final Word time machine takes us to visit Jack Ryder and Clem Hill, triple tons and prison. Also, a Sussex mainstay who couldn’t stop and wouldn’t stop. We solve the Venn Diagram question via a fellow who just could not sell a car. After those tales, we'll have the full interview for the first time with acclaimed comedian and BBC statistician, Andy Zaltzman, from the files of the documentary Calling The Shots.
Your Nerd Pledge numbers are:
2.95 – Steve Denner
3.55 – Real Victor Trumper
1.91 – Sam Ashworth
3.19 – Eranda Jayawickreme
4.23 – Jeremy Henderson
