In other news, Big Ange is on the way out (not that one), Ireland are making runs, Hayley Matthews is screaming into the void, and The Dicks are together again for the WTC final.Support the show with a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalwordWe have 47 runners in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival.Donate to get us to our £30k fundraising target for The Lord's Taverners.Tickets for our Wormsley match, August 18: uk.emma-live.com/WormsleyFinal2025 Subscribe to Wisden and never pay full price for the Almanack again: www.wisdenalmanack.com/subscribeGet your big NordVPN discount: nordvpn.com/tfwSort out expat finances with Odin Mortgage & Tax: odinmortgage.com/partner/the-final-wordMaurice Blackburn Lawyers - fighting for the rights of workers since 1919: mauriceblackburn.com.auGet 10% off Glenn Maxwell's sunnies: t20vision.com/FINALWORDSave more, earn more—up to 4.22% AER (variable).

Can Ben Duckett see over BlessingMuzarabani’s pads? Why we shouldn’t write off England’s bowlers for Sean Williams getting on top of them. Will the accurate Sam Cook’s 78mph top speed be an issue for more potent batting lineups? Will Josh Tongue be the key bowler of the summer? Could Zimbabwe have taken a bit more of a gamble on Day 1 to alter the course of the Test?

England v Zimbabwe, Trent Bridge Test, Day 2:Cameron Ponsonby joins Daniel Norcross. DONATE TO OUR EDINBURGH RUNNERS BELOW. Zimbabwe put up the fight that many thought was beyond them, or did they? Depends on the time of day and who you ask. Has Brian Bennett played the innings of the summer? Has Mark Butcher delivered the whimsy of the summer? England’s bowlers enforced the follow-on, but will it count for those who don’t want it to? In a zero-sum situation, we may have seen Shoaib Bashir's turning point.

England Zimbabwe Daily, Lord's Test, Day 1: It's England Test season, with Zimbabwe back for the first time in 22 years - but they may wish they'd given it a miss, after England piled up the runs.

Season 18, Episode 14: It's almost northern Test summer time, with Ben Stokes out of hibernation, Zimbabwe playing warm-ups, and the Australian and South African IPL players... heading back to India to finish the delayed season. Ah well. Meanwhile, Cam Green makes runs while Marnus doesn't, the South African squad is named, West Indies have a new captain, Middlesex is more into Virat Kohli than Kohli is into Middlesex, and Charlotte Edwards' first squad doesn't include Sophie Ecclestone, which might mean one of two very different things.Support the show with a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalwordWe have 47 runners in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival.Donate to get us to our £30k fundraising target for The Lord's Taverners.Tickets for our Wormsley match, August 18: uk.emma-live.com/WormsleyFinal2025 Subscribe to Wisden and never pay full price for the Almanack again: www.wisdenalmanack.com/subscribeGet your big NordVPN discount: nordvpn.com/tfwSort out expat finances with Odin Mortgage & Tax: odinmortgage.com/partner/the-final-wordMaurice Blackburn Lawyers - fighting for the rights of workers since 1919: mauriceblackburn.com.auGet 10% off Glenn Maxwell's sunnies: t20vision.com/FINALWORDSave more, earn more—up to 4.22% AER (variable).

Season 18, Episode 13: To those who question Kohli's place as a Test great because he didn't average enough or quite make enough career runs, it is fair to say we do not agree. And his old teammate Rohit Sharma went alright too.

Season 18, Episode 12: Why did one of South Africa’s best, Kyle Abbott, pack in international cricket at the peak of his powers at age 29 in favour of going full-time as a county cricketer? It’s a question the big quick he’s been asked many times since 2017 when he arrived at Hampshire, from that point going on to become one of the most consistently excellent players on the circuit. A terrific person to spend an hour with, ahead of another round where he’s been at his most dominant. We thank him for his candour and honesty on a whole range of topics.

Over the years, Tim Wigmore has penned several superb books, and this might be his best yet. Joining Daniel Norcross at lunch during a recent Surrey game, he sat down to discuss the book he wrote because it is the one he would like to read – always a good place to start. From Test cricket’s conception, he maps the lot: scarcity and status, empire to expansion, racism and rivalries, existential angst to equipment. It’s underpinned by extensive interviews with some of the greatest to have ever done it, exploring the intrigue of a form of the game that we hold so dear yet would not emerge if it were invented today.

Season 18 Episode 10: A left-handed opener from Perth who grew up idolising Justin Langer, in Marcus Harris you have a player who was meant to fit a certain mould. But over his long professional career, which started in 2011 when he smashed a big ton as an 18-year-old in his third game for WA, the 32-year-old has been on a journey that has seen his game evolve into the finished product following stints in the Test team. County cricket has been a significant part of that. He is currently at Lancashire in his fifth championship season, developing consistency that has confounded expectations of what his best might look like if he gets the chance for Australia again. A most engaging guest, he takes us through the rollercoaster ride and the calm that has followed.Support the show with a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalwordTickets for our Wormsley match, August 18: uk.emma-live.com/WormsleyFinal2025 Subscribe to the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack and never pay RRP for it again: www.wisdenalmanack.com/subscribeGet your big NordVPN discount: nordvpn.com/tfwWe have 47 runners in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival.Donate to get us to our £30k fundraising target for The Lord's Taverners.Sort out expat finances with Odin Mortgage & Tax: odinmortgage.com/partner/the-final-wordMaurice Blackburn Lawyers - fighting for the rights of workers since 1919: mauriceblackburn.com.auGet 10% off Glenn Maxwell's sunnies: t20vision.com/FINALWORDSave more, earn more—up to 4.48% AER (variable).

Fronting the agenda are off-field discussions following our Richard Gould interview, extending to how the English game might look after its latest review. The County Championship is never dull, with the Foxes of Leicestershire hunting for their first promotion as the Surrey machine clicks into top gear for the first time in 2025. There’s also plenty of action to recap in the Women’s One Day Cup before Ben Jones (on his 30th birthday!) takes us to India where the rest of the world is so focused – a staggering 35-ball ton by 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the IPL.Support the show with a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalwordTickets for our Wormsley match, August 18: uk.emma-live.com/WormsleyFinal2025 Subscribe to the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack and never pay RRP for it again: www.wisdenalmanack.com/subscribeWe have 47 runners in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival.Donate to get us to our £30k fundraising target for The Lord's Taverners.Get your big NordVPN discount: nordvpn.com/tfwSort out expat finances with Odin Mortgage & Tax: odinmortgage.com/partner/the-final-wordMaurice Blackburn Lawyers - fighting for the rights of workers since 1919: mauriceblackburn.com.auGet 10% off Glenn Maxwell's sunnies: t20vision.com/FINALWORDSave more, earn more—up to 4.48% AER (variable).

Season 18, Episode 7: Call it a mutual admiration society: given the way we respect Wisden, it's nice to get an observation back. More importantly this week, the kind of wild net-run-rate ending that we've been anticipating for some time came to pass in the women's World Cup qualifiers.

Season 18, Episode 5: It’s official: Dan Worrall is one of the five cricketers of the year in the 2025 Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack, following a third dominant season as Surrey completed a county threepeat. From a lower-grade club spinner in Melbourne to the South Australian Shield team to the Aussie one-day team to going full-time in England, he’s the definition of a modern journeyman. Now the 33-year-old finds himself in the mix for an England Test call-up, having met the eligibility to change countries. There was a fair bit to sink our teeth into when he took us through his unorthodox and intriguing journey in the professional game.Support the show with a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalwordTickets for our Wormsley match, August 18: uk.emma-live.com/WormsleyFinal2025 We have 47 runners in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival.Donate to get us to our £30k fundraising target for The Lord's Taverners.Get your big NordVPN discount: nordvpn.com/tfwSort out expat finances with Odin Mortgage & Tax: odinmortgage.com/partner/the-final-wordMaurice Blackburn Lawyers - fighting for the rights of workers since 1919: mauriceblackburn.com.auGet 10% off Glenn Maxwell's sunnies: t20vision.com/FINALWORDSave more, earn more—up to 4.48% AER (variable).
