Story Time 29, plus Lisa Sthalekar on commentary

Story Time is our weekly walk through cricket history. Jim Swanton had a hymn that he liked to sing, but you’ll never guess why. What about identifying the Godfather of Durham? John didn’t spell his the same as Evelyn. Who hit the pads but ate the pies? A little more Stan McCabe, a strange double from Steve Harmison, and the time that Mushtaq Mohammed did it all himself. After that we speak to the excellent Lisa Sthalekar, interviewed recently on the future of commentary for the documentary series Calling The Shots.   Your Nerd Pledge numbers are:  2.53 – Dave McRobbie  8.97 – Richard Johnson.  1.87 – Simon Trafford.  7.97 – Will Cuckson.  4.93 – Tom Stewart.  2.81 – Vivek Nayak and Dom Philp.   5.15 – Chris Arkle.  Send us a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalword Find previous episodes at  finalwordcricket.com  Help out the Lord’s Taverners this Christmas: www.lordstaverners.org Check out CBUS Super at   https://www.cbussuper.com.au/thefinalword  Get Geoff’s new book The Comeback Summer  The Final Word is part of the  Bad Producer Podcast Network Title track by  Urthboy  Support the show: https://patreon.com/thefinalword See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
