A gentle underarm at the stumps
🕑 Added 2023-07-05 14:28:22 +0000 UTCHello world. Just a quiet Week 1 of July, then, with an uneventful Lord's Test wrapping up? Honestly, it has been a very intense few days, and we are more grateful than ever to have all of you - a sensible and kind audience with plenty of people from Australia and the UK, having civil chats with each other online instead of gearing up for a brawl. Bless you all. TFW Discord has been a haven.
If you have sent a message to the DM inbox in the last couple of weeks, bear with us, we will get to them ASAP.
The video up top is part of the weekly show from yesterday, titled:
Frothing over in the Lord's Long Room
Season 14, Episode 22: A day after the wildness at Lord's,we look back and try to take its measure. Meanwhile, in the world beyond the ground, the story has only got bigger. Adam and Geoff try to puzzle out the conflict. Then we speak to Wisden's Yas Rana about English cricket's ICEC report into discrimination, and the recommendations to change it. Plus the World Cup qualifiers and - at last - a World Cup schedule.
The audio is here.
The Final Word Daily
Safe to say across the first four days of the match, we weren't expecting it to end up as it did. We've been reaching a bigger audience than ever with these shows though even before the splatter began, so we must be doing something right.
Here are days one, two, three, four, five.
Or the video playlist.
Women's Ashes Daily
Our coverage continues there, even when Geoff and Adam are at another match thanks to the mad schedule - at Edbgaston for the first T20 we had Daniel Norcross and Henry Moeran doing it well in our absence, after seeing a record Women's Ashes crowd of nearly 20,000.
Audio is here.
We're off to Leeds today for the next Test. Wish us luck! And keep on being lovely out there. For everyone involved, it means more than you may know.
