That whole Edgbaston thing
🕑 Added 2023-06-23 00:15:46 +0000 UTCYou all know what happened there. What a Week 3 that was on TFW. Recovered yet? Pretty sure the Day 5 show from Edbgaston is already our most listened-to Daily, and if not it will be shortly. The video is up top, the audio is here.

Looking back at the Edgbaston miracle
Then the day afterwards, it was Season 14, Episode 20: With a night and a day to think about, we can start to come to terms with what we saw in Birmingham. An extraordinary day, with some bigger themes to come out of it than what we could address in the Daily show looking more at the action on the field. Also this week, our preview of the Women's Ashes Test from Trent Bridge in Nottingham, and some remarkable results from the 2023 World Cup qualifiers.
Here's the episode.

And yes, we managed a Story Time. This week, a special episode recorded after the first day of the first Ashes Test. A little weariness makes for more contemplation, and a lot more being sidetracked. Come for the cricket, stay for the examination of historical conspiracy theories, and a journey through terrible sport team names.
