The triumph of the Pomborneit Bulls
🕑 Added 2022-11-17 12:43:10 +0000 UTCThis week has been huge, even by our standards. After two World Cup semis and getting back to Melbourne for the final, we were back in a rental car the next morning and driving to Adelaide, making plenty of stops on the way. We also shot a lot of video.
One of those is the main one above, from Port Fairy, which also makes up the first half of this audio show:
Season 13, Ep 7: A lot to get through in a short time: he ICC sponsorship with crypto has collapsed along with the FTX exchange, Glenn Maxwell breaks his leg, David Warner talks about his future, the T20 World Cup washes up, there's a sprinkling of domestic cricket.
The audio is here.
The second half of this audio weekly show is our visit to Pomborneit to find out how a tiny district of 191 people is building one of the most successful cricket clubs in Australia. The video of this segment has not been released yet, it will be soon.
The Final Word LIVE in Melbourne
Chris Rogers is in, to replace the show he was going to do in January, and the Mission to Seafarers hall is once again the venue. We'll start at 7pm so we can get Chris to his Shield game the next day. Come by from 6:30 for a beverage.
The date is Wednesday November 23rd, the address is 717 Flinders Street, and the tickets are here. This will be the Final Word loose night of the year, come by.
