Tournament crashes and bike crashes
🕑 Added 2021-11-14 12:16:53 +0000 UTCAt the time of sending, in Week 2 of November. Australia and New Zealand are less than two hours away from the T20 World Cup final. Two unexpected finalists, with a lot of repeat players from 2015 at the So Big MCG. We've been busy during the week on the World Cup Daily for a couple of belting semi-finals, and Ashton has been busy on the video edits for those who prefer the visual feed. See the most recent, after the Wade-Stoinis ridiculum.
England and Pakistan, the two favourites, can only be described as having crashed out. Not bundled out. Crashed out.

Will be back this coming Wednesday. Did we say that last week? Maybe, but this time for real.
Story Time 70 - Geoff fell off his bike again
You can tell that Adam wrote this episode title, no? Geoff would like to clarify that he did not fall off the bike, he just tipped over with the bike, and managed to drive the spikes of the gear wheel through his ankle. It happens, right?
Anyway, this happened during a break in recording while clearing our revisits list, and a night in the emergency room precluded finishing the second part. But before then we did visit the dustbowl of Pune, the white-ball debuts of an unlikely Australian pair, and re-lived some moments from the beloved one-day tri-series. Further back in time, the day it all fell apart for Sonny Ramadhin, Robert Croft’s finest hour and the origin of that defiant roar: QUEENSLANDER. Much, much more to come next week.
Featuring Nerd Pledge revisits for:
3.33 – Bernie Prins
3.21 – Tom Fisher
19.10 – Anna Forsyth
4.19 – Dan Walsh
4.71 – Andrew Gilbertson
3.10 – Amelia Vine
6.64 – Adam in Vanuatu (not anymore)
Recuperations are well under way, and we'll finish the job next weekend.
