TFW with guest co-host Ben Jones
🕑 Added 2021-10-17 01:00:31 +0000 UTCSeason 11, Ep 3: With Adam on holiday, his spot for this week's show was taken by the delightful Ben Jones, the CricViz whiz-kid - and just in time for IPL finals week. And yes, we should have posted this episode here before the final happened, but still - if you're interested in looking back, Ben examines a ream of analytical data on pretty much every ball of the tournament. Then sticks around for a spot of Nerd Pledge, the data on Shikha Pandey's wonderball, and some measurement of England's Ashes squad.
You can watch our dodgy video call above, or get the brushed-up audio here.
Your Nerd Pledge number this week:
3.12 - Mike Meehall Wood
Story Time 65 – There has never been a Test match in Adelaide
On last weekend's show, we learn about a whole lot of running without a lot of smiting, by the last person you would expect it from. How many international caps did Morne Morkel win WITHOUT playing for South Africa? Krejza goes Krazy, Gilchrist goes crazy, and there's a triple-header with a whole lot of permutations. But one question persists throughout: has there ever really been a Test at Adelaide?
Your new Nerd Pledge numbers:
3.10 – Amelia Vine
12.34 - Rosie Piper
1.54 - Shane Fagg
2.96 - Nick Tewson
3.83 - Timothy O'Mera, Simon Butcher & Jayaprakash
Revisits: Doc Gowland, Clayton Lewis, Phillip Meng, Lara Killick.
New Story Time for this current weekend just dropped, too. Enjoy!
