Farewell to the Dan O'Connell Cricket Club
🕑 Added 2021-02-23 09:07:52 +0000 UTCIt's the fourth and final TFW post for February.
Season 9, Ep 22: A busy cricket week, even aside from the final match in the Yarra Pub Cricket Association for the storied DOCCC (est. 2007). The Dan is no more, but won three Premierships, set the standard for uniforms in the comp, and had a good last day out. (The final-over 2015 flag moment is pictured above.) We also look at the mess of messaging from England around resting players that stitched up Moeen Ali, the lead-up to two simultaneous tours of New Zealand, a couple of remarkable results in the Sheffield Shield, a bit of Nerd Pledge and the latest from our Bannerman search, then TFW favourite Bharat Sundaresan joins the show to explain some of the confusing bits about the IPL auction.
Your Nerd Pledge numbers this week:
7.67 – Trev from Perth
3.16 – Brad Todd
1.41 – Tim Jones
Story Time 35 – Keys in the bowl
It's time for some spicy group action on our walk through cricket history. This week we have the Jones-Off of '88, a bunch of Test dads, the 10-day match and how close it came to a win, how far Belinda Clark was ahead of her time, the cumulative size of various Peters, the most delightful day out for a recent guest, and what show would be complete without Our Father Vinoo and a selection of Nawabs?
Your Nerd Pledge numbers are:
1.26 - Anirban Gupta-Nigam
3.42 - Declan Lawlor & Bernhard Sayer
2.31 - Alan Edgar, Brian Strain & Steve Lofthouse
1.16 - Chris Jones, Dane Hanstead & datGriffin
2.19 - Keiron Costello, Scott Lamprecht, Nick Tewson & Reg Wilson
2.29 - Michael Gormley & Mike Dunn
Plus revisits and confirmations.
February is done, and the India-England Daily returns from Ahmedabad tomorrow. Can't stop, won't stop.
