The week when Chris Woakes wakes
🕑 Added 2020-08-11 07:36:29 +0000 UTCSeason 8, Ep 23: Comebacks don’t get much more stylish. England's memorable turnaround in Manchester came when Woakes and Jos Buttler produced a partnership that will be long celebrated. Sleep deprived at both ends of the show, we run a half-closed eye over the Test that was, as well as Ireland’s one-day win over England just beforehand. The Women’s World Cup has been shunted back a year for reasons that don’t stack up. Time for a bit of Nerd Pledge, check in with Sachin, and remind you that months come in sets of twelve per year.
Your Nerd Pledge numbers this week:
6.43 – Sarah Berman
5.31 – Ryan Smith
2.26 – Elise Gane & Sam Ashworth
Last weekend we named the weekend show Story Time. This particular episode featured boxers and communists who were not jazz saxophonists, what really happened on Adam's 21st birthday, and more info on which cricketers have punched selectors. The encore interview was Barney Douglas, director of cricket doco The Edge which is on the BBC iPlayer right now, and Felix White of the Maccabees who wrote the score.
So much Nerd Pledge!
4.45 – Rory Denis & Jack Firth
3.71 – David Windram
1.81 – Peter Halton
6.79 – Anna Forsyth & Jono Baruch
1.35 – Owen Brasier & datGriffin
