At the end of the ABC test coverage this morning on BBC 5 Sports Extra, the aussie commentator referred to a member of the broadcast team as the best cricket statistician in the world. Think Andy Zaltzman amd the Test Match Special might have something to say about that claim.....
Might have to stop following VertebratePublishing on Twitter. Already got some of their books, then started following them this week and have already ordered 2 more. Will run out of bookshelf space at this rate!! 🤣
This is totally inaccurate, there is no ‘6th episode’. Wild Isles is – and always was - a 5 part series. We acquired a separate film for iPlayer from the RSPB, WWF and Silverback Films about people working to preserve and restore the biodiversity of the British Isles. The Guardian
Just listened to the Midnight meets podcast with James Haskell - interesting chat but also dropping some absolutely banging tunes!! Lead to a mini kitchen disco with the kids when I got Alexa to play the full version. Cc colin murray
Are any other Tailenders listeners following Nottinghamshire CCC just to find out what they got Mattchin up there for? Can't wait!! #tailendersoftheworlduniteandtakeover
Got the The Hundred draft in in the background and the thing I'm most wanting to find out is whether @katecross16 and Alexandra Hartley end up together at the same team!
Main interest in the men's draft is to see if Steven Finn gets picked up. I'm sure that's the only thing that daniel norcross and Toby Tarrant are really interested in as well!
Just caught up with the 2 latest eps of Zero Ducks Given and had the weird experience of the voice of Greg James appearing in the middle of it doing an ad for that C4 show. Given the love of Darren Ian Stevens can we expect Mattchin to be the new SW cricket correspondent?
Just listening to Scotlands Ships by @bbcmbuchanan on BBC Sounds (I know its been out a few months now) but the soundtrack to it is beautiful and evokes wonderful memories of the Scottish islands.
Just listened to the Test Match Special podcast with David Warner & really annoyed now that he seems like a nice bloke. Was always much easier when I disliked him!! Still hope he doesn't get runs this summer, but would go for a pint with him (I'm sure my view matter loads to him- not)!!
He may have been at Glasto yesterday, but I swear Dave Grohl is currently running the sound system for the bands at Appleton Roebuck scarecrow festival (and doing a great job!!)
Sitting at Old Trafford wondering if this might end up being THE floodlight.... Cc Alexandra Hartley @katecross16 Henry Moeran noballs
Sat in Trieste and just seen the news about Steven Finn - sad we won't get to see him on the pitch any more but really glad he's part of Test Match Special Thanks for all the memories Finny Toby Tarrant - I know you like pulling his leg, but 1 ZDG pod giving him his due would be good!!
We've started watching Death in Paradise from the beginning with the kids (They're fans of Beyond Paradise). Familiar face just turned up in S2 Ep6.... Ralf Little 💙
Looking forward to hearing Steven Finn on Tailenders Will be interesting to see how grumpy (or not) he is on a cricket podcast that isn't Zero Ducks Given If he isn't this will be yet more proof that it's Toby Tarrant that brings out the worst in him!! 🤣🤣
Sunday afternoon, it's skanky outside but I'm inside and about to watch York Futsal VIKINGS - happy days!!
Just been looking at renewal for The Economist Seeing subscriptions cheaper for new readers is a bit annoying when I've been a subscriber for donkeys years. Yes I could put it in a different name and get a 'new' subscription, but thats not the point. Might be time to cancel!
