Tailenders

The Tailenders pick over the good, tasty bones of the first men's test between England and New Zealand. Plus Partridge, Shane Warne Day, Double Pat Releases in the Long Room and where does the ball sleep?

The Tailenders are back at Lord's (no tractor in the way this time) to preview the first men's Test match of the summer, plus the latest on ’Shane Warne Day’ and what happened when Jimmy had dinner with two legends of the game?

Jimmy’s back in the England Test squad, Greg’s lost the power to speak, Felix has a new quiz and Mattchin is on a nature walk.

Greg, Jimmy, Felix and Mattchin are joined by England bowler Kate Cross to try and work out what has been the ball of the 21st Century so far. Plus an impromptu quiz inspired by the Playfair Cricket Annual 2022.

A new England Men's Test captain, County Cricket round up, Felix’s latest holiday, Mattchin has a radical plan for English Cricket plus Correspondence of Uncertainty.

The Tailenders reflect on a dramatic week in English cricket with changes on and off the field. Plus gig reviews, lawnmower chat, the joys of County Cricket and which pop star’s dad does Jimmy look like?

The excitement for the new cricket season is palpable, with engaging tales of cold training sessions and camaraderie. The hosts dive into innovative bowling techniques, including the wobble seam delivery, and share hilarious team dynamics stories. Nostalgic rivalries between Yorkshire and Lancashire spark entertaining anecdotes, while beach cricket brings light-hearted challenges and listener engagement. A trivia game rounds off the fun, featuring quirky sports stats and historical reflections that keep the banter lively and entertaining.

A look ahead to the Women's World Cup Final between Australia and England, plus some incredible Shane Warne stories from listeners about meeting the great man.

We cross live (sort of) to our Cricket Correspondents Felix White and Mattchin Tendulkar for an in depth analysis (sort of) of the third and final Test between the West Indies and England men's teams. Includes guest appearances (sort of) from David Gower, Mark Schwarzer and the Prime Minister of Grenada.

The Tailenders are on hand to bring another instalment of ‘General Cricketing Gladness’ to the world. Including an impromptu ‘Jimmy Anderson Clinic’, wedding advice, an extraordinary tale about John Major’s hands and is Daren Sammy the nicest cricketer in the world?
