Episode Description from the Publisher

THE TEN MINUTE FORTNIGHT: Andy surveys his cricket-themed birthday cards, and Toby wonders whether Livingstone's criticism of Bazball might let the genie out of the bottle "It does make you wonder what they'd send if I wasn't a cricket fan." FROM THE ARCHIVES (09'40): An Unusual World Record: Jimmy Sinclair scores the longest ever six "His name sounds like a super hero, which is probably quite appropriate given what we're about to hear."  THE REVIEW (19'30): Echoing Greens: How Cricket Shaped the English Imagination (2024) by Brendan Cooper "Wonderful to think of Keats at the age of 24 wandering about with a cricket injury." Recorded 19 March 2026
