About this episode
Season 9, Ep 14: Happy New Year! Load up your glasses and turn on the show in the final hours of one year or the fresh ones of the next. The terrible times of 2020 are behind us, and the indistinct times of 2021 are ahead. So what were the best and worst, the highs and the lows? We'll head around the cricket world, to Bangladesh and South Africa, Southampton and Mount Maunganui, in and out of bubbles, to the players and matches and moments that defined the year for us. We'll also talk about the Sydney Test against India in a fashion that will already be out of date now that new COVID cases have been detected in Melbourne – but hey, that's 2020. Thanks so much for listening this year, and here's hoping the next is as good on the podcast, and much better off it.
