Greg James, Jimmy Anderson and Felix White take an alternative (and sometimes musical) look at cricket...


Tailenders

Former England fast bowler Steve Finn is our special guest as he shares the high and lows of his Ashes career, including being part of the last England team to win in Australia and why his best spell was overlooked due to Stuart Broad. 

Plus Arise Sir Jimmy! It’s the first episode of Tailenders presented by a knight of the realm and we get the inside story of Jimmy’s trip to Windsor Castle - including which random footballer was at the afterparty?

We’ll have a look, of course we’ll have a look.…it’s Steve Finn

Ashes fever is gripping the Nation (sort of) and everyone is doing their Ashes XIs, so we thought we’d jump on that bandwagon with our own.

Plus Jimmy is getting ready to get knighted - but is King Charles a leg spinner or a seamer?

Mattchin has another history lesson, more on the mysterious Phon Buntheon and can anyone stop Australia winning the Women’s World Cup?

Jimmy’s Underrated Ashes XI

Mattchin organises a surprise delivery that causes chaos - and injury - amongst the Tailenders.

Plus 1990s adverts, more on Phon Buntheon, The Women’s World Cup, Contracts, Listener Feedback, ‘Little Yearns’ and what links Bob Dylan to scoring?

Bob Dylan’s Dot Balls

Our very special guest this week is Saracens, England and Lions legend Jamie George who talks about sharing a room at school with Sam Billings, how Cricket helps his line out throws, watching Kent and Essex, Rugby ‘Little Yearns’ and The Ashes.

Plus Jimmy looks back at the International career of Chris Woakes and the mystery of Phon Bunthean.

Jamie George

The squad for the men’s Ashes has been announced and we’re getting very excited as Jimmy gives his reaction to the players who will head to Australia in November and battle for the urn. Plus memories of Dickie Bird, and Mattchin invites everyone ‘listening at home’ to come and network at his ‘Connection Convention’.

Will Jacks of all trades and the rest of the Ashes squad

Mattchin has a new history-based feature that is most definitely not ‘something he just Googled and told us’.

Plus another innings of ’The Anderson/Tendulkar Interview’, what’s better ’The Blast’ or ’The Hundred’ and did you witness a unique piece of cricketing history?

Mattchin’s Moments

Our very special guest is a World Cup and Ashes winner, former England captain and a legend of the game: Heather Knight (plus her alter ego Shelley).

We discuss the upcoming World Cup, injuries, learning to play the guitar, Padel with Mattchin and what happened when Felix met her at a recent Oasis concert.

Plus a ’new’ quiz from Mattchin, who bizarrely is in Norway. And find out what Heather related story has Issy Wong in stitches.

Go Well.

Heather Knight and her alter ego

The phone lines are open for our first ‘Little Yearns Special’ - those small, inconsequential things we’d love to do if we were International Cricketers. Topics covered include Ceefax, media duties, fines, sweaty kit, small waves and warm up routines. Plus Mattchin makes an unexpected and unmissable appearance on National Radio.

The Little Yearns Special

World Cup and IPL Winner Liam Livingstone, someone Greg has rated for many years, is our special guest. Some amazing insights about playing with Virat Kohli, England, The Hundred, winning The IPL, captaincy and ‘alignment sticks’. Plus a brand new quiz ’Set in Stone. Livingstone’.

Rated by Greg: Liam Livingstone

Jimmy’s back with more rounds of ‘Mark Wood I Lie to You?’, Mattchin’s beach cricket match, turning it up to a Hundred, loads of listeners ‘Little Yearns’, a cricket history lesson and your ‘Correspondence of Uncertainty’. Go Well.

Mark Wood, Mattchin’s Match and More than 10

Less than two weeks into 2024 and there is already loads of cricket to discuss. S.A v India, Australia v Pakistan, David Warner’s retirement, and random stuff from commentators and batters mic’d up. Plus predictions for 2024 and Felix has regrets about what he said on ‘Football Focus’.
