Season 8, Ep 27: That was quite the choke. Australia's T20 series against England started with a dominant position that somehow turned into a loss. England bossed the second, and Australia got one back via Mitchell Marsh when both teams were changed up for the third. Adam came straight from the comm box to this show via a few wrong turns on the motorway with all the details.In other news this week, Dawlat Zadran lit up the Afghan T20 league with some lovely work at the non-striker's end, the last of the class of 2005 in the shape of Ian Bell said goodbye to first-class cricket, the women's Big Bash has a schedule, Yuvraj Singh is looking Australia's way, plus some overdue Happy Birthday Sachin and plenty more.Your Nerd Pledge numbers on this show:2.04 – Simon Kozlina19.97 – Hugh Kenney-HerbertSend us a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalword     Find previous episodes at finalwordcricket.com For your two discount Nightwatchman compilations, go to:bit.ly/nwaussie and enter the code tfw10bit.ly/tfwbest and enter the code tfw20Check out CBUS Super at cbussuper.com.au  The Final Word is produced by Jay Mueller on the Bad Producer Podcast Network Title track by Urthboy Support the show: https://patreon.com/thefinalwordSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
