Season 17, Ep 28: We've been excited about the 150th anniversary Test scheduled for 2027, so it was deflating to see the news that Cricket Australia have planned for it to be day-night. A range of specious arguments will try to cover for the fact that it's about the overseas TV market. Also this week, some Champions Trophy wash-up, Steve Smith's ODI retirement, South Australia on track for a domestic double, while the Shield final might be moved to Adelaide Oval if the logistics can be pulled off. Also this week Sabina Park won't have lights in time for their own pink-ball Test in Jamaica, the regional women's T20 World Cup qualifiers are coming up with our favourite Brazil team involved, and perhaps the first case of a player being dismissed in cricket for having fallen asleep.

A variation on our Book Club, this time we turn to film with a man well known to Final Word listeners, Tony Wilson. We change sports too, to (round ball) football. Why? The tale of Ange Postecoglou is fascinating one, and the influence of all-time great Ferenc Puskás - when they combined together at South Melbourne in the ‘90s - is central to it. With Cam Fink having shot and edited Ange and the Boss, who has also worked with us on many Final Word mission, this felt like a perfect fit. A joyous story with Melbourne migration at its core.

Champions Trophy Final, India v New Zealand, Dubai: A tournament tailor-made for Indian success has ended with just that, the best team getting the trophy they came to the UAE for.

It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, we're obviously going to end up at Shane Warne's sideline as a handyman, but before we get there it's going to be a meander through several facets of the career of someone who ended up on the wicket tally right behind him, and another of somebody who should have had a Test tally closer to those two than the number he ended up with.

Champions Trophy 1st semi-final, India v Australia, Dubai: Australia changed their blueprint and their attack but neither quite worked as India did enough with the ball and had too much depth with the bat, advancing to the final with Virat Kohli front and centre. In the thick of things at Dubai Sports City for us, it's Daniel Norcross with Andrew Fidel Fernando.

Champions Trophy Day 13, semi-final preview: Everyone is where they need to be for the final stages of this tournament, with Australia's configuration the main point of interest - the underdogs by any measure in Dubai against India on Tuesday. From there, it'll be South Africa and New Zealand duking it out in Lahore on Wednesday. Might it be the Proteas against the men in blue as it was in last year's T20 decider? Daniel Norcross and Andrew Fidel Fernando have plenty to chew over in their preview of what is to come.

This week, we head to South Africa for the first big explosion in a career of big explosions, we pop by Headingley and the MCG for a career that was something more than what might have been, head through India and the West Indies for a career of frustration that finally had its fulfilment, and go back to Western Australia for something that definitely happened at the wrong time.

Champions Trophy Day 10, Australia v Afghanistan, Lahore: More rain ruined the result for the men in gold (canary yellow?), but it matters little - they are going to be playing in another semi-final and Travis Head, India's nemesis so many times, is back to top form at the perfect time. Meanwhile, Afghanistan remain an outside chance of qualification themselves. At Lahore, Andrew Fidel Fernando is there to sum it all up with Cameron Ponsonby for company. Also, who should take over from Jos Buttler?

Champions Trophy Day 9, Pakistan v Bangladesh, Rawalpindi: What a mess. Pakistan, tournament hosts, were already bundled out after two dreadful losses and now their third and final game, against Bangladesh, has been washed out before a ball was bowled. But never fear, Daniel Norcross and Andrew Fidel Fernando are here to tell us what this all means. There is also the chance for them to go back to yesterday and trawl over England's entrails.

Champions Trophy Day 8, England v Afghanistan, Lahore: For a third ICC tournament in a row, England are going home before the business end. It was a thriller in Lahore with many twists and turns, but the real story at the end of it all is Afghanistan - if they beat Australia they're into the semis. Danyal Rasool is at the ground, in discussion with Cameron Ponsonby.

Season 17, Ep 26: Back with the weekly show, with Adam back home, and there's always plenty to go through. Bharat's Australian Story episode went up, our show managed to win the podcast award from the Australian Sport Commission, and then it's into some ponderings about the future of the Australian team, Josh Inglis and his back story, some of the strange pronouncements from England's men and some even stranger criticisms, and some busy times in the domestic landscapes of both countries. A county mystery continues: who did pay for Cameron Green to go to Bristol?

It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, we find ourselves revisiting the time when Bharat accidentally had to organise a reggae tour of India, which all began with one of the great Test finishes. Also, a distinctly Ceylonese theme through an exploration of circular mathematics, the Spanish coastline, and Perth driving lessons, before we follow a kangaroo that visited Yorkshire.
