Nice episode but not enough shoe eating.

Also, that XI should've surely included Lara's 153 or that epic final Gavaskar innings.

The XI should have included Azhar Ali 103 at Sharjah and Younis Khan's 171* in Pallakele considering both innings came against your 4th innings specialist Herath.

Nope Herath ws dropped for that Pallekele game.

I guess we could come up with 15 names for the XI tbh.

Here's that Gavaskar innings I was talking about btw. I highly recommend watching the whole thing, it's ridiculously entertaining, and the pitch is the very definition of a minefield. That Nagpur 2015 pitch is positively tame compared to what this pitch devolves into by the 3rd/4th innings. Just check out the deliveries at 1:22:40 and 1:32:41. They pitch on a good length and go over the keeper's head :laugh:

Finally got round to listening to a whole one of these - top effort from Howe and *****, although I kept wanting to jump in when you were chatting about the 38/39 series and the timeless Test :)

The Tests were 4 days, but because the series was still alive and there was a lot of interest they decided to play the last one to a finish - not a good move as things turned out

This was also what happened for several of the Ashes series in England between the wars - when the series was undecided (as it usually was) the Oval Test was played to a finish. (Also true of the last Test in the 1912 Triangular series).

There have also been occasions relatively recently (ie within my lifetime) when a sixth day has been added to the final Test, although I can't identify one off hand

Ashes in 1972 and 1975 are the two I know of. (And would have been in 1970-1, but that match ended on day 5).

Disappointed there's been no podcast 20 in the wake of what happened at the weekend - has ***** still not sobered up?
