S2 01 | Cricket World Cup - Afghanistan to beat Australia

This 2021/2 Ashes series might be unbelieveable but it's not urnbelieveable.

However if you still want a podcast mix of comedy, cricket, Andy Zaltzman, Felicity Ward

and stats then do check out The Bugle Ashes Urncast available wherever you get your podcasts.

A bonus Ashes 2019 souvenir containing Steve Smith, Ben Stokes, silly press conferences, stats, pregnancy anger and the last No Paine No Gain.Thanks to all who listened and until next time, may the cricket be with you.

Felicity returns to the studio to celebrate Australia's victory and deliver an emphatic No Paine No Gain.

Trying to consol himself, Andy points out that Australia have retained the Ashes not won it.

And there's a bumper stat whack to pay homage to the great Steve Smith.

In a late substitution Felicity retired ill from the podcast field, so her Marnus Labuschagne is Declan Fay.

However from her sick bed she still brings you No Paine No Gaine and Sick Burns!

Andy is also joined by UK comedy legend Mark Steel to talk Ben Stokes, the return of Steve Smith and the best 1 not out in history.

Last episode Felicity offered various comedy ways to get Steve Smith out. One of them was to try and hurt him.

Jofra Archer clearly listens to the podcast and took this advice seriously.

We can only apologise by offering Nish Kumar, more Ashes sketches and a preview of the Leeds Test.

The wonder of Steve Smith, Lord's Test preview, dodgy umpiring and Australian bush poetry references.

Andy and Felicity are back and together with Geoff Lemon they go through all of the above.

After an astonishing final and 15984 deliveries (Andy's seen that much cricket!) the World Cup is over. To help Felicity and Andy make sense of the most incredible end to a cricket game ever they are joined by New Zealand fan James Nokise & India fan Paul Sinha.

Andy has been to 28 matches and has become a husk of a person. Felicity bravely reveals she isn’t feeling confident about the upcoming England vs Australia semi-final. Comedian and West Indies fan, Nathan Caton, is thinking about becoming a football fan.

Half way through the group stage of the 2019 World Cup, Andy and Felicity ask the hard questions to the biggest names in the game. They're joined by New Zealand comedian and positive sledging advocate, James Nokise, and West Indian cricket commentator Fazeer Mohammed.

Addressing crucial issues like the best World Cup kit, is David Warner now a nice guy and Chris Gayle's German Twenty20 career, Andy and Felicity return to preview the 2019 Cricket World Cup with comedian, Pakistan fan and presenter of the BBC's Doosra podcast, Aatif Nawaz.
