How England won the World Cup (and lost the first Test back)

Season 8, Ep 19: Exactly a year from that famous day at Lord's we're joined by Nick Hoult to discuss his new book that gives all the detail you didn't know about England’s triumph. We also, thankfully, get to talk about the first Test match of the covid era, as the West Indies rallied gloriously to knock off the hosts late on the final afternoon at Southampton. What a joy to have it back. Your Nerd Pledge numbers this week are: 3.92 – Cam Tero. 4.05 – Matthew Share. 3.31 – David Varley. Guess away. Our answers are in the episode.
