S3. E17. - Slip Catcher in the Rye

S3. E16. - Gladstone Small Talk
After Lee's coaching exploits with the Brazil Cricket Women's team in Rwanda, we're back with a quick T20 to warm us up for some Test action. Hear from Lee as he talks through the tournament and what it's like to coach in a Super Over. Dave, with a gravelly/patch voice, is in the chair as Gary and Lee compete in the short form of the game. Dave would like to apologise to Lee publicly for getting a question completely wrong; see if you can spot which one. Rounds are: Gladstone Small Talk Different Stokes for different Foakes Morne Sporcle As always, we hope you enjoy the pod and play along.…

Test cricket is back, baby! We return to the purest form of cricket in the second test between Lee and Dave.

S3. E10. - Quinton De Kock-Busters
We're back in our PJ's again as Dave sets a frankly ridiculous T20 quiz. We plumb new depths with some absurd rounds, which will most likely be consigned to the annals of history.

The round names are: Round 1 - T20 Questions Round 2 - Quinton De Kock-Busters Round 3 - Spelling Brett Lee As always, we hope you enjoy the pod and play along.

S3. E9. - Itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, yellow polka dot Ntini
We're back with some proper cricket quizzing this time, as the new test series starts in earnest. Gary has delivered five full days of questions (none of this two-day malarkey), as Lee and Dave face-off in this vital first test. This matchup has a music theme, with some of the most tenuous - and longest - round names we've had. We hope you enjoy. The round names are: Round 2 - Nick Knight's in white Satin Round 3 - We made our love at Newlands, through the Matthew Wade Round 4 - Itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, yellow polka dot Ntini Round 5 - Hooper Freak, Hooper Freak, he's Hooper Freaky.

S3. E8. - You Bet-hell
We kick off this year with our shorter quiz format, which revisits the most recent Ashes series. Whilst it might induce mild PTSD in English listeners, Dave and Gary take on Lee's twenty-point challenge, with the usual array of incompetence, punning and mirth. We hope you play along and let us know how you go! The round names are: Round 1 - They're still Gabbering on with the same old nonsense Round 2 - Head and Shoulders Round 3 - You Bet-hell As always, we hope you enjoy the pod and play along.

S3. E7. - Twelve Days of Cricketmas
Ho, ho, ho! Welcome to the How's Stat Christmas special. As Lee and Gary are on the travels, Lee has put together a quiz themed around the twelve days of Christmas, but recorded purely via the medium of Whatsapp notes. Gary and Dave did not listen to each others answers...see how it turned out! The round names are: Twelve Daniel Bell-Drummonds Drumming Eleven Who Sponsors the Piping on International Cricket Shirts Ten Batters at Lords are Leaping Nine Ladies Dancing Eight Bowlers are bowing Maidens the Batters are Failing to Milk Any Runs Seven Graeme Swann’s are Quitting Six Geese are…
