World Test Championship: Days 4-5
2021/06/22
IND 64/2 & 217; NZL 249 | After another day of rain, both members of The Offspin stayed up all night watching a riveting day of test cricket and are now struggling. Alex is holding it down in the studio, while Simon is in the hallway of a Wellington cafe, so sorry about the sound quality on this one. After this episode was recorded Simon hopped in a taxi and the driver was Ewen Chatfield – if that’s not a good omen for Day 6, nothing is. This podcast is brought to you by The Beer Spot.

World Test Championship: Day 3
2021/06/21
NZL 101/2; IND 217 | Between them, The Offspin managed to watch almost every ball of what was an excellent day of test cricket for the Blackcaps. Alex has discovered the secret to staying up all night (it’s all about hydration), while Simon is attempting to take credit for all the wickets that fell while he slept through the first two sessions. Can the New Zealand middle order now build on a dominant display of pace bowling and resolute opening partnership? Or will the dreaded Southampton rain return and ruin everything?
