New Year, New England? Dec 31, 2021

Join Andy Zaltzman and Felicity Ward for the post mortem of Australia's massacre of England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

Featuring:

The shittest England innings in the long history of Ashes cricket - comparable to finding a dead fox in your garden.

Does Joe Root have the energy to lead England when he looks like he lacks the energy to rub out a scratchcard?

Consider Andy's revolutionary idea for the future of international cricket, while he and Felicity solve all of England cricket's problems.

Hear an MCG-themed song exclusively written for the Urncast by Australian comedian Geraldine Quinn. https://www.geraldinequinn.com/

Your questions are answered in a special Bugle Urncast Q&A section.

And enjoy a bumper Stat Whack section, commemorating England's phenomenally bad showing in Melbourne.

Jos Buttler made a bid for one of the oddest Test appearances, complete with great catches, dropped catches, and standing on his own stumps.

Hear Andy and Felicity fire questions at Steve Smith and Joe Root in the post-match press conferences.

And how exactly do you pronounce Marnus Labuschagne?

Why England are actually going to win The Ashes Dec 13, 2021

Show notes

Andy Zaltzman and Felicity Ward are joined by Dan Norcross from Test Match Special to pick over the bones of the Brisbane Test and look ahead to Adelaide.

Including:

How England's hope lasted all of 0.51 secs as Rory Burns defied physics to make one of the worst batting mistakes ever seen, facing the very first ball of the Ashes.

Is Joe Root haunted by the ghost of Gubby Allen?

How Travis Head harnessed the sexual confidence of his new tache to hit his impressive knock.

Why military helmets, gophers and electric shocks could revolutionise the decision-making technology of the sport.

Why catching is much like stacking a dishwasher.

And some hypothetical boner-inducing stats.

Series Preview, Second Innings Dec 07, 2021

Show notes

Andy and Felicity complete the 2nd innings of possibly the greatest Ashes preview of all time.

Limber up for Brisbane and listen as Andy attempts to get an exclusive ouija board interview with the deceased Australian cricketer Warwick Armstrong, hear them discuss the Antipodean origins of Russell Crowe and pavlova, and they dig into the archives for classic first-ball-of-the-Brisbane-Test commentary. Elsewhere they even skirt into actual 2021-22 Ashes subjects such as key players and predictions.

Series Preview, First Innings Dec 06, 2021

Show notes

Is this the weirdest buildup to an Ashes ever? Join comedians Andy Zaltzman (English, in Australia) and Felicity Ward (Australian, in England) as the greatest sporting event known to man rapidly approaches.

Hear Felicity's prophetic prediction from the previous Ashes in 2019, an exclusive final diary entry from former Australia captain Little Timmy Paine's autobiography No Paine, No Gain, the invention of Squid Game cricket, and dick jokes - because of course there are dick jokes. There's also stats. Lots of stats.
