From the creators of beloved cricket podcast The Final Word, Adam Collins and Geoff Lemon bring together the stories that most surprised, shocked and inspired them, from the 1879 riot in Sydney sparked by a controversial umpire's call, to the legendary bowler who (allegedly) drunkenly urinated on the field, to the biggest defeat in first-class cricket history and much more.

Adam Collins is an Australian cricket
journalist, author, and broadcaster. Before that he worked
as a senior adviser to a federal Labor government, and for
the organising committee of the London 2012 Olympic

central casting, he follows cricket and footy first, but plenty
more. He has been named the Christopher Martin-Jenkins

autobiography.
Geoff Lemon's cricket exploits include
founding pirate commentary station White Line Wireless,
graduating to ABC and BBC ball-by-ball around the world,
and spending the last dozen years as the principal cricket
writer for Guardian Australia. His book Steve Smith's Men,
on the Cape Town sandpaper scandal, won multiple awards.
Outside cricket, he was the longtime editor of literary
anthology Going Down Swinging, director of the National
Young Writers Festival, has published books of poetry and
essays, and still writes on politics, literature, and music.
