Season 12, Ep 18: With Geoff out of action, Adam invited Vithushan Ethantharajah to his North London backyard to put the world to rights after Ravi Shastri's grim blueprint for Test cricket. There was celebration too after Sam's Northeast's stunning quadruple ton and a look ahead to cricket in the Commonwealth Games. Oh, and Nerd Pledge offers the perfect indie dancefloor / Pakistan Test cricket crossover for those who like that sort of thing.
