It's the Grand Finale of Season One...who thought it would have this many episodes? After an extraordinary year we wrap up with a bumper episode, the longest yet, so you can take all winter to listen to it if that's what's required. 

The bulk of the show is spent discussing all the JCA run competitions, not just the winners and top performers but also how they are structured. We start with the various regions of the Japan Cup and how that leads into Japan Cup Finals then we go over the Women's J-BASH, the Under 15, Under 19 and University Leagues, before getting into all three divisions of the Japan Cricket League and ending at the Japan Premier League. 

Before all that we get to hear Dhugal's origin story (any true superhero needs one) and to wrap up Dhugal has a brief glance ahead to what 2022 holds and then gives his take on the traditional questions that I like to ask all guests on the show. 

If you have never done so then now really is the time to rate the show on whatever platform you get your podcasts, and should you have the energy then a review would be just lovely too!
