White Noise Cricket Podcast

For the second straight year, and for the third year in four, it's an all South Group Finals Day. Jarleth Eaton and Cam McFarlane are with you direct from the Seat Unique Terrace at Edgbaston to dissect quarter final week in the 2024 Vitality T20 Blast. They look at the games in reverse order, starting with an absolutely outstanding effort from Gloucestershire to defend 138 against Birmingham Bears, who lose their fourth quarter final in a row in this competition. Attention then turns to Somerset beating Northants at Wantage Road, before the boys look at how Sussex cruised past Lancashire and Surrey safely dispatched Durham in the other two last eight ties. Each of the winning captains in the shape of Jack Taylor, Lewis Gregory, Tymal Mills and Chris Jordan join the show to dissect how their team progressed to Finals Day, before Jar and Cam take a final look at another awful week for the North Group, and an excellent one for the South Group. Thanks as always for listening, and we'll be back next Wednesday for the big Finals Day Preview. In the meantime, follow us @T20Blast on socials.

Jarleth Eaton and Cam McFarlane are back to dissect a huge weekend of Vitality T20 Blast action in the latest T20 Blast Podcast. The boys start by reviewing all the action from the South Group, which saw Surrey and Sussex book their spots in the quarter finals, and Somerset and Essex come within touching distance, although Gloucestershire are still in their fighting. Next, they turn to the North Group, where the Birmingham Bears became the first team in that group to secure a quarter final berth, and guaranteed to be playing home. Jar catches up with Bears spinner Jake Lintott after that achievement, before they look at who will join them after Friday's final group matches, with six teams still in with a shout.

Next, it's a chance to review the midweek games, which featured Yorkshire getting back into the top four race, Durham, Gloucestershire and Leicestershire miss their chance to pull clear in their bid for a quarter final spot, and Sussex and Essex continue their good form in the South Group. Finally, the trio look ahead to a huge set of fixtures this weekend, with Harry's Somerset taking on Surrey, Cam discussing the second Roses T20 clash, and Jar's Birmingham Bears hosting their local rivals the Worcestershire Rapids, as the battle for a last eight berth intensifies.

Jar catches up with Jacob Bethell after he hit the second fastest T20 Blast 50 to help the Birmingham Bears defeat the Northants Steelbacks on Thursday, before speaking to Raphy Weatherall of the Steelbacks and Rishi Patel of the Leicestershire Foxes, who hit the fastest ever 100 in the Blast by an English player in an incredible tied game between the two sides at Wantage Road on Friday. The rest of the games are also analysed, before Jar and Cam look at the tables at the halfway stage of the 2024 T20 Blast, and ask who is still realistically in the race for the quarter finals, before ending the show by picking the best team of the tournament so far, and which team has impressed them the most.
