  • Too many ads

    I like the content; however, the advertising is too much. Specifically, CBUS superannuation have behaved appallingly towards their members by not paying them benefits they were entitled to - and fined for that behaviour.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TFW Daily - Crazy bad fielding - England Pakistan, 1st Test, Headingley Day 2
Q: Danyal, would you please tell me about day two of this test match in the space of 30 seconds?
Day two saw Pakistan's fielding collapse and England taking control, with Ali Usman delivering a five-wicket haul and a couple of England partnerships keeping the scoreline moving; the day featured several sharp pieces of bowling and a few controversial fielding moments that tilted the balance in England's favor.
CA sell-off hits more roadblocks, Ben Stokes hits the showers
Q: What is the significance of the chairs meeting in relation to the Big Bash privatisation?
It represents a potential move toward more direct state influence on Cricket Australia's governance, with caveats, and could accelerate or stall privatization depending on whether state boards approve the agreed framework.
TFW Book Club - Picture of England, with Gareth Copley-Jones
Q: How did the collaboration with Rory Dollard shape the way the pictures tell their stories?
Rory helped convert many separate photographs into a cohesive narrative by giving players a voice around the images, letting the viewer understand why each moment mattered and how it fit into a larger chapter of English cricket.
TFW Book Club - Picture of England, with Gareth Copley-Jones
Q: What makes a photograph of, say, Stokes at Headingley so iconic beyond the moment itself?
The image crystallizes a narrative—the look, the posture, the context of the celebration—capturing not just the event but the character and arc of the player within the team's broader story.
TFW Book Club - Picture of England, with Gareth Copley-Jones
Q: Can you give us a sense of what it feels like being on the ground with the players immediately after a big moment?
It's electric and intimate; you're in the thick of it, witnessing emotion up close, and you're constantly balancing the energy of the moment with the need to stay ready to capture the next instant that could define the story.
