63.515 - 68.209 Greg James

Hello and welcome to the Tailender Steve Bracknell Dua Lipa podcast.

70.012 - 74.439 Felix White

Hello and thank you for having us on the Ted and the Steve Bracknell Dua Lipa podcast.

74.459 - 95.074 Greg James

We should just say that we are delayed in recording, which will have no impact on the listeners because this just comes out willy-nilly anyway. But we've had a delay recording because there's been a problem with some of the software that it was being used by either Dua Lipa or Steve Bracknell that we couldn't log in to use the software. That's what's been happening.

95.054 - 123.39 Greg James

That's behind the scenes of Tailenders at Tailenders HQ. This is a loosely cricket-based podcast with me, G4's Greg James, Sir Jimmy Anderson, Felix White, and Lord Machin Tendulkar, King of the Sea. Hello! Hello! On today's episode, here comes a menu. On today's episode, we're going to discuss Jimmy's exceptional bowling as Lancashire beat Derbyshire by 29 runs in the county championship.

Chapter 2: What happened during Felix and Matchin's trip to Bristol?

618.95 - 629.156 Jimmy Anderson

Because obviously we lost Ajit in the first, like literally first 10, 15 minutes of the game. And then you've got the substitute rule now where you can replace an injured player.

0

629.457 - 629.657 Unknown

Yeah.

0

629.637 - 637.176 Jimmy Anderson

And there was loads of back and forth with that because we had two bowlers at the ground. One was Mitch Stanley who had a back spasm who couldn't play.

0

Chapter 3: Who is the cricketing legend Greg bumped into at Lord's?

637.397 - 645.136 Jimmy Anderson

And we had Tom Bailey who was regarded as too good to replace Ajit Singh Dale. But we didn't know that that was part of the regulations.

0

645.377 - 646.6 Felix White

It seems ridiculous.

0

646.799 - 666.84 Jimmy Anderson

So yeah, it felt ridiculous at the time. We've then got to get Oli Sutton, who's just played a four-day game in Leicester for the second team, to literally travel three hours to then take part in the game. So he played seven days of cricket in a row, which surely it doesn't make sense from an injury perspective. So yeah, we had that going on.

0

666.86 - 671.145 Jimmy Anderson

I don't understand the Tom Bailey thing at all, because you haven't picked him in the first place.

0

671.425 - 676.03 Felix White

If he's that good, do you know what I mean? There's a reason he's not in that team that week.

676.01 - 695.492 Jimmy Anderson

Yeah, I don't want to get into trouble by saying anything. I shouldn't. But we just thought, I think the whole ground, to be honest, the opposition just presumed it would be Tom that would come in. You know, the rules say like for like replacement. It was a new ball bowler for a new ball bowler. But the match referee determined that Tom's record was better than Ajit's.

695.512 - 703.941 Jimmy Anderson

He'd seen him bowl earlier in the season, thought they bowled better than him. So it was like he's adding resources to the game or adding quality to our team for that game. Yeah.

703.921 - 723.195 Greg James

didn't allow it for that reason but again the umpire makes the decision the umpire no no match referee the umpires don't have anything so who who could you have replaced I mean matching was there you could have replaced him with matching on a scale from Tom Bailey to matching what who's acceptable

723.361 - 727.887 Greg James

Well, he's not as good as Ajit Singh Jailer, as he mentioned, so that would be okay by the match referee.

Chapter 4: What health tips does Justin Rose share?

1104.706 - 1125.62 Greg James

I managed to take my dad for a walk from the hospital and we went to Lords because there was a game on. It was MCC Women's Day. And they had a couple of exhibition matches on and loads of school kids and stuff. And they were playing just on the outfield. Yeah. They were playing. There was a game. Yeah.

0

1125.9 - 1147.92 Greg James

And we went in there and one of my aims was to get him back to the cricket at some point to, you know, get him back into real life. And as we were walking, we were walking around the concourse and I had this wheelchair just in case he needed to sit down. Mark Nicholas just appeared out of nowhere. Out of nowhere. Just dressed in this unbelievable brown three-piece suit looking incredible.

0

1148.22 - 1150.886 Matchin Tendulkar

No way. Did he ask your dad about the medical procedure?

0

1154.733 - 1155.735 Felix White

Procedure?

0

1156.627 - 1178.618 Greg James

That is a great reference and something I think about most weeks. For those tailenders that don't know, Mark Nicholas used to do, well, he is one of the all-time great cricket commentators and front people. But he also did a thing, an advert, and he was interviewing Shane Warne and Michael Warne and kept saying, is it a procedure? He kept saying, so tell us about the procedure.

1179.83 - 1196.4 Greg James

And so he appeared like a vision out of nowhere and said, how's it going, boys? He calls everyone boys, which is immediately just really exciting. How's it going, boys? And my dad was just sort of sitting there in a wheelchair feeling a little bit, you know, worse for wear.

1196.601 - 1197.843 Felix White

Not like a boy. Yeah.

1197.883 - 1210.199 Greg James

Not like a boy. Like a very, very old man. Yeah. But we had a really nice chat and he was like, well, I'll see you in the summer. You know, just let me know if you want to come and see a game or get you into the, you know, box or whatever. Because he's the chairman, isn't he now?

1211.18 - 1224.914 Greg James

When we did the thing at Calgary Lecture, he was president and then gave him, wasn't the joke that he sort of made himself chairman? Well, he didn't make himself chairman, but anyway, whatever it was. But he was really, really sweet to my dad. And they were talking because he has a heart thing.

Chapter 5: What are the restaurant recommendations discussed?

3168.511 - 3177.479 Matchin Tendulkar

Step by step. And avoid Elvis. And keep, yeah, just one foot in front of the other.

0

3178.18 - 3182.203 Greg James

But if you do see Elvis, give our regards to him and give Elvis a go well.

0

3182.183 - 3191.399 Jimmy Anderson

Cheers! You know, Alistair Cook's running the marathon, I think. Is he? He's hoping to do a sub-three hour marathon. Doesn't sweat.

0

3191.619 - 3195.726 Felix White

Wonderfield sweats. Wonderfield sweats. He doesn't sweat, does he? Don't know if he will, you know.

0

3196.027 - 3201.234 Greg James

Sub-three. Extraordinary. I'd like to know that. Go well to Alistair Cook. Go well, cheers.

3201.695 - 3219.617 Felix White

I'd like to say a quick go well on the marathon, a quick go well to Matt Chintendulka, King of the Sea, who gave me my answer on the marathon for Fighting Talk this Saturday morning, which scored me, I think, four points. I would have been in trouble without Matt Chintendulka's answers. So go well, Matt Chintendulka.

3220.077 - 3222.18 Matchin Tendulkar

No worries, mate. Happy to be your ghost writer anytime.

3223.24 - 3244.632 Greg James

engagement's done that one to becky who's running the london marathon bumped into yes i bumped into becky i was walking the dog the other day she was doing a training run and she shouted i'm listening to and so i'd say i shouted go well as she zoomed past and then she did it Josh finished the Manchester Marathon as well. Run well, go well to all of you.

3244.732 - 3264.773 Greg James

Henry should have been revising for his A-levels, but instead was watching Gloucestershire versus Lancashire on the live stream. That is a great use of your brain. You should do that. Much more important than A-levels. Amy saw someone dressed as a chilli at Edgbaston. Go well to you. It must be a grief-related incident. And what else have we got?
