The Final Word with Paul Kelly

74 min

Season 11, Ep 19: "His voice - sly and warm, laconic and sometimes frail - may be the closest thing we have to a national one." According to Robert Forster, that is Paul Kelly, whose music is well into its fifth decade of capturing audiences. He is associated with a complex national identity in a way that few can manage, through tales ranging from Vincent Lingiari's land protests to adolescent stupidity to the trials of the Melbourne-Sydney bus route. Paul Kelly also loves cricket, having sung about Don Bradman, Usman Khawaja and Shane Warne. After a summer steeped in the Ashes, we're warmed in the heart to welcome Paul to The Final Word.

The inevitable exit of Justin Langer

84 min
View

Season 11, Ep 16: Over a year ago, Cricket Australia knew they had an issue with Justin Langer. Instead of working out a respectful, dignified solution, they put off doing anything until the whole thing fell in a heap. It has been bruising for Langer, for Patrick Cummins, and for anyone else invested in the issue. Goodwill has given way to bad faith. We try to unpick the disaster. Also this week, England's women fall apart to end the Ashes, England's men sack their own coaches, and Australia's squads for the women's World Cup and the Pakistan Tests are named.

Season 11, Ep 5: Few bigger weeks for the show to return: this was the week when Azeem Rafiq's testimony to a parliamentary hearing shook cricket in the UK, after years of him reporting racist conduct as a player at Yorkshire have been dismissed and covered up. It was an extraordinary moment of truth. The ramifications may be felt more widely than in one country.

Still, given how much we enjoyed exploring some deep partnership data, more North American gallivanting, a meeting of wagering enthusiasts, a mid-match vanishing act, and the activities on Don Bradman's honeymoon, we trust that this episode will stay true to its name by giving us pleasure at the same time as doing so for you.
