About this episode
The episode discusses an extraordinary semi-final match in the Mens T20 World Cup where England nearly achieved a remarkable victory against India.
What a match in Mumbai! England nearly pulled off a 'cricketing miracle' in a game that saw almost 500 runs scored. The Tailenders assemble - complete with Issy Wong and her Network Of Spies - to look back at an extraordinary semi final that resulted in India making it to the Mens T20 World Cup Final where they will face New Zealand. Plus Mattchin goes deep into the data (sort of) to find out what makes New Zealand such a cricketing force. AND find out why Fe won’t listen to Jimi Hendrix...
