| 2024 Episode 12 - Rivals Week review, Jacob Bethell, Raphy Weatherall, Rishi Patel interviews, halfway thoughts | 25 Jun 2024 | 01:25:40 | |
Jarleth Eaton and Cam McFarlane are back for their last episode of the first block of the 2024 T20 Blast Podcast. In this show, the boys dissect the latest goings on at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, before they take a look at a brilliant Rivals Week, which saw Yorkshire beat Lancashire in the first Roses match among 10 other rivalry games. 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. Thanks as always for listening, and we'll see you in 10 days for the next show. In the meantime, follow @T20BlastPod on socials. | |||
