BBC Radio 5 Live


Greg James, Jimmy Anderson and Felix White take an alternative (and sometimes musical) look at cricket...


Tailenders

Mark Wood, one of our favourite cricketers in the world, is back on Tailenders with an update on his injury and what he’s been up to while recuperating, his plans for the future and what it was like to be on the pitch during THAT Travis Head Innings.

Plus Issy Wong joins us with the latest from the Hundred Auction and Mattchin introduces a new force in Cricket...Chas Fireball!

Mark Wood, Issy Wong and Chas Fireball

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...

Emergency Podcast: Semi-final thriller

So who makes our England Mens Team of the 21st Century? Is it Stokes or Flintoff as the all-rounder? Who gets the nod as ‘keeper? What about openers? Is there room for Stuart Broad? Plus England keep winning at the Men's T20 World Cup without impressing - can they go all the way? Mattchin has a new ’stats based quiz’ and the art of the sports reporter.

Team of the 21st Century

We’ve been loving the performances of the so called ‘Associates’ at the Men’s T20 World Cup, so this week we’re joined by ICC commentator Andrew Leonard to chat all things Associate Cricket.

Plus what caused the Tailenders WhatsApp Group to explode on Wednesday night, ‘Correspondence of Uncertainty’ and who has Mattchin stolen his latest quiz format from?

The Associates

1922: The BBC was formed;
1936: The BBC launches TV service from Alexandra Palace;
1967: Radio 1 hits the airwaves;
1979: The BBC starts 24 hour Radio broadcasts;
1983: BBC Breakfast TV begins;
1994: BBC Radio 5 Live is launched;
2002: CBBC starts broadcasting;
2018: BBC Sounds is unveiled…..

...and now, in 2026 - following on from this prestigious history of public service broadcasting - Mattchin introduces a Brand New Format which has ’never been tried before’ - his words! 

Plus why we’re loving the Mens T20 World Cup and your reviews.

Rage to Riches

After Nepal nearly cause one of the biggest shocks ever against England, The Tailenders assemble to review the start of the T20 World Cup, where the ‘minnows’ are causing a few problems for the more established teams.

Plus Mattchin is back with an' International Relations Based Quiz’, Felix is on his travels, pronunciations and the hunt for Phon Buntheon continues.

International Relations: Nepal and The Netherlands

Scotland and Lancashire’s Michael Jones joins us to tell us about how one minute he was doing pre-season training with Jimmy at Lancs, the next he’s in India for the World Cup.

Plus Issy Wong is back with all the news from the WBBL and more Italian Cricket History.

World Cup Dreams

It’s time to open the phones lines again for our second innings of ‘Little Yearns’. We cover broken bats, linseed oil, farts, Covid caps, helmet hair, Win Viz, TV graphics, and why did Chris Woakes put Jimmy’s cap down his trousers?

Little Yearns - The Second Innings

So after the doom and gloom of The Ashes it’s time to banish the January Blues and look to the future. And to help us forget about what happened in Australia we’re joined by one of our favourite players on the planet - Wayne Madsen.

Mattchin has a brand new original quiz which is so good it could go on BBC TV at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, plus names for Jimmy’s bar, and a bit more guitar.

Uno, Due, Tre, Quattro, Cinque

No more sleepless nights, no more doom scrolling and no more ‘it’s the hope that kills you’, The Ashes are over and like the England team The Tailenders are limping to the end of the series.

Felix is ill and can only join us ‘down the line’ from his Doctors, so the ex England wicketkeeper Matt Prior is our 12th Man. 

While Mattchin, to the dismay of the footballing world, has done his hamstring and is on crutches, yet despite this he manages one more round of his classic ‘Am I lying or am I Nathan Lyon?’.

We review the series, look to the future of English cricket and try to work out what the hell happened in Australia over the winter. Plus we have an 'exclusive'…albeit from 2007 and would Jimmy fancy being the England coach?

Review, Revelations and Relief

The Tailenders assemble for an ‘Emergency Podcast’ with the inside story to the final day at the SCG.
