It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, one question: was there any game played in the 19th century that wasn't at Lord's? A self-styled pioneer with a pseudonym certainly got his fill of pavilion lunches. Also, do South Australians play for South Australia? We test facts against myth, as well as an unlikely trip to Los Angeles, and a clean sweep even rarer than we imagined.

South Africa Australia Daily, 3rd ODI, Potchefstroom: South Africa gave some of their younger players a gallop in the North-West University town, and Australia let their big names stretch their legs. Alex Carey and Pat Cummins made Australia look comfortable, but Oliver Peake and Xavier Bartlett might get the country excited for the future, and Ryan Rickelton and gave South Africa huge momentum. It was set up for another box-office day. Dan Gallan joins Geoff Lemon. Could you support the show? You can send us a Nerd Pledge or become a member at patreon.com/thefinalword.

Season 20, Episode 32: We called it: CA chair Mike Baird has been knocked off by New South Wales, and the cricket privatisation war could now turn in any directions Can we short-circuit the conflict by crowdfunding the Renegades, and signing Will Bosisto into the bargain? Over in South Africa, the Aussies are floundering in the pyjamas, Kagiso Rabada has been in the hyperbaric chamber with Kouta, and Pat Cummins may not be fit.

South Africa Australia Daily, 2nd ODI, Johannesburg: Australia were bullish at the Bullring, talking about levelling the series. South Africa's batters levelled the Australians. The chase was hefty, but the chasing was just as Bison-sized. So could the visitors correct their course this time around, and make use of another massive opening stand? Not when Australia's middle order is busted. Call it Cam Green syndrome. Could you support the show? You can send us a Nerd Pledge or become a member at patreon.com/thefinalword.

Who Cares To Admit Complete Defeat? Step One in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions opens with a hard question: who wants to admit complete defeat? For most of us, admitting powerlessness sounds like losing. But the 12 & 12 turns that idea around—admitting powerlessness becomes the beginning of liberation. Today we're talking about why complete defeat can be so difficult to accept, the mental obsession and physical reaction that keep the alcoholic trapped, and why humility has such a direct connection to sobriety. Step One is not about convincing ourselves that we are worthless. It is about finally recognizing the truth about alcohol and what happens when we try to manage it ourselves. Maybe defeat is not the end at all. Maybe admitting we have lost the old fight is exactly what allows a completely different life to begin. #TheDailyTrudge #StepOne #CompleteDefeat #AlcoholicsAnonymous #TwelveAndTwelve #Recovery #Sobriety #Powerlessness #Humility
South Africa Australia Daily, 1st ODI, Durban: In the lead-up to the Test series, this one-day series has extra significance. Starc was here, so was Hazlewood, with Cummins in the wings. And in true one-day style, this first game twisted, turned, drifted, and dipped. Matthew Breetzke and Big Marco Jansen had a time, then Mitchell Marsh went into overdrive. The result would rely on how to deal with spin. Hello, Ke$hav Maharaj. Could you support the show? You can send us a Nerd Pledge or become a member at patreon.com/thefinalword.

Negative thoughts can feel relentless, especially in a dressing room, in front of a mirror, or anywhere body-image fears get loud. But today Heather Creekmore explains why simply telling yourself to “take your thoughts captive” often doesn’t work. In this episode, Heather explores 2 Corinthians 10:5 and clarifies that taking thoughts captive isn’t thought suppression, positive thinking, "Jedi mind tricks," or a battle of willpower. The deeper issue is often the belief beneath the thought. In this episode Why taking thoughts captive is not step one 02:19 What “captive” means in the context of spiritual warfare 03:54 How negative body-image thoughts can reveal doubts about God’s character 04:23 Why trying to suppress thoughts can make them feel even more persistent 07:26 The difference between a thought arriving and choosing to dwell on it 08:00 How hidden beliefs shape recurring negative thoughts 08:39 What “I believe, help my unbelief” has to do with thought battles 13:03 Why confession and knowing God’s character come before taking thoughts captive 19:32 How bringing secret struggles into the light can help expose lies 22:26 What to Do Before Taking Thoughts Captive: Get honest about what’s underneath the thought. A thought like “I look horrible in this dress” may be connected to a deeper fear of being rejected or unworthy of love. Confess the lie and the unbelief beneath it. Remember who God is by searching Scripture for specific truth about His character. Invite trusted people to speak truth with grace and help bring the struggle into the light. Take the thought captive once it has been exposed as a lie and brought under the truth of God’s Word.

Season 20, Episode 31: With Mike Baird's CA board seat at risk, a resignation has seen an independent spot open up. Deidre Chambers, what a coincidence. Stephen Fleming arrives as England's adult in the room, while Mark Wood announced his retirement much more slowly than he bowled. Australia have a fun tussle with Zimbabwe on their way to South Africa, Leicestershire's pitch rating sees them relegated, and Somerset fumble another chance to win their first County Championship.

Send us Fan Mail“We admitted we were powerless… and our lives had become unmanageable.” If those words make you feel smaller instead of safer, you're not broken and you're not failing recovery. I'm sharing a raw, solo deep dive into Step One and why the traditional 12-step framing can hit differently when trauma is part of your story. I also talk about a recent personal shift, an “identity collapse” that finally freed me to speak clearly and directly about a modern, trauma-informed reframe of the 12 steps.I take you back to a pivotal moment: a cocaine overdose the same night I was accepted into my doctoral program, followed by the unsettling reality that fear didn't instantly stop my use. From there, I unpack why I initially recoiled at AA language and why labeling ourselves as “powerless” can reenact the very helplessness many of us already lived through. Yes, addiction can become chaotic and dangerous, and responsibility matters, but shame and harsh labels are not the same thing as accountability.Then we build something better. I offer an alternative Step One anchored in two simple, expansive ideas: release what you cannot control, especially what was done to you against your will, and reclaim your sovereignty, agency, and power over what you can change. If you're newly sober, questioning AA, or tired of repeating the words powerless and unmanageable, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs hope, and leave a review with the recovery language that actually helps you heal.To book a free discovery call with Dr. Sam, click the link below:https://calendly.com/drharte/free-discovery-call-w-dr-harteSupport the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney#personalgrowth#personaldevelopment#sobermovement#recoveroutloud#sobercurious#sobermoms#soberwomen#author#soberauthor#purpose#passion#perspective

England Pakistan Daily, 3rd Test, Edgbaston Day 4: For a final intoxicating moment, the chance of a miracle continued to beckon.

So last episode I made the case that medical student research should be banned, and I clearly touched a nerve. I got flooded with angry messages arguing against me, and honestly, I expected some backlash since it was a genuinely spicy take. But I want to be clear, I was being facetious, obviously nobody's going to actually ban med student research. What I actually want to unpack this episode is why this topic clearly struck such a nerve, and what's really driving the explosion in med student publications. I walk through some new data, including a study that found roughly a quarter of recent ophthalmology journal articles may contain AI-generated text, and another from Yale showing a real gap between the publications applicants claim on their residency applications and what's actually verifiable in PubMed. I also get into Goodhart's Law, the idea that when a measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure, and how that applies perfectly to what's happened since Step One went pass-fail. I share some thoughts on what might actually help, including capping how many publications students can list, and I make it clear I'm not trying to lead some crusade here, I just think this conversation needed to happen. Takeaways: Since Step One became pass-fail, medical students have shifted their focus to research output as a differentiator, and reported publication numbers have risen sharply as a result. A recent study found that roughly 26% of ophthalmology journal abstracts and 22% of commentaries screened in 2025 scored as likely containing AI-generated text. A Yale-affiliated study found that applicants to ophthalmology residency claimed an average of 4.9 publications, while only 2.4 were actually verifiable in PubMed. Goodhart's Law suggests that once a measure like publication count becomes a target used for residency selection, it stops accurately reflecting research quality or applicant ability. Starting with the 2027 application cycle, the AAMC is renaming the ERAS publications field to "scholarly works" in an attempt to shift emphasis from quantity to quality.

When discussing all-time greats, Zaheer Abbas' place is without dispute. An illustrious international career coupled with a remarkable First Class journey in Pakistan and England, his 46,000 professional runs tell the story in a line. Add to the fact that he's the only Asian to reach 100 First Class centuries, and you know this man was a ton machine as well as a stylist. His new book, A to Zed, tells the tales of a life in the game so well spent. In this chat with Daniel Norcross at The Oval, he adds to this his dismay at the state of modern Pakistani cricket – and this was recorded before their current calamitous Test series.

England Pakistan Daily, 2nd Test, Lord's Day 2: The second morning of the second Test began with promise for Pakistan. An injury before play, a wagging tail, and surgically precise bowling changed everything. England's varied attack challenged Pakistan at every turn, with just enough help in the air and on the ground for the metronomic, mercurial, the nibble, and the fire of England's fast bowlers. The day ended with the question no England fan wants to ask - is Joe Root starting to struggle? Yas Rana joins Daniel Norcross. Could you support the show?

England Pakistan Daily, 2nd Test, Lord's Day 2: Leaden skies, rain delays, ‘keeper up and a bit of swing and seam on offer gave Day 1 at the Lord's Test a familiar county cricket feel, and England struggled to deal with the Championship's best performer in recent times, Mohammad Abbas. Jamie Smith, with murmurs about his place in the team, was England's pick alongside his challenger Jordan Cox.

England's lingering disciplinary problems and the mounting pressure on the pitch at Lord's linger in the air. Whilst Pakistan as a unit will be under pressure, Babar Azam will feel the need to carry a weak Pakistan batting lineup.

Australia Bangladesh Daily, 1st Test, Darwin Day 3: Can Bangladesh hold their nerve? They're still well ahead of the game, but by now in a position where they can see how Australia might work their way into it. At the centre of this, the man under pressure, Cameron Green. But despite his work, another highly professional day at the office from Bangladesh's spinners and their premier two quicks, both with bat and ball. Bharat Sundaresan joins Geoff.

Australia Bangladesh Daily, 1st Test, Darwin Day 2: The show goes on. Bangladesh winning three sessions in a row in Australia was big news, but now they've gone to make it six, or at leave five and a tie. Australia are not out of this match yet, but a ruthlessly organised and professional performance from the tourists is far beyond what we expected. It's been a genuine thrill to watch this proper style Test match unfold. Bharat Sundaresan joins Geoff. Could you support the show?

Australia Bangladesh Daily, 1st Test, Darwin Day 1: We didn't see this one coming! Bangladesh arrived in the Top End underclubbed, understaffed, and got smashed in a warm-up game by a bunch of kids they'd never heard of. Surely they were going to get their butts handed to them in the Test match? Well, there's a long way to go, but Day 1 was for the ages. Could you support the show?
