Oral History of the ‘99 semi-final tie - Greatest Season - a podcast by Bad Producer Productions

Episode 2 - The Oral History of the ‘99 semi-final tie

In 2019 on The Greatest Season That Was, Adam made a 12-part series exploring whether the 1999 ODI World Cup was the most interesting global tournament. With Dan Brettig (The Age) and Shannon Gill (Code Sports), they spoke with many of the key players and administrators across seven weeks. The first time around, the episode that you’re about to hear – The Oral History of the 1999 semi-final tie between Australia and South Africa – was the series finale, with some brilliant guests from both teams who took the field that fateful day at Edgbaston. Given we’re now at the semi-final stage again in 2023, with the Aussies and Proteas drawn to play once more – it made sense to pop this our now. So, enjoy the detailed story of, perhaps, the most significant one-day international ever played. Support the show with a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalword
