·26 min·1 clip

What a great advert for over-70s cricket and athletic excellence at any age.

Grant and Trev provide live-action commentary and analysis of the over-70s World Cup cricket final between England and Australia. England bats first and dominates through a 153-run partnership between Jim Phillips and Chris Evans at the top of the order, reaching 180 for no wickets after 30 overs. Though some momentum is lost late in the innings (final score 288), England posts a competitive total. Australia never seriously challenges despite Lee Hardman's 68-run contribution, reaching only 158 for 5 as they fall short needing 132 off 30 overs. The hosts celebrate the exceptional athletic display from players in their seventies, examining tactical decisions and individual performances throughout.
