1. Silver Stumps - the Over 60s/70s Cricket Podcast covers the Tri-Nations in the Midlands. 2. Trevor Lee hosts solo this week because Mr. Timms is indisposed, and he also previews a season review after 900-plus matches. 3. The episode asks what the Tri-Nations and 2025 summer say about England, the England Lions, Scotland, and Wales before Toronto 2026. 4. Lee says six scheduled matches over three days were cut to three matches over two days because of weather. 5. He notes England and the England Lions were playing their final internationals of the summer, with the Lions adding a 13th match against Scotland. 6. Jason Corn captained England against the Lions after Ed Gordon-Lennox was unavailable. 7. Corn had been vice-captain on the Grey Ashes tour down under in winter 2024, which Lee presents as a tactical factor. 8. Wales played Scotland after winning the county championship competition, while Scotland played under their new name, Scotland's seniors. 9. Lee says Scotland have also joined the International Masters Cricket Organisation, making them eligible for the 2026 Over-60s World Cup. 10. England reached 196 for 8 in 45 overs at the John Woolman ground, with Nick Gaywood making 62 and Jason Corn 31 not out. 11. Mohamed Zahid took 4 for 41 after his first ball to Timor Alam was hit for six. 12. Chris Bomer, Vince Mulholland, and Charles Schofield are mentioned as bowlers who added pressure or shaped selection talk. 13. The Lions finished 157 all out, with Zahid also their top scorer on 31. 14. Wales made 216 for 7 against Scotland, led by Mike Hayden's 34 and Michael Cann's 54. 15. Scotland were 162 for 17 for 2 at one stage, then lost five wickets for 10 runs and finished 159 all out. 16. Graham Garden's 57 and Peter Moses's 52 formed Scotland's best batting stand, while Anthony Smith took 3 for 29 for Wales. 17. Day two was a complete washout, and day three was reduced again by weather before the Lions played Scotland. 18. Lee's style is conversational and statistical, with frequent scorecards, player names, and team updates rather than long-form interview segments. 19. Listeners who follow over-60s cricket selection, scores, and squad planning will get the most from this. 20. Listeners wanting deep tactical breakdowns or long interviews may skip this.
