100 - Episode 100

Now, hello, everybody.

Halfway up middle, on strike.

Bola runs in.

I think we're at the Grange, yeah? Bola runs in.

Huge crowd, falls quiet.

Decent length delivery, roundabout middle and leg, but with a great deal of style and flair, nudged away down to fine leg for a single.

Batsman Cross, up comes 100th podcast.

Raise your bat.

Sports fans, welcome to episode 100 of Halfway Up Middle.

We have been in the nervous 90s for a long time, but we've finally managed to get ourselves into triple figures and we are raising our bat to all our previous guests, but more importantly to all the sports fans who have kept us going over this time.

I'm now going to go to my co-host, Pierre, who is in the capital.

How are things, mate?

Yeah, very good, Liam.

And it's great to get a century up.

I can't...

Listen, the only person who can lay credit to that century is yourself.

You were very kind to allow me to join, I think, about 20 or so episodes in.

I think I was a guest a couple of times before that, but...

But yeah, huge credit to yourself.

I know this started in the depths of COVID, so it's a century that has taken almost as long as...

As a Geoffrey Boycott century, in some respects, five plus years to get to.

But a huge credit to you in particular for being the host for the most throughout.

A great effort.

And I can't echo enough the people who have listened and indeed all our guests who have been on over the years.

And hopefully we can get a few more knocked off, a few more runs knocked off.

I'm right in thinking, Liam, this would be your first century in cricketing terms, isn't it? Yeah.
