  • England's Crawley and Bashir issues

    England's Crawley and Bashir issues
    2025/04/09
    The County Championship season has started and with England's first Test of the summer just a few weeks away we check in on two players who's season hasn't started exactly as they would've liked. Zak Crawley is badly out of nick, so what do England do if he can't rediscover his mojo soon? At least he's an automatic choice for his county though, which is more than can be said for Shoaib Bashir. Matt and Azeem debate whether he should still be considered England's premier spinner and if his development would be helped by playing a lot more county cricket. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Adam Collins on the future of cricket

    Adam Collins on the future of cricket
    2025/04/03
    Commentator, Writer and Podcaster Adam Collins joins Matt for a deep look into where cricket is heading and what the future may look like. When the inevitable Saudi Arabian money enters the game will Indian cricket welcome them with open arms or go head to head in competition? Will cricket become like football where all the power, money and interest is held by the domestic teams and International matches become less relevant? And will Test cricket only be played by three or four countries in the future? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    The Mental Health Episode
    2025/03/26
    It's good to talk. Most people have had issues with maintaining their mental health and Matt and Azeem are no different.

  • The Cricket Scotland racism affair that won't go away

    The Cricket Scotland racism affair that won't go away
    2025/03/19
    Remember the Cricket Scotland racism storm? Unlike what happened with Azeem and Yorkshire, it all seems to have gone very quiet north of the border. Cricket Scotland commissioned reports into what happened but were determined to keep their findings a secret. However in the last few days one of these reports has been leaked and it found that former player Majid Haq WAS racially discriminated against. So why was all this brushed under the carpet and why has no one been held accountable? Aamer Anwar is the renowned lawyer who represented Majid and Qasim Sheikh when they made their powerful accusations of racism and he lifts the lid on a case that seems to have disappeared from view. He tells us about how the situation has deeply affected his two clients, how Cricket Scotland just wanted to whole situation to go away and why the organisation should be shut down.

  • Dubai helped, but India too good anyway

    Dubai helped, but India too good anyway
    2025/03/11
    A forgettable Champions Trophy comes to an end but that shouldn't detract from another flawless tournament performance by India. Sure they had some well publicised advantages - which should never happen again - but you get the impression they would have won anywhere in the world, probably even Iceland. They have now lost 15 tosses in a row, is Rohit Sharma's captaincy actually a bit underrated?! Harry Brook has pulled out of the IPL, Azeem isn't convinced it's the right decision. Oh and Matt calls Glenn Phillips a clubbie....sorry Glenn! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
