fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 11 Nov 2022 05:00:00 +0000

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 4 Nov 2022 04:00:00 +0000

In this episode, it’s Hong Kong, one-half of a cricketing rivalry older than the Ashes. This is about recovering from a shipwreck that claimed most of its cricketers, a novel cricket format, a batter whose six-hitting stopped a match, and using social media to recruit cricketers.

Namibia: The Small Team with the Big Dreams

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 28 Oct 2022 04:00:00 +0000

In this episode, it’s Namibia, a country a little more than three decades old who have already caused ripples in world cricket. This is about a doctor and conservationist who played World Cups in two different sports in the same year, a world record in first-class cricket, South African imports, and an ICC Trophy heartbreak.

Denmark: The Hand-Made Cricket Team

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 10:50:00 +0000

In this episode, it's Denmark, a country that produced an English Test player, a Derbyshire cult hero, a run machine who won two Olympic silver medals, and had to learn how to manufacture their own failed cricket bats during a World War. They also formed one half of continental Europe's greatest cricket rivalry, and somehow never made a men's World Cup.

Argentina: The Test Nation That Should Have Been

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Thu, 6 Oct 2022 16:00:00 +0000

Cricket took off in Argentina surprisingly early. They beat English teams from time to time. They played an international match before Test cricket was born. With some luck, they could have played Test cricket. And if you take Guyana away, they are the best cricketing nation in South America.

Canada: The First International Cricket Team

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 30 Sep 2022 04:00:00 +0000

Canada played the USA in the first International Cricket Match. They also played in the early World Cups. In the 1960s and 70s they were often thought of as a future Test nation, and that is not even including when they beat the Australians.

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 23 Sep 2022 08:42:00 +0000

This episode of Double Century is on Fiji, a team that beat the West Indies, troubled a Richie Benaud New South Wales team, and were so good, one of their players should have played for New Zealand. This episode is on stamps, Presidents, Pat Cummins' agent and the Fijian Bradman with the hardest to pronounce name in cricket, Ilikena Lasarusa Talebulamainavaleniveivakabulaimainakulalakebalau.

The Smile From The Gloom

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 15 Jul 2022 04:00:00 +0000

The end of Aubrey Faulkner's life was about cameos, one-off comebacks and coaching. Eventually his demons got to him, but the men he coached, they carried the legacy that sadly he couldn't see he was building.

In this episode we look at how good a player Aubrey Faulkner became, still the only man averaging over 40 runs with the bat and under 30 with the ball with 50 wickets. But from there, he went on to create a cricket coaching utopia as well.

Zimbabwe's Chicken Farmer

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 1 Oct 2021 05:00:00 +0000

This episode of Double Century is sadder than the rest, because of where Zimbabwe cricket finds itself over the last 20 years. But there are incredible stories here of beating the Australians, dismissing the greatest Zimbabwean, the black arm protest and most importantly, the time they beat the English.

Afghanistan's Last Almost

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 10 Sep 2021 05:06:50 +0000

This week we’re adding a bonus episode on Afghanistan, the most likely team to beat England in the next few years. This is not a standard Double Century, it’s not a written and narrated piece. It’s just me talking about Afghanistan, how they almost beat England and wondering if they’ll get a chance again.

Sri Lanka's Way

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 27 Aug 2021 05:00:00 +0000

We're back! This week is Sri Lanka’s turn beating England. By this point Sri Lanka were a World Cup winner, and still, England were only giving them a single Test. So they made that Test count in a style of their own making.

South Africa's Broad-Shouldered All-Rounders

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 6 Aug 2021 06:00:00 +0000

This episode is focusing on when South Africa defeated England for the first time. It includes their first Test win, and then also their first series win. And what makes it all the more remarkable was how poor they had been before, how much wrist spin they had on their team and because the Boer War had only just finished.

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 30 Jul 2021 06:00:00 +0000

This episode it is Scotland's turn. A proud small cricketing nation who has produced players for England, and then suddenly decided to grow themselves. We talk to Calum MacLeod, who made a few that game, on what turned out to be an incredible day for the team that always seemed to miss its chance.

Pakistan's Fast, Stylised Chaos

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 06:00:00 +0000

It is Pakistan's turn to defeat England, and as you would expect, this is fun. And they didn't beat any England team, but one of the best ever. It involves a family tension over the captaincy, ordinary batting, terrible fielding, and perhaps the greatest fast bowling weapon any team has started Test cricket with.

New Zealand's Greatest Draw

New Zealand had an incredibly tough run at the start of their Test cricket journey. So their biggest win over England wasn’t even a win. It’s when their 49ers came to England to draw the series, for respect.

When Kevin O'Brien Got Grumpy

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 2 Jul 2021 06:00:00 +0000

Ireland have a long history in cricket, but their international journey is still new. And they have perhaps the most complicated relationship with modern England as their players learnt their craft in the county game, and the current England white ball captain is Irish. In this episode we focus on that incredible chase, but instead of me narrating it, we’ll let the Irish batters take you through it.

India have become the most important team in cricket, but they certainly didn’t start this way. England and Australia barely played them, they struggled with fast bowling and the crowds of England were generally apathetic to them. And then the Oval Test happened.

But we can’t get there without looking at Bangladesh players for Pakistan, losing to Denmark, and the players they discarded on a whim.

Fast bowling had two revolutions, one was at the head, and it's an often-told story. But the other was at the feet. This is the story of how Pakistan, and then everyone else, discovered reverse swing. Meaning the old ball will never be the same again.

#04 - Overarm Bowling

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Mon, 15 Jun 2020 06:00:00 +0000

Without doubt the biggest change that ever happened to cricket was the bowling going overarm. Before it was game, that turned it into a sport. Here we track those who changed our sport forever and talk about why some tried to stop it. This was a 70 year battle where good triumphed over underarm.

#03 - Hitting Behind

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Mon, 8 Jun 2020 08:22:43 +0000

The game we enjoy today was not born fully formed, the pitch and gear has developed over time. But so have the batsman, and what this episode tries to do is take you through how different parts of the field were opened up until batsmen were hitting over their own heads.

#02 - The Wrong One

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 5 Jun 2020 16:16:42 +0000

For this episode we’re talking about the greatest delivery ever invented, the wrong’un. It's such a remarkable delivery, in that now people know how it works, and yet batsmen still can't play it. A delivery that helped cricket develop over 100 years ago and is still doing it today.

#01 - The Birth of Test Cricket

fanswithlaptops@gmail.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Mon, 1 Jun 2020 12:21:28 +0000

A few years ago I wrote a book called Test cricket: the unauthorised biography. This is a podcast series on the history of cricket through the people and moments that made the game. In our first episode we go back to the beginning of Test cricket. That birth involved betting, jail and a journalist deciding the whole thing was worthy.
