Ahead of the Eight BallEpisode 17 - Yeah well, basically I've checked all other possibilities and it's come down to being rattled. I don't know, The Ashes? Sorry, who is this I'm talking to?We are back with another episode about the Ashes but because it is 10 months out and not a lot is going on, we mainly talk about our favourite jokes from Viz, proboscis monkeys and pitches.
Stuff we talk about;
All run 7 from our friends at Wisden
Darren Lehman on Joe Root

2024-01-1848 minAhead of the Eight BallEpisode 13 - Politics (not really)We sort of talk about cricket and how politicians use it for their lazy references. Loads of World Cup chat, stare out champinships and the new feature CBWP (Cricketers Bad Wikipedia Photos). CBWP #1 - Damien Martyn.

2023-07-0655 minAhead of the Eight BallEpisode 10 - Test Cricket is/isn’t DyingWe have nudged and nurdled our way slowly to double figures.

2023-06-1431 minAhead of the Eight BallEpisode 9 - Root MathsDave and Mick talk about stat noncing and why Joe Root had a golden period which coined the phrase, Root Maths.
2023-04-2731 minAhead of the Eight BallEpisode 8 - NighthawkThe latest Ahead of the Eight Ball discusses an exciting recent addition to the language of cricket. It's mainly associated with a seasoned cricket comedy operator despite/because of the fact he has never actually performed the role. Dave and Mick talk about what a Nighthawk is and, far more importantly, what it isn't. Because people are already getting this wrong.
2023-02-1542 minAhead of the Eight BallEpisode 7 - MankadsFinally, there's a podcast willing to talk about mankads, as Dave and Mick bang on for a bit about whether they're okay, why they're happening now, whether they should be called mankads at all and the pleasingly forthright MCC stance.
2023-02-0749 minAhead of the Eight BallEpisode 6 - BAZBALL!With the England men's Test team back in action this week, Dave and Mick discuss the word on everyone's lips apart from those of Dean Elgar who definitely hasn't given it a second thought, actually. It's time for more BAZBALL!
2022-08-1642 minAhead of the Eight BallEpisode 5 - Loves their CricketA lot has happened in cricket over the last few weeks, much of it very on brand for previous episodes of Ahead of the Eight Ball which means it is itself ahead of the eight ball, in a way. Dave and Mick discuss all these matters as well as the phenomenon of famous people who aren't cricketers but nevertheless Love Their Cricket.
2022-06-2945 minAhead of the Eight BallEpisode 4 - Highest Successful Fourth Innings Run-Chases ft. Tom EvansDave and Dave's brother Mick come dangerously close to actually fulfilling their promise of delivering a fortnightly podcast as they are joined by Cricket Twitter stalwart Tom Evans to finally answer the very biggest question in the sport - Highest Successful Fourth Innings Run-Chases: harmless, vaguely interesting stat or scourge on the game to be eradicated at all costs?

Dan LiebkeAustralian podcaster, humorist, author and doyen of Funny Cricket Dan Liebke joins Dave and Dave's brother Mick to discuss cricket's obsession with round numbers, the daft idea of deserving a century and pay their own small tribute to the great and ridiculous Shane Warne.

2022-03-0350 minAhead of the Eight BallEpisode 1 - Behind the Eight BallOnly one place to start, and that’s where every England captain finds themselves sooner or later. Behind the eight ball. An all-conquering titan of cricket clichedom that has spawned a nonsensical series of variations including the title of the podcast after we picked after realising someone had already done one called Behind The Eight Ball, which was annoying. We’ve decided “Ahead of the Eight Ball” is actually a better name, but are probably only fooling ourselves.
