It’s all rather appropriate that we are recording our analysis of the Ashes in a
pub, albeit a virtual one. In the wake of England’s defeat there has been a LOT of news and revelations about England’s love of a beer or two. I’ll hold our hands up here though. I’m not sure your Guerillas are shining beacons of
sobriety and upright behaviour. That said, we weren’t the ones playing to win the Ashes either.
We indulge in a bit of role...

Our guest for this Ashes special is lovable, if loquacious, Liverpudlian Gary
Nayor. BUT, and here’s the shock, the lad struggles to actually get a word in
as the Bear’s boosterish optimism ploughs forth like a runaway train!
You don’t need me to tell you the situation. England are a familiar two down in an away Ashes. A media frenzy is declaring the death of Bazball. England’s captain is questioning whether there might be some ‘weak men’ in the...

Over and Out is the story of a neglected cricket hero. Albert Trott was good enough to play for Australia and England, but at the height of his powers no Test team would pick him. He brought an Ashes series to life by taking 8 – 43 on debut and his batting average for Australia was 102.5. He is also one of only two players to take two hat-tricks in the same first-class innings.
He is perhaps most famous though for his exploits on 31st July 1899 when he powered Monty Noble’s delivery up and over the Lords pavilion. Yet sadly there is no portr...

Will there be cricket in 2020, and who makes that call?
SHOULD there be cricket in 2020, and does it even matter?
Should the Hundred be postponed?
The need for creativity and connection is greater than ever, and we hope we address that need over the course of this pod. In that spirit we'll be podding every week throughout the COVID cricket crisis...

The Guerilla Cricket PodcastGuerillashire - Duncan Hamilton
Neville Cardus’ two great passions were music and cricket. He described how one majestic stroke maker ‘made music’ and ‘spread beauty’ with his bat. Between the two wars, he became the laureate of cricket by doing the same with words.
In this latest Guerillashire, Tony Bishop interviews multi award winning author Duncan Hamilton, who in ‘The Great Romantic’, casts a new light on the enigmatic Cardus and demonstrates how he changed spots journalism for ever.
Along with Annie Chave, the discussion also covers Hamilton’s life and work, including ‘Kings of Summer’ a treasure of a book that takes us back to the final game...

The Guerilla Cricket PodcastWhy Is KG The Only One?In the first Guerilla Cricket Podcast of 2020, we have some big questions to answer. In matters purely of willow and leather, there's the vexed issue of mandatory 4 day Tests, and a South Africa v England Test series heading into its 3rd Test finely poised.
But we don't have the luxury of keeping it inside the boundary - with the Proteas' commitment to transforming what was for so long an all-white cricketing culture under question, host Nakul Pande and (live from Port Elizabeth) Daniel Gallan work out what's gone wrong and how it might be put right.

Host Nakul Pande and guest Tasneem-Summer Sadiq Khan pore over the footage and hit the scorebooks to find out.
