Graham Thorpe

Season 3 · Episode 1

Thursday, August 15, 2024 • Duration 56:54

The 80s and 90s Cricket Show returns with a special episode following the death of Graham Thorpe.

Host Gary Naylor is joined by journalists Simon Wilde, Rob Smyth and Rob Bagchi to remember the late, great, former England batsman.

They consider Thorpe’s outstanding career and rebellious personality, alongside his mental health struggles and the positive impact that talking about them had on others.

The 80s and 90s Cricket Show is sponsored by Mark Sellek of Anderton Law.

David Gower: 1985 Ashes, plus Phillip DeFreitas

Season 2 · Episode 5

Monday, November 22, 2021 • Duration 01:26:34

Host, Gary Naylor, is joined by Pat Murphy, Mike Selvey and the man who held up The Urn at The Oval, the one and only David Gower. They look back to 1985 when Ian Botham swung the bat and Richard Ellison swung the ball and we thought it might always be this way. Our Player of the Pod is Phil DeFreitas, a supremely gifted cricketer whom England managed to drop and recall repeatedly.

Nehru Cup and England Nearly Men XIs

Season 2 · Episode 3

Monday, November 8, 2021 • Duration 01:19:25

Host, Gary Naylor, is joined by Derek Pringle, Rob Smyth and Rob Steen to look back on the 1989 Nehru Cup, a seven nation event that anticipated both the Champions Trophy and Pakistan's World Cup triumph still three years in the future. In the second innings, the panel choose their England Nearly Men XIs, the players who didn't quite make it and those who weren't given much of a chance. Will your favourite get a mention?

Angus Fraser, plus England v West Indies 1991

Season 2 · Episode 2

Monday, October 18, 2021 • Duration 01:19:51

The 80s and 90s Cricket Show (sponsored by Mark Sellek of Anderton Law) is back for Season 2 with old favourites and new guests to look back on the good, the bad and the ugly over a couple of decades of English cricket.

In Episode 2, host Gary Naylor is joined by Mike Selvey, Derek Pringle and Rob Smyth to give the old warhorse, Angus Fraser, another canter round the paddock. In the second innings, they look back to one of English cricket's great forgotten series, 1991's five Test epic against the West Indies. They assess exactly how good was Graham Gooch's legendary 154 not out, get under the wide brim of Richie Richardson's sunhat and find a place for a 2-2 right next to a more famous 2-1, 14 years later.

Jack Russell, plus the 1990-91 Ashes series

Season 2 · Episode 1

Monday, October 18, 2021 • Duration 01:04:47

In Episode 1, host Gary Naylor is joined by Peter Hayter, Mike Selvey and Pat Murphy to stand up to the stumps with the eccentric genius, Jack Russell. The series of the week is England's 3-0 Ashes defeat in 1990-91, a result that does little service to a clash much closer than it sounds. We learn of the growing rift between Graham Gooch and David Gower, of trips to the casino, of missing stories and of the early growls of the Australian monster that bellowed so loudly in the 90s.

Graham Gooch on Phil Tufnell, plus India v England 1992/93

Season 1 · Episode 6

Monday, November 9, 2020 • Duration 01:25:36

Former England captain Graham Gooch joins Gary Naylor, Peter Hayter and Pat Murphy to discuss the career of Phil Tufnell, a left-arm spinner who received his first Test cap under Gooch and who then found himself in and out of both trouble and the England team throughout the nineties. As you’d expect, there are plenty of behind the scenes tales of high jinks and misdemeanours. Then they dissect England’s disastrous tour of India in 1992/93, with reflections from the skipper on the decision to leave David Gower at home (and the subsequent outcry), dodgy prawns, baffling selections and backfiring PR stunts.

Nasser Hussain, plus England v West Indies 1988

Season 1 · Episode 5

Monday, November 2, 2020 • Duration 01:13:52

Derek Pringle, Mike Selvey and Rob Smyth join Gary Naylor to discuss Nasser Hussain’s early career. Derek was a teammate of Nasser’s for Essex and England and he gives us insight from inside the dressing room. How did this headstrong young batsman become a transformative national skipper? Pringle was also one of the many players used by England during the chaotic 1988 series against the West Indies, with Mike Gatting, John Emburey, Chris Cowdrey and Graham Gooch all leading the hosts against Viv Richards, Malcolm Marshall and co in the ‘summer of four captains’.

West Indies v England 1993/94, plus Graeme Hick

Season 1 · Episode 4

Monday, October 19, 2020 • Duration 01:29:47

Peter Hayter, Emma John and Rob Smyth join Gary Naylor to discuss how Mike Atherton’s inexperienced England tourists fared against Brian Lara and the West Indies in early 1994. There are tales of Miller’s bar, blotto copy and teenage trauma, along with colourful memories of Curtly Ambrose and 46 all out, an unlikely victory in Barbados and Lara’s world record test score. And will the panel reach any consensus over the enigma that is Graeme Hick? They attempt to weigh his extraordinary talent and considerable achievements against the times when his England performances didn’t meet people’s huge expectations.

1986/87 Ashes and Malcolm Marshall

Season 1 · Episode 3

Monday, October 5, 2020 • Duration 01:17:48

Chris Broad, Pat Murphy and Mike Coward join Gary Naylor to discuss England’s triumphant tour of Australia in 1986/87 which saw the Ashes retained and limited overs success to boot. Broad himself hit three hundreds to help Mike Gatting’s team hang on to the urn. There’s fascinating insight from inside the England camp, terrific analysis on the struggles of Allan Border’s Australia and copious name-dropping in connection with the tour’s active social scene. The quartet also talk about the career and qualities of the much-missed, “incomparable” Malcolm Marshall, who stood out even amongst his West Indies fast-bowling contemporaries as a true great.
