Graham Thorpe

David Gower: 1985 Ashes, plus Phillip DeFreitas

Season 2 · Episode 5

lundi 22 novembre 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.

Robin Smith, plus the 1992 Cricket World Cup

Season 1 · Episode 2

lundi 21 septembre 2020 • Duration 01:19:38

Derek Pringle, Mike Selvey and Rob Smyth join Gary Naylor to discuss the swashbuckling former England and Hampshire batsman Robin Smith. Derek roomed with him for England, Rob helped him write his revealing autobiography and Mike watched Smith’s international career closely from the press box, so there’s no shortage of insight about ‘The Judge’. Both Robin and Derek were part of England’s 1992 World Cup campaign and there’s a fascinating, in-depth chat about that memorable tournament as well, when Imran Khan’s Pakistan beat England in the final. Oh and listen out for the year’s best Christopher Martin-Jenkins anecdote. The 80’s and 90’s Cricket Show is sponsored by Anderton Law. Get involved on Twitter (@CricShow80s90s).

Ian Botham (after '81) and West Indies v England 1990

Season 1 · Episode 1

lundi 7 septembre 2020 • Duration 01:14:38

Ian Botham (who else?) is the iconic player under examination in the first ever episode. Gary Naylor debates the second half of Beefy’s career with three men who have all written books with or about the great man - veteran BBC cricket reporter Pat Murphy, cricket correspondent of the Sunday Times Simon Wilde and Peter Hayter, columnist at The Cricket Paper. The quartet also discuss the highlights and flashpoints of England’s controversial Caribbean tour against the mighty West Indies in early 1990, with fabulous on-the-spot insight and countless vivid Viv Richards anecdotes. The 80s and 90s Cricket Show is sponsored by Anderton Law. Get involved on Twitter (@CricShow80s90s).

Coming Soon - starts September!

Season 1

dimanche 30 août 2020 • Duration 00:28

The 80s and 90s Cricket Show revisits the days of Botham and Gower, Viv Richards, Allan Border, and Javed Miandad - the days before T20, when test matches had rest days, when chairmen of selectors couldn’t recall names of players, blamed getting beaten on astrology, and once selected 4 captains and 29 players in a single summer. Gary Naylor will be joined by the likes of Derek Pringle, Mike Selvey, Rob Smyth, Peter Hayter, Pat Murphy and Simon Wilde to discuss the best and worst of cricket at the end of the 20th century. The Eighties and Nineties Cricket Show is sponsored by Anderton Law.

Devon Malcolm, plus the 1999 Cricket World Cup

Season 2 · Episode 4

lundi 15 novembre 2021 • Duration 01:35:25

Gary Naylor is joined by Peter Hayter, Emma John and Rob Smyth to profile the history man himself, Devon Malcolm. In the second innings, relive the thrills and spills (and there were plenty) of the 1999 Cricket World Cup.

Nehru Cup and England Nearly Men XIs

Season 2 · Episode 3

lundi 8 novembre 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

lundi 18 octobre 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

lundi 18 octobre 2021 • Duration 01:04:47

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 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

lundi 9 novembre 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. The 80s and 90s Cricket Show is sponsored by Anderton Law. Get involved on Twitter (@CricShow80s90s).
