In this LEGEND/ICON episode we chat with England hero, ICC cricketer of the year 2011 Jonathan Trott!

We are so pleased to get our former teammate on the show. Trotty is a fantastic batter who has had an awesome career and although he isnt an out and out bowler his insights are great to hear. He also happens to be a great storyteller. Trotty is the current Afghanistan head coach so as well as having a steller playing career  he is able to to give us a unique perspective on bowling with his head coach hat on!

We discuss the best bowler Trotty has faced and why. What the difference is between a county and test bowler. Which bowlers Trotty finds hardest to face and we also discuss that incident at the T20 world cup!

In this special guest episode we chat with sports aerodynamicist and data analyst Aaron Briggs!

What an unbelievable guest Aaron is! He reached out after listening to our episode on swing. We had to get him on the podcast to share his incredible knowledge and set the record straight about how and why a cricket ball swings! He did a PHD at Cambridge Uni on the aerodynamics of swing bowling.

We discuss everything to do with swing. How to look after the ball, what atmospheric conditions help swing, the optimal pace to suit the air temperature. Aaron also drops quite a few theories. This episode is full of mind blowing stuff!

Aaron has a blog Aaron Briggs | Substack well worth checking out! He is also on linkedIn and Twitter (x) as ABriggsCricket

In this LEGEND/ICON episode we chat with South Africa's leading ODI wicket taker and 2nd highest test wicket taker Shaun Pollock!

It was quite surreal chatting with Polly! We grew up watching and admiring him! He was excellent to talk to and is so articulate.  You can tell why he also has a great career as a tv pundit after his stellar international career. He is a natural storyteller!

We discuss Pollys love of white ball cricket, how his action changed throughout his career and who his influences were growing up and as a young pro playing for Natal. He also gives away some of his favourite training tips which are very useful.

In this LEGEND/ICON episode we chat with the greatest quick bowler of all-time. South Africa's leading test wicket taker and a man with the best strike rate of anyone to have taken over 300 test wickets!!! DALE STEYN!!!

It was awesome chatting with Dale and we could have chatted for hours but we thought we better not push our luck (we will try and get him on the podcast again)! His knowledge is outstanding and you can see why he has been such a force in both franchise and test cricket. More impressive than his knowledge was his enthusiasm which had us on the edge of our seats and desperate to get bowling! This episode is really worth watching on YouTube if you can as you will feel like Dale is with you getting you pumped up!

We start with some quickfire questions as always to get an insight into Dales philosophy and what he likes. It was really interesting to hear how he tried to integrate other successful bowlers such as Brett Lee, Shoaib Akhtar and Shaun Pollock into his own action creating a really unique style. We also had to talk about Dales intimidating on field persona!

In this guest episode we chat with England international and county gun Craig Overton!

We were so glad to get Craig on the podcast after a little miscommunication over text. We wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of Craig as he is such a fierce competitor and loves a bit of an on field battle! He isn't much fun to play against but was a great podcast guest and we really enjoyed sharing some stories with him. On the field Craigs stats are very impressive, he has nearly 500 first class wickets at 23 and still plenty more to come! He has represented England in both test and one day internationals after being one of the most exciting performers on the county circuit.

We talk about why he finds yorkers tricky and would rather have a great bouncer!! We talk about what it was like to grow up in the same household with a brother who always got choice of ends! Craig also talks about how he loves getting in a battle amongst other things!

We chat with former England international and ex Durham, Yorkshire and Surreys Liam Plunkett!

Liam is a multi time county championship winner and of course, 2019 world cup winner! In the final he took 3-42 off 10 overs, and took 11 wickets at 24 with an economy at under 5s in the competition.

He is undeniably an integral part of one of the best one day sides of all-time!

We discuss

In this episode we try and pick England's greatest ever bowling attack!

The rules of our picks are the following

• We pick a player based on their absolute peak
• We have to include at least one spinner
• We have to include a genuine all-rounder
• We assume that our bowling attack will randomly play somewhere in the world and as such has to be balanced appropriately!

We don't quite agree about this team in truth! Let us know your thoughts in the comments and on our social media platforms!
