Tri-Nations - England, Scotland, Wales, England Lions

Sir Tim Rice loves cricket, so much so that back in the early 70s he set up his own side – Heartaches CC – which is still going strong today. In the second week of September for over the 40th time the Heartaches came down to Cornwall to play three matches.I was lucky enough to play for the Heartaches against Falmouth on the Thursday and then against them for my long-standing club side Mullion on the Friday.During the Friday match I caught up with Tim and he talked about his love of cricket, how he got started playing cricket, and how he sees cricket moving forward.We have several guests lined up for the months ahead.

I had the pleasure of hosting Tony and Tracy Panecasio in Truro for a couple of days before they headed home at the conclusion of the Grey Ashes tour. We took the opportunity to record an episode in which they reflect on the tour and recall some of the best non-cricketing bits including the places they've visited, the socials they've enjoyed and the people they've met.Tracy also shares what it is like to be a WAG (Wives and Girlfriends) on tour - particularly when not knowing prior to the tour any of the other WAG's.Tony played in every one of the five ODIs but also was the chief media correspondent for the tour, whilst Tracy took hundreds if not thousands of photographs so during their time here in Truro I encouraged them to turn it all into a book because a tour like this needs a book!Send us a textSilver Stumps is the podcast aimed at Over 60s and Over 70s Cricketers.
