The Wrong 'Un

🪵 TIMBER!!! Wood enters the fray to bowl absolute heat and help change the direction at another box office encounter. We've crossed the halfway mark of the Asheses and just look at how much can things change from one week to the next with England striking back with the red and the white balls. Ollie - fresh from Luke Fletcher's testimonial dinner - Sach and Bertie examine the difference makers for the men as well as how the women have reeled in some way a once unstoppable juggernaut. The final few rounds should be a doozy. We also hear the top fan rattling moments of the week and listener Johnny has shared a disturbing video that reveals the true depths of badgery required to become the world's best batter.

🚶 Surely we can't keep up with this record of constant corkers as the boys convene to decipher what the hell went down last Wednesday to Sunday inclusive. Stokes pulls on his big boy pants once again amidst a testy and tempestuous <checks notes> Lord's atmosphere as Australia dared to poke the bear. The Aussies held their nerve to put themselves into a commanding position in the series but tested the pearl clutching [justified?] of England fans to new heights in the process. Is this turning into bumper series of tales, twists, turns and a high xNarrative, boy it is in absolute dump truck fulls. Got anything that you think we might be interested in?

🛢 We hope you tackle your weekend with all the intensity of a protester-carrying YJB, but in the meantime, relax, switch off and engage in half an hour of relatively irreverent cric and other bits. The Women's Ashes got underway with a game that went to the wire - well if the wire means two sessions before the end - and we're here to have a dig. Elsewhere, Max dives into the kit cupboard, Ollie brings the analysis and there's a recording of Zak Crawley that, to be honest, should never have got past the editorial quality control checks. But you're gonna hear it anyway. DISCLAIMER: This was recorded mid-Lord's Test, so any references to and moods around that game may well become out of date quicker than a chicken breast in the sun.

😲 The Wrong 'Un returns for a bumper summer and boy have we been treated to an epic opening salvo. Australia squeeze through with two wickets to spare on a phenomenal final day as Captain Cummins and Lyon show their mettle to bring them home. Declarations, intent, flat pitches, Khawaja, keepers and send offs - so many threads to unpick as Bazball gets the sternest test of its principles and decisions yet. This series has promised so much, and if the first blows are anything to go by it certainly looks like it'll deliver. Max is sad, Bertie's here for the ride, Sach promises to be analytical over gloating and Ollie's watching Notts. Got anything that you think we might be interested in? Any Wiaan Mulder anecdotes?

🧹 An England clean sweep against the World Test Champions? Don't mind if I do. It may or may not have been a flash in the pan but at least it flashed bright and true as BMac appears to have Queer Eyed a previously sad, poorly dressed and unkempt England side low on confidence. All it needed was a kiwi to show them what's best about themselves.  So there's a lot to review there but Max, Sach and Bertie also have much to get into as India return with the literal unfinished business of their 2021 Test series whilst white ball king Eoin Morgan retires from his role of chief strategy merchant for England's big bashers. Elsewhere Sach can't answer a question he was primed for and Max goes into his cupboard to root around for all the latest fits. Got anything that you think we might be interested in?

🇳🇱 Canals, 25 degrees, the prospect of a slightly funky night out, there's a new contender for cricket's greatest away day in Amsterdam. England return to ODI cricket for the first time in almost a year bombing into a swimming pool of Dutch amateurs as Buttler and co. flayed their way to a new World Record total against an understrength Netherlands side.  Elsewhere we offer a belated assessment of England's unassailable 2-0 lead in their opening Tests of the Summer against the Kiwis. Is this a blip? Have the jigsaw pieces just fortunately fallen into place? Are England flattering to deceive? Or can we not just bask in a Formula 1 no holds barred England Test team? Who knows, but Bertie and Ollie try to unpick it all and also offer up some chat on the steaming hot ball of messy fun which is the Blast. Got anything that you think we might be interested in?

🥓 The usual show is replace due to much needed holidays as Max is off travelling to Wrexham from London (yes why indeed?). BUT we couldn't leave your Tuesday feeds uncricketed and in one of the great last minute decisions Max Parry MP & Bertie headed to the Oval to soak in some County Championship. One of the *all time great days* as the two of them joined some radio friends and made their way through just the right and appropriate amount of cans and a metric tonne of food in 20 degree sunshine. Simply unbeatable. Intermittent voice memos followed and treat yourself to bitesize a slice of the Great British summer from the Oval. There is little of actual substance covered.

A big week of moving and shaking within the England men's setup. Out goes Joe Root as captain and in comes big daddy Rob Key in his top down Porsche and real ale in hand as the side's new director of cricket. What that means and what he'll be able to do is open to interpretation. Ollie has decided that since he can do nothing about who will be England's new skipper he doesn't care about it, an opinion he hasn't held regarding all of his other cricket analysis. Max Parry also opens up his wardrobe to assess the new season's IPL clobber and Bertie tries his best to keep everything on a fairly even keel. Elsewhere Ollie digs into the Women's Hundred squads and Max has a Parky Pivot.  Got anything that you think we might be interested in?

🏃 Astonishingly we're back with regularity on your Tuesday podcast feeds and the cricket is serving up some lovely entertaining pies for us to dance down the track to. The IPL churns out top class matches like a mid-afternoon entertainment machine whilst the County Championship offers us up early season run fests / bore draws. Bertie and Ollie in the seat this week so if you prefer Max and Sach this isn't your week. Bonus episode to come on the Men's Hundred Draft later in the week so keep your eyes peeled.  Got anything that you think we might be interested in?

🍕 The English cricket season returns after a winter which has been no means devoid of cricket. So we dust off our mics to return every week with cricket takes galore from Manchester, Nottingham and cricket hub Switzerland. The IPL is underway so Sach takes a cursory look under the bonnet at some changes for this edition, whilst Ollie casts his eye across a red ball season which could hold real significance for potential England recruits. We also take some time to chat personnel for England after their latest series defeat and reflect upon the passing of the great Shane Warne.  *We think Bertie forgot to select his quality mic for this one when recording so apologise if his Boltonian tones are less crisp than usual.  Got anything that you think we might be interested in?
