Look out for our big End of Season Episode which is dropping this weekend. Whilst we're busy editing this, have a look at our team of the season. Is it how you expected? 🔥

To get here, each guest formed their team of the season based on two openers, two power-hitting gun batsmen, two all-rounders, a gun fielder and a cadre of strike and spin bowlers. We fed it in and this is how it came out.

We're hitting the record button Wednesday evening as we round up the 2025 season with a real special guest. Newly annointed into the exclusive 20k career runs club; Simon Kelly from Honley Cricket Club is scheduled to come on to reflect on his season so far. What are your particular favourite memories of Kels batting (or bowling) exploits? Drop them in the comments here and we'll read them out on the show.

In a packed show, we'll also be building our team of the season made up of openers, gun batters, all rounders, a wicketkeeper batsman, a specialist fielder and three bowlers who like to smack it about a bit.

Finally finally, we shine our spotlight on five clubs who all had the bestest of bestest seasons.

The episode should be out this weekend!

In the meantime, subscribe to our YouTube channel where we'll be launching a phone in and you'll get to say what's on your mind. If you want to take part, drop us a comment below.
