The Bowler's Pegging, The Batsman's Arsehole | The History of Cricket (Part 1)

Baseball is much more difficult than cricket

Cricket might have been appealing to me when i was married now i am divorced i am going to say no thank you. Nazi vs jews cricket charity game ill watch that. The winner plays the communists for the ashes

I think lacrosse is older

This episode made me realise I’m an absolute turbo mong. Spent the whole thing being slightly wound up by how you guys are clearly cricket fans, but not as deep into the County Championship division 2 autism abyss that I am. Like someone who asks women to ‘name 5 songs’ when they wear a band tshirt, or a Star Wars nerd that talks about ‘lore’. Its such an infinitely ugly emotion

I once took the Indian national team for a scuba dive. Nothing will make you lose respect for an athlete quicker. The panic, the hyperventilating, the tears, the floundering. I could have ended the cricket team by just doing nothing 😆

When is fin going on View from a boundary on TMS?

Is the only reason timeless weathermilf Carol Kirkwood never gets a mention in the Lorraine Kelly conversation is that she is too warm natured?

Female. Off to the second episode. Well done fellas, you’ve made me nearly interested in this game

Horatio clearly did his research for this episode... "70s" "Is that Lara" Should be ashamed

Wait til the lesbians hear about this

You mention each player having a different role and bowlers having to bat - another interesting dynamic is that if you have better bowlers it makes your batsmen better as they’re training against the best bowlers and vice versa! If you face Brett Lee or Shoaib Ahktar in the nets you’re prepared for any other pace bowler, if you’ve never faced that pace it’s much harder to handle when you come up against it.

Cricket isn’t only for the neurotypical - I have ADHD, cricket and snooker are my top sports to watch and brain rot HOURS away.

The delicious blend of art, war and sport. Cricket.

Hit this one for six lads. I’m boweled over

You bastards I've been walking around saying "That's not Crickiiet!" All fucking day at random intervals

I don’t like cricket, oh no… but you guys have hit this for 6. Wasn’t looking forward to the episode, but it’s been the one I’ve enjoyed most so far. Thanks for the insight. Might listen again later over a pig dick chow mein kampf.

Week 2 of saying that Horatio looks like a white Romesh Ranganathan

I would rather take a bath with my dad than watch cricket, but you might have finally made it appealing.

Lone woman here - during the 1868 aboriginal tour, one player died and was buried in east London cemetery. Fellow east Londoners surely appreciate this fact?! https://inspiringcity.com/2020/04/19/king-cole-the-aboriginal-cricketer-of-bethnal-green/

Never cared for cricket before but the idea of ignoring the Mrs for 5 days and the overtones of English imperialism is making it very appealing to me. Great work as always chaps 👍

All this talk of Scottish TV presenters and no mention of Kirsty Young, that's a national tragedy.
