The Bowler’s Pegging, The Batsman’s Arsehole | The History of Cricket (Part 1/2)

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would

Very very disappointed that the story about Paul Collingwood’s hotel room didn’t make it

Who edited this farce! Highlighting silly mid wicket when talking about sill mid off, despicable. On a side note I’ve always thought cow corner was called thus because shots that go there are agricultural (slogs) which only a farmer would consider playing and not a gentlemen

I am usually a supporter of the various accents attempted on this podcast, but Fin's impression of those of us who won't go out with our partners on Tuesdays or Wednesdays when the Champions League is on was a complete disgrace, and a real Pearl Harbour attack

39:55 😂. Finn almosting saying 'its not true'...because the utter disgust that the English didn't host the first international match...I'm English, and I'm totally devastated that it was wasted on those yanks. I'm sick.

We do have counties here in the US. Just got back from visiting family in PA. They live in an “unincorporated municipality” with a population under 1,000 and they go under 500 seasonally. Seems like we just use county as a step down from city.

44 Minute mark before you mentioned Hitler. Unreal. :-)

Cromwell would have loved Geoff Allott

I was with you until you included Cherie Blair in your list of Scottish MILFs, I think you're quite mad

This vietmong is Holding his own Willey

Counties in Ireland are much different culturally. There’s huge country pride and rivalry because of Gaelic sports (football and hurling). Also, hurling is commonly regarded as the oldest known ball sport still around today. Probably pre dates cricket by more than 2,000 years.

I think the Batsman's Holding the Bowlers Willie never actually happened is unfortunately folklore. But TMS still has some great moments https://youtu.be/LSRAfpIL5GQ?si=ATa1QPolbEP0ja8v

Why am I watching this? I hate cricket.

Do Southern cricketers hate Northern cricketers or does it all depend on their pegging ability?

As a state educated man, I’ve never picked up a cricket bat in my life. When I heard the term “silly mid off” for the first time, I assumed it was a player from the West Indies

The people need a FVH “that’s cricket” tshirt

Real Tennis (known as Tennis to the those of us who reject the modern tripe popularised as Lawn Tennis) is at least 400 years older than Cricket.

Watching the podcast with the test in the background, that's cricket

Haven't pressed play yet and I've already come twice. Nice one!

cricket 2-parter, cheers lads just came

History of polo would be another good one

Horatio is me. I swear everyone who 'likes' cricket is a fucking nutter obsessive. I like cricket. They want the bat up their arse sideways.

I have just realized you dye your beard Finn! Or is it just boot polish left over from your last dress up party where you went as a gollywog 😂 "This IS cricket" *points to face*

Numberwang walked so That’s Cricket could run

Hitlers field position: silly two front

24:40 US states tend to be as large or larger than the UK, so states are broken up into counties, which have county elections, and are patrolled by sheriff's departments rather than police departments (it just means they wear brown instead of black while failing to investigate crimes).

RHODESIA PATREON SPECIAL

Got my dads old baggy green out for this one lads

You showed bat pad for silly mid-off, how dare you. Also cow corner is called that because no conventional shots went there so cows could graze
