- Bowling at the death

- Hampshire's Christmas parties...at the Rose Bowl

- Injuries, and how he talked to Freddie Flintoff and Simon Jones

- And how KP didn't know who he was, even when they were on the same team.

This week the boys are joined by Lord's head groundsman, Karl McDermott. They chat:

- World Cup final pitches

- How cricket pitches are the hardest to prepare in sport, and

- Having his Christmas lunch is in the Lords' Long Room - and definitely not walking back home across the pitch...

The boys welcome Saracens and England rugby player, Poppy Cleall to the pod, and the ensuing chat included:

- How Poppy purchased an oil painting of herself and her teammates, before placing it in her mum and dad's house

- Why she started playing rugby in the first place, and;

- Being there for her sisters' international debut.

The boys are joined by Jersey Commonwealth Games Pistol Shooter - and 4 times Island Games Gold Medallist - Nikki Holmes. Featuring:

- A definition of the term 'Jersey Crapaud'

- A condom story from the Commonwealth Games (seriously)

- And the rivalry between riffle and pistol shooters laid bare once and for all.

The boys are joined by Hampshire batsman Sam Northeast. The trio chat Chumley Warner, bowlers living on ibuprofen, keepers having a screw loose, and not getting a proper feed at Lord's because he batted too well.

In which the boys are joined by former Yorkshire, Hampshire, Notts and England batting superstar, Michael Lumb. 'England's best fielder' (TM) talks in his first ever podcast about that World T20 win with England in 2010, running out Darren Lehmann, being taunted by his wife for poor shot selection and - on a serious note - adjusting to life after cricket.

In which the boys welcome Lauren to the pod. They chat about Lauren's application to the rearranged London Marathon in October, home-schooling their kids, and the three re-write Jenna and Jo's dating bios after some complaints in our last episode...

In which the boys are joined by Hampshire and England legend, Dimi Mascarenhas. Dimi talks about the time he got a stump signed by Tendulkar, Dravid and Gangulay, playing with Shane Warne, his 5x6 v Yuvraj, being the first English player to appear at the IPL, and of course his beloved Hampshire.

The food at Lord's gets another, more in-depth critique, meanwhile Rob Key is nominated by Dimi to be a future Trophy guest!
