Can't Bowl Can't Throw Season 2

When our regular top order segments collapse in a heap, we need somebody at the back end of the show to get us home. Luckily, we have Michael Bevan joining us in this thrilling season finale to do just that. First, he consolidates with a Short Ball segment in which we discuss his phenomenal 185* (132) for a Rest of the World XI in 2000 and the art of batting (or podcasting) with tailenders. Then he rebuilds the episode by discussing his new Batting Mentor service (battingmentor.com). Finally, he brings us home in dramatic fashion with our ‘Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grade Cricketer?’ quiz, in which we play a quick game of ‘Guess the New Michael Bevan’. Enjoy!

Halfway through the IPL season, Cat and Dan break down what’s happened so far and make (some already invalidated) predictions about what will happen for the rest of the tournament. Also, the Sheffield Shield is back, and the Australian women’s team are on their way to a hundred-match ODI winning streak. Plus: why was Ricky Ponting’s men’s team so lame? How’s Steve Smith’s guitar playing going? And which cricketer has the best new football podcast? All is revealed in this episode.

What were the ten funniest moments of the recently completed England Test summer? Was it something to do with Stuart Broad (almost certainly)? Or Ben Stokes (also almost certainly)? Or something else entirely? Cat and Dan break it all down, and throw in a few honourable mentions as well.

In the latest episode, Cat and Dan discuss the potential for fake saliva, muse over which Australian cricketer is most likely to exhibit hamster-like tendencies and admire the ongoing greatness of the Monty Channel.

In the latest episode of our podcast, we marvel at the number of cricket podcasts still in existence, steadfastly ignore the probable demise of The Hundred and try very hard to come up with other things for everybody to do while there’s no cricket on.

In the latest episode of our podcast, we mix up our Perrys, play Family Feud and wonder whether a lack of cricket going forward might render this an abrupt season finale.

Plus: We find sequels for ‘The Test’ on Amazon Prime, discuss record crowd numbers at both extremes and plug our other podcast about Alfred Hitchcock… just in case (hitchpodonline.com).

In the latest episode of Can’t Bowl, Can’t Throw, we discuss mankads and hat tricks, Donald Trump and Oliver Twist, Bradman in colour and Maxwell in love.

There’s also Test matches, The Hundred and, of course, the T20 World Cup.

Plus: Cricket365 editor Dave Tickner tries to prove he’s smarter than a fifth grade cricketer. Or, at the very least, smarter than Monty Panesar.
