Episode 62 is here!

This was actually recorded in between the second and third test of England's tour of the West Indies but we waited until after the fantastic series win to drop it.

We touch on the West Indies vs England series a bit but this was more of a timeless episode looking at Michael Atherton's unique connection to the Caribbean.

In terms of deep thinkers on the world game they dont come much more celebrated than Athers and this episode is no different.

Episode 61 is here!

Two test matches - two flat pitches - two tiresome draws.

George Dobell joined us from Grenada to discuss the contentious pitch preparation in Barbados and the positives either side can take going forward.

Is it law of diminishing returns if the local associations continue to defy CWI and produce wickets that dont engage the public?

Do you agree with our suggestions for changes for the Grenada test?

Episode 60 is here!

The first test may have ended in a tedious draw but that didnt stop us getting George Dobell back in the studio to analyse it all.

Who were the winners and losers? What should we expect in Barbados? Would you make any changes?

George may or may not have been kidnapped by the Barmy Army in the course of this recording.

Episode 59 is here!

It may still not be part of the wider lexicon but test series matter in more ways than one due to the existence of the World Test Championship.

Every win counts and no more so than when the two teams doing battle occupy 8th and 9th respectively. 

England are in the midst of an existential crisis and West Indies are trying to turn their umpteenth corner.

With that being said it made sense to talk with one of English cricket's best journalists. As part of our collaboration with the Cricketer we teamed up with George Dobell to unpick what is likely to be a thrilling series.

Dare we say that West Indies might be slight favourites or will it simply boil down to which sides top 6 can actually stand up to scrutiny?

Riots, diplomatic incidents, bottles flinging, umpires beaten up, insular cuss outs...you really couldnt write a script this good.

In 1953/4 Len Hutton's England side toured the Caribbean in a series widely regarded as one of the most controversial in cricket history. Yet until now no-one has written a comprehensive book on the series.

Author David Woodhouse came to the CCP studios to dissect the series and talk through the tour with more of a Caribbean angle.

You know that at the Caribbean Cricket Podcast we are big on West Indies cricket beyond the boundary and this talk/book is a political, social, cultural and economic tour de force.

You'll want to pour yourself a cup of tea and really take this one in.

There is the small matter of a World Cup on the horizon with our #MaroonWarriors going into battle on the opening day vs New Zealand. 

With very little comprehensive coverage about our side let alone the Women's game in the Caribbean. It was only right we invited Ayana Holder into the CCP studio to deep dive into our chances and the state of the game in the region.

How quickly things change. From the high of a 3-2 series win over England to the 'low' of a 3-0 defeat to India.

We collaborated once again with the #1 Indian cricket podcast The Edges and Sledges Podcast to review all the key talking points.

From the nadir of a 1-2 series defeat against Ireland to the euphoria of a 3-2 series win vs England.

We recorded a special LIVE podcast with you the CCP community sending in your live reactions and questions. 

The Cricket Connoisseur (Aaron Viles) from The County Cricket Podcast (@TheCountyCrick2) returned to look at The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from the see-saw series.

ODI Super league points are on the agenda. 

Following the shock 2-1 series defeat to Ireland and yet more dropped Super league points this series takes on added significance for the West Indies. Can they get anything out of the tour to India? 

On the flipside fresh off a rousing 3-2 T20 series win vs England the shortest format looks like it has the foundation from which to start a resurgence. Can they keep it going vs the Indians?

We collaborated with the #1 Indian cricket podcast The Edges and Sledges Podcast to preview the series in true CCP style.

Episode 56 is here!

With the announcement that Desmond Haynes and Ronnie Sarwan will be the next West Indies selectors - it made sense to get one of the most recent selectors on to talk the art of cricket selection.

Our guest for this episode was non-other than Miles Bascombe. The former West Indies international has had an eventful 2 years as a WI selector and is well placed to assess selection processes in the region.

This wasnt so much about what did or didnt go right for the West Indies selectors but more how a selection process works and cricket administration itself.

Call it an insight into aspects of cricket that fans have so much to say but quite possibly have little to no understanding.
