January 31, 2022 496: Cricket Badger meets... AATIF NAWAZ: A Passion for Cricket, Commentating and Comedy
James Buttler is joined by award-winning stand-up comedian, actor, writer, presenter and cricket commentator, Aatif Nawaz. The voice from Test Match Special has a passion for cricket that shines through. He also takes on comedy audiences, surely scarier than facing an angry fast bowler!

January 28, 2022 495: David Woodhouse: Len Hutton's Men in the West Indies 1953/54 PART TWO
The Cricket Badger, James Buttler, is joined by author David Woodhouse to talk about his book 'WHO ONLY CRICKET KNOW - Hutton's Men in the West Indies 1953/54'.

Who Only Cricket Know tells the story of the second most controversial tour in English cricket history after Bodyline and has not been revisited since two tour books came out in the immediate aftermath. The cricket is dramatic, the key characters fascinating, and it is awash with incidents on and off the field, many of them involving race and social class.

This was the first tour in which MCC travelled by plane (although they returned home on the boat) and the first in they were captained by a professional player – Len Hutton. It was also Hutton’s Yorkshire teammate Fred Trueman’s debut tour and for the opposition, the Three Ws were in their pomp and a young man called Garfield Sobers made his international bow.

January 12, 2022 491: It’s Just Not Cricket: 2022 Must Be a Year of Action for Race and Inclusion in Sport PART TWO
PART TWO: The Cricket Badger was delighted to join a webinar run by British Future to speak about how to tackle racism in cricket. They kindly allowed me to issue as a podcast and, as I think you'll agree, it is an interesting discussion.

Have the racism revelations by Azeem Rafiq against Yorkshire CCC led to a watershed moment for change in cricket and for sport more broadly?
