April 26, 2020 127: Harry Gurney - It's inevitable that Tests and the Championship will disappear
Another great Cricket Badger Podcast sees James Buttler joined by Harry Gurney. The Nottinghamshire paceman has a reputation for saying what he thinks on social media and this is no different as the Badger and Harry have, what they think, are very differing opinions on the future of cricket.

Harry takes on the Cricket Badger 20 Questions and gives some terrific answers. He also discusses playing T20 franchise cricket around the globe and what it's like to feature in the Indian Premier League, Big Bash, Caribbean Premier League and the Pakistan Super League. This edition is well worth a listen.

A bumper issue of the Cricket Badger Podcast sees James Buttler joined by two superb guests. This is an edition not to be missed.

April 09, 2020 121: Kevin Hand and the Badger - All dressed up and nowhere to go
BBC Middlesex commentator Kevin Hand joins the Badger, James Buttler, to talk about the cricket season just about to begin. Ah, well you know the rest. Instead you'll hear two broadcasters and journalists who would normally be previewing the summer and preparing to get back into action, who are instead as fed up as you.

It's generally their version of the chats you're all having out there. The pair talk about the possibilities of cricket this summer and what the season may look like. They discuss Kevin's experience of COVID-19 in Spain. And what are the responsibilities and issues for the players in such unique (I refuse to use unprecedented) circumstances.
