Vish Ehantharajah chats all things #SandpaperGate, talks suitable punishments for Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft and assesses the future for Australia under new skipper Tim Paine.

Gordon Greenidge, when asked whether former greats of West Indies cricket are under-utilised by the current set-up, responded by saying they have been basically forgotten. Some great cricket brains of the past can surely only help the current side?

The Calypso Cricket Badger Radio Show Podcasts from the incredible island of Barbados.  

We talk to legend of Barbados and West Indies cricket Gordon Greenidge. The man at the top of the order for one of the greatest sides of all time was a pleasure to meet and gave me a terrific interview about West Indies cricket then and now.

Also on today's show we cover the MCC's visit to cricket production line that is Combemere School. Former pupil Cedric Lynch sets the scene.

And finally, with everything Australia and ball-tampering grabbing the headlines we have a quick chat with Head of Cricket at the MCC John Stephenson. The MCC are custodians of the laws of the game and their Spirit of Cricket initiative - what does John think of #Sandpapergate?

James Buttler, the Cricket Badger, joined Darren Harper on Proper Sport Radio's breakfast show on Tuesday to talk about Dave Callaghan who sadly died this week.

Cally was not only a fine cricket broadcaster, but also a wonderful man #RIPCally

James Buttler, the Cricket Badger, joined Darren Harper on the radio to pay tribute to BBC Radio cricket commentator Dave Callaghan who died on Monday.

James worked with Cally and rubbed shoulders with his friend at Yorkshire cricket matches for well over a decade. A superb broadcaster, a man passionate about the game, Cally was also a friendly, fun and friendly man who will be sadly missed by all that knew him and listened to him.

#RIPCally

We have two great guests on the Cricket Badger Radio Show Podcast this week.

Former Essex, Yorkshire and Northamptonshire all-rounder **James Middlebrook** chats about his career and the challenges of retirement and moving into umpiring.

**Ali Martin**, cricket correspondent for The Guardian, discusses whether **Adil Rashid** and **Alex Hales** are right to ditch red-ball cricket, who will replace **Trevor Bayliss** as England coach and whether we've seen too much cricket Down Under this winter - does the changing shape of the world game leave us clamouring for a 'less is more' approach to the fixture schedule?
