Everywhere We Go

Robert Charles 'Jack' Russell had an innate ability to let the ball melt into his gloves as a wicket-keeper, and now he has an astonishing ability to paint what he sees with a paintbrush.

But as you'll find out in this podcast, the enigmatic and legendary gentlemanly character that is Jack Russell specialises in telling us stories and recounting some of his fondest moments from being a player. He talks about what pre-season used to be like, Joburg with Athers, and does a bit of mythbusting (or confirming some!!) as chats to Millard, Brooksy and Greggy.

Another of the '05 Ashes heroes joins us on the podcast this time around... but this guy was also the hero of four other Ashes-winning series too. England legend Ian Bell made 22 tons in 118 Test matches for England and joins the lads from his kids' play-room to talk everything from Aston Villa to Australia, and from KP to his own glorious cover drive.

Isolation continues, and so does the pod... that means that Chris, Brooksy and Greggy are getting stuck into more and more guests. This week, England's new opening batsman, Warwickshire's Dom Sibley joins for a natter.

The lads help Sibbers relive that remarkable century-scoring moment from Newlands in the New Year's Test, as well as hearing what it was like coming through Surrey's academy alongside a full crop of England stars.

Who takes their ball home when the going gets tough on Fifa? And is looking at waterfalls the best thing you can do when you've got 10 days to kill in South Africa? Find out from 'Fridge' on the latest episode of The Shackles Are Off, produced by England's Barmy Army.

From four different locations, Brooksy, Chris and Greggy speak to Somerset and England's spin sensation Dom Bess.

Brooksy is a tenant of Bessy's Taunton pad (albeit in the 'weird' zone upstairs) so we get a good picture of what it's like to co-habit with the pair of them, plus Bessy talks us through his rise-and-rise to being a Test spinner.... aided by the help of his new best mates Ashwin and Herath. 

There's also the battle for the next first-class hundred on the cards, as well as talking about what it was like to experience that Cape Town Test and milking it with the Barmy Army in full voice.

Remember on the last podcast where there was talk about jetting off to Sri Lanka and Abu Dhabi? Well, unfortunately, neither of those things happened due to the worsening of the dreadful coronavirus. With bigger issues at hand, but with far less to be occupying themselves with, Jack Brooks, Chris Millard and 'key worker' James Gregg dial in to have the first of a series of chats from afar in self-isolation. 

Chris and Greggy forensically explore Brooksy's boxing technique as seen on Instagram, whilst he also reveals some cool and commendable ideas from he and his Somerset team-mate to help the NHS. 

We're on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook..... or give the lads a follow @chris_millard18 @brooksyferret or @jamesgregg7 on Twitter.

Greggy, Chris and Brooksy are reunited once again... but not in their stomping ground of podcasts gone by...

A trip down to Taunton to see Somerset to see legendary swashbuckling, opening batsman, '05 Ashes hero Marcus Trescothick. 

'Tres' talks about his early years in cricket in the cricket-loving county of cider, beating the Aussies, headbutting Kevin Pietersen and touring once again after his mental health struggles. 

He also has some choice words for one of the hosts on how old they look.....

Settle in and enjoy a long podcast with the boys, and in the meantime why not check out our Instagram page @englandsbarmyarmy, Twitter @TheBarmyArmy and our brilliant website... www.barmyarmy.com
