Dan Norcross joins me to talk about how to commentate in cricket. In this episode we talk about how cricket commentary is basically surgery, a Hitchcock bomb or what do you say when nothing happens. On top of both being commentators, Norcross and I have always been obsessed with how cricket commentary works. So this is us on the art and science of cricket commentary.

You may not remember the Zimbabwean spoiling bowler Ray Price, but if you do, chances are you remember how angry he would get. He bowled muscular left arm finger spin, but sledged like he was the world's quickest bowler. He was a delight to watch - while not at all being a delight to watch - and somehow even made his way to the IPL. This episode Tristan Holme comes on to talk about the angry man from Zimbabwe who ended up playing with Sachin Tendulkar.

This episode Dan Gallan comes on to talk through why South Africa have managed to find many top black South African bowlers, but no batsmen. Although he does point out that failure with the bat has started to unite races in South Africa of recent times. We discuss quotas (and targets within targets), racial bias in selection and coaching, science and how batsmen need more equipment to develop. As Dan says, you can't learn to cover drive before you have a bat.
