Good Areas Podcast

This episode we talk about Sunil Narine, a man on a constant journey to perfect his T20 game. To do that I found a writer as obsessed with him as I am, Karthikeya Manchala. We talk about chucking, length, box of tricks, batting Trinidad and how he hides the ball up his butt.

This episode we look at something slightly new to cricket, scouting. And in order to do that, I only went and found someone who started their own cricket scouting magazine, Ronan Alexander. On this episode, we look at a few different talented players, but really what we’re doing is breaking down how we need to look at cricket going forward. Where players fit in, what their skill sets are, not specifically batter bowl or rounder, but where they can be used in different kinds of games. You may find a new favourite player too.

This week we talk about cricket and baseball, to discuss pitchers who can't hit, number elevens who can't bat and how baseball produced their first great all-rounder in 100 years. I brought on one of baseball’s greatest writers to chat about it, Ben Lindbergh. We discuss soft tossers, Babe Ruth, number 11s, Imran Khan, designated hitters and the two-way all-round unicorn that is Shohei Ohtani.

This episode we talk about Cricket South Africa's Social Justice and Nation-Building hearings, which is their attempt to let past players tell their stories about racist treatment they’ve received. So I got on Lungani Zama, a journalist who was also once a player. We chat about stereotypes, opportunity, old boys, quotas, rugby, and what it's like to be chosen only to field from third man to third man.

Jarrod is making a good start on his recovery from a broken arm last week. If you'd like to hear the full story, check out the start of our most recent episode of The Wagon Wheel, the QnA session Jarrod does every Friday, which we publish here on Red Inker each Saturday. It should be in your feed for this show.

We're hoping to be back very soon with new episodes, but for now, here is one of our favourites. Andy Balbirnie is the current all-format Irish captain, steering them through a recent series against South Africa. Here, Andy discusses his rise through to the captaincy, his current Test record, and what he learnt at Middlesex under the coaching of Chris Rogers.
