In 2017 Devon Conway left South Africa for New Zealand, he needed a fresh start from everything. Though he knew that he belonged on the cricket field, for most of his career in South Africa, it did not feel like that. His love for the sport was waning. He needed to rediscover himself and fall in love with cricket all over again. It happened when he was playing club cricket and coaching primary school kids in New Zealand.
In June 2021 he scored 200 runs on his Test debut for New Zealand. He felt at home.

As a cricketer, Alviro Petersen always had one goal, and that was not to become the best opener or one of the best openers in South African cricket. He had bigger dreams, he wanted to be one of the best batters in South African cricket. It is a mindset that served him well through a career with lots of ups and downs.
We talk about his century on debut, his journey as a cricketer and life after cricket.

Being Jimmy Cook's son was great, because he was a great father and it's always nice to have a personal coach in Jimmy Cook to help you find your path in the game. But, in the professional arena, it had its own issues when it came to Stephen Cook. His career seemed to be overshadowed by his father's. It looked as if he was destined to be 'Stephen Cook, Jimmy Cook's son', and never just Stephen Cook the cricketer.
In January 2016, Stephen Cook claimed his spot in international cricket and cricket history with a century on his Test debut.

This is not a podcast about the match, but it is about the people involved in the matches. the kind of thing a fan might want to discuss with a coach or player or someone who knows them or has written written something about them. It's about the human beings who take part in sports. We have conversations that helps one to know them better.

Dean du Plessis has been cricket commentary for 20 years now. He is one of the few commentators from Zimbabwe, and the first blind cricket commentator. Dean depends on stump mics to know and understand what is happening on the pitch and can tell from sounds who is bowling and other critical information about the game.
Of course, each time someone interviews him they invariably ask him about his blindness and how he does his job. That is not what this episode is about. In this episode we chat about one of his friends, Andy Flower, and his great love, Zimbabwe Cricket.
