  • Episode 6 : The Kiama Premier League (with Special Guest Daniel Reilly)

    In a dystopian future 2020 - which already seems like a massive overstatement - where Covid-19 has wiped out every organised sport in existence, there needs to be a plan set in place for cricket to survive. Not unlike The Goodies did in their wonderful episode 2001... And a Bit, Daniel Reilly joins me to discuss the formation of the Kiama Premier League, and how such a competition could be the saviour of the game... in our municipality at least. Following this, Dan enlightens us with how much he can remember about what he likes about cricket when he has drunk all of Bill's beer.

Another episode for the cricket history buffs.
