Number 2: David Gower: 1985 Ashes, plus Phillip DeFreitas
Host, Gary Naylor, is joined by Pat Murphy, Mike Selvey and the man who held up The Urn at The Oval, the one and only David Gower. They look back to 1985 when Ian Botham swung the bat and Richard Ellison swung the ball and we thought it might always be this way. Our Player of the Pod is Phil DeFreitas, a supremely gifted cricketer whom England managed to drop and recall repeatedly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Number 4: Nehru Cup and England Nearly Men XIs
Host, Gary Naylor, is joined by Derek Pringle, Rob Smyth and Rob Steen to look back on the 1989 Nehru Cup, a seven nation event that anticipated both the Champions Trophy and Pakistan's World Cup triumph still three years in the future. In the second innings, the panel choose their England Nearly Men XIs, the players who didn't quite make it and those who weren't given much of a chance. Will your favourite get a mention?

Number 5: Jack Russell, plus the 1990-91 Ashes series
The 80s and 90s Cricket Show (sponsored by Mark Sellek of Anderton Law) is back for Season 2 with old favourites and new guests to look back on the good, the bad and the ugly over a couple of decades of English cricket. In Episode 1, host Gary Naylor is joined by Peter Hayter, Mike Selvey and Pat Murphy to stand up to the stumps with the eccentric genius, Jack Russell. The series of the week is England's 3-0 Ashes defeat in 1990-91, a result that does little service to a clash much closer than it sounds. We learn of the growing rift between Graham Gooch and David Gower, of trips to the casino, of missing stories and of the early growls of the Australian monster that bellowed so loudly in the 90s.
