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

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: Angus Fraser, plus England v West Indies 1991
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 2, host Gary Naylor is joined by Mike Selvey, Derek Pringle and Rob Smyth to give the old warhorse, Angus Fraser, another canter round the paddock. In the second innings, they look back to one of English cricket's great forgotten series, 1991's five Test epic against the West Indies. They assess exactly how good was Graham Gooch's legendary 154 not out, get under the wide brim of Richie Richardson's sunhat and find a place for a 2-2 right next to a more famous 2-1, 14 years later.
