Derek Pringle, Mike Selvey and Rob Smyth join Gary Naylor to discuss the swashbuckling former England and Hampshire batsman Robin Smith. Derek roomed with him for England, Rob helped him write his revealing autobiography and Mike watched Smith’s international career closely from the press box, so there’s no shortage of insight about ‘The Judge’. Both Robin and Derek were part of England’s 1992 World Cup campaign and there’s a fascinating, in-depth chat about that memorable tournament as well, when Imran Khan’s Pakistan beat England in the final. Oh and listen out for the year’s best Christopher Martin-Jenkins anecdote. The 80’s and 90’s Cricket Show is sponsored by Anderton Law. Get involved on Twitter (@CricShow80s90s).

Ian Botham (who else?) is the iconic player under examination in the first ever episode. Gary Naylor debates the second half of Beefy’s career with three men who have all written books with or about the great man - veteran BBC cricket reporter Pat Murphy, cricket correspondent of the Sunday Times Simon Wilde and Peter Hayter, columnist at The Cricket Paper. The quartet also discuss the highlights and flashpoints of England’s controversial Caribbean tour against the mighty West Indies in early 1990, with fabulous on-the-spot insight and countless vivid Viv Richards anecdotes.

The 80s and 90s Cricket Show revisits the days of Botham and Gower, Viv Richards, Allan Border, and Javed Miandad - the days before T20, when test matches had rest days, when chairmen of selectors couldn’t recall names of players, blamed getting beaten on astrology, and once selected 4 captains and 29 players in a single summer. Gary Naylor will be joined by the likes of Derek Pringle, Mike Selvey, Rob Smyth, Peter Hayter, Pat Murphy and Simon Wilde to discuss the best and worst of cricket at the end of the 20th century. The Eighties and Nineties Cricket Show is sponsored by Anderton Law.
