The Wrong 'Un

🇦🇺4️⃣-0️⃣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England have engaged in their final and perhaps biggest collapse yet. Halfway through the 3rd day in Hobart things were looking rosy for England. 68-0 in a chase of 271. Two wickets fell and then in the 74 minutes of actual play after tea the remaining 8 crumbled in a manner so swift that in many ways it was the crowning and most emblematic glory of a miserable series for the Poms. 

So welcome to the Collapse-along (TM) where in real time we go through England's collapse as it happened. Along with our as-live English crumble there's so much to get into: The Ashes as a whole, Australia's imperious performance, South Africa's impressive victory of India and Lord Virat stepping aside as Test captain. Enjoy!

🇦🇺3️⃣-0️⃣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Pride is restored. The St George's Cross is no longer at half mast. The tide has changed. England have drawn a Test by the skin of their Jimmy Anderson having to face 6 consecutive Steve Smith rippers. 3-0 down with 1 to play but there are genuine positives for England to take away from Sydney. Yes they only took 14 wickets and nearly lost by 100 runs but there were hints of grit on display in a series of Ashes displays which have been distinctly lacking in that. Bertie and Ollie are here to mull things over, examine Zak Crawley & YJB's encouraging knocks, give some praise to Khawaja and shoot the S.

🤦‍♀️Ollie, Max and Bertie convene for a sigh heavy half hour of catharsis as England are once again comprehensively rolled like dough balls at Pizza Express. After 12 days of play the Ashes are already remaining in Australia. Well that's statistically speaking, we've known the end result for a while now. 

We talk everything from how bad England are to where the problems may lie, covering it all from planning, coaching, focus on the red ball game, Covid, Australian quicks being guns and the 90s coming back into fashion. There's not a hint of focus or real analytical verve to be honest. After recording we realised that not only are England's woes a difficult question to answer but in many ways we hadn't got close to actually understanding them. So kick back, relax and let us reflect your own stages of grief as we sit there rambley and baffled.

🍦 For the first time during the T20 World Cup we convene - without notes or preparation - to chat India and England's varying fortunes so far in the tournament. Don't expect much from this episode and try your best to enjoy it. Sach brings the India, and Bertie and Ollie the England. 

Straight off the back of India's walloping of Afghanistan there is still everything to play for and a few more games to play it in as the Super 12 reaches its climax. India have not been at their best with defeats to arch rivals Pakistan and regular big game irritants New Zealand. Sach has a look at what's gone wrong, whilst in a more jovial mood Bertie and Ollie bask in what will undoubtedly be very short-lived English optimism.

🧔🏽 Moeen our swashbuckling prince, you leave Test cricket behind but with us you have deposited a lifetime of excitable moments into our memory banks. Off he rides into a T20 spin-hitting sunset for the rest of his career. Without Sach & Max, Bertie and Ollie indulge on some reflections Moeen Lane and also examine the close of the County Championship for 2021 as Warwickshire ride out as the victors. They also cover the ECB's withdrawal from the tour to Pakistan.

Big apologies for Godden sounding like Darth Vader. Despite Bertie's professional grade voice quality, Ollie didn't have a mic available. But we move.

🥲A final day for the ages at Lord's gives India a 1-0 lead in a series which is promising even more. And more than any other victory this really got Sach's tear ducts going as the Indian tail offer rearguard action, England are rattled and Siraj et al. roll through their top order. Meanwhile Joe Root's back is creaking as he carries his side and Virat Kohli gets more pumped than ever.

💯 After much anticipation, backlash, columns in the broadsheets, intrigue and social media discourse, The Wrong 'Un returns, sorry The Hundred has arrived. And boy were we treated to an opening match as the women's competition got underway with a scorching run chase from Oval Invincibles to haul down Manchester Originals. Far more of a bang than a whimper first out with Dane Van Niekerk the hero with notable heroics also from Kate Cross, Marizanne Kapp and some silky strokes over cover from Harmanpreet Kaur. All in front of a couple of million viewers at home, unprecedented scenes for a domestic women's match in England and Wales.

Joining Bertie, Ollie and Sach is CricViz's Ben Jones who's high on a cocktail of CricViz metric graphics, match ups and one and a half Heinekens. We take in the first match, adjust to the differences and whether in fact it all 'worked'. Only time will tell, but for the whole tournament make sure you join us on the journey!

Following a breakout year in 2018, Ethan Bamber has become one of the brightest young stars in English cricket. At just 22-year-old, he already has 54 first class wickets at the time of recording, and was England's top wicket taker in the U19 World Cup in New Zealand three years ago. Ethan graduated from Exeter with a degree in theology, and in this episode opens up how his university experience gave him a vital grounding. He also discusses setting standards for himself, reviews his start to the season for Middlesex and shares what it is like to rub shoulders with International talent.

💥BOOM. After a nice couple of weeks break from El Cric we're back plunging head/feet first into the crickety pool for the start of the IPL and the County Championship. What a week! Sixes, strategic timeouts, snow, draws, there's loads to talk about. Mumbai Indians get underway against RCB, whilst CSK took on the DCs. We run the rule over the first weekend of the VIVO IPL 2021 and Bertie gives a brief rundown for the uninitiated. Elsewhere the kit connoisseur, Max Parry, gives his brutal perspective on the franchises' shirt offerings.

Elsewhere, Ollie goes over the first round of the County Championship and we ask why on earth the IPL would want to play games in London?!

We've got an email now! [email protected] for all your correspondence. We read it all, so fire it our way.

🇮🇳3️⃣- 2️⃣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 After a month of constant, neverending two day cricket we're back to the 1 day format and boy was it a big series. We had England executing pitch perfect powerplays, India clawing themselves to series victory from 2-1 down and lots of England mid-innings stumbles. The biggest T20 series for both sides before the World Cup provided several answers but also a few remaining Qs as players looked to nail their colours to the mast.

So there was loads for Ollie, Sach & Bertie to get stuck into. If you were hoping for Max, well he's not here as he was nursing a particularly heavy Saturday night hangover. But fear not, Bertie leads the audience engagement this time out with all of your current feelings for cricket.

As with every show, we hope you enjoy what you hear and stick with us. We're a constant content and analysis machine. Finely tuned to bring what you want exactly when you want it. We've been very grateful for all your reviews recently so if you haven't, then leave us one, and even better tap on that follow button to get brand new shows whenever they pop up. Bye bye, see you next week!
