  • Stellar podcast.

    It’s going to be a really sad day when both Athers and Nasser retire.

    The entire Sky Sports Cricket team is without question the best analytical comms team in sports. Both Athers and Nasser are head and shoulders above anyone else.

  • Fleming’s great strength?

    According to Simon Doull one of Stephen Fleming’s great strengths as NZ Test captain vs Australia was to allow players like Damien Martyn to play to their strengths! Perhaps that is why he lost 11 out of 14 Test matches vs Australia with 0 wins! For the record Martyn averaged 48.5 vs NZ so perhaps allowing him his favourite cut shot wasn’t the best strategy?
