The Big Smash Cricket Podcast

Paul and Menners discuss The Office, the World Cup Final, Women's Ashes, Menners' travel fears, James Pattinson and Paul has an idea for a new tournament. Find Menners @amenners on twitter or @amennerscricket on Insta. Find Paul at @the_summer_game on Twitter

In a true festival of cricket, 10 podcasters from seven different shows and numerous time zones come together in an amazing collaboration to discuss the Cricket World Cup. Loads of chat about the tournament so far, who has shone and who has disappointed and of course who do we think is going to win the semi finals, and maybe even the whole entire thing! There’s banter, arguments, plenty of great cricket chat and of course one or two mentions about sandpaper and that “short boundary” comment. Enjoy!

Menners and Paul are back! They discuss the quality of the World Cup and look ahead to who should be in the Aussie side for the Ashes.

Paul explains why he fears India may win in Australia this summer - after every Asian team has failed to win a Test series in the past across 27 attempts and 71 years. Menners gives an update on all the Big Bash news and together, Menners and Paul assess the current state of Australian cricket in the light of the explosive Ethics Centre review into Cricket Australia.

Paul takes us on another journey through the history of TV cricket coverage and Menners finally reveals his contribution to some of the most storied records in cricket history. *At some point during the show Paul alleges Menners is lying about watching some Ashes cricket at the Pub in 1997. Paul has since researched the allegation and has profusely apologised to Menners for doubting his story.   The two are still on talking terms.  Email any questions to bigsmashcricket@gmail.com Find Menners on Twitter @amenners and Paul @the_summer_game
