Stanny it truly an exceptional and experienced developer of cricket talent. He said about his time at Lancashire “It was a case of getting systems in place so we could identify talent and then find the best ways of allowing that talent to develop, to the point where the players were ready to contribute for Lancashire and hopefully then go on to play international cricket,” Stanny has regularly been namechecked by players from Andrew Flintoff to Haseeb Hameed as a key figure in their development.

Friends and former England team-mates Steve Harmison and Andrew Flintoff recall their playing days on a Sky Cricket Vodcast special, reflecting on their introduction to cricket, the famous 2005 Ashes series and their love of playing together.

We talk to Chubby Chandler and Nathan Homer about the big business questions facing the professional golf tours in Europe and America. It’s a conversation that needs a bit of context, for listeners who haven’t been following what’s been happening in the golf business over the last month or so. First, there’s the obvious theme of how the four major championships and the two big professional tours in Europe and America have responded to the COVID shutdown. There’s been a marked difference in tone and ambition on either side of the Atlantic. The three American based majors went early with new dates in late summer and Autumn, while The R&A has cancelled the 2020 Open Championship entirely. Similarly, Jay Monahan, commissioner of the PGA Tour has been very quick to publish rescheduled event timetables, which seem to many observers to be on the ambitious side, while Keith Pelley head of the European Tour has been far more circumspect, sending out an email to its playing members warning of the profound effect of the shutdown on the golf economy. The story was broken by James Corrigan of the Daily Telegraph who obtained a copy of Pelley’s email and made it public, read James’ story here... Pelley writes:“Our tour has enjoyed a significant period of growth in recent years, in terms of prize funds, playing opportunities and the overall standard of our events, as well as our broadcast product. The impact of the coronavirus has stopped this rapid momentum in its tracks, and it will, in fact, require us to reassess many elements. You should therefore be prepared that when we do resume playing, the schedule and the infrastructure of tournaments could look radically different from what you have been used to. Many of the things you have become accustomed to, such as top-class players’ lounges or courtesy car services will most likely assume a different appearance, if indeed they are present at all.Then it goes on to say "Prize funds will also most likely be different. … The reality is, the pandemic is going to have a profound impact on the tour financially, as well as many of our partners, both in sponsorship and broadcast areas.”Now, running in parallel to this story is the rumours of a breakaway Premier Golf League, funded by the Raine Group and investment from the Saudi sovereign fund.  In what seems like a lifetime ago now, Geoff Shackelford the blogger, podcaster and Golf Channel contributor broke the story and followed up with a lengthy Q&A with Andrew Gardiner, one of the key people behind the Premier League. I’ll put a link to Geoff’s piece in the show notes with this podcast, and it’s also worth listening to the recent State of the Game podcast with Geoff, Rod Morri, Michael Clayton and myself, where we go in to great detail on the issues arising from the story. (Geoff’s Q&A with Andrew Gardiner is here ).If I was to reduce the PGL to its bare bones, it takes the best 48 players in the world and puts them in to 12 franchise teams of four golfers competing for a world championship over 18 events through the season. So, a formula one of golf, essentially. So, for this podcast, I wanted the views of two people from inside golf to get their perspective on some of the questions that arise from all this. Chubby Chandler, founder of ISM and Nathan Homer of Now TV/Sky who was until last year the Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer at the European Tour.The first call I made was to Chubby, one of the most influential golf agents in the world, whose clients have included Rory McIlroy, Darren Clarke, Lee Westwood, Ernie Els and the cricketer Andrew Flintoff to name just a few. ISM is also an event promoter on the European Tour, most notably setting up The Turkish Airlines Open in 2013.Then, the second part of the podcast is a conversation with Nathan Homer, who has a comprehensive view of the commercial value of the sport, having been in charge of marketing and sponsorship strategy at the Tour and before that a client, in leadership roles in sports marketing at Barclays and P&G.

The song this week is from a musical play I wrote back in the day and it's called "School Without A Teacher" and was performed by several schools around the area....it looked at what would happen if computers replaced teachers (ahead of my time or what)...seems like an ideal situation for pupils but as the play demonstrates this is not necessarily the case. Went to the local panto in New Brighton....Peter Pan...took the 3 year old grandson which was his first panto...I was hoping he would have a long enough attention span....no need to worry...he was transfixed....it was so loud but really well done...they had "stars" from Coronation Street and the kid's TV channel ...neither of which I had heard of with Tinkerbell on roller skates....the little fella said "Grandad...I like Tinkerbell"...to which I replied "Yeah...so do I"....but for very different reasons. Another brave protector of the realm has been knighted...SIR Ringo Star....I suppose he must have done something other than being a passenger on the Beatle bus....it's all getting beyond a joke....I'm sorry but I never got The Beatles (shock horror)...to try to understand what it was they had which made them so popular world wide I've been watching several documentaries on Sky Arts about their various activities including the making of The Magical Mystery Tour which was an absolute pointless load of rubbish proving they had no idea regarding making films...and their disastrous business set up with Apple Corps which lost millions...which still left me unconvinced...they did write a lot of decent songs and a lot of debatable ones but that's all they did all day....I wonder how long they would have lasted if they had carried on doing live gigs?....but hey who am I?...and it's only my opinion...and not that of the masses who all pile into the shops for a few days before Christmas. I watched a programme called All Star Musicals which featured none singing celebrities learning to sing showsongs....the idea was bad enough as most showsongs belong in a show not as a solo spot sung by someone who isn't a singer...it was pretty bad with the likes of Nicky Campbell...Tony Robinson etc proving you should stick to what you actually do.....it was presented by Andrew Flintoff who was an uneasy watch...he really should have stuck to cricket...and to top things off we now have a female Dr.Who...not that I watch it...don't get it....but lo and behold Bradley Walsh is going to be in it....when he can drag himself away from The Palladium....The Chase....his new album...and the police series he's in...there should be a competition to try and find a day when Bradders isn't all over our TV screens...is there no-one else out there? I remember a while ago when a local corner shop butcher called the shop "Sausages R Us" (with the R the other way round)...he was threatened with legal action for copyright by "Toys R Us" which I found pathetic....however what goes round comes round...one of our major stores put an advert on TV comparing their prices with Toys R Us for the same item....showing big reductions...illustrating a sense of greed on the part of Toys R Us,...since then Toys R Us are closing down a lot of stores....when will retailers get the message?...the public are getting wise to them and these days with shopping on line it's all about PRICE.....I do like to see people power now and again.

In the show ”Ponting prolific” we are looking at some of the finest test match batting from the Australian batsman Ricky Ponting This was the match played at Brisbane, November 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 2006. Australia won by 277 runs. England was playing Australia for the defense of the Ashes title, after the 2005 euphoria. England captain Andrew Flintoff lost the toss and Australia batted first on a true and bouncy Gabba strip. The match is often remembered for the wayward loosener from the England fast bowler Steven Harmison. Ponting during his innings of 196 went past 9000 test runs, the seventh player in test match to do so. Ponting joined Justin Langer in the 19th over with Australia 79/1. Catch the action!
