Team sport played with bats and balls
POPULARITY
One of world sport's biggest rivalries gets underway this week, with England and Australia going head to head in the Ashes. Most matches will last around four or five days, but it's actually the short form of the game that is growing the fastest - and bringing in big audiences and revenues. The IPL or Indian Premier League, has recently been valued at $18.5bn - that's a T20 format played over a few hours. So has the sport now changed irreversibly? And does the longer form of the game have a future?Presenter: Will Bain Producer: Matt Lines(Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Virat Kohli, along with his former teammates AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle, celebrate with the trophy after winning the Indian Premier League T20 final in June 2025.

This week, host Richard Graves sits down with Charlie Binns, Lead Nutritionist for the England men's cricket team, fresh from Perth as preparations ramp up for the Ashes. Charlie lifts the lid on what elite fuelling actually looks like across five-day Tests, why recovery is an arms race, and how his team builds simple, repeatable habits the players will actually use, from colour-coded carb periodisation to the humble banana bread on the snack table. He also shares the months of behind-the-scenes logistics you never see: venue-by-venue menus for lunch, tea and post-match; shipping batch-tested supplements across the world; and how day–night “pink ball” Tests flip the entire eating schedule on its head. Expect practical insights, no fluff, and a proper appreciation for just how physically brutal modern cricket really is. What you'll learn from the episode * Cricket's true physical demands: why a Test bowler can cover ~50 km across a match and repeatedly absorb ~8× bodyweight through the front leg, and what that means for fuelling and recovery. * Tour prep, six months out: coordinating stadium caterers, training-day menus, and freighted, batch-tested supplements, plus how strategies are trialled at home before heading overseas. * Match-day fuelling made usable: the role of lunch, tea and all-day snack stations; when to use liquids vs solids; and why simple, high-carb options (wraps, bagels, flapjacks, banana bread) win. * Carbohydrate periodisation in practice: using colour-coded days to align intake with bowling/fielding workloads, then ramping to a high-carb taper before the first ball. * Refuel like a pro: stacking recovery windows, shakes on the final whistle, high-carb changeroom options, team-room snacks, and evening meals, to reduce soreness and restore glycogen for day two (and three). * Day–night Test adjustments: how pink-ball timings shift pre-match, “lunch”, “tea” and sleep hygiene, and the tweaks Charlie makes to keep players alert without compromising recovery. * Communication that sticks: nudging over lecturing, tailoring to individual preferences, and equipping S&C staff to deliver on-ground during play. About Charlie Binns Charlie Binns (BSc, MSc, SENr, UKAD, ISAK) is the Lead Nutritionist for the England & Wales Cricket Board's men's team. He joined the ECB setup after roles across elite rugby and football, including First-Team / Senior Men's Nutritionist at Tottenham Hotspur and consultancy with Birmingham City FC. He also founded CMB Performance & Nutrition, serving athletes and organisations from academy to international level. Charlie's academic route began with a First-Class BSc in Sport & Exercise Nutrition at Leeds Trinity University, followed by an MSc in Applied Sports Nutrition at St Mary's University, Twickenham. He is SENr-registered, UKAD-accredited, and ISAK L1 certified. Before moving into cricket full-time, Charlie built experience in multiple environments to broaden his practice, from Richmond Rugby during his Master's to league and academy football, a deliberate multi-sport grounding he still credits for his applied approach in cricket. Within England Cricket's performance team, Charlie's remit spans: Tour logistics & catering coordination across venues (training, lunch, tea, post-match menus). Carb periodisation frameworks aligned to bowling/fielding loads and match phases. Recovery protocols (e.g., immediate shakes, tart cherry, staged refuelling) to hit repeat high-output days. He's been part of touring groups across the subcontinent, South Africa and Australia, and has supported senior and Lions squads in major series and tournaments. Media reporting has highlighted his role in individualising fuelling targets for players during high-demand campaigns. Outside the ECB, Charlie has hosted CPD for nutritionists across the county game and continues to contribute to practitioner development within cricket.

Moves are underway to investigate how domestic T20 cricket might be revamped here in New Zealand. Among the suggestions being put forward are a franchise based T20 league, similar to those of many other Tier 1 cricket nations, a New Zealand team entering the Australian Big Bash competition, and a refresh and reinvigoration of our current Super Smash competition. Former Black Cap and vastly experienced white ball cricketer, Anton Devcich joined Piney to discuss the measures NZ Cricket needs to take to breathe life back into our domestic T20 scene. In regards to a franchise based league, Devcich 's not entirely sure how well it would work, but he knows that a significant chunk of change would need to be forked out to any team involved.

The Black Caps saved their best performance for last and cruised to a T20 International series victory over the West Indies, courtesy of an eight-wicket victory in Dunedin. For the first time on tour, the result didn't come down to the final over, as New Zealand completed their win with 26 balls up their sleeve, and kept their perfect record at University Oval in the shortest format intact.

England's preparation for the Ashes couldn't be much more different to Australia's and it's drawn criticism. Is one warm-up match enough ahead of a huge series? That's one of many questions being asked of this squad. Is this the year Joe Root gets his elusive 100 in Australia? How will Mark Wood and Jofra Archer hold up? Can England win back the Ashes down under for the first time in over a decade? Featured: Jonathan Agnew, former England cricketer and ABC SPORT commentator. Subscribe to the ABC Sport Newsletter

[We mourn the passing of pro hoops great Michael Ray Richardson with an archive re-release of our conversation with the former Nets/Knicks star from last year, featuring his biography co-author Jacob Uitti.] + + + Former NBA All-Star Michael Ray Richardson and his co-author Jacob Uitti (Banned: How I Squandered an All-Star NBA Career Before Finding My Redemption) join the show to discuss Richardson's riveting new memoir that chronicles his extraordinary journey on and off the basketball court. Hailed as "the next Walt Frazier" coming out of the University of Montana as a first-round pick (fourth overall) in the 1978 NBA Draft, "Sugar" was a force to be reckoned with, leading the league in both assists and steals in just his second season - still New York Knicks team records to this day - and earning four All-Star appearances and two All-Defensive team honors. But behind the scenes, his career was overshadowed by personal struggles with drugs and alcohol, leading to a historic lifetime ban from the NBA in 1986 while a member of the New Jersey Nets. Richardson shares how he rebounded from that moment, finding redemption through subsequent stints as a player and coach in places like the CBA (Albany Patroons, Oklahoma Cavalry); USBL (Long Island Knights); Premiere Basketball League; and a prolific 14-year professional league run in Europe, where he guided teams to championships and redefined his legacy. Now running youth basketball clinics and reflecting on his journey, Richardson proves that resilience and accountability can turn even the darkest chapters into a comeback story. + + + SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): "An American Cricket Odyssey: A Journey into the Soul of the Cricket in the United States": https://amzn.to/4nFOdoh SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

Haydos shares his favourite moment from cricket - when Andrew Symonds scored a ton at the MCG in 2006 - recalls when Nasser chose to bowl at the Gabba, gives his thoughts on the Australian top order, and discusses whether he’ll walk the MCG nude and the time he was accused of sledging a child.

In this episode we say farewell to our summer friends as our unseasonably warm weather transitions into the blustery cold we expect from November.Spend some time with the remaining stragglers of summer's chorus from Halloween into November 1st (recording was between ~10 PM – 3 AM). You'll hear our dwindling insect friends making last-ditch pleas for love or defending their turf. Look, I'm not a bug person, but from online reading, I gather that these insects hatched later and are still in their adult stage looking to mate or defend territory. I know a few scientific bug people personally, and they wouldn't help me understand why these little bastards are still making noise. Science people who are quick to ask me for graphics help illustrating random insect **** but will not return my calls about the bug lifecycles in my backyard. Oh, my backyard insect questions too pedestrian for you?Where was I? Yes, I'm not a bug person. I love how they sound outside and am positive they are extremely important to our world and human interests. However, I do not want these little creatures in my house. That's why I like spiders — they play goalie, intercepting these freeloader ******* before they can get into the climate-controlled expanses of our home.Similarly, I don't like spiders when they are inside. And for the record, I'm mostly a catch-and-release person (vacuum and dump outside). Except when spiders land on me — I was working in the basement, a spider repelled on my head, and I started punching myself in the face.

Cricket and America - two words that rarely appear in the same sentence without a smirk or a shrug. Yet, as authors Beth Simpson and Mark Greenslade reveal in their new book "An American Cricket Odyssey," the game's roots here run deeper than most realize — and its revival is one of the great under-told stories in modern sport. We trace the sport's improbable journey - from its 19th-century heyday, when Philadelphia was a global cricket power; to its near extinction after baseball gained popularity; and finally to its 21st-century rebirth, fueled by immigrant passion and the game's modern-day incarnation, Twenty20 (T20). Along the way, Simpson and Greenslade take us inside the subcultures that have kept US cricket alive - from South Central LA's Compton Cricket Club to equal rights-seeking women cricketers to youth development programs from Bronx, NY high schools to suburban North Carolina ballfields. We also tackle the political dysfunction, internal corruption and repeated false starts that have haunted American cricket for decades - including the 2019 collapse of the USACA national governing body, its not-much-better replacement USA Cricket, and the additionally complicating factor of International Cricket Council (ICC) recognition. And of course, we examine the handful of attempts to make pro cricket stick in the States from 2004's erstwhile Pro Cricket to today's ambitious Major League Cricket, backed by nearly a billion dollars of domestic and global investment - and ask whether this latest experiment can finally overcome the sport's chronic infighting and infrastructure gaps. It's a journey through sport, culture, and identity - one that reveals how America keeps rediscovering cricket, and why the game still struggles to find its true home on US soil. + + + SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): "An American Cricket Odyssey: A Journey into the Soul of the Cricket in the United States": https://amzn.to/4nFOdoh SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/
Season 19, Episode 7: We left our conversation in part one at the South American Championships, reflecting on where Brazil has been over the last quarter of a century. This time, recording at Poços de Caldas - the remarkable home of cricket in the country - it's time to cast ahead to the decades to come. For that, England legend Claire Taylor, with her MCC hat on, leads the ep. She's followed by Jon Surtees of the Surrey CCC, talking about their charitable contributions in high-performance infrastructure. Then last but not least, the man more important than any vaulting the game to where it now sits in Brazil, their outstanding CEO Matt Featherstone.

Ashes Cricket: Injury Risks and Unknown Opponents. Jeremy Zakis discusses the upcoming Ashes contest, noting both Australia and England are good teams with unknowns. Australia aims to match England's power but faces risks from older, injury-prone players, including captain Pat Cummins.
