In Part 2 of Kieran Powell's Most Influential West Indies Cricketers, the PowettPlay Podcast continues its journey through the players who helped shape the history, identity and global influence of West Indies cricket. Hosts Jordan Shannon and Kieran Powell complete Kieran's personal list by looking beyond statistics and examining the players whose leadership, skill, personality and cultural impact helped define Caribbean cricket. The discussion begins with legendary West Indies captain Clive Lloyd, whose leadership helped establish one of the most dominant winning cultures in international cricket history. Kieran reflects on how Lloyd brought together players from across the Caribbean and helped transform the West Indies into a fearsome, unified force on the world stage. Attention then turns to fast-bowling great Andy Roberts, not only for his achievements with the ball but also for his influence as a mentor. Roberts' technical knowledge and guidance helped shape future generations of West Indies fast bowlers, contributing to the region's extraordinary fast-bowling tradition. Few names are more synonymous with batting brilliance than Brian Lara. The hosts discuss Lara's unique style, extraordinary run-scoring ability and record-breaking performances, exploring why his artistry at the crease made him an inspiration to cricketers and supporters around the world. Sir Garfield Sobers also features prominently, celebrated as one of cricket's greatest-ever all-rounders. His ability to dominate with bat, ball and in the field made him a truly complete cricketer and a benchmark for generations of players who followed. At the top of Kieran's list is the incomparable Sir Vivian Richards. The conversation explores how Richards' fearless and aggressive approach to batting represented far more than sporting excellence. His confidence, presence and refusal to be intimidated made him a powerful symbol of Caribbean pride, independence and self-belief during an important period of social and political change. Throughout the episode, Jordan and Kieran explore how Clive Lloyd, Andy Roberts, Brian Lara, Sir Garfield Sobers and Sir Vivian Richards transcended the game to become cultural icons. Their influence helped shape a regional identity, inspire generations and establish West Indies cricket as one of the most significant sporting movements in world cricket.

In this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and Kieran Powell take a fascinating journey through the history of West Indies cricket as Kieran reveals the first half of his personal list of the most influential West Indies cricketers of all time. Rather than simply ranking players by runs, wickets or records, Kieran focuses on the cricketers whose influence stretched far beyond the scorecard. The discussion begins with Elquemedo Willett, a trailblazer who broke down regional barriers and helped open doors for generations of cricketers from the Leeward Islands. The conversation then turns to one of the most transformative players in modern cricket, Chris Gayle, exploring how the "Universe Boss" changed the way batting was approached, revolutionised T20 cricket and became one of the Caribbean's most recognisable sporting figures. Kieran also reflects on the intimidating presence and inspirational career of legendary fast bowler Sir Curtly Ambrose, before looking further back into West Indies history at the leadership, class and significance of Sir Frank Worrell and the extraordinary batting ability of George Headley. Throughout the episode, Jordan and Kieran discuss how these greats became much more than outstanding cricketers. They represented Caribbean pride, identity and unity, inspired future generations and helped establish West Indies cricket as one of the most culturally significant sporting institutions in the world. The episode also explores the wider importance of cricket across the Caribbean not only as a sport, but as a source of history, education, opportunity and regional connection.Who would make your list of the most influential West Indies cricketers in history? #PowettPlay #WestIndiesCricket #CaribbeanCricket #KieranPowell #ChrisGayle #CurtlyAmbrose #FrankWorrell #GeorgeHeadley #ElquemedoWillett #CricketLegends #WestIndiesLegends #CricketHistory #T20Cricket #CaribbeanPride #CricketPodcast #WestIndies #CricketDiscussion #CricketYouTube #WindiesCricket #Cricket Learn more about your ad choices.

He never wanted to play cricket. He became Sri Lanka's most successful Test opener.In this episode of The Quest for Success Podcast, Jam and Dylan Pathirana sit down with Dimuth Karunaratne, former Sri Lanka Test captain and one of the country's most respected cricketers, for an honest conversation on humble beginnings, resilience, and what it actually takes to lead a national team.Dimuth shares how cricket wasn't even his plan, starting the sport almost by chance before moving to St. Joseph's College and slowly earning his place through hard work, rejection, and persistence. He opens up about his mother's advice during the hardest years, the breakthrough innings that changed everything, and the pressure of proving himself at every level, from school cricket to Sri Lanka's youth teams to the international stage.The conversation explores what it took to become an opener, the mindset that carried him through setbacks, injuries and being overlooked, and the lessons he picked up from senior players who shaped his hunger for the game. Dimuth also reflects on his path to the Sri Lanka captaincy, what leadership actually looked like under pressure, and how he knew it was time to retire.This episode is a powerful reminder that the biggest careers are rarely planned.

Season 20, Episode 19: It's been a mad old week in cricket. We took a beat to consider the weekend exit of Ben Stokes from international cricket, at least for now, but the time that has passed hasn't made it make any more sense. The England men's team right now is a mess of self-justification and self-interest, and who knows where it will land. All we know is that the current direction cannot be maintained. Also this week, Kemar Roach reaches legend status with his 300th Test wicket, and Ireland's men and women have the weekend of their lives.

One of New Zealand's cricketing heroes, Bob Blair, has passed away aged 94. Petone-born fast bowler is remembered for his extraordinary courage during New Zealand's 1953 tour of South Africa, after learning his fiancée Nerissa Love was among the 151 people killed in the Tangiwai rail disaster. After initially staying away to grieve, he famously emerged from the players' tunnel at Ellis Park to bat with New Zealand's last wicket, prompting silence from the crowd and tears from players on both teams. Sports writer Lynn McConnell spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

He was a country kid with a cricket career ahead of him until one violent night changed everything. After a brutal assault left him with brain bleeds, PTSD and a body he had to rebuild from scratch, Mr Ink turned pain into armour. What followed was a life no one saw coming: gym obsession, adult films, OnlyFans controversy, public fallout with Bonnie Blue, and a reputation that followed him everywhere. In this episode of Secrets of the Underworld, Mr Ink opens up about the attack that broke him, the industry that made him infamous, and the part of himself he’s still trying to protect.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tomorrow a by-election will be held in the parliamentary seat of Makerfield in Wigan, one of three taking place. Makerfield has found itself at the epicentre of British politics - and the result could decide the next prime minister. We look at what the polls are saying about the way women in the area are saying they will vote and what is impacting that decision. Nuala McGovern is joined by BBC's political correspondent Alex Forsyth. Scotland are one of the home nations, alongside England and Ireland, hosting the Women's T20 Cricket World Cup currently taking place here. The Scots got their campaign underway last Saturday against Ireland with an historic win. Nuala is joined by the CEO of Cricket Scotland, Trudy Lindblade and by one of their team, all-rounder, Priyanaz Chatterji to talk about the growth of the women's game in Scotland and what this tournament means for the future of the game. Peptides have become a new buzzword in the wellness industry. Social media influencers have spoken about using them for optimising performance in the gym and improving their appearance, and they're increasingly popular with women. But some unregulated peptides haven't been through clinical trials and could be ineffective, or even harmful. Nuala is joined by BBC Health reporter Ruth Clegg, who has been looking into the way women are using peptides, and Adam Taylor, Professor of Anatomy at the University of Lancaster. Global Sex: What Sex Workers Know about Love and Capitalism is the title of a new book by the Danish anthropologist Sine Plambech. Sine Plambech is an internationally renowned expert on sex work, migration and human trafficking. Sine Plambech joins Nuala to tell us about her book and how she has dedicated her life to pursuing the trail of money and sex across the globe, while introducing us to four women from Thailand and Nigeria at the heart of her research.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Simon Richardson

After hearing Russell Crowe aggressively managing fans in Paris, Ricki and Tim started chatting about celebrity autographs and the famous people they’ve met over the years. Tim revealed a childhood cricket hero once swore at him while he was innocently collecting signatures at the SCG, which honestly still sounds traumatic. Meanwhile Ricki admitted she used to lurk outside Broncos games like a tiny celebrity stalker and even has fans with her signature tattooed on their bodies. Plus there were stories involving John Farnham signing cassettes at nightclubs, Mark Wahlberg autograph ambushes and Tim getting paid cash in yellow envelopes for fake DJing at Crown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
