In this LEGEND/ICON episode we chat with South Africa's leading ODI wicket taker and 2nd highest test wicket taker Shaun Pollock! It was quite surreal chatting with Polly! We grew up watching and admiring him! He was excellent to talk to and is so articulate.  You can tell why he also has a great career as a tv pundit after his stellar international career. He is a natural storyteller! We discuss Pollys love of white ball cricket, how his action changed throughout his career and who his influences were growing up and as a young pro playing for Natal. He also gives away some of his favourite training tips which are very useful. We hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we enjoyed recording it.

In this LEGEND/ICON episode we chat with the greatest quick bowler of all-time. South Africa's leading test wicket taker and a man with the best strike rate of anyone to have taken over 300 test wickets!!! DALE STEYN!!! It was awesome chatting with Dale and we could have chatted for hours but we thought we better not push our luck (we will try and get him on the podcast again)! His knowledge is outstanding and you can see why he has been such a force in both franchise and test cricket. More impressive than his knowledge was his enthusiasm which had us on the edge of our seats and desperate to get bowling! This episode is really worth watching on YouTube if you can as you will feel like Dale is with you getting you pumped up! We start with some quickfire questions as always to get an insight into Dales philosophy and what he likes. It was really interesting to hear how he tried to integrate other successful bowlers such as Brett Lee, Shoaib Akhtar and Shaun Pollock into his own action creating a really unique style. We also had to talk about Dales intimidating on field persona! We hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we enjoyed recording it.

One final Test match to round out the summer! Christchurch is the scene and Andrew Ramsey is there and he gives Josh Schonafinger the lowdown on what to expect at Hagley Oval. Mitch Starc needs two poles to go past Dennis Lillee while Kane Williamson and Tim Southee will line up in their 100th matches apiece. TRIVIA ANSWERSThe only bowlers in Test cricket with a better strike rate than Mitch Starc's 48.62 are:Dale Steyn (42.38), Malcolm Marshall (46.76) and … Waqar Younis (43.49)! In terms of players playing their 100th Tests together, it's far more common than we assumed! Mike Atherton and Alex Stewart did so in 2000, Shaun Pollock, Jacques Kallis and Stephen Fleming did in the same match in 2006, and Michael Clarke and Alastair Cook also reached 100 in the Perth Test of 2013-14! Well done if you knew any of those! This episode brought to you by Qantas, the Spirit of Australia. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, we chat with journalist, blogger, author, podcaster, vlogger – or in short, the Mark Waugh of cricket coverage – Jarrod Kimber. We focus on a piece Jarrod wrote last year titled 'The Ugly Australian: the evolution of a cricket species'. He talks about his formative experiences with sledging and hyper-aggression at the club level and how his views on behavior and moral codes have changed over time. No other team treats cricket as a team sport like Australia does, says Jarrod, but they also stretch the limits of what team-mates must do. Talking Points: The island that is Australian cricket - with moral codes and 'good bloke, bad bloke' conventions that combine into the 'Australian Way' Club cricket in Australia in the 1980s and 1990s - when the game was sometimes a violent, contact sport The atmosphere at Australian cricket grounds in the pre-2000s The culture of Australian cricket that built up to Sandpapergate The two sides to Allan Border's legendary quip to Dean Jones in the furnace of Madras in 1986: 'let's get a tough Queenslander out here' Cameron Bancroft and the demands of young players fitting in The ruthless punishments handed out post Sandpapergate How David Warner would have been seen in the Australia of the 1980s The drinking culture in Australian cricket The vastly different culture around Australian women's cricket Participants: Jarrod Kimber (@ajarrodkimber), Patreon Siddhartha Vaidyanathan (@sidvee) Related: Reverse-swing: cricket's ball-tampering in plain sight - Jarrod Kimber, ESPNcricinfo The problem with the Australian Line of Control - Sharda Ugra, ESPNcricinfo Crossing the Line - Gideon Haigh's book post Sandpapergate Steve Smith's Men - Geoff Lemon's book post Sandpapergate Man, Manlier, Manliest - Geoff Lemon, The Cricket Monthly When a tie was a victory for Border's battlers - 81allout podcast with Michael Sexton Kumar Sangakkara welcoming Shaun Pollock to the crease in the league game of the 2003 World Cup Warwick Armstrong keeps Frank Woolley waiting - Arunabha Sengupta, Cricketcountry.com Justin Langer's bail-nudging incident in Sri Lanka - YouTube video Brad Haddin dislodging the bails before the ball hit the stumps - YouTube video

A move to ban the use of saliva to shine a cricket ball because of the danger of transmitting Covid-19 may force bowlers to relearn or reinvent one of the sport's most prized but troublesome skills.The International Cricket Council's cricket committee, comprising a roll call of former top players, has recommended on medical advice that spit polishing the ball should be prohibited while the coronavirus outbreak persists. Unlike baseball, where the spitball has long been illegal, some methods in cricket are a well-established part of the game.The cricket decision was based on evidence from Dr. Peter Harcourt, the chair of the ICC's medical advisory committee, of "the elevated risk of the transmission of the virus through saliva."It found at the same time that it is "highly unlikely that the virus can be transmitted through sweat and saw no need to prohibit the use of sweat to polish the ball."The decision of the committee, chaired by former India captain Anil Kumble and comprising high-profile ex-international stars such as England captain Andrew Strauss, Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene, India's Rahul Dravid and South Africa's Shaun Pollock, seems a straight-forward hygiene precaution as cricket considers a path to resumption amid the coronavirus pandemic. But nothing to do with swinging a cricket ball is ever simple.Even the science around outswing, inswing and reverse swing bowling isn't generally agreed or understood, nor are the conditions that favor swing bowling or the means that allow a bowler to cause the ball to deviate in the air as it travels towards the batsmen. Inducing swing is one of cricket's most desired skills but also a minefield threaded by a narrow path which divides legality from illegality.Spit-polishing by the bowler or the fielding team has been for decades the accepted method of shining one side of the ball to create the aerodynamic asymmetry which, in conjunction with the position and angle of the seam and the grip and delivery action of the bowler, causes the ball to swing.Licking the fingers, applying the saliva to the ball and rubbing it vigorously on the trousers to improve the shine has become an ingrained, almost instinctive action by players between deliveries — one that will be hard to resist or unlearn. Whether sweat can be as effectively employed as saliva is uncertain but it is likely every swing bowler in the world will be working to find out as the ban on spit-polishing passes through the ICC machinery.The recommendation of the cricket committee moves now to the chief executives committee where likely it will be quickly endorsed.The use of saliva was always fraught because by chewing gum, sucking boiled candy or some other confectionery it was possible to apply to the ball some combination of saliva and another agent that enhanced the shine. Ball tampering — the use of illegal methods or substances to change the condition of the ball — has been one of cricket's most chronic or intractable problems.The former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis was twice sanctioned for ball tampering: first for rubbing the ball on the abrasive zip of his trousers and later for applying to the ball saliva mixed with a mint or other candy.Ex-Australia captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner were banned for 12 months and batsman Cameron Bancroft for nine months by Cricket Australia for their involvement in an attempt to use sandpaper to alter the condition of the ball in a test in South Africa in 2018.For that reason the cricket committee cautiously considered whether, in the absence of saliva, the use of an artificial substance such as wax to shine the ball should be temporarily approved. The committee found the question too fraught: at present the use of any artificial substance constitutes ball tampering and members felt any relaxation or variation of the rule might be problematic.However, amid fears that an inability to swing the ball might tip the balance of cric...
