Podcasts about T20

The Ashes have gotten underway in an explosive fashion. The opening day saw England bundled out for 172 with Aussie paceman Mitchell Starc notching 7 for 58, the tourists responding by keeping the hosts at 123 for 9 at stumps, as captain Ben Stokes took 5 for 23. England is heading into day two with the upper hand, and intend to keep the pressure on Australia. Australian Correspondent Adam Peacock told Piney there was some fairly average shot selection from the batters on both teams. He says that the greatest thing you can have in test cricket is patience, and the batters who are used to playing T20 just can't help but try hit every ball.

The time is right for New Zealand to join the rest of the world with a privately-backed, franchise Twenty20 league. That's the message from Don Mackinnon, the man standing at the front of the group looking to achieve just that. Some 22 years on from cricket introducing the shortest format, T20 has become the vehicle in which the sport is growing around the world. And, as is the case with sports like football and basketball, strong club-based franchise competitions have proven to be the main driver of that. Led by the Indian Premier League, established in 2008, the franchise game has slowly but surely expanded to all corners of the cricket-playing world. First to India, then England, Australia, Pakistan, the West Indies, South Africa and so on. Even non-cricketing strongholds such as the US, Canada and even Nepal have franchise domestic leagues. The only exception to that is New Zealand. Since the inception of T20 cricket, New Zealand has maintained a domestic competition made up of the six major associations – Auckland, Northern Districts, Wellington, Central Districts, Canterbury and Otago – known as the Super Smash. However, the lack of any franchise-style model has left the Super Smash outdated. Instead of operating as NZ Cricket's (NZC) main driver of revenue, the Super Smash instead operates as a breeding ground for local talent, allowing Kiwi players to develop and step into the Black Caps and White Ferns respectively. And while that might be beneficial for New Zealand's national sides, the Super Smash being left off Sky's new cricket broadcast deal from the start of next summer shows the model, as it stands, is broken. But, led by Mackinnon, a consortium that includes former Black Caps captain Stephen Fleming and NZ Cricket Players' Association boss Heath Mills wants to take New Zealand into the franchise world. The proposed “NZ20″ would involve teams created by the major associations being sold to private owners, and establish a league to be played at the height of the Kiwi summer in January, as early as the start of 2027. It would also provide parity to what has been shown to work around the world. While the format is still to be finalised, the NZ20 would theoretically be a Kiwi-based league providing New Zealand's players the opportunity to play a franchise competition at home. As and when a format is decided, and agreed to by NZ Cricket, the major associations and the players' association, the NZ20 would revolutionise the sport in Aotearoa. Speaking to Weekend Sport with Jason Pine, Mackinnon – the chairman of the NZ20 Establishing Committee – explained that while similar attempts to implement a franchise league in New Zealand haven't materialised, the state of the sport in 2025 has changed that equation. “If we go back a decade, I was on the board of NZ Cricket,” he said. “We looked at setting up a franchise league back in 2013-14. “At the time we didn't think it was viable. But as one highly respected figure put to me, there's never been more money in the international game of cricket at the moment. “So many people around the world are excited by it and investing in it, but New Zealand is not part of that. “I just think the time is right to tweak that model and create something in our domestic league that fans are excited by. The money is there, the interest is there. The timing is perfect.” Naturally, with this kind of expansion, falsehoods have materialised. For a start, Mackinnon dismisses any notion the NZ20 is a “rebel league”, as suggested when first reported. Mackinnon concedes “it would be crazy to do this without the support of NZC”. Earlier this year, the NZ20 Establishing Committee presented the concept to NZC. In turn, two members of the NZC board are also part of the Establishing Committee, at a time when the governing body assesses multiple options as to how to revolutionise the shortest format here. Mackinnon also points out that what the NZ20 intends to do isn't new. Cricketing nations across the globe have implemented the same models, where privately-backed franchises co-exist with national boards to allow T20 to operate as the centrepiece of the domestic season. Those models have provided the blueprint for the NZ20 Establishing Committee to take on board. “What we're looking to do here is not novel,” Mackinnon said. “In actual fact, it's done all around the world. “The better question might be ‘why aren't we?' The South African league, for example, has gone from loss-making to extraordinarily successful. The Caribbean league has done exactly the same. “The Caribbean league is probably the model we've mostly looked at as replicating, in part. It's a relatively small economy, a relatively small talent pool. And yet it is reinvigorating the game in the Caribbean. “Will it be here in 30 years' time? I don't know. But the model is certainly doing great things for the game at the moment. There is absolutely no reason why we can't do it here.” What's more, there is also evidence of Mackinnon's suggestion of franchises having stakes controlled by the major associations, while selling ownership to investors. For example, England's “The Hundred” competition initially involved its franchises being co-owned by the English county cricket sides. However, when put to tender earlier in 2025, hundreds of millions of pounds were raised for the counties to use as they saw fit, including investing in the grassroots. The biggest potential worry for the NZ20 – if successful – is the window in which it would operate. If Mackinnon's suggestion of January eventuates, the NZ20 would clash with Australia's Big Bash League, South Africa's SA20 and the UAE's ILT20. The SA20 and ILT20 are both owned by Indian private equity, while the Big Bash League is almost certain to follow a similar path in seeking outside investment. Naturally, then, that would leave the NZ20 competing for talent, be it local or international. For Mackinnon, though, the priority is ensuring the competition is primarily an outlet for New Zealanders. “We're really conscious of that,” he said. “The first thing is we want to make sure our very best players are playing in it. “Heath [Mills] has been talking a lot to the Daryl Mitchells of this world, the Kane Williamsons – our best players. They are incredibly excited about this as a concept. “First and foremost, you're going to have a young kid playing for Otago, bowling to Finn Allen for example. That's got to be good for the game in New Zealand. “There's an awful lot of really good white ball cricketers playing around the world, not all of them can play in South Africa and Australia. “I have no doubt that there would be the opportunity to supplement squads. They would still be very good, exciting players that would put bums on seats.” However, the NZ20 isn't the only option on the table for NZC. The national body is also undertaking a review, led by Deloitte, to determine which direction it should move in. While a similar, privately-backed franchise model is also on the table – separate from the NZ20 – the biggest potential rival would be for the NZC to seek having at least one side join Australia's Big Bash. While that would mean New Zealand and Australia joining forces – as seen with the Warriors in the NRL, the Breakers in the NBL and Auckland FC and the Wellington Phoenix in the A-League – it would also mean NZC has less influence on how the team could be run. Regardless, Mackinnon, said that while the NZ20 Establishing Committee believes it has the best way forward, it ultimately wants to see what's best for the sport – even if it means NZC moves in another direction. “I'll be the first to applaud NZ Cricket for looking at all of their options, they're doing the right thing,” he said. “If they say that's better for cricket in New Zealand, we will live with that and I will wish that project every success. “It seems to me a competition that's played throughout New Zealand, ideally at holiday venues at the peak of summer, with some of our best players playing, some great international players is better for fans, it's better for players, it's better for our regions, and personally I think it's better for our Black Cap and White Ferns development programmes. “But that's just our opinion. I fully accept that NZ Cricket are looking at all their options – as they should.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

The history of the Ashes is littered with moments that have defined and intensified the rivalry between the two nations. As we anticipate what those moments might be in the 2025-26 series, Jim Maxwell has been looking back at some of his favourite Ashes memories. In the final part of this series, he and Corbin Middlemas remember England's victory at Edgbaston in 2005 that dramatically swung the momentum of that series.

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.

In this episode of the show, Baldy, Raj and Stu look back at the cricketing week that was, which saw NZ in T20 action against the West Indies, India win the Women's World Cup and Australia name their squad for the first Ashes Test. We also look ahead to an intriguing Test series between India and South Africa. We start the show by congratulating India on their Women's World Cup win, before moving back to New Zealand where the Black Caps are 2-1 up in their T20 series against the West Indies. There's praise for Matthew Forde, Ish Sodhi and Mark Chapman, plus questions about NZ's death bowling and what the T20 World Cup squad might look like if - and it's looking like a bigger 'if' with each passing day - injured players like Glenn Phillips, Finn Allen, Will O'Rourke and Lockie Ferguson do return. Next we head to India, where Rishabh Pant returns for the home side as they prepare to take on South Africa in what shapes to be the toughest challenge to date for the current World Test Champions. Can Pant and Dhruv Jurel play in the same XI? Is Keshav Maharaj the best spinner in the world? And will India simply be too strong on home soil? We round out the show with the latest Ashes news, which mainly involves asking Baldy his thoughts on the Australian squad for the first Test. Jake Weatherald's inclusion has generated most of the headlines, but will he actually play? And if so, what might that mean for Marnus Labuschagne, Beau Webster, Cameron Green - and even Sam Konstas? We'll be back in your feed next week with a full preview of The Ashes, plus some more news and notes from around the world.

The Black Caps escaped a late West Indies charge to win the second T20 cricket international of the five-match series by three runs in Auckland. The hosts made 207 for five – Mark Chapman excelled with 78 off 28 balls and three catches. The visitors were struggling at 93 for six in the 13th over, but a flurry saw them require 16 off the last. Chapman joined Piney to discuss his performance. “It was just one of those days where the ball seemed to find the middle of the bat and you're just enjoying yourselves.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A probe into Gideon Haigh's worldview, someone I've anticipated interviewing ever since this podcast began. Some highlights from the podcast.On cricket: “Cricket marches backwards into the future — always haunted by its past.”On Warne: “He had perfect superficiality and the gift of putting everyone at ease.”On journalism: “Legacy media has become mindlessly negative. If they can't own it, they destroy it.”On new media: “It's amazingly empowering to write something and press publish — no intermediaries, no gatekeepers.”On India: “India has become the gravitational centre of world cricket — a nation full of gods, and some of them play cricket.”On memory: “Memory is a slippery thing — journalists are constantly trying to pin it down, trusting it when it suits us, interrogating it when it doesn't.”Gideon is a veteran journalist, author and the most eclectic cricket writer alive today. He has prolific output. He's published more than 50 books and thousands of articles scoping a gamut of topics. Work, bureaucracy, the office, Australian crime, banks, business, scandals, cricket, cricket history, cricket politics, media, journalism, biography, memoir, and too many more to rattle off. Check out the video of this one (Spotify or Youtube). The decor is a very on the nose projection for Gideon's aforementioned interests. Lining opposite walls are two imposing floor to ceiling bookshelves eyeing each down for Gideons attention. Behind him a shrine to cricket and across from him a shrine to the rest. Gideon is also the co-host, alongside Peter Lalor, the wonderful Substack and podcast - Cricket Et Al. If you like Cricket than you'll love Cricket Et Al.... a few quotes from Gideon in the interview to leave you with."I've always thought journalism was a great vehicle for curiosity"“Contemporaneous documentation — that which was created at the time — is the closest thing we have to truth.”“Part of the romance of archives is finding them — going to see the thing that no one else has looked at.”“We are too easily satisfied with low-hanging fruit. I believe strongly in delayed gratification.”“An inquest is like a lightning flash — it illuminates everything in its surroundings for a moment before vanishing.”“If the record spoke for itself, it wouldn't need interpretation.”“A good historian has humility. They know they can't tell the whole thing, but they do their best.”“It's not imagination that's rare, it's perseverance.”“I'm interested in delighting readers, not just informing them.”“The minute I stop getting better, I'll stop doing it.”“Journalism should be a vehicle for curiosity, not defensiveness.”“I've always thought the best journalism comes from knowing who really pulls the strings.”“The site, the Substack — it's a hungry beast. It requires constant replenishment.”“I'm not just writing to be read. I'm writing to find out what I think.”“I dislike the term ‘non-fiction' — defining something by what it's not.”“Legacy media is in long-term decline. They can't own new ideas — so they'd rather destroy them.”“The barriers to entry have never been lower. The barriers to making a living have never been higher.”“Cricket is a game that marches backward into the future — every feat echoes those that came before.”“Test cricket is romantic love; T20 is carnal love.”

The West Indies beat the Black Caps by 7 runs in the opening T20 last night in Auckland to take a 1-nil lead in the five match series.

Some late big hitting by Black Caps captain Mitchell Santer wasn't enough to get them home as they fell to a 7 run defeat to the West Indies in the opening T20 at Eden Park.

The Black Caps captain Mitchell Santner says they let the run rate get away on them as they came up just short in last night's opening T20 against the West Indies at Eden Park.

The Black Caps are keeping an eye on February's T20 World Cup heading into a five-match series against the West Indies, starting at Eden Park tonight. It will be New Zealand's last T20 series before their World Cup squad is announced. Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explained further.

The main course of our international home summer of men's cricket is upon us.The West Indies are playing a packed schedule of matches against the Black Caps right up until Christmas - starting with the first T20 at Eden Park tomorrow night. Sports reporter Daniel Gilhooly spoke to Lisa Owen.

The actions of the driver during the mass stabbing on a UK train praised; Optus executives questioned as part of a deadly triple zero service outage; in cricket, India levels T20 series against Australia.

In this episode of the show, Baldy, Binksy and Stu look back at the past two weeks, which saw NZ sweep England in an ODI series, Rohit & Virat roll back the years, Women's World Cup upsets & South Africa win a Test away in Pakistan. We start the show in New Zealand, where the Black Caps beat England 3-0 in the ODI series after a rain-affected false start to the international summer. There were plenty of positives for New Zealand - Daryl Mitchell, most of the bowlers and Mitchell Santner's bat, to name a few - as they chased down the visitors' modest totals on three separate occasions. We talk about Zak Foulkes's composure, Kane Williamson's retirement from T20 internationals and ask if there's anything to worry about from an England point of view. Next we head to Australia, where the home side has been playing white-ball cricket against India, but inevitably the conversation turns towards The Ashes. Has Marnus done enough? Would they actually leave out Beau Webster? And is Josh Hazlewood the first name on the Australian teamsheet? There's also praise for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's unbeaten partnership in the 3rd ODI, which could well be the last time the two of them stride to the middle on Australian soil. Then it's off to the Women's World Cup, where we saw India end Australia's incredible run and South Africa reverse their opening-match loss to England on their way to the final. Batting was in the spotlight once again in our discussion of this tournament, with the hundred from Jemimah Rodrigues taking top billing. To round out the show, there's a brief shout-out to the South African men's side for defeating Pakistan in the second Test of their series, thanks in no small way to Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer as the latter brought up his 1000th first-class wicket during the match.

Adam Zampa is one of Australia’s most interesting — and interested — cricketers. He does things his own way. Zamps stands out both on and off the field. Across a remarkable career - that is still right in the thick of things - Zampa has become one of Australia’s greatest-ever white ball leg-spinners — a two-time World Cup winner, and one of only a handful of players to take over 150 ODI wickets and more than 80 in T20 internationals. His consistency, control and competitive edge have made him a cornerstone of Australia’s white ball dominance. In this episode, Howie dives deep with the demands of international cricket, the craft of spin, the mental grind of elite cricket, life away from the game, and what drives him to keep evolving. It’s the story of a modern-day Aussie original, written entirely in his own style. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

None of the high-scoring T20 era stuff here, this was a proper scrap. And with six balls to go, and Sri Lanka a bowler down, neither team was confident about seeing it through. But nor did either expect the ending they got.
