Season 19, Episode 1: It is officially the start of the southern season, because we say so, and what more fitting way to start than with a huge Sheffield Shield round.

Plenty more this week: Geelong might get its own Big Bash team, USA cricket goes broke, Jadeja dominates West Indies, so does Nepal, Kohli is heading back to Australia, Ashwin is coming earlier than planned, and that's just some of it.

There are plenty of places to start when deconstructing where things went wrong in West Indies cricket but do the selectors get their portion of the blame? West Indians love to call for this person and that to be dropped but arguably too many players in WI cricket get dropped before it is even the time to do so. Machel took a look at the batting party that toured Bangladesh in January 2021 and analysed how we got to January 2025 with only Kraigg Braithwaite left. Should selectors take more of the blame - do they make too many unforced errors? As ever please leave a rating, review and subscribe to the Caribbean Cricket Podcast.

The Nepali national men's cricket team achieved a 2-1 series T20 victory over West Indies in the United Arab Emirates. On the second day of the three-day series, the West Indies' 83-run loss is the lowest total ever posted by a full member against an associate nation. Nepal's 90-run win also represents the biggest winning margin an associate team has recorded over a full member. SBS Nepali spoke with Melbourne-based cricketer Santosh Bastakoti about Nepal's performance and future in cricket. - नेपालले संयुक्त अरब इमिरेट्समा आयोजना भएको टी-२० सिरिज अन्तर्गत सोमवार राति भएको खेलमा वेस्ट इन्डिजलाई ८३ रनमै अलआउट गरेर एसोसिएट राष्ट्रले पूर्ण सदस्य माथि हालसम्मकै सबैभन्दा ठुलो अन्तरको जित हासिल गर्न सफल भएको छ। पूर्ण सदस्य राष्ट्रलाई एउटा एसोसिएट राष्ट्रको ऐतिहासिक जितको रूपमा यसलाई हेरिँदै गर्दा, उक्त खेलमा नेपालले ९० रनको फराकिलो अन्तरले जितेको हो। मङ्गलवार नेपालले वेस्ट इन्डिज विरूद्ध भएको अन्तिम खेलमा भने १० विकेटले हार बेहोरेको छ। सोमवारको खेल पछि मेलबर्नस्थित क्रिकेट खेलाडी एवम् अम्पायर सन्तोष बस्ताकोटीसँग नेपालको प्रदर्शनलाई लिएर एसबीएस नेपालीले गरेको कुराकानी सहितको रिपोर्ट सुन्नुहोस्।

At the back end of 2024 outgoing ICC Chair Greg Barclay suggested the West Indies should into seperate islands and nations. Then news broke that new ICC chair Jay Shah and the head of CA and ECB are planning to introduce a two tier system to test cricket so they can play each other more and make more money. The implication is that West Indies would be one of those teams that would fall into a unprofitable tier two. Predictably this has caused huge outrage. Machel and Santokie had to jump into the studio to address the latest drama in West Indies cricket. As ever please leave a rating, review and subscribe to the Caribbean Cricket Podcast.

Hamas yet to respond to an Israeli and US agreed plan on ending the Gaza war; Australia's Islamic community backs a flotilla bringing aid to the besieged enclave, despite government concerns; and in spor; Nepal triumphs over the West Indies at the end of the T20 series.
In this episode of the show, Baldy and Stu recap the India v Pakistan Asia Cup final and take a brief look at all the cricket to look forward to over the next few months. We start the show by talking about Pakistan's impressive start, with Farhan and Fakhar combining to reach a score of 113-1. And then the wheels fell off as a mixture of excellent spin bowling and poor shot selection led to the collapse of all collapses, which saw Pakistan crumble to be all out for 146. It wasn't all smooth sailing for India, though, who found themselves in trouble at 20-3 before Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube played their part in what proved to be an exciting final and one which saw India crowned as Asia Cup champions in 2025. Do Pakistan have enough building blocks for a 2026 T20 World Cup challenge? And is SKY's spot under threat? To round out the show, we make quick mention of a few things we're looking forward to in what shapes as an exciting finish to the calendar year in the world of cricket. We'll be back in your feed again soon to discuss the week that was, which should include India v West Indies, the Chappell-Hadlee T20 series and the Women's World Cup, among other things.

70 years ago this year, a researcher at University College of the West Indies in Jamaica published a paper in The Lancet describing a case series of patients with diabetes who did not have the typical hallmarks of type 1 or type 2 disease. They were young, underweight, resistant to insulin, and did not tend to have ketoacidosis. The condition was coined J-type diabetes, after Jamaica, and it was briefly recognised by WHO as malnutrition-related diabetes. However, WHO removed it from its official classification in 1999, because of insufficient evidence of its association with malnutrition. In this episode of In Conversation With, Professor Meredith Hawkins and Professor Nihal Thomas explain how this “lost” condition, which they estimate affects 25 million people worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, is now becoming more widely recognised and better understood, albeit with a long way to go in terms of additional research. They also propose a new name: type 5 diabetes. Listen now to explore the fascinating history of the disorder and the urgent need for effective treatments.Read the full Viewpoint:https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(25)00263-3/fulltext?dgcid=buzzsprout_icw_podcast_September_25_langloContinue this conversation on social!Follow us today at...https://thelancet.bsky.social/https://instagram.com/thelancetgrouphttps://facebook.com/thelancetmedicaljournalhttps://linkedIn.com/company/the-lancethttps://youtube.com/thelancettv

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 326 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. In this episode, we revisit the 2013 ICC Women's ODI World Cup — a tournament that was as dramatic off the field as it was on it. Hosted in India under the shadow of administrative decisions, last-minute venue shifts, and limited visibility, the event nonetheless produced unforgettable cricketing moments. From Sri Lanka's stunning upsets and India's faltering campaign, to West Indies' fairytale run and Australia's dominance, Ankit joins us to trace the highs, lows, and legacies of this edition. Along the way, we explore how the discourse around women's cricket was shaped in 2013 and how it paved the way for the professional era we see today.Thank you so much for tuning in to today's episode and for your incredible support.

At the back end of 2024 West Indies defeated Bangladesh in an ODI series for the first time in 10 years.

Spoiler: We're very worried. Teddy and Corbin discuss the recent news that Pat Cummins will miss the NZ and India white-ball series as he manages a lower back issue in a race to be fit for the first Test of the Ashes. We also check in on Marnus, before diving back into our mailbag.
There is no cricket in the Caribbean without Politricks. Last year Cricket West Indies held a critical meeting to look at the Wehby report and implement some more much needed governance reform. Alas the Barbados and Guyana cricket associations refused to show up to the meeting thereby impeding the process (disclaimer: they did eventually agree to the same recommendations a few months later). This isnt the first time they have acted in this manner and likely wont be the last. Machel had to jump into the studio to address the issue and ask whether Barbados and Guyana really want West Indies cricket to succeed?

At the back end of last year outgoing ICC chairman Greg Barclay made a few interesting comments about the state of cricket in the Caribbean. He seemingly feels cricket in the region would be better if the West Indies disbanded into separate islands and nations. Machel had to jump into the studio to address the rank paternalism.

This is episode 238 and it's going to be full of legal back and forth, all about the Langalibalele Rebellion, another little war as the London times called it — it's action at Bushman's River Pass after which British engineers will be sent to blow up bits of the Drakensberg. In 1873 Benjamin Chilly Campbell Pine was reappointed as Lieutenant-Governor of Natal. Pine was a career officer in the British Colonial Services, and this was the second time he was taking up the post of Lieutenant Governor in Natal. His first stint was logged between April 1850 to March 1855 and Pinetown on the hills above Durban is named after him. Then he spent time in the Gold Coast in Ghana, then the West Indies, as Governor of the Leeward Islands and Antigua. His second stint was cut short largely because of how he was going to deal with the Langalibalele affair. Two other colonials will feature through our story this episode, one being Theophilus Shepstone the Secretary of Native Affairs in Natal, and the other was Bishop John Colenso who was a liberal humanist and the implacable enemy of most British settlers. Pine's administration had to contend with the "Shepstone System," a policy of indirect rule developed by Theophilus Shepstone. This controversially separated African and European populations and was a dominant force in Natal's governance during Pine's tenure. While Pine and Shepstone collaborated, their administrations also faced criticism from white settlers over issues of land, labor, and the financing of native policy. The other main character of our tale today was Langalibalele, the hereditary chief of the Hlubi tribe from around 1836. After fleeing Zululand in 1849, he and his fellow refugees were granted land by the colonial authorities in the Escourt District, west of the town along the Msuluzi and Mtshezi Rivers. The town was laid out by Colonel Estcourt In 1847 and named after the British officer. The land the amaHlubi were handed was technically not for free, their obligations included protecting the colony from the San Raiders some galloping in from as far away as the Maluti Mountains. Langalibalele and his people were part of the Shepstone System, granted their own territory seperated from white farms. Ten years after arriving in their fertile rolling hills, Langalibalele headed off to Iswatini, Swaziland, where he'd fetched his head wife, uMzamose in 1857. There was some confusion about what the amaHlubi were expected to do. Essentially, their role was to form a buffer zone in the region and were even presented with some guns for that purpose, and once jobs opened up on the diamond mines, hundreds of amaHlubi men headed off to labour in Griqualand West, returning with valuable goods like horses, and more guns. The people flourished through the 1860s and into the early 1870s and were at peace with the colonial farmers, growing from 7 000 to 10 000 souls, with 15 000 head of cattle. The original 364 square kilometres of their land extended to more than 700 square kilometres. But the relationship with the British was riven by confusion and distrust. Natal was isolated from the hinterland by the formidabble Drakensberg Mountains, and was surrounded by black nations, thus increasing the paranoia of the settlers. The amaThembu and Xhosa to the south were respected, not to mention the amaZulu to the north East. Communication with the Cape was slow along the few roads and by sea, there were also few transport corridors in Natal itself which engendering a feeling of insecurity among the colonists.In Early March 1873 John Macfarlane singled Langalibalele and the amaHlubi out and demanded the registration of their guns in terms of Law 5. Langalibalele said he was too busy and suffering from an illness, and could not be expected to head off across such as vast area looking for his 2000 men and counting their guns. A war was brewing.
