In this episode, we sit down with England legend, 2005 Ashes hero, and the “King of Spain” himself, Ashley Giles, for an honest, reflective, and insightful conversation about life at the very top of the game. From the transition of being a young left-arm seamer to a frontline international spinner, to the weight of expectation as a player and later Managing Director of England Cricket, Ashley opens up on a career defined by resilience and adaptation. This is a conversation packed with perspective on leadership, the realities of the modern game, and the grit required to move from the pitch to the boardroom. We talk openly about the technical shift from pace to spin, the intense pressure of the Ashes, and the evolution of leadership styles — from stick vs carrot to handing responsibility back to the players. In this episode, we cover: • The Birth of a Spinner — How a back injury at age 14 transformed a promising left-arm seamer into a 21-wicket-in-four-weeks spin sensation. • Tactics and Resilience — Dealing with the criticism of “not spinning it enough” and why having a solid technical base is your best protection under pressure. • The 2005 Ashes & Tino Best — A look back at the iconic “mind the windows” moment and the reality of the post-series celebrations. • Leadership from the Boardroom — Managing the England setup during the challenges of the COVID era and why adaptability is everything in elite teams. • The Warwickshire Transition — Ashley reflects on evolving from a disciplined coaching style to watching his squad take ownership of their success. • The “Shining Light” Philosophy — Why ego has no place in the game and the responsibility every player and leader carries for those who come next. Whether you're a young bowler navigating changes in your action, an aspiring leader, or simply love the tactical side of the game, this episode delivers high-level insight with Ashley's trademark humility and humour.

In this episode of The Bowlers Union, we "unpick" the tactical reality of the Wide Yorker. We look at why this delivery has dominated the game over the last decade and evaluate the trade-offs between its benefits and its risks in the modern era. We talk through: The Clarity Advantage: How choosing a wide line can simplify a bowler's mental state and block out conflicting advice. Tactical Shutdowns: The effectiveness of using the wide hole to shut down the leg side and force the batter away from their power zone. The Predictability Trap: Analyzing the "no-win" situation where a bowler is criticized for being too predictable if they stick to a plan, or for "changing too much" if they don't. The Ivan Toney & Chess Analogies: Why having a "pre-loaded" Plan B is essential for when a batter makes an early move across the stumps. Modern Execution Risks: How improved bat technology and creative shots like the ramp have increased the penalty for a missed yorker. It's a practical, experience-led discussion based on years of trying to hit that four-inch target under pressure. Whether you are a seamer looking for a clearer plan at the death or a coach helping players navigate the pressures of T20 cricket, this episode offers a balanced look at the art of the wide yorker.
If you play or watch county cricket, coach, or spend long days travelling with the game, this episode will feel very familiar. In this episode of The Bowlers Union, we put together an unofficial guide to food and coffee on the cricket circuit! The places you stop, the habits you fall into, and the simple choices that make away trips better. This isn't about nutrition plans or performance theory. It's about what actually works when you're on the road. We talk through: Reliable coffee stops players gravitate towards Go-to food options on away trips The routines that develop over seasons of travelling Which town only has a Pizza Express! How food and coffee fit naturally into cricket life It's practical, experience-led, and based on years of travelling the country playing and coaching — the sort of stuff you only really learn by doing it. Whether you're new to the circuit or have been around it for years, this episode works as a light, honest guide to eating and caffeinating your way through the season.
In this episode, we break down five key lessons bowlers at any level can take from Starc's Ashes series — not just what he did, but why it worked and how you can apply it this winter and into the season. We dig into: Why bowling fitness matters! How Starc's rhythm and smoothness help him maintain pace across long spells The importance of constantly upskilling, even at the very top of the game Why Starc is so dangerous from ball one — and how bowlers can start better How to develop your own aura and presence as a bowler, regardless of level If you enjoy the episode, it would mean the world if you left us a 5★ review and shared it with someone who loves their cricket as much as we do!

In a previous episode, we selected the greatest-ever Test bowling attacks from Pakistan and a Best of the Rest team made up of players from Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh! Now, it's time to put those attacks to the test. In this episode, we simulate a head-to-head clash in India, breaking down who would actually come out on top when conditions, pressure, and numbers really matter. We dive deep into the data — comparing combined bowling averages, strike rates, economy rates, and total wickets— before layering in context around Indian pitches, match situations, and how these attacks would function as a unit. This isn't about nostalgia. It's about evidence, balance, and suitability. So which talented attack takes 20 wickets in India? Who controls the game across five days? And which bowlers become the real difference makers? A proper cricket debate — backed by numbers, experience, and a bit of imagination.

In this episode of The Bowler's Union Podcast, we sit down with former England fast bowler Steve Harmison for an honest, reflective and insightful conversation about life at the very top of the game! From the intensity of Test cricket and Ashes pressure, to the realities of fast bowling, confidence, mental resilience and transitioning away from playing, Harmy opens up in a way you rarely hear. This is a conversation packed with perspective, humility, and lessons for bowlers at every level. We talk openly about the demands placed on fast bowlers, how confidence can shift careers, the mental side of performance, and why understanding yourself matters just as much as your action or your pace. In this episode, we cover: What it really feels like to bowl fast for England Handling pressure, expectation, and the Ashes spotlight Confidence, self-belief, and the mental side of fast bowling Managing form, criticism, and tough periods in a career Lessons Harmy wishes he'd known earlier Whether you're a young bowler, an experienced pro, a coach, or simply a lover of cricket, this episode offers rare insight into the mindset of an elite fast bowler — delivered with honesty, humour, and perspective.

In this episode, we lay down the fundamental principles every bowler needs to carry into 2026 — the non-negotiables that separate bowlers who drift from bowlers who are trusted under pressure. We get into: • Taking yourself seriously — and why the right kit actually matters • Training with purpose, not just getting the overs in • Mastering over and around the wicket and knowing when to use each • Developing a class, reliable slower ball you can trust • Using the bouncer effectively as a tactical weapon • Becoming a proactive bowler, not a reactive one • Why top of off is king — and always will be These are the standards that hold up at every level of the game, year after year. If you want to bowl with clarity, control, and confidence in 2026, this episode gives you the blueprint.
