Double Century with Jarrod Kimber

Cricket took off in Argentina surprisingly early. They beat English teams from time to time. They played an international match before Test cricket was born. With some luck, they could have played Test cricket. And if you take Guyana away, they are the best cricketing nation in South America . - Find the 99.94 app here: Android: http://bit.ly/3S29f1R iOS: http://apple.co/3ovg0M5 . To find all our...

Canada played the USA in the first International Cricket Match . They also played in the early World Cups .

The end of Aubrey Faulkner's life was about cameos, one-off comebacks and coaching. Eventually his demons got to him, but the men he coached, they carried the legacy that sadly he couldn't see he was building. - Sign up for the 99.94 DM Beta App launch here: https://9994dm.com .

In this episode we look at how good a player Aubrey Faulkner became, still the only man averaging over 40 runs with the bat and under 30 with the ball with 50 wickets.

This episode of Double Century is sadder than the rest, because of where Zimbabwe cricket finds itself over the last 20 years. But there are incredible stories here of beating the Australians , dismissing the greatest Zimbabwean , the black arm protest and most importantly, the time they beat the English . - This podcast is brought to you by our supporters at Patreon , if you like what you heard h...

This week we’re adding a bonus episode on Afghanistan , the most likely team to beat England in the next few years. This is not a standard Double Century , it’s not a written and narrated piece. It’s just me talking about Afghanistan , how they almost beat England and wondering if they’ll get a chance again. - This podcast is brought to you by our supporters at Patreon , if you like what you heard...

We're back! This week is Sri Lanka’s turn beating England . By this point Sri Lanka were a World Cup winner, and still, England were only giving them a single Test .

Bad news folks, Jarrod came off his skateboard on the way home from commentary on the England Vs. India Test Match last week, and has broken his arm, and Michael Clarke didn't even give him the chance to get ready for it. He is unable to write for the short term, and we are investigating options to allow us to continue. We'll be sure to let you know when we can get going again, we really appreciat...

This episode is focusing on when South Africa defeated England for the first time. It includes their first Test win, and then also their first series win. And what makes it all the more remarkable was how poor they had been before, how much wrist spin they had on their team and because the Boer War had only just finished. - This podcast is brought to you by our supporters at Patreon , if you like...

This episode it is Scotland's turn. A proud small cricketing nation who has produced players for England , and then suddenly decided to grow themselves. We talk to Calum MacLeod , who made a few that game, on what turned out to be an incredible day for the team that always seemed to miss its chance. - This podcast is brought to you by our supporters at Patreon , if you like what you heard here, pl...

It is Pakistan's turn to defeat England , and as you would expect, this is fun. And they didn't beat any England team, but one of the best ever. It involves a family tension over the captaincy, ordinary batting, terrible fielding, and perhaps the greatest fast bowling weapon any team has started Test cricket with. - This podcast is brought to you by our supporters at Patreon , if you like what you...

New Zealand had an incredibly tough run at the start of their Test cricket journey. So their biggest win over England wasn’t even a win.

Ireland have a long history in cricket, but their international journey is still new. And they have perhaps the most complicated relationship with modern England as their players learnt their craft in the county game, and the current England white ball captain is Irish . In this episode we focus on that incredible chase, but instead of me narrating it, we’ll let the Irish batters take you through...

India have become the most important team in cricket, but they certainly didn’t start this way. England and Australia barely played them, they struggled with fast bowling and the crowds of England were generally apathetic to them. And then the Oval Test happened. - This podcast is brought to you by our supporters at Patreon , if you like what you heard here, please help out if you can over at http...
