Thanks For Coming - a podcast about cricket

Thanks for Coming as Ploughmans and cricket clubs up and down the country kickstart their 2021 season on a sunny April green top. The long-standing pre-season friendly saw both teams unleashing pent-up bowling attacks and batsmen trying to mark their territory at the crease. Our traditional Club Day blew away many cobwebs to see plenty of wickets, boundaries, catches and appeals and gave our highl...

Cricket’s back, we’re back, and you are back listening to the Greatest Cricket Club in the World’s podcast. Thanks For Coming to this week’s show where we discuss the pre-season recruitment drive, the sore backs (and heads) from a few decent net sessions, and the all important insight into finding value for Ploughmans’ new Fantasy Cricket League. Have you backed yourself? These lads certainly have...

Thanks for Coming to what’s been an exceptional season despite all of its challenges. On this episode you’ll hear from Surrey’s finest bowlers, the first RoW captain to have lost vs England and Ireland in years, and also from our rivals and friends at Southbank CC.

Hello and Thanks For Coming to the latest podcast from what is arguably the Greatest Cricket Club in the World. This week we discuss one man’s incredible demolition of an opposition, taking 10 wickets for 25 runs across two games. The spinning icon is in good company, joined by a club captain’s 5fer, and two half centurions also spinning their way to 4fers from either end in the same game. We hear...

Thanks For Coming as we honour our club’s ultimate all-rounder who marked his 400th game by bringing up 5,000 runs and adding to his 650+ Plough record-taking wicket haul. The fight for the batting trophy heats up as the former leader hits another ton, only for his rival to hit back to back 100s over the Bank Holiday weekend. And how do you pick your Captain? Do you base it on looks or on whether...

Thanks for Coming as this fun-filled season nears its midway point for our boys in Surrey, the Ploughmans Cricket Club. This week you’ll hear about a debutant’s 5fer, the importance of red ink and the dangers of chatting up your ability in the pub the night before a game. We also chat ‘Plough status’ as more club legends don the blue and gold crest to make a mark on games Home and Away. And, send...

Thanks For Coming as we celebrate one batsman’s incredible 10,000th run milestone. On this episode we also hear from club cricket’s ageing Ben Stokes, about an all-time fight back from 24-6... and we battle rainy conditions to get six games on over the fortnight. Also, we learn that another Queen La2Fer may have started their reign at Ploughmans CC. And, the Warden of Morden battles the Gumpert fa...

Thanks For Coming to our second episode as we are excited to confirm that cricket is well and truly back. On this podcast we feature club cricket's most alpha men, from the grassroots Kevin Pietersen to the skipper with a point to prove and we hear briefly from one spinner who looked to assert his dominance on his return to the sport. It's a new season with plenty of new faces, but some things nev...

Join us for the first episode of Thanks For Coming (TFC) to hear about the pace bowling pilot who flew in from India for just two overs, an overnighter from Aus that led to a double century, and the sledge of the season that sent sales of Newberry ladies gear skyrocketing. Our surprise guest speaker talks us through a challenging 2017 season, how he missed out on a ton through lack of fitness in a...
