Welcome back to the Bishop and Bear. We are fast gearing up to cover the World Cup which all kicks off on Thursday with, of course, England vs New Zealand. A definite sense of déjà vu there, but we don’t think it will feel that way when they trot out at Ahmedabad. Unless it rains of course, but fingers crossed on that front even in Monsoon season.   For one of our guests on the barstools of bravad...

Hello again and welcome back to The Bishop and Bear. Or, if it’s your first time, thanks for popping in and great to have you with us.   Two lively guests ensure some very lively cricket chat, so grab your drink and join us.

A man who has been setting alight Division 6 of the Oxford and Cherwell Cricket league with his deceptively effective outswingers, he swings into action here to help us chew over all manner of cricket re...

Welcome back to the Bishop and Bear. There’s a white ball series against New Zealand coming up and who better to chat with about that, than our guest on the Barstool of Bravado today? A former New Zealand opening bowler with 73 Test wickets no less.

Listen here as Ricky meets Nigel Henderson and Tony Bishop to discuss the Ashes, his career and Ponting Wines that have been carefully crafted to reflect his life and to ensure flavour, structure and complexity of the highest quality.  It’s a quality chat too, covering coaching jobs, how he's helping gras...

Aryan Surana is joined by his experienced colleagues at Guerilla Cricket for talking about the magnum opus on the horizon - Ashes. We discuss whether Steve Smith representing Sussex is a boon or a bane. Can Ben Stokes' prescription of 'fast and flat' wickets be taken at face value? Is the faith reposed in high-ceiling Zac Crawley misplaced? Will the England captain roll his arm over? The lack ther...

A bit of pop up podcast this one. But when the Bear and I had the chance to grab Mpho @MphoMoreki and Tim the Cricket Guy @Tim32_cricket it was just too good an opportunity to miss to chat over the South Africa vs England ODI series.    Even with England missing a few regulars, at the start of a World Cup year, this series undoubtedly meant something to both sides. England, woefully out of ODI for...

In a hilarious show that again goes down to the wire the...

Zafar Gill was a Pakistan Test player who scored three ducks in his first two appearances and three fifties in his next two. Or a magician apparently capable of moving heavy trucks metres with just the power of his mind. The only way to find out, apart from rushing to Google right now, is to listen to the third edition of the most fiendish test of cricket knowledge in existence, where contestants...
