We are back in the Eden park studio with our regularly scheduled programming and this week Jimmy Neesham and Kyle Mills talk stand in captaincy, pausing bowlers and trying to get into the IPL.

The conversation covers domestic and international cricket, the realities of the IPL auction system, and why the PSL is becoming an increasingly attractive option for players. The episode also tackles Auckland Cricket’s move away from Eden Park and what it means for the future of the game in New Zealand.

Insightful, honest and full of humour, Episode 26 blends elite-level experience with classic cricket banter.

This week the pod gets taken over by two recognisable faces for Kiwis sitting in their living room.

TV Presenters Sonia Gray (Mind Menders, Lotto, Wheel of Fortune) and Matt Gibb (Breakfast TV, Find my Country house, Squirt) are known to New Zealanders from making literally hours and hours of tele but, when they aren’t doing that, they are usually glued to the cricket.

Join them as they go through their own (modest) playing careers, their run ins with actual, real life cricketers and what they would change about our beloved game.
