Caribbean Cricket Podcast

Episode 65 is here! Nearly six months since we did the last mailbag episode it was time to let you the supporters of the Caribbean Cricket Podcast guide this episode. You sent us the questions and we answered them for you. As ever everything and anything was in the mailbag and we answered the best of the questions. When is the West Indies A team returning? Does Tagenarine Chanderpaul deserve a test call up? Why cant West Indies secure regular sponsorship? Can CWI market the domestic game better? And so much more.

Episode 64 is here! You know that the Caribbean Cricket Podcast loves to talk cricket administration and look at the intricacies of how the game is run in the region. With that in mind it was a no brainer to get the Windward Islands cricket board President and Cricket West Indies Vice President on the show. It's none other than Dr Kishore Shallow. If understanding the nuances of how our game is run is important to you then this episode is a must listen. We'll definitely be getting Dr Shallow on for a part 2 to this discussion.

Dre Russ and Pooran have joined TKR in a power move that has sent shockwaves around the CPL. Dinesh 'Dino' Mahabir (@cricdino) came through to the Caribbean Cricket Podcast studios to discuss the local retentions and signings for this years edition. Has it left more questions than answers?

Episode 63 is here! There cant be a test series without a test series review show. George Dobell (The Cricketer) joined us one last time to look over a test series that was low in quality but ultimately high in grit and determination (for the West Indies). The English press and fans will rightly seek answers for what has once again been a very disappointing series - who and what is to blame? What was the point of declaring a public reset, what did it really achieve? For the West Indies, we have every right to rejoice. Phil Simmons will see this as vindication that fans should trust the process but who dares argue that the proverbial corner has been turned?

Episode 62 is here! This was actually recorded in between the second and third test of England's tour of the West Indies but we waited until after the fantastic series win to drop it. We touch on the West Indies vs England series a bit but this was more of a timeless episode looking at Michael Atherton's unique connection to the Caribbean. In terms of deep thinkers on the world game they dont come much more celebrated than Athers and this episode is no different. No spoilers from us just listen and take it all in.

Episode 61 is here! Two test matches - two flat pitches - two tiresome draws. George Dobell joined us from Grenada to discuss the contentious pitch preparation in Barbados and the positives either side can take going forward. Is it law of diminishing returns if the local associations continue to defy CWI and produce wickets that dont engage the public? Do you agree with our suggestions for changes for the Grenada test?

Episode 60 is here! The first test may have ended in a tedious draw but that didnt stop us getting George Dobell back in the studio to analyse it all. Who were the winners and losers? What should we expect in Barbados? Would you make any changes? George may or may not have been kidnapped by the Barmy Army in the course of this recording.

Episode 59 is here! It may still not be part of the wider lexicon but test series matter in more ways than one due to the existence of the World Test Championship. Every win counts and no more so than when the two teams doing battle occupy 8th and 9th respectively. England are in the midst of an existential crisis and West Indies are trying to turn their umpteenth corner. With that being said it made sense to talk with one of English cricket's best journalists. As part of our collaboration with the Cricketer we teamed up with George Dobell to unpick what is likely to be a thrilling series. Dare we say that West Indies might be slight favourites or will it simply boil down to which sides top 6 can actually stand up to scrutiny?

Episode 58 is here! Riots, diplomatic incidents, bottles flinging, umpires beaten up, insular cuss outs...you really couldnt write a script this good. In 1953/4 Len Hutton's England side toured the Caribbean in a series widely regarded as one of the most controversial in cricket history. Yet until now no-one has written a comprehensive book on the series. Author David Woodhouse came to the CCP studios to dissect the series and talk through the tour with more of a Caribbean angle. You know that at the Caribbean Cricket Podcast we are big on West Indies cricket beyond the boundary and this talk/book is a political, social, cultural and economic tour de force.

There is the small matter of a World Cup on the horizon with our #MaroonWarriors going into battle on the opening day vs New Zealand.

How quickly things change. From the high of a 3-2 series win over England to the 'low' of a 3-0 defeat to India. 17 West Indians are in the IPL this year but the West Indies mens T20 side remains a work in progress as we build toward the 2022 World Cup. We collaborated once again with the #1 Indian cricket podcast The Edges and Sledges Podcast to review all the key talking points.

Episode 57 is here! From the nadir of a 1-2 series defeat against Ireland to the euphoria of a 3-2 series win vs England. We recorded a special LIVE podcast with you the CCP community sending in your live reactions and questions. The Cricket Connoisseur (Aaron Viles) from The County Cricket Podcast (@TheCountyCrick2) returned to look at The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from the see-saw series.

ODI Super league points are on the agenda. Following the shock 2-1 series defeat to Ireland and yet more dropped Super league points this series takes on added significance for the West Indies. Can they get anything out of the tour to India? On the flipside fresh off a rousing 3-2 T20 series win vs England the shortest format looks like it has the foundation from which to start a resurgence. Can they keep it going vs the Indians?

Episode 56 is here! With the announcement that Desmond Haynes and Ronnie Sarwan will be the next West Indies selectors - it made sense to get one of the most recent selectors on to talk the art of cricket selection. Our guest for this episode was non-other than Miles Bascombe. The former West Indies international has had an eventful 2 years as a WI selector and is well placed to assess selection processes in the region. This wasnt so much about what did or didnt go right for the West Indies selectors but more how a selection process works and cricket administration itself. Call it an insight into aspects of cricket that fans have so much to say but quite possibly have little to no understanding.

"We're rebuilding from ground zero" - Kieron Pollard. The Golden generation have said goodbye and there are 10 months to go until the 2022 T20 World Cup. Make no mistake the race is on to get the West Indies up and running with the new blood. It doesn't start much harder than facing powerhouse England. Yes they may be in the midst of an existential crisis but that's in the test cricket only. The Cricket Connoisseur (Aaron Viles) from the The County Cricket Podcast joined us to run the rule over both sides. This episode was more than just a guide to the five match series this was about looking at the next 10 months as well.

We promised that one thing we would bring to the table in 2022 is far more West Indies Women's content. The Women's World Cup is nigh with the first game less than two months away and it hasn't been an easy prep for the Maroon Warriors with their game and prep time heavily affected by the pandemic. With recent news breaking that West Indies Women will travel to South Africa to play 4 ODI games prior to the World Cup, head coach Courtney Walsh joined us to discuss where the team is at, the obstacles the team has faced and what targets he is setting moving forward.

Episode 54 is here! Hot on the heels of the announcement that USA cricket and CWI are to be joint hosts of the 2024 T20 World Cup it made sense to jump across the pond and look at the growth of the game in the States. It hasnt escaped our attention that more and more Caribbean talent are earning a living by playing in US leagues - plenty were involved in the 2021 minor league tournament. Therefore it made sense to sit down with Tom Dunmore, Vice President for Marketing (Major League Cricket), and dissect the future of the game in the States and how Major and Minor League cricket represents not only an opportunity for US cricket but WI cricket also.

Episode 52 is here! The thing West Indies fans do best is cuss about everyone and everything and more often than not look for simple answers to complex questions. There is no doubt that West Indian red ball batsmanship has been on the decline in the region for the best part of 5 years. A test side that has shown middling consistency has had to slowly rebuild the batting blocks in order to compete. In that regard it was an absolute no brainer to get West Indies batting coach Monty Desai on the podcast to talk batting fundamentals.

Episode 51 is here! Unbeknownst to some both Santokie and Machel are die-hard wrestling fans as well as West Indies aficionados. Therefore it was only a matter of time before the Caribbean Cricket Podcast conceived a podcast episode that married the two themes. Joined by comedian/TMS commentator Aatif Nawaz and celebrated cricket journalist/author Bharat Sundaresan - we participated in a cricket Royal Rumble of sorts. Going through the 12 teams at the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup we duked it out to determine which wrestler past or present the teams most resemble.

Episode 50 is here! Who would have thought we would reach 50 episodes when we created this two years ago. CPL 2021 has come to an end and it made sense to get a past winner on to talk to us about how you build a winning franchise. Mohammed Ali Khan, former winning GM of the Jamaica Tallawahs, joined us to look at why that franchise won in 2016 and the key lessons to learn from CPL 2021.

Episode 37 is here! We invited Andrew Fidel Fernando the Sri Lanka correspondent for ESPNcricinfo into the studio to discuss all things Sri Lanka. Ahead of the all format series between West Indies and Sri Lanka it was important to get the real lowdown on the chaotic Lankans. It is rare that West Indies go into a series against higher ranked opposition as 'favourites' but given the state Sri Lanka enter this tour - this represents a genuine chance for the men in maroon. Andrew and ourselves got stuck into the likelihood of it all. If you are listening on a platform where you can leave a review/rating - please do as it helps grow the podcast.
