The title is woefully inadequate for the task at hand - but we had to call it something, and it's hard to spell a wordless scream. Anti-racism is not something to parcel into a pod-sized package and not think about again, and it's in that spirit that host Nakul Pande and Machel St Patrick Hewitt take to the mics. Nakul and Machel share their personal experiences of being cricket fans of colour, discuss the international resonance of the uprising against a living legacy of state-sanctioned racist violence in America, and ask questions of experts in the policy and representational aspects of anti-racism work in cricket: ANUJAYA KRISHNA: A scholar and practitioner of sports law who talks to us about her critical analysis of the ICC's Anti-Racism Policy and Conciliation Process: what it does and doesn't address, and how it's implemented. GULFRAZ RIAZ: Chair of the National Asian Cricket Council, who advise the ECB on South Asian inclusion and representation, and founder of the African Caribbean Cricket Association. We also read an excerpt of a powerful call to international consciousness from cricket administrator, scholar & activist Professor Hilary Beckles. We #SayTheirNames. We remember. And we believe #BlackLivesMatter. Produced and edited by Jon Stone. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Diligent research and evocative story telling combine to make this book a truly compelling read”. Praise indeed for ‘Wizards’ and its author Anindya Dutta, from none other than Kapil Dev. In this episode of Guerillashire, Tony Bishop and Anindya discuss the mystical, twirling, whirling, floating, ripping, gripping world of Indian spin bowling. No other skill has contributed more to India’s cricket – and arguably, spin bowling is what drove its race to the top. The story of Indian spin bowling goes as far back as the turn of the twentieth century. ‘Wizards’ covers no less than 74 Indian spinners, from Palwankar Baloo, though the genius of Subhash Gupte, Vinoo Mankad and Ghulam Ahmed, through the fabled spin quartet of Bedi, Prasanna, Chandra and Venkat, onto Kumble, Harbhajan and Ashwin and right up to Chahal and Kuldeep. Anindya picks two historical quartets to take on the current England side home and away. Listen to hear who they are – and who doesn’t quite make it. Most importantly let us know your selections!

In the first of an occasional series, this week we're going back in time to where it all began for some of our most loved and most interesting Guerillas. When did they first watch and play the game? Who were their first cricketing heroes? How did they get the cricket bug? Were they bitten by a radioactive Peter Such? Host Nakul Pande breaks off from mythologising Lance Klusener long enough to hear tales of reluctant Antipodean touring teams, a grandfather's child-quietening tactics spectacularly backfiring and facing down Cameroon fast bowlers on a tricky pitch from: Former meerkatologist, current statistician and forever Paul Collingwood stan Dr Katy Scott Al-fresco scorer and intrepid worldwide cricket coach Jules Farman Millinery connoisseur and cricket's most devoted Jamaican-Irish Hampshire fan Roger McCann Our editor as ever was Jon Stone.

It's not all about the big money and the big names. The COVID-19 cricket shutdown has repercussions at all levels of the game, including where the budgets are tight even at the best of times - and in case you'd not been paying attention, these really are not the best of times. To tell us about the challenges faced by smaller boards, what's being done to deal with them, and what the ICC are doing to help (spoiler alert: actually something!), host Nakul Pande got a crack crew together: Warren Deutrom, CEO of Cricket Ireland Tim Cutler, co-founder of EmergingCricket.com and former CEO of Cricket Hong Kong Guerilla regular Machel St Patrick Hewitt, co-host of the Caribbean Cricket Podcast We also hear a submission from Raf Nicholson, co-founder and editor of leading women's cricket website CricketHer, outlining the specific issues facing the women's game in the time of COVID.

The shutdown of cricket around the world is both a huge blow and a huge opportunity - we have the space to reflect on why we love cricket so and why it's not an exaggeration to say we need it. So this week we're looking at the game's impact on mental health, mental health's role in playing and watching cricket at all levels, and how the COVID-19 pandemic affects that symbiotic relationship. Host Nakul Pande reached out across three continents to assemble a panel to tackle these most important of questions: IN THE UK Martin Cropper, Personal Development Manager at the Professional Cricketers' Association Mark Boyns, founder of suicide prevention and mental health non-profit Opening Up Cricket IN INDIA Ankit Mishra, co-founder and editor of our long-standing partners CricTracker IN AUSTRALIA And, be still our beating nerdy hearts, Rob Moody, prolific curator of the Robelinda Youtube channel You can find a list of mental health hotlines, helplines and resources here - and as Nakul says on the show, if you want to talk, we want to listen.

Cricket is dead, long live the Guerilla Cricket Podcast! Host Nakul Pande and guests Tony Bishop and Tim Part are locked-down and loaded to reckon with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on this cricketing year. We ask: Will there be cricket in 2020, and who makes that call? SHOULD there be cricket in 2020, and does it even matter? Should the Hundred be postponed? The need for creativity and connection is greater than ever, and we hope we address that need over the course of this pod. In that spirit we'll be podding every week throughout the COVID cricket crisis, and if you want to get those pods BEFORE ANYONE ELSE you can at patreon.com/guerillacricket.

In his inimitable way (that we all enjoy imitatating), Gary picks players he has actually seen play in his life time, but never fear, together we explore Lancashire’s finest from John Abrahams to Zahir Khan. Archie MacLaren and Reggie Spooner rub shoulders with Clive Lloyd, James Anderson and Brian Statham amongst others.

Neville Cardus’ two great passions were music and cricket. He described how one majestic stroke maker ‘made music’ and ‘spread beauty’ with his bat. Between the two wars, he became the laureate of cricket by doing the same with words. In this latest Guerillashire, Tony Bishop interviews multi award winning author Duncan Hamilton, who in ‘The Great Romantic’, casts a new light on the enigmatic Cardus and demonstrates how he changed spots journalism for ever. Along with Annie Chave, the discussion also covers Hamilton’s life and work, including ‘Kings of Summer’ a treasure of a book that takes us back to the final game of the glorious 2016 County Cricket season, when Middlesex met Yorkshire at Lords, Somerset waiting in the wings should the match end in a draw. Through Duncan’s Hamilton, the spirit of Neville Cardus is ever present. Thanks to Jeff Perkins for the theme tune and jingles and to Jon Stone for editing and production support.

In the first Guerilla Cricket Podcast of 2020, we have some big questions to answer. In matters purely of willow and leather, there's the vexed issue of mandatory 4 day Tests, and a South Africa v England Test series heading into its 3rd Test finely poised. But we don't have the luxury of keeping it inside the boundary - with the Proteas' commitment to transforming what was for so long an all-white cricketing culture under question, host Nakul Pande and (live from Port Elizabeth) Daniel Gallan work out what's gone wrong and how it might be put right.

“What is more frightening? Facing the quickest bowler in the world in front of 30,000 people or walking into a crack den in South Central Los Angeles?” That’s just one of the questions host @tonybishop1 discussed at Edgbaston with Paul Smith, hero of @WarwickshireCCC 1994 treble winners. The latest Guerillashire Podcast from @guerillacricket is here! Paul was part of the all - conquering Warwickshire side of the 1990s under Bob Woolmer. However, he also holds the US Certificate of Appreciation for his ground breaking work using cricket as a force for good with gangs in the most notorious areas of Los Angeles. He advises the Princes Trust, is a motivational speaker, broadcaster and a published author whose book ‘Wasted’ was described by one reviewer thus..“Not so much a kiss-and-tell, as kiss, have casual sex, get stoned, drunk, divorced, unemployed, homeless, penniless and tell.” Thanks to Jeff Perkins for the theme tune and jingles and to Jon Stone for editing and production support.

Five T20Is, two Tests and one month later, what did we learn? Host Nakul Pande and guest Tasneem-Summer Sadiq Khan pore over the footage and hit the scorebooks to find out. We get excited about England's T20 new boys, puzzle over the non-selection of Ben Foakes and lament the poor Test pitches. And as ever when we go beyond the on-field action, Tas is fascinating when we talk about the racial abuse aimed at Jofra Archer and the continued unease over Scott Kuggeleijn's place in the BlackCaps setup.

Are you an amateur cryer? No, these are Proteas...pro...tears...ahem. South Africa were in India, and it wasn't pretty - the bowling was toothless, the batting impermanent, and captain Faf du Plessis looks exhausted (but very, very handsome). Host Nakul Pande called up Simon Gear and Mpho Mutloane from our colleagues Guerilla Cricket South Africa to work out what happened, why, and what to do about it.

You might want to plan aural consumption of the Guerillashire 2019 season review around a break for lunch or tea. Tony Bishop marshals the expertise and occasional loquaciousness of Gary Naylor, Julia Farman and David Brook as from Essex to Leicestershire they investigate, cogitate, celebrate or commiserate over the 2019 fortunes and 2020 prospects for all our 18 wonderful counties. This is not a 100 - ball thrash, it’s a proper look back at cricket’s summer of love from a county perspective. But what of next season? You can’t look forward to that and ignore the fact that a fourth format will insert itself noisily into the game’s landscape. After your lunch or tea time picnic you can hear our team debate the potential impact of The Hundred on the game we love and support.

Live from the echo chamber! Literally - sorry for the less than optimal sound quality, hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of an in-depth exploration of some of cricket's most fundamental questions: What is the perfect relationship between captain and coach? What is technique, and what is it really for? Which New Zealand all-rounder played his entire career and beyond with significant hearing loss? Host Nakul Pande and guests Nigel Henderson and Tim Part to discuss these weighty matters, under the guise of talking about England's appointment of Chris Silverwood as head coach and the India v South Africa Tests.

Welcome to the latest Guerillashire which comes to you in two halves. Despite the rain, the climax of the county season so nearly provided a show worthy of bringing down the curtain on cricket’s magnificent summer. In part 1 Tony Bishop, assisted by Annie Chave, Tasneem-Summer Khan and Paul Howarth celebrate a triumphant double win for champions Essex and commiserate with the perennial nearly men of Somerset. The bones are well and truly picked over where the title was won and lost! In the second half, as the days get shorter, and the early morning air crisper and colder, the world of county cricket continues to warm us as we focus on Hampshire and champions Essex. Host Tony guides the discussion as Ian Pearce and Tas select their all time England teams from each county. Ian plays a straight bat for Hampshire as the likes of Phil Mead and Derek Shackleton cross the white line with all time greats like Robin Smith and David Gower. Tas throws away the rule book and provides a more modern all time Essex eleven that may well delight or bemuse Essex fans in equal measure.

We’re baaaack! The Guerilla Cricket Podcast rides again, with posse leader Nakul Pande joined by steely-eyed gaucho Tony Bishop and rhinestone cowboy Real Fred. Three simultaneous Test matches in Colombo, Antigua and Leeds to discuss, and three-year overnight success Jofra Archer - but we devote much of our attention to the frightening blow and subsequent concussion suffered by Steve Smith last week, why it matters, the positive strides cricket has made in taking concussion seriously and the further necessary steps it has yet to take.

No rest for the cricket! Less than a week away from Ireland's historic first Test at Lord's against an England team with none of the world champion ODI squad's swagger, host Nakul Pande spoke to resident Ireland expert and true child of Mother Cricket Roger McCann about the chances of the boys in green. We dive deep into the selected squads; we look forward to a new generation of Ireland cricketers; and we salivate at the prospect of Tim 'Lambeth Lara' Murtagh bowling to Jason 'I'm Not Angry, That's Just My Face' Roy in a Test match.

Seventh heaven! It's the GC World Cup wrap-up - expedition leader Nakul Pande takes fellow travelers Nigel 'Hendo' Henderson and Paul 'Grubby' Howarth on a journey through the six-week, 48-game, not-enough-team extravaganza of cricket that's taken over our lives - and of course, that utterly bonkers final. Featuring our team of the tournament; an awed respect for the power of luck; and why it's not patronising to say no-one lost the final. We bloody love New Zealand and all who sail in her.

You sixy thing! New Zealand squeaked past India, England smashed Australia, and Jason Roy had better become very friendly with the match referee very soon - host Nakul Pande is joined by Jeremy Henderson and Gary Naylor to pick the bones out of two very different semi-finals. Featuring Rashid rhapsodies, the wonder of Williamson, and the joy of Jadeja, and direct hits for days. We talk about New Zealand so much we almost forget to talk about India - take that, superpower! PS: Shortly after we finished recording, it was confirmed that Jason Roy WILL be available for the final. The fact that we had three different answers for who should open in his place tells you how big that is... Get the pod before anyone else at patreon.com/guerillacricket!
