Reverse Swept Radio - a cricket podcast
Sports:Cricket
THE TEN MINUTE FORTNIGHT: watching baseball, and Bangladesh host Sri Lanka
"The first pitch of the game was sent straight into the stands for a home run. That raised my and my wife's sense of what normal drama would be in baseball. It turned out to be very rare."
FROM THE ARCHIVES (12'00): Andrew Symonds at the 2003 World Cup
"There must be a psychological credit to Symonds: you come in knowing that if you don't score there's the next player waiting, and scoring under those circumstances is difficult."
THE REVIEW (22'40): The Test by Nathan Leamon
"Cricket is lacking in fiction compared to other sports, and this is a rare attempt to take on top level cricket in fiction - and it's done really well."
