Cricket podcasts – why they’re better than real life
- You only have to talk about cricket, meaning you can’t be exposed as the one-dimensional freak who’s lost touch with the wider world that really are
- Whenever you say something stupid or your brain comes to a grinding halt, Andy Zaltzman takes those bits out
Listen to the latest episode of Andy Zaltzman’s World Cricket Podcast to hear us talking about Darren Gough ‘gesturing’ at the crowd as well as the potential for sponsored comfort breaks.
Andy himself tells us on what basis he’s settled on the Deccan Chargers as his IPL team (it’s to do with the second part of their name).

At a Surrey v Yorkshire game, shortly before Goughie’s move down south. Our hero is fielding on the boundary.
Spectator: “Here, Goughie, when are you going to be moving down south then, you big tart” or words to that effect x3
Goughie: “If you don’t shut up I’m going to punch your teeth down your throat. Don’t think I won’t, I’ve done it before”.
Small child to spectator: “Mr, mr what are you going to say to him next!”
He was probably a bit touchy about suggestions he was going to become a southerner.
I see poor Watto has had a recurrence of the old hypochondria. Hope he gets well soon.
