The Cricket Slouch
A fun cricket podcast by a group of friends, who worship at the altar of the 22-yard strip bookended by 3 sticks. We love to talk cricket, have a laugh, include new people, express some polarising opinions (perhaps) and hope to help spread the word of the sport to far reaching corners. We try to keep it as kosher as we can, but there may be a few expletives every now and then. Huge thanks to Noman W and Umangi H for the brilliant podcast cover art. Tune composed using Garage Band and limited imagination.

Episode 1
Welcome to the 1st episode of Season 3.
Today we have a slightly different topic of conversation, one that took roots a while ago when Dan Weston and I started contemplating this discussion. Dan Weston has previously worked with Kings XI Punjab, Leicester and B’ham Phoenix, and comes with a noted reputation in cricket as a highly valued analyst and strategist.
Today he talks about what goes into the making of a champion team - the building blocks of the team, the players, the analyst, the support staff , the culture and the how to ensure the legacy across subsequent years.
