Beskrivelse

The season is back and The Clean Take is back with it. In Episode 6, Wizard and Fish return for the first episode of the 2025 season, and things kick off with a bang. Their two clubs went head-to-head on Saturday, and there's already drama — Wizard skipped the game for a trip to the Lakes, came back to a fine, and isn't entirely sorry about it. Fish, meanwhile, was being subbed off the gloves after 20 overs and banished to long-on in April mud. Then the debate gets serious. Are cricket teas dying? Fish thinks so — and he's got plenty to say about it. From COVID quietly killing off the tradition to leagues refusing to enforce it, they go deep on why the proper post-match spread matters and who's to blame for its decline. Plus, Wizard and Fish each share their personal targets for the 2025 season — the kind of honest, cricketer-to-cricketer chat you don't get anywhere else. Expect fines, excuses, passionate rants, and the usual club cricket chaos. Welcome back.
