Ten Hag Hooked & England In A Spin - Ep.12

Sackings and spin. It's been a busy week. We sink our teeth into the news that the Manchester United manager, Eric ten Hag, has been sacked, which means one of our predictions has come true! Well done Jon... We also discuss the state of flux England found themselves in at the end of the Pakistan series thanks to two spin bowlers whose names we can't remember. Ash levels our expectations for the new white ball series too. Ash also gives us an update on how things are looking in the West Cornwall Premier League.

It's Tuchel Time - Ep.11

We're back! Thomas Tuchel is the new England manager and we breakdown the important questions, such as, "will he sing the national anthem?" And is our anthem, to quote Tuchel, "moving?" We look at England's encounter with Pakistan in the cricket and try to work out who Ben Stokes would be if he were a footballer. Alfie also gives Ben a great breakdown on what a flat pitch is. It's just that... Flat. We round up the episode by returning to the Premier League and checking in on our FPL teams.

Bazball Vs Carsball! - Ep.10

It's the end of the Summer and we've had an international break! We chat about our class trip to the cricket to see England and Sri Lanka battle the English weather, which leads us to ponder the state of test cricket and if everything is about the Ashes. Meanwhile, in the football, we ask ourselves if we should be excited by "Carsball" or should England be beating the ROI and Finland anyway? We also discuss how we'd celebrate if we scored against our old team. Finally, Ash shares his hopes for the upcoming West Cornwall Premier League Table Tennis season.
