Reverse Swept Radio - A Cricket Podcast

THE TEN MINUTE FORTNIGHT: Listening to the Aus SA series from an English winter, and re-learning cricket's self-control "When you're watching cricket, you can swear at the umpire as much as you like. But when you're on the pitch, you have to switch to see the umpire in a very different way." FROM THE ARCHIVES (11'00): "An innings played with one eye and one leg" - The Nawab of Pataudi's 75  "As well as having double vision from childhood, he's nursing an injury from the first test - he comes in with a runner and can't play front-foot shots." THE REVIEW (21'50): Ben Stokes: Phoenix from the Ashes (Amazon Prime, 2022)  "I don't want to labour this point (while slightly labouring this point), but you need to enter into the experience of watching a documentary like this with the understanding that a deal has been struck: access has been traded for a certain narrative."
