Episode 44 - Watch The Thing And Hit The Thing
On the hottest day ever, Oli finally decides to bat and field properly as the boys bring home back-to-back Middlesex Cups. With outstanding support from Owyn, Ealing fight to a big win against Acton and their entire club who came out to support. The Big Dog makes a decision, and a final Word of the Week from AJ sees the last game of the season out in winning form.
Episode 43 - Any Advice On How You Come Back From Retirement?
The man, the myth, the legend - David Holt. Mungo and Leigh do their best on the chaotic final night of the league as they reflect on Holty’s outstanding 26-year career. The 2s smash 3 from 3 with the old guard saluting Holty and his remaining injury free body parts; the 3s discuss how many of them are actually 2s players and reveal a pod exclusive; and Kristian and his new Kiwi friend Lily look ahead to the Middlesex Cup final as the Ealing Cricketer farewells the season and our overseas players in fine fashion.
Episode 42 - Like a Greek God If He Was Turkish
The penultimate weekend of the league sees an Aussie run out the ECC Pro......again; some Ruaridh and Owyn runs (finally) to save the 2s; and the 3s captain finally back in the team.....but not as captain. Multiple Word of the Weekends sum up a long Saturday as Oli marvels over Henry’s hairy knees.
Episode 41: Out the Gates Like A Fat Usain Bolt
Time difference confusion between Cambridge and South Africa can only mean one thing - another double header weekend at ECC. The Ealing Cricketer witnesses not only the return of jet-lagged Leigh, but a certain Andy Laws rising from the dead and the 3s loyalty to their club is debated as they witness a Harjot red-inker century from the sidelines.
