Ben Hurley has finally made it to Lord’s... not by buying a ticket, obviously, but by somehow convincing people he is a legitimate member of the cricket media.

This episode comes straight from the Home of Cricket during England v New Zealand, with Ben roaming around Lord’s finding Kiwis in every corner of the ground.

There’s Lou Vincent handing out spare tickets, Katey Martin giving proper cricket insight and elite scone analysis, Zac Foulkes talking drinks duties and Nathan Smith’s Honours Board moment, Will Somerville in a blazer fit for the Long Room, and Meg Lay from the Lord’s ground staff explaining how a South Canterbury farmer ended up preparing pitches at the most famous cricket ground in the world.

Also discussed: champagne at Lord’s, 16 wickets in a day, the famous slope, Matt Henry sleeping on the floor and a hot dog that may require a small mortgage.

Ben Hurley is joined by Kyle Mills and Jimmy Neesham for another cracking yarn across the cricketing universe, from Virat Kohli’s handshake antics and Travis Head winding up half a nation, to New Zealand’s Test against Ireland, the White Ferns’ T20 fortunes, and whether the “spirit of cricket” is actually a thing… or just a very polite argument waiting to happen.

Plus, Jimmy gets put through Six of the Best, classic cricket chat, a few rogue theories, and plenty of laughs.

Hamish Rutherford

You might think Hamish Rutherford’s career was heavily influenced by his father who captained the national side but the reality is, Hamish had to fall in love with the game himself, and that he did. After one of the greatest Test Debut’s anyone could ask for, “Rudds” embarked on a rich and varied career that some might describe as truly unique

This week the pod gets taken over by two recognisable faces for Kiwis sitting in their living room.

TV Presenters Sonia Gray (Mind Menders, Lotto, Wheel of Fortune) and Matt Gibb (Breakfast TV, Find my Country house, Squirt) are known to New Zealanders from making literally hours and hours of tele but, when they aren’t doing that, they are usually glued to the cricket.

Join them as they go through their own (modest) playing careers, their run ins with actual, real life cricketers and what they would change about our beloved game.
