The Yellow Ball Podcast Bridge Media

Welcome back for season 2 of the Yellow Ball Podcast! With the coronavirus pandemic taking the wind out of everyone's sails, episode 1 focuses on the impacts of this unprecedented event.

Stephen Mogg and Mark Divin are both business owners with skin in the game, who have been heavily affected by the coronavirus shutdowns. Mark Divin owns and operates The Cricket Hub in Tasmania, which not only hosts indoor cricket but provides coaching and training for both indoor and outdoor cricketers. Stephen Mogg has been a Queensland Masters player for around 10 years, is a coach and owns four indoor sports centres.

They joined Gary Lowe for a chat about the impacts that the shutdowns have had on their businesses, and how the indoor cricket community can support centres as restrictions ease.
