Ahead of the Eight Ball Dave and Mick Tickner

Dave and Mick are joined by Peter Miller aka The Cricket Geek as we go deep into why cricket isn't turning into baseball because both sports have always been very similar. We talk fastball, pitch runners and bunts. Pete namedrops and Mick does an impression. Standard stuff.

We do talk about the topic but also about Brian Lara being great, Ben Duckett's bat's axis of abscissa and Steve Smith (Dave is still rattled).

We sort of talk about cricket and how politicians use it for their lazy references. Loads of World Cup chat, stare out champinships and the new feature CBWP (Cricketers Bad Wikipedia Photos). CBWP #1 - Damien Martyn.

Dave's rattled. #Ulon

A slightly different episode in which Dave is let loose to rant for an extended period of time about why England and Australia are both just dreadful whinging hypocrites.
Send your appeals to the Dave Review System to @aheadofthe8 on Twitter.

We have nudged and nurdled our way slowly to double figures. In this episode we introduce the DRS (the Dave Review System) and we discuss how test cricket might actually be dying. Test cricket is dead, long live test cricket.
