Cider Press - A Somerset Cricket Podcast

A podcast covering all things Somerset cricket ... or at least as much of it as we can fit into our respective daily lives! The plan is that the show will evolve over time (a bit like Cider Press's written output). We want to perfect our forward defence before we turn to the ramp shot.

    The middle name game with Jack Leach and Dani Gibson

    Charlie and Sam are back for another season. No new logo (yet). No new theme music (yet). But a new format. It is a cricket podcast but only sort of as you know it. All this summer Charlie and Sam will be bringing you the stories around Somerset cricket. Yes, matters on the field will be covered. But we want to get to know the players, the personalities, the bits that may not otherwise be shouted about. Plus the hope is that we will have a little fun along the way. And we start with a bang - not one but two Somerset stars who also happen to play for England. Yes we have Jack Leach and Dani Gibson join the show. You're welcome. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Dickson's Dreams

    A shot at Trent Bridge glory awaits on Sunday. And so who better for Cider Press to speak to than Somerset’s List A skipper Sean Dickson? As well as previewing the Glamorgan clash, Sean also reflects on an eventful couple of years plying his trade at Taunton, and gives supporters some insight into his cricketing mindset.

    The Need for Smeed

    With Somerset’s Blast quarter-final round the corner, Will Smeed is fit again and will be looking to slot into the opening berth he vacated after a hamstring injury earlier this summer. Having struck the the first century ever scored in The Hundred in 2022, Smeed’s reputation at the top of the order has garnered the interest of franchises around the world. The 22-year-old batter took the time to talk to Sam Dalling.

    Durham's Nut Allergy

    What a victory for Somerset, powered by local boys Tom Abell and Jack Leach. The former made (yet another) majestic century, while the latter picked up 12 wickets. Maximum points secured with Surrey to come next week. Can you taste the title yet?! Somerset's trip to Northants in the Blast QF on Thursday is previewed, while we spend some time reflecting on the success of Western Storm. Charlie Taylor hosts Sam Dalling and Sophie Luff.

    A Result That Suits Neither Side

    It was back to red-ball cricket just as the weather gets good…?! Relive a mostly scratchy draw for Somerset who took on Warwickshire as the County Championship campaign resumes, one lit up by the performances of Messrs. Aldridge, Leach and Rew. There’s a discussion of the loan system as most of Taunton's population is offloaded to far-flung corners of the country for a game or two at least. And the look-ahead to Durham’s long journey down to the West Country later this week is not to be missed! Joining Sam Dalling and Harry Everett for the show once again was one of the best known voices in county cricket (and a massive Bears fan). Aaron Viles - AKA the Cricket Connoisseur - is the founder and host of the brilliant County Cricket podcast. What do you mean you haven’t listened? No, but seriously, if you haven’t, you really need to. Check out the show on Podbean, Apple Podcasts and all the usual spots. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Nowt More Precious Than Gold(sworthy)

    What a victory that was! A victory for Somerset and a place in the One-Day Cup Final at Trent Bridge in September. But also a victory for cricket. We love this tournament and Sunday at Taunton brought out the very best in everyone. Not just the runs, the wickets, the tension. But also the supporters, the relationships, the harmony. Yes, the Leicestershire fans (who were brilliant) and players left disappointed. But a much wider battle was won. Days like these count, they really do. Naturally, this week’s podcast focuses on that game. But we also touch on the England Lions before looking ahead to the County Championship’s return. Yes, folks, it’s back. Somerset head to Edgbaston on Thursday. Can they push for the title? (spoiler: yes). Joining Sam and Harry for the show was one of the best known voices in county cricket (and a massive Bears fan).
