Inside The Tour
The inside story of the most triumphant tours in sporting history. Season 2 returns this December as a box set, following the England cricket team on their astonishing 1986/87 series. A tour hugely significant for both nations – after this, England wouldn’t win the Ashes again for 18 years. The embarrassing defeat sent Allan Border’s Australia to rock bottom and yet, somehow, they recovered to become a cricket superpower. This is the story of that incredible journey, told by players from both teams plus host Mark Pougatch, who was a backpacking 18-year-old in Australia at the time. His diary brings to life an incredible story of unknown call-ups, unlikely heroes, and a result that shocked the sporting world. In series 1, presenter Alastair Eykyn took us back to the legendary British and Irish Lions rugby tour in South Africa, 1997. With few giving them a chance, a disparate group of characters bonded into a band of brothers that upset the reigning world champions. This is Inside The Tour – giving you the inside story, told by those who were there.

A superb listen

This brought back happy memories of listening to the final session of each day for these test matches on a crackling radio first thing in the morning before trying to watch the highlights on TV that evening. I vividly remember watching Lamb score those 18 runs to win the one day match…what a moment. A fabulous podcast sharing great insights. Well worth a listen. Cheers
Amazing Story

This is an amazing story from the people who these days are quite literally legends of the game. There will never be sports tours quite like that again! As much batting as boozing
They’re back!

Season 1 was such a fantastic series, I didn’t think they’d be able to top it! But what a great lineup, great tour, and great cast they’ve got for series 2! Bring on the ashes 86!
Underwhelmed

The background music is annoying to the point where I couldn’t concentrate on what was being said. Subject matter is fantastic but I was underwhelmed by the whole thing and Pougatch is on a ego trip
