    Lies, damned lies and statistics (part 1)

    New year, new season, same old tough love for cricket; Tim Part and Andrew Mizner return to discuss the latest cricket news.
    To start the year, your hosts discuss goings-on in Australia. How bad is Tim Paine's sledging? Is Steve Smith a scuffing idiot?
    Then the ICC's Test team of the decade gets the treatment as the TBW supercomputer whirrs into action again. What if no minimum Test criteria were applied? And, if not a Broken Wicket experimental EDM side project, what exactly is The Voges Method...?

    Cricketmas 2020

    Even sub-par years deserve a round up. Tim Part and Andrew Mizner return to chew the cud on 2020.
    After digging into India's 36 run shocker and contemplating what they would put on Lord's new Father Time Wall, your hosts take a look back at a unique year, offering up some highlights and lowlights, plus handing out some team and individual TBW gongs.
    It's also time for the by-now-traditional TBW Cricketmas Quiz. Six questions each, can Andrew claim his first title at the third time of asking?

    Storm in a teacup

    Tim and Andrew return to discuss the latest pressing issues in cricket. Your co-hosts run the rule over England's T20Is in South Africa, pondering whether Chris Jordan is chronically underrated and getting into an existential crisis over Dawid Malan being anointed the best T20I batsman of all time.
    Elsewhere, Tim goes on a fun 5 minute rant, this time about tea provision in Sussex, Andrew assesses Spurs' cricketing creds, and a dubious clothing item makes an appearance.
    Like we said, pressing.

Informative fun

Entertaining, informative cricket pod

Still fairly new on the scene, Broken Wicket comes into 2019 bigger and better than ever before. Tends toward English cricket, but global in outlook. Well-chosen guests. The statistical deepdives set it apart - if you’re new to the podcast, seek out the episode on the most average Test team of all time.
