The 80s and 90s Cricket Show (sponsored by Mark Sellek of Anderton Law) is back for Season 2 with old favourites and new guests to look back on the good, the bad and the ugly over a couple of decades of English cricket.In Episode 2, host Gary Naylor is joined by Mike Selvey, Derek Pringle and Rob Smyth to give the old warhorse, Angus Fraser, another canter round the paddock. In the second innings, they look back to one of English cricket's great forgotten series, 1991's five Test epic against the West Indies. They assess exactly how good was Graham Gooch's legendary 154 not out, get under the wide brim of Richie Richardson's sunhat and find a place for a 2-2 right next to a more famous 2-1, 14 years later.Get involved on Twitter (@CricShow80s90s).

Former England captain Graham Gooch joins Gary Naylor, Peter Hayter and Pat Murphy to discuss the career of Phil Tufnell, a left-arm spinner who received his first Test cap under Gooch and who then found himself in and out of both trouble and the England team throughout the nineties. As you’d expect, there are plenty of behind the scenes tales of high jinks and misdemeanours. Then they dissect England’s disastrous tour of India in 1992/93, with reflections from the skipper on the decision to leave David Gower at home (and the subsequent outcry), dodgy prawns, baffling selections and backfiring PR stunts.

Peter Hayter, Emma John and Rob Smyth join Gary Naylor to discuss how Mike Atherton’s inexperienced England tourists fared against Brian Lara and the West Indies in early 1994. There are tales of Miller’s bar, blotto copy and teenage trauma, along with colourful memories of Curtly Ambrose and 46 all out, an unlikely victory in Barbados and Lara’s world record test score. And will the panel reach any consensus over the enigma that is Graeme Hick? They attempt to weigh his extraordinary talent and considerable achievements against the times when his England performances didn’t meet people’s huge expectations.

Derek Pringle, Mike Selvey and Rob Smyth join Gary Naylor to discuss the swashbuckling former England and Hampshire batsman Robin Smith. Derek roomed with him for England, Rob helped him write his revealing autobiography and Mike watched Smith’s international career closely from the press box, so there’s no shortage of insight about ‘The Judge’. Both Robin and Derek were part of England’s 1992 World Cup campaign and there’s a fascinating, in-depth chat about that memorable tournament as well, when Imran Khan’s Pakistan beat England in the final. Oh and listen out for the year’s best Christopher Martin-Jenkins anecdote. The 80’s and 90’s Cricket Show is sponsored by Anderton Law. Get involved on Twitter (@CricShow80s90s). Hosted on Acast.

The 80s and 90s Cricket Show revisits the days of Botham and Gower, Viv Richards, Allan Border, and Javed Miandad - the days before T20, when test matches had rest days, when chairmen of selectors couldn’t recall names of players, blamed getting beaten on astrology, and once selected 4 captains and 29 players in a single summer. Gary Naylor will be joined by the likes of Derek Pringle, Mike Selvey, Rob Smyth, Peter Hayter, Pat Murphy and Simon Wilde to discuss the best and worst of cricket at the end of the 20th century.
