"The Worst Pitch Of All Time?"

About this episode

The episode discusses the controversial Lord's pitch and various cricket-related topics including upcoming matches and player news.

On this week’s episode of The BYC Podcast, Dylan Cleaver & Paul Ford join ACC Head G Lane to discuss if that Lord's pitch was the worst of all time and ask what is going on with modern grassology? (00:00)... Once they're done raking over the coals of the 1st Test, they look ahead to the 2nd Test at the Oval and what some of the English got up to post win (18:20)... Then they chat about why there is no Test in Auckland during the upcoming home summer (27:00), preview the White Ferns at the T20 World Cup (30:25), before touching on Richard Boock leaving NZ Cricket (32:05). Plus, a far less grim Paul Ford’s Cricket Violence Corner (35:20)!
