About this episode

An exclusive interview with former Zimbabwe bowling coach Steven Kirby discussing his career and experiences in cricket.

In one of our most special episodes to date, we sit down with former-Zimbabwe bowling coach Steven Kirby, a county cricket stalwart, passionate coach, and one of the most genuine men the game has to offer. Steve takes us through a remarkable career in county cricket, the transition into coaching, and what drew him to Zimbabwe. We dive deep into his 18 months as bowling coach for Zimbabwe, the unforgettable highs of the 2022 T20 World Cup campaign, and the gut-wrenching heartbreak of the ODI qualifier defeat to Scotland in Bulawayo. But more than the results, this episode is about a man who bleeds cricket. Steve was honest, emotional, and refreshingly real, sharing his thoughts on where Zimbabwe cricket goes from here and why his belief in this team has never wavered.
