Episode 5: The return of the janitor (and Freddie)

Direct from Wetherspoons, we bring you the SPIN podcast! With clips from recent star interviews and cricket-themed chat, it’s the number one* cricket podcast on the web.

It’s high concept. We do a brilliant cricket magazine full of star interviews. Then we go up the Wetherspoon’s to talk about it. This time, we’ve got Rob Smyth, the Third Umpire and Jono Russell – plus Andy Flintoff. You may have heard of him? Write to us at editors@spincricket.com with praise, blame and donations.

EPISODE FIVE – FULL ITINERARY

2. Rob Smyth’s wages war against ‘Ginger People’; specifically Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood.

3. Our verdict on England’s performances against New Zealand.

4. Smyth talks to the imperious Graeme Smith on the phone – but chokes before asking about choking.

6. The age-old question of Jimmy A: Problems remain, says Rob.

7. The REAL story on Stuart MacGill’s retirement and Australia’s spin woes.

8. Arrival by helicopter and a big box of money? It has the Third Umpire convinced.

9. Andy Flintoff’s verdict on the BBC Radio2 line-up. From the man himself.

10. Lamenting the demise of the Colonel.

11. Kemp turns up fashionably late, just in time to feature on the bonus track, with a story about Ravi Shastri’s knackers.

*In our eyes, anyway.
