Welcome back to The Clean Take Podcast!

In this episode, we’re embracing the chaos of village cricket as we rank some of the most outrageously “village” moments the game has to offer — from classic mishaps to the kind of scenes you only see on a Sunday afternoon. If you’ve played club cricket, you’ll definitely recognise a few of these…

We also look ahead to the season with our personal targets — what we’re aiming for this year, where we want to improve, and what would actually count as a successful campaign for us.

On top of that, we chat through the opening rounds of the County Championship, discussing early standouts, key performances, and what’s already catching our attention as the season gets underway.

As always, there’s a mix of cricket chat, honest opinions, and a few stories thrown in along the way.

So if you’re into village cricket, County Championship action, and a bit of everything in between, this is the episode for you.
