In this special guest episode we chat with sports aerodynamicist and data analyst Aaron Briggs!

What an unbelievable guest Aaron is! He reached out after listening to our episode on swing. We had to get him on the podcast to share his incredible knowledge and set the record straight about how and why a cricket ball swings! He did a PHD at Cambridge Uni on the aerodynamics of swing bowling.

We discuss everything to do with swing. How to look after the ball, what atmospheric conditions help swing, the optimal pace to suit the air temperature. Aaron also drops quite a few theories. This episode is full of mind blowing stuff!

Aaron has a blog Aaron Briggs | Substack well worth checking out! He is also on linkedIn and Twitter (x) as ABriggsCricket

In this LEGEND/ICON episode we chat with South Africa's leading ODI wicket taker and 2nd highest test wicket taker Shaun Pollock!

It was quite surreal chatting with Polly! We grew up watching and admiring him! He was excellent to talk to and is so articulate. You can tell why he also has a great career as a tv pundit after his stellar international career. He is a natural storyteller!

We discuss Pollys love of white ball cricket, how his action changed throughout his career and who his influences were growing up and as a young pro playing for Natal. He also gives away some of his favourite training tips which are very useful.
