This week on The Slog Sweep, our feature guest was one of the greatest characters the sport has ever seen, in former Australian fast-bowling great Merv Hughes. In a must-listen, Merv discussed everything from Irish cricket 'then and now', to the methodology behind his infamous sledging.
This week in 'Club Corner' we went north of the border to Waringstown Cricket Club, where we spoke with Alan Waite who discussed the fascinating history of the club, as well as Club Captain Lee Nelson ahead of the NCU Challenge Cup Final on Friday.
Merrion and Ireland's Lena Tice came into studio to look back on what turned out to be a disappointing weekend in Bristol. We went 'Around the Grounds' with our three correspondents, Barry Chambers, David Holmes and Ger Siggins to look back and forward on exciting weekends of cricket. Also on the phone was World Cup 2015 hopeful Craig Young discussing the Sri Lanka A games and the opportunities ahead. There's plenty of Performances of the Week, our O'Neill's Team of the Week, and all our regular reviews and previews of Irish cricket news.
Hosted by George Hook and Mark Robinson with thanks to Johnston, Mooney & O'Brien.
