    49:24||Season 2, Ep. 3
    After a self-imposed break, the Lost in the Outfield gang return, still riding the high of President's Day. We briefly get serious to talk about the team's recent results, form a West Indies-style panel to deal with our poor form (with some... creative... panel choices), discuss the feisty India test series and answer some of your definitely not made up listener questions.Recorded Friday 31 July 2025

  • 2. Season 2, Episode 2: Boom, fined!

    44:33||Season 2, Ep. 2
    In a bid to raise crucial funds, the Lost in the Outfield team dishes out fines to punish those who have wronged them, both friend and foe. Hook's start to the season is reviewed, with some of the best performers championed, and there is instant reaction to Harry Brook's first game as England's white ball skipper. Plus - our first ever outtake!Recorded Thursday 29 May 2025
  • 1. Season 2, Episode 1: We're back!

    52:45||Season 2, Ep. 1
    Just when you think you can't stomach any more poor cricket takes, Lost in the Outfield returns. With the season fast approaching, we update on the goings on at Hook and Southborough, pick out some 'ones to watch' on the field this year, and broadcast a world exclusive interview with new 2s skipper Zeeshan Sadiq – everyone wanted him, but we got him! We also chat about changes at the top of English cricket ahead of a huge year of international fixtures and Simon spends a lot of time on his phone. We truly are back!Recorded Friday 18 April 2025
  • 7. Episode 7: Obligatory season review

    01:00:21||Season 1, Ep. 7
    The 2024 season is gone, but not forgotten. As is tradition, we look back over Hook's campaign, with expert analysis and discussion sadly lacking. England's up-and-down (mainly down) recent results are pondered, and we embark on... what's the opposite of a charm offensive?... when we compare Hook players to various objects. For the last time this year, apologies in advance.Recorded on Sunday 10 November
  • 6.5. Clean sweep

    27:02||Season 1, Ep. 6.5
    The awful timing of our last recording meant we narrowly avoided coverage of our three-from-three weekend, so here's a bonus episode reacting to 'the treble'. Plus – an important message addressing a recent Lost in the outfield controversy.
  • 6. Episode 6: The Hook Hundred draft

    01:01:41||Season 1, Ep. 6
    It's been a month since we last gathered to ponder all things Hook, so it's a bit of a longer episode for you to digest. We discuss the month's goings on including cricket week, President's Day, and league action. We also put together our own, ahem, fantasy teams for Hook's very own version of The Hundred, and look back on England's thumping series win over the West Indies.*This was recorded on Friday 2 August - before our weekend clean sweep. D'oh!
  • 5. Episode 5: Chatting about batting

    52:57||Season 1, Ep. 5
    England crashed out of the T20 World Cup and did not have much fun in the process. Is a change needed at the top? H&S is struggling with the bat and we're not having much fun in the process. Is a change in approach required? Personalised walk-on music would make things entertaining at least, and would defintiely be a fun change. You know, in the process. It's podcast five people!
