The Cricketers Network

The Cricketers Network podcast has had a kiwi comedy takeover! We mix it up a little this week, instead of former professional players, how about a couple of professional comedians who happen to be super cricket fans. Sanjay Patel is best known to people as Guy Montgomery’s side kick on the hugely popular Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee and Tony Lyall is deep in the cricket world being an ACC commentator and a game day host at Blackcaps games over many summers. They cover everything from favourite moments, players, best format and some cracker yarns about Gavin Larsen and Kieran Read - plus we find out if Tony stole Ben's job at New Zealand Cricket.
