The Bowler’s Union Podcast

What happens at the end of the season?!

In this episode we discuss what happens at the end of the season.
We frequently get asked what we do at the end of the season in October especially. For most UK professionals it tends to be a time of rest and players cant wait to go and recharge the batteries somewhere warm before returning to training. We will go a little deeper for you in this episode!

Pro Interview | Joe Leach

In this PRO INTERVIEW we chat with Worcestershire legend and former captain JOE LEACH.
We have admired Joe for a long time and his record speaks for itself. A one club man, Joe has captained his county Worcestershire and taken 472 first class wickets for the Pears in a career that started in 2012 and will end upon his retirement at the end of this season.
We do the usual quickfire questions, talk about captaincy as a bowler and we discuss Joes transition from batting to being one of the most feared new ball bowlers on the circuit!

Icon Interview | Jonathan Trott

In this LEGEND/ICON episode we chat with England hero, ICC cricketer of the year 2011 Jonathan Trott!
We are so pleased to get our former teammate on the show. Trotty is a fantastic batter who has had an awesome career and although he isnt an out and out bowler his insights are great to hear. He also happens to be a great storyteller. Trotty is the current Afghanistan head coach so as well as having a steller playing career  he is able to to give us a unique perspective on bowling with his head coach hat on!
We discuss the best bowler Trotty has faced and why. What the difference is between a county and test bowler. Which bowlers Trotty finds hardest to face and we also discuss that incident at the T20 world cup!
