Ep. 5 - Vitality Blast

from Hitman for Hire: A year in the life of a franchise cricketer · host Sam Keir & David Wiese

COMING SOON: Bonus episode! David will be answering YOUR questions about the life of a franchise cricketer. Get in touch via the methods below. It's the end of June 2023, and David and his Yorkshire Vikings have one game remaining in the group stage of the Vitality Blast. David has had a decent tournament with bat and ball, but his role off the pitch at a club still dealing with the aftermath of a racism scandal has been almost as important. He highlights the many differences of playing for a county when compared to the newer franchise teams. On the agenda: random breaks for four-day cricket, being one of just two overseas players, points deductions, IPL stars desperate to play in the Blast, players missing games after getting stuck on the motorway, taking the field at club grounds, the Roses match, managing commitments in overlapping tournaments and more to boot!
