Boundary Talk

For the last time in this Ashes series, thanks for listening to Boundary Talk. England and Stuart Broad draw the series level to end a marvellous Ashes as Australia retain the urn.

It's a two-day special and the back-and-forth nature of this Test has reflected the series as a whole. The penultimate episode of Boundary Talk's coverage of the Ashes series.

Marnus Labuschagne bores, and Ben Stokes amazes... the England bias is on full display today.

The Ashes heads into its final test, and a different atmosphere surrounds the series. England lost their first coin toss of the series and were taken down by a brilliant Australian bowling attack.

England's dominance destroyed by two days of rain, and a final test dream denied as Australia retain the Ashes after a 4th Test washout.

Wow. That's the only word to describe Zak Crawley today as England raced to a commanding position - but will the weather let them down?

The fourth Test of the Ashes is underway, and it has been another drama-filled day. Kieran and George break it all down in just over ten minutes.

Ben Stokes and Joe Root? No... Mark Wood and Chris Woakes prove to be England's saviours as they reduce the Ashes series deficit to make it 2-1.

England kept their slim Ashes dream alive with an impressive victory in the final T20 against Australia in front of a record crow. Alice Capsey was the standout star.

Who else but Ben Stokes to save England when they are up sh*ts creek without a paddle? It's been a brilliant day 2 of the third Ashes Test.

A fascinating first day, with an exhibition in pace bowling from Mark Wood the highlight of play.

A feisty episode of Boundary Talk as there is a clash over Jonny Bairstow's dismissal. Plus full reaction to Australia going 2-0 up in the Ashes series.

A controversial end to a fantastic day 4 at Lords leaves the Test hanging firmly in the balance as it heads to its final day.

Australia took firm control of the second Test leaving England dangerously close to going two down in the series.

After the Aussies posted 416, England took the fight back on Day 2 of the second Test.

Test 2 of the Ashes kicked off at Lords, and it was a day to forget for England.

Despite a frantic finish, Australia claimed victory in the first Test of the Ashes - leading to some very fiery discussion on England's approach to the game. You won't want to miss this one.

Seth and Caleb bring you the rundown from an exhilarating Day Four of the first Ashes Test. There is debate about whether England's batter threw their wickets away, who has the slight edge going into the decisive Day Five, and how important Stuart Broad's late wickets could prove to be... Thanks for listening to Boundary Talk. We aim to bring you a round-up of the latest cricket action in less than 10 minutes, and all before your morning commute. Before the timer stops ticking, let’s get going...

Kieran and George discuss a rain-affected day of Ashes cricket and look at how a brief 20-minute spell may have completely turned this first test on its head.

Australia take back control of the first test of the Ashes, and could blunders at keeper prove costly for England?

It's Ashes season and Boundary Talk will be providing a ten minute roundup for every single day. Joe Root kicked things off for England with a memorable century, but Ben Stokes decision to declare on 393 caused a debate on the podcast.

Seth reports live from a rainy Worcester (yes, it was nearly 30 degrees earlier) where rain means the Charlotte Edwards Cup final between Southern Vipers and The Blaze will be decided on the reserve day (Sunday). Mr Lonely talks you through the 9.3 overs of action that were managed before the heavens opened, as well as the semi-final which saw defending champions Southern Vipers earn their spot to do battle with The Blaze.

How have you all coped without us for over a week? Well, don't fret as Boundary Talk makes it return live from Blackpool Cricket Club as Seth provides an update on the Charlotte Edwards Cup after the penultimate round of fixtures.

George is on duty as the T20 Blast kicks off with a... blast? Sean Abbott raises the roof with a record-equalling century from just 34 balls!

The trend of solo episodes continues with Seth the latest host to take up the handle of Mr Lonely today. Live from Edgbaston, there was much to be discussed from the Charlotte Edwards Cup fixture between Northern Diamonds and Central Sparks. Seth talks through the importance of Leah Dobson's innings, the crazy 18th over, and a performance from Georgia Davis which will go under the radar (and it shouldn't!). He also talks through the current state of the Charlotte Edwards Cup table after almost a week of action, and there is a brief overview of the other match today between South East Stars and Southern Vipers.

Solo Kieran returns looking at a slightly bemusing day of cricket, where Steve Smith brought the meaning of 'village' cricket to life.

Results galore, and some mouthwatering final-day fixtures, makes for a thrilling episode, sure. The question is, however, will Oli be alone yet again? Tune in to find out :o

After another solo-show failing to do some brilliant #CountyChampionship action justice, Oli is DELIGHTED to announce nominations are being taken for Seth's replacement. Listen to the episode for all the details ;)

Seth is Mr Lonely for the second time today as he talks through all the action from the first day of round six of the County Championship.

Kieran and Seth are let loose for the first time without Ollie to delve into the final day of a thrilling week of County Championship cricket.

Join Mr Lonely (Oli) in Boundary Talk's most phenomenal episode to date. Also - we really aren't prepared emotionally for Jimmy Anderson to be injured..

In memory of all those hoping for a big first innings score. RIP.

Oli and Seth are back to talk you through a rain-affected round five of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, which only saw two out of a possible four results. However, there was still more than enough action to digest, with incredible catches, a century in a losing cause, and two bowlers proving their importance by leading their side to victory.

Thanks for listening to Boundary Talk. We aim to bring you a round up of the latest cricket action in less than 10 minutes, and all before your morning commute. Before the timer stops ticking, let’s get going... Oli and Seth are back once again to bring a ten-minute state of play update after the first four rounds of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, which included an incredible game in Durham, a rare tie between Thunder and Sparks, sixes galore, and even a debut century for an Irish international.

Oli and Seth are back to talk you all through all the action from day four of round five of the County Championship, which was harder than expected given the almost silly number of draws we have had this week. There was an excellent win for the Bears, a centurion for the Pears, an umpiring howler in Derby, and some outrageous fielding positions all over.

Absolutely nothing will stop us regaling in the majesty of Tom Kohler-Cadmore's return to form.

Seth has made Oliver stop feeling lonely and accompanied him on a trip to Worcester to see two international stars take on the Pears' bowlers. Also lots of chat about the other games om day two of round five of the County Championship.

It may seem that Oli has 0 mates. That's not true. He has County Cricket <3.

Seth and Oliver return after handing the reins to Kieran as round four of the 2023 County Championship somewhat petered out with the two remaining games both ending in draws. There is discussion about how Cheteshwar Pujara exemplifies the difference between county and international cricket, Leicestershire's impressive batting, and the moment of village that everyone is talking about.

A first solo podcast as Kieran is joined by NONE of the crew today - he still does a great job catching you up on all the County Cricket action though. Disclaimer - Kieran wrote this description

Seth and George are back, again from Lord's, again with no Oliver or Kieran. It was an action-filled day at the Home of Cricket, with 16 wickets falling, Ryan Higgins coming to the rescue, and Zak Crawley going for a platinum duck. Elsewhere, there is discussion about Cheteshwar Pujara's sleeping habits, a bowlers' day in Birmingham, and Leicestershire proving the haters wrong.

After a frustrating day one of round four of the County Championship, Kieran and George take you through all the rain-affected action. Bet you're just glad it's not those other two.

Join Oliver and Seth, live not from a cricket ground for a change, but the safety of their own homes as they go through what was an incredible opening round of fixtures in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. Batting first seemed the way to go, with the boys amazed by two bowling spells in particular as well as the batting of the Northern Diamonds' middle-order, and the fact that Sunrisers fans finally have something to celebrate.

Seth is as weary as ever. Lucky you. Oh, Oli's also here. And where is Kieran? Not at the cricket that's for sure.

A japingly jolly round-up from your most favourite, but least qualified, cricket journalists on the circuit, Oliver and Seth.

Seth is back, and joined by first-timer George, live from the Shane Warne commentary box at Lord's, with no sign of either Oliver or Kieran... It was another great day of county cricket despite the rain causing two wash-outs, with yet another Jimmy Anderson five-fer, Ben Duckett's incredible innings, Middlesex's top order not (?) failing, and Northants struggles all discussed on episode five of Boundary Talk.

Kieran and Oliver are not joined by Seth, who couldn't be bothered to show up, to review day one of round three of the County Championship. Search @BoundaryTalk wherever you're online.
