The Grade Cricketer Podcast (Live)

The Grade Cricketer is without doubt the most original voice in cricket. Over the past four years, this ‘everyman’ cricketer has captured the rich humour and absurdities of club cricket in just 140 Twitter characters or less. Now, he's on Facebook, recycling the exact same content in a desperate bid to feel something. An expert on everything to do with the game (except scoring runs and taking wickets) his observations on amateur sport carry frightening levels of ‘real-talk’. He is cricket’s answer to Socrates: a modern-day philosopher in whites, with an equally sloppy rig. He was once a junior prodigy - a "player of promise" - but is now experiencing the lean, increasingly existential years of adult cricket. It's here that he discovers an alpha-dominated grade cricket jungle, where blokes like Nuggsy, Bruiser, Deeks and Robbo reign supreme. The Grade Cricketer is a published author, having recently penned his tell-all autobiography, 'The Grade Cricketer'. Here, he lays bare his deepest insecurities – his relationship with Dad, his fleeting romances outside the cricket club – and, his eternal quest to find out whether there is actually more to life than hitting 50 not out in third grade and enjoying a few celebratory beers afterwards. (Spoiler alert: there isn't, but read it anyway). The Grade Cricketer has played the role of club larrikin for years, but really he lives an anxious life full of broken dreams & regret - it's no laughing matter.
