If you want to relive the trauma of England’s worst years, you’ll enjoy The 80s and 90s
Cricket Show
A new podcast about English cricket in the 1980s and 1990s? Yes, nice one, any other childhood traumas you’d like to talk about? Here’s the thing: despite being probably the worst period in England’s Test history, the end of the 20th century provides the richest nostalgia for cricket fans. There are plenty of reasons for that: the characters, the stories, the occasional glory and the frequent farce.
Cricket fan Mark Sellek decided it was time to revisit the bad old days. He created the 80s and 90s Cricket Show so we could all bathe in an era when
England had four captains in one series, Ian Botham held the front and back pages and ice baths were for the (very occasional) victory champagne.
