    Ep. 11 - SA20
    2024/05/06
    It's February 2024 and David opens up about a difficult time playing for Joburg Super Kings in the SA20, the final tournament of our year together. We learn how past performances count for nothing if you don't make a good first impression with a coach, how quickly pre-tournament assurances can disappear and how difficult it is to break into a starting XI once you've been left out. We examine the pros and cons of staying at home rather than in a team hotel, choosing between tournaments and the possible regrets, how the SA20 is reshaping cricket in South Africa and the latest craze to dominate days off during franchise tournaments. Also on the agenda: growing up with Faf du Plessis, two-hour commutes, the best play-off system to decide finalists, crowd catches, creating household names, 3rd XI Test teams, the evolution of dressing room culture, drinking brandy in Paarl and the secrets of the relay catch. David's stats from the tournament: https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/tournament/averages-batting-bowling-by-team/sa20-2023-24-15679?team=6987 David does the hard work for a relay catch with Leus du Plooy: https://youtu.be/OHGcBSazhmY?si=qTWpL1oQN7q6r1RL&t=177 COMING SOON: Bonus episode!

    Ep. 10 - Abu Dhabi T10
    2024/04/29
    It's December 2023 and David has just returned from the Abu Dhabi T10 where he was playing for losing finalists, Deccan Gladiators. Is T10 a format the players take seriously? Are we at 'peak franchise'? Who does this tournament exist for? Could T10 be the perfect format for growing the game globally? How do players protect themselves from corruption? Also on the agenda: hourly rates, the Rugby 7s of cricket, who is known as Mr. T10, why saving your best performances for the Abu Dhabi T10 could be a shrewd move, Indian players in leagues other than the IPL, Rashid Khan's aversion to T10, suspicious no balls and staying in shape over Christmas. David's stats from the tournament: https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/tournament/averages-batting-bowling-by-team/abu-dhabi-t10-2023-24-15945?team=6683 David slams 20 from 11 balls in the final: https://youtu.be/FvSFI1Fqp5E?si=iZxIHE7thuVJX3Du&t=297 COMING SOON: Bonus episode!
