Back Of A Length Podcast

🏏NEW EPISODE🏏 WE'RE BACK!!! We kick off season three by diving right into the SuperSmash, talk NZ v PAK T20s, and finish with another of our infamous XIs.

Third ball of the first over and Matthew Hayden is talking about horses with bags on their head. This is proper test match cricket commentary. #WTCFinal #WTC2O25Final #AUSvSA

@SomersetCCC Looks like a bat first wicket. Fortunate to get Essex out for just over 200

Somerset win the toss and elect to bowl first 👊 #SOMvESS #WeAreSomerset

We’re starting a Go Fund Me to get @SomersetCCC’s mower fixed. Link to be posted soon

Thankfully we’re decent company

Hey @BCCI, can we play you every week?? Only in India though please. #INDvNZ

Happy Birthday to one half of our podcast- Marc!!!

Dammit @elonmusk give us more characters m8! We’re grateful for all of the support we’ve had so far… and we promise this is a temporary hiatus. In the meantime, up the @BLACKCAPS up the incredible @WHITE_FERNS , and up the @aucklandcricket.

3 years ago today we started our little hobby, and we’ve had a lot of fun! We hope you’ve enjoyed it too whanau! Regrettably, we won’t be recording this summer due to Marc not being available for half the season. But we will still be on socials! #nzcricket #cricketpodcast

@1stchoicetaken I’m struggling with Mitchell too at the moment. I’d probably persist but he needs to be more consistent. And needs to turn his starts into big runs. One test century in two years is not good enough from a number four.

Will this performance be the one that accelerates Gary Stead’s departure as head coach. You imagine he will stay for the India tour, which will be a tough assignment for the Blackcaps. Should Gary Stead be replaced ahead of the home summer? #SLvNZ

@Ykush_Tyagi 2/2 to impact a game. Blundell has been under performing with the bat for quite a while now too. There’s a collection of under performing players who are considered the nucleus of this squad. They know they won’t be dropped by a conservative coach, and that is unacceptable.

@Ykush_Tyagi I agree. I wasn’t sure Southee was the right option for test captain at the time anyway, that for me was not a good decision. Persisting with an under performing Conway has been tough to watch. Mitchell hasn’t done anything for a while either, and the captain struggles 1/2

Thanks for all the shoutouts while Will O Rourke is bowling @Mitch_Savage ;)

We actually have cricket!! This is nice :) Souuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu *takes a breath* theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee #SLvNZ

@nandbkieren We totally get that. We try and stay away from the politics where we can… and just focus on cricketing performance. But we do understand the stigma around this series :)

@backofalength_ The massive elephant in the room guys.... bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Next update in TWO hours. This is absolutely farcical. No play in a day and a half so far because the drainage is absolutely sub standard. A terrible advert for test cricket, and cricket in general. #AFGvNZ

Just call it off fellas. What is the point?

@1stchoicetaken Could be New Zealand’s national cricket stadium 👀
