  Ep 448 - Dennis Amiss - A Special Moment for Dennis

  Aug 18, 202638 min

  In this episode of The Paddock and The Pavilion, we go back to the middle of August 1976 and England’s Test series against the West Indies. Two nil down after four Tests and with the series already lost, England recalled opener Dennis Amiss. After struggling against the pace of Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson during the 1974/75 Ashes in Australia and again in the 1975 Ashes in England, Dennis developed a new technique for playing fast bowling while playing for Warwickshire CCC during the summer of 1976. He joins me to explain how that technique developed and to recall what he describes as a special moment in his career, scoring a double century against a fearsome West Indies attack featuring Michael Holding, Andy Roberts and Wayne Daniel. England lost the 5th Test at the Oval by 213 runs. Please subscribe to us on Apple podcasts, Amazon music, Spotify or on our YouTube channel.

  Aug 15, 202643 min

  Test cricket returns on 19 August at Headingley, with England beginning a three Test series against Pakistan. In this episode, Leena Moin Aziz, Asia’s first female cricket commentator, joins us to look ahead to the series and provide her insight into the current state of Pakistan cricket. Leena looks at Pakistan’s key players, including returning Test captain Babar Azam and the key batters who will be important to Pakistan’s chances. We discuss opening bowler Mohammad Abbas, who has enjoyed plenty of success playing in England, while off spinner Sajid Khan is another player we hope to see feature in the series. Leena talks about Sajid’s performances and his flamboyant celebrations whenever he takes a wicket, as well as Pakistan’s hopes for the series and what England can expect. There’s plenty of discussion about England too, with Leena giving her thoughts on their Ashes defeat and the recent changes at the top of the Test team. And, as the first Test at Headingley approaches, Leena gives her prediction on how she thinks the series will go.   Please subscribe to us on Apple podcasts, Amazon music, Spotify or on our YouTube channel.
