Double Century with Jarrod Kimber ·

2022/11/18

In this episode, it’s the USA, an ancient cricketing power.

Kenya: The Team That Peaked and Vanished

Double Century with Jarrod Kimber ·

2022/11/11

Hong Kong: The Club Team In Excelsius

Double Century with Jarrod Kimber ·

2022/11/04

In this episode, it’s Hong Kong, one-half of a cricketing rivalry older than the Ashes. This is about recovering from a shipwreck that claimed most of its cricketers, a novel cricket format, a batter whose six-hitting stopped a match, and using social media to recruit cricketers.-Find the 99.94 app here:Android: http://bit.ly/3S29f1RiOS: http://apple.co/3ovg0M5.To find all our podcasts, head over here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/channel/99-94dm/id6443234103.To support Double Century please go to

Namibia: The Small Team with the Big Dreams

Double Century with Jarrod Kimber ·

2022/10/28

In this episode, it’s Namibia, a country a little more than three decades old who have already caused ripples in world cricket.

Denmark: The Hand-Made Cricket Team

Double Century with Jarrod Kimber ·

2022/10/21

In this episode, it's Denmark, a country that produced an English Test player, a Derbyshire cult hero, a run machine who won two Olympic silver medals, and had to learn how to manufacture their own failed cricket bats during a World War. They also formed one half of continental Europe's greatest cricket rivalry, and somehow never made a men's World Cup.-Find the 99.94 app here:Android: http://bit.ly/3S29f1RiOS: http://apple.co/3ovg0M5.To find all our podcasts, head over here:

Argentina: The Test Nation That Should Have Been

Double Century with Jarrod Kimber ·

2022/10/06

Cricket took off in Argentina surprisingly early. They beat English teams from time to time. They played an international match before Test cricket was born. With some luck, they could have played Test cricket. And if you take Guyana away, they are the best cricketing nation in South America.-Find the 99.94 app here:Android: http://bit.ly/3S29f1RiOS: http://apple.co/3ovg0M5.To find all our podcasts, head over here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/channel/99-94dm/id6443234103.To support Double Century

Double Century with Jarrod Kimber ·

2022/09/30

Canada played the USA in the first International Cricket Match. They also played in the early World Cups. In the 1960s and 70s they were often thought of as a future Test nation, and that is not even including when they beat the Australians. -Find the 99.94 app here:Android: http://bit.ly/3S29f1RiOS: http://apple.co/3ovg0M5.To find all our podcasts, head over here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/channel/99-94dm/id6443234103.To support Double Century please go to our Patreon page:

The Smile From The Gloom

Double Century with Jarrod Kimber ·

2022/07/15

The end of Aubrey Faulkner's life was about cameos, one-off comebacks and coaching. Eventually his demons got to him, but the men he coached, they carried the legacy that sadly he couldn't see he was building.-Sign up for the 99.94 DM Beta App launch here: https://9994dm.com.To support the podcast please go to our Patreon page. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=32090121.If you like this podcast, you may enjoy other things I create, check them all out at https://linktr.ee/jarrodkimber.This podcast is

The Best Player, The Best Coach

Double Century with Jarrod Kimber ·

2022/07/08

In this episode we look at how good a player Aubrey Faulkner became, still the only man averaging over 40 runs with the bat and under 30 with the ball with 50 wickets. But from there, he went on to create a cricket coaching utopia as well. -Sign up for the 99.94 DM Beta App launch here: https://9994dm.com.To support the podcast please go to our Patreon page. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=32090121.If you like this podcast, you may enjoy other things I create, check them all out at

Zimbabwe's Chicken Farmer

Double Century with Jarrod Kimber ·

2021/10/01

This episode of Double Century is sadder than the rest, because of where Zimbabwe cricket finds itself over the last 20 years. But there are incredible stories here of beating the Australians, dismissing the greatest Zimbabwean, the black arm protest and most importantly, the time they beat the English. - This podcast is brought to you by our supporters at Patreon, if you like what you heard here, please help out if you can over at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=32090121.

Afghanistan's Last Almost

Double Century with Jarrod Kimber ·

2021/09/10

This week we’re adding a bonus episode on Afghanistan, the most likely team to beat England in the next few years. This is not a standard Double Century, it’s not a written and narrated piece. It’s just me talking about Afghanistan, how they almost beat England and wondering if they’ll get a chance again. - This podcast is brought to you by our supporters at Patreon, if you like what you heard here, please help out if you can over at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=32090121.
