Teatime Declarations

Teatime Declarations tells the story of the complex, intriguing, and entertaining relationship between cricket and geopolitics. The podcast focuses on the sport we love through the lens of war, empire, politics, diplomacy, and society; or on geopolitics through the lens of on-field heroics, off-field scandal, and everything in between. Each episode will dive in to one topic on this theme, and your hosts Jonathan Russell and Paul Seligman will bring you into the conversation they were probably having

2024/04/26

Counties vs CitiesDoes The Hundred's city-based franchise model pose an existential threat to England's 18 First Class Counties or a potential cash cow to save them from financial misery? What does it mean for fans and for the national side? And is it evolution or revolution within the game we love? Join Paul and Jonny for some early season throwdowns, some newspapers in the changing room while it rains, and a return to beige buffets after a winter of austerity. Teatime Declarations is
