It's ten years since Jarrod Kimber's excellent documentary "Death of a Gentleman" which investigated match-fixing, corruption and the threat - even then - to the future of Test cricket. It's also six years since Jarros was one of the very first guests on "98 Not Out", so a catch up was well overdue... In this chat we talk about an idea of franchised Test cricket, whether the "Big Three" of England, Australis and India could be outmanoeuvred by the financial might of Saudi Arabia and how might it all lead to the relationship between Narendra Modi and Donald Trump! Jarrod's also got a new book out, "The Art of Batting" and he tells us how he managed to compile such a fascinating list.https://amzn.eu/d/5xmokbP

From street cricket to facing the world’s best bowlers, Solomon Mire’s journey to international cricket is nothing short of extraordinary. In this jam-packed episode, Solomon opens up about his early days in Zimbabwe, training without gear, and the raw, fearless environment that shaped his explosive batting style. He shares the behind-the-scenes stories of playing against future stars like Kohli, Williamson, and Hazelwood at the U19 World Cup—while borrowing kit from opposition teams. We explore his emotional return to Zimbabwe after years in Melbourne, his ODI century against Sri Lanka, and the mindset that helped him face fast bowling with confidence, long before he ever wore a helmet. Solomon also dives deep into the mental side of the game, working with elite coach Neil D’Costa, dealing with career-defining decisions, and building his post-cricket coaching platform, Advanced to Play. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, belief, and becoming a cricketer on your own terms. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon to stay updated with new episodes.
