From glory days on tour to how sport has changed, from larger-than-life teammates to life after the final whistle, no subject is off limits. Sometimes serious, often irreverent, always honest — it’s sport as you’ve never heard it before. Join Beefy and Bill — plus an all-star line-up of amazing guests — for stories, banter, and a fresh take on the games they love.

But Beefy has a long memory and he still hasn't forgiven Wasim Akram for removing him for a duck as Pakistan beat England in the 1992 Cricket World Cup Final! Ian and Bill are joined by one of Pakistan's most celebrated players and one of the true gentlemen of the sport, offering intriguing insight into the state of Pakistan cricket after the recent failures in England. He also talks deeply about his love and affection for former Pakistan captain and Prime Minister Imran Khan, the future of red ball cricket and the lure of the Indian Premier League - plus the gym habits and pre-match routines that let's say differ somewhat to modern day sport! ----------------------- AD - Old Boys, New Balls have teamed up with Staysure Travel Insurance and are offering our listeners 20% off their next policy with code OLDBOYS20 With their Comprehensive and Signature policies recognised as Which?
