To anyone into cricket and/or interesting bits of history, there's a podcast called 'The Final Word' that I picked up during the most recent Ashes. They should be good value during the upcoming CWC too. 

 

It's a couple of Aussies (one based in London and follows the county cricket scene quite closely) who are more of your purist type, rather than partisan. 

 

The most recent episode talks about a bunch of English POWs playing cricket in the Dutch First Class during WW1. Well worth a listen.

Yeah, it's a good podcast. 

 

Do you listen to/watch The Grade Cricketer? Less earnest than Final Word but for anyone who's played club cricket at a reasonable level, and especially 10-20 years ago, the tone is absolutely perfect.
