Lashing/dabbing a seed/cherry, moral victories, and why do the Aussies hate Bazball?
This, is Cricket Cliches, the all-new, slightly strange cousin of your favourite football podcast hosted by commentator Daniel Norcross with cricket journalists Dan Gallan and Dave Tickner, and the soothingly familiar presence of FC regular Nick Miller.
In our very first episode, on the eve of The Ashes, we dive headlong into the Bazball debate… why does it wind Australians up so much? And while we’re at it, just call the ball a ball.
We try to escape the “moral victory” maze and there’s a look back at the article which inspired the show, Dan G’s dictionary of batting vernacular.
And we spend too much time trying to come up with names for a cricketing equivalent of Mesut/Haaland/Dicks before answering our first listener question: what exactly is a ‘heavy ball’?

The "Club X til I die" loophole & torn hamstrings at the Battle of Hastings: The listeners' loves & hates
Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker entertain this month's listener entries for Mesut Haaland Dicks, as the Clichés faithful nominate their niche footballing fascinations and irritations.
Among the selections are a tiny loophole in pledging your lifelong allegiance to your club, referees waiting patiently to book an injured player, and whether football-specific injuries ever occurred in ancient times.
Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel take in the sounds of Scotland's World Cup qualification heroics and Mike Dean pluralising referees on The Overlap.

On toast in his pocket, pulling up trees & The Number-and-a-Half XI
Adam Hurrey is joined on the midweek Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: the coining of a superb phrase in Canada, Dua Lipa tests the football hipster threshold, Conor Bradley’s triple lock on Vinicius Junior, an early contender for semi-accidental footballing portmanteau of the season, how to (not) "pull up trees", the celebrity TV equivalent of inevitably signing for West Ham and English football stadiums that could be someone’s name.
Meanwhile, after Thomas Tuchel's description of Phil Foden as a "nine and a half", the panel put together a definitive team of Number and a Halfs.
