#WomensHistoryMonth is keeping us busy so you catch us and a new episode same time next week!
As we say every show, sport isn't just sport. From the first game, it has inherently been a vehicle of political change, cultural identity, and nation-building, wielded for good and bad. For the West Indies, they used it to change their country for the better.
We're just sharing this photo because there's few things in the game of cricket that Sasky loves more than flying stumps. You catch us talking cricket (or trying to) in our latest show. ow.ly/2Ix450DIbcF
Want a tutorial on how to piss of a cricket team, the Caribbean, and half of London? In 1976, Tony Greig had you covered.
There's fearsome and then there's "My Nickname is Whispering Death" fearsome. In the 1970s, Michael Holding and the West Indies changed the game like no other. The story: ow.ly/2TcG50DIb76
40 years on from the iconic 1976 series, a new generation of West Indian players are redefining cricket as a whole new game. ow.ly/WWCp50DIbrs
When is a game more than just a game? In the West Indies, cricket is woven into the fabric of the country, a bond between the 13 countries that formed it. It's national identity, a changing world, and a lasting legacy in the latest episode : ow.ly/z19Q50DIb5p
Here's a #ThrowbackThursday to our first meeting! We miss seeing you all in person. 😢
A massive thank you to the wonderful people who came out for tonight’s first @WellActuallySC event and a great evening of sports talk and goals. There will be more!
When cricket return to the world stage in 2020, so did the West Indian team, with a message and determination to be heard. Listen to #7: The One Where It's Just Not Cricket (Fire in Babylon): anchor.fm/well-actually-…
"Maybe that’s why the folks who made me feel that way, may think Vivian Richards is the most arrogant guy on earth, but no. I bat for human beings, equal rights." ow.ly/b8dR50DIblr
The game of cricket has long been a marker of England's history of colonialism in countries across the globe. But for many countries, the game became something to take for themselves, something to dominate in their own right. #7: Fire in Babylon: anchor.fm/well-actually-…
Yeahhh, nahh / yeahh, no.
The remainder of the Vegas/Colorado outdoor game at Lake Tahoe will be continued tonight at 9 p.m. PT/12 a.m. ET.
"To tell West Indians you're gonna make them effin' 'grovel' - God help us, you asking for trouble." Winning in 1976 was about more than just a cricket match for London's West Indian population. They celebrated as such. Listen to the story: ow.ly/O6ev50DE39u
While there are many things that are just not cricket, not so casual racism was an every-game occurrence for the world-beating @windiescricket We're talking @Sasky's favourite sport, its colonial heritage, and the "Fire in Babylon": ow.ly/57jl50DDdN9
In a sport with deep colonial roots, the West Indies redefined not just the role of athletes in pushing a country forward socially but the very game of cricket itself. This is the story of how. Episode 7 - Fire in Babylon: ow.ly/NUXx50DCbpX
From the @WellActuallySC Team - Happy Valentines Day! We hope you're spending it with someone you like as much as we love sport (and we really, really love sport). xoxo M & S
"There's an elegance and a strength about him that's really intoxicating." For racing driver/producer/sometimes actor Patrick Dempsey, telling the story of 'Hurley' was the opportunity to mix profession and personal passions. ow.ly/7Mwz50DtkUd
