The Japan Cricket Podcast - S2 - E9: JCL T20 Preview with Dhugal Bedingfield
play

08/08/22 • 25 min

A new competition starts on Saturday 13th August, the Japan Cricket League T20! 16 teams will battle it out and so I invited podcast regular Dhugal Bedingfield to come and chat about it. We run you through all the groups as well as make some wildly unscientific predictions, which will inevitably leave us with egg on our faces. Prior to that there's the usual JCL round up as well. As always if you have time to rate or review the show that would be great, or even just recommend it to one other person who might be interested, that'd be good too. You can follow the show on Instagram and you should also check out BRB Munde on Spotify, Apple Music or wherever you get your tunes, big thanks to him for the backing music for the show.

Welcome to Season Two of the Japan Cricket Podcast! The 2022 season has arrived and we already have news of a ridiculous innings played in the Japan Cup, and it's not even April.

In this episode I wanted to preview the Japan Cricket League (JCL) with a primary focus on Division One and so I asked Dhugal Bedingfield, the captain of the defending champions, to join me once again as we do a run down of all 12 teams in the league (including his Chiba Sharks), discuss the players to watch and then hazard a guess at what the league table will look like after 13 rounds.

We also talk briefly about the passing of one of the greatest ever to play the sport, Shane Warne, and the impact he had on each of us as well as in Japan.

If you have time please do follow the show on Instagram: www.instagram.com/japan_cricket_podcast, and feel free to message me there in the comments section for each episode, and if you have the time then a rating or review on whichever platform you listen would be much appreciated.
