In a coup for the ‘Can’t Bowl Can’t Throw‘ podcast, Cat and I interview chief cricket writer at The Australian newspaper, Mr Peter Lalor.
I pronounced his surname incorrectly. That went down well.
If that isn’t cool enough, we spoke to him LIVE from the Dubai Press Box (Tea Break, Day 2 of the 1st Pakistan v Australia Test).
It’s a slightly messy recording as the game is going on live, Peter was eating a piece of cake and he had to keep his voice down for the courtesy of others.
Having said all of that, the insights are simply brilliant!
We discuss:
- What is actually in a Press Box
- Who is in there with Peter?
- What do you do all day in there?
- Is the food any good?
- How is non traditional media affecting how The Australian and other papers report on cricket?
- Press Box Etiquette
- Did Mitch Marsh get pissed on his latest birthday?
We also talk a little bit about the cricket, given there is a Test match going on.
Finally, we have another Muller Award winner.
