In this episode of the podcast we feature an interview with Tegid Phillips and Matty Ryan about their record-breaking partnership for Wales National County against Cheshire.
They discuss their club cricket backgrounds, with Matty playing for St. Asaph and Tegid for Cardiff, and their experiences in three-day cricket.
The pair detail their approach to the innings, focusing on occupation of the crease and application, which led to a partnership of 380 runs. Matty scored 241, becoming the first Welsh National County player to score a double century, while Tegid made 155 not out.
They reflect on the physical and mental demands of the long innings and the significance of the achievement, which included setting a new National Counties record.
The interview concludes with them sharing their plans for the off-season.
