Expected leaves, driving "on the up" & absolute Ebony Rainford-Brent
It’s the second test for the Cricket Cliches crew featuring our first change as cricket writer Charlie Reynolds steps in for Nick Miller.
On the agenda today; Ashes misery, who deserves more sympathy? Holiday-makers Down Under forced to endure the vineyards of Western Australia, or those of us stuck at home with TNT Sports?
England’s batters got plenty of stick for trying to drive “on the up”. What exactly does that mean and why is it so dangerous? Plus, cricket commentary’s top 3 absolutists and the horror that is expected leaves.

Arsenal's official title status, Idris Elba's prefix woe & the verb "to goal”
Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: Charlie's Sunday Supplement debut, the soundtrack of a comeback from 2-0 down away from home, the definitive classification of Arsenal’s title chances, the unexpected verb of "goaled", Daniel Farke and the most boring inevitable sacking of all time, and Idris Elba's football knowledge is brutally exposed by a prefix.
Meanwhile, the panel ponder the soccer equivalent of some very specific NFL terminology.

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.
