Description
This week we talk about cricket and baseball, to discuss pitchers who can't hit, number elevens who can't bat and how baseball produced their first great all-rounder in 100 years. I brought on one of baseball’s greatest writers to chat about it, Ben Lindbergh. We discuss soft tossers, Babe Ruth, number 11s, Imran Khan, designated hitters and the two-way all-round unicorn that is Shohei Ohtani.

Black South African Batting with Dan Gallan: <p>This episode Dan Gallan comes on to talk through why South Africa have managed to find many top black South African bowlers, but no batsmen. Although he does point out that failure with the bat has started to unite races in South Africa of recent times. We discuss quotas (and targets within targets), racial bias in selection and coaching, science and how batsmen need more equipment to develop. As Dan says, you can't learn to cover drive before you have a bat.</p> <p>-</p> <p>To support the podcast please go to our Patreon page. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/user?u=32090121">https://www.patreon.com/user?u=32090121</a>. </p> <p>If you like this podcast visit the YouTube page <a href="https://www.youtube.com/jarrodkimberyt">https://www.youtube.com/jarrodkimberyt</a>. </p> <p>You can find Dan Gallan on twitter at <a href="https://twitter.com/danielgallan">https://twitter.com/danielgallan</a> and his piece on this s by Red Inker With Jarrod Kimber
