The Howie Games

"I had to buy my own whites for my first Test"  Allan Border is my sporting hero.  From when I was little fella playing backyard cricket, right up to today, where I am privileged enough to make his coffee at Fox Cricket.  This ep tells the story of the life and times of one of Australian cricket's true greats. It also features my A.B scrapbook, which goes back 30 years, highlighting all sorts of stuff A.B had never seen, or has long forgotten.  A.B has achieved it all in the world of cricket, yet speaks with the humility of a man who has achieved nothing.  Allan Border is a legend ❤️  ------------ Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a fun one! I whip out the Allan Border's old school player profile from my childhood scrapbook – so this is A.B in 1980 v A.B in 2021. ------------ Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"I had to field in front of bay 13 without a name on my shirt!"  Jimmy Anderson has taken more wickets than any other pace bowler in the history of Test cricket. The man is a gun.  Jimmy’s story is one of perseverance, endless hours of practice honing his craft, a genuine love for the game, and longevity previously unheard of for a world-class quick. If you want to achieve success in your field, this is an episode for you.  A word of warning for Aussie fans…If you wish to go to the cricket this summer and get stuck into Jimmy over the fence, you may wanna turn this podcast off right now.  Because, by listening, you will become a big fan of Jimmy. He is a lovely bloke, and you may even find yourself, heaven forbid, cheering for him this summer!  ------------- Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"I went out to my car and teared up."  Jamie Whincup is statistically the goat of supercars. Most poles, most wins, most titles.  Yet aside from his deeds on track, the public knows very little about Jamie.  What makes him tick, what motivates him, how has he achieved such sustained success and what difficulties has he faced?  This episode and Jamie’s cracking new book "Drive Of A Lifetime", which you can get below, hopefully answers a few of these questions.  Jamie Whincup. A fella that just gets it done.  https://www.penguin.com.au/books/jamie-whincup-9781761044885 ❤️ ------------- Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
