Welcome to Pear-shaped, the mini pod bringing you extra laughs, arguments, and general nonsense!
There was no time for AOB during the Two Pods In One episode, so this month's Pear-shaped is our discussion about picturesque grounds! What is the threshold for a ground to be classed as picturesque? What is worst thing we have seen at a cricket ground? You know, all the important questions...

It's episode two of the season and this one is a pod of two halves!
After a run of poor performances in red ball cricket, the boys gather in Pete's kitchen to discuss our batting woes.
With the Pears then deciding to beat the Foxes, Jim and Pete return to the kitchen to discuss a much needed victory and end the pod with a healthy dose of positivity.
Sport is great! Isn't it?

Welcome to Pear-shaped, a new mini pod bringing you extra laughs, arguments, and general nonsense!
During The Austerity Pod, the boys disused some daft football phrases and whether they could apply to cricket. Can a bowler take the perfect hat-trick? Can a team park the bus? What is the cricketing equivalent of a cold wet night in Stoke? You know, all the important questions...

It's On A Pear 3.0!
The boys are back in a new location to talk all things cricket. In this episode, we discuss the winter news, ins and outs, and any major rule changes.
We also review an easy win against Derby and incorrectly (it turns out) predict the match against Durham.
If that wasn't enough, there is also a rap and a football focused AOB.

It's the final episode (almost) of season two and it's broadcast from New Road!
As the pears wrap-up an easy victory against the league leaders, the boys are back to hand out their end of season awards.
We also have some player interviews, discuss more ECB proposals, and bring you the final Worcestershire Watch of 2022. If that wasn't enough, Daz tells us about an interesting weekend and Pete becomes and evil genius...
Our thanks to Joe Tromans from WCCC for helping us with this episode.
See you in December for another pear shaped quiz!

It's the August episode of On A Pear and, sadly, we are back to discuss another difficult tournament.
Aside from the Royal London One-Day Cup performances, we discuss recent updates from the ECB, some ins and outs at New Road, and the new Director of Cricket role.
We also rave about the Women's Rapids, discuss possible contenders for the Chaminda Vase (our player of the season award), Pete and Jim get a bit grumpy, and Daz tells us about his recent batting performances...
