Gday Prairians and Welcome to Club Prairie Fire, Season 9 episode 9. We are super fond of tequila, Tabasco and the Duckworth Lewis Stern System. This episode I am calling… “Vaughany’s prediction was right… at least on our show.”
That’s right folks, 3-1 the mighty Australians have defeated India to claim the border Gavaskar trophy and our super soothsayer Michael “the 5th day sucks” Vaughan predicted it. What he didn’t predict was the epic spice that the series and in particular the 3 day, yes your heard it right, 3 day 5th test would toss up.
Not that long ago people were saying test match cricket was dull and boring, well hasn’t that turned around. Find another sport where 19 year olds with poorly formed patchy moustaches pick fights with the best bowler and the once best batsmen in the world. Let us say it loud and proud…Test match Cricket is back baby!

Seasons Greetings and welcome to Club Prairie Fire, Season 9 Episode 8. We are the ultimate lovers of tequila, tabasco and the Duckworth Lewis Stern System. This episode we are calling, “Everyone just chill out, It’s bloody Christmas”
Tensions are at an all time high here in Australia, with a series poised on a knife’s edge at one test a piece, Aussie quick Josh Hazlewood sustaining another injury, The Professor, Ashwin’s shock retirement out of nowhere, a gaggle of Aussie Journos in Melbourne who had the nerve not to understand Jadeja’s Hindi in a presser, and most dramatic of all, King Kohli, getting into it with the media throng outside the airport…goodness me pour me a bloody stiff sherry!
So much Drama to talk through so sit back, fill your plate with Turkey and all the trimmings and enjoy Club Prairie Fire!

Hello and welcome to Club Prairie Fire, Season 9 episode 7. We are BFF’s of tequila, tabasco and the Duckworth Lewis Stern System. This episode we are calling, “Good to be winners”
That’s right folks, on this humble little podcast populated by 2 Englishmen, Vaughany and Ollie, and 2 Aussies, Gilly and The Professor, we support two teams, the Green and Gold Goliaths that are Australia and the Three Roaring Lions of Mighty England and this week, for both sides, they did it in a canter. Thats right, we've got all the news and views from a ten Wicket Victory for the Aussies and a 323 Run Drubbing for the Poms.
We dive head first into the Adelaide test where it was absolute madness, wickets were falling first ball, bowlers were sending batsmen who scored run a ball centuries and beer snakes were stealing the show. Also, we take a good look over at the Basin Reserve where a pair of Yorkshiremen went at over 5 runs an over to ensure the english lads could hit the links on both days 4 and 5.
As always, nothing too serious and plenty of cricket banter, this is Club Prairie Fire.
