Get It Whacked! The Macclesfield Cricket Club Podcast: Recent Episodes
Macclesfield Cricket Club
An ECB award winning cricket podcast featuring players and characters from Macclesfield Cricket Club, who play in the Cheshire cricket leagues in England. Macclesfield Cricket Club also has a long association with various professional players and coaches from the UK and Australia and we look forward to bringing them on the podcast soon!
In September 2020, Get It Whacked was the recepient of a NatWest OSCA for proactive leadership in the community.
Today's guest recently made his international debut for Bulgaria at the ICC associate nations T20 competition in Sophia. A product of the Macclesfield academy, he captained his age group during his junior years before making his deubt in senior cricket. Something of a perennial student, he is guilty by association for his Mum's sandwiches. Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Aswad Khan.
I would also like to take the time to thank Aswad very publicly for not only a fabulous podcast discussing his cricketing career, but for wanting to talk about the recent scandal at Yorkshire Cricket Club involving Azeem Rafiq and the subsequent issues of racism, not only at Yorkshire, but across the whole game. Aswad is a proud British Pakistani and it takes an incredible amount of courage and candour to tackle these issues so openly, discussing not only issues that present themselves in every day life, but very much his own personal experiences.
Today's episode is the next in our series of 'Around the county' featuring 2 gentlemen who have appeared for Nantwich Cricket Club and combined 500+ times.
However, before we go any further, a slight caveat that this episode was recorded in March of 2021 so the time lines you're hearing in relation to the start of a season are for the one just gone...!
That being said, it gives me great pleasure to welcome Mr Ryan Brown and Mr Jimmy Warrington to the podcast! Enjoy.

A true modern day cricketer, he represents Nottinghamshire in all 3 formats of the game, together with various T20 franchises around the world. Capable of playing 360 degrees around the ground as a batsman, his Uncle Tony almost certainly still has him in his back pocket when it comes to garden cricket, Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Tom Moores.
Today, we welcome back the self-styled local podcast celebrity and star of episode 7, Pete Langley, to talk about the clubs fledgling Instagram account. Not content with a ‘normal’ episode, Langers of course wanted to do something a little different, so we have a very special mystery guest for the 2nd half of the podcast. Enjoy.

To say this individual has a long and rich history with Macclesfield Cricket club would be an understatement! A man of many roles, he’s been a 1st team stalwart, opening bowler, fluent batsmen, head of academy, coach and just about everything in-between. To say he has had an influence on many of the best young cricketers the club has produced is probably doing him a disservice. Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Stewart Garnett

Today's episode features a true Macclesfield Cricket Club legend. Known to most as ‘The General’ he is responsible for countless funny stories, sledges and drinking games! Instantly recognisable by his distinctive laugh, he delights in tormenting his prey, both by the fine arts of flight and guile, and his acid whit, no pun intended. He’s always happy to put the bunnies in the hutch, Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Stephen Whittingham.

Today, we welcome yet another member of the Moores cricketing family dynasty. A former 2nd team captain, he is held in high regard for not only his sledging, but for his trademark shot, which he once famously ignored Khalid Sawas over and won a game for the 1st team with it anyway. He’s a part time cricketer and a full time sweeper, Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Andrew Moores. Enjoy.
Today's podcast features another first for Get it whacked! A brotherly podcast, direct from the weird hills of Derbyshire. Lots of excellent stories about their time in the Derbyshire & Cheshire Cricket League, together with their respective times at Kings as captain, and now finally at Macclesfield. Dan & Tom Isherwood, enjoy.
Today, we welcome the first of our 'external' guests to the podcast. This man is a former professional cricketer with Middlesex. He has played a lot of cricket, both in England and Australia, and has gone on to develop a reputation as a forward thinking coach, along side developing his brand, Cricket Mentoring. Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Tom Scollay.
Today's guest is the next Aussie in our series of former over seas pros. A self confessed owner of several dodgy hair styles, he lit up the Cheshire County Cricket league after a somewhat auspicious start! After his time at Macc, he went on to a professional contract with Tasmania and has played in several seasons of the Big Bash League. It's Mr. Evan Gulbis. Enjoy
Today's guest is another former first team captain. He grew up playing his cricket at Parkside, before making the move over to Macclesfield. Infamous for some of his antics off the field as well as on it, he moved away from Macclesfield 7 years ago, but is never too far away from Macc in spirit. Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Ben Morrison.
The big man is finally here! He has been in demand for a long time and is mentioned virtually every episode! A first rate story teller, he even treats us to a little song! Joined by a few surprise guests, it's time for Karl David Burgerss. Enjoy.
Feral is word used quite often at Macclesfield cricket club, and no individual can lay claim to the king of feral, other than todays guest! He has had a long and well travelled career and now calls Macc home. Get your red bull at the ready, it's John Birchall! Enjoy.
Today's guest was the overseas player for Macclesfield during the most successful 2 years of the clubs history. Having helped the club win both the league and cup double in successive seasons, he went on to have storied career as a professional in Australia, culminating in his call up to the Australian national side during the 1997 ashes tour of England. Since then, he has established himself as a coach with various teams and franchises around the world. Widely regarded as one of the foremost glovemen of his generation, and described by his great mate, Shane Warne, as probably the best wicket keeper up to the stumps that I’ve ever seen in my time, Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Darren Berry.
Today we welcome one of the most loved players at Macclesfield Cricket Club to the podcast. He belongs to a veritable cricketing family dynasty and has many stories from over the years to share with us, together with addressing some recent inflammatory comments made by a recent guest on the podcast...!
We welcome another of our former Aussie's to todays podcast. Not content with one year, he saw fit to return for a second and managed to pick up the captaincy along the way. He has a dark and painful secret he needs to finally get off his chest and he sets the record straight about pineapple vodka! Enjoy.
