Guerilla Origin Stories I - Cats, Stats & Hats

In the first of an occasional series, this week we're going back in time to where it all began for some of our most loved and most interesting Guerillas. When did they first watch and play the game? Who were their first cricketing heroes? How did they get the cricket bug? Were they bitten by a radioactive Peter Such?

Host Nakul Pande breaks off from mythologising Lance Klusener long enough to hear tales of reluctant Antipodean touring teams, a grandfather's child-quietening tactics spectacularly backfiring and facing down Cameroon fast bowlers on a tricky pitch from:

Former meerkatologist, current statistician and forever Paul Collingwood stan Dr Katy Scott

Al-fresco scorer and intrepid worldwide cricket coach Jules Farman

Millinery connoisseur and cricket's most devoted Jamaican-Irish Hampshire fan Roger McCann
