‘King of the Bash’: Podcast doco look at Simmons’ stellar season | cricket.com.au

Cricket.com.au’s new podcast offering explores Craig Simmons’ record-breaking debut Big Bash season

Episode two of cricket.com.au’s landmark new podcast series, Stories After Stumps, takes an in-depth look at one of the BBL’s greatest stories.

Craig Simmons was a 31-year-old club cricketer without a professional contract when BBL|03 began. A wild month of cricket later, he’d hammered two centuries and guided the Perth Scorchers to a breakthrough maiden title.

From smashing the world’s fastest bowlers, to smashing down Coca Cola and Doritos, this is Simmons’ story.
