This is Through the Pickets, a podcast proudly brought to you by the New Zealand Cricket Players Association where we showcase our members interests, achievements and experiences either side of the white picket fence, with more of a lens on their off-field endeavours.

This is the last episode of Through the Pickets for 2022 as we will be taking a bit of a break for the summer and we will return in the new year for season 2. One of the question we ask our members on the podcast is do you have any funny, odd or unique stories you would love to share - and we have had a few crackers. So what we’ve done is taken a few of the more memorable ones and put them all together in a Holiday Special for your listening pleasure - hope you enjoy.
