About this listen

Cricket legend Sir Ian Botham and rugby icon Sir Bill Beaumont team up for 'Old Boys New Balls!' — the podcast where two old mates swap tales from the dressing room, chew over the big issues in sport and throw in a few unexpected curveballs along the way.


From glory days on tour to how sport has changed, from larger-than-life teammates to life after the final whistle, no subject is off limits. Sometimes serious, often irreverent, always honest — it’s sport as you’ve never heard it before.


Join Beefy and Bill — plus an all-star line-up of amazing guests — for stories, banter, and a fresh take on the games they love.

    With Beefy down under, it's an opportunity to catch up with old friends and Ian's relationship with former Australia captain Allan Border goes a long way back.


    From rivalries on the field to a great friendship off it, Allan reveals why living with Parkinsons disease isn't holding him back.


    We of course have to discuss the latest from the Ashes, but you'll be pleased to hear the conversation quickly turns to happier times!

    6. Brett Lee: Edgbaston defeat was my favourite Ashes match
    Nov 19 2025

    With all eyes on the first Ashes test, Bill and Ian are joined by former Australia fast bowling legend Brett Lee.


    From his memories of the 2005 epic series (and what did Freddie Flintoff say to him?), to the art of being a fast bowler - AND how he ended up jamming with Mick Jagger, Robbie Williams, Asha Bhosle and starring in Bollywood movies!


    Brett also lifts the lid on his rivalry and friendship with Shoaib Akhtar and.... Piers Morgan.


    Plus of course we look ahead to the first Test in Perth this weekend.
