Welcome back to the Sunday Service with Church and Vickers - we hope you’ve all had a peaceful cricketing week.

This week, Mark sits down with Bryony Smith to discuss her career, last summer, and her aims for the season to come.

Bryony lifted the Vitality T20 Blast trophy last year - as the first professional captain of the Surrey women’s team.

She made her Surrey debut in 2014 and made 60* in her second game against Yorkshire. She quickly became one of the first names on the team sheet and has played 11 times for England, also playing in The Hundred, the WBBL, and the Super Smash.

Also on the episode, Church and Vickers continue their new segment - “Whose cricket book is this?” - and Churchy delivers a Valentine’s Day special sermon all about love.

A huge thank you to Bryony Smith for joining us on this week's episode, and we wish her all the best for the upcoming season.

Another big thank you goes to our friends at Newbery Cricket, who have announced a SECRET SPECIAL prize for the months of February and March.

Genuinely, this is one that you won't want to miss out on - with hints of; classic, iconic, and 'seriously good' wrapped into one fantastic prize.

Welcome back to the Sunday Service with Church and Vickers - we hope you’ve all had a peaceful cricketing week.

This week, England's Young Lions were, regrettably, 'Sooryavanshi-ed'.

But, with Churchy spinning his web on Test Match Special and Hector trying to spin one of his own from the ground, we thought it prudent to touch on the Under-19 World Cup as a whole.

To help with this, we hear a snippet from Hector's interview with a young Thomas Rew - captain extraordinaire and future star - at training, less than 24-hours before the big finale.

Thomas' rise to cricketing fame has been well documented, spending time with the England Lions and helping the senior team prepare for the Ashes at Lilac Hill. A recent stint with the Paarl Royals at the SA20 almost over-qualifies him for the World Cup, but the captain was happy to chat about future ambitions, the experience of World Cup cricket, and a bit about his teammates.

Also on the episode, Church and Vickers continue their new segment - “Whose cricket book is this?” - and Churchy delivers a sermon comparing the Super Bowl to the super Vitality Blast.

A huge thank you to Thomas Rew for joining us on this week's episode - a genuinely lovely guy and an even better cricketer. Although England's World Cup campaign fell at the final hurdle, every single player has shown some incredible promise.

Another big thank you goes to our friends at Newbery Cricket, who have announced a SECRET SPECIAL prize for the months of February and March.

Genuinely, this is one that you won't want to miss out on - with hints of; classic, iconic, and 'seriously good' wrapped into one fantastic prize.

Welcome back to the Sunday Service with Church and Vickers - we hope you’ve all had a peaceful cricketing week.

This week, Hector is joined by an ICC Hall-of-Famer. He captained Zimbabwe and is widely regarded as their greatest player of all time - and with 12 Test match hundreds, 27 Test 50s, and a record breaking unbeaten double-hundred against India, it's hard to argue otherwise.

Within his first two years as England's Head Coach, he had won two Ashes (home and away), took the Test side to number one in the world, and won England's first ever global ICC trophy at the 2010 T20 World Cup.

Currently commentating on the U19 World Cup, Andy Flower joined Hector at Takashinga Sports Club to discuss the state of Zimbabwe's Cricket, his new role in the Hundred, and his thoughts on recent World Test Championship proposals.

Also on the episode, Church and Vickers continue their new segment - “Whose cricket book is this?” - and Churchy delivers a sermon all about bells.

A huge thank you to Andy Flower for joining us on this week's episode - one of the greatest minds and highest achievers in the game, and extremely generous with his time.

Another big thank you goes to our friends at Newbery Cricket, whose pair of Newbery 360 Shoes were awarded to one lucky winners of January's competition.

Watch out next week as we announce the incredible prize up for grabs in February...
