'It's about passion, not fashion'
Do pink and beige clash, wonder the Beige Brigade, while planning their accessories for the first day/night Test. Also: Rosco goes to Disney World

Off White Thunder, Kev and the Godfather are planning their trip to Adelaide, but Boof and Mitch are not getting them excited. There's some follow-up on the world sauna championships, the prequel to another extraordinary epistle from cricket-lover Akseli the Titan. Rico (aka the Tai Tapu Express) is in touch with tales of Rosco, electronic wickets and lower-level club cricket. Muzz stumps us with his duck question and staggers us with his Rice-Hadlee blast from the past. Dennis Lillee's BMW, Michael Kasprowicz's Shihad fetish and Kev's foray to Elstow are also in the mix. Violence Corner is with Kerry Walmsley and a Bangladeshi journalist. And Ms Mouskori is remixed to put you to sleep at the end.

Off White Thunder returns from his foray to the back wall of the MCG. We try not to talk about the 3-2 series defeat at the hands of England, and we delve into the life and times of the Demis Roussos of Northern Districts spin bowling, Cliff "Dog" Dickeson. Our Lappish mate Akseli is in touch with a pair of epic emails, and Kev marvels at the gingerness of the cricket overnight in Durham.

Kev, Off White Thunder and The Godfather rendezvous in Karori wearing cards on their heads for Episode 206 and are staggered at the unreasonableness of Mark Reason after the mind-blowingly amazing win at Leeds. Emails From Around the World feature a half-Latvian third man, our mate Brett from the US of A, a brickbat and a bouquet from Michael, some excellent questions from Muzz and Mitchell, and some pithy comments from a man called Akshunna. The Godfather spots Martin Saggers looking a bit vampirey in Leicestershire too. Email the chaps with your observations, nonsense, questions and thoughts at byc@beigebrigade.co.nz

Kev, Off White Thunder and The Godfather rendezvous in Karori for Episode 205. The Godfather is gloating in a disappointed way about the loss at Lord's. Emails From Around the World land from a Finnish Zimbabwean fan, Lubbock in Texas, and Muzza, who is interested in talking about boots. Reg unleashes with a cascade of World Cup statistics, and Russ is off the long run-up about the Future Tours Programme.

Beige Brigade
18-May-2015
Kev, Off White Thunder and The Godfather reconvene in Karori for this episode - all are excited about the looming Lord's Test. Two of the lads think the Poms will be thrashed by the Black Caps. One does not. Emails From Around the World land from the LNZCC, a Finnish West Indian fan, Plump Thunder and Muzza. Mike M unleashes a barrage of players who managed to devastate New Zealand, despite not actually being that good. Kev relives the 1999 New Zealand v England Lord's Test. And we can't remember the name of the new English pace bowler - its Woodforthetrees by the way. Email the chaps with your observations, nonsense, questions and thoughts at byc@beigebrigade.co.nz.

16-Mar-2015
Kev, Off White Thunder and the Godfather regather themselves after an epic two weeks of cricket in New Zealand, including a squeaky-bum match against the Bangers and Mash. Kev is pro-Australia, inexplicably, and there is a lot of talk about the Road to Melbourne. The boys also discuss the greatest catches of all time, Peter Kennedy gets a mention in Muzz's Emails From Around the World, and we pop our heads inside the Alternative Commentary Collective for a moment too.

The Beige Brigade gasp at the home support, discuss Shapoor Zadran, the Eden Park collapse and technically ugly players
Beige Brigade
06-Mar-2015
The boys are off their faces after the incredible New Zealand wins over England by a million and over Australia by one. They are stunned that Kiwis are going to cricket - and then actually watching it. Kev is happy that things haven't been in the gutter in terms of on-field behaviour, Jase reckons we can win this thing, and The Godfather has a lot of love for "The Blue Tiger" Shapoor Some Sugar On Me. There are Emails From Around the World, including the return of The Regular Correspondent. Ugly players are discussed - technical not aesthetic ugliness.

The boys are in World Cup mode: ridiculously excited, gagging to get along to the next match and keen to say a few thank yous to everyone who has helped them get to the 200th episode unscathed. There are Emails From Around the World, an incredible gift is unwrapped after arriving intact from Scotland, and there is some trepidation about what looms for the men in black hats.

Beige Brigade
10-Feb-2015
Kev returns to join Off White and The Godfather and the trio yarn about Clifton County Cricket Club in the Hawke's Bay, the wave of optimism continuing to wash over the Kiwi cricketing world like a tsunami, World Cup commentary shenanigans, Zimbabwe chaos and the weirdness of Phil Tufnell's love life.
They also get stuck into some Emails From Around the World where they talk board games, composite World Cup teams and Mathew Sinclair.
Violence Corner is in Texas.
