Two Pricks At The Ashes [VIDEO]

Two cricket enthusiasts are following the Ashes a little more closely than the rest of us. They're using the power of social media and 'vlogging' (video + blogging) to promote their series, 'Two Pricks At The Ashes', where they travel around the stadiums, chatting to sweary fans, parodying the players and soaking up the vibe. Stellar idea. [VIDEO]

‘Two Pricks At The Ashes’ captures the vibe of the historic battle for the biggest, little trophy in tremendous style. Sam Collins, is a 28-year-old freelance journalist and The Wisden Cricketer’s man at the Ashes. Alongside him is a trusty JAFA and the two banter about each day’s play, the big calls and the glaring errors. Here is the video for yesterday, where KP stole the show with a swashbuckling double-hundred and a Herculean shriek when he brought up his milestone. The pair also pay tribute to Alastair Cook’s reptilian qualities and get various ‘reax’ from fans around the ground. Innovative stuff.
