The golden summer of 2005 is among us! As we build us to the 2005 Ashes, let's relive the tests against Bangladesh and the tri-series with Australia, from Pietersen's blistering take-down of the Aussies at Bristol, a stunning upset for Bangladesh over Australia, to Paul Collingwood's leaping catch, all made for a fitting last-ever tri-series in England.

Join Graeme and Andrew as they delve into that noughties cricket staple: a post-test-series 7 match ODI series. With a dire and tired England, one man holds England up in the series against South Africa, as we see Kevin Pietersen come into his own. We also discuss the most pedestrian man of the match performance ever, Trescothick's medium pacers, children of noughties cricketers and a round up of cricket around the world: Slinga Malinga, the rise of Dhoni and a India vs Pakistan classic.

The 2004/05 South Africa vs England Test Series is surely one of the great test series, with twists and turns and major contributions from many players, some legends like Kallis, Pollock, Trescothick, and some newer names like De Villiers, Steyn and Strauss. Join the Mind the Windows Tino team, Graeme and Andrew, for a discussion and retrospective on this series, as well the plethora of other cricket going on in the world at this time.

Thursday is noughties cricket day! Join Graeme and Andrew as they delve into the 2004 Champions Trophy, with wet weather and damp conditions, who will win this drab tournament? Also a tour we'd never heard off, Pietersen's debut and ICC red tape.

Join us as we delve into the world of noughties cricketers who delved into politics, from Monty Panesar and the Workers Party, Darren Gough and the No2AV campaign, plus noughties cricketers from around the world like Gambhir, Kaif, Langer and their political careers. We discuss the worst cricketing analogy used inthe world of politics, plus Clem Attlee's ticket tape machine, Henry Olonga's view on printer toner and David Cameron's inability to say Collingwood's name.

Like all the best podcast, we spend a large amount of time discussing Ed Balls.

We take another trip down noughties memory lane to relive the West Indies' 2004 tour of England. We recall Rob Key's double ton, Flintoff's golden run of form, Giles' resurgence, Trescothick's twin tons and Strauss's continued dream debut summer. We encounter a fresh-faced Dwayne Bravo for the first time, as well as meeting belligerent Chris Gayle and objurgate Shivnarine Chanderpaul and iconic Brian Lara in his last tour of England.

Graeme and Andrew also ponder a Beer XI, the world's first international T20 and some young guns making waves in country cricket - one called Cook and the other called Bell.

Join us (Graeme and Andrew) for episode three of our nostalgic look at England cricket in the noughties with a look back to England's famous tour of the West Indies in early 2004. There's Lara's 400*, Harmisons' 7-12 but also time to discuss Steve Tikolo's academic career, Colin De Grandhomme (in his pre-mullet years), and Alan Shearer.
