  • Episode 45 Terry Eaton - Legends of the Regions #1
    May 31 2026

    We kick off an exciting new chapter of Out on the Paddock with the debut of our latest segment, “Legends of the Regions.” And for our inaugural episode, we couldn’t go past one of country cricket’s true icons — Albany’s own Terry Eaton.

    Join host Rob Marshall as he dives into Terry’s remarkable journey through WA Country Cricket — a career that spanned multiple associations, was shaped by inspiration from one of Australia’s greatest Test players, and left an unforgettable mark on the game.

    But Terry’s legacy goes far beyond the boundary rope. In his post-playing days, his passion for cricket continues to shine through his tireless commitment to volunteering and nurturing the sport across the Great Southern Region.

    A story of dedication, humility, and true love for the game — this is one not to miss. Tune in and celebrate a genuine legend of regional cricket.

  • Episode 44 - The Miracle at Dalyellup
    Apr 17 2026

    This episode continues our 2025/26 season wrap of WA Regional Cricket Grand Finals — a season that can genuinely only be described as delivering the miraculous.

    For the second consecutive year in the Bunbury & Districts Cricket Association Men’s A Grade competition, Dalyellup Cricket Club found themselves face‑to‑face with the undisputed powerhouse of BDCA cricket: the Colts Cricket Club. The stage was set in late March 2026 for a two‑day Grand Final that, for almost every moment, followed a script cricket fans know all too well.

    Just like the 2025 decider, Colts appeared in complete control from almost the opening exchanges. Across two long days, the match seemed to drift inevitably toward yet another Colts premiership — dominance reaffirmed, fate sealed.

    But cricket has a way of refusing to follow the script.

    What unfolded late on Day 2 transformed certainty into chaos, and defeat into disbelief. In the space of just a handful of overs, the entire match — and its legacy — was turned upside down in one of the most extraordinary finishes WA regional cricket has ever seen.

    Today’s guest, Mitch Boyle, had a front‑row seat to the drama as Dalyellup’s wicketkeeper. His first‑hand account of those heart‑stopping moments pulls you right into the middle of the action and is nothing short of gripping. It’s inspiring, emotional, and a reminder of why we all love this game.

    This episode will transport listeners back to their own unforgettable matches — those moments when belief overcame the odds. As we relive every crucial twist, we unpack a finish that will be talked about for decades to come.

    Welcome to The Miracle at Dalyellup.

  • Episode 43 - West Yorkrakine CC Miracle in the Bush
    Apr 5 2026
    Each season in WA Country Cricket, there are invariably some amazing finishes in competitions all around WA and often Grand Finals that can only be described as "miracle matches" or perhaps "the great escape". Season 2025/26 has produced more of these "miracle" finishes in Grand Finals than normal and the next two episodes of Out on the Paddock are devoted to capturing a couple of these classic results. This includes the emotions on the field, the twists and the turns of games that appeared to be heading one way, only to suddenly and unexpectedly lurch the other. This first listen of one of these Grand Finals that will be remembered by many for years to come, pitted perennial Wyalkatchem Cricket Association high finishers, Cougars CC versus a proud Club that recently celebrated 100 years of existence, but one that had endured a long drought since its last premiership, the West Yorkrakine CC. How this two day GF played out, is well worth a listen. We also cover some other close Grand Finals from around the Wheatbelt Region in this episode.
