Скачать или смотреть England's Drinking Culture: Off-Field Habits, On-Field Consequences | The KimAppa show EP 42

English cricket has long treated drinking culture as part tradition, part team bonding, and part pressure release. But in a modern, high-performance environment, is that culture quietly doing more damage than good?

On this episode of The KimAppa Show, Jarrod Kimber and Robin Uthappa unpack whether alcohol-centric team cultures can become toxic — blurring professionalism, affecting preparation, and potentially stunting player development. They explore where the line lies between camaraderie and complacency, and why elite sport increasingly demands sharper off-field standards.

The discussion also touches on the recently reported incident involving Harry Brook at a bar, including the presence of a bouncer, and how moments like these quickly become lightning rods for wider debates about accountability, scrutiny, and the pressures faced by young stars in the public eye.

Rather than judging individuals, Jarrod and Robin zoom out to examine what these flashpoints reveal about leadership, expectations, and whether English cricket’s long-romanticised “boys’ club” culture still fits the demands of the modern game.
