Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

England's 'Toxic Tour' Is Over. What's Next?
Q: How can Stokes be angry with anyone after encouraging this play style?
The pressure is on Stokes too, as the players are acting in a way they were encouraged to, showing a disconnect between guidance and behavior.
England's 'Toxic Tour' Is Over. What's Next?
Q: Do you think the culture on that tour has been toxic?
It's hard to label it directly at Stokes, a lot must share the blame. The intentions might be right, but it's been misguided and needs tweaking.
Stuart Law on Nepal’s Historic Win Over the West Indies
Q: What is that pathway like for the men's side to get into the 50 over and the T20 World Cups?
The T20 World Cup qualifiers are next, and we need to perform well to qualify, whereas the pathway to the 50-over World Cup is tougher as we need to maintain our win rate.
Stuart Law on Nepal’s Historic Win Over the West Indies
Q: Is their relaxed outlook on life having an impact on yours?
Yes, my relaxed outlook is having an impact on theirs more, as I am trying to calm their mindset of 'more is more' to avoid burnout.
Jason Warne on Shane's Legacy
Q: Is it a family-led initiative?
Jason explains that the Shane Warne Legacy was a family idea aimed at continuing Shane's charitable work and making a difference in people's lives.
