Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 3: The art of batting and why Bazball was "crap"
Q: Did you have any tricks to keep your mind switched on at the crease?
Boycott explains he trained with focused practice, bat by the clock, and used mental preparation to stay locked in, including limiting practice time and maintaining a steady routine to avoid complacency.
Episode 3: The art of batting and why Bazball was "crap"
Q: What makes a great batsman?
A great batsman combines technique, concentration, patience, courage, and determination, recognizing fast bowling as the toughest challenge and adapting play to the match situation rather than pursuing reckless aggression.
Episode 2: England fallouts and one hundred hundreds
Q: Can you take us back to the moment you approached the 100 in Headingley and describe the mental steps you took to stay in control?
I blocked out the noise, stuck to a planned method, watched the bowler closely, and trusted my rhythm; even when the crowd pressed in, I remained patient, waiting for the right ball and exploiting the gaps when they appeared.
Episode 2: England fallouts and one hundred hundreds
Q: What stands out most from your overseas tours with Yorkshire and England, and how did those trips shape you as a cricketer?
The travel, the intensity of playing far from home, and the different conditions taught me adaptability and mental strength; I learned to stay focused amid distractions and to use those varied experiences to tailor my mindset for England tours.
