Why don’t they have trials to see if your in form get some international players to put them through their paces
Become a laughable podcast, no editing already makes it very amateurish then the completely pro India commentary around the T20 WC is very unbecoming. Don’t listen if you want objective analysis
Really like the podcast - but, good God, the unannounced advertising - Betfair, Nord VPN, TNT - is almost like watching a tawdry 80s American romcom full of obvious product placement.
Keep the adverts out of the editorial. I know they pay you money for this legalised lying but your integrity is worth more.
Really like the show, followed Hughes as a player in the 80s & got all his books, both are good with the way they come across.The show about Field of Dreams is fantastic, if one lad stays straight & is a good honest person it’s success.

Just because England’s captain and players, supported by members of the British media, disagree with the decision and pr... more
