After England secured a Test series win in New Zealand, with Jacob Bethel taking a lot of the plaudits, “The Grumbler” (Richard Clarke) and I discuss whether England’s recent policy of plucking inexperienced cricketers and putting them straight into the Test side is sending a poor message to those players putting the hard yards in on the county circuit?
There is news from around the cricket world, including England’s women and the latest comings and goings at the counties. Plus listeners give their top cricketing memories of 2024 and there are Christmas messages from some of our guests over the past year.
Music this week:
Black Sabbath – “Paranoid”
Soft Cell – “Tainted Love”
