After a fat New Zealander, a thin New Zealander
About this episode
Season 20, Episode 24: The ECB enclave elects their new leader, and they won’t make the same mistake this time. They jump in the DeLorean to go back to the Root-ure as captain, whilst we get knocked down by the dual feathers of match-fixing on the T10 circuit and revelations of a drink culture within cricket. Perth Scorchers are fielding a team made up almost entirely of players who haven’t played for the franchise, some seismic news from Pakistan domestic cricket, and Jasprit Bumrah with more injury woes. Bharat Sundaresan joins Geoff Lemon.
