Show notes
England completed a 3–0 whitewash over Pakistan—but the series created some new selection questions.
Sanjay and Geraint name their winners and losers. Has Jordan Cox put Jamie Smith under pressure? Have Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue secured their places? And where does the emergence of Cox and Dan Lawrence leave Jacob Bethell?
Charlie Hartley joins us for the first Would You Rather: survive five overs against Brett Lee at the WACA or Shane Warne on a fifth-day pitch?
Who Am I? returns, while Geraint’s Goat is the lack of a reserve day for the Women’s One-Day Cup League Two semi-final.
We also discuss the County Championship title and relegation battles, Andrew Flintoff’s appearance at Daniel Bell-Drummond’s testimonial event, Kevin Pietersen’s England return and whether specialist openers are becoming obsolete.
