• Following On - Ben Stokes Announces SHOCK Retirement As England Head Towards Series Defeat!
    Jun 28 2026

    Jon Norman is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison and the former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney to look back at Day 4 of the third and final Test between England and New Zealand at Trent Bridge, with England closing on 103-4, needing an unlikely 270 more runs to win.


    Why has Ben Stokes decided to retire now? Is there possibly any way back for him if there is change with the current regime? How will Ben Stokes be remembered? How does Stokes' retirement impact the Test side moving forwards? Who can possibly replace him as England captain? Were England's tactics with the bat on the 4th day a poor look for Brendon McCullum and his team? Where will this victory rank for New Zealand among their best away series wins?

  • Following On - Are New Zealand Favourites To Win The Series As England Toil At Trent Bridge?!
    Jun 27 2026

    Jon Norman is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison and the former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney to look back at Day 3 of the third Test between England and New Zealand. New Zealand closed on 120-3, leading by 204 runs. Are New Zealand now favourites to win this Test & the series after an 11-wicket day? How impressive has Zak Foulkes been since coming in as an injury replacement? Is Nathan Smith one of the most under-rated bowlers in Test Cricket? How valuable is it for New Zealand to have a bowler like Will O'Rourke in their attack? How will the pitch behave as we head into Day 4? Has Rachin Ravindra learnt from his first innings dismissal?

  • Following On - Duckett's Century Helps England Fight Back On Day 2 At Trent Bridge!
    Jun 26 2026

    Jon Norman is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison and the former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney to look back at Day 2 of the third Test between England and New Zealand at Trent Bridge, with England closing on 223-2, still trailing by 215 runs. Has Ben Stokes yet again shown his worth to this England side after helping dismiss New Zealand quickly on Day 2? How important was it for Ben Duckett to return to form with a 7th Test century? Will New Zealand feel hard done by after a couple of controversial third umpire decisions? Do we need specialist third umpires in Test Cricket? How will the pitch be viewed with just 12 wickets falling in the opening 2 days?

  • Following On - Have New Zealand GIFTED England An Opportunity After Latham & Conway's Centuries?!
    Jun 25 2026

    Jon Norman is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison and the former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney to look back at Day 1 of the third and final Test between England and New Zealand at Trent Bridge, with New Zealand closing on 361-4. Have New Zealand left the door for open after losing 4 wickets in the evening session? Do they need to score at least 500 to avoid any chance of losing this Test? Will we see a result in this Test Match despite the wicket being flat? How crucial was it for Conway and Latham to get back in the runs after a difficult series? Will Shoaib Bashir ever have the ability to hold up an end?

  • Following On - How Difficult Is It To REGAIN Trust Once It's Broken & Will Stokes Return With His Reputation Enhanced?!
    Jun 24 2026

    Jon Norman is joined by the former England wicket-keeper Matt Prior and Cricket Writer Jarrod Kimber to reflect on another busy week for English Cricket off the field. How difficult is it to regain the trust once it's broken? How important are honest conversations for a healthy team culture? How did Matt find the balance of brutally honest and not crossing a line with his team-mates? Will Ben Stokes return to the dressing room with his reputation enhanced or eroded?

  • Following On - Will Stokes & McCullum's Relationship Ever Be The Same, Or Shall England Make A Change?!
    Jun 23 2026

    Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to look back at England's 253-run defeat to New Zealand in the second Test at The Oval, and ahead to this week's series decider at Trent Bridge. They are also joined on the show by Women's Cricket Journalist and Author Raf Nicholson to discuss the biggest talking points from the T20 World Cup. Is Ben Stokes' relationship with Brendon McCullum repairable after the events of the last two weeks? Is it inevitable that the ECB will be forced into a change if England lose this series against New Zealand? Is Rob Key's position under scrutiny, or is the focus more on Brendon McCullum? What bowling attack do England select for this series decider? Is Jofra Archer fit enough to bowl after having his workload managed at The Oval? Do England pick a spinner with extremely hot weather forecast?

  • Following On - Is Next Week's Third Test BOOM Or BUST For Brendon McCullum As England Head Coach?!
    Jun 22 2026

    Jon Norman is joined by the former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney and Broadcaster Cameron Ponsonby to reflect on England's 253-run defeat to New Zealand at The Oval, and look ahead to the third Test at Trent Bridge next week. Is Brendon McCullum at risk of losing his job if they lose this series? Or will the hierarchy make a decision after this Test Match regardless of the outcome? How will fans feel about Ben Stokes' return to the England side as captain? How will it go down in the dressing room after McCullum & Key refused to publicly back him? How will McCullum's tenure as England Head Coach be defined if he were to leave his role after this series? Do England need to be better at selecting ready-made experienced players rather than throw youngsters in at the deep end?
