In conversation with Wisden Almanack Editor Lawrence Booth

About this episode

Jon Norman speaks with Wisden Almanack Editor Lawrence Booth about recent controversies in cricket and the future of the sport.

Will England's big three ever make up for the 25/26 Ashes debacle? Will Indian cricket ever be free of political interference? Why is the 150th anniversary pink ball Test a 'stinker' of a decision? And was day four and five at The Oval in 2025 a perfect showcase for the very best cricket can offer?
