How's Stat

In this mini-pod, we hear about Lee's cricketing adventures from Cyprus to Nepal (where he joins us from). We hear about how cricket is developing in Nepal, particularly with women and girls. No pod would be complete without a quiz, so Dave tries to name the top 10 from the Guardian's top 100 Ashes heroes. As always, we hope you enjoy the pod and play along.
