The end of Bazball
About this episode
The episode discusses the end of Bazball and the future of England Test cricket amidst significant changes in leadership.
Season 20, Episode 21: It's finally over. Brendon McCullum has gone, Ben Stokes has gone (at least for now), and Rob Key is incongruously the last man standing, tasked with looking for a sensible adult to lead the England Test dressing room after having spent four years looking for anything but. Bazball had its moments, but did it have much of substance? And what can usefully come next, without reflexively going in the complete opposite direction? Also this week, there are questions over Ash Gardner's judgement after tabloid stories about mixing her personal and professional life, and the ICC restructures both men's World Cups to maximise the chance of more India-Pakistan airtime. Geoff and Adam look over a huge week. Could you support the show?
