Episode Notes
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?
Listeners outside of the UK can hear live ball-by-ball commentary of the third Test between England and New Zealand on the talkSPORT Cricket YouTube Channel.
