Episode Notes
Ben Stokes has quit England cricket, and Sanjay Murthy and Geraint Jones pick through the fallout.
They discuss the timing of Stokes’ decision, whether the final day against New Zealand exposed the limits of Bazball, and what pressure now falls on Rob Key, Brendon McCullum and the England leadership group.
There is also the major captaincy question: who leads England next?
Sanjay and Jonesy also pick their best England XI from their lifetime, look at who could replace Stokes as an all-rounder, play Silly Point, and preview the Women’s T20 World Cup semi-finals.
