Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to dissect England's Test squad named for the first 2 Tests against Pakistan later this month. They are also joined on the show by the former Australia fast bowler Jason Gillespie to look ahead to a potentially career defining 12 months for the Australian Test side. Is Sam Curran the man to fill the void left by Ben Stokes in England's Test side? Does the 16-man squad named suggest that England will go without a specialist spinner at Headingley and Lord's? Do England have the quality in Test Cricket to return to being the No.1 side in the world?

Listeners outside of the UK can hear live ball-by-ball commentary of England's three-match series against Pakistan on the talkSPORT Cricket YouTube Channel.

Is Stephen Fleming the right man to win England the Ashes? Is there a worry about his lack of test experience? Should we just let Joe Root focus on his batting? Does this give more hope of Stokes' return next summer?

Sam Ellard is back alongside Faraaz Noor and Georgie Heath after the week in which the ECB appoint Stephen Fleming as coach and Joe Root as captain of the test side.

Captain of the Birmingham Phoenix, South African franchise superstar Donovan Ferreira, joined the show. He reveals all on his incredible journey through cricket to the very top of the game!

We have the very first edition of the new Faraaz feature 'Power or Lifting' AND ended on a classic 'Heath Sledger'.
Enjoy!

Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to reflect on Stephen Fleming's appointment as the England Test Head Coach. They discuss what he'll bring to the role, what it will be like working with Brendon McCullum, and also react to the news that Joe Root has succeeded Ben Stokes as the Test captain. They are also joined on the show by the former New Zealand Head Coach John Bracewell to give them an insight into what to expect from Stephen Fleming during his tenure, and where it went so wrong for Brendon McCullum as Test Coach.
