About this episode
Season 19, Episode 8: Adam and Geoff are in London this week, where it's freezing and awful, and the dream of Perth summer beckons like a mirage. But this vision is real, as England are learning after arriving there themselves. We'll be not far behind. The new TFW book is launched, there's more Ashes squad intrigue, and a lap around the world takes in Paul Stirling making runs in the Ireland Test cap, Bangladesh's most dedicated reporter firing up after 25 underwhelming years at Test level, and Quinton de Kock slotting back in for South Africa. Also this week, a chat with Lacuna founder Leigh Burns on why making cricket kit for women grabbed her attention.
