Or to put it another way: Surrey’s Tom Lawes makes himself unavailable for the club’s One-Day Cup campaign.

Ta. Enjoyed the podcast. Used to see Ken around all the time in the 80s, and I worked with Steve at the London Daily News.

Enjoy it, Smithy. Sorry, but come on the Arse. See you at The Oval soon.

Only because the Sexist IPL has stopped woman from having their own competition. 2023 is when they will allow woman to have their own IPL.
But no India internationals, like in the county One-Day competition.

So any England player who scores a 100 against Simon Harmer this week is shit because he didn’t do it in 100 balls in front of a few thousand on Sky Sports.

So his match-winning 150 not out against Essex last month in the County Championship was a mirage?

No. On so many levels no. None of these 8 franchise teams have brought players thru the ranks. None own the stadiums they play in. Without county cricket there is no test cricket. The Hundred leeches off the established formats. It’s aim is making money. Nothing else.

About two years ago on your show a caller rang in to say we were heading for fascism and you gave him short shrift and hung up on him. You should find that clip and apologise. Not the first time you’ve got something wrong, as the book says.

@mrjamesob perhaps you referenced the wrong US TV programme. Maybe Billions instead of Succession: does he want to become president?
