It's a sad week for cricket as we lost The King at only 52, so of course this episode is dedicated to the GOAT Shane Warne; the man who made cricket sexy whilst being its best player. Jim, Si and Ash discuss his impact on the game and why it hurts the cricket community so much to lose him, then we look through England's upcoming series in the West Indies, discuss the #INDvsSL drubbing, the #PAKvsAUS test being played on the M6 and the all important North Staffs transfers and ask... how does a club survive losing 36 players and signing none?! Oh yeah! And we've somehow made it to 50?! #RaiseTheBat Follow us on Twitter: @ThirdManCrickUK or on Instagram: thirdmancricketuk or find us on Facebook.
