Episode 149: World Cup Squads, Ireland Series & RHFT Shocks

With a Test match between England and South Africa concluding, plus some news about future World Cups, there is a lot to chat about as always. As mentioned in the pod, we are running the Manchester Marathon in April and are doing it in aid of The Cricketers’ Trust, who provide support for professional cricketers and their families when they need it most. It’s a token of our appreciation to all the players who provide us with such joy every summer. If you feel able, please give generously to support this most excellent cause. https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/pollyandrichard
