Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to discuss the latest on England's search for a new Test Head Coach & reflect on their ODI series win against India. They are also joined by the former West Indies international Philo Wallace to pay tribute to Sir Garfield Sobers after his passing at the age of 89. Who should England appoint as their new Head Coach after Andy Flower ruled himself out of the role? Do they need to have a coach in place for the Pakistan series, or should they appoint an interim for those 3 Tests? Will this be the biggest decision of Rob Key's career as England Men's Managing Director? How will the dynamic work with the Test Coach working alongside Brendon McCullum? Are England turning the corner in ODI Cricket after their series win against India? Has the Jacob Bethell experiment as an ODI opener been a success? What are they missing in order to go deep in the World Cup in South Africa?

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

England clinch a 2-1 ODI series win over India with a record breaking win at Lord's. Are we actually quite good?

The guys give their full board of predictions. Sam speaks to West Indian cricket journalist Barry Wilkinson as the cricket world says goodbye to one it's greatest, Sir Garfield Sobers. And Georgie Heath is back with another 'Heath Sledger'. Enjoy!

On this week’s episode, Sam Ellard was back alongside Faraaz Noor and Georgie Heath.

Brendon McCullum is gone (from the Test side). Was he lucky to survive as long as he did? How will we look back on his time in charge? AND what next for the England Test side? Meanwhile England's T20 team are thriving as they storm to a 4-0 series win over World Champions India, sky rocketing them to the top of the T20 rankings. Is Harry Brook captain material? Vaibhav Sooryavanshi struggles to adapt to non Indian pitches. England's women lose again at Lords with some legends retiring. We have a dip into the fascinating world of club cricket and Georgie Heath is back with another 'Heath Sledgers'. Enjoy!
