    May 18 2026

    Jon Norman is joined by Cricket Broadcaster & Analyst Jarrod Kimber and the Deputy Cricket Correspondent of the Telegraph Will Macpherson to dissect England's Test squad for the first Test against New Zealand. Is Ollie Robinson's still England's best new ball bowler? Is there pressure on Gus Atkinson to perform with Jofra Archer set to come back in for the second Test? Should England have pulled Archer out of the IPL so he could play in the first Test? Will franchises soon offer Cricketers multi-year contracts to play for them instead?

  • Cricket Collective - North Named New England Selector; Hadley's Heroics At Glamorgan & The PCA Chair!
    May 14 2026

    What do you make of the news that Marcus North has been appointed the new England selector? Does his knowledge in the County game mean he'll be suited to the role? How much of a say will he have in selection meetings or picking the team? Is this New Zealand's strongest squad to tour England in several years? How did Ryan Hadley feel about scoring his first ever first-class half-century to help Glamorgan beat Somerset? What did the Somerset players say to him after several plays and misses on the final day? Has it made him wanted to return to England and play more County Cricket in the future? Are current players worried about the ending to the season with 6 Championship games in 6 weeks?

    May 13 2026

    Who is Ryan Hadley? Are Somerset architects of their own downfall? Are the wheels coming off at Yorkshire? What's going on at Lancs? Why does it take 45 minutes of the show before Surrey are mentioned? Is the appointment of Marcus North going to be a good thing for English cricket? Why is Jon going to Milan at the weekend?
