Dobell Doubles Down, Wisden’s Winners, and Somerset Struggle

Join Dan, Zac, and Glenn as we discuss all the key developments in cricket this week.

We start with George Dobell’s puzzling support of Joe Clarke in The Cricketer. After receiving a backlash for his article, which suggested Clarke may become a future “role model” despite his past participation in a misogynistic group chat, Dobell doubled down on Twitter. Why is he dying on this hill?

We then turn to the Wisden Cricketers of the Year and learn that Dan doesn’t know what an almanack is.

In Part Two we round up all the action in the IPL and Country Championship. Jos Buttler is flying, and Somerset are struggling, so nothing new there.

More importantly, why isn’t the ECB bothering to advertise the Country Championship’s outstanding selection of international players? Yet another excuse for us all to complain. Enjoy!
