Episode description

Yas Rana, Ben Gardner, Katya Witney and Mark Butcher reflect on the T20 World Cup group stage and look ahead to the Super Eight phase. There’s chat about a rare tournament failure for New Zealand, England’s narrow escape at the expense of Scotland and whether the new format has been a success. Scotland spinner Mark Watt joins the show to discuss their performances, their frustrations at not progressing to the next round and wanting to become a full member nation. Elsewhere in the show there’s a T20 Blast round-up, cricket technology in Euro 2024, Kumar Sangakkara on his return to club cricket and much more. 0:00 Intro / 1:32 Mark Butcher / 16:38 Win tickets to ENGvNZ / 17:06 T20 World Cup format / 24:08 New Zealand / 32:12 England's escape / 33:59 Mark Watt interview / 42:42 Scotland / 48:44 Kumar Sangakkara interview / 58:37 T20 Blast / 1:06:52 Cricket in Europe / 1:09:39 Chance To Shine / 1:15:24 Outro We're delighted to be working with Kia UK once again!
