Ahead of the Essex AGM, I caught up club treasurer Neil Faraday to talk about the financial health of the club and how to keep ahead of a fast-changing environment post-Covid.

We also talk player budgets - for both the men and the women's teams - as well as an update on plans for the redevelopment of the ground at Chelmsford.

With the wait nearly over, Paul Newman from The Athletic joins me to assess England's chances Down Under. Has the preparation been enough? Does England's all out pace attack have enough to beat an aging Australian side? What did we learn from the white ball tour to New Zealand and there are questions over the schedule (again??!) as a T20 World Cup follows straight after the conclusion of The Ashes.

There's a wider look at the Test landscape and the need to bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots..

Derbyshire stalwart David Griffin aka Griff joins me as county cricket enters its low point on the calendar. We talk all things Derbyshire, as the county celebrates its 155th anniversary.

Also a look forward to the 2026 county fixtures release later this month, the necessity of wearing shorts whatever the weather and, given Griff is such a huge fan, a chat about the new Bruce Springsteen movie "Deliver Me From Nowhere".

Make sure to follow Griff on X at @dgriffinpix, he's very good!
