This is part one of my conservation with Daniel Norcross. Daniel is a commentator for BBC Test Match Special. He also writes for various publications like ESPNCricinfo. Daniel is also the first guest on this show who commands his own Wikipedia entry. I invited Daniel over to reflect on the 2019 English summer season with the benefit of some distance. This episode includes the first part of our conversation which ended up being a reflection on the two outstanding figures of the summer.

Gaurav Sabnis is an Associate Professor of Marketing at Stevens School of Business in Hoboken, New Jersey. He is also a cricket fan. I spoke to him about the question of the viability of Test cricket. Is Test Cricket viable as a professional sport? What does it mean for a sport to be viable? This remains a question of interest among people who are interested in cricket. This is the first of hopefully many conversations on this subject with people from different fields.
