May 15, 2018 The Cricket Badger reacts to England's 1st Test squad announcement
On this week's Cricket Badger Radio Show Podcast the Badger and Harders picked their 1st Test squad for England. When Ed Smith announced the real squad later the same day there were a few differences.
Badger and Harders picked Dom Bess and were not surprised to see the Somerset man in the squad, but the inclusion of Jos Buttler, who wasn't even considered when recording the podcast was a bit of a shock!

May 15, 2018 32: Cricket Badger Radio Show Podcast - Fabian Cowdrey and Graham Hardcastle - 15 May 2018
**Fabian Cowdrey** joins us on this week's Cricket Badger Radio Show Podcast and chats early retirement from Kent, his new events business and writing songs for his brother. A fourth generation from the incredible Cowdrey clan, Fabian is happy with life as businessman, songwriter and commentator.
We try and pre-empt the England announcement of Ed Smith's 1st Test squad by running the rule over all the runners and riders with **Graham Hardcastle**. You will probably guess it came as a great surprise that Jos Buttler was selected as we didn't mention him once! Sometimes runs as a T20 batsman don't qualify you for a Test return! We finish by assessing the actual squad announced later in the day by Messrs Smith & Co.

Back to our weekly podcasts and this week we look ahead to the English County Championship season.

The pair also discuss Martyn Moxon's reaction to Yorkshire losing both Liam Plunkett and David Willey on the cusp of the season's start - can anything be done to limit the effect the IPL is having on English county sides.
