This week on the show Joe, Ed and Marty discuss some of the big issues facing the great game:

- Whether the punishment was fair on Middlesex and/or Somerset and the possible legal action facing the ECB;

- the Ben Stokes drama rumbles on with sponsor starting to pull the pin;

- the Test Championship proposals and how this can be improved to protect and preserve the historic version of the game;

- Brad Hogg saddles up once again and some of the oldest players to play the game; and

- the return of the name the year quiz from Ed.

No Cheese this week - something about a trip to Ibiza, a birthday and a wedding has the poor lad out of action.
