Hit For Six

Rob and Michael are joined once more by Freddie Larkins as they look to fill the final three spots in their dream England XI of the past 20 years. It's time to select the seamers. Who will be the three men chosen to lead England's attack? Will they play safe, or is an unexpected selection waiting just around the corner?

"Behind every great side, there's a great...spin bowler", or something like that! Joined by spin wizard and former President of the University of Warwick Men's Cricket Club, Robert Kraus, Michael and Rob decide who will fill this pivotal position in their England XI of the past 20 years.

The top 6 has been selected - Cook, Trescothick, Vaughan, Pietersen, Root and Stokes - and now it's time for the all-important position of wicketkeeper. England haven't been blessed with a glut of great glovemen over the past 20 years, so it's all up for grabs! Who will be the pairs' choice behind the stumps?

This is the one you've all been waiting for! Rob and Michael are joined by their respective fathers, Anthony Stileman and David Kynaston, both lifelong cricket lovers and strongly opinionated on all matters relating to the English Test side. It's the middle-order up for discussion this time around, who will join Kevin Pietersen in the "Boiler Room" of our fantasy England XI from the past 20 years.

Number 4, traditionally the place of the best batsman in a Test side, is the place up for discussion in this episode. Joined by Aldershot fan and Jonathan Trott enthusiast Sean, Rob and Michael have a number of potential candidates to weigh up. But there can only be one player selected in this most crucial of positions in their fantasy England side...

Number 3 is the glue to a good batting line-up. So who have Rob and Michael selected as their chosen adhesive? Joined by Freddie Larkins to help them make this crucial decision. Will it be the obvious choice? Or will there be an early surprise selection in this composite England Test XI?

Over the next few weeks Rob and Michael will be selecting their composite England XI from their living memory. Up first is the all-important position of opener. Who will be their rock at the top of the order?

Rob and Michael reflect on England's winter tours to New Zealand and South Africa. Who established themselves as England regulars, who failed to deliver, and where does it all leave England going forward? Plenty to discuss, despite the current lack of cricket, in this third Lockdown episode.

In this second Lockdown episode, Michael and Rob look back to that wonderful Sunday in July when England won the 50 over Cricket World Cup for the very first time. They also discuss whether Coronavirus may spell the end of the County Championship as we know it!
