As assistant coach at Durham - the English county home of Ben Stokes - James Hilditch offers a rare Australian perspective on the inner workings of the England cricket team.

Joining Hooky and Sophie, James unpacks the mystique of Bazball:

• The mindset driving England’s approach to Test cricket
• The values they hold at the heart of their game
• Why they believe they can reclaim the Ashes abroad

Yet James also points out the vulnerabilities in England’s style that a seasoned Australian side could exploit.

This conversation was as insightful as it was captivating. We’re confident you’ll find it just as compelling.
