  • The Cricketers Network Podcast Episode 3
    This week we are all power with a touch of grace as it’s big hitting allrounders day on The Cricketers’ Network. Black Cap white ball legend Jimmy Neesham joins Ben at the Eden park studio to discuss cricket why he’s played for 6 Vitality Blast sides and why he’d never want to become a leg spinner. We also hear from White Ferns Captain (and current World Cup leading run scorer) Sophie Devine just before the Ferns take on Sri Lanka in Colombo as long as the rain and the swarms of bugs, stay away.
