Seth, James and Rahul with the best England team of their lifetimes - in Seth & James' case, anyway - and Rahul selects an Indian XI to take them on.

Plus we'd like to hear how your club is dealing with the Covid-19 crisis - can you survive financially? How hopeful are you of getting any cricket in? And what are you doing to keep your cricket twitches under control in the meantime?

Seth, Rahul and James finally decide on their greatest Test team ever... 

A reminder of the rules:

They must be players you've seen (either live or on TV); so you must have been alive to see them play. This means (for the vast majority of people) no Don Bradman.

They could be playing at any venue in the world.

Let us know what you think of the selection - and which team would beat it! And next week we're going to do the best England and Indian Test teams of our lifetimes - so your suggestions on those (or any other country) very welcome.

Seth, Rahul and James try to come up with a wicketkeeper and an all-rounder for their greatest Test team ever... and only half succeed. 

A reminder of the rules:

They must be players you've seen (either live or on TV); so you must have been alive to see them play. This means (for the vast majority of people) no Don Bradman.

They could be playing at any venue in the world.

Let us know what you think of the selection, who you would have gone for - and your full lineups for next week - including bowlers.

This is basically an episode of argument as Seth, Rahul and James try to come up with a middle order for the greatest Test team ever...

A reminder of the rules:

They must be players you've seen (either live or on TV); so you must have been alive to see them play. This means (for the vast majority of people) no Don Bradman.

They could be playing at any venue in the world.

Let us know what you think of the selections, who you would have gone for - and who you'd choose for 6 & 7 - the all-rounder and the wicketkeeper - which we'll cover next week.

Hello all,

We hope you are well and generally coping with the awful situation we're in at the moment.

We thought we'd bring you a bit of a diversion - we're trying to devise our greatest Test team of all time.

The rules:

They must be players you've seen (either live or on TV); so you must have been alive to see them play. This means (for the vast majority of people) no Don Bradman.

They could be playing at any venue in the world.

It's James, Seth & Rahul this week to select the openers - let us know what you think of the selections, who you would have gone for - and who you'd choose for 3/4/5 - which we'll cover next week.

I'll have the Marlborough red, please. Oh sorry, you wanted episode notes, not wine notes. I always get confused with a NZ series. In this chat James Wickham is joined by Seth Bennett, and later James Gregg, to talk about England's new-look batting order, new coach, and new hopes.
