The county cricket season is now in full swing and on today’s show you will be hearing from sportswriter Ben Bloom to talk all things county cricket.

Ben has just written Batting for Time, a fascinating book which explores the fight to keep English cricket alive against the growing influence of franchise cricket around the world. Ben discusses with me the many areas which are affecting county cricket in the 21st century, a sporting institution, which has been going for over 150 years. But what needs to happen now for the county game to survive and as Ben poses in his final chapter what is the purpose of counties?

After a year of extensive research interviewing over a hundred of the most important people in English cricket Ben is the best person to ask.
