In our debut episode, Trigger and Posh Girl Sophie step up to the crease and dive straight into the drama shaping English cricket.

We kick things off with the ongoing feud between Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen over Jacob Bethell — should he be honing his red-ball game in the County Championship or cashing in and developing in the IPL? It’s the classic England vs franchise debate, and opinions are… strong.

Next, we unpack the rumours סביב Steven Finn potentially stepping into a role with England’s selectors — what he could bring, why it’s controversial, and whether he’s the right man to shape the future of English cricket.

Then it’s time for Trigger’s first-ever “Triggered at Midwicket” rant — and yes, it’s exactly as fiery as you’d hope.

From there, we turn selector ourselves: picking our England XI for the first Test against New Zealand. Who opens? Dom Sibley, James Rew, or Emilio Gay? And should players like Will Jacks, Jofra Archer and Bethell be rested after IPL commitments to refocus on Test cricket?

We wrap up with a look at the remarkable return of James Anderson — can the veteran seamer force his way back into the Test side after tearing it up in county cricket?

Feuds, fresh faces, bold calls and a proper rant — this is Triggered at Midwicket.
