"Merry Christmas!" "Thanks!"

Adam & Tony unwrap a bumper festive podcast. Cricket writer Tim Wigmore dials in to discuss his new book 'Cricket 2.0' (co-authored with Freddie Wilde) about the past, present and future of T20. How did it go from gimmick to main event? And how are batting and bowling in the format likely to evolve in the future?

Plus, thoughts on England's tough trip to New Zealand, the chaos in South African administration, and Test cricket's return to Pakistan, and we pay tribute to Bob Willis, a genuine legend in every sense.
