Matt Parkinson joins the show, tactical retirements, and cricket's marketing problem

Matt Parkinson joins the show to tell us all about his Test debut at Lord's, one that saw him go from readying himself for a day trip to the Lake District to padding up at Lord's over the course of a few hours (we apologise for the audio quality for that part of the episode). Another England spinner – Charlie Dean – joins us later in the show ahead of the Charlotte Edwards Cup finals day to talk about her meteoric rise over the past 18 months. Elsewhere, cricket writer Jim Wallace joins Ben Gardner and Yas Rana to talk about the Blast, Mithali Raj's retirement from the international game, the ODI World Cup Super League, Ranji Trophy records and much more.
