Is Stephen Fleming the right man to win England the Ashes? Is there a worry about his lack of test experience? Should we just let Joe Root focus on his batting? Does this give more hope of Stokes' return next summer? Sam Ellard is back alongside Faraaz Noor and Georgie Heath after the week in which the ECB appoint Stephen Fleming as coach and Joe Root as captain of the test side. Captain of the Birmingham Phoenix, South African franchise superstar Donovan Ferreira, joined the show. He reveals all on his incredible journey through cricket to the very top of the game! We have the very first edition of the new Faraaz feature 'Power or Lifting' AND ended on a classic 'Heath Sledger'. Enjoy!
