This week we go off road - A cricket equipment industry first has been launched, allowing people to pay for their gear over 12 months with zero percent interest. This program is not only a UK first but potentially the first globally. Also discussed was 'reruns' – a new initiative where used cricket bats could be returned, refurbished and sold at a significantly lower price, making quality equipment more accessible. Some reflection on the careers of cricketers Neil Wagner and James Anderson was part of the conversation, along with predictions for the upcoming England vs India 5th test. We conclude on whether they'll play cricket this year and shared humorous anecdotes. The episode underscores the importance of advancing the game, increasing participation and avoiding elitism as essential for the sport's continued growth.
