The Vaughany and Tuffers Cricket Club

Ben, Michael and Phil reflect on yet another frustrating series for new England white-ball captain Jos Buttler. After levelling the ODI series with South Africa, England were forced to settle for a draw after the deciding match at Headingley was rained off.

We discuss Buttler's stuttering start to life as skipper and draw comparisons with Joe Root's tenure as Test captain, suggesting that Buttler, like Root, is suffering from a lack of support whilst also dealing with a packed schedule.

Our guest this week is the Indian cricket legend Ravi Shastri. After having profound success as both a player and a coach, he has now established himself as one of the leading commentators in the game. Shastri discusses some of the highlights from his glittering career, how he thinks the IPL will develop into a two season competition and gives us his take on 'Bazball'.

We also discuss a remarkable innings from Glamorgan's Sam Northeast, who hit 410 not out in the County Championship before a declaration denied him the chance to break Brian Lara's record of 501!

Michael, Phil and Ben are back in the studio with a very special guest as they build up to the return of Test cricket!

The legendary Sir Geoffrey Boycott joins the guys to discuss his new book, Being Geoffrey Boycott, which details his 18-year career which spanned 108 Tests for England.

We get his take on the current England setup and the impact of 'Bazball'. Geoffrey also explains why Joe Root stands alone as the best batsman in World Cricket, and he has a message for the ECB regarding their high performance review.

Plus, The Telegraph's Charlie Morgan joins the show after facing a machine replication of the South African pace attack. He fills us in on what it's really like to face Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje and Marco Jansen.

Michael, Phil and Ben look back on England's comfortable win in the second test with South Africa which levels the series between the pair heading into the third and final match.

There's praise for Ben Stokes performance with bat and ball as well as his captaincy which seems to be evolving with each match played.

Elsewhere there's finally some praise for Zak Crawley following a difficult summer.

Our guest this week is none other than former England captain Joe Root! He joins the podcast to discuss how it feels to be re integrated into the side without the burden of captaincy, his close bond with new skipper Ben Stokes and also why this England side is the funnest he has ever played in.

Away from the test side, Mike says it's time the Welsh Fire were disbanded for their own good as they continue to struggle in the Hundred and there's sympathy for the village side who were bowled out for just nine runs!
