The Cricketer's County Conversation
Golden oldies setting the pace in early weeks
•
Episode six of The Cricketer's County Conversation podcast features discussions around the veterans leading the way with the ball in this season's Championship and the counties who picked up vital wins last week to get their summers moving in the right direction.
Melinda Farrell and The Cricketer's features writer Nick Friend analyse the enduring success of Ben Raine, Ben Sanderson and, of course, James Anderson, while Nick also speaks to Ash Thorpe, head of the Park View Cricket Academy, the state school in Chester-le-Street that has played a key part in the young careers of England hopeful Ben McKinney and Luke Robinson, who debuted for Durham at Lord's last week.
