The Vaughany and Tuffers Cricket Club
England's winning v entertaining debate, with Mark Ramprakash
•
Michael, Phil and Ben look ahead to the fifth and final Test between India and England, and whether Ben Stokes' side can end the series on a high by picking up their second win to leave the series at 3-2.
We discuss Jonny Bairstow's future as he prepares to win his 100th Test cap and what changes could be made to the England side beyond this series.
Former England batsman and coach Mark Ramprakash joins the show to discuss the series and where the line is between winning and entertaining. Is the modern England fan more interested in exciting performances rather than winning Test matches?
