Cricket Banter

Refresh my memory guys - is the rearranged game with India taking place this week, because Covid positive cases were recorded by either team or just by India last year?

I noticed a couple of new commentators on BBC2 / Radio5 Extra.

Alex Hartley is a left arm spin bowler who plays for Lancashire Women's team and Northern Thunder
And then I find out she comes from Blackburn

Eoin Morgan is expected to announce his retirement from International cricket tomorrow. He has captained the white-ball side for seven & a half years. Jos Buttler is expected to replace him.

She co-hosts a podcast with Kate Cross, called No Balls.

Alex Hartley has been doing cricket commentary for BBC radio for a while now and I think she has been a breath of fresh air.
Talks good sense, keeps things simple and is very engaging.
