## Resource

Is this the point from when English test cricket starts looking up again? Is this the time for certain players to step up and stake their claim? Will Joe Root be a better captain than he was 4 years ago? Was Bangladesh's win the greatest in recent Test history? Did it highlight how bad we were in the winter? Sam Ellard is back alongside Faraaz Noor and Georgie Heath to discuss England's first test against Pakistan and that memorable win for Bangladesh over Australia in Darwin. Manchester Super Giants take the crown in the Men's Hundred, while the Trent Rockets lift the Women's trophy! Was this new look year a success for The Hundred? And the guys do their end of tournament awards. We finished with some chat on Joe Root llifting the curfew, Rocky Flintoff's magic century AND a rant on 'The Home of Cricket'. Enjoy!
