## Resource

Is Kevin Pietersen the right appointment for this England side? Will his strong personality benefit or hinder this side? Who needs runs more than anyone this week at Edgbaston vs Pakistan? Should England be resting some of their front line seamers? Why are the British public being priced out of watching the Ashes next summer? Sam Ellard is back alongside Georgie Heath and Faraaz Noor to discuss the shock appointment of Kevin Pietersen to England's White Ball set up. They also look ahead to the 3rd and final test vs Pakistan at Edgbaston this week AND dive into the County Championship as we reach the latter stages. Faraank gets another run out as Faraaz gives you his top 3 mavericks in the world of cricket AND Heath Sledger returns as Georgie lays into the ECB for the price of Ashes tickets! Enjoy!
