## Resource

Following the shock announcement of Ben Stokes’ retirement from International Cricket, Greg, Jimmy and Felix try to make sense of a dramatic week at Trent Bridge. So many questions…..Why now? Who will be the new Captain? What next for Baz? Will Ben change his mind? Why are talking about legendary photographer Martin Parr and Archduke Franz Ferdinand? Plus the joy of watching New Zealand play and history made for Ireland.
