About this episode

On this week’s Stumped with Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell & Charu Sharma, we take a look at the state of play in the Women’s Ashes so far, debate the maiden use of DRS in the competition and ask if the format works.

As the ICC name their cricketing achievements of the year, we celebrate Pakistan cricket after they picked up four awards.

We are joined by a Guinness World Record holder who has successfully achieved the highest catch of a cricket ball ever. Plus after an autograph book was found in Somerset containing signatures from the ‘golden age’ of cricket, we share our autograph stories.
