The Telegraph
About this episode

Michael, Phil and Ben are back in the studio with a very special guest as they build up to the return of Test cricket!

The legendary Sir Geoffrey Boycott joins the guys to discuss his new book, Being Geoffrey Boycott, which details his 18-year career which spanned 108 Tests for England.

We get his take on the current England setup and the impact of 'Bazball'. Geoffrey also explains why Joe Root stands alone as the best batsman in World Cricket, and he has a message for the ECB regarding their high performance review.

Plus, The Telegraph's Charlie Morgan joins the show after facing a machine replication of the South African pace attack. He fills us in on what it's really like to face Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje and Marco Jansen.
