The Cricket Collective - Why Bairstow Should Open In The Ashes & Liam Plunkett's American Dream!

Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison for another busy show. They reflect on Ollie Robinson's comments that England could give Australia 'a good hiding' in the Ashes this summer, and they also hear exclusively from England duo Jonny Bairstow and Chris Woakes. They also discuss whether Jonny Bairstow should open the batting for the Test side this summer, whilst England World Cup winner Liam Plunkett joins us to reflect on the inaugural Major League Cricket Draft, in which he was signed for the San Francisco Unicorns, playing alongside Aaron Finch and Marcus Stoinis. We also hear from the South Africa captain Temba Bavuma after he scored 3 centuries in as many months, and we discuss the other big stories, as Dane van Niekerk retires from International Cricket, and Ireland are set to host India for 3 T20s this summer.
