Summary
A week away from the start of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, we launch our daily podcast that will run throughout the tournament.
Michael Vaughan explains why he thinks fielding will be key this tournament, Ebony Rainford Brent and Phil Tufnell wonder whether knowing the location of the nearest chippy helps World Cup preparation, and debate everything from ‘old twiddlies’ to ‘emotional ping pongs’. Plus Ramiz Raja picks six teams to make the semi-finals.
We’ll be back every day between now and the final, so make sure you’re subscribed. And feel free to send us your thoughts on tms@bbc.co.uk; put ‘podcast’ in the title. Be nice.
