    County Cricket: Runs in all directions as Northeast breaks Lord’s record

    Kevin Howells is alongside Tymal Mills to bring you all the huge stories from the opening round of County Championship fixtures.

    Sam Cook reflects on his season opener for Essex as he took 10 wickets in the match, leading Essex to beat Nottinghamshire by 254 runs.
    Also, Kashif Ali talks to Kevin and Tymal about his journey to playing for Worcestershire and hitting two centuries in his two innings against Warwickshire.
    Plus, the Chief Operating Officer of the Professional Cricketers’ Association Daryl Mitchell joins the podcast to talk about the schedule demands of cricketers, how players are looked after with the commercial demands of playing so much cricket, and making sure players are staying safe when travelling for matches.
    And Emily Windsor wasn’t able to join Kevin and Tymal for the podcast, but she does send the guys a voice note as to why.

A national treasure!

Just a shame they box tick with some of the newer members of the team.

Why are the two ladies broadcasting under the banner of TMS?

I listen to TMS religiously, meanwhile the two ladies broadcast under the TMS banner, why???
They are completely useless, they should have their own podcast separately as they are shocking to listen to, they shouldn’t be any where near the TMS umbrella.

Cmon BBC, shine a light on the both of them, then fire them because they are beyond belief useless, boring and distant from anyone being the slightest bit interested in what these two have to say.
