S2 07 | In the Fourth Ashes Test it's Steve Smith v Ben Stokes

I hadn’t followed cricket before this podcast, but I love all the Andy Zaltman content I can get my hands on! I thoroughly enjoy this podcast as a way to keep up my awareness of the sport and because it’s so fun to listen to Felicity and Andy’s banter and enthusiasm.
