Let's talk about Essex, baby

Season 7, Ep 1: It's Season 7! We made it through the previous season with all 87 daily shows from the World Cup and the Ashes, plus the long weekly shows. Now it's time to calm things down a touch. Essex did the double, winning the county champs and the T20 comp, so we chat to the entertaining Derek Pringle about his old side. The Australian women's team is gearing up for a fast series, the men are playing the Marsh Cup (yesssss Shaun), Australia delays a Bangladesh tour, Greg Chappell retires as selector, and England announce their next Test squad. Plus a whack of Nerd Pledge as the end. Get into it, as the home Australian summer podcast season begins (in spring).
