The Commonwealth Games ends, The Hundred starts, and a lookback to England v South Africa, 2003

Wisden Cricket Weekly

Mark Butcher, Jo Harman and Taha Hashim join Ben Gardner to discuss England's fourth-place Commonwealth Games finish, Lisa Keightley's legacy as she steps down as head coach, and the implications of Tahlia McGrath appearing in the final despite testing positive for Covid-19.

They also discuss what to expect from incoming ECB chair Richard Thompson, the opening stages of The Hundred and the One-Day Cup, and Jason Roy's continuing poor form.

The episode also includes a lengthy lookback at England's 2-2 Test series draw with South Africa, which featured the end of the Nasser Hussain era, the start of Michael Vaughan's reign, two double hundreds for Graeme Smith, South Africa's new captain, and a breakout performance from Andrew Flintoff. Butcher, who made his final Test century in that series, and Martin Bicknell, who returned after a ten-year absence to play a key part in the decider, give their recollections.
