In this episode, Matt looks at how the tourists floundered to their second 400+ run Test Match defeat of 2024, asks is Southee gets the respect he deserves, and ponders what England do with Ben Stokes after his latest injury setback.

In this episode, Matt looks at how England have secured a first Test series win in New Zealand since 2008 as they hammered their hosts to win the second Test match.

Brook, Bethell, and Duckett blasted away, while Root notched his 36th century. The bowlers blew the Black Caps away as Gus Atkinson claimed a hattrick and Brydon Carse continued his brilliant debut winter.

Not even a counterattacking hundred from Tom Blundell could stop New Zealand from being defeated inside three days. Is a series clean sweep on the cards?
