Did anybody listen to this yesterday? It sounds like another attempt to attract the young. Any thoughts?

I didn't listen to it but is it not more to do with what they're allowed to do having lost the rights for the series to Talk Sport?  They're not allowed to do ball by ball coverage so this will be as much as they can do?

I can't imagine the younger fans having the time or maybe inclination to listen to ball by ball anyway.

I remember when a certain G Boycott engineered the broadcasting rights for K MacKenzie and Talksport  - only after the first test did they realise that no one was listening because the time differences meant their target audience was asleep. Mind you, Ebony what’s her face puts me to sleep so Aggers might have invented the best non-chemical cure for insomnia...
