Sky Cricket Podcast: Warne, Botham, Atherton and Hussain discuss upcoming Ashes series
Sunday 10 September 2017 20:56, UK
With the Windies series now concluded, England's thoughts turn to the upcoming Ashes series in Australia.
Joe Root oversaw victories against South Africa and the West Indies in his first two series in charge of England, equalling AB de Villiers' record for notching a half-century in 12 consecutive Tests in the process.
In the latest Sky Cricket Podcast, which you can download here, our Ashes panel discuss whether Root should be left to bat in his preferred position of No 4, or move to No 3 where the team arguably need him more.
Sir Ian Botham, David Gower, Michael Atherton, Shane Warne and Nasser Hussain also discuss...
- England's options for a second spinner; whether it should be Adil Rashid, Mason Crane, or Jack Leach
- Shane Warne assesses the likely Australia team
- Who should be England's back-up keeper to Jonny Bairstow
- Whether or not Tom Westley should be taken to Australia
