On this bonus episode of the show we're joined by Black Caps and Canterbury seamer Matt Henry.
We talk ICC rankings, the Black Caps environment and what it's like to bowl with the Dukes ball, before Matt talks about the excitement of another final and the chance to make history in this first edition of the World Test Championship.
Matt runs us through the logistics of the upcoming tour, the recent training camps, the planning that goes on behind the scenes and his personal ambitions for the next few months. And we couldn't resist the opportunity to re-live two of our favourite ODIs in recent memory - the 2015 and 2019 World Cup semi-finals against South Africa and India.
Keep an eye out in the coming weeks as we build towards the World Test Championship final. We'll have crossover episodes with podcasts from around the world, and there's more interviews on the way as well.
