Following On - Bethell's Injury Scare; Nathan Smith On New Zealand's Chances & Ticket Drama In South Africa!
5/26/202655 min
Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to discuss the week's biggest stories. They are also joined on the show by the New Zealand all-rounder Nathan Smith, and the England batter Heather Knight. How big a blow will it be for England if Jacob Bethell misses the first Test at Lord's next week? Who comes in to replace him at No.3 if he is ruled out with injury? Was the decision for Jofra Archer to miss the first Test now justified after Rajasthan Royals made it to the IPL play-offs? Could England's Test stars miss a Test series to play in the 2028 LA Olympics instead? How are New Zealand feeling ahead of their Tests against Ireland and England? Is this the strongest New Zealand bowling attack in their history? How will England's World Cup chances be impacted if Nat Sciver-Brunt is ruled out with injury? What's going on in South Africa with tickets for the Newlands Test against England this winter?

[upbeat music] You're listening to Following On with me, Neil Manthorpe, alongside former England fast bowler Steve Harmison for the usual busy show. Uh, stay tuned later on for interviews with New Zealand all-rounder Nathan Smith and England World Cup-winning captain Heather Knight. But for now, Harmy, we're talking Jacob Bethel again. He's been recalled from the IPL after injuring a finger. And do you know what? I ... Slightly peculiar is that this is being treated almost in the same way as if Harry Brook had bust a finger. Do you know what I mean? I, I mean, I know I'm old-fashioned, but Jacob Bethel's played six test matches, and yes, he did make 150 in his last one, but he's not scored any runs in the IPL. I ...
