Squad, Substitutes and Sponsorship Scandal

Greg James· Host0:00

Hello, and welcome to Tailenders.

Felix White· Host0:02

[upbeat music] Hello, and thank you for having us on Tailenders.

Greg James· Host0:06

We have Jimmy Anderson, we have Felix White, and it's me, Greg James, G-Force.

Felix White· Host0:11

Hooray.

Greg James· Host0:12

And welcome to another episode where- You're welcome for, yeah ... we've just in, just in the nick of time, they've, uh- [clears throat] ... the England men's team management have got their act together- [laughs] ... and sent across the squad for the upcoming series against New Zealand.

Felix White· Host0:27

Good timing.

Greg James· Host0:28

And we have it- For us ... in front of us. I was about to wiggle some paper like it's just come through, but it's just on the screen.

Felix White· Host0:35

Yeah, go on. Oh, okay.

Greg James· Host0:37

[paper rustling] Right.

Felix White· Host0:41

Is that the England squad?

Greg James· Host0:42

I've got it, just got it, yeah. It's just arrived through the door. [snorting laughter] Ben Stokes, Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson- This is- ... Sonny Baker, Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Bethel, Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, Matthew Fisher, Emilio Gaye, James Roux, Ollie Robinson, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue, or Tong, depending on where you grew up. Headlines, no Crawley, Ollie Robinson is back, Emilio Gaye is there, James Roux is in the tea, in the squad, and Sonny Baker in line for their first test caps. Jimmy Anderson, immediate thoughts when you read that squad, or maybe you've just heard it for the first time.

Jimmy Anderson· Host1:18

I didn't hear it. I was sort of earphones on.

Felix White· Host1:21

[laughing] I saw him fit.

Jimmy Anderson· Host1:23

But I know what it is. I know what it is.

Felix White· Host1:24

Yeah.

Jimmy Anderson· Host1:25

Um- [laughs] Did you ask for my reaction?

Greg James· Host1:27

Yes, im- immediate reaction from Jimmy.

Felix White· Host1:29

Oh, please.
