About this listen

Ross Taylor joins Alyssa Healy, you, and Adam Peacock to chat about his move to play for Samoa in cricket. Ross shares the reasons behind his decision to come out of retirement and explains the qualifying process the country must go through to make it to the T20 World Cup. We chat about Ross's incredible record in Australia, including scoring 290 at the WACA, facing Starc's 160.4kph delivery, and the heartbreak for New Zealand in the 2015 and 2019 World Cup finals. Plus, Heals joins us from India as the Australian Women's side prepares for the World Cup. She talks about the pitch she played on against India in the warm-up match, Dickie Bird's sad passing, Ravi Ashwin joining the Sydney Thunder, and England's Ashes squad announcement.
