Episode 3312: Keith’s Word, Rooster Of Barcelos, Cricket Appeal, India Or Brazil

Former Ireland midfielder Keith Andrews is a Premier League manager, and it appears that a key part of being a Premier League manager is submitting yourself to the attentions of film crews, at all hours of the day and night. Brentford’s social media team has been granted access all-areas, and Ken has been watching closely. What has our man learned about the Andrews Method?

England and India are playing out an incredibly dramatic test series this summer – ahead of the fifth test starting tomorrow, Jonathan “The Nightwatchman” Wilson joins us to talk about why Ben Stokes might be England’s greatest ever cricket captain, why this test series has been as good as any in the last 20 years, and whether the Indian test team is the most pressurised environment in world sport.

Eoin showcases his grasp of the cricket basics, Murph bemoans the vagaries of the Dukes ball… and Ken gives us his Word of the Week.
