Welcome back to the Bishop and Bear, cricket’s finest virtual pub.

An absolute smorgasbord of discussion topics this week, so your ursine landlord and episcopal barman needed to find someone of weight and forthright opinion to help navigate through them. And we did find one too. Who else, of course, but our own Hendo.

Delicately sipping a coffee liqueur or two , Hendo gets fully stuck in with us to cover all of the following and more besides:

·     The Sri Lanka series to date

·     A disappointing Sunday crowd for a great day of Test Cricket and what’s to be done?

·     The Lords Man of the Match Award

·     Breaking news about that award winner – Gus Atkinson

·     A look forward to the Oval Sri Lanka Test

·     The September return of the Kookaburra

·     Farhan Ahmed, WG Grace and Abraham Lincoln (and does the Bear know the connection between them?)

·     BMac as supreme ruler across formats and the impending Aussie white ball series

·     Bangladesh making history in Pakistan

Do grab yourselves a drink and settle in to join us for the chat. We love having your company.

By the way, if you want to help us keep our show on the road and great cricket coverage free across the internet, then do please consider supporting us through Patreon here. There are loads of great benefits as well as our undying gratitude of course.

Cheers!

Your Ursine Landlord and Episcopal Barman
