In a brand new series, Cricket Author and Broadcaster Neil Manthorp speaks with journalist and author Ben Bloom about his new book 'Batting For Time - The Fight To Keep English Cricket Alive'. Over the course of the show, they discuss the 18 county model, and the challenges of adapting to an evolving market with the introduction of franchise leagues. They also discuss the impact of private investment in The Hundred, and whether we will see a 'Top 6' County Championship in the future.
