The Final Word with Kate Cross
Added 2019-07-31 18:21:04 +0000 UTCIt's hard to find a better conversationalist than this England fast bowler. From up Manchester way, she's blunt as you like, good turn of phrase and funny as hell. And she's learned a lot about bridge from amateur to professional sport and the difficulty of holding it yourself together under pressure.
She's so chilled out that she kicked back with us at the ground in Hove a couple of hours before taking on Australia. Name one other team in the world that would let a player do that.
This episode also covers Ireland's fast-forward debut at Lord's, the Australia v Australia warm-up at Southampton, Meg Lanning's record-breaking hundred, and the Ashes squads for both men's sides.
