Wisden Cricket

The panel discuss Australia's dominance in women's cricket and how England and the rest of the world can possibly catch up, after Meg Lanning's side won their third consecutive world title. Mark Butcher brands the domestic schedule "horrendous", explains why producing quality pitches is so hard, and gives his take on the race to be the ECB's managing director of England men's cricket. There's a bumper County Championship preview, featuring an interview with Rory Burns, and title and promotion predictions. The panel also look at Babar Azam, who starred in Pakistan's ODI series win over Australia, and try and work out just how good he is.
