This Week in Cricket #96 - Brendon McCullum's rock bottom rescue job

The Top Order Cricket Podcast

A busy week for the Top Order crew has meant this episode is a little delayed (recorded evening of Monday 16 May), but on the show we discuss:

• The sad news about Andrew Symonds
• Brendon McCullum's appointment as the England men's Test coach
• Kiwis winning the Fairbreak Invitational
• Black Caps' central contracts and what that might mean for upcoming tours and the T20 and ODI World Cups.
• And some news from the IPL

We'll be back early next week with another This Week in Cricket, covering the England Test squad, Katey Martin's retirement, IPL semi finals and plenty more. In the meantime, please take the time to give us a like, follow, share or subscribe on all our channels (@toporderpod on Twitter and Facebook, & @thetoporderpodcast on Instagram) and a (5-Star!) review at your favourite podcast provider, or tell a friend to download.
